House Kaslana, one of the three houses that is the pillar of Schicksal. An Anti-Honkai Organization that had been led by the House Apocalypse for the past few centuries.
2
The House Kaslana held the role of Knight within Schicksal. The descendants of House Kaslana were often born with excellent resistance against the Honkai and innate talent for combat. Most of their members always ended up becoming prominent warriors against Honkai. They are also always easy to identify as they always have the distinct trait of white hair and blue eyes.
Adam Kaslana was one of them but unlike them, he is an odd one. His skin always looked sickly pale and his body was frail like twigs. He didn't have the talent nor interest in combat like any normal Kaslana and that caused him to be an outcast in the Kaslana House and eventually exiled from the family because he was thought to be a disgrace.
Assigned with only a caretaker and just enough money to survive, he was thrown away from the Kaslana family and eventually forgotten about because he is thought to be disgraceful and his record was purged and he was removed from the bloodline of Kaslana.

Just as he was exiled, his supposed caretaker arranged for him to have an accident by the order of an elder that wanted to remove the stain of Kaslana from the surface of the world. However, by miracle. He survived and met a mysterious person that decided to be his caretaker for no reason. Despite receiving nothing in return, his caretaker had been dutifully raising him with great care and providing him with the best she could offer. The best home, care, education, etc
For the following years until adulthood, Adam had been living with a fake identity and away from the influence of Schicksal.
As a Kaslana, Adam had no talent for combat and because of his sickly constitution, he avoided it. Instead, he likes to invent things from weapons to robots. He is aware of the Honkai unlike other people. He also wishes to contribute to humanity. His inventions that he dubbed T-Doll was his masterpiece. Tactical android that is capable of operating in high honkai contamination area where Valkyrie couldn't and armed with weapons capable of taking down even Templar Class Honkai Beast with sufficient firepower. However, due to this he becomes popular and immediately identified by Schicksal that sent people after him.

In order to protect himself, Adam created an organization that is similar to a mercenary group that only takes Honkai Beast related jobs.
———
On the day he turned 18, Adam Kaslana was waking up from his sleep when he suddenly froze and looked confused for a moment in silence.
"These memories… I see. I was actually reincarnated here 18 years ago but my memories are sealed until today… Did that mean 9 years have already passed in the Main World?!" Adam immediately realized and brought up his System for questioning.
[Calm down Host, the time Host spent when the memories are sealed isn't counted and no time has passed in the main world until now.]
"I see." Adam sighed in relief before he remembered that Agent should arrive with him.
He checks his memories and turns out his caretaker Angie is actually Agent. She still, as usual, likes to be the maid to serve him even in this world.
He is the leader of an organization similar to Schicksal and Anti Entropy. He led an Anti-Honkai organization and fought Honkai using T-Dolls that he created with Agent's help and improved on their original design. His PMC is quite widely known and hired by many whenever there is a Honkai outbreak due to them being relatively cheap to hire and efficient with completing the job. Besides his PMC, he also delved in a lot of industry and business to supply his own logistics and build his T-Dolls because he is at odds with both Schicksal and Anti Entropy that wished to acquire his T-Dolls that he refuses to give up.
The Schicksal's Valkyrie is burdened by the fact they are human and they cannot stay inside an area with high Honkai radiation. The Anti Entropy also have Valkyrie but they mostly use mechs which are expensive to produce and each loss is a very heavy one for them. For that reason, T-Doll is revolutionary. They can operate without issues in high Honkai radiation areas and their losses aren't significant as long as the Neural Core can be recovered.
While Adam does receive commissions to clear out the Honkai Beast that appeared. Most of his major money maker contracts come from reclaiming areas that were lost to the Honkai outbreak which rake him billions per contract along with great reputation and influence from the normal people.
To put it simply, Schicksal and Anti Entropy want him for his genius mind in technology, Kaslana House wants him because he is now famous and rich, others want a piece of the pie of the T-Dolls technology.
But enough about himself, Adam pushed aside the memories and used The Almighty to look into the future.

