Chapter 22: Unnamed
As Felix drove through the dimly lit streets, his hands firmly gripping the steering wheel, he glanced at Ashton, who was silently staring out the window. The atmosphere in the car was tense.But didn't not talk about incident that happen before.
"Let's go to my apartment," Felix suddenly said. "You'll be safe there. You know I've been living separately from my family for a while now—trying to be independent."
Ashton shifted his gaze toward Felix, his violet eyes calm but firm. "No need. I'll go to my own place."
Felix frowned. "Ashton, I'm serious. You were just taken today. Who knows what else could happen?"
"I can take care of myself," Ashton replied without hesitation.
Felix clenched his jaw, clearly unhappy. "Then at least let me stay with you for the night."
"No," Ashton cut him off. "Pick me up tomorrow morning. That's enough."
Felix let out a frustrated sigh but didn't push further. Soon, they arrived at Ashton's apartment complex. Ashton stepped out of the car and waved off Felix's lingering concern before heading inside.
Ashton reached his apartment door and paused. His eyes narrowed. The door had been repaired—and not just repaired, but reinforced with a security system that wasn't there before.
"Strange…" he muttered. So he must have done this, but why ?
Shaking off the thought for now, he unlocked the door and entered. As soon as he locked it behind him, he exhaled deeply, his body finally relaxing.
"Status," he commanded.
A purple screen instantly materialized before him, glowing softly in the dim room

Ashton studied the new tabs on the system screen.
"So, there's a shop, an inventory, and even quests…" . So shop and inventory is locked .
His gaze moved to the Main Quest. Unlocking Necromancy required him to reach Level 5 and gather 50 Soul Coins—not an easy task.
"Looks like I'll need to start farming and hunting soon," Ashton murmured.
Closing the system screen, he stretched and let out a breath. Tomorrow would be the real beginning of his journey.
