Chapter Seven:
Time passed and night fell. However, even at 11pm, Constantine, who was still in the living room, did not see his aunt coming.
Nor did she contact him at all.
This naturally confused him, making him wonder where she had gone.
He should have already received skills sent from the Ice Queen.
The latter had even written about it in the group chat.
Shouldn't she have asked what happened?
As he kept waiting, he got sleepy and eventually fell asleep in the living room.
From morning until almost 12 at night, he naturally fell asleep so soundly that he lost track of time.
He only woke up when he suddenly heard a DING sound from his system, which instantly made his eyes open, and then saw new information on his virtual screen.
(You gained 100 EXP. You advance to Tier 1. You get 10 Points that you can use to raise your stats, which you are free to choose. Make sure you choose to raise your stats according to the needs of your skill!)
Each skill naturally has one main requirement. For example, releasing an element requires Mana, and skills like swords or spears require Physicality.
Of course, other stats also play a part, either a little or a lot.
Sacred Flame for example, required Mana, but for better control of the fire, high Intelligence was helpful.
On the other hand, Shadow Troopers might be helped more by a higher Will.
Whether Will or Intelligence, he already had them.
With limited Points, he added them all to Mana.
DING!

Instantly, his stats underwent a change.
At the same time, he felt a new sensation in his body. It was very obvious, there was an energy that to him was very mysterious.
So that's it He was automatically made to understand how to use that energy and turn it into his skill.
Only, the Shadow Army Skill did not require any sort of control.
It would automatically create the shadow of the creature he killed.
His eyes then looked at his palm which he raised upwards.
Buzz!
A small fireball appeared above his palm, dazzlingly bright gold in color.
Constantine didn't feel anything when it appeared because it was his own power, but it was obvious that the air inside this mansion was warming up extremely high.
Anyone else who came in would probably sweat immediately.
No wonder the System warned him to be careful with this fire.
It was a very dangerous type.
DING!
(You've added your stats, you're rewarded with a Class D Weapon that you can choose from the list!)
The system gave another notification, and now it displayed a list of weapons after weapons, over a hundred, ranging from swords, spears, and more.
Since they were only in Class D, so their designs were pretty standard, not unique at all. It didn't even have a special name.
Constantine thought for a while before deciding on a knife.
He didn't have a special preference, just liked it more.
DING!
(You get a Class D Knife!)
Another notice appeared a knife appeared right in his hand, dark silver in color, very solid yet light.
It also seemed to have magnets attached to the body, something strange to him.
Weapons and power, I hope there's no fighting, he said with a strange expression.
What he was worried about were gangsters for example, utilizing their power to cause trouble.
Uniquely, the knife can transform into any accessory that he only needs to wear.
All weapons seem to be like that, so it's not hard to carry. He turned it into a ring and put it on his finger.
Constantine Suddenly he heard a female voice from upstairs, much to his surprise.
He quickly looked up only to find Cefraien coming down the stairs.
Next time sleep in your room. We don't have anyone else who can lift your body to the second floor, she said as she got closer, smiling slightly.
Aunt, I thought you weren't coming home, Constantine replied with a wry smile.
Of course, I'll be home,Cefraien replied, sitting across from him
You know, this is very impressive, she said, raising her index finger.
Cold smoke gathered over that finger, forming an ever-changing ice shape, from a sword to a spear but in a small form.
The ice had the color of normal ice.
Only, from the moment it appeared, Constantine felt an intense chill. It was too cold.
However, he was more interested in the expression of his aunt, who seemed to really like the power of the ice.
Congratulations, aunt, Constantine said.
You did something well, the woman replied with a faint smile.
The way she responded really made Constantine unable to understand her way of thinking.
By the way, we'll go to the private base before noon, so there's no need to go to school, she added.
Private base? Constantine was a bit confused at that.
It's a place outside the city but with a very strong defense system, enough to withstand a nuclear explosion no matter how many times it is. Compared to the city, it's much safer and makes it easier for us to kill monsters. Everything has been designed in such a way. Quite a few alliances built it and I also built it with some of my business associates from this city and the surrounding cities.
We need a few days there to build a better foundation so that we can move freely at a faster pace. She explained.
Constantine really didn't know anything like this. The elites were obviously hiding it on purpose.
Then what about your company, aunt? He couldn't help but talk about the company because if she left, it would be without a manager.
From today until the next week, I'm suspending all my employees. This is to avoid chaos, she replied.
It seemed that she was fully prepared.
Constantine naturally had no objection to her plan. He nodded to her.
Vrom!
Suddenly there was the sound of a car from outside.
It's Kimiko Hannah, she's coming, Cefraien said again before Constantine even looked outside.
After that, Cefraien suddenly stood up.
I want to go to the pool and try out my ice powers. You take a shower soon. Later we'll find a restaurant first for breakfast while we look around the city, she added to Constantine before stepping into the back door of the mansion.
Constantine nodded to her, but he didn't get up right away.
He waited for Kimiko Hannah first who went straight into the mansion.
As a secretary, Cefraien gave her more freedom to roam around her residence.
