"You don't have to worry so much, even if this is a very unexpected event, I'm sure that nothing should happen considering that the military has already taken care of the situation." the dungeon break, humanity will adapt in a much better way than before.

‘’ Huh? Yes, the Young Master must be right. ’’ Lillia spoke with an obviously forced smile, making it clear that she is trying to force herself to appear calm.

She had the same reaction in my past life, she was probably worried that something might happen to me.

Pretending I believed she was normal, I continued on towards my room. However, when I was almost there, I noticed an open door that led to a messy and pink room. Inside that room, on top of a large bed, was a little girl, who appeared to be about 13 years old, huddled and shivering under the covers.

Chloe?

Chloe Ballard, the youngest daughter of the president of the Ballard Corporation, good grades, an appearance that practically predicted how beautiful she would be in the future and a somewhat isolated personality but when you get close to her, you realize how lovely she is.

Immediately I stopped in front of the door, knocked twice to say I was there and asked:

'' Chloe, are you okay? ’’

‘’ H-Huh? Noah !? N-It's nothing, no need to worry! ’’ Chloe replied almost screaming, looking surprised by my sudden appearance.

‘’ M-But what about you? How was your trip to Japan? ’’ Chloe said, trying to get away from it.

Realizing that she was obviously lying, I went into her room, sat on the end of the bed and with a gentle smile I asked:

‘’ You don’t have to try to get away from it, just talk to me. ’’ I had made a promise to myself that it would change my life this second chance, and improving my relationship with my family was one of my goals.

The moment Chloe heard me, she was a little embarrassed and lowered her head to the sheet she was clinging to. Realizing that she didn't want to say anything, I started looking around the room for a clue, and after a look around, my eyes fell on the TV that was connected to the channel where it showed pictures of the monsters that appeared on the portal.

I immediately understood the situation and with a welcoming smile I said:

‘’ I know these monsters are scary but you don’t have to be afraid of them, you’re totally safe here. ’’

After hearing this she looked at me with a doubtful look and said:

‘’ How are you so sure? ’’

‘‘ Because even if a monster three hundred times more frightening than these appears here, you can be sure that your brother will protect you, no matter what! ’’ I exclaimed while holding my fist and giving a proud smile.

Chloe finally calmed down after hearing those words and removed the sheet that was wrapped around her.

‘’ Ok, I’m a little better now, thanks. ’’

Chloe said with a happy smile on her face.

‘’ Now, I’m going back to my room, if you need anything just call me. ’’ I said while stroking her head.

After that I got up and left her room.

…

Still sitting on the bed, Chloe murmured as he stroked her chin.

‘’ Now that I understand, did something happen? Noah looks different. '

But right after saying that, she shrugged and said:

‘’ Um, something must have happened in Japan. ’’

-------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------- -

And to think that at first Chloe was afraid of monsters.

Seeing her in fear of them was extremely strange, as in the past she was actually one of the 100 strongest warriors on the face of the earth, being in the SSS rank.

‘’ She must have worked hard to overcome her fear and face the monsters face to face in my past life. ’’ I spoke with a warm smile on my face.

In my past life I only became a hunter 6 years after the tragedy, so I was unable to follow and witness my sister's growth ...

But in this life ... I will be sure not to be left behind! I said to myself as I shook my fist.

‘’ ... Well, now I need to think about what to do. If there are no more problems, the next portal is to open on January 10, 2021. ’’

I think now it is better to wait while I plan what to do.

And so the days went by until an unexpected thing happened ...

-------------------------------------------------- --------------------------

9 pm on December 31, 3 am for the New Year.

And to think that it would end up happening ...

I was sitting at a giant table with a lot of food and 10 more people. And these people were respectively:

Chloe Ballard, 13 years old as shown, with long white hair and light blue pupils.

Nicola Ballard, 13, with messy brown hair and green pupils.

Emma Ballard, 15, with short black hair and dark green pupils.

Arthur Ballard, 15, with brown hair and blue pupils.

Alice Ballard, 20, with short silver hair and light green pupils.

Henry Ballard, 20, with straight brown hair, glasses and green pupils.

Ayla Ballard, 23, with long silver hair and dark blue pupils.

Eric Ballard, 23, with black, muscular hair and green eyes.

Scarlett Ballard, 43, white hair and blue eyes, Noah's mother.

My 8 siblings, my mom at the table, however what really worried me was…

Adam Ballard, black hair and blue eyes, a height of 187 cm, an athletic physique, a dominant pressure, sharp eyes and ... Noah's father.

