Ethan exhaled sharply, frustration simmering beneath his skin.
His system was a scammer.
Ten million karmic points for a single skill? Ridiculous.
[The Mind is a fragile and complex subject, Host. Anything related to it is expensive.]
‘What grade is this skill?’
[S-grade, Host.]
‘Will it protect me from everything I’ll have to endure?’
[Yes.]
Ethan clenched his jaw.
At this rate, his dream of awakening his bloodline was slipping further away.
And worse—
He had promised his family resources superior to those of a Stage 1 True Dragon God.
Damn it.
Me and my big mouth.
Now, he had to make good on that promise.
He sighed.
First, let’s finish this trial.
‘Buy it, you scammer.’
A small, unexpected sound echoed.
Eh.
Ethan froze.
Did ... someone just “eh” at me?
[Yes, Host.]
...
[Ding! You have purchased Mind Prison (S-grade).]
Mind Prison (Passive - S-Grade)
A passive skill that allows you to create a prison within your mind to store unwanted memories. You may unlock and access them at will.
...
As soon as the notification appeared, Ethan understood the skill.
That was the benefit of buying from the system—instant comprehension.
All that was left was training and getting used to it.
He pushed himself up, exhaling deeply.
“Now, I’m ready.”
His gaze flickered to the girl.
Ethan took slow steps forward but stopped five meters away from her.
... Yes, he was afraid.
Who wouldn’t be?
They were talking about a damn angel.
There were no records of angels in the Tower’s library or anywhere he had studied.
And yet, here she was.
He crouched. His voice was quiet but firm.
“Do you want to be saved?”
The girl responded instantly.
Her voice trembled—not with fear, but with urgency.
Her bleeding golden eyes locked onto his.
“Can you do it?”
Ethan met her gaze.
“I believe I can.”
She moved.
Fast.
In the blink of an eye, she was in front of him.
Her tiny hands clutched his arms.
Desperate.
“Can you really? Can you really?”
And then—
Her next words froze him in place.
“Can you really kill me and end my nightmare?”
“I want to join my father and mother.”
Silence.
Ethan’s breath hitched.
His heart pounded.
His lips parted, but no words came.
Because when he looked into her eyes...
He saw grief.
Despair.
A soul crushed beyond recognition.
To her, salvation meant death.
Not a second chance.
An end.
Something inside Ethan twisted.
His chest ached in a way it never had before.
But even so—
He forced a smile.
His Aura of Devotion surged, wrapping around her like a warm light.
“No.”
His voice was soft but unshakable.
“Not death. I want to save you by giving you another chance at life.”
The girl tilted her head.
She didn’t understand.
How?
How could she possibly have another life?
But then—
