Twelve midnight, at Gaia Building where A-1 of third-year students reside.

Inside an ostentatious room, a man was seating on a ladderback chair on the balcony, showing the privileges that A-1 students have from first to third year, as well as, daughters and sons of the tycoons in the 'Player' industry.

The man asked the woman, sitting across him while his feet were placed on the empty brown table.

"Haven't they come back yet? That matter should only take a while…"

The woman with blood-colored eyes and red hair replied with a tone of amusement, "They're dead."

The man with blonde hair and reddish eyes who cannot process what he just heard, asked again the woman to make sure he hadn't heard wrong.

"What did you just say, Ruina?"

Ruina, the woman with blood-colored eyes, frowned at the question, and just replied monotonously.

"Your goons were dead, Rein."

"Hahahahahahaha! HAHAHAHAHAHA!"

The man, Reinhardt laughed as if he found her words a joke, and told her his thoughts.

"Didn't you just say earlier that he's an F rank? You know very well that he's a trash among trashes."

"Yes, based on what I saw on his Status Window, he's merely an F rank. Why don't you consider his relationship with Samantha whatever it is? Maybe he got some shadows protecting him without his knowledge."

She replied while a maidservant serving Reinhardt brought some Obel Wine; a wine famous for its origin which is the Oli fruit from the country 'Etheria'.

Reinhardt who put down his feet from the table, took the glass of wine as the maidservant left knowing her place, and drank a mouthful of it before looking at Ruina with a cold expression.

"You better choose your words."

Ruina just shrugged his words, and also took a sip of the Obel Wine, not minding whatever Reinhardt said.

'I need to entice Samantha… or else my Father's plan will go awry…' he thought as he remembered his father's words.

'Rein, you must bring Samantha to our side… and we will use her against her father.'

After a few seconds of silence, Ruina spoke, "Well, there's always a next time…"

After deliberating for some time, Reinhardt asked a question, "Was your skill also monitors the target's vital status?"

Before Reinhardt commanded the three goons, Ruina used a skill on them that will let her track their location, though, with her words about the goons' deaths, Rein came up with the idea that it was more than just a tracking skill.

"Yes, Red Thread (B+) is that kind of skill, aside from being considered as a tracking skill, it's more like a psyche-type skill as I could feel their emotions, thus if it vanished, it could only mean two things, they're either dead, or the skill was dispelled. The former was more like the case for your goons, if they have done their jobs, they should probably be here earlier than now."

'She has a point, but why would a mere F rank get the attention of Samantha?'

He questioned while he gritted his teeth, and unconsciously clenched his fists as he put down the glass with the Obel Wine then he looked at the starry night sky with a bluish moon emanating its light, covering the land.

Room 393, Russell Moon's Dorm, Andromeda Building.

Russell couldn't help but felt nauseous at the sight of a headless body, a body that was thrust by a blade of the Scythe weapon, and a man who bled to death with his feet mutilated by Ceru, the Chaos Slime.

"What a mess…" he muttered in the quiet dorm.

Thankfully, the dorm was quite spacious regarding not being an A-1 student, though its looks right now was a bloody one, and a total mess, as he fought the three intruders, he heard various System notifications, but he didn't have the leisure to check them that time as it would be considered detrimental to him, but now, with some leeway, and unconcerned Russell, he checked the stream of System messages.

[Your Trait: Nihility has completely concealed your Chaos Aura]

Based on his understanding, the weapons and armor he acquired from the Ancient Treasure Chest that the Goddess of Night has given him exude 'Chaos Aura' continuously, but as he checked the messages from the System, he found something new to his sight…

[Your Trait: Nihility has completely concealed the sounds of your surroundings]

'This trait is a mysterious one, but I should probably study how it totally works' he said inwardly, not knowing what he should make of it, but inside he was grateful that he hadn't caused a commotion.

"Now, what should I do with this mess?"

As he asked that question in the air, he looked at Ceru from the side where the man who bled to death was lying, and Russell almost puke as he saw Ceru looking at him as if awaiting for its master's order. With that, he remembered the unique skill that Ceru have…

'Predation!'

"Ceru, I don't know about your Predation skill, but could you clean the mess?"

Ceru, the Chaos Slime, who bounces slowly proceeded with the order as if it had been waiting for it for quite some time.

[Your Summon: 'Ceru' has used the Unique Skill: Predation]

Contrary to Russell's expectation of what Predation looked like, Ceru's mouth became open wide revealing its shark-like teeth, and a black hole-like throat that does not contain any light, then it sucked the three dead bodies, including the blood as if it became its beverage.

'I just it could only be used in the dead bodies…' Russell thought, managing himself from throwing up from the bloody sight.

[Due to the effects of the Skill: Predation, Ceru has gained 2 Strength stat]

[Due to the effects of the Skill: Predation, Ceru has gained 3 Agility stat]

[Due to the effects of the Skill: Predation, Ceru has gained 5 Agility stat]

The System messages reminded Russell of one of the effects of the Unique Skill: Predation.

"I guess the 1 percent chance to gain a skill was too much…"

[The items belonging to the human named: Rad Collins have been transferred to your inventory.]

[The items belonging to the human named: Dan Oliver have been transferred to your inventory.]

[The items belonging to the human named: Murock Smith have been transferred to your inventory.]

'Oh, I forgot about this… the System was designed in a way where the items inside the Dimensional Inventory would be transferred to the person who killed another…]

As he checked the items he got from killing the three intruders named Rad, Dan, and Murock, which was called the 'Boss' by the other two, a smile formed on his face as he thought…

'The best part in killing someone… is the loot!' he said inwardly as he continued on his various thoughts after he organized the messy dorm that got cleaned up by an alien slime.

'At least in this kind of world.'

Room 26, Freya Moon's Dormitory, Rigel Building.

Laying on her bed, Freya thought about what happened tonight, especially her classmate who approached his older brother…

'Not just any classmate, but she's the daughter of the number 1 'Player' in the human domain… Also, the strange thing was that it happened this same day as Oppa told us earlier that we can at least befriend one of them… Was it a coincidence? I'll ask Oppa about that soon…'

As her thoughts gradually relaxed, she proceeded to sleep, expecting something for tomorrow's suspended class.

Room 27, Amery Blight's Dormitory, Rigel Building

A room with almost no exquisite design, matching the atmosphere of the one who resides within, Amery Blight who was sitting on the side of her bed, looking outside the window thought to herself…

'I need to be stronger…'

As she was thinking about various things, she took a glass of alcoholic wine that was placed on her desk beside the bed and took a sip of it.

"Russell Moon…" she muttered the name of someone who was disrupting her thoughts lately though unintentional to the other party as she found him mysterious, and she felt that he was hiding many secrets.

Room 31, Amelie Rose Merveil's Dormitory, Rigel Building

A room with an exquisite design meant for a woman, matching the person's personality and atmosphere… at least on the outside…

Amelie Rose, who was sitting on a couch with her feet on it, has her face covered with her knees as she hugged them and a sob was heard inside the room with no one aside from her.

As someone who was thrown away from her home for quite a long time ago, she lived alone and fed herself with the profit she got from her work.

'I don't want to live like this anymore…', she thought, lamenting about her situation that she found unfair even though she managed to pass and enrolled in the Obelisk Academy.

Her tears flowed down from her face, sliding down from her thighs, reaching the ground, then for a few seconds… her tears crystallized making teardrop shapes, but with black color.

[A certain Constellation is looking at you.]
