The Author's POV

'How dare he! That bastard!'

Dominon's jaw clenched tightly as he inched his way up from the ground while grinding his teeth. After glaring at the people around him for what seemed like an eternity and then watching them leave one by one, he massaged his jaw.

… In that brief instant he felt the hand seize his jaw; he thought his face would explode.

'How is he so strong?'

He didn't even have time to react before he felt his hand grasp his jaw.

…He felt helpless at that moment. No matter how hard he struggled, he was unable to free himself from that grasp.

For a moment, he thought he was going to die.

Dominion, ever since he joined the Green Claw Guild, never imagined there would be a day when he would find himself in a position where he would find himself completely helpless and disrespected like that.

From the first moment he saw the young man, he had the impression that he was powerful; however, he had never before thought that he was powerful to that extent... It was highly likely that he was an emerging face in the industry.

'But how come I don't remember seeing news about him?'

That was what confused Dominion the most regarding the circumstances. If he was so powerful, how come he'd never heard of him?

"Could he have used some sort of trick? …Or is he someone who's hiding his power?"

…It wasn't unheard of.

He grit his teeth.

"Regardless, of whether you've hidden your power or not, you've messed with the wrong person."

He was going to make the youth understand that letting go was the worst decision he could have possibly made.

Dominion continued to massage his jaw and took out his phone. He soon dialed a number.

"I wonder what face he'll make once he sees the Guild Leader in person..."

His eyes flashed with ferocity.

"What's going on here?"

I came to a halt in front of a plot of land on which there was a sizable warehouse. Nothing was left inside, and the building looked to be completely deserted.

My brows furrowed even further as I walked around the location and double checked to make sure there really was nothing there.

I stopped once I was certain that the place was completely abandoned.

"The hell is going on?"

From the thin mana in the air to the guild recruiter who didn't seem to know me, to the warehouse where my headquarters were supposed to be…

It finally became extremely clear to me that something was extremely wrong with the situation.

"Huuu."

I had to take a deep breath to calm myself down.

'Just what did you do, Kevin?'

When I thought back to the scene where his body abruptly disintegrated into fragments and entered my body, I realized that whatever was happening to me was a direct result of whatever he had done moments prior to his death.

…I just needed to understand what he'd done.

'Let me try checking home.'

The scene around me warped, and I appeared before a tall building.

It was a familiar building. One that I had been to many times before in the past.

"At least this looks the same."

I headed toward the entrance of the building but soon came to a stop.

"Huh?"

…Again, another change.

Usually, there'd be a couple of guards in front of the residence. It was the same as now, but…
