Even the finest hotel would eventually become inconvenient if he lived there permanently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since this was his first day in Kronoria, Rei still chose to stay at the best hotel in the city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The person who decided to stay in the hotel alongside him was Luluvi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Luluvi, you don’t have a house in Kronoria either?\" Rei asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ve always lived in the City of the Circle. Why would I have property in Kronoria?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During their journey to Kronoria, Luluvi had earned a considerable fortune.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Much of it was thanks to Rei’s dungeon sacrifices, which allowed Luluvi to profit enormously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh. Then tomorrow we should go look at houses together.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There wasn’t much need to be overly selective.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had more than enough money—if they saw something they liked, they could simply buy several properties outright.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking about it carefully...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were indeed many things waiting for him in Kronoria.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today alone he needed to visit the Special Occupation Registration Office to obtain a Death Priest amnesty permit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then would he legally be allowed to possess the Death Priest class.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After that, he would also need to visit the Mage Association.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During the journey, Rei had carefully weighed the pros and cons and concluded that joining the Mage Association was necessary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would allow him to:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Borrow the Mage Association’s spellbooks\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Access their libraries\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Share in their research results\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Iz had also joined the Mage Association, which proved it wasn’t some exploitative organization.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, enjoying those conveniences came with certain obligations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Members had to make contributions to the association.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rei had already done the calculations and found the requirements quite manageable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within a certain time limit, he could:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Publish a completely new self-created spell, or\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Submit a valuable research paper concerning the Source, or\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Turn in valuable magical artifacts, or\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simply donate money\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>None of these were particularly difficult.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you going to the Cavern of Despairing Wails?\" Luluvi asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dungeon lay not far from Kronoria.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After resting for a while, Iz and the others planned to depart and explore it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rei nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m thinking about it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two chatted casually in the hallway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’d like to see what a Tier-6 dungeon looks like,\" Rei continued. \"And I’ve never seen Iz and the others fight at full strength.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luluvi raised an eyebrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re only Level 3 right now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rei tilted his head slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is that not enough?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luluvi couldn’t refute that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rei’s current strength allowed him to kill Tier-5 nation-destroying monsters with relative ease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In terms of true combat capability, he was probably already at the peak of Level 5, hovering at the blurry boundary separating him from Level 6 adventurers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At Tier 6, there were no ordinary monsters anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At minimum, every creature was Lord-class.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After discussing their plans for a while, they returned to their rooms to rest briefly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not long afterward, Rei left the hotel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Special Occupation Registration Office\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Holding a map of Kronoria in his hand, Rei looked up at the building before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the Special Occupation Registration Office.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once he registered the Death Priest class here, he would legally be allowed to possess it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Standing beside him was Iz.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s go,\" Iz said calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"With me here, they shouldn’t give you any trouble.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rei nodded and walked toward the entrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The office building looked old and somewhat dilapidated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On both sides of the hallway stood several people who appeared distinctly unpleasant, glaring directly at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At their waists hung large metal badges displaying their occupations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Class: Level 1 Thief]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Class: Level 1 Assassin]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Class: Level 1 Instigator]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Class: Level 1 Thief]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These were all special occupations that were not normally permitted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What were they doing gathered here?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If registering allowed them to act freely and legally, there shouldn’t be so many of them congregated here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And besides—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Did they really have to wear those badges openly?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were far too conspicuous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rei silently recorded these details in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had a faint feeling that something about this place wasn’t quite right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They passed through two massive iron doors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The material looked unusual—extremely sturdy—and Rei could sense anti-magic properties emanating from it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tier-5 anti-magic reinforcement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would have little effect on Tier-6 magic, but it was still formidable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rei arrived at the registration desk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m here to register a special occupation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re Lu—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The clerk stopped himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re Rei, correct?\" said the old man behind the desk. His sharp eyes scanned him carefully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The king has already informed us about you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fill out this form and answer a few questions. After that, you’ll legally possess the Death Priest class.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rei accepted the form.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Glancing over it, he noticed a large number of deeply personal questions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do I have to fill out everything?\" he asked calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man opened his mouth as if preparing to reprimand him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then his gaze shifted toward the mage standing beside Rei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Ahem.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just fill in whatever you think is appropriate.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rei clearly saw the change in attitude.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Iz weren’t standing here, they would probably have tried to bully him outright.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not that Rei intended to tolerate that anyway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But being challenged and not being challenged were fundamentally different experiences.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without hesitation, Rei filled in only the information he deemed appropriate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All the questions involving personal privacy—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He ignored completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the old man received the nearly blank sheet of paper, his expression stiffened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked as if he wanted to explode in anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But seeing Iz standing nearby, he swallowed the frustration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was obvious—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He very much wanted to show off his authority.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he was also clearly wary of Iz Parult.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he fears Iz... but not me?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fine,\" the old man muttered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He accepted the form and pulled out a black-gold token engraved with the character:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Possessing this token means your Death Priest identity has been officially recognized.