The voice of the system echoed inside Adrian Thorne's mind—
"Opening the Welcome Package…"
"Welcome Package rewards have been unlocked."

➤ Item #5 – Golden Eye of the Spy (Skill)

Then the system's robotic voice continued—
"Host's body is currently unable to bear the full weight of a Divine-grade skill. Therefore, the Golden Eye of the Spy has been temporarily downgraded to Half-Divine."
Adrian's body began to tremble with relief and exhilaration.
Just moments ago, everything had felt hopeless. But now, these rewards had reignited his hope.
He clenched his fists silently.
"I will never be as helpless as I once was. Anyone who underestimates me will live to regret it."
He asked aloud—
"System, what is this Eye of the Spy?"
The system replied—
"Host, this is a scanning skill. You can use it to see another person's status, cultivation level, Fate Points, and other details."
Adrian's gaze hardened.
"If I take the Divine Healing Pill now, will my Dantian be restored immediately?"
The system's voice turned solemn—
"Caution: before consuming the pill, the host should enter the Self-Dimensional Space to avoid any unforeseen incidents."
Adrian's expression grew serious.
"Will the pill have any side effects?"
"No," the system clarified evenly.
"There are no side effects. However, after ingestion, the surrounding energy will become highly unstable. This fluctuation may attract unwanted guests who could harm you. That is why the warning has been issued. Apart from that, the pill will completely heal your Dantian, and the remaining energy will help increase your cultivation base."
Adrian finally exhaled, feeling a measure of relief.
But in the next instant, he remembered—
he still knew almost nothing about this world.
And the woman… who kept calling herself his mother…
He was still gathering his thoughts when—
The door creaked open softly.
Selena Thorne entered the room.
When she saw Adrian awake, she rushed to his side and wrapped her trembling arms around him, her voice breaking—
"My son…you're awake. Why did you get up? Lie down, rest…"
Adrian didn't know what to say.
Before he could react, his eyes suddenly glowed with a golden radiance.
If anyone else had been looking, they would have only seen a flash of blinding light.
But in front of Adrian, a translucent screen appeared—
Status
Name – Selena Thorne
Cultivation Realm – Soul Transcendence Stage 1
Fate Points – 20
Occupation – Housewife / Warrior of the Thorne Clan
Relationship – Mother (10/10)
Scope – Grade A+
With the help of the Golden Eye of the Spy, Adrian Thorne immediately understood—
Selena Thorne really was his mother.
But when he saw Relationship – 10/10 and Scope – Grade C, he frowned slightly in confusion.
He thought—
"What does this 'Scope' mean? What is it measuring? …Never mind. I'll ask the system about it later."
Adrian forced himself to stay calm.
"I have to act completely normal… If anyone even suspects that I'm not really their son— he died and i took over his body—these people will probably end me right here."
In a quiet, uncertain voice, he said—
"Who… are you? Why can't I remember anything?"
Selena's face paled, and she called out in a panicked voice—
"Someone!?"
A maid came running immediately from the doorway.
Selena took a deep, trembling breath and said—
"Go. Bring the doctor here at once—and send word to His Grace Victor that Adrian has regained consciousness!"
The maid bowed low.
"Yes, My Lady!"
She hurried out of the room.
For a few moments, Adrian let his gaze drift slowly across the chamber.
"Am I the heir of some royal family? Or maybe a wealthy noble house? Just from the atmosphere of this place… the decorations… this all looks like a palace…"
His mind was reeling, but he closed his eyes and slowly let out a breath of relief.
"At least this time… I won't have to endure the humiliation of poverty. If only my Dantian can be restored… then no one will be able to stop me…"
He was working hard to keep his face perfectly composed.
Just then, a voice came from the doorway—
"My Lady, may I examine the Young Master?"
The word 'Young Master' made Adrian's heart lurch in his chest.
"So… my status here really is significant…"
He held himself still, carefully keeping any emotion from his features.
Selena gently stepped aside to give the doctor room.
The physician came over, checked Adrian's pulse, and examined the places where the wounds should have been—
and his eyes widened in shock.
"How is this possible…" he thought, nearly reeling.
Yesterday, these wounds had been deep enough to kill any man.
And today… not even a scar remained.
The doctor was still struggling to process it when heavy footsteps sounded from outside the door.
A tall, broad-shouldered man entered the room.
The moment Adrian's gaze met him, that same golden light flared in his eyes—
Status
Name – Victor Thorne
Cultivation Realm – Warlord King Stage 7
