Ranking System

[Charles POV]

Reina called earlier and found the location of Jared. I didn't expect him to be on the battlefield already.

I had read my reports on him. He is the bane for all magic users. Principal Eryn is getting bashed. All his attacks were useless. I don't think he could take it much longer.

Assisting Principal Eryn, I summoned a monster from hell. No one except for a few people knew my actual ability.

Since that was the case, I made a horrible monster underneath Jared. I summoned a monster with a red fleshy body that was mind-numbing. It had one eye and was seriously disgusting to look at.

Opening its insanely largemouth from underneath, It took a bite of Jared's legs. The sight was gruesome, and Jared could not react to such a thing.

He screamed in horror, feeling the pain. My monster had disappeared after taking off the legs of Jared. People with weak hearts had either pissed off their pants or fainted in terror.

Eryn knew that I had assisted him. He used the chance to eliminate Jared once and for all. The fight between the Renegades and people from the academy was coming to a close.

Once Jared was dead, the underlings from the Renegades began to retreat. Eryn, the ruthless man he is, had ordered everyone to kill all the men in the field.

One more person left to deal with was Juan, the organization's leader. I found him ages ago but decided to deal with him last.

He was sitting in a treasury room. I knew that he wanted to communicate with me. I'll hear what he had to say. I have plans for him, after all.

[Eryn POV]

I was panting from how tiring the fight was. Mana resistance was a skill that was troublesome for me to deal with.

Jared had eyes of despair. Once his legs were gone, I took the chance to make an ice needle using most of my mana to penetrate his brain.

Stories of Charles being able to summon monsters from hell were true. Seeing them in sight was terrifying. As terrifying as it may seem, it has helped most of us here.

"Everyone! Don't let them escape! Kill them!"

None of these people deserve to live. They're the bane of society. Many people's lives were lost and ruined.

With this fight over, we would have to explore the whole place. There were rumors of slaves being circulated, and dealing with them would be our priority.

[Charles POV]

Juan sat down on an enclosed box. I was now in the treasury room alone with Juan. He knew that I would come and sat down to wait for me.

"Is there something you wanted to say to me?"

"I have many things to say to you."

Was he trying to act mysterious? I don't know if he realized it, but it made him look pretentious. The only reason why I'm letting him say something is because of our background.

"Then what do you want to say?"

"Why are you working for this world? With so much power, you could obtain anything you want."

"..."

"With your power, why do you work for the IUC?"

"You should know how we feel. No one here will understand us. So why do you work for them? They're only using you for your power!"

What Juan said was true. There was no reason for me to be under anyone. I wasn't so stupid to believe in everyone. However, the IUC was special. Anyone with a bit of brain could understand that. The IUC has connections to people from other worlds, and I want to be part of that.

"Your parents, peers, and everyone doesn't deserve you!"

Juan's words became more of a blank. What he said to me had entered from one side and exited from the other. I understood what he wanted. However, I had no interest in doing so.

"The people at the top are corrupted, and it needs to be changed."

"That's why Charles! Join me! And we could make a change to this shitty society!"

Juan had miscalculated who I was. I'm a man who is greedy for power. He doesn't understand this. My actions may be naive, but it was also the quickest way to gain power.

I had a way out of all my problems. I don't need to look at the consequences. When the time is right, they won't be able to harm me.

"Juan, I think you misunderstood me. I didn't choose to work under anybody. I'm just biding time. I may be strong, but I'm not invincible."

[Skill Requirement Unlocked]

[The World's Evil: Rank EX (Level: ?)] Any evil within the world will be your power source. You'll be prone to negative thoughts the more evil power you absorb. Any power that contains some evil or adverse effects within will be empowered.

[Skill Level Up]

[Target Of Misfortune is now at the seventh level]

[Target Of Misfortune: Rank EX (Level: 7)]: This allows the skill to cause misfortune upon the desired user. It can't be removed unless the caster allows it to do so. It could only be used if the target is within 50000 kilometers of you.

My past will never disappear. All the pain I had suffered will remain. My hatred for people will always remain.

Even with my power, I know that I'm not invincible. That's why I need more time. With each time, I will gain more power.

When I get enough power, I will end the contract I have with Linsey. Cyrus would be my only competitor, but that old man will retire soon.

I then looked at Juan. He felt immense fear toward me. His body was unconsciously shaking, and his eye was bulging.

"Monster..."

Did he feel the new power I had received? It was good that only he felt it. I had turned off my power to keep it a secret.

"Juan, from now on, you're my puppet."
