I’ve reached the Advanced rank,\" I muttered as I sank into the euphoric sensation that came with the surge of power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I looked at my hand, opening and closing it several times, carefully sensing the changes in my body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bones, muscles, tendons... everything had become stronger and more flexible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Better yet, I could feel the increase in the amount of essence within me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a thought, I guided the essence through my body at will and activated my ability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I frowned the moment my perception spread through the surrounding area. The information flooding into my mind was denser and far more detailed, causing a mild headache.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I could feel the other people in their rooms—how they moved and what they were doing—in more detail than ever before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Judging the distance my perception reached, I estimated it to be around 350 meters. That meant an increase of 150 meters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I deactivated my ability.\"I need some time to get used to this new range,\" I muttered as I tried something else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Essence flowed through my hand faster and more efficiently than ever before, forming a thin layer around my skin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike the previous times I had done this, it was sturdier and stronger, and it didn’t start breaking apart on its own... even the essence consumption was better.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I focused and tried to condense the essence into a single point in front of my finger.\"This is harder than I expected,\" I muttered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, a glowing sphere about the size of my fingernail formed above my finger. I felt tempted to try firing it inside the room, but quickly dismissed the idea... after all, I didn’t want to ruin my beautiful home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I focused on the compressed essence above my finger and added more to it, slowly shaping it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It almost slipped out of my control and dissipated several times during the process, but in the end, I managed to create what looked like a dagger about twenty centimeters long. Maintaining it consumed a lot of focus and essence, so I let it fade into the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s still not quite like Rank 3,\" I muttered. Then, with a thought, the system screen appeared in front of me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Name:Caius Astroweild\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Age:17\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rank:2\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sub-rank:Advanced\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Abilities:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Soul Eyes]: When activated, you can see and sense the essence and souls of living beings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Sea of Soul]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I stared at the latter carefully. [Sea of Soul]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During the mission in Carthen, when I killed many people at once, I felt a change within myself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was faint and almost unnoticeable... but I was sure of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With every being I killed, I felt something new forming inside me—not on a physical level, but something far deeper than that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With another thought, the system screen disappeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I pushed myself to my feet and walked over to my phone to check the time.1:31 a.m.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I tossed the phone aside and headed to the bathroom, stepping under the shower and turning on the hot water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After finishing my shower, I went straight to my room and threw myself onto the bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a muffled thud, my head sank into the soft, warm pillow, and my thoughts were quickly swallowed by fog.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I felt weak and numb as sleep whispered sweet dreams into my ears... I even forgot to put on any clothes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With what little strength I had left, I rolled over and wrapped myself in the blanket.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As darkness consumed my consciousness, I remembered something stupid... the theoretical exams would begin in just one day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And, well, I wasn’t exactly prepared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So a foolish struggle began in my head—one part of me telling me to forget it and sleep peacefully, while another urged me to get up right now and start studying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The struggle lasted for a while before my mind reached its final decision... ignore it and sleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’d wake up early to study.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So I closed my eyes in peace, like a small child exhausted from playing all day... if we ignore the fact that I hadn’t slept for several days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I opened my eyes in the dark bedroom. With some effort, I looked at the clock on the table beside the bed.2:34 p.m.... pretty early.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Great. I slept for more than twelve hours.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I dragged myself out of bed and turned on the room lights.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After washing up and putting on some clothes, I left my room and headed toward the library... better to start late than not start at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I walked to the elevator, stepped inside, and pressed the button for the lower floor. The dormitory was empty—everyone was probably in class or preparing for the exam.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As I reflected on the poor choices I’d made in life, a faint growl echoed inside the elevator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I looked down at my stomach growling without restraint and placed a hand over it.\"Maybe I should have lunch before going to the library.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, who can focus while hungry?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who am I kidding... I knew this would end up like this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I looked at the clock showing seven in the morning as I put on my academic uniform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yesterday, instead of studying, I wasted time and kept postponing it... not like studying on the last day would change much anyway...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It reminded me of my first life—I always did this... either I studied from the beginning, or not at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In any case, these weren’t the final exams for the semester, so they wouldn’t matter much, and I was sure I could make up for it in the practical exam.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I sighed in front of the mirror before heading out of my residence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When I stepped out and closed the door behind me, I saw a few people in the hallway near the elevator... my classmates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Specifically, Leona and that blonde girl, Talia. The latter looked nervous, holding some papers in her hand and muttering as she tried to memorize their contents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I walked toward them, and as soon as Leona noticed me, she waved.\"Good morning.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I nodded at her.\"Good morning.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the other one, she was still absorbed in her papers. I stepped closer and stood in front of the elevator doors, waiting for them to open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I looked at Leona.\"So, are you ready for the exam?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I looked at her and nodded confidently.\"Of course...\"...of course, ready to fail the exam.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A moment later, the doors opened and we stepped inside. I pressed the button for the ground floor, and the elevator began descending.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>7:55 a.m.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sitting in the lecture hall, I could feel the heavy atmosphere in the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone sat scattered in their seats as silence filled the large hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the front, one of the professors was arranging a stack of papers on his desk while watching the clock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment it neared exactly eight, the papers flew precisely from his hand, heading toward us as if the air itself were carrying them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You have one hour. I’ll be collecting the papers afterward.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I looked at the sheet in front of me, filled with strange formulas I had never seen before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While a single thought echoed in my mind:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m finished.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1195,"2026-06-02T09:38:17.164Z",1,"novelbin.me","432e98f6de35f9bc5fa5a5ab42df94d3ba7969c86c1c9c200b29b1e4ff84adc6","reincarnated-as-the-final-villain-s-vessel-chapter-57","reincarnated-as-the-final-villain-s-vessel-chapter-55",183,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Freincarnated-as-the-final-villain-s-vessel-cover.jpg"]
