"Hmm, good. Well, I expected that much."
He checked the newly acquired skills.
[Paperman Talisman Substitution Technique - A Paperman can substitute the host’s body with a paperman if activated exactly one second before an attack reaches the host.]
He smiled despite the difficulty. If he mastered it, won’t he have another life-saving skill!
Then he reviewed the newly bought techniques.
[Deity Devouring Demonic Arts -
[First came the First Humans, created by chaos and creation god themselves. To learn about themselves, they gave birth to seven children, each embodying a different human characteristic.
Pride. Greed. Lust. Envy. Gluttony. Wrath. Sloth.
Deity Devouring Demonic Arts is an art blessed by the sins of Greed, Gluttony, and Wrath themselves.
-Host can slowly devour anyone’s soul with just physical contact of more than two seconds.
-Host can absorb essence from anything—artifacts, pills, elixirs, humans, animals, plants.
-Host will directly absorb the soul of anyone killed by them. No need to collect souls separately.
Soul absorption has been increased by 50%.
This technique allows absorption of life force, origin essence, or only cultivation level without killing strong fighters.]

[New Technique: Zenith Heaven Asura-Slaying Sword Dance
Once used by the Immortal Emperor of another world, this technique has found its second user.
This is not a technique, but a battle form. A sword dance which aids in killing opponents. This technique has no forms. It is simply a sword dance created to assist existing techniques and create deadly skills.]
He sighed.
’Another technique with no foundation. Well, it’s good enough for now.’
His consciousness was coming back. His real body was being woken up by someone.
Cale opened his eyes.
He was in an unfamiliar room. It was a few hours past midnight. The lights were on.
He saw a figure and his face immediately soured.
"Why is it you? Where are the women!"
Silvester laughed. "I brought some food and there you go arguing. Should I leave?"
’Did he come here right after sensing I’m awake? Damn monster! What kind of senses does he have!’
"Sigh, just give it here."
Silvester sat on a chair, looking at Cale strangely.
"Who the hell are you?"
Cale smirked. "If that was the skit, you should’ve done it from the start. I know you can identify me easily."
"Tsk!"
"So, why do you look like... this?"
Silvester stroked his small beard, his eyes narrowing.
’Sigh, what do I tell him now?’
"Um... well, you know. I chanced upon an opportunity and obtained a mysterious physique. Something like that."
Silvester’s eyes narrowed further.
"Chanced upon it, you say? You know how many people who have ’chanced upon’ things that I’ve met?"
Cale raised an eyebrow.
"Zero!" Silvester answered. "Most either die or get a few weapons. Even those tomb raiders only come back with decent things. And you—you just got a complete body transformation? That girl even said you got wings? What now? Which race even has wings? Have you become a freaking angel?"
"Calm down, Sir Silvester. You’re drooling..."
It wasn’t that Silvester was angry.
He was just jealous.
Despite thousands of missions, he’d never seen rewards this good. And the kid in front of him got it in his first year?
"Hmph, it seems even lady luck favors the rich!"
’This tsundere old man. Sigh... why is everyone around me like this?’
"So Mr. Prince Consort, what are your future plans? I can easily guess it’s you, but what about the others?"
Silvester said it with a mischievous look.
"Hmm? Prince Consort? Who...?"
Silvester laughed. "Haha, it seems you didn’t read any newspapers during your time away. Your families have already decided your fiancée."
Cale’s face went pale.
’So that’s why Rexa isn’t here. Phew, no wait—before that!’
Silvester smiled again. "Good luck on your next life, since she might kill you the second she sees your complete body transformation. Keke."
"She won’t kill me. Right? While we did have our differences... um, I guess she has all the reason to kill me. Damn! I need to run away from here! Old man, help me out. I fucking completed that entire martial technique you were researching on!"
"Heh, what can I do? This is your problem to deal with. Well, leave that. Who were the people who attacked you?"
Cale replied, "Hm? Didn’t she tell you? They’re from—"
"Other continent? I know that. But why target you? I guess the nation’s going to be in quite the turmoil."
Although he was saying that, Cale could actually read his real emotions.
"You... damn old man, you’re getting excited by this!"
"Heh, aren’t you the same? We’re cut from the same cloth. But still, a clan with ’Celestial’ as their title—either it’s just a showoff, or they do have a big legacy."
Cale sighed. "Who knows? Maybe they do actually have one."
’...They do indeed.’
Silvester narrowed his eyes.
"You sure know a lot about outsiders."
"W-well... I, right! I’m from a ducal family. Such people visit me from time to time to ask for my father’s support."
"Hmmm? Is that so?"
’Fuck, he isn’t believing that crap.’
"Well, I’ll go by your words for now. I think I’ll soon be called to the capital."
After that, Silvester left.
Cale sighed.
"He isn’t going to the capital soon anyways."
Then a new quest appeared.
[Quest: Sign in at the Maleficent Realm.

’Guess... I have to do this, huh? Who wouldn’t want a free flame.’
