LOGIN"Exactly. When I got married, my parents didn't even show up. They said they no longer considered me their son," Alexander said flatly. "So what? I'm the one living the high life now."Remember that upperclassman I mentioned? After I made money, I kept her as my mistress. She practically threw herself at me."Haha! Frustrating, isn't it? You're probably wondering why the universe hasn't punished me yet."Well, you'd be wrong. Guys like me? We're exactly the ones who thrive in a world like this."After the disaster, not only did I survive—I gained superpowers. My wife and son have never known a single day of hardship. They eat meat every damn day."Haha! I've slept with every woman in my neighborhood. Wife, daughter—doesn't matter. If she's pretty, I'm in."Finally, Ray snapped. "You absolute animal!" His fists clenched, trembling with rage. His fury surged past its breaking point.And at that very moment, Alexander's eyes sharpened.Boom.Blood mist exploded from every pore in
'Heh. A college guy hitting up a hotel massage parlor? You're no saint, that's for sure,' Ray scoffed inwardly, completely unmoved. What did any of this have to do with him?"That experience taught me the value of money," Alexander continued. "So after graduation, I moved to Guillory City. With my charm and skills, I landed a spot at a high-tech company pretty fast."Not long after, someone reached out—wanted me to steal the company's research documents. Promised me a serious payday. I thought it over for three days. Then I said yes.""Hah. Still just a backstabbing little rat," Ray muttered the insult under his breath.Alexander held up a hand, calm and unhurried. "That guy came to me a lot. I took plenty of money and sold off mountains of company secrets. The funny part? I knew they'd eventually figure out there was a mole. So while I was stealing, I made sure to plant evidence on a particular colleague."That guy was quiet, kept to himself, didn't fit in. Me? I was the opposite
Alexander's eyes stayed locked on Ray.Then, slowly, a smile crept across his face. "You almost had me. Ray, I may have lied about being a veteran, but I have studied microexpressions. You're trying so hard to look angry, but it's all an act. Your emotions don't line up at all."Even from over two hundred meters away, I can read you perfectly. I can even hear your heartbeat—calm, steady, nothing like the rage you're trying to project. Not a trace of furious pounding."Ray stared at him, genuinely caught off guard. How could a man pushing six-five have that many tricks packed inside his head? Who said he was just some brute?He let out a low chuckle. "You know, it's a shame you never went into acting.""Hahaha!" Alexander laughed loudly, but something flickered in his eyes—hesitation.Attack, or pull back?Truth was, Ray was dangerous. Alexander could feel the shadow of death hanging over him. But that same danger meant opportunity: kill Ray, absorb his abilities, and come out ev
Alexander's eyes locked onto Ray. Even from over two hundred meters away, his features—sharper than any ordinary person's—caught every detail clearly.A slow smile spread across his face. "I didn't expect you'd come here so fast!"He hadn't even finished wiping out everyone in the hive yet.There were still some ability users left—capable of running far in this weather. If they escaped, they could reveal his identity. Any future attempts at maintaining his facade would become difficult.Ray chuckled lightly. "Funny… you look all honest and innocent, but your heart is pure venom."He clicked his tongue in admiration. Alexander had played the role of the harmless big-browed man perfectly—just like Agatha herself. He really knew how to act.Alexander didn't flinch at the mockery. Ray was intentionally provoking him, and both of them could kill in a single strike. Any small lapse could be fatal.Besides, being insulted carried no risk, so he remained calm."Ray," Alexander said, a
In an instant, Alexander's body went rigid, every hair on him standing on end. He immediately abandoned his target and turned to sprint.Boom! Boom! Boom!Alexander unleashed unparalleled speed and strength. Every earthen wall in his path shattered instantly. And the most terrifying part?A dozen walls broke, yet only a single sound echoed.Think about that—how fast must one be to make the destruction of twelve walls sound like just one?Through spatial perception, Ray saw Alexander surge more than seventy meters in an instant.And this was underground, with thick layers of soil and stone blocking his path. To dash that far, that fast… the explosive power of a physical-type ability user was downright insane.Wait, it gets worse. Alexander had likely absorbed Agatha's abilities. His strength must have skyrocketed, and since a physical-type's power comes entirely from their body—cellular enhancement isn't instantaneous—give him a few more days, and he'd grow even stronger.Ray si
Bodies lay scattered everywhere, blood pooling like rivers.Underground, the warmth kept the blood from freezing the way it would on the surface. Even decapitated corpses continued to leak fresh blood into the hive-like tunnels, seeping out in slow, steady streams.Every victim had died the same way—their necks twisted backward until they snapped.Some bodies were already drained of blood, while others still bled freely, suggesting the massacre had either just ended... or was still going on.Which force had broken into Agatha's stronghold?Ray pressed forward.More corpses appeared, and then he finally spotted living humans—and the killer in action.Alexander.That guy with the wide eyes, thick brows, and honest face?Now, looking at him, there was no trace of the naive, simple image he'd projected. Instead, Alexander radiated pure darkness and killing intent. Like a ghost slipping through shadows, he snapped necks with blinding speed, leaving death in his wake.His speed was
Now, all of the Finley family's henchmen were gone, wiped out by Ray. What remained were only the women and the family's direct line—blood relatives.And the only one who could actually pose a threat to him was Silvan.So he had to deal with Silvan first.Once Silvan was dead, the rest could be h
The snow at the villa's entrance had already been cleared, leaving a sloped path wide enough for two people to walk side by side.It wasn't particularly wide, but for Ray—who possessed an otherworldly storage space—it was more than enough.In theory, as long as he could get out, he could take anyt
The boy laughed loudly, his excitement fueled by the suffering of others."Who's going to answer me?" he shouted, pointing at another man.The man stammered, "Our employer's second son is also an ability user.""What's his ability?" the boy asked."I… I really don't know," the man hurriedly said
Ray tried using the new ability on the table.But… it wouldn't cut.Huh. So the upper limit was only something as "soft" as apple flesh?Then what was this ability even good for?Well, it was useful—extremely useful.Because even body‑enhancement ability users, with their tough skin and hardene
