"Don't see it, you'll die", Rex whispers to Adhara.
Rex immediately hugs Adhara because the system sent a warning to him upon seeing the stone tablet.
<Warning!>
<Remnant of the White Omicron detected, DO NOT look at it>
The system warning came just before he glanced at the stone tablet, and instantly after he laid his eyes on it, his eyes started to bleed uncontrollably.
Rex is surprised when he sees the word 'DO NOT' bold and red, the system has never done it before until now.
His eyes are still throbbing madly even though he already closed them.
Feeling Rex hugging her to cover her vision, Adhara widened her eyes before she too looks away.
She didn't even hesitate as soon as she saw Rex's eyes bleeding, she knew that if Rex is hurt by it then what would happen to her.
"Rex?! Are you okay?!", Hera shouted as she approaches Rex.
Rosie also followed behind her with hurried steps, the situation escalated in the blink of an eye.
Both Rosie and Hera were so shocked by the sudden situation, they both unconsciously avoid seeing the stone tablet because Rex got hurt by it.
"What happened? How did this happen?", Hera asks worriedly.
Rex covers his eyes with his hand and said, "Let's just go, I can't be here for too long"
'Did that stone tablet got something to do with Werewolf? There's not another explanation for this sudden situation', Rosie thought as she followed the others outside.
Rex already wipes the blood coming out of his eyes,
Although he already wiped it, one can still see the bloodstain on his face and his shirt.
The guards glanced at Rex with a confused look, they didn't understand what happened to Rex's eyes and shirt because they know that the stone tablet inside is not aggressive like the Supernatural carcass.
After the museum incident, they all went back to their rooms.
Hera questioned Rex about the incident before but Rex told her that this happened because he's still tired and weak from the tournament.
She seems skeptical about it but she finally puts it to rest.
Now, Rex is alone in the second-floor hall.
After resting for a while, Rex went to the second floor after he changed his clothes.
He's currently trying to find a room with the number 505 on it, 'She said that her room is around here, oh! there it is', Rex thought.
Room 505 is on the corner-most room and it is decorated differently.
There are only a few rooms in this section of the second floor, the door is carved with a family crest, and the front of room 505 is guarded by two early rank four female guards.
Rex approaches the room before he got held by the guard.
"You're in the wrong place, please go back", one of the guards said, she's looking Rex up and down.
Rex then replied, "This is Evelyn's room right? I have an appointment with her"
Hearing this, both guards widened their eyes in surprise, "How dare you call our miss like that! You will be hanged for that!"
One of the guard's bodies started to envelop in mana as anger bubbled up inside her.
Rex is confused, "What? I called her Evelyn just like any other normal people would", he said trying to defend himself.
He didn't feel wrong to call her that, it's her name.
Before the guard becomes even furious, the door suddenly opened revealing Evelyn in an inappropriate pajama.
Seeing this, Rex turns his head away.
"Stop it, he's a guest of mine so let him in", Evelyn said gracefully before she goes back inside.
Hearing this, both of the guards bowed deeply and said, "Forgive me Lady Evelyn", they then let Rex enter the room.
After Rex and Evelyn enter the room, both guards look at each other in shock.
"Since when did Lady Evelyn have guy friends?"
Inside the room,
Rex looks around the room as he nodded his head,
The room is decorated in black, gold, and red. The floor is covered with black and red carpet, there are a couple of chairs and tables to attend guests, a majestic purple sword hanging on the wall and there is a family photo of the Luc Family on the wall.
Rex looks at the family photo, there are four people in it and Kevin is one of them.
Just as he looks around, a soothing voice crept to his ears, "Are you done looking around? Is my family photo more interesting than me?"
Hearing this, Rex turns to his back.
The scene that greets him greatly shocked him to his core.
Evelyn who wears revealing pajamas is sitting on the edge of the bed, her blazing red hair is tied, and she looks at Rex seductively.
She crossed her legs slowly, the graceful air that she always has vanished.
The scene makes Rex gulped his saliva hard, his vision filled with purple lust, "I...I want to give this back to you", Rex said.
He takes the sword on his side and lays it on the table.
"Without the sword, I might not be able to beat Kevin, and it seems you know that", He added.
