2024-10-29 19:42:56"Dear...you...you awakened? Are you joking now?"
A look of disbelief appeared on Julia's face as soon as she heard Eren saying that he has been awakened!
She knew that Eren wasn't a man who would joke on serious matters like this but even then, she asked if it was a joke.
Eren in turn didn't say anything but gave a warm smile.
Eren was expecting her to be astonished.
He thought she would be shocked at his awakening and would be happy, but what happened wasn't something he had thought of!
Tears rolled out of her scarlet eyes as her face turned red, Eren who saw her starting to cry again got agitated...
"Dear...why are you...ok...ok...calm down...Calm down..."
He was confused as to why she started to shed tears again all of sudden.
was she unhappy that he awakened? that's impossible, she would be happier than Eren himself, then why...?
"You...! Did you go to the dungeon putting your life at risk to awaken? were you that desperate?"
Eren froze!
Right, as an awakened herself, Julia knew better than anyone, what it took for a person to forcefully awaken.
If Eren had attempted such extreme measures, then she would obviously predict that something that drove him that desperate must have happened.
he wanted to say that wasn't the case but the words stuck in his throat!
"I am sorry Dear, even when you are...."
Eren didn't know what to say, he knew that she would have done everything in her power to prevent such things if she had ever known about his situation but the reason she didn't, was because he kept her in the dark about his sufferings!
He didn't know what to say, But He also couldn’t bear her blaming herself for everything so he just embraced her tightly.
"I am sorry..."
That was the only thing that came out of his mouth!
***
It was after about an hour that he was finally able to calm Julia down. They decided to keep his awakening as a secrete for now, but he wasn't spared her scolding.
At last, he was spared by making a promise that he wouldn't do anything reckless from now on.
A warm smile spread on Eren’s face just thinking about his wife.
"Now that situation has been resolved, it is time to plan the next move"
Eren had somehow managed to calm down Julia, but the problem didn't end there.
'He would have probably known about everything that happened by now.'
Aden Von Rozental, The strongest man on earth, the head of the Taylors, the guild master of the number one guild. He had many titles, but the one that was most famous was... The merciless Blade.
He was a man who didn't show any mercy to his enemies.
There was nothing that he didn't know, he had eyes and ears all over the country, maybe even outside the country...
So, it was very likely that he would have already known about what Eren did.
'It's better to meet him first rather than waiting for him to come find me.'
Aden Von Rozental wasn't called Merciless Blade for nothing. If Eren gets on his bad side, then there was no telling what would happen.
The last thing he wanted now was to annoy him.
Now that he had finally awakened, he didn't want to do something that was reckless.
'Besides...'
There was something that he wanted to talk to him about too.
Eren got up from his usual seat which was just beside the window of his room and looked outside from there.
His room was on the 2nd floor of the mansion, rather than a mansion, it was right to call it a fortress!
There were hundreds of magic formations and defense-type spells that were cast on it all the time, more than 30 B ranks, and at least 10 A-rank awaked stationed there to engage in combat at any time. and above all else, Aden Von Rozental, a man who has long surpassed the S rank.
Even if an S-rank dungeon spawns out there, it wouldn't be hard for them to raid it, or in the extreme case, they would at least be able to hold until the reinforcement arrives.
"It would be difficult to go out in the future"
Now that he had done something stupid, his freedom would obviously be going to be limited in the future.
It wouldn't even be even surprise if they decided not to let him out at all.
It would be difficult for Eren if that happened.
Now that he had obtained the system, he had to actively participate in dungeon raids and raise his level to increase his powers.
‘As I thought I need to talk to him soon.’
Eren decided as he called out Scarlet.
"Yes, Master, what can I do for you?"
Scarlet arrived shortly standing in front of him.
"I want to meet Father-in-law tomorrow"
He said sipping the tea from the teacup which was as usual designed lavishly in the form of a soaring dragon.
"What!!"
Linda was utterly shocked, to the point that she would have dropped the teapot in her hand if she wasn’t careful!
Well, it was normal for her to give that reaction, It has been already been three years since Eren had come to the Rozental family, but the last time he met with his father-in-law was…. well, he didn’t even remember meeting him.
I mean it was also understandable since Eren who was a non-awakened didn't have anything to do with the strongest awakened man on Earth.
"Didn’t you hear me?"
Eren asked, his voice didn't contain any anger towards her nor did it have any kind of expression!
Scarlet came back to reality after hearing his voice, as expected of a maid from the Rozental family, she soon calmed down as she replayed.
"I will make the necessary preparations, Master!"

