Landlord World - Start with SSS talent

Noan felt that his physical strength didn't increase much, but what grew the most was his energy and magical power. He raised his hand, and a blue-green fireball appeared before him, the size of a basketball. He could feel the overwhelming destructive power within this fireball, its energy immense.

However, he had no intention of using the fireball right now. Instead, he returned to his domain and used the 'Simulation Training Room' to practice.

Noan opened his information panel to review his new ability.

...

Name: Hellfire

Rank: SS

Description: A flame from Hell, used to burn the souls of the deceased.

It not only tortures the soul but also causes the soul to disintegrate gradually, turning it into energy for the user of this flame.

...

Noan was taken aback when he saw the description of the ability. He turned his gaze toward Malrik and asked, "You will burn the souls you've captured and turn them into energy for yourself, won't you?"

"Kekeke… Looks like you've figured it out, Master." Malrik scratched his head and said, "Yes, Master. However, there's a deadly flaw in this method—if your mental strength isn't strong enough, those souls will drive you insane."

Noan shuddered at the thought of thousands of souls flooding his mind, causing his sanity to fracture and sending his thoughts into chaos. The idea was enough to frighten him.

But for Malrik, it was different. This flame was originally his, so when Malrik used it to absorb energy from other souls, that weakness was nearly nonexistent.

'Perhaps that's why Malrik is this strong,' Noan thought.

He also abandoned the idea of using 'Hellfire' to enhance his magical power, just like Malrik.

For Noan, safety was his top priority.

…

Three days later, Noan returned to the Bloodline Tomb. This time, he stood in front of the door and, instead of searching for a way to open it, he shouted, "150cm! Open the door for me!"

Immediately, Noan felt the space around him shift. When he opened his eyes, he found himself inside the tomb. Carlotta, with an annoyed expression, was staring at him.

"How do you want to die?" she asked.

"Hahaha..." Noan laughed nervously and pulled a warm food box from his 'Storage Space,' placing it on a clean cloth. "Alright, don't be angry anymore."

"If I didn't say it like that, how would you let me in here, right?"

"I have a name, didn't you forget?" Carlotta frowned.

"Ah! I really forgot... your name is..." Noan trailed off.

Crack!

Carlotta clenched her fist so tightly that the sound of cracking bones could be heard. In an instant, she lunged toward him with a speed he couldn't even see, swinging her leg—

BAM!

Noan was sent flying backward, crashing through several large ice blocks before finally stopping. His stomach was torn open, blood and organs spilling out.

But just a few minutes later, his body regenerated, and he stood up, cheerfully saying, "This time, you went easier on me than last time."

Carlotta gritted her teeth. This was the first time she had met a human so shameless.

Noan, seemingly indifferent to Carlotta's fury, pulled out several items from his 'Storage Space.'

He even brought out a large swing made of wood and silk threads by Zhisse: a bed, a mattress, chairs, and a table.

"Hm... this is where the bed goes, and here's where the chair goes..." Noan muttered to himself as he arranged the furniture in what he thought was best.

Carlotta: "..."

"Oy! What the hell are you doing?" Carlotta asked, confused. "I... I don't need these things. If you dare put them here, I will smash them."

"Ah! So, if I beg you, you won't destroy them, right?" Noan didn't look at Carlotta, continuing to set up the furniture as he asked.

Carlotta frowned, crossing her arms over her chest, and said arrogantly, "That's right, if you beg me, I might show you some mercy so you can serve me."

"Then I beg you, is that alright?" Noan continued to arrange the furniture while speaking, his expression somewhat indifferent.

Carlotta didn't get angry. On the contrary, as she watched Noan setting up the exquisite furniture, something inexplicable warmed her heart, making her heartbeat quicken just a little.

She pouted and sniffed in disdain, "Fine, because you begged me, I'll allow you to leave those useless things here."

"Yes! Yes! Thank you for your mercy, Queen of the Bloodline," Noan said as if teasing her.

After he finished arranging the furniture, both Carlotta and Noan no longer sat on the cold ice but instead on the warm, soft cushions of the chairs.

This time, Noan didn't just bring food; he also brought a tea set and some tea.

