After the meal, Carol offered to escort him back to his house. He accepted the offer without any complaints.

’Thank goodness, I was scared I’d have to walk all the way back home by myself’

Although the streets were empty, there were monsters hiding at every corner, waiting for the unfortunate victim.

Just the thought alone was enough to make his heart beat faster.

’Maybe this would be a good time to upgrade my stat’

"System," he called, "show me my status info,"

*Reach the target to upgrade rank*

At first glance everything was looked normal but then he noticed that his stamina had a symbol instead of a number.

’Is that infinity?’ he wondered.

That was the only thing it could possibly mean.

But why was it this way?

He thought about it for more than a few seconds before he remembered that this morning he woke up with a new body.

’Could that be it?!’

It made sense to consider that his new body was the reason for the sudden change, but he couldn’t tell if something like that was even possible.

’Who am I kidding, anything is possible at this point. Maybe it really is part of the upgrade pack’

’A body that would never run out of stamina... is that what it means to have the body of a Sex Beast?’

He was starting to get excited but tried his best not to show it so Carol wouldn’t notice.

’Things like this are best kept private’ he cleared his throat fixed his composure ’For now I’ll just invest a bit in Innate Karma’

[Innate Karma +30 (lvl 1→lvl 2→lvl 3)

"Lucas, I want you to answer honestly," Carol said calmly, here eyes still ahead, "You have a Legacy don’t you?"

Then she turned to him, "Just answer,"

Lucas considered denying but there was no point, especially after she just indirectly revealed that she also knew what it meant to have one.

’Then she must also have it... except she learnt about it online’

"Yeah," He exhaled and admitted

After everything she had done for him it felt pointless lying to her.

"How about you?" He asked.

She nodded.

"I had a feeling that was the case for you too, strong Talents usually comes with a Legacy to match,"

"Oh," Lucas said.

It felt nice knowing she acknowledged his talent since Carol wasn’t just beautiful she was also one of the strongest.

"Most of the other members of the group also have a Legacy but they are keeping it hidden so they don’t reveal all their cards,"

"I figured... if you don’t mind me asking, what kind of quest do you get?"

He had been waiting for someone to ask this question.

"Just the usual, it’s not much different from the Rank Missions. The last one was to save the engineers, it was also part of our Rank Mission so that was why we headed to the power plant. Isn’t that why you also went there?"

Lucas shook his head, "I was actually tricked into going by some assholes,"

’it wasn’t even much of a trick’

"But to be honest I’m happy I went. I got to meet you," he said it without thinking too much.

Carol’s face turned red as he said it. She turned away in attempt to hide it.

Lucas panicked as he noticed,

"I didn’t mean to offend you, I meant I got to run into you and your group and now because of that my future doesn’t look as sad as before. I’m actually starting to feel very hopeful, like I could still have a life in this apocalypse,"

"Well, good for you," she said with a small smile. "Also if you want to be part of the group you have to come to the meeting later this night,"

"There’s a meeting?"

"Yeah, that’s when we discussed our plans and strategies. Don’t worry I can come get you when I’m heading there, just be ready by seven,"

"Sure," Lucas answered.

He figured joining their group was the fastest way to achieve the things he wanted to. They could help him grow stronger and even give him information about how to survive.

’Plus I’d get to spend more time with Elena and Carol’

That was actually the biggest bonus.

He arrived home a short while later and collapsed on his bed.

It didn’t take five minutes before there was a knock on the door.

He opened his door to see Stacy.

"Lucas, it’s nice to see you safe and sound," she said with a bright smile, one that he now knew held no good intentions.

"What do you want?" He asked.

"Nothing, some of my fans were just curious to see if you were still alive,"

"Hey guys, see he’s safe and sound. There’s no need to worry anymore," she spoke in a girly tone, far different from when she told him off the day before.

Lucas just stood there and watched the display, the smiles and giggles all of sudden seemed so fake and empty.

’Her pretty face really is deceiving. Well I guess learned my lesson, but I wish I could at least get revenge’

"Okay guys, I’ll talk to you all later," she blew a kiss at the camera then ended the Livestream. The moment she did the camera disappeared and so did her smile.

She turned to him with a cold expression, "What did you do? Why are they suddenly interested in you?"

’They are interested in me?’ he was surprised. "It must be because they saw me at the power plant with those guys.

"Why do you care?" he answered rudely before slamming the door on her face.

"You fucking jerk! Is that how you treat a lady,"

"Fuck off!" He screamed out nonchalantly just so he could piss her off even more.

It worked as she kicked door angrily before leaving.

"Asshole!" She cursed.
