(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 it, why did I think of having bitter things when I have the ability to only eat sweet things?”

His words were like a puzzle questioning himself about the past!

“Your words are filled with discrepancy! Are you worried about that child?”

The butler asked, unlike how the normal butlers addressed their employers as Master, he was talking with Aden casually as if they were old friends.

“Worried, Me? Hahaha”

He started laughing hearing the butler.

“Did you know why agreed to marry him to my daughter even though he was an Orphan?”

He asked as if he was expecting an answer from him.

“Isn’t it because your loving daughter liked him?”

“Bullshit!”

He got up from his chair walking towards the window!

“Even if she loved her, I wouldn’t have let her marry an Orphan”

He looked out of the window, “You know when I ran a background check on him, I was quite surprised”

A look of disbelief appeared on the face of the butler, “Don’t tell me…”

“hahaha…. That was how I felt when I first found out! But I was quite disappointed seeing that he was an unawakened, but…”

“Just because a Tiger cub hasn’t awakened, it doesn’t become a cat, right?”

The butler remained silent for a movement “So the reason you sent Faker was to protect him?”

He asked as he was reminded of a black shadowed figure that left the room before he entered with tea.

“Protect? Utter foolishness! A man should learn to protect himself”

He laughed seeing out of his window into the distance.

“I just want to see what the tiger cub is trying to do”

“This is tough!”

Eren said as he sighed seeing the black window in front of him.

________

He was sitting in his usual place beside the window and was checking his skills.

Previously he had passed out just before he could check his skills but now that he was seeing them, He didn’t know what to feel about it.

[ Resentment(lv.1):

The resentment toward those who have wronged you, when the skill is activated, you will enter a berserk state, and all your stats will increase by 50% temporarily, giving you a boost. When the skill is activated, you will be numb to pain.

Duration – 2 min

Cooldown – 3 hr

Mana usage – 1000]

[Devotion to Revenge (Passive):

For a man will buy Revenge with his Soul! As long as your drive to seek revenge exists, you will not fall. The skill will increase the most needed stat at a particular time based on the situation temporarily.

(Caution: An equal amount of sacrifice would be made in the process)]

[Hateful strike (Lv-01):

Fill your weapon with hate and anger dealing an extra 100% damage to the enemies. There is a chance to inflict various effects based on the user’s emotions.

Cooldown – 10 min

Mana usage – 500]

[An Eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth (Special skill):

The will to return what you have received! This skill will perfectly copy the skill of the enemy that has been used to attack you and will return it with the same efficiency and power, the skill has the effect of ‘Unable to dodge’ which will hit the target without fail.

Note: The user must be hit with the skill before activating the skill.

Cooldown – 12 hours

Mana usage – Half of the mana reserve]

[The Eye of Vengeance (Special skill)(Passive):

My eyes are filled with Vengeance, what it sees is revenge nothing more nothing less. Will enable the user to see the information of the status window of others, provided that they must have or should bear a grudge towards any others.

Cooldown – none

Mana usage – none.]

Eren sighed seeing the status. He didn’t even know if the skills were good or bad.

Coming to the first skill, Resentment was a top tire skill like that of a Berserk of fighter class, but the downside was that He would enter a berserk state where his judgment and control over his body would be clouded and not to mention the effect of being numb to pain, though it may seem good at the surface, but when it comes to fighting others if he can’t feel the pain his sense would be dull, which would obviously decrease his dodging rate. And the thing the enormous mana usage, fu*k! A single skill requirement was about 2/3rd of his whole mana.

Of course, it would work out as he levels up, but he would better use it as less as he could.

Coming to the second skill, it was actually a passive skill. Normally awakeners would be happy to have a passive since it didn’t consume any mana or any other resources but Eren only felt fear seeing the skill, It was a good thing that the skill would increase one of his stats when needed but he was terrified with the sacrifice that was mentioned.

He was already having a whole bunch of thoughts of “What ifs….” In his mind.

Leaving that aside, Hateful Strike was the only decent skill he received!

Though not much, it would increase his attack power by 100% dealing double damage, and if he manages to attack critical spots, this skill was somewhat useful, though the random status inflicted was of concern.