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rei accepted the token.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He handed it to Iz for inspection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After confirming there were no hidden enchantments or restrictions, Iz returned it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mm. No problems.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The holder of this token must keep it worn at all times—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crackle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A faint spark of electricity flickered across the surface of the desk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Iz smiled gently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There shouldn’t be anything else we need to pay attention to... right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"N... no. Nothing else.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed that Iz wasn’t entirely someone who followed rules either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rei and Iz left the registration office together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well,\" Rei said, \"they didn’t make things difficult for us.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They were testing my attitude toward you,\" Iz replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you were merely my ordinary student, their behavior might have been completely different.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rei nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could clearly see that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s go,\" Iz continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We’ll visit the royal palace.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s been quite a while since I’ve seen that old man.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Iz stepped forward—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And space itself folded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In less than a second, they appeared inside a magnificent golden hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every pillar in the chamber was embedded with brilliant magical gemstones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ivan!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ve come to see you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Iz Parult’s voice echoed through the palace like thunder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every person in the hall turned instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swish!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The surrounding royal mage guards raised their staffs in unison, pointing them toward Iz.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Iz paid them no attention whatsoever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze focused solely on the muscular man reclining on the throne while a maid fed him peeled grapes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Iz... it’s been a long time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I already heard you entered the city. I was wondering when you’d come.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Or if you wouldn’t come at all.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man on the throne waved his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that signal, the mage guards lowered their staffs and returned to their posts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As you can see, Loren continues to prosper under my rule.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Have you finally decided to join Loren Kingdom?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You only need to say the word. If you join us, you’ll become my equal—a co-ruling king, sharing my authority and wealth.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Iz shook his head calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ivan, you know I’m not interested in that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re not interested?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The king smiled faintly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But what about your little disciple?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ve already heard about his achievements.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He defeated Luluvi, a Level-3 Source Mage.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He cleared 100 floors of the War God Tower, achieved 500 consecutive wins in the combat arena, and apparently even holds a warrior class.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And his mastery of that warrior class... seems rather impressive.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The king’s gaze shifted from Iz to Rei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rei met his eyes calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ivan felt a hint of surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’s not intimidated?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Interesting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Boy,\" the king said with a grin, \"how is the Void Spirit Starwood working for you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rei replied openly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s very useful. Thank you, Your Majesty.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haha. You’re using one of Loren’s national treasures, yet you have no other thoughts about it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Iz Parult refuses to join my kingdom because of his personal principles.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But you’re different.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You could join Loren.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We won’t restrict your freedom.

approached Rei from either side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was indeed a tremendous temptation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rei glanced at Iz.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Iz’s voice sounded directly in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don’t worry about me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I refuse Loren simply because I don’t wish to join a human kingdom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if these things are useful to you, negotiate with him yourself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Iz then interrupted the king.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ivan.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How is An Zheng doing now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ivan shrugged casually.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How else?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not much time left.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If he doesn’t break through, he dies.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Judging from his current condition... he probably won’t last much longer.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you want to see him...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ivan gestured behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The door behind my throne leads to him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rei was slightly startled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The legendary Level-8 mage was actually inside this city right now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ll go see An Zheng first,\" Iz said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You should be able to handle things here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, Iz disappeared instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rei suddenly felt the weight of every gaze in the room shifting toward him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Iz...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m really not fond of being stared at like this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The conditions Ivan offered were undeniably tempting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Safety first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was a principle Rei constantly reminded himself of.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since he was operating within Loren’s territory, possessing a high-ranking Loren identity would make everything much more convenient.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, becoming a citizen of Loren wasn’t shameful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kumironi was born and raised here, yet she never felt the need to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For someone like Rei, a wandering outsider—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having a country to settle in didn’t seem so bad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So?\" Ivan asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What do you think of the offer I proposed?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you have other requests, feel free to name them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Our Loren Kingdom is always in need of talents like you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rei asked seriously:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Would I be required to participate in wars?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you don’t wish to, then no.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But if Loren faces a crisis threatening its survival, I hope you would help if needed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Loren is a nation that reveres magic.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Many magical tomes here cannot be found anywhere else.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Even Iz Parult covets our royal archives.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"These texts are passed down only among Royal Chief Mages.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And there are many secret magical mysteries never revealed to outsiders.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You would only gain access after joining Loren.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ivan continued painting an enticing picture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rei couldn’t deny it—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The benefits were extremely generous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was especially interested in the royal secret collections.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, with such a vast royal family...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they didn’t possess some hidden treasures, it would almost be unbelievable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you agree to join Loren,\" Ivan declared,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"the position of Royal Chief Mage will be
