Chapter 29: Quiet moment

Erik emerged from the bathroom after a relaxing shower, with an expression of complete satisfaction.

"Phew... I didn\'t expect a shower to feel so good," he exclaimed as he dried his beautiful white hair.

And one thing he noticed his eyes were now emerald red. He hadn\'t noticed that before. He also noticed that he was now much more handsome than before, but he quickly received a reality check when he remembered that it didn\'t matter how handsome he was. If he couldn\'t enjoy the most important pleasure for any living being...

Procreation!!!

\'Why I was so unlucky to become the Incarnation of the End?\'.

Erik shook his head a little disappointed at not being able to enjoy that supreme pleasure, and opened his status window.

"Status window."

A smile broke out on Erik\'s face as he checked his status in the window. "My stats are rising rapidly, but I feel like I\'m reaching a plateau," he muttered as he realized that although they had risen in a short time, he now felt like he wasn\'t making much progress. He had cleared a low-rank dungeon and had only gone up one level.

\'Well, it looks like it\'s time to upgrade rank, so we can go to mid-rank dungeons.\'

Finishing changing, and closing the status window, he headed to the living room where Violet had already dressed up and was in the kitchen preparing some food. Erik, somewhat embarrassed, sat down on the couch.

"Meow~"

The cat, who was dozing placidly on the furniture, sensing an unfamiliar presence approached the newly-housed Erik.

"Oh, how adorable. Violet, what\'s the cat\'s name?" asked Erik with a smile, petting the beautiful white cat who purred complacently.

Violet looked up and saw Erik petting the cat with a warm smile. "The cat\'s name is Kiara, but be careful, sometimes she bites if you pet her too long," she said in a soft voice, concentrating again on chopping some vegetables.

"Oh, little Kiara, what a beautiful name you have," Erik said, petting her with a warm smile.

"Meow~"

The cat seemed to be enjoying the caresses very much, even getting up on her paws as she meowed contentedly.

In an instant, the atmosphere in the apartment became cozy. Violet was in the kitchen, wearing a warm smile, while Erik petted Kiara, who seemed to be enjoying herself to the fullest.

Violet finished cooking and set the table, while Erik, with a smile on his face, continued to pamper Kiara.

"Erik, the food is ready! Come eat," Violet called from the table.

Erik stopped petting Kiara, who didn\'t seem too happy about being interrupted. "I\'m sorry, little one. I have to go eat, but I\'ll be back later," he murmured softly as he moved away from the furniture.

They sat at the table and began to enjoy their meal in silence until Violet decided to break it.

"What plans do we have for tomorrow, will we do the same as today?" she asked as she took a sip of her juice.

"Hmm... I had considered that we could go update our ranks, but I don\'t know what you think about that," Erik proposed.

Violet\'s expression changed slightly, as she wiped her mouth with a napkin. "Why did you change your mind so quickly? Didn\'t you say that if we did that, we would draw the attention of guilds?" she asked in a serious tone, but with confusion evident on her face. She did not understand this sudden change.

After all, he himself said not to upgrade our rank because we might draw the attention of the Luminis guild, right? In that, he was right, because it was true. But now, he says we have to upgrade our ranks?

Violet was completely puzzled. Should, they upgrade the rank, yes or no? Why the sudden change? She didn\'t understand.

Erik didn\'t answer right away, he remained silent as he chewed and swallowed daintily, clearly, he was enjoying the food very much. "The reason why you suddenly change your decision is because, as you can realize, those mana stones are almost useless to us now that we moved up in rank. And you noticed it firsthand," he explained, taking a sip of juice.

"So, you mean to say that these mana stones are useless? And that if we upgrade our ranks, we can go into a mid-rank dungeon and get D-rank mana stones to ascend faster to C-rank, right? " Violet commented, expressing her understanding.

"Yes, exactly as you say. That\'s why I\'ve changed my mind. If you notice now, we won\'t be prepared enough and besides we have no backup, for obvious reasons," Erik explained, revealing the reason for his regretful change of decision, although the main cause of his change was not that but...

