Betrayal! And Death!?

Lucian smirked. 'If your talents can surprise the world, as a reincarnator, I will shock the world.'

Without hesitation, he spoke. "Status."

Instantly, even he was left speechless.

…

The atmosphere suddenly felt thick and suffocating, as if the news could not be any worse. An F-rank skill!

Lucian's smile froze. He mumbled to himself, "It must be a mistake?"

The whispers started again. This time they weren't nice or joyful; no, they were sharper and carried a cruel edge.

"Such a waste."

"All that potential, for an F-ranker?"

"He always acted so high and mighty."

"Maybe this is karma for his arrogance."

"See, I told you he would awaken a shitty talent!"

Veronica's excited expression crumbled, replaced by a look of confusion.

Chris looked as though he had expected it, and a hidden cold grin slowly crept up on his face.

The joyful cheers that had burst out moments ago were now replaced by mockery and whispers.

Lucian forced a smile on his face as he turned towards his best friend and his girlfriend.

"Looks like you two will be the ones taking care of me. Haha," he joked, his voice lacking its usual confidence.

However, both Veronica and Chris remained silent.

Their concerned expressions from moments ago was suddenly turning quite cold.

"What a waste, Lucian," Veronica finally spoke, her voice as cold as the ice on the tips of her fingers. "Mastering a Ranker skillbook manually had us all, including my father, thinking you had enormous potential. But it seems you were simply lucky."

Lucian's face immediately turned cold, his fingers tracing the tip of his spear as he said,

"Awakened talent doesn't determine one's future. If awakened talent meant everything, then wouldn't we have taken over this world?"

"Even now, you still act arrogant, high and mighty as always," Veronica shook her head, and instantly mana flowed at her command as the water vapor in the air froze, transforming into three icicles the size of a baby's arm that floated in the air before her.

"Can you withstand this attack, Lucian? This is true power—not just words and spineless arrogance."

She met his gaze with her cold eyes, even colder.

Lucian felt his heart drop.

He looked towards Chris, who had an even colder expression on his face, with a malicious smile tugging just at the edge of his lips.

"You know, seeing you so weak and vulnerable is kind of refreshing. Veronica always hated your endless confidence. It's no wonder she comes to me after being done with you."

Chris whispered the last part to make sure only Lucian heard.

Lucian's frown deepened. "You guys are…"

"There's no need to say more pointless words. If you want to join us in clearing the first floor, I don't think you're worthy. Receive one move from me to prove yourself." Chris's grin widened into a sinister smile as his arms moved he didn't even give Lucian the chance to speak when sparks burst forth from midair, developing into a roaring rage of blue flames.

Before Lucian could protest, an endless sea of blue flames shot towards him in an instant.

Lucian's pupils constricted and with practiced movement, he immediately retracted his spear from behind him.

"First Move: Dragon's Roar!"

His spear revolved, and the shaft bent like a dragon about to attack as his spear struck out like the movement of a dragon.

"Roar!"

The sound of a dragon's roar reverberated as the spear moved.

"BOOM!"

The two attacks collided with such massive force that shockwaves blasted those who were nearby.

However, before Lucian could react, a second fireball slipped past the explosion and enveloped him in an instant.

"Ahhhhh!"

A terrifying scream tore through his lungs as he screamed in misery.

A never-before-seen pain racked the entirety of his flesh as a burning sensation filled him to the bones. His hair melted first, then his eyes, flesh, muscles, and veins began to melt also.

"Enter the trial!"

Chris's face changed as he heard these words. Before he could do anything, a blinding light engulfed Lucian, transporting him to the first level of the Galactic Tower.

Tutorial Floor Galactic Tower Lobby.

"You didn't have to do that, Chris."

Veronica's face was expressionless, but there was clear concern in her tone.

"What!? He stole you from me, cheated on you with countless girls, oppressed everyone, forced me to be his best friend, and did things I can't even say! He is the ultimate villain and yet you don't want me to kill him?"

Deep in the forest of the Lobby, Chris roared in rage as he spat out what had been hidden deep in his mind.

"Don't tell me you actually love that son of a bitch?" Chris's face turned cold as he asked.

Veronica shook her head gently. "No. But now that he's escaped, what if he survives?"

Chris snorted. "That's impossible. Not even a Level 3 Super-soldier can withstand my flames, not to mention an ordinary F-ranker."

However, Chris's clenching fist betrayed his concern.

"We need to gather a team of talented people to clear the first floor with us."

"But first…"

Chris's hand grabbed Veronica by the waist and pulled her closer to him. Without hesitation, he started to unbuckle her combat suit.

As though she had expected it, she didn't resist and simply let him.

Her bountiful, milky-white mountains fell out to the open, but Chris merely fondled them for a bit. He wanted the main meal.

He removed her pants and without hesitation, he bent her backwards and plunged forcefully deep inside her.

"Pa!" "Pa!" "Pa!"

The sound of moans and flesh slapping against each other echoed through the forest as birds flew away from the disturbance.