"What? stop blabbering and tell me what you really want?" Aden couldn't probably believe that his son-in-law, who was literally locked in his own room for almost three years now, wanted to return to his hometown. He just thought that he wanted some money to play around with and was beating around the bush not knowing how to ask him. "That is really all I want" Eren couldn't possibly say that he wanted to train secretly for about three to six months until he feel safe himself so that he could survive in the midst of the ' Monsters of Rozentals". "Why?" The reaction he got was scary. The look on the face of Aden Von Rozental was distorted. He looked very scary at the movement. Eren instinctively took a step back and dug his fingernails into the skin. "Why would you say that?" Aden made Eren change his last name to Rozentals as the condition for agreeing to their love, because he didn't want his loving daughter to go to some no-name-named family, and since Eren was an Orphan,

(In the office of Aden von Rozental after Eren left) A butler entered the room holding a vase and started pouring wine into the glass. “This is a wine called, Heavenly Pleasure, apparently it is made of the dungeon grapes that were recently discovered in the S- rank dungeon that our guild raided”, said the butler still pouring the wine. Aden took the glass taking a sip. “Ah...! It’s too sour, I wish it were a bit sweet” He kept the glass of wine on the table, “I think I would better have the wine that was fermented for a decade rather than this!” “It seems you are unusually in a good mood today, Master” The butler said taking the cup away. “You can say?” “You never turn down alcohol if you are not in a good mood, and you seem to hate having bitter things when you are in a good mood” Aden smiled at him “Hmm..10 years ago I believed that having bitter things will what mature you…” He looked at the portrait of the woman which was kept on his table, “But now that I think about

Atop a hill, far from the contact with city, in the countryside was a house that stood alone amidst the grassland-like landscape, and not far away from there was a calm and beautiful lake. A mother duck was swimming in the lake with a dozen of ducklings on its back, from the front of the house to the nearest connecting road a path, there was a road made out of rocks giving it a touch of aesthetic beauty. Shortly, a luxurious-looking car, which was actually the newest model of Rolls Royce Phantom, arrived at the scene. A man wearing a typical dress of a driver who came out first opened the back door of the car, and out of the car, descended a man with dirty blond hair and pitch-black eyes. It was a long journey, It almost took a day of journey in the top model car just to reach there. stretching his body after getting out of the car, Eren looked at the beauty of nature in front of him!

The Secret Heir: I Became the Heir of Strongest Hidden Clan Chapter 12 - Daily Quest
Awakened! They were the last ray of hope that guarded humanity against the monsters and dungeons. Though the humans started to awaken irregularly after the great disaster, there were too many unanswered questions about them. How did they get their power? what were the conditions to get that power? and how can they become strong? there were just too many questions to list. But after long and tedious research, scientists have managed to answer some of them. How did the awakened get their power? It was due to the presence of mana which was previously absent on the Earth before the great disaster. And about their power...Except for some rare cases that happened once in a while, most humans would awaken as an F rank, but the power of an individual would differ largely based on the skills they would awaken. Normally, an average awakened would have two normal skills and the strong awakeners would have two normal skills in addition to a single special skill. The people with special sk

"Dalton Von Rozental...?....Why is he here'' Grant Ballard, the report that was waiting for Eren in the parking lot said to see a familiar face in the center of the gathering. Dalton von Rozental, the 6th son of the Rozental Family, although not as popular as his other siblings, he was quite a popular person. Dalton is a C- rank awakener, although C-rank may seem good in the eyes of common people, the descendent of Rozental's being in the C-rank even after 8 years of awakening was shameful for the Rozental Family. 'I didn't think there would be a bigger headline than the Awakening of the Toyboy!' It was only before a week that he got a call, informing him that Eren Rozental, the one who was famous as the toy boy of the Rozental family would be participating in next Awakener's association exam for registering himself as a Hunter. Even though Eren is considered a worthless dog by the Rozentals, the World nonetheless deemed him as a part of Rozentals, so it was natural that any new

Eren's mind raced as he absorbed the revelation that the Fire Dragon, Ugram, was bound by a sacred pact to protect and aid the Pendragon family. The implications were vast and hinted at a deeper conspiracy that had plagued his past life.His thoughts turned to the decline of the Pendragon family in his previous life. He recalled the tragic event that wiped out his entire family, leaving him as the sole survivor. It had been a night of chaos and destruction, with the fire dragon going on a rampage, nearly destroying the empire.But the fire dragon was now telling that it wasn’t the one Eren pondered the events, he couldn't shake off the feeling that there was more to the story. The pieces didn't fit together neatly, and there were gaps in his memory, as if some crucial information was intentionally hidden from him."Ugram, I believe there was a traitor among the Pendragon household in my past life," Eren began, his voice firm and resolute.

