Take this sword,\" the man in the passenger seat said, his voice as professional as if he were handing over a pen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In case it charges at the vehicle, you should have a way to at least defend yourself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Trevor took the blade, his fingers curling around its head. He was shocked, but he knew better than to argue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He watched in silence as the two men stepped out of the car. The moment the doors opened, a heavy, suffocating presence descended on the area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the monster felt it; its three eyes widened, and it let out a low, guttural hiss of pure primal fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Trevor whispered to himself, his breath hitching. These men weren’t normal. Their essence had evolved. They were at the Tyrant level of their power journey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back at school, they taught the basics of the power ladder, but seeing it in reality was a different beast entirely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the bottom were the Hollows—the fragile and powerless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then came aweakened, where essence was a flickering, unstable flame.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Above that was the adept, where people like Levi lived—enhancing speed and strength but remaining unrefined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then astral, where the body itself became a reinforced weapon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The, Avatar, came next where essence took a visible, terrifying form.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But these men... they were Tyrants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this level, essence didn’t just empower the user—it imposed itself on the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The very air grew heavy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Movement slowed. Weaker beings instinctively submitted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The driver didn’t waste a second. He unsheathed a blade that hummed with a gleaming glow of essence and stabbed it into the asphalt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ground rippled with such violent force that it dragged the eight-foot monster backward, stumbling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the beast could even draw breath to roar, the second man lunged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His blade slashed through the air with a precision that bordered on the divine. In a matter of seconds, the C-Ranked beast lay lifeless on the road.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Trevor’s mouth nearly hit the floor. The coordination was impeccable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He realized the driver’s essence likely revolved around Earth or Raw Strength, while the second man was a pure Combat Specialist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all they where different combat essence around miss Silvia had the primal tiger essence while Caroline had the raw combat essence\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He calmly returned the sword to the men as they got back in the car.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It felt useless in his hands now—what could he do with a piece of steel when he was sitting behind two living disasters?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ride home was smoother , but Trevor was lost in thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He remembered just a few days ago when an F-Ranked creature had nearly ended him. He shuddered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He needed to get strong and fast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, the car pulled up in front of Trevor’s small, modest apartment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thanked the men, looking at them a bit longer than usual. They were beings capable of erasing him in a fraction of a second, yet they simply bowed with professional grace and drove off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Trevor watched the taillights fade, a firm decision hardening in his mind: One day, I will be stronger than them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that’s thought only kept him wondering even more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’how strong was Vincent roseman’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stepped inside, and almost immediately, a pleasant aroma hit his nose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But unlike yesterday this time his heart sank. He rushed into the sitting room and found Mia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had prepared a beautiful delicacy and was sitting patiently in front of her plate, waiting for him. It was obvious the food had been ready for a while.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Trevor’s heart dropped even more at the sight of her. She looked even more stressed and exhausted than yesterday.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I thought I told you I didn’t want you preparing meals anymore!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Trevor said, his voice rising slightly from a mix of guilt and fear for her health. \"Look at how stressed you look, Mom. This isn’t healthy for you at all!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s quite late, don’t you think?\" Mia said calmly, her voice steady but weary. \"Why are you shouting? Let’s just eat, please.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Trevor felt a pang of regret. He softened his tone, moving closer to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m sorry... but there was cereal, different kinds and flavors. You should have just had some and waited for me. I would have prepared the meal when I got back.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice was now a low whisper, carrying nothing but care and apology.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Look, Trevor, let’s just eat,\" Mia said defensively, meeting his gaze with a look of confusion and a hint of helplessness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is there really such a big problem with me choosing to cook for my son?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Trevor sighed, the sound heavy with a mixture of exhaustion and genuine concern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, Mom, there is a problem. With your current health, it’s just not advisable for you to keep standing over a hot stove,\" Trevor said, his voice dropping into a low, steady tone as he moved closer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stood right beside her chair now, looking down at her with eyes that reflected the weight of the world he was currently navigating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why do you love complaining so much?\" Mia countered immediately. Her voice was sharp, laced with a flicker of resentment that caught Trevor off guard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, I don’t like—\" Trevor started, but Mia cut him off before he could even finish the thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Or is it that you don’t like my food anymore?\" she challenged, her eyes shimmering with a sudden, painful vulnerability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why do you always do this? Have you even considered that maybe... maybe I feel less pain when I’m busy? That preparing this for you makes me feel better than just sitting here waiting?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Trevor paused, the air in the small apartment suddenly feeling as heavy as the essence of the Tyrants he had just left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked deep into Mia’s eyes, seeing the raw, heartfelt complaints pouring out of her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He saw the pride she took in caring for him, even as her body weakened, and the desperation she felt to remain useful in his life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without a word, moved by a sudden, intense surge of emotion and the need to silence the pain between them, Trevor leaned forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a desperate, unforeseen moment, he pulled her into a passionate embrace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Trevor kissed her with a fierce intensity, a silent promise that she truly meant the world to him and that everything he did, every risk he took was for her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first, Mia was frozen in sheer shock, her breath hitching at the suddenness of the gesture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as the warmth of the contact seeped through her, the tension in her shoulders finally snapped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She melted into the kiss, the resentment and exhaustion momentarily forgotten in the overwhelming safety of his presence.\u003C\u002Fp>",1194,"2026-06-06T13:26:52.435Z",1,"novelbin.me","ba5b5bb708b514d7c602970f059296dd4f4420c9fce99edddad5a4a7ca825cac","versatile-system-chapter-53","versatile-system-chapter-51",105,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fversatile-system-cover.jpg"]
