Landlord World - Start with SSS talent

When Janky heard the mage say that the Third Elder's mind had been shattered, the first thing that came to his mind was… he couldn't believe it.

Indeed, he didn't believe what the girl had just said.

It must be known that although the Third Elder's combat strength wasn't high, his fighting methods were incredibly unique. Even when facing powerful Heroes or high-ranking Lords, he could fight evenly or even easily escape.

The Third Elder was a Lord belonging to the Support Class, but his strength came from attacking the mind. His warriors also belonged to the spiritual system, so the Third Elder's spirit was incredibly tough, like a mountain that could not be destroyed.

But now, this mage was saying that the Third Elder's mind had been shattered, and Janky couldn't believe it.

Was this a joke? Or had he gone mad? The Third Elder, whose strength was purely based on mental attacks, had his mind shattered by the enemy.

If people said a pig could climb a tree, Janky might believe that more easily than this story.

But the truth was the truth.

Right before him, the Third Elder sat motionless, his eyes wide open, emotionless, not moving a finger.

He knew the mage was right, but his mind couldn't accept it.

"Damn it!" Janky gritted his teeth, his hands clenched so tightly that they turned white. "Who the hell is targeting my clan?"

He knew that normal Lords couldn't do something like this.

Unless it was a large organisation or high-ranking Lords, those powerful enough to make Janky feel fear.

Only those people could do something like this.

Janky tried to dig through his memories, wondering which organisation could be responsible for this.

But no matter how much he thought about it, he couldn't find a fitting name.

Janky had hidden himself very well. On the outside, he was friendly, easy-going, and did not care about fame, so he didn't have many enemies.

He clenched his fists in anger, reaching a breaking point, but in the end, he could only sigh and give the order: "Take the Third Elder back, continue searching for the whereabouts of the Fourth Elder."

"Yes!" The other members of the clan bowed their heads in response.

Janky looked into the distance, muttering: "I don't know who you are, but if you've chosen to oppose the Frankyro clan, I will make you regret it."

…

The next morning, Noan woke up, feeling two soft masses pressed against his chest, accompanied by a fragrance that made him dizzy with pleasure.

He lowered his head and saw Vylyss resting her head on his arm, her soft and full chest pressed against his, with two adorable pink cherry blossom-shaped flowers on her chest, tightly pressed against his own.

Noan let out a long sigh, feeling overwhelming satisfaction in his heart.

Yesterday, he and Vylyss had been so passionate that no one could hold them back. Only when Vylyss was full to the point where she could no longer accept any more "milk" from Noan did he finally stop.

Noan rubbed his forehead, opening his system interface as he remembered receiving a new notification yesterday.

However, he had been too focused on battling with Vylyss to check the notification at that time.

[Ding! You have received a new notification from the system. Do you want to view it?]

"Yes!"

Immediately, a notification appeared in front of Noan.

[Notification to all Lords: Area 27 of Lords Rank E and F will be merged with areas 25, 26, 28, 29, and 30.

The highest rank limit for Lords in this area is Peak of rank D.

New features and events will be announced once the Lords enter the Chaos World.]

[Ding! Your rank limit has been lifted. You can now advance to the highest rank, Peak of rank D.]

Noan saw the notification and immediately felt overjoyed. He happily opened his personal information screen.

…

Noan looked at the number of Landlord's points required to advance to Rank D, which was 10,000, and felt a bit weary.

However, he quickly regained his focus. He knew he couldn't afford to stay the same as before. He had to become stronger, much stronger.

If the treasure chests didn't provide Landlord's points, Noan would have no choice but to eliminate other Lords instead.

After deciding, Noan gave the order: "Advance!"

[Ding! Do you wish to spend 10,000 Landlord's points to advance to Rank D?]

"Accept!"

[Ding! Payment successful, the advancement process is starting. Please wait a moment.]

Noan could feel the power within his body increasing at an incredible rate.

Not only was it double what it was before, but his strength continued to rise.

Vylyss also noticed something was happening. She widened her eyes and looked at Noan.

At that moment, she waved her hand, and a dark veil of night covered the entire room, preventing anyone from detecting what was happening.

Malrik appeared as well. He stood on top of the building, the black book in his hand, began flipping to a specific page.

After a moment, the book stopped, and a strange character flew out from within the pages, transforming into countless particles of light that enveloped the entire room where Noan was.

Noan could feel that Malrik and Vylyss were helping him conceal the fact that he was advancing, so he relaxed and immersed himself in the strange sensation.

Each of his cells became stronger and filled with energy.

[Ding! Congratulations! You have reached Rank D.]

[Ding! The rank limit has been unlocked. You can now advance to Level 5.]

[Ding! The 'Almighty Fusion' innate ability has gained a new feature – 'Core Fusion'

Description: Now, you can merge mutated soldiers if you meet the necessary conditions for fusion.

After fusion, the mutated soldiers retain their consciousness, without being replaced by another evolutionary form.]

[Ding! Class Whisper of the Forgotten (SS+) has gained an additional listening ability.]

After ten minutes, the evolution process was complete. Noan let out a light sigh, focusing on feeling the power inside his body.

In addition, he noticed that the 'Almighty Fusion' ability had gained the feature he had been hoping for, making him feel even more joyful.

"Now I can evolve the Mutant Skeletons along with Urlgan and Urlgug," Noan murmured.

After all, Urlgan and Urlgug had been with him since he became a Lord, and he never wanted to leave them behind. On the contrary, he always wanted to find a way to make them stronger, but he had yet to find a solution.

Now, thanks to the 'Core Fusion' feature, he could strengthen them.

Noan didn't rush; instead, he looked at his rank and realised he could advance to Level 5 immediately, which made him even happier.

"System, how many resources are required to upgrade to Level 5?"

[Ding! To upgrade to Level 5, you need 1,000 Rank D energy crystals.]

Noan rubbed his chin, relieved he had enough energy crystals for the upgrade.

"Upgrade!"

[Ding! Upgrade in progress!]

Noan could feel his strength continuing to increase, but at the same time, he saw the black space from before.

"This is..."
