Chapter 13: Level Up!
Ever Since the Abyssal creatures descended onto earth, they encroached from every direction forcing humanity to its centre.
At this center of the earth was where Humanity's settlement was placed and at the absolute center was EC city, which actually translates to Earth's Center.
Here, one would find the most powerful cultivators of Earth, making this place not only the most secure due to its natural location but also due to the number of strong people who preferred to reside in this place.
Never had this city been breached and it could be said to be the last pillar of Humanity, its destruction signaling its end while its rise is like a burning sun slowly emerging from over the horizon.
A jet entered into EC, after getting scanned by hundreds of different rays of light before finally descending.
Its door slowly opened as gas oozed out from it, and the figure of two blurry humans was soon revealed.
One was a female around 19 years old with long pink hair and a pretty oval face, dressed in a pink colored skirt made of metallic-looking scales with a short top that revealed her arms and part of her stomach while the other was a golden-haired young man, with a diamond-shaped face and elongated jaws, dressed in a black-colored official clothing with the suit on his shoulders.
Immediately on stepping down her private jet, Aurelia looked around the port seemingly searching for something and it didn't take long for her to find it.
Opposite where the jet was parked was a car with the words, Top Nine, written at the place where the car's plate number was supposed to be.
"There it is. We'll be back in the family mansion in less than an hour..." Aurelia said pointing at the pink-coloured car parked in the distance before moving towards it as Khan also followed behind.
A man dressed from head to toe in a suit immediately sighted them as she gave a bow to Aurelia who replied with a nod before he took her luggage and opened the door for her.
As Khan moved forward, the man immediately extended his hand forward blocking him from entering Khan turned to look at the man who slowly turned to look into his eyes, and within three seconds.
Perspirations appeared on the man's head, a clear sign of distress and nervousness, and this caused Khan to give an approving nod.
The majority of the people who sighted him would usually be attracted to him due to his looks and most importantly his mannerisms which have been cultivated to be as nice and easygoing as possible but only a very few would be able to immediately see through him on looking into his eyes. And this man in front of him was part of this rare group which elicited a nod of approval from him.
"He's a friend, Mr.Kenji. Let him in..." Aurelia said from the car as the man slowly shifted to the side and Khan entered into the car.
"Don't mind Old Kenji. He's..."
"It doesn't matter. He's only doing his job and I'll say he's doing quite the good job..." Khan replied looking at the back of the man who started the engine before slowly driving into the distance.
The silence continued for a while as Aurelia closed her eyes reclining on the seat while the so-called Mr Kenji was focused on driving the car although he would at one time or another glimpse through the window to get a sight of him.
"The eyes are windows to the soul..."This is one of Mr.Kenji's quotes and one he had slowly built his skill on over almost 60 years of working as a butler for one of the top families on earth.
He was already a master at his craft, able to pick up on others' thoughts by simply looking into their eyes and managing to predict their next move but when he looked into those piercing golden eyes, perspirations immediately appeared on his face as he sensed absolutely nothing.
His eyes were blank like that of an infant. Normally this was supposed to be a good sign of someone's pureness but taking a good look a the young man's physique, he could immediately tell this was not the body of a monk residing in a cave in the wild and could only mean the young man in front of him had very little emotions and specifically simple reasoning which is a very dangerous and especially rare thing for someone as young as that.
'Activate System interface...' Khan commanded in his head wanting to use the opportunity to check out some strange assignments he got before the fight began but didn't have enough time.

Khan looked at his status wondering which of his attributes he should upgrade but he closed it off as he chose to not use his attributes points yet. The place he was heading to was unknown and this city was entirely alien. Who knew when he might need to increase a particular stat?
"System, what does 20% nanite mean?" Khan asked with a raised eyebrow.
[The host's entire skills and abilities are based on the Nanobots in him, better-called nanites, including even the skills. Therefore, an increase in the quantity of nanites in the host's body is an entire increase in the host's functionality.]
"Oh?" Khan mumbled to himself finally understanding what the word meant but his attention was diverted as the driver turned back his gaze before announcing to them,
"We're here..."
Immediately Khan looked outside and meeting his gaze was a golden coloured gate gate and written at its top was
The Abyssal Cores Guild.
Immediately, the car was scanned and slowly entered the gate followed by a loud announcement that was soon heard throughout the entire area.
[Welcome back home, 2nd Mistress Aurelia...]
