Room 1001.
Lü Xiao Dao returned from buying medicine and climbed ten floors in one go, beads of sweat forming on his forehead. He boiled some water, gave Lu Xiaoyu her medicine, and only relaxed after watching her fall asleep.
Once he had finished, he wiped away his sweat and sat on the living room floor, his eyes slightly vacant as he let his thoughts wander.
He and his sister had both grown up in an orphanage. Later, it closed down, leaving them no choice but to venture out into the world.
They seemed to have been pretty lucky along the way.
They had been lucky enough to obtain permission to establish a society through the landlady here.
Lucky enough to be taken in by the landlady and help her deal with problems in the building.
Lucky enough to become Awakened.
Lucky enough to meet a doctor from Night Spirit City.
Speaking of the doctor, he hadn't expected that boy to actually know medicine. In that case, he could recruit him into his Wanderers' Society. At least his sister's medical care would be free from then on.
Besides, with my strength as an Awakened, keeping him in line shouldn't be a problem. I'll put him in his place first.
Huh?
Just as that thought crossed his mind, he suddenly seemed to sense something.
He took out the golden key hidden against his chest, and a message flashed through his mind.
[Your opponent, Black Key holder No. 54, has died. Congratulations on passing the first round of trials.] [Your reward will be issued in ten days.]
Dead?
I passed?
Lü Xiao Dao sat blankly on the floor, scratching his head in surprise. Suddenly, a smile crept onto his bewildered face.
Could I be heaven's favorite?
