"I'm not planning anything, what do you want," Darius asked as he stared at Jezebel. The woman huffed.
"Your father wants you to join us for breakfast and what's with the glasses?"
"None of your business," Darius replied. He immediately slammed the door on his stepmother's face then he opened the door again.
"I'll be downstairs in five minutes," Darius stated then he slammed the door to his stepmother's face again.
According to the former owner's memories, he used to eat breakfast with his family every morning but it was always chaotic.
He glanced at himself in front of the mirror one last time before going downstairs to eat dinner with his family.
"Good morning father," Darius greeted the moment he settled on a seat next to his father. They had all begun to eat.
His father raised his head and stared at him for a minute.
Over his father's head the word 'ELITE RANK 12" was written boldly. Darius frowned, no wonder the aura around his father was a bit oppressive, that man is powerful.
He knew about the ranks so he knew that a rank 12 individual was a very powerful being.
"Something about you has changed," His father suddenly said, Darius didn't change his expression lest he arouse his father's suspicion.
He knew that his father wouldn't do anything to him if he found out he had gained a little power but it was better to be safe than sorry.
He might be able level up or have any system to help him but he had a book which would help him level up in his own way.
"What do you mean Father?"Darius asked as he ate pasta, "Nothing about me changed?"
His father stared at him for a moment then went back to eating. Darius sighed, probably because he was a martial novice but he could clearly feel the aura around his father.
"I hope both of you are practicing for the next exam to Lunatris Academy, I will be there and you better not let me lose face," His father said without raising up his head.
"Of course I am Father, I feel like I will soon level up to rank 4 unlike a certain someone," Rook said as he gazed at Darius.
Darius didn't reply, retorting that his statement would simply be a waste of his precious time.
When Rook noticed that the person he was talking to didn't pay him attention, he snorted then continued eating. No one said anything after.
Darius spent the rest of his days eating, sleeping and cultivating.

Darius gazed at the gigantic gate of Lunatris Academy through the window of the car. He did not expect that the gate of Lunatris Academy was made of pure gold.
He wondered, weren't they worried that someone was going to steal it but then again no one in their right senses dared steal from this academy.
The driver drove past numerous buildings and then stopped in front of a large hall. He could see many drivers dropping off influential families here.
He and his family got out of the car, and a tall man with white hair walked up to them with an amicable smile.
"Mr. Winslow," the man greeted, "it's a pleasure to have you here,"
"It's a pleaure to see you here to Professor Kelios," Darius father greeted with a small smile.
Darius checked the man's power only to see that the man was a Labourer Rank 12.
"These are my sons, they will be taking the assessment exam," Darius's father said. The Professor stared at Darius for a second but Darius could sense hidden scorn from the eyes of the professor. The professor's eyes lingered on Rook, he stared at Rook with a smile.
Darius lips curved into a smirk but it was gone as soon as it came, it was obvious that the man looked down on him and that was exactly what darius wanted.
He didn't want anyone to know that he was stronger than his former self
After days of meditating, Darius had somehow broken through to the 1st tier of the Martial Warrior realm.
He knew his strength couldn't take people that were from influential familes but atleast it was enough to survive this comptition.
"Don't worry, once he passes I will take him under me," Professor Kelios said with a smile.
Rook grinned while Darius's father frowned.
Unknowingly, Professor Kelios had offended Mr. Winslow by emphasizing that the person who he think would pass would only be Rook and not two of his sons but that would be a discussion for another day.
"The two of you should go there to participate in the assessment," Porfessor kelios said, he didn't even cast his gaze at Darius once.
Darius didn't blame him though, rumors had spread about how weak he was, even he himself did not know how he got the qualification to move on to the second assessment after the former body owner got beaten to a pulp.
Darius immediately left to where the professor had pointed to, he didn't care if Rook was behind him or not.
Various people lined up so he joined the line. A gurad asked for the acceptance letter to participate in the sceond entrance exam which had been sent to him. After he provided the letter to the guard, they would give him a wooden token then he was let in into a hall.
When he entered the hall, he noticed that the people in the hall were over 900 people and most people hadn't arrived yet.
Most of them had already formed groups and he was one of the few people who stood alone.
As far as he knew a total of 2100 students would be taking this exam and only 300 would pass. He stared at the cameras on the roof.
Dain had already told him the basics of the second entrance exam, according to him, Lunatris cademy never changed the exam procedure so basically everyone knew.
They would all be teleported to a forest and the mission was basically to snatch seven people's wooden token and submit it after the time was up. Basically, they had three days to complete this.
If anyone had already acquired 7 but before the competition was over, it has already been snatched away then basically such individual did not pass.
They also had multiple cameras which would display everything to people in the other side of the hall. Basically every powerful individual-including his own father- would be watching.
He didn't know how it worked but basically three days in the forest was equivalent to 12 hours here.
"What the fuck is he doing here?"
