The internet had gone wild after the release of the videos from Stark's battles, it wasn't every day that such a high potential prodigy appeared, and even more so when people realized that he was indeed at a very low level compared to the rest of the classifiers present, yet he had managed to conquer the rift first.
And Stark actually kinda wished he had removed that damn mask now, but when he thought about it, he realized that the mystery of him not showing his face was what attracted many people over.
Now it wasn't only average citizens that praised him, but also organizations and guilds that were trying to look for him and hire him.
'No wonder that domination association knew who I was and came to me, huh…'
{No way in hell he is level 25!}
{I'm telling you, it must be a big-shot that's faking his level using the [Level-Bluff] item or a skill!}
{Or maybe it's a powerful talent? After all he came back to LIFE!!}
People were giving their theories over what could be happening, and Stark even saw entire theory videos explaining all of his actions and the possible reason why he came back from the dead after being cut.
Needless to say, all these videos were nonsense, but Stark still laughed at some crazy theories people would come up with.
{Lana Moonless: I'm coming to pick you up tomorrow at 12pm, so be ready!}
{Stark Heartsouls: Okay, see you tomorrow =)}
It had only been one day since he had finished his training and met with those five domination users, and Stark spent the entirety of his small break lazing around in his room.
The hotel staff came to check up on him, and after he paid the 2 million needed for the repair, he was given three days to leave his room as he was "banned" from ever buying a new one in here.
It seemed like saying "some guys intruded my room to kill me" didn't work as an excuse.
Soon enough, Stark fell asleep.
He wasn't nervous about what could happen tomorrow, after all he was just meeting with Lana's family since her father wanted to see him, nothing more, nothing less.
{Lana Moonless: Goodnight, Stark.}
He didn't answer as he was already in the dream realm.

The next day, Stark woke up feeling refreshed, then immediately got ready for the meeting by taking a shower and… dressing up in the most average clothes ever.
'What am I supposed to do? I have nothing else,' he shrugged, and he didn't really feel the need to dress up for a mere meeting, even if it was with the 'Archer King' or whatever his name was.
…
{Lana Moonless: I'm waiting for you, please come down!}
He did as he was told, putting everything that he owned inside of his [Spatial Inventory] and leaving his room for good: he wouldn't come back to it ever again.
Stark made his way down to the lobby, and when he went outside… he was greeted by a luxurious white car straight out of a movie.
People around stopped just to observe the car and its owner, it was obvious that they were dirt rich to be able to afford such a thing.
And as Stark guessed… it was Lana that was currently driving.
He didn't say a word as he approached the car and opened the passenger door next to the driver seat, sitting down next to the blonde-haired girl.
She was currently wearing a beautiful dress, looking both elegant and a bit intimidating at the same time.
"Couldn't have worn better clothes?" she raised her eyebrows while looking him from head to toe, analyzing his appearance.
"Nah, plus I don't really have the money!" he wanted to save cash, and he was content with his four set of clothing as they helped him get through for now, no reason to buy more.
"Sigh…" Lana smiled for a bit as she heard his words, then immediately went back to serious mode when noticing that Stark was looking at her, "It's fine I guess, but please make sure to act well, you'll be meeting my mom, dad, and also my brother…"
"Sureeee… by the way you're 16 and you can drive?" he questioned, they had just graduated from middle school and were all sixteen years old, meaning they weren't real adults.
"I mean… you learn how to drive when you're around 14, it's normal," she responded, "Didn't your parents teach you?"
"…" Stark knew how to drive thanks to his past life, but he was pretty sure the 'Heartsouls' family hadn't even bother to sign him up for driving classes, meaning that he had no driving license, "I guess I do too…"
"See!"
And just like that, the two kept going toward Lana's house.
***
Luxury District, Fellarburg
"Are we there yet?"
"For the hundredth fucking time, Stark, NO WE AREN'T!" Lana shouted before turning her face toward the window, "Oh, we actually are there!"
They were in the luxury district, where all the most important and powerful families of the entirety of Fellarburg resided.
Around them were dozens of mansions, and soon enough… Lana parked in the garden of one of the mansions, ten other cars next to it.
"No space to park…" Lana groaned, and Stark just looked at her with a disgusted look, "W-what?"
"Rich problems," he shrugged as he got off the car.
The mansion before them was nothing short of grandeur with its towering pillars and intricate designs.
At the front of it stood a massive moon that kept flickering, a weird aura around it.
'They realllyyyy want to show people who they are…' but they weren't the only ones as Stark noticed that some other mansions nearby also had text or some sort of sign indicating who they were by the entrance.
"Just a neighbor competition to show who the greatest families are," Lana chuckled.
Fellarburg was one of the greatest countries in this world, not only because there were many powerful families in it, but also since there always seemed to be some sort of rift opening or problem that occurred there: a perfect heaven for all those that sought thrill.
Its population was well over 50 million people, although the overall population of this world was only of 1.2 billion because of the constant chaos and death, as well as the fact the outside world was filled with monsters.
"Let's go, they are waiting in the dining room!" Lana smiled, excited to present him to her family for some reason.
But to be honest, all Stark could think about currently was how familiar this situation was to when he met his family when he first arrived in this world.
Of course, he hadn't known who they were for long, so he didn't care, but it was just weird.
And soon enough… they reached the meeting room.
"Mother, father, Aoki, I'm here!" she called out as she opened the giant wooden door.
And that's when Stark saw them: the members of the 'Moonless' family.
'Hopefully no problems this time…' he sighed as he advanced, revealing himself to the members, who all looked at him in the eyes, different expressions on their faces.
