When the stars began to glimmer in the sky, and the street market started to bustle, Philip could be seen fully clothed in Raven form, running. Philip carefully scanned the crowd and slipped out of Bryxton City, timing his actions to avoid detection from Evans' men. It was only when he reached a nearby small town that he stopped running. He breathed a sigh of relief and shortly continued his way forward. After a while, Philip emerged from the shadow, his fingernails were covered with soil and…-

What is it like to have an increase of 15 to your Physique? This was the question Philip had been wondering ever since he upgraded his Physique impulsively in the past. He wanted to know what benefits it brought to his strength and stamina. It was only when he was on the run for one week and experimented his newfound body that he realized how important each Stat point is. In Raven's form, he had always been at the top with his initial 30 Physique and was the strongest and the fastest among the…

"Let's start the oral examination." The students around instantly became tense. They unanimously bowed their heads to their books, trying not to make eye contact with the professor. Philip was confused about the strange and suffocating atmosphere. As he had no idea of what was about to occur. 'What is an oral examination? And why do they look afraid of the professor?' He then glanced at Miss Leffindor, 'Yes. She's kinda scary but is it enough for them…' Philip stopped. No. More like he was…

The next day, Philip could be seen walking under the morning sun. His steps were steady and composed while wearing a brown school sack coat with inner white long sleeves paired with brown slacks. He also wore a black tie and pinned on his chest was an insignia of Bryxton University. His face wasn't the usual Raven he was using. Instead, it was now the face of a youthful 20-year-old man with delicate features and a mole on his cheeks. Philip was now in the form of Conrad, the same man whose family…

Silence enveloped the third floor. Philip and Maris were both looking at each other for a long time. While it was unknown what Maris was feeling, Philip's heart was thumping extremely fast from apprehension. 'What to do?' He mulled while his gaze remained fixed on Maris. Never did he expect her to wait at his doorway. He was lost on what to do. 'Should I just upgrade my uniqueness? No, it is too late. She has already seen me.' Philip immediately thought of his next course of action. He did not…

Ting! ______________ Reward: 10 Experience points Reward: ??? ______________ Aside from the quest, Philip had no reason to intervene. Helping them take revenge was not an easy task. He could not just waltz around and help them only with the system telling him. He had to prioritize his safety first and lie low until he could find a suitable identity to copy. 'Well, even without me, surely someone will stop them, right?' He thought while looking at the people gathering around.…

Gerald gasped as he looked at the piles of banknotes in Philip's hands. It was his first time seeing such an amount in his whole life. He had been living in the streets for as long as he could remember. The only thing he could touch was the pennies he had stolen. It was not that he felt joy from stealing. In truth, he felt remorseful. But the more he succumbed to temptation, the more he suppressed his guilt. He had no choice as he had no family to support him. It was either he died as a good…

'Good thing they allowed taking out leftovers,' Philip sighed in relief as he glanced at the bag in his hands. However, although he felt relieved, his eyes still had a slight annoyance in them. He still could not move on from what had happened. But soon, he quickly calmed down his mind upon remembering his initial goal. 'I have two hours left before the transformation ends. Better do good deed quests…' It was already 8 o'clock and Philip decided to look for quests before returning to the inn. He…

"Hello. Do you need help?" The young girl turned to face the voice, clearly taken aback by the unexpected offer. Her eyes were filled with confusion and innocence as though not accustomed to receiving such kindness from strangers. Noticing the girl's reaction, Philip could not help but smile. He had always had a soft spot for children, especially those who started working at a young age. Having been in a similar situation in his previous life, he could empathize with her struggles and hardships.…

In truth, Philip had already read the letters. After all, it has been a week since he left the village. However, he was still taken aback by his parents' origin and found himself repeatedly drawn to the written letters they left behind. He was unable to resist immersing himself in their words time and time again. Written in his mother's letter were her greetings for his eighth birthday and an apology for her not telling the truth until now. 'Sorry for concealing our identities from you. Our…
