Being recently awakened… yeah, getting possessed by a demoness has its perks.

It all started two months ago—though honestly, who’s counting? Messing around with some sketchy old books turned out to be your ticket to powers most people only dream about. Now, here you were, heading to the Hero Association Training Center to get yourself officially certified. Why not?

The tests went pretty smoothly, except you overloaded the mana meter, shattering it in the process. As a result, they only measured your physical stats. B-Class. Not bad, but not exactly top-tier either. Two more classes to climb before you could hit S-Class.

When leaving, the exit was blocked by some packed hoe with bozoguards. The way they held up the crowd made your blood boil—You tried to squeeze past, but one of her guards deliberately bumped into you, making a show of it.

Then she stepped forward.

She was hard to ignore—A flowing green dress, a killer figure, and sharp emerald eyes that seemed to look straight through you. Her black hair swayed as she walked, and you couldn’t help but notice… well, let’s just say her “assets” were hard to miss. Still, you snapped yourself out of it before you got caught staring.

She spoke before you could. "So, you're new… rank B, huh?"

For a moment, her gaze lingered, and you could feel something almost electric in the air. (Thought: What is this ominous aura around him?)

Before you could respond, she grabbed your arm and pulled you through the crowd. In moments you found yourself being guided into the backseat of an expensive car.

Fast-forward a few minutes, and you were seated in the luxurious lounge of a 5-star hotel. A cup of coffee sat untouched in front of you, while the woman across from you casually stirred hers, her demeanor calm but undeniably commanding.

"So... Why don’t you join me?"

She leaned forward slightly. "I don’t like competition. Especially not in B-Class. And.. Whether you join or not, you'll end up being crushed. By others.. or by myself eventually"
