Chapter 11: Home

Randy took a quick glance at his combat system power levels, and he was shocked to see that he was compatible with almost all of them. One had to know that most awakened humans only had one combat power leveling system and only rare genius had two combat power leveling systems. Although some people can have multiple abilities, usually those abilities had the same source of power or two at most. Randy did not know what to say about what he saw, and he only thought about looking at these things later.

There was also his physique section which was bizarre just by looking at the name next to it. Like what the hell is ‘Myriad Energy Devouring Physique’? Was he going to devour all energy types without any restriction whatsoever? How is that possible? What is his body made up of to be able to withstand such different types of energies? What kind of monster would it take to have this insane ability? Thinking about this, Randy ignored everything else. Right now, he had to get home as soon as possible, and it was not like his status screen was going somewhere; He could just check it again when he gets home and then sort everything out when he does.

‘Anyway, how do I undo this transformation, do I just will it... Oh?’

[Deactivating Assimilated Mode. Returning to human form] A mechanical voice resounded in Randy’s mind.

As Randy was wondering how to undo his transformation, the moment he thought of retaining his human form, he heard a notification ring in his head as he automatically regained his human form with his current long white hair turning back into his short curly blonde hair. His protruding sharp claws also visibly shrunk back to their original form- his neatly cut fingernails.

‘Alright, now that this was sorted out, I need to head home now, I don’t know how much time passed since my bracelet was broken by those bastards, but my parents are probably calling the academy asking for my whereabouts by now. Haa... What do I say? That I was training myself in the training center, but I signed out when I left so that will be... Whatever, I will just have to think of something when I get home.’ Randy sighed as he thought to himself and then...

[Assimilated Mode Partially Activated, Reinforcement and Gale Riding Skill Activated] The mechanical voice announced.

.....

‘Just like I thought, I can partially activate each skill and I don’t have to necessarily be in my werewolf form to use the skills, although, I think... it felts like the ability weakens in this way, but it is just enough, it is not like I am fighting right now or anything.’ Randy thought as he dashed out of the building.

But before leaving the building, he had partially activated both the Reinforcement skill and Gale Riding skill, which were the two of the abilities he had obtained from his assimilated Werewolf King’s Blood.??The reinforcement skill improves all his statistics to an extent and the Gale Riding skill enables him to ‘ride’ the wind; He can use the wind to increase his speed as he runs or make any kind of movement.

...

“Whoosh!”

A figure could be seen dashing from a building as it made its way towards an unknown destination. But the speed at which the figure was moving already surpass that of a normal human. And if someone were to find out the identity of this figure, they would be shocked to find out that it was the same loser who did not have any ability before, but now, he was moving faster than the wind leaving no trails almost as if he was gliding on the surface of the ground.

...

It did not take long for Randy to reach a residence in distance. This was where Randy lived with his parents and siblings. This residence itself was not too big and it was not too small either. It carried a sense of a medieval-style mansion.

Although it may appear to be a mansion, the building had been fortified using complex techniques to ensure that monsters or beasts or whatever creatures that find themselves in this place, would not be able to break through, at least, not easily.

His parents were once prominent hunters who had their fair share of experience, but due to certain events, they decided to retire instead and have a family of their own. This mansion was bought and reconstructed by his parents as no one knew when a rift would suddenly appear in front of their house or perhaps even inside their house if the restrictions get broken through.

“Huu... ”

Randy took a deep breath and then he breathed out as he stood in front of the gate leading into the mansion. There was a fortified gate that stood as tall as about four to five meters of the ground in front of him. This was a contingency plan for the possibility of some monster or beast climbing the walls of their mansion.

After a while, Randy took out a key card from his backpack, and then he proceeded to stare at the monitor next to the gate on his left. This key card was the only way they could open this mansion. If he had somehow lost key card during his encounter with Jeremiah and his goons, then he would have had to stay outside.

The reason for this was the fact there was a security system placed on the walls and if one kept banging on the gates for a while, it would trigger the defense system and they would be electrocuted ruthlessly, and they might end up dying if they were weak creatures or people.

Most houses of prominent families were built like this and as for those families that are truly rich and had immense status, they had more security measures than this. For example, you cannot get a certain distance near their homes without an identification card or key card. The key card or identification card would be scanned using the latest technology from a distance before you can even get close to the building.

