"Noooooo!"
A horrifying scream came from a room. It was the only room in a small house.
So, the scream startled everyone in the vicinity, but there were only a few individuals and houses around.
Knock! Knock!
Only a few seconds later, two people started knocking on the door.
At this moment, even Eon realized he might have reacted too much.
He controlled his body and slowly walked out of bed. Except for a flawlessly good face, he looked no different than his real body.
If there was a tier of handsome, that previous body was on the third tier, while this one was on the fifth tier.
And, the fifth tier was the highest tier.
He opened the door and saw two young men in front of him.
"Eon, are you alright? Why did you scream?" One of them asked, expressing some concern in his voice.
It only took Eon a moment to recognize the identity of these young men.
"I'm fine, Max. You know about my recent accident. I accidentally reopened my wounds."
Eon made an excuse. It wasn't exactly an excuse, considering he was almost dead due to that accident.
"Next time, don't try to find your way into the dungeon by yourself! I know you want to get stronger than Paul, but that guy has awakened B-Rank Ability."
"You only have D-Rank Ability. You shouldn't try to take risks like that."
The young man next to him spoke.
Hearing that, Eon nodded and sighed.
"Nick, you are wrong about one thing. If I don't take risks, I will never be able to fulfill my ambition."
His words instantly made those two speechless.
Nick stared at him for a moment and said.
"Dude, do you not realize you are only suitable to be a gigolo?"
Hearing that, Eon rolled his eyes.
'Of course, I know that. Why do you think I screamed? I escaped that world so that I could find a new and adventurous life, only to realize this guy was the next-level simp.'
'But this is also good. With his reputation as a god-level simp, I will not have to worry about going into dangerous dungeons.'
'After all, this is a guy who almost lost all of his wealth, trying to court ten women at the same time.'
'Unfortunately, he got looks but no talent.'
Just the thought of those memories made him feel miserable. If he was newly reborn person, he would've been excited.
Those women still had contact with him. He could get them at any moment as long as he could earn some money.
After all, he came in relationship with those women purely out of the merit of his face.
If he wanted to get them back, this face wasn't enough.
"Look, Eon! We know your dream; everybody in the academy knows about your dream. You are the most shameless bastard in the academy."
"But even you should realize that you have already squandered all of your family's wealth. Our world revolves around power and money."
"Just look at Paul! Even though he is one of the ugliest guys in the academy, he can still bang women because of his B-rank talent."
"You are not HIM."
Max punched him on the chest and said.
"But you are still our friend. We don't want to see you in a coffin next time."
Hearing that, Eon smiled. He didn't just smile. He laughed and pulled Max and Nick into his arms.
"Thank you, guys!"
'Thank you for reminding me how it feels to have friends.'
"Come on, you are embarrassing me."
Nick couldn't help but get flustered as he pushed back Eon.
On the other hand, Max waved his hand and said.
"You should get some rest. Next week will be our last week in the academy. We will be given a chance to enter the Tower of Infinite Heaven."
"If you want to get stronger, this might be your only chance."
Hearing that, Eon nodded his head with a serious expression.
After they left, he closed the door and walked back to his room. He looked at the wall and saw the photo of his parents.
Unlike previously, his parents from this world died five years ago. From his memories, Eon could tell they were extremely good parents.
In fact, his dream to create a Grand Harem was his father's old dream. When he was small, his father used to tell him stories of his childhood.
Through that, he learned how his father wanted to marry multiple women, but when he fell in love with his mother, he forgot about that dream.
Eon told him that a son should carry his father's dream and often joked about it.
After the loss of his parents, that joke was the only thing that kept him motivated.
Strictly speaking, Eon in this world didn't even want to live.
He just missed his parents so much that he wanted to use that ridiculous goal of his to continue living.
That slowly turned into his obsession, and he paid for it with his life.
To earn some Mana Crystals and get laid with some women, he chose to enter a dungeon by himself.
Normally, dungeons were connected to the Tower of Infinite Heaven. It was a gigantic tower that contained several worlds on each floor.
But what made this tower special was its direct connection to the outside world. The creatures from the tower could escape the tower through each floor.
By creating a portal, they would escape the tower. But to maintain the portal, they needed to create a safe environment.
That's how dungeons were born.
Dungeons were often not regulated because every human had the responsibility to clear the dungeon.
If they couldn't do it in time, the dungeons would directly turn into the town or city of invaders.
So, when he went inside those dungeons, Eon almost lost his life.
If it wasn't for a kind-hearted man who also entered that dungeon, he would've died there.
To be exact, he did die there, but under that kind of situation, even after his rebirth, Eon wouldn't be able to survive.
So for Eon, that man was simply a lifesaver.
Unfortunately, that man didn't even leave behind his name.
"No matter what, I have a legitimate reason to risk my life."
"Speaking of risk, this world is quite interesting. A world invaded by a Tower and an extraterrestrial race."
"This is basically an apocalypse, right? But humans actually managed to survive."
"They didn't even lose more than a few million people. But one thing is quite interesting, it has been six hundred years since that invasion."
"Even though this world is similar to the modern world, its technology hasn't evolved after the invasion."
"I have to say, when humans get involved with supernatural abilities, they forget about technology."
"But I could be wrong. Eon doesn't have that many memories of advanced technology, but isn't Space Folding Technology advanced enough?"
Eon slapped himself on the head. When he remembered that, he couldn't help but feel that his brain wasn't working properly.
"No, I am not having some kind of brain damage. Dude, your fridge, TV, phone, car, and laptop are all normal, but you also have Spatial Rings."
"What is this? Combination of cultivation system and new technology?"
"Then again, this world doesn't have a cultivation system. Instead, their power system is highly connected to the Abilities and Mana Crystals."
"Special Guardian Force, aka SGF, a special force created by the International Government to regulate the flow of ability users into the TIH."
Thinking about it, he walked up to his table, where he had two purple diamond-shaped crystals.
As he held these crystals, he felt a strange energy penetrating his body.
But with his acute senses, he realized eighty percent of the energy coming out of the crystal wasn't being absorbed by his body.
This was basically the talent in his previous world.
If someone with B-Rank Ability absorbed the mana crystal, their bodies would absorb at least fifty percent of the mana.
Then, their abilities would grow stronger. The strength of the ability had no classification.
Instead, the way a person's strength was determined was through their ability to clear the dungeon.
S, A, B, C, D, and E
Each letter represented a certain rank, with S being the highest and E being the lowest. This same for abilities.
S-rank ability could absorb one hundred percent of the mana, while E-rank ability could only absorb ten percent.
As he absorbed the mana into his body, he realized how abilities worked and how they were strengthened.
Imagine the ability as a seed. By infusing mana into it, the seed would grow into a tree.
The potential of the seed was determined from one's birth, but the strength of the tree was determined by its growth.
That seed was located just above his stomach, but it existed within a soul space.
A strange place connected to his soul.
As purple crystals turned white, he muttered.
"Although not as strong as the warlock system, this power holds a lot of potential. Even in this world, I possess the ability of Void."