\'When we upgrade our ranks, we\'ll be able to enter mid-rank dungeons and I\'ll be able to level up a bit faster.\'

At this point, Erik wasn\'t so much worried about the looming problem with the Luminis guild, but rather the level of stagnation, which was his priority at the moment. If he didn\'t solve that, he was just left to wait for death to come and knock on his door.

Violet nodded in agreement with what he said but then asked with narrowed eyes. "So why did you refuse to upgrade our ranks at first?" She wanted to know the real reason. Why didn\'t you want to upgrade your rank earlier?

Erik scratched his cheek a little and answered frankly. "This... the reason I didn\'t want to upgrade my rank is because I haven\'t been a hunter for a month since I woke up. Upgrading my rank so quickly would draw too much attention and it\'s something I want to avoid" It was an undeniable truth, and besides he didn\'t expect such a rapid level of stagnation.

He simply wished to get stronger without attracting too much attention from powerful hunters like Leon and others of whom he didn\'t know what their intentions were when they found out how fast he was getting stronger. At the moment, he had no stable support or solid strength, and neither did he want to be subservient to anyone. His nature rejected the idea of being beneath anyone.

"Hmm, now it makes sense that you didn\'t want to upgrade your rank. Then tomorrow we\'ll update our rank right?"

"That\'s right, do you have any other ideas in mind? Because so far I\'ve made most of the decisions and I feel like I\'m... ah, I don\'t know how to put it, but you know what I mean?"

"Yes, I understand what you mean. For now, I have no choice but to listen to you, since you seem to be more rational in this situation than I am."

"I really have no idea how to deal with this or how to look for a solution, as this is The first time I\'ve been faced with something like this," Violet said, shrugging her shoulders.

She had never experienced anything like this before and didn\'t know how to handle it, especially when her enemies were a full guild, with a B-ranked hunter leader.

So, for the time being, follow Erik\'s suggestions, as they seemed to be the best options for the moment and were paying off, as demonstrated by the bag full of E-rank mana stones they had.

And, as they had nothing more important to discuss, they continued to enjoy the meal and from time to time exchanged words to get to know each other a little better.

....

At the top of the Luminis guild, Alexander was tapping the desk impatiently, his brow furrowed. His son still gave no sign.

"Is there any news of my son?" he inquired in an icy voice, causing his secretary to shudder.

"N-No, sir. Still no news of the young master," the secretary replied nervously.

"Tch..."

Alexander snorted in annoyance, frowning even more. He had been unable to fall asleep, worried about his son. Now he was sure something had happened to him; He\'d checked the social networks and his son hadn\'t logged on since his disappearance.

\'And no sign of that supposed girlfriend of his either.\'

"Damn..."

Alexander\'s patience was wearing thin. He couldn\'t be calm when it came to his son. It had been many hours and still no news.

What father wouldn\'t be worried about his beloved son, especially after more than a day without news from him?

Alexander spoke earnestly, "Mario..."

"Yes, my sir," he answered immediately.

"Spread my order to all guild members. I want them to search for my son all over the city. Anyone who does not cooperate will be eliminated. Also, instruct that they may use any means, including resorting to information, interrogation, or any other method necessary to find him," Alexander expressed with an icy stare and a completely unperturbed voice.

"My sir, what happens if the hunters\' association intervenes?" inquired Mario in a low voice.

"I don\'t care if they intervene. They focus solely on finding my son, regardless of the means. If he doesn\'t show up, hire a hacker to track him down," Alexander replied without hesitation.

"And if, unfortunately, your son is dead?", Mario asked cautiously.

"....."

Alexander remained silent. He didn\'t know what he would do if his son was no longer dead, but he was sure he would shake the entire city to find out who was responsible for his death.

"Don\'t ask so many questions, go and relay my order now," he indicated in a calm voice, though his murderous intent emanated from him palpably.

"Understood, sir!"
