8th day of September, Year 208 of the Astanian Calendar.

    Alaric had just completed his daily mission.

    He opened his character profile to check his progress.

    Alaric Silversword [Knight] EXP: 6/500

    Potential: B

    Traits: Horseback Riding (D), Swordsmanship (SSS), Close Combat (D), Archery (F), Hunting (E), Tracking (F)

    Strength: 28+

    Stamina: 28+

    Agility: 25+

    Vitality: 27+

    Endurance: 27+

    Mana: 13+

    Battle Points: 360

    Stat Points: 35

    (Requirements for next advancement: 500 EXP, 100 in all attributes, and 5000 Battle Points)

    If I continue with this pace, I should be able to advance to the realm of Elite Knight in less than two years.

    Having the ability to see my progress is definitely convenient.

    Alaric smiled as he closed his character profile. He then went to observe Rasmus who was receiving training from Henry.

    Rasmus was a sword user in his past life so having him train with Henry was the best choice.

    The old Knight might not be a genius in mana control, but he was an expert in using the sword. Just in pure sword technique alone, he might even be better than House Silversword''s commander of the Knights who was already in the realm of Elite Knight!

    While he was observing the training, he saw Elena running towards him with a flustered look on her face.

    "My lord!" She called out.

    "Why are you in such a hurry? Did something happen?" Alaric raised an eyebrow.

    Elena grabbed his hand nervously and said. "Lord Charles is here, my lord!"

    When Alaric heard this name from her mouth, his eyes flashed with imperceptible rage.

    Charles Silversword was the younger brother of Lucas Silversword which makes him Alaric''s uncle.

    The very person that he hated the most.

    If he is allowed to grow, he might be the one to succeed Lucas''s position. I can''t let that happen!

    Suddenly...

    Knock! Knock! Knock!

    "Speak of the devil! It must be him! Hahaha!"

    Lucas was about to get up to open the door when Charles made a hand gesture. "Let me do it. I''d like to see how my nephew has grown up."

    Hearing this, Lucas nodded and waved his hand. "Sure."

    After getting his permission, Charles stood up and went to open the door.

    Alaric suppressed the fury in his heart when he saw Charles''s face.

    There was no meaning in confronting his uncle now. Doing so would only alarm him.

    "Alaric! How have you been? You look completely different than the last time I saw you!" Charles affectionately hugged which made Alaric feel disgusted.

    "I''m fine, uncle!" Alaric squeezed out a smile.

    "Would you look at this kid? He is even taller than me now!" Charles turned his head to Lucas and chuckled.

    What a good actor! To think that all of us were fooled by this traitorous bastard! It makes me sick!

    "What are you standing there for? Come in! Your uncle wants to have a chat with you." Charles grabbed his shoulder and pulled him to a seat.

    Right at this moment, the cyan screen abruptly appeared in front of him.

    ——

    Alaric''s eyes were glued over to the screen.

    A mission? The rewards are even better than the daily missions.

    "Uncle, how about a spar to test your nephew''s skills?" Alaric stared deeply at Charles.

    "Huh?"