Once done looking into the future, Adam turns off The Almighty with a long drawn sigh. The whole time he betted that the Herrscher Core inside Welt Joyce is the one he is looking for. However, he was very wrong.
He was mistaken as the current Era Herrschers is quite abnormal and the Herrscher Core inside Welt Yang has is not the real Core of Reason. It's something defective made up of the 300,000 souls of those who died during the First Impact in Berlin mixed with the Herrscher Core of Welt Joyce which Welt Yang later inherited. Only later when Bronya inherited the Core then it will become the real Core of Reason again. He also can't substitute using the Core of Reason from the Previous Era in the Void Archives since it had been modified and used as material for ye Divine Key.
"Do I have to stay and wait for another 26 years for the Core of Reason to reappear again?" Adam sighed while rubbing his brows exasperatedly. If only his mastery of The Almighty is strong enough he didn't have multiple restrictions when using it, he could probably foresee this problem in advance.
Adam then used The Almighty for a second time, draining his already dangerously low Reiryoku reserve as he looked for the ideal path he should take.
In his vision, he saw that it is possible for him to reverse the damage on the Previous Era Core of Reason inside the Void Archives and achieve his objective with the help of the Flame Chaser. But besides that, it seems that the technology from the Previous Era inside the Void Archive also has the answer to resolve the problem with producing High Grade Neural Core that does not require the Core of Reason.
"At least my trip here isn't in vain." Adam mutters but also frowns deeply.

Otto Apocalypse is a very troublesome opponent. Not dangerous. He is a man of commitment and his dedication to his goal makes him willing to go to any length. So, offending him is not advisable unless Adam can be sure that he can kill Otto in one swoop.
Just as Adam continues to mull over his next action, he hears footsteps approaching his room. But most importantly, a family presence as someone that possesses a portion of his soul.
"Young Master, it's time to wake up. You have an appointment with the representatives of House Kaslana and Schicksal."
Hearing this, Adam didn't feel shocked as this isn't the first time those mutts have persuaded him to return to their side. Adam Kaslana had always remained cordial because he was afraid to offend them and cause them to forcefully tear down his organization and drag him back to House Kaslana. But Adam isn't worried about them at all. Killing them is as easy as a flick of his finger.
"Cancel it and say I am unable." Adam said before moving out of his bed.
Agent raised her eyebrow with the odd response and turned to look at Adam for a few moments before everything clicked in her mind.
"Master! You are finally awake!" She couldn't hold back anymore and broke her mask of professionalism and hugged Adam as Adam hugged her back tightly.
They spend quite some time catching up with each other. Especially Agent and Adam feel sorry because she has to endure alone for 18 years. But apparently she enjoys raising up Adam Kaslana which she describes to be Adam White or him but without his memories. The way he talks, acts and likes is still the same as Adam White.
"Well, I feel like spending time with you today."
"But what about the representative? If the Master ignores them and makes them angry, the House Kaslana and Schicksal will truly start acting against us and target our organization."
"So what? If they dare, I go and wipe them off the map." Adam shrugs and insists on a date with Agent for today because he thinks she deserves it. Taking a day off for fun isn't going to ruin his missions considering the person he is supposed to save isn't even born yet, smh.
Hearing such domineering reassurance from Adam, Agent argued no more and went to inform the representatives that the appointments are canceled. Then she went to put on some more casual clothes under his request because they aren't going on a date with Agent wearing a maid outfit. She is supposed to be off duty and enjoying the date.
———
An hour later, the representatives arrived to meet Adam. This time for sure they will pressure him to return back to House Kaslana. However, when they went to the receptionist as usual to meet Adam, they were told the appointment is canceled because Adam is busy.
They were angry at first but calmed down and think Adam probably has something important to do in the lab since he is primarily a researcher who revolutionized technology and created T-Dolls.
When the representative of House Kaslana, one of Adam's uncles, called his insider for information of what Adam is working with. He was told Adam didn't even go to the lab. So he hung up his phone and called another number to inquire. Finally he learned what Adam is truly up to.
9
"That brat! He dares to treat us like this and go out on a date with a servant! I will make him regret this!" The representative's face turns red from anger and storms off Adam's lab.
The representative immediately reported this treatment from Adam that clearly undermined the authority of Schicksal and a way to say that Adam didn't care at all.
"Lord Bishop, he is too audacious to undermine the authority of Schicksal. I suggest that we capture and drag him back by force."
The person on the other side of the call didn't reply immediately and instead seems to be considering something.
"I will send some appropriate reinforcements for this mission."
"Yes, Lord Bishop." The two representatives nodded before the call ended.
They quickly left the lab office and went to keep an eye on Adam while awaiting for the reinforcement from Schicksal to arrive in another two hours.
Meanwhile Adam, who is having a romantic morning breakfast in a cafe, suddenly received a vision.
"It seems Otto really wants to catch me that badly." He wondered amusedly before returning to his date.
