The sun began to rise in the east, its warm light bringing life to every creature in the world.
In his room, rlin slept peacefully—until a beam of light pierced through the window and landed on the right side of his face.
"Ugh..." he groaned softly, pulling the blanket over his head.
But the light had already woken him, and now it was nearly impossible to fall back asleep.
He threw off the blanket and slowly sat up, rubbing his eyes lazily.
"Is it morning already? Feels like I just closed my eyes…"
In his previous world, he often worked overti, so waking up at noon had beco routine. His body had grown used to it without him noticing.
But now, it was impossible. Not that he didn't want to, but he couldn't. As rlin Clay, he couldn't afford to let his guard down—every second had to be used wisely.
After all, his future had been uncertain ever since he took over rlin Clay's body.
"[Good morning, Master! You slept well, right?]"
The system's excited voice echoed in his mind. rlin smiled gently. "Of course, system. I slept well, especially after what happened last night."
Last night, he and Catrine had finally reconciled, and it brought him imnse joy.
The previous two days had been a struggle. He tried repeatedly to get close to the little girl, but Catrine always avoided him and refused to talk.
What happened last night was a gamble—and fortunately, it paid off.
Now, rlin and Catrine were no longer weighed down by awkwardness, and they could interact just like before.
"By the way, system," rlin asked curiously, "how many favorability points does Catrine have for ? Has it reached ninety yet?"
"[Not yet, Master. However, you did sothing great last night. Her favorability has increased to seventy points. Only twenty more points remain for you to complete the mission."]
"So that's it…" rlin nodded lightly, showing no trace of disappointnt.
Instead, he looked happy and relieved. Seventy points was a huge improvent from the zero points he had before.
"How many system points do I have now?"
"[You have two thousand system points, Master. Would you like to open a system shop?"]
"Of course! Open it, system!" rlin rubbed his palms together in excitent.
Ever since last night, he had been eager to explore the system shop and buy so valuable items.
And now, with two thousand points at his disposal—that was a lot for rlin.
"[Ding! The system shop has opened!]"
A notification rang in his mind, and a blue panel appeared.

rlin stared at the system shop's contents, unable to hide his amazent.
'How marvelous! How is it possible for such incredible items to be sold just like this?' He swallowed in amazent.
He had expected the system shop's items to be impressive—but everything was far beyond what he had imagined.
"[Hehehe! It's fun to see you surprised, Master!]" the system said proudly.
rlin chuckled softly, shaking his head. He returned to examining the system shop, then noticed one thing: the items were extrely expensive, especially the limited edition ones.
"System…" His brows furrowed slightly. "Didn't you make a mistake with the prices? Why are they so… high?"
An S-level healing potion was priced at ten thousand system points—five tis the number of points he currently had. And that wasn't even ntioning the other potions, like the Bloodline Generation Potion or the Wind Attribute Potion, which were even more exorbitant.
If he wanted to buy everything… it would be impossible.
"[Master, how can you say that?]" The system pouted. "[The prices are very reasonable. They match the benefits. Take the S-level healing potion, for example: it can cure any disease or curse and even save you from death if taken just before Hades drags you into his world.]"
rlin fell silent at that explanation. The S-level healing potion was indeed extraordinary. As he recalled, in the world of the novel The Lost Hero, healing potions were divided into three main levels: bronze, silver, and gold.
Of course, there was one higher level—the legendary Seven-Color Potion—said to cure all diseases and curses in the world.
Looking at the description of the S-level healing potion, rlin realized it seed identical to the legendary Seven-Color Potion. The most update n0vels are published on novel•fire
"Still…" He let out a small sigh, wearing a sullen expression. "These items are ridiculously expensive. If I want to buy them, I'll have to complete a bunch of other missions, right?"
"[Hmmm… You're right…]" The system paused, thinking deeply. "[In that case, I'll give you a little help.]"
"[Ding! Complete the Awakening Mission today! An additional reward of 20,000 SP will be credited to your account!"]
rlin's eyes widened in shock, his heart racing.
"System… System! Is this for real?"
"[Of course, Master. Are you happy now?]"
"Hahaha!" rlin laughed loudly, jumping to his feet and bouncing up and down. "Of course I'm happy!"
With the system points he would earn, he could buy all sorts of powerful items to support his growth in the future.
Just then, a knock sounded at his door, followed by Maya's anxious voice.
"Young Master, what's going on? Why are you screaming like that? Did you hit your head on the nightstand?"
rlin: "…"
