Corey looked at the silver watch on his left wrist with a slight furrow of his brows.

He tried to study the silver watch but apart from the watch having a digital clock on the display screen and also a side button, the silver watch had nothing else.

It just looked like a plain silver watch showing a digital clock on the display screen.

Realizing that he could not gain anything just from the appearance of the watch, Corey decided to press the button and when he did, a translucent screen appeared in front of him.

With slightly raised brows, Corey looked at the translucent screen then he read the contents of the screen.

[NEW RESIDENT OF THE UNDERWORLD… WELCOME… TO E-UNDERWORLD]

[A PLACE WHERE THE LAZY, COWARDLY AND PRIDEFUL CAN SHOP FOR WHATEVER GOODS THEY WANT]

[WHAT DO YOU WANT?]

[INFORMATION? FOOD? A NEW HOME? ASSASSINATION? SEX TOYS? SLAVES?]

[WHATEVER YOU WANT, WHATEVER YOU DESIRE, YOU CAN LOOK FOR IT ON E-UNDERWORLD AND PURCHASE IT]

[ALSO, YOU CAN SEE THE NUMBER OF VALUE POINTS YOU POSSESS AT THE TOP RIGHT CORNER OF THE E-UNDERWORLD]

[THIS MESSAGE WOULD DISAPPEAR IN TEN SECONDS AND WOULD NEVER APPEAR AGAIN]

[DON'T FORGET TO SPEND A LOT, YOUR SURVIVAL AND COMFORTABILITY IS OUR MAIN PRIORITY]

"…"

"Well that was unexpected and who do they think they're fooling."

Corey spoke with slight amusement in his tone and his brows slightly raised as he read the contents of the translucent screen.

'Also, I highly doubt they have everything.'

Corey thought while waiting for the ten seconds to pass and a few seconds later, it passed the E-Underworld was available to him.

"Information, Food, Assassination, Special Requests, Weapons, Skill Crystals, Slaves, Sex slaves and… leaderboard ranking?"

The E-Underworld actually has so many things one can buy from."

Corey muttered with slight surprise as he saw the various tabs of the E-Underworld.

He looked at the tabs for a few more seconds then he looked at the top right corner of the translucent screen, and there he saw the number of value points he possessed.

But as he looked at the number of value points he had, he frowned slightly.

'I only have 20 value points.

Corey thought with a slight frown as he looked at his value points.

'Although I don't know if that's much for a newcomer, I expected more.'

'Or maybe earning value points is not easy at all?'

Corey softly stroked his beardless chin for a few seconds, then he shrugged slightly and looked at the information tab on the translucent screen.

He tapped it and after tapping it, the screen changed and a question bar appeared on the translucent screen.

Below that question bar were instructions that said:

[YOU CAN SPEAK OUT LOUD OR MANUALLY USE THE E-KEYBOARD]

[IF YOU WANT TO USE THE E-KEYBOARD, TAP ON THE KEYBOARD ICON BESIDE THE QUESTION BAR]

'Did they put the E-Keyboard because of people that don't have the ability to speak?'

Corey wondered then he dismissed his curiosity a second later and decided to focus on more important things.

He tapped the keyboard icon and typed the words:

[What is astral realm and astral mana?]

As soon as Corey typed those words, a reply was given to Corey, asking him to pay ten value points.

Corey frowned slightly, but knowing that he needed certain information, he tapped the pay button and the instant he tapped it, a long string of words appeared on the translucent screen and Corey read it.

Around five minutes passed and Corey had a pondering expression as he placed his fingers on his chin.

He ruminated over what he read and from he understood a few things.

The astral realm was the level of power, Tier 1-3 beings were in.Tier 1 to tier 3 beings are called astral beings because the type of mana they control is different from the mana tier 0 beings utilized.

Just like the name astral realm and astral being, the type of mana tier 1 to tier 3 beings use is called Astral Mana and according to what he read, astral mana was way more powerful than the normal mana which tier 0 beings used.

Astral Mana was what made most tier 1 beings to be feared by tier 0 beings since it also strengthened the bodies of tier 1 to tier 3 individuals by a lot.

Also, when a tier 0 undergoes a tier up to tier 1 or to be more precise, an evolution to tier 1, the person gains a mana core in their dantian which is where the mana of tier 1 and above is stored.

'Although astral mana strengthens the body of tier 1 to tier 3 beings by a lot, if their foundation is low and poor, it won't matter in the end.'

'Even a tier 0 can defeat a tier 1 as long as he's smart.'

Corey thought as he looked at the translucent screen with a determined glint in his eyes.

'Since I'm a Paragon, my limit should be extremely high and I should definitely capitalize on that.'

Corey thought and just as he had this thought, the face of Anna and the Pope appeared in his eyes. A tinge of his killing intent spilled out and he clenched his fists subconsciously.

Justin who was lying on the bed naked, turned his head towards Corey and frowned slightly.

'To achieve the strength, the power where nobody would ever be able to kill me or harm my loved ones, I need to make use of every advantage I have.'

'I'll try to maximize all my stats for every tier there is.'

Corey thought with a determined glint in his eyes and he reeled in his killing intent.

Corey looked at the question bar of the translucent screen with furrowed brows for a few seconds, then with a sigh he looked at the other tabs on the translucent screen.

'Although I want to ask questions, I don't know whether my value points is small or a lot. I should not waste it.'

Corey thought then his eyes went to the leaderboard ranking tab.

His curiosity taking over him, he tapped on it, somewhat expecting a pop up asking for payment but surprisingly it didn't.

Five names appeared before him on the translucent screen.

[1. Leader of The Legion of Nightmare, Savage]

[2. Leader of The Destroyers of Darkness, Pamela]

[3. Leader of The Embodiment of Lust, Asmodeus]

[4. Leader of The Devourers, Prince]

[5. Divine]

"…"

'Divine is part of the top five?'

Corey thought with his brows raised in slight surprise.

Although he knew that there was something strange regarding Divine, it was still slightly shocking to him that Divine was part of the top five of the Underworld.

'I wonder what is tier is.'

Corey thought with a slight frown then he dismissed his thoughts and looked at the bottom part of Divine's name on the translucent screen.

"So if I want to know more names on the leaderboard ranking, I have to pay twenty value points?"

Corey muttered with a soft shake of his head and a second later, he pressed the side button on the Watch of the Underworld and the translucent screen disappeared.

'So the side button is the power button.'

Corey noticed this then he decided to bring up his status window once again.

Looking at his status window, especially his skills, Corey had a slight frown.

'The Underworld should have a library or at least a place where I can get defensive skills.'

'I'm seriously lacking in the defensive department. I need defensive skills.'

Corey thought but then a thought appeared in his mind.

'When was the last time I slept?'

'It's surprising that I haven't slept for quite some time and I'm not tired.'

'Maybe another benefit of been a Demi-Paragon?'

Corey thought then a few seconds later, he dismissed it and stood from his bed and walked out of his residence.

Justin who had his eyes closed opened it and glanced at Corey's leaving back.

He looked at the closing door then a few seconds later, he closed his eyes back.
