Child of Light - Volume 12: Chapter 10 - Family and Friends

What the hell is this? What the hell happened here?

How did my room become so ruined after a single night?

The floor and table were covered in dust, his new poster of Zhang Liang Ying that had just been posted on the wall a few days ago had already become yellow and tattered all over. Even Zhang Liang Ying’s beautiful face became monstrous, as if an old devil was looking at him with a terrifying smile.

The walls were covered by a mist of cobwebs and the fruits placed on top of the coffee table were withered and rotted to the point that the mold on them had turned black. The fruits below even seemed to have turned into mush. The aluminium framed window that the landlord had just installed not that long ago was now covered in a layer of white ash and the glass was filled with cracks and covered in dust.

The computer beside his bed was also covered by cobwebs and was accompanied by an empty water glass with a withered worm inside of it.

Dust filled the air making Wei Xiao Bei choke as he tried to breathe.

Everything seemed to be ash gray without any light, as if looking at television static.

After just one night, it seemed like everything in the room had aged for centuries or even millennia.

Mother… is this a dream?

This must be a dream!

- Description from Novelupdates

The day dungeons appeared on Earth, everything changed! From ordinary beasts to monstrous ones, attacks were common throughout the globe, and no one was safe.

After countless studies using these beasts as subjects, Humankind developed a serum capable of awakening incredible abilities in humans, leveling the battlefield.

With the serum came heroes and villains, those who wished to use their powers for good or bad.

The Garmony Upper School was a place for the elite with the sole purpose of creating heroes to fight the villains and explore more of the dungeons after the beast attacks increased for no apparent reason.

Damian Romero, a youth who received the serum after turning 18, yet got no unique ability. It was not uncommon for one to not receive power, but it was still a blow to one's pride.

He went rogue after the news, drinking alcohol and having a good time with women, and it was at that moment, when he was putting his toy to play, he got a surprise.

[All-in-One System Unlocked]

Damian's unique ability was a system with multiple functionalities, but after he studied it, it seemed this system worked with a different type of coin called Erotic Coins!

Improve his body? Buy any item or unique ability from his system's store? All Damian needed was Erotic Coins, and he knew how to earn them!
