Later that night, when he heard the snores from the adjacent room, Xin looked over his phone to check this game called Guildbane. He was sitting on the floor with his back against the wall, and the only light was coming from his phone. Xiaxia was telling the truth. Playing this game would yield money, and pro players were more popular than celebrities at this point. He was even amazed that top players earned like a million a month at a minimum! Xin was happy and contented if he could earn…

The shock was an understatement when the cab drove them into the poor area in Zone A. This was where the mass housing was located. Towering apartment buildings stood in rows, tightly packed together, leaving little space to spare. The units were tiny, some measuring just around twenty square meters, and frequently filled with a multitude of people. Now, standing in front of Xin was the very same apartment, a small room permeated with the pungent stench of sweat, decay, cigarettes, and alcohol. The…

Time slipped away like a fleeting dream, and a week had whisked by before he knew it. Xin's therapy had made steady progress, evident in his newfound ability to walk without stumbling, write with steady hands, and speak without the burden of gasping for breath. To Xiaxia, the improvements seemed almost futile. Her brother had always been a man of few words, choosing silence as his preferred companion long before the coma had claimed him. His reserved nature and inscrutable expression had often…

Tubes and wires snaked their way across Xin's body, connecting him to the pulsating rhythm of life-sustaining equipment. The steady symphony of beeps and hums filled the room, merging into an otherworldly melody that reverberated within his consciousness. As he gingerly opened his eyes, a veil of confusion and disorientation shrouded his thoughts. The harsh glare of fluorescent lights pierced his vision. A surge of panic coursed through his veins when he attempted to speak, only to be met with…

Etia stood beside Vance with an angered expression, her eyes flickering with dangerous coldness. However, soon her anger calmed down just a bit enough to allow herself to take a deep breath. "Raven... What do you know about him?" "Raven?" Vance raised a brow and after a moment he waved his hand. Whoosh! With a gentle motion, the pond before both Gods shifted, and in less than a second, the image of a young man with a small mark under his left eye materialized on the water's surface. That young…-

Raven smiled faintly and shifted his gaze at the two individuals before him. "Don't worry, this injury is nothing. It will be gone in a day or two." The young woman, looking at the long wound on Raven's right hand wished to say something, but when her gaze met Raven's she decided to remain silent and just nod. On the other hand, the man shook his head and quickly took out a small card from his pocket. "Still, we can't let you go away with empty hands. Here, this is a VIP card with which you can eat in…

Under the shade of the tree, Raven stood still with a calm gaze, his eyes fixed on the walking people of Black Moon City. Some were walking hurriedly, probably to reach their destination in time, some were just casually strolling, while others were simply enjoying their time together. Everything looked so peaceful that if it were not for some of them having inhuman appearances or simply flying in the air with the help of unique beasts, Raven would have thought in the past three years nothing happened at…

A soft groan escaped Astra's mouth when the sharp blade drilled into her skin, and her eyes trembled fiercely with both fear and shock. "You... Human... Have no idea at all what you are doing." Raven smiled coldly and pushed his dagger a little deeper. "Truly? For me, it is pretty much obvious." "Urgh... Do you even know what consequences you will have to bear for claiming my life? If I were you, I would think twice before acting." "Oh?" Raven raised a brow with amusement and his lips curved even more…

The trip back to Black Moon City was rather smooth and the two met with no problems at all on their way. Naturally, the sight of them carrying a frozen fox attracted many gazes and earned quite a few weird looks from others, but Raven didn't care. On the other hand, what he cared about was something way more important, and that was the way he has just used his Luck Enhancement! He just found a completely new way to utilize his ability, allowing him to manipulate his enemy's moves through chances! The…

With a grim expression, Raven swung his blade without daring to halt even for a second, forcing the black creature to keep her distance away from him. As for his Mystique, in exchange for him using his Void Ring to attack Astra even from several tens of meters as if he was right next to her, it was consumed at a rapid pace every passing second. Luckily, he had long ago deactivated his second Artifact's Domain, or else all of his Mystique would have gotten depleted a very long time ago! 'I need to kill…
