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 monstrous talent of his siblings. Amidst his monstrous siblings, he was seen as nothing but ordinary.
And that's when Eren, a weak, non-awakened man entered the Rozental household as the lover of his beautiful and charistamatic sister.
Seeing someone weaker than him among his family, gave him a kind of relief.
Dalton Von Rozental who was oppressed by his siblings all his life, for the first time found joy in the feeling of trampling over others.
At first, it was just because he found someone weaker than him, but as the days continued, he started to beat up Eren for fun. It was to the point that beating Eren had become a form of entertainment for him!
"Look who is here, if it isn't my dear Brother-in-law?"
Dalton exclaimed seeing Eren who was walking towards the association and said with a warm smile on his face.
Eren who heard him stopped in his tracks.
'Damn!'
He cursed as his plan to go in without his notice failed.
He casually turned around trying to maintain his calm, but as soon as he faced Dalton who was coming toward him, he was shocked!

The 6th son of Rozentals, although he has a considerable amount of talent, being born among the Rozentals had made his performance overshadowed by his siblings, he has a deep hate for his siblings whom he believes to be the ones, the reason for his situation and sufferings, A hyena born among the Tigers.

The status window! it appeared again!
His skill "The Eye of Vengeance" was invoked once again without his will.
'So that was the reason why he was abusing me...'
Eren thought as he read through the status window, he always thought that the reason Dalton was acting like that was that he couldn't accept the fact that his sister married someone ordinary like Eren, but to think it wasn't because of that but rather due to his inferiority complex.
'I suddenly feel a little sympathetic for him'
Only a genius could understand a genius and likewise, only a loser can understand another loser.
Anyway, Eren brushed off the status window and gave a fake smile to Dalton who was just steps ahead of him.
"My dear Brother-in-law!"
Dalton smiled broadly as he hugged Eren.
Eren too hugged him back as so many cameras were on them right now, whatever may they have in between them, the image of Rozentals should never be tarnished among the society or else their heads may roll the next day!!
"I was told that you went on a vacation, I have been bored without you...brother..in..law"
Dalton whispered in his ears as he continued "I forgot to ask you, but why are you here today? don't tell me you decided to help sister Julia while recruiting this irregular into her faction:"
In the silent war for inheriting Lord Rozental's assets, The children of Rozentals made their own factions and strengthened them for the day to come when they fight!
It was the sad truth that the siblings born to the same father would end up fighting each other, but nothing could be done!
Eren was silent to his provocations, he just kept a smile on his face as he looked at the cameras.
"You know why I beat you up all the time? It's because of that damn smile on your face, that wouldn't leave even when your face becomes a bloody mess"
Likewise, Dalton also kept whispering while hugging him with one hand and smiling at the cameras.
"Now that I have met my sweet brother-in-law after so many days, we are bound to have some fun, meet me at my car parking...or else....."
he was about to say something when his secretary beside him intervened, "Sir, an urgent call!" He said while sweating profusely.
Eren who was looking at the cameras turned his head to face Dalton with even wider grin on his face, "I know you are thinking about beating me again brother-in-law, but if you don't leave now, you may receive a beating from someone else"
He said looking at the phone in Dalton's secretory hand.
The smile on Dalton's face disappeared all of sudden.
In the last year, no matter how much he beat up Eren, never once has he had the courage to talk back to him but now.....He was talking back to him!!
He was about to burst out in anger when his secretary intervened again!
"Sir it is urget, Lord Rozental is on hold!"
The secretory said Sweeting profusely, his face looked terrified that he felt like he would die if he don't hand over the phone to him immediately.
Dalton who heard him also got shocked!
The last time his father called him.....wait!...did he ever call him? why was a man like that calling him now?
Dalton had too many questions but didn't have the courage to make the man on the other side of the phone wait any longer, so he hurriedly took the phone from his secretary's hand and moved to where his car was parked.
Eren watched the back of frustrated Dalton who was running away frustratedly and smiled with content.
"He is a man of his word indeed"
He said remembering the words that his father-in-law said to him, 'Six Months, I will make sure no one in the house of Rozental will disturb you!'
Scarlet who was beside him heard him, but decided to stay silent!
Eren moved forward coming closer to the reporters as he said with a wink!
"Wait for the hot news!"

'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.

“Do you wanna die?” “…” Dalton’s motion hardened overall and the cigarette in his mouth fell to the ground. It was not simply because he was frightened by the savage force exuded by the almost B-rank Awakener who appeared before him. It was because it was simply unbelievable for even an S-rank to talk like that in from of Rozental's children. ‘Did I hear it wrongly?’ He couldn’t believe it. It would have been right to say that he was speechless and his brain momentarily frozen because it was so absurd for him. The emotion that followed was of course anger. “Have you gone crazy? a mere dog raised in the family is barking against me? I told my men not to beat you much and now without thanking me for being generous, you are trying to go up against me?” Dalton beckered in anger. “Won’t you answer the question? I asked if you really want to be killed.” “Impudent! you....a mere driver, do you think you’re a bi… Ack-!” Dalton screamed without even being able to determine what hap

"94...95...96..." The sound of counting along with the sweat dripping down on an exercise mat. "97...98..99..." It was none other than Eren who was doing push-ups in his usual spot nearby the lake, although the system no longer provided any rewards for doing the exercises, he still continued to do them to keep his body in good shape. "100! ah!" Noticing that he had completed doing the exercises Scarlet walked near him with a bottle of water. "Here, Master" "Thank you, Scarlet" Eren took the water bottle, gulping down the water till it was empty. "Master, The hunter License arrived this morning" She said taking the bottle from him. It had already been three days since he took the awakener's exam. The news that the Prospective Son-in-law of the Rozentals broke the record set by their own third son broke the internet!

Eren entered the building after showing his license, several figures recognized Eren and threw their eyes at him."Isn't that the loser of the Rozental family?""Are you really calling him loser after what happened a week ago?""He is a rising star now.."Eren, who did not pay attention to the following chatter, gulped when he saw a glowing blue portal in a circular shape not far from the entrance."So that’s the entrance to the dungeon."The entrance to the dungeon was enough for four or five people to enter with their hands wide open. It was rather bizarre for such a large portal to be in a bustling downtown area.Therefore, it was inevitable to build such a building around the exterior to hide the sense of disparity, regardless of obstructing traffic.It was said that when the portal first opened up on earth monsters came out bustling from them, surprising many people.And the majority of those who entered it out of curiosity about what those creatures are and where they are from n

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?"

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
