[Based on the host's choice, different benefits will be granted, and the type of quests obtained will vary.]

•After the system screen appeared regarding the type selection, Virus pondered what would happen if the fusion with the system failed and what benefits each choice would grant him.

[If the fusion fails, the host's body will suffer severe damage, his mind will collapse, and he will enter a state of madness.]

Virus looked at the system with suspicion and questioned whether it was here to help him or to torture him. He then began contemplating his choice, feeling torn between options.

[In any case, you will die soon due to the uncontrolled energy surge. Why are you hesitating?]

[Before making a choice, you must understand that each option comes with different consequences.]

Virus thought about what kind of consequences each system could bring, but the system remained silent.

He then muttered to himself that there was no need to hesitate. He had always enjoyed novels where the protagonist was evil because they were different from his own personality. Deep down, he had always wanted to experience that himself. It was clear what he truly desired.

A sinister grin spread across his face as he chuckled darkly.

Then, he declared that he chose the last option.

[Are you sure about your choice?]

With a devilish grin and excitement in his voice, he answered with certainty.

At that moment, Sifloría glanced at him and saw that eerie smile. Anger flashed across her face as she thought to herself, wondering if this pervert was mocking her.

[The host must move to a secluded area before the fusion process begins.]

Virus thought about where to go and tried recalling a secluded place from this body's memories. However, he noticed that a part of his memory was missing. Every time he tried to remember that part, he felt an intense headache.

[New Quest: Retrieve the Lost Memories.]

As expected, there were missing memories. There was a period of his life that he couldn't recall.

But that wasn't important right now. He remembered a secluded place. It was where the original owner of this body used to train.

The spectators murmured among themselves.

Why is the seventh son leaving now?

Is he not interested in seeing the test results?

Maybe he's bitter about their strength.

Forget about him! Lady Sifloría is about to take her test. Let's watch.

Jiono smirked arrogantly, thinking that after all the support from her father, she would still end up in second place.

Virus glanced at the murmuring spectators as he left, thinking that these idiots talked too much. He didn't need to see the results—he already knew them before the test even began.

Special Ability: Crystal Frost (Inactive)

We then shift to a massive tower.

•Training Tower

The Training Towers allow all dragons to enter in exchange for magic stones, which serve as payment for their time inside. However, nobles do not need to pay for entry.

Virus approached an old man seated at the tower's entrance and greeted him, requesting to reserve a training room.

The old man placed a hand on him and chuckled, saying there was no need for such formality, addressing him as the Seventh Son, Virus.

Virus thought to himself, wondering how he could not show respect after seeing something that shocked him.

[Name: Chifo

Age: *****

Magic Power: *****

Mana Capacity: *****

Magic Type: *****

Character Info: *****]

[Host's power is insufficient to analyze this character. 1,000 coins required.]

Feeling embarrassed, Virus replied that he simply appreciated the old man's hard work at the tower.

The old man stroked his beard and chuckled, thanking him and stating that he was just doing his job. He then informed Virus that Room 13 was available.

Virus bowed slightly, thanked him, took the magic key, and ascended the tower.

The old man watched him leave, his eyes narrowing slightly, muttering to himself that there was something strange about the Seventh Son's mana. It had been a long time since he had encountered someone whose energy he couldn't analyze. He decided to keep an eye on him, chuckling to himself about finding an interesting new spectacle. He then wondered if he should inform certain others about this discovery.

•Inside the Training Room

Virus sat cross-legged on the ground, preparing for training.

[The fusion process has begun.]

Suddenly, a massive surge of energy erupted from the system. The system screen, usually a serene blue, turned into a deep crimson red.

A sinister aura engulfed Virus as dark demonic energy surged into him. Blood gushed from his body, and he let out an agonized scream as the entire tower trembled.

Thick black blood seeped from his wounds as a mysterious demonic sigil appeared on his face. The pain gradually subsided, but then the mana he had absorbed from the stone tablet began spiraling out of control.

The entire tower started shaking violently.

Those inside panicked and rushed toward the exits, with many transforming into their dragon forms to escape more quickly.

Outside, the onlookers were shocked by the massive tremor.

Chifo had already left the premises.

The Training Tower continued to shake violently.

The demonic energy kept surging into Virus's body, but the fusion process was on the verge of failure.

The Training Tower… began to collapse.

Stay tuned for the next chapter...

Happy day for everyone