Evelyn untied her hair making it fall gracefully to her side, it covers one of her eyes as she said, "Is that the only thing you want to say by coming here?"
Rex's mind went wild, he then forcefully held it in and said, "I owe you one"
Hearing this, Evelyn stands up from her bed while her hair swayed left and right following her body's movement.
She started approaching Rex closer, "I must say, I'm quite interested in you"
Rex's body froze, he can only watch Evelyn getting closer to him.
Her womanly scent penetrates Rex's nose as she got closer and closer, Evelyn's slender hands then touch Rex's chest slowly making Rex's body stiffen.
She then wiped the slight bloodstain on Rex's cheek and said, "Then I'll make full use of it when the time comes"
Evelyn kissed Rex's cheek before she called the guards to escort Rex out.
After giving back the sword to Evelyn, Rex held his chest.
His heartbeat is thumping hard right now, and his face is red because of Evelyn. 'I need to get myself together'
It is already night now,
Adhara is already waiting for him in the Yichi Grove, they decided to go there separately to lessen the suspicion of wandering eyes.
Because of the tournament before, he becomes famous throughout the university.
Many people started to pay attention to him when he walks around, it feels weird but Rex got used to it.
While he's walking along in the university lobby, his hand suddenly got grabbed.
Rex didn't get surprised because he can already smell the scent of Rosie, "What is it, Rosie? I need to go somewhere", Rex said coldly.
"I want to talk to you, please it will be just a minute", Rosie said pleadingly.
Rex nodded his head, the night is still early so he's not in a hurry to turn Adhara.
They both went to a quieter place, Rex notice Rosie is fidgeting her fingers while walking beside him.
"What is it? What do you want to talk about?", Rex asks.
Rosie bit her lips for a moment, she then said meekly, "What will happen to you and me now? I know that the deal is done but can we..."
Before she can finish, Rex intervenes, "Our deal is done, and that's that"
"I can still pretend to be your boyfriend in front of your parents but aside from that, we have nothing between us"
Hearing this, Rosie is stunned.
Rex's cold words make her heart ache, she knows this will happen but it still hurt her.
After saying that, Rex wanted to leave but got held by Rosie again.
"Can I ask why?", Rosie said while putting her head down.
Her question is simple but Rex knew that if he told her, then she will try to prove to him and that is not what Rex wanted.
He doesn't want someone who only does things for him, that's not what he's looking for.
'She's just not the right person', Rex thought before she left Rosie. He left Rosie without even answering her question.
Rosie can only see Rex's back getting farther away from her, she stretched her hand but she held it back before a tear falls down from her eyes.
Thirty minutes later, Rex arrives in the Yichi Grove.
There is a digital billboard in front of the Yichi Grove that states who is currently in it.
All of the Awakened that went inside the Yichi Grove will be accounted for, and if someone doesn't come out within 24 hours without notice then the retrieval team will search for them.
There are sixty-two people currently inside it, and Rex can see Adhara's name among them.
Rex went inside after he got checked by the guards.
After entering the Yichi Grove, Rex was immediately greeted by huge trees.
The place in front of him looks the same no matter what angle he looks it from, it will be hard for a new person like him to navigate around the place.
That's why the guards give him a map of the Yichi Grove.
Yichi Grove can be divided into three areas, outer, middle, and inner.
The mutated beasts vary in rank between each area, but all of the mutated beasts here are already accounted for and explored.
Finding Adhara is easy, they both are linked with each other.
After a couple of minutes, Rex manages to find Adhara near the waterfall.
"Adhara, there you are", Rex said as he waves to Adhara.
Hearing this, Adhara glance at Rex and waves back, "Here!", she's currently sitting on a rock beside the waterfall.
Rex approached her before she said, "I picked this place so if I shout then it won't be as obvious"
The waterfall sound is loud, even Rex and Adahra need to speak up just to talk to each other although they're beside each other.
Both of them scout the surroundings to make sure there is no one around.
While scouting the area, Rex senses a familiar presence before he sighs and went back to Adhara.
After they both done scouting the area,
Rex lifts a couple of huge rocks to cover them from all sides, it is an extra layer of protection if somehow someone manages to get here while he turns Adhara into a real Werewolf.
He can just buy an item from the system but he doesn't want to be wasteful with his gold.
