In the next one week, Kael's investnt bore fruit.
Kael's eyes glimred with excitent.
- Investnt Package: Anonymous CoinLord invests in the "Erebus Arms Digital Weapons Trafficking Startup," which promises a 5x return on investnt within a week.
- Investnt Amount: 700 units of currency (700 USD)
- Projected Return: 2800 units of currency (5x profit)
- Profit: 2100 units of currency.
- Bank Status: Transferred.
Kael actually received the money however he could not pay the system now. So instead, he continued his investnt this ti, paying directly with CoreCoins instead of USD.
The new unit still remains 700 and the projected return is 2800.
Which ans over 2.8 million CoreCoins, not even worth what the system had loaned to him.
Kael smiled.
It would take like 4 weeks or even 3 to earn back the complete 7 million CoreCoins or more so that he could pay back. And as for this 2.8 million USD, Kael smiled darkly and his stance suddenly transford, his deanor changing— so serious, almost as if he's learnt sothing in this long one week of waiting for his investnt to bear fruit.
He realized that he's not the only one with a system—and not the only one killing for Coin. The underground is deeper than he ever imagined. Now, he must not just survive... but dominate. This money he had earned would help him gain so fa and popularity.
Investing had only been his first step into dominating this dark world where people struggle and strive to survive now — he needed to implent the second step and that step is — becoming a known force.
Kael pondered for a while and asked.
"How exactly can I dominate? How can I beco a known force? How can I reinstate my will into the underground world and make them tremble at my feet?"
[I can do that]
Kael chuckled. Of course, that is exactly what the system is here for, to help him grow, to help him dominate and beco number 1.
Kael smiled brightly.
"How much can you do exactly?"
[I can give you an invitation. Not directly, but I can hack into the shadows and pull so strings.]
Kael's smile froze on his face.
"Are you really a system or are you just so supernatural being? Who are you exactly?"
[I'm CoreCoin. Mysteries about would be revealed later in the future. Grappling the weight of my own truth can destroy you completely as of now. Let's focus on what's important — improving you]
Kael was surprised.
However before he could retort, the CoreCoin System shifted another notification in his line of sight...
*
> [New System Access: Coin Syndicate Network]
You are invited to the Shadow Market to register as a Level-1 Licensed Coin Assassin.
Failure to attend within 24 hours will forfeit entry until the next cycle.
[Location: Deep within Nova City's underworld—hidden beneath an abandoned subway station.]

Kael smiled.
Right now, it was burning down hot with the harsh rays of the light so he waited for it to get dark before he went for the so-called registration. Besides, registration of these kinds doesn't happen in the day — it is an underground organization that operates only in the dark night.
So, Kael decided to go get himself sothing nice since he had won himself so millions.
However, his OL-TECH beeped, causing Kael to panic for a mont.
Naturally, he doesn't get calls or ssages, due to how secure and private it is but now, soone seed to have hacked his system and sohow got access to his device.
He walked to the device and picked it up.
"Erebus Arms?"
Kael frowned. "How on earth did they track down my device? Is it possible to use a supercomputer to hack another supercomputer?"
[Safehouse entering Stealth Mode]
The safehouse suddenly disappeared and Kael found himself standing atop a high-rise again.
[Equipping hosts with the best...]
[CoinPants] >> Equipped
[CoreBoots] >> Equipped
[Phantom Edge](Permanent) >> Equipped
[Shadow Mask] >> Equipped
And then, Kael was masked in a strange suit from top to bottom that it is hard to discern his true nature.
The mask had eyes with impenetrable darkness in it and the suit was a resistance to Evil Eyes skills or God Eyes skills — ones that could actually see through armor.
And finally, Kael picked the anonymous caller only to see an embodint of darkness displayed on the screen.
Erebus Arms is just as secretive as Kael is which surprised him.
Then, a baritone echoed after a mont of silence.
"If it isn't the unknown CoinLord."
Kael's stance changed, and he acted unconcerned.
"Speak up, what do you want?"
The person at the other end — or should I say, a swirling mass of black liquid lingered for a while.
Kael was impatient.
"I have rules, Erebus! I dislike the idea of hacking into soone else's device, invading their privacy for no reason at all. Normally, I would usually destroy their organization with a single snap of my finger, but I would not do that— not now."
"Oh Mr CoinLord, it hasn't gotten to that extent. The thing is, Erebus Arms is currently facing threats from several organizations working with it and we are wondering whether to recruit an ambiguous man as yourself."
Kael could sense nervousness in his tone.
"You don't know , Erebus! I might even be one of those threatening your organization — you might not know."
"Oh and, your weapon trafficking startup is an interesting context. I like the feeling."
The mass of swirling black liquid laughed on the screen. "That is exactly why we gave you the best. If you could understand how critical the situation is you'd have to help . That is if you do not want to receive a setback in your current investnt."
The atmosphere suddenly darkened.
"Will it affect my current investnt?"
"Oh yes it will. I might either receive a small profit with an enormous loss or a complete loss, receiving none at all."
Kael's face was pale though it didn't show.
This is exactly what he feared. The first Investnt went well, but the second, the third, the fourth... They all promised sothing different. Kael did not want that.
"What exactly might you need my help with?"
There was a mont of silence and then the voice said, this ti in a whisper.
"Kill The rchandise of Dioleghtans. He's the head and a rchandise of this organization — one of the main threats by the way. I'll give you full details of the old man."
Kael's expression remained dark, only hidden in a fearso mask.