Coming to the special skills, “An Eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth", was the top tire skill even among the special skills.

It was just too Overpowered, based on how he used it! Imagine if he somehow managed to withstand the dragon breath and use the same skill, Man! That would be too powerful, well, considering that he would survive after getting hit by Dragon Breath that is!!

Cough!

Eren was already having beads of sweat just imagining the pain he had to endure to use this skill!

Anyway, the last skill! It was actually the most superior and most stupid skill among all the ones he got!

Seeing the information of others was something that everyone in the world wished for but till now only two people were ever found to be able to do that, of course, it was with some restrictions!

But what mattered right now was that Eren had become the third person who would be able to see other’s states, but he wants without any restrictions either, there was a stupid condition attacked to it, which said that the target he was watching must have a grudge towards someone to be able to see his status!

“Seriously all the skills have so many restrictions how the hell am I going to use them, fu*k! Are these skills really useful?”

[What are you expecting all of them to be overpowered skills? There is nothing like that, if there is no risk, then there is no gain]

The system also seemed to have come back to its usual work of annoying Eren.

Eren who heard it just ignored the statement; he was already used to its tantrums in the last three days!

By now, he understood that it was useless to argue with the system, so he just gave up!

“The preparations are complete, Master”

Right, when he was about to get up from the chair, a voice was heard behind him, it was Scarlet informing him of the completion of preparations to go to his hometown.

“Right let’s….!!!”

Eren got up from his chair and turned around only to freeze seeing the sight in front of him.

    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!

    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

    Dalton von Rozental, a kind and warm person. At least that's how the world viewed him. 'There can't be anything more contrast than that', Thought Scarlet seeing Dalton Von Rozental in midst of the reporters. With black hair and brown eyes, he was quite a good-looking man, who would leave quite a good impression at first sight. But the reality couldn't be any further from that... In reality, He was an outcast among the Rozentals, being born as the second child of Aden Von Rozental's third wife, he was treated as a worthless fool. All the nine children of the Rozental family, except Dalton, were geniuses who excelled in various fields. Amidst Geniuses like them, Dalton was like a rotten apple among the fresh fruits fruits, though the apple may seem like a luxury for commoners, a rotten fruit nonetheless was disregarded. Even though he was a C-rank hunter at the age of 25, he wasn't given any attention by his father or family. It was precisely because he was overshadowed by the

    Without saying much after his interest-piquing words, Eren with Scarlet entered the association building.The media exploded as a result of his engrossing words, and numerous predictions concerning what his words implied started to arouse all around the country.While Eren was obvious to any of that, He went on his way to take the Awakener's exam.Shortly afterward they were greeted by a lady in formals and were led to the examination point."Only examinees are allowed past this point!", the lady said politely.Eren who understood her, turned towards Scarlet, "Wait in the reception, I will be back after the Awakener's exam."Scarlet nodded her head in response, "Good luck with the exam master, I am sure you will get a good score"Eren smiled at her encouraging words and entering the examination center.It was an enormous hall with many chairs placed in an orderly manner at a certain distance apart.Eren was led to his seat and was told to wait until the examiner arrives there.He didn

    "I want to take both the tests, Sir" Eren said standing in between the two groups! Joshua who was about to start examining the candidates stopped in his tracks and looked at him. All the other cadet's also turned towards him as they found a new cadet wanting to take both tests surprising. 'Is that the famous Toy-boy of the Rozentals?' He thought looking at Eren. 'He wants to do both the Physical test and skill manifestation test? Usually, it's recommended to focus on only one... Is he trying to show off now? ' Joshua glared at Eren thinking that he is using the chance to show off, but Eren didn't back down, he stood his ground against the S-rank. 'Well, it's none of my business!' "Come forward, we will do your test first" Honestly, he just wanted to get done with the test and go home, He was already too tired that he didn't want to even argue with anyone. Eren nodded his head walking ahead. he could sense cold gazes from other cadets but it wasn't anything new for him who wa

    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. "Someone who betrayed us and manipulated the

Eren questioned, clearly perplexed by the situation.Mr. Nice guy simply shrugged in response, implying that it didn't really matter.

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
