[Congratulations Awakener Ethan Smith for getting!]
[Map of Safety X1]
[Elixir of Life]
[Awakening Crystal x1]
"This is!"
Staring at the screen in shock, Ethan had a guess, but he couldn’t be sure until he checked the descriptions.
Fortunately, the awakener system was quite decent in that aspect.
Focusing his mind on each item, they began to expand revealing their various properties.
[Map of Safety: by injecting mental energy or mana into it, it can show the location of hostile entities in a five-kilometer radius]
[Elixir of Life: born from the extreme concentration of nature energy and mana, all injuries and sicknesses can be healed by taking this]
[Awakening crystal: a rare item found between heaven and earth that can allow regular people to awaken abilities.
The path of evolution begins with one crystal!]
Reading these three items, Ethan finally knew what the awakeners in his past life meant when they said the blind boxes contained what they needed.
"Firstly with this map of Safety, I can better plan my movement when the apocalypse descends considering most cities would be overrun with all kinds of monsters and mutant beasts."
"The Elixir of Life, which can heal my current injuries and the awakening crystal although I can’t use it since the description says it helps ordinary people."
"But for my next plan, this will be more than helpful."
Thus although ten days had already gone by and a lot of plans were messed up.
Ethan had already begun to think of another set of plans.
Taking a glance at the door where Elena had left, he could sense a faint presence standing guard.
’Hmm~’
’If nothing else that should either be the security assigned by grandfather to watch over me, or a nurse.’
’Either way, I’m going to need their help next.’
Thinking this, he took a deep breath and began channeling his inner voice.
"Hey! Nurse! Or Security outside!"
"Call Grandfather and tell him and send for Elena too!" he shouted, a sly expression flashing through his eyes.
At first, before coming to his grandpa’s birthday he had wondered how to make his grandpa believe an apocalypse was coming.
Fortunately, with the appearance of Marcus, he didn’t have much convincing to do.
"Plus with this elixir, once I heal myself in front of him and Elena I think that should be more than enough."
Muttering this, Ethan looked at the door sensing the person standing in front had left after hearing his shout.
"Don’t worry Elena, I never planned to carry everything alone."
"In this life, not only will I rise to the top, but the whole Smith family as a whole will!"
...
[Smith Family Mansion]
[Main Study]
Time goes back a few minutes, and while Ethan was checking up on his rewards, Christian and Alfred were in the study alone.
Their eyes stared at a stack of documents with gloom.
"Alfred, is this information true?"
"If it is, how the hell have we not heard anything about this before!"
’Boom!’
Slamming his fist on his desk, Christian’s old face couldn’t help but wrinkle as he scanned the documents one more time.
"Suspected supernatural being attacks the Blue House."
"The Pentagon raided by groups of supernatural humans."
"The Eagle Country captures supernatural young girl after losing thirty soldiers."
Reading the headlines one by one, Christian even began to wonder if he was living in some kind of story.
"And the craziest part of all this is that it all started happening within the last month."
"According to the records here, more and more of such incidents are becoming more common."
"At this rate, before the new year comes a minor incident just like ten days ago might happen again!"
As he thought of this, Christian was lost.
Despite having lived for seventy years, fought in the army, and funded various wars.
He even put many modern-day politicians in positions of power.
In his life, he could be said to have done everything and anything.
But now that his end was drawing near, the world had suddenly handed him once again a situation he had never experienced.
However, despite the loss and confusion on his face, a part deep within him was also excited.
In his whole life, he had always come up against odds, he had overcome the impossible and improbable and that’s what made the Smith family as legendary as it is today.
In that case, even if these so-called superhumans existed, then it was up to him to overcome them once again.
And as if sensing his master’s excitement, Alfred who stood beside him as always couldn’t help but smile.
"Indeed Master, after checking with various of our intelligence agencies these are all true."
"Even though the various countries are trying to hide it and figure out the source of these superhumans, their existence is a reality."
"People who can summon flames, turn invisible, and even one particular young man who can control shadows in the kimchi country."
"Master perhaps a new era has begun to settle upon us."
Adjusting his glasses, Alfred was also surprised at first just like Christian he doubted the authenticity of the report files.
However, after he saw the video of a young man in the kimchi country leading ten shadow soldiers to defeat a group of police officers.
Alfred knew it was all real.
’Knock’ ’knock’ ’knock’
Just as they both were in shock trying to plan their best on how to deal with this new era.
A knock came from the outside door, interrupting their train of thought.
"Who is it? Didn’t the master specifically request no one disturb him unless an emergency?"
Alfred yelled; indeed Christian had given this order to prevent the situation from being leaked to ordinary people in the family to avoid panic.
However, why was someone suddenly breaking the order?
Did what happened ten days ago make them lose respect for the Smith family?
Thinking of this, Alfred’s eyes couldn’t help but turn dangerous.
If that was the case then he would have to order the clean-up of that disrespectful fellow.
As for Christian he just stared at the door with interest as if thinking of something interesting.
’Could it be?’ he thought.
"Good day, Master Christian, head butler Alfred."
"My name is Jonathan the security in charge of guarding the young master."
"The young master is awake and wishes to see both you and Miss Elena."