'System, how can I create the unique mark?', Rex asks the system.
Just after he said that a hologram tab appeared in front of him.
Rex looks at the hologram tab and saw that he can create whichever shape of his unique mark just by thinking of it.
'Silverstar huh, well let's just make it literally a silver star', Rex thought.
The silver star-shaped mark appeared on the hologram tab, after nodding his head the hologram disappears before a notification appears.
<Where would the user like the Silverstar Mark be placed on the user's body?>
'Does it matter where I place the Silverstar Mark?'
<Yes, the place of the Silverstar Mark is the place where the target will have to be touched to mark them with the Silverstar Mark>
Reading this, Rex then decided, 'If that's the case, put the Silverstar Mark on the palm of my hand'
<Confirmed>
After the last notification from the system, Rex can see that a Silverstar Mark appears on the palm of his right hand.
Adhara saw this, "What's that?"
"Our pack unique mark, after I mark you with this you will turn into a Werewolf in 7 days", Rex said.
Hearing this, Adhara marveled at the unique mark.
But then she suddenly remembers, "Will you choke me again?"
Rex stumbles because of Adhara's question, he didn't expect Adhara to bring it up again.
"Fine if you want to be choked that much, let's put it here!", Rex said before he held the back of Adhara's neck.
'System, Mark her!', Rex thought before the Silverstar Mark glows.
Right after the glow, "AAAHHH!!", Adhara started to scream hysterically.
Her scream is louder than when she first turns into a half-Werewolf, her face distorted in pain as her eyes turn yellow.
Rex can see the Silverstar Mark burns Adhara's neck as the mark started to appear.
Adhara's body started to emit white steam, Rex can feel her body heating up.
The back of Adhara's neck started to bleed uncontrollably, it was a gruesome scene and Rex can't let go of Adhara's neck no matter how hard he tried to let go.
It feels like the palm of his hand is glued to the back of Adhara's neck.
"RAAGHH!!", Adhara kept screaming, her scream reverberated to the surrounding.
If not for the loud waterfall, the Awakened around this area will definitely hear Adhara's loud painful scream.
This process lasts about three minutes before it ended.
Rex let go of Adhara before she fell down to the ground,
Her chest heaved up and down roughly, her body is letting out white steam, and there's a Silverstar Mark on the back of Adhara's neck.
Looking at the Silverstar Mark, Rex frowns.
The Silverstar Mark on the back of her neck is black, it is different than Rex's silver color.
<Adhara has been successfully Marked, please continue with the process>
Reading this, Rex turns his right hand into a claw before he slashed the palm of his left hand making blood gushed out of it.
He didn't want to get distracted so he held the back of Adhara's neck again making her groan.
<5%...>
<9%...>
<14%...>
The notification keep raising as his blood got sucked by the Silverstar Mark,
The black Silverstar Mark started to turn color, the longer he feeds it blood the more it changes color.
<100%...>
<Completed, Adhara will turn completely in 6 Days 23 Hours 59 Minutes>
After getting the system notification, Rex let go of Adhara's neck again before he started to inspect the Silverstar Mark.
The black-colored mark now becomes paler, 'Will it turn silver at the end of the countdown?'
While Rex is inspecting the Silverstar Mark, Adhara coughs a couple of times as she still felt the burning sensation on the back of her neck.
Rex is inspecting the mark when suddenly his eyes begin to throb again, 'That White Omicron Remnant really hurt me', he thought.
Although his eyes are already healed,
Rex can still feel slight leftover pain from before, it seems the pain will stick with him for a while.
Adhara then takes out her phone before she lifts her hair up and takes a photo of the back of her neck.
Adhara then looks at the photo and becomes excited, "Is this the Silverstar Pack Mark? It's beautiful", she said.
The mark is glossy and it becomes one with her skin.
It's like a freshly new tattoo but this tattoo can turn her into a Werewolf, "Why is it more black than yours?", she asks.
"It will be the same later, tell me if you feel any changes during these 7 days", Rex said.
He needs to do this thing more in the future, his sanity kept decreasing each night so he needs to add another member as soon as possible.
Because of that, he wanted to know the detail of Adhara's transformation.
Just as he's thinking, Rex senses a person approaching them, 'Why is she so presistent?'