Thinking about this, Randy was glad that those bastards did not mess with his stuff, otherwise, he would have had to camp outside until someone actually come out of the mansion before he could get in. Randy walked in front of the monitor as he prepared the lies that he would have to tell his parents, although they were white lies. Randy pressed the key card against the monitor next to the gate and a chime sound was heard as the gate snapped open by itself.

Ting!

Wizz!

After the chime, the two gates opened inwards. Randy took a glance at the inside for a brief moment and then he took in another deep breath and then he breathed out slowly to prepare himself. And after getting himself ready, he proceeded to walk through the gate of the mansion. The moment Randy stepped on the pathway leading to the mansion itself, the guards stationed next to the inner part of the gate noticed his appearance and they were alerted right away as they quickly came over and greeted him.

“Young Master, you are back!” The guards all said to Randy who was startled a little. Although he was used to this treatment, he was too tense today that he had actually forgotten about these guards for a second.

“Hm.” Randy only nodded his head indifferently at the guards as he proceeded to walk towards the three-story mansion in front of him.

As he walked towards the building, the guards started talking behind his back as silhouette disappeared from their view. They had noticed something strange about his behavior today. Usually Randy would not bother to say anything to these guards as they all look down on him for not having awakened his ability, but today, he actually greeted them back which was indeed quite strange for these guards.

“What happened to the usual young master.” One of the guards said to the others.

“I don’t know, but he seemed a little different today.” Another responded.

“I know what you mean. The air around him feels a little different today, no, it was more like he had become a totally different person.” One of the guards said with a pondering look.

“Now that you mention it, I noticed that too. Is it possible... No, that is impossible, he had not been able to do so after so many years now.” One of the guards agreed.

“What do you mean?”

“It was just for a brief moment... perhaps it was my imagination, but I felt a terrifying amount of mana radiating from him just now. So I assumed that he might have awakened his ability, but I highly doubt that...”

“That makes sense, but still, how could a high-ranking hunter like the Angelic Ice Mage produce an offspring that could not even use magic or even awaken to his father’s blood manipulation ability?”

“It’s such a shame. Even the younger brother had already awakened his ability, but the older brother could not. He is indeed the shame of the Smith family.”

While the guards were talking about Randy, he had already made it into the first floor of the mansion, and he was surprised to find out that there was no one in the big living room. Randy let out a sigh of relief when he noticed that his parents might not be home right now, and he proceeded to walk towards the staircase leading to the second floor.

However, before he could even take one step on the stairs, a voice resounded behind him.

“Where were you?!” A cold and angry voice resounded behind Randy, shocking him greatly as he flinched on the spot when he heard the icy voice.

Randy turned around slowly in the direction of the voice. At an unknown time, a figure was standing right behind Randy and the figure was staring at him with a cold expression on their face. Randy knew the identity of this figure; it was without a doubt his own mother.

“M-Mom, I am back...” Randy said in a somewhat weird tone.

However, his mother only looked at him with the same cold expression on her face before saying again, “I said where were you? Why are you only coming home at 10 o’clock in the evening? Do you have any idea how many times I called your bracelet and couldn’t reach you? I even called the academy to inquire about your whereabouts, but they said my son had already left at 7 o’clock, but what time is it now? It had been three hours since you left the academy, yet you only appear now? So what were you doing during this time that it took you three hours to get home instead of half an hour?”

Randy was overwhelmed by the series of questions from his mother. He only stared blankly for a while, not knowing which one of her questions to answer first. Nonetheless, Randy had prepared himself before coming inside the mansion and so, he opened his mouth after a brief moment to narrate his ‘story.’ fre𝑒𝘸𝚎𝚋n૦ѵℯl.c𝒐𝘮

“Mom, I ran into a rift along the way home, and I was not able to come home in time because I was caught up in a fight between two terrifying monsters. I was knocked unconscious at the time and when I came to, the two monsters were nowhere to be found.” Randy briefly said to his mother with a slight frown on his face as if recalling something dreadful, shocking her greatly.

“What?!” A shocked voice resounded loudly on the first floor of the mansion.
