It was 6 A.M. in the morning when Alyssa opened her eyes. Strangely, it was the first ti she did not have her nightmares.
She felt refreshed, but her mory was cloudy.
As sunlight ca into the room, she found it hard to open her eyes completely, but after rubbing them a few tis, she looked around and saw Asher, who was sleeping peacefully.
Seeing him, the mories of the ti they had spent in the Dungeon and how she had made it out alive ca rushing in.
She imdiately looked at her arms and saw they still looked pale.
"Haah," she breathed in relief.
She hadn't thought about it at the ti, but if the doctor had noticed her disguise and found out that she was fine, many problems would have co her way.
She raised her body to sit on the bed, and the sound woke up the young man sleeping on the chair in her room.
Asher slowly opened his eyes as he saw a familiar face in front of him.
"I didn't an to wake you up," Alyssa said as she noticed that Asher was awake.
"It's fine," Asher stretched his neck.
"Do you have my spatial ring?" Alyssa asked Asher.
"Yeah," Asher took out the ring from his pocket.
Although you could store lifeless things inside the spatial rings, living things and other items with similar functions could not be stored inside them.
"I have the boss monster's corpse and the artifact in this ring," Alyssa said.
"Give them to after you're discharged from here," Asher handed her the ring and stood up, getting ready to leave.
There were no other words exchanged between the two of them, unlike normal people who would have said so stuff, made so jokes, or had a light talk with each other after such an experience.
Alyssa looked at Asher's back as he left, and a thought ca to her mind, but she let it go. Her eyes drifted to the ceiling as she got lost in her thoughts.
***************
It was early morning, but many students could be seen here and there.
Many students noticed Asher as he walked towards the Rankers Dorm. The dical block was in a common area that linked various sections in the huge World Academy, so it was obvious that people would notice Asher.
Many eyes stared at him. Various rumors and his recent incident with Professor Erwin were still sothing many students liked to gossip about.
Taking the exchange portal, Asher arrived at the Ranker's dorm and went to his floor, which was soon about to change.
He decided to take a quick shower, and coming out of the shower, he went straight to the ditation room.
"System," he called out as he had not received any notifications from the system until now.
[ Host has crossed Level 20 ]
[ Amount of Authority increases ]
Seeing this particular notification intrigued Asher.
"What was that dungeon defect?" Asher started with the first question in his mind.
[ It's a result of your Curse ]
[ But Host does not need to worry about it for now ]
"How so?" Asher asked.
[ Even if you're cursed right now, it is not possible for Destiny to intervene so directly like this ti ]
[ According to my calculation, it will take a year or more for such a thing to happen again ]
"Weird," Asher thought it was sowhat strange.
Even if it was a C Rank Dungeon, was destiny so weak that only this much intervention would harm it?
[ You could learn more if you cross the next threshold, which is Level 40 ]
[ But you have gained one of the features this ti as well ]
[ It is an authority that you should have gotten around Level 50, but you have gained it early. ]
[ To unlock it completely, you need to cross Level 30. ]
Right now, there was sothing that the system didn't ntion, and that was the appearance of the S Rank Boss monster, and that was one of the reasons it revealed itself.
It was still not clear what exactly the system was and what its true form was.
[ But Host can look at the status screen to learn a bit about it. ]
"Status," Asher said, as he wanted to look at his status for now.

"Beast?" Asher asked the system.
[ Think of it as a reward from the system. Right now, your current authority is too low to know more about it. ]
It was confusing, but none of the things that had happened until now made sense. Like the bloodline ability he got, the skills, and many more things. But a beast was sothing that he was looking forward to seeing.
In the history of humanity, there were no cases of humans having monstrous beasts as pets. There were still a few animals that did not form a mana core and were seen as normal. That included cats, birds, dogs, etc.
Apart from such harmless animals, most of the animals would evolve with mana to beco a Rank G beast and higher. And taming them was impossible.
*Ping*
A notification on his phone caught Asher's attention as he saw a ssage from Tom Gylip.
It was a short ssage, but it was a bit of a setback to his plans. But he had expected so changes, and it was not too bad for now.
Asher replied for Tom to wait for now; it would be soon that he would be able to leave the World Academy. He had already solved the biggest issue that was hindering him from leaving the World Academy, and that was Alyssa.
She was not soone who needed his protection, but now that she was cured, it gave Asher more ti to spend outside the World Academy.
A couple of other notifications caught his attention, but he had received them at least 6 hours ago.
