UNDERLEVELED

Chapter 103

"Ugh..."

Sonaya opened her eyes but couldn't picture the things around with her blurry vision.

"What happened? Why am I here?"

She did recognize the hospital ceiling of Rainsleif. Averus, who was right in front of her, pointed at someone parallel to her bed.

"You're not alone."

The unconscious Capricorn was also lying on another bed. Since then, Averus told her everything that had happened.

Sonaya couldn't understand the conclusion.

"Averus, don't you think Goddess Irelia and Master Haymitch planned something else for this Tower other than amassing an army to kill monsters to maintain peace."

"I... do not know."

KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK!

Not expecting any visitors, the woman rushed to her door and opened it.

"Who's the—"

But she was stunned upon seeing her son, Spencer, standing up in front of their doorstep.

"Hi... mom."

"Are you still trying to learn the forbidden techniques?"

Spencer paused for a moment.

"Yes..."

His mother let of a noticeable sigh.

"I knew you would. I always warned you how it would kill you one day, just like what it did to your Uncle. You're father's no different. He's so obsessed about Caruso's death that he no longer cared for us. Those forbidden abilities were the root of all these. We should never try to become Paragons."

Spencer preserved his silence.

"Your father is not here. He's probably somewhere, desperately looking for clues about your Uncle's death again. I'm not proud of what you're doing, Spencer. But I'm happy you're alive... and safe... and healthy."

Her mother immediately slammed the door shut!

BANG!

Spencer spontaneously backed away. He quietly turned around with a sad face and began walking away.

CREAK!

But her mother opened the door once again with a green sword in her hand.

"M-Mom..."

"Yes, that's his sword since your father is never home anyway. I won't support you and your dangerous endeavors. No mother would support their child to their death. But since I can't stop you, just try to protect yourself, don't you think? Take the sword."

Spencer smiled as he received his father's sword.

In the real world, Kane was sitting on one of their chairs in the Chickenfighter donned in his VR set. The VR Visor was still on his forehead instead of his eyes, looking at a picture inside his wallet.

It was a High School Picture of Kane beside his friends such as Ethan Song and Joshua Lee.

"Joshua... who the fuck uses their friend's real name as their Game ID? You have no originality, dumbass. Ugh, anyway, did you know about an Overseer class? What does this do?"

He scratched his head as he talked to the slightly crumpled photo.

"I still can't believe I got a UNIQUE class. It was even higher than the Goblin Form's EPIC Alchemist Class."