Carlotta drank the tea, her movements graceful and elegant, so much so that Noan couldn't help but pay attention, watching her without tiring of it.

"Huh! This tea tastes like river water, nothing special." Carlotta complained but still finished the tea in her cup. "Because you begged me, I'm drinking it."

Noan rested his chin on his hand, watching Carlotta like a little cat puffing up its fur, and a smile spread across his face.

"What are you laughing at?" Carlotta frowned, asking.

"Ah! Just thinking that you're a little cute," Noan said.

Upon hearing that, Carlotta bit her lip, her face turning red like a glowing ember.

Noan didn't notice her embarrassment, sighing deeply and saying, "I came here to say goodbye."

"What?!" Carlotta was startled, quickly shouting, "Where are you going?"

"Ah! Are you worried about me?" Noan asked with a playful grin.

"Huh! Worried about you? Are you dreaming?" Carlotta crossed her arms, saying disdainfully.

"Don't worry, I'm just going back to the city. I'll be back here in ten days." Noan smiled and added, "I wanted to leave you some food and drink, but this place is too cold, so I can't keep the food fresh."

Carlotta frowned, her fingers gently twitching.

Clink! Clink! Clink!

Immediately after, several black stones, about the size of a thumb, appeared and fell onto the table.

"Is that enough?" Carlotta asked.

Noan, confused, tilted his head to look at her, then glanced at the stones on the table.

"You really are a fool. Humans are all fools. How can such fools rule this world?" Carlotta impatiently shouted.

"Those are 'Space Stones.' They can store anything if it's not a living being. Each one has a space as large as a small room."

"You can put food inside, and no matter how long it takes, when you take it out, it will be just as fresh as when you put it in."

Hearing Carlotta's explanation, Noan widened his eyes as he stared at the stones on the table.

If what Carlotta said was true, these stones had the same function as the 'Storage Space' he possessed.

"You can take them," Carlotta said generously, "Consider it payment for the meals."

"Ah! You don't need to do that," Noan replied, though he still picked up all the 'Space Stones' from the table with both hands.

Carlotta: "..."

She had never met a human so shameless before.

Noan then placed ten carefully packed boxes onto the table and said, "These are the food and tea for the days I'm not here. Don't eat too much, or you'll get fat."

"You..." Carlotta gritted her teeth, then waved her hand.

BAM!

Noan's body exploded into a pile of blood, his head thrown into a black vortex, disappearing from this place.

Carlotta gasped in anger, but she couldn't stay angry when she looked at the exquisite boxes on the table, accompanied by the enticing aroma of the food.

A sudden warm feeling rose in her chest, leaving her puzzled.

"Shameless!" Carlotta said disdainfully, but then her tone suddenly softened. "Humans... so strange."

"No, looks like he's the only one with the weirdo."

...

Noan left the Bloodline Tomb and returned to his domain, awaiting the system's notification. Not just him, but almost every other Lord was also waiting for this news.

In this brutal and desolate world, they only hoped to return to the City and enjoy the modern conveniences and comforts. After all, they had grown up in the city, and even though they became Lords, they still lived within the safe zones where everything was provided.

Now, being sent to such a barren place with insufficient food left them both mentally and physically exhausted.

The news that they could return to the city was like a panacea, a remedy to help them feel more awake and happy.

Although they would eventually be forced to return to this desolate area, at least they had ten days to relax.

[Ding! You can return to the City. Which hero would you like to bring back with you?]

"Malrik!" Noan immediately responded.

[Ding! Hero to bring: Malrik - Legend Skeleton. Valid!]

[Ding! Starting teleportation back to the city, please wait a moment.]

Noan took a deep breath, feeling a bit nervous.

Vylyss was currently hiding in the 'Summoning Space.' If this worked, it would be the distinguishing factor between him and the other Lords.

Not only would he bring a hero back to the City, but in the future, Noan could use this cheat trick to enter challenges where only one hero could be brought.

At that moment, Noan noticed the space around him begin to shift. Within seconds, he realized he was standing in a place he was quite familiar with.

Noan took a deep breath, then exhaled, smiling as he said, "Finally, back to this place."