"What kind of nonsense... aren't you the one who gave it to that rabbit?" Eren questioned, clearly perplexed by the situation.Mr. Nice guy simply shrugged in response, implying that it didn't really matter. At the moment, what mattered was that their beloved Tori had become a thief."Then, based on the proof of my rank, I should find the rabbit named Tori before my condition runs out," Eren concluded, looking for confirmation from Mr. Nice guy.Mr. Nice guy nodded, confirming Eren's statement. Without wasting any time, Eren mentally prepared himself and felt his body warm up instantly.His condition level was at 98%, and the drop rate was noticeably slow due to his high condition."I have to catch all the rabbits and turn them over," Eren thought determinedly.

When Eren heard that Mr guy was participating in the test, it was the first way that came to mind in Eren’s mind.‘It’s close to impossible for me to find it myself. So, borrow the opponent’s hand again this time.’In fact, it was an operation that could have failed if the opponent was not Mister Guy, a rather talkative evaluator.‘But still, I thought if it’s Mister Guy, he would spit it out at least once in a fatal situation.’In other words, he will surely spit out the word promise when he finds Tori, the situation assumed as the spell.The prediction was completely correct.Of course, it would have been better if it was just before catching Tori, but the situation is not bad now.“See. It’s my victory. No matter how many praiseful situations you’re going to throw in, I also have all the means.”The doubtful Eren, who confirmed that there was no star-shaped dot as a result of flipping the first rabbit’s belly, marked it with a pen and jumped toward the second, feeling anxious for s

13 minutes could feel incredibly long or incredibly short, depending on the person. Mister Guy let out a short sigh as he watched Eren in the distance, struggling to catch and number rabbits all on his own."It's such a shame. This was supposed to be a special test, and there must have been some good growth. But rules are rules," Mister Guy muttered to himself.He began walking towards Eren, his long legs carrying him effortlessly."It seems you misunderstood, Mister Eren. Unfortunately, luck wasn't on your side," he said, disappointment evident in his voice.Mister Guy knew firsthand just how challenging the rabbit-hunting, thief-catching test was. It was even difficult for him, and he had the support of the powerful God who watched over the test from above. Without their help, it would have been impossible to create such a difficult test for an E-Rank promotion evaluation."I didn't expect that person to pay attention to him so soon," Mister Guy thought, setting aside his thoughts a

The fight between the two armor knights, similar in specifications, no, and completely the same, lasted quite a long time.Eren expressed admiration, feeling the passion and romance of the man in the appearance of armor knights who exchanged fists with each other even when their teeth were all broken and their whole bodies were in a state of exhaustion.“Wow, it’s not easy. Not easy.” He really wanted to see who would win, but unfortunately, he couldn’t afford it.‘Condition 18%.’He had to organize it so that he could deliver the final blow.They fought among themselves, but their experience belonged to Eren.Eren, who had unconscionable thoughts, swung a counter punch at each other and approached the ‘Sun Knight’ first among the knights who went backwards with their heads bent.He was struggling to force his upper body, but the speed was quite slow.Thanks to this, Eren, who was quite comfortable and climbed over the knight’s head, asked.“Are you Star Knight?”To be honest, he cou

"Is there any way to bring it down?” Eren thought as he looked around him. “A spacious living room. Tools or situations that could harm the armor knight..." It's difficult to come up with a solution. The empty living room provided the perfect environment for a fair one-on-one match. "What's next? A weapon that only I can use..." It's not that he don't have it. However, using it would require consuming a significant amount of stamina points that I've been saving for future use. "Now is the time to save my stamina. It might be better to bypass the general difficulty level promotion review." [Condition: 56%.] Prolonged consideration seemed to be making the situation naturally worse. "Why create a monster that I can't even defeat? It's a proof of rank?." Of course, it might imply enduring as much difficulty as it presents. Is it right to give up at this point? I don't have to risk my life to clear the extreme difficulty. It wouldn't be a bad idea to go back and choose the norm

The intense battle, though short, was far from easy. The floor was now littered with broken and split cleaning tools. What surprised Eren was that despite the battle, only a small portion of the wallpaper was torn. However, he focused more on swiftly knocking down the cleaning tools, even with his heavier body, to prevent any further attacks."It's good that I've been training consistently," Eren thought, realizing that his body's muscle memory helped him react instinctively, even though his movements were slower and his mind was clouded.The system message displayed his current condition: 32%. It showed an improvement of 2% from before."Knocking down about 50 cleaning tools increased my condition by 2%? It doesn't seem very efficient, but it's better than nothing."He also realized that he couldn't simply walk through the mansion without caution. Every item seemed to be a potential threat, as even cleaning tools were moving.With heightened tension, Eren cautiously made his way thro