Everyone at the table was nervous as they looked at Adam, waiting for him to explain why he had gathered them here.

Usually the family get together to celebrate the new year is normal, except for the Ballards, the number of times the whole family got together each year could be counted on the fingers, so everyone wanted to know why they were brought here, why more that everyone already had their suspicions ...

''Well…''

By the time Adam spoke, everyone was totally focused on him.

‘’ You must know why I gathered you here, on the night of the 19th in Times Square a gate suddenly appeared, and what can be considered monsters were found inside that gate ... ’’

Just as everyone thought.

‘’ The situation at the corporation was difficult, so I was only able to schedule this ‘’ family reunion ’’ ’’ ’’ ’today

After that my father just explained what happened in the middle of this incident, what it could affect the corporation, the information about the military's fight against monsters and finally ...

‘’ Strange crystals have also been found within these monsters. ’’

The moment he said that, everyone's eyes widened a little, except for Noah.

Just as I thought, they already found out about the awakening crystals. The father must have used some connections to get this information.

‘’ It has been discovered that there is an unidentified energy within these crystals. ’’

‘’ A very abnormal thing about this crystal has also been discovered. ’’

As soon as he said that, everyone was anxious thinking about what it could be.

Wait, it can't be ... right?

‘’ When you ingest these crystals it looks like you become what they call the Warrior, a being with superhuman powers .. ’’

‘’ !!! ’’

All those in attendance opened their eyes wide.

Many would think that this is a pure lie, but it was not just anybody who said it, it was Adam Ballard, someone who would never play with that kind of thing.

While everyone was processing the surprising information, only one thing passed through Noah's mind ...

Damn it! How did they find out so quickly !? It should take at least another month to find out! Did having finished the dungeon before normal changed the world so much !?

‘’ Apparently by becoming a Warrior you gain access to a method that allows you to constantly evolve. ’’

‘’ And in the face of all these events, experts think monsters stronger than those will come. ’’

‘’ And only Warriors will be able to face them. ''

After saying this, my father pulled out a suitcase that had been beside him since the beginning of the meeting and placed it on the table.

Everyone, including me, fixed the eye on the suitcase, and when my father opened the suitcase 11 crystals were revealed.

What? How did my father get so many Crystals? Even though I faced that whole dungeon, I only acquired 12. Ah! As I recall, the more people facing the dungeon, the more crystals will be dropped. But for him to have acquired 11 crystals, and it hasn't been even 2 weeks since the dungeon appeared, it must have cost at least more than $ 100 million each. Some would consider this a loss in the future, but the advantage that can be gained from this is very good.

But wait, did he buy these 11 crystals for us?

The moment I thought of myself ingesting another crystal of awakening, I shivered. There were some cases of people who had a second awakening, these people were those who had 2 types of energy, ie, aura and mana. I also have 2 types of energy in my past life, but ...

What if I lost the Aura when I returned? People who ingested another crystal and didn't have 2 types of energy burst into pieces, but even among people who had 2 types of energy, only 10% of them managed to get a second awakening, so I never tried that in my past life ...

When I was totally nervous, my father said:

‘’ So that you don’t take risks in the future, I want you all to consume these crystals. ’’

‘’ !! ’’

That was the phrase that everyone expected to hear, but were still surprised.

‘’ Dear, are you sure it’s safe to consume these stones? ’’

My mother obviously asked, worried that something would happen to her children.

But my dad didn't bother to answer and just took the crystal and threw it inside.

''Dear!!''

''Father!!''

''Father!!''

When everyone was worried about him, my dad just looked and said:

‘’ Did you see? You don’t have to worry. ’’

Soon after that, my father distributed the crystals to everyone. As soon as they got it, my brothers stared at the crystal until they finally got up and swallowed.

After that, everyone was stunned looking ahead, probably seeing the system window. But I couldn't see their reactions because I was looking at the crystal while I was sweating.

When my father realized this he said:

‘’ No need to be afraid Noah, nothing will happen. ’’

‘’ ... ’’

The moment my father said that, everyone was looking at me. I had no idea what excuse to use to get away with that and there was only a 10% chance that I wouldn't die, and I still had another system, what could end up happening?

Shit, what do I do? And if I die? Who can guarantee another chance will be given to me ...

 Ah, damn it! Let's just do this!

I just ignored all the odds and swallowed the crystal!
