It was 7 A.M in the morning, and Asher suddenly woke up with cold sweat.

"Argh," Asher groaned as he picked himself up and massaged his head because of the headache he was getting.

"CALM THE F*CK DOWN!! I can change the future," Asher shouted to himself while clutching his head with his trembling hands.

It seemed like he stopped having those dreams after coming back in time, but the recent painful experience awakened his bad memories. He stood up and changed his clothes to some new casual ones and went outside to have breakfast with his family.

He took the stairs down to the living room and entered the dining room. Arthur and Sylvie were already waiting for him and were chatting with each other. Sylvie saw Asher entering and got excited.

"Congratulations, Ash, on your awakening. It seems like you broke the record of your grandfather," Sylvie said.

"But it seems like you don't love your mother anymore. I had to hear this news now. Hmph," Sylvie said in a sulky voice.

Asher laughed internally at his mother's little act. He found it cute how his mother behaved like a young girl in front of him. In the future, he could not enjoy such interactions, but now he could.

'Times like these are not so bad,' Asher thought to himself.

"It's not like that, Mom. I was very tired yesterday, and I told Dad to not announce this news because I don't wish for too much attention right now," Asher said with his usual calm face as he pulled his chair back and sat down.

"Yes, you should respect his wishes, Sylvie," Arthur told her while patting her back.

"Okay, fine. It's all good if you plan to announce it on a later date," Sylvie said while eating her breakfast.

"Did you tell Father about the whole thing?" Sylvie asked Arthur.

"Yeah, I contacted him, but it seems like he is still busy exploring the recent SS Rank dungeon outbreak which appeared in the lost lands," Arthur said with a serious voice.

In this world, there were a total of five countries named Somaria, Desmar, Fashia, Belvoria, and Halcyon. The planet was called Earth, which is at least 10 times bigger than our Earth, consisted of each of these countries, which were way bigger than Russia. Desmar was in the northwest, Fashia in the southwest, Belvoria in the southeast, and Halcyon in the northeast and Somaria, which was in the center.

These countries were so big that when the first monster outbreaks happened hundreds of years ago, some land was discarded and was now called the lost lands. These lands were deemed too dangerous by the High Council and were only cleared by S Rank hunters and above.

Asher remembered clearly that the current SS-Rank Dungeon his Grandfather was exploring would be the cause of his death in the coming two months. He needed to convince him somehow to stop the exploration, which was going to be a bit difficult.

[ Does host want to accept the quest (Y/N) ]

Asher didn't mind the quest because he was planning on doing the same anyway. The loss of his Grandfather was the biggest reason for the downfall of the Greville Family.

'Argh, I need to convince that old man to stay home, this will cause me some headaches but I am still gonna do it ' Asher thought in his mind.

*sigh* A sigh left the mouth of Asher and Sylvie noticed it and asked him:

"What happened Ash? Anything troubling you?" Sylvie asked with a hint of worry in her voice.

"I was thinking about meeting Grandfather on my birthday, this coming month but it seems like I would not be able to*sigh*" Asher made little bit of a sulky face intentionally.

'Oh he must be missing the old man' Arthur thought in his mind thinking he saw through his cold face.

Asher purposefully did this little act so that he can trigger the emotions of his parents and they will make sure Nathan attends his birthday. Then Asher just needed to stall him for a week or more.

'System open the quest' Asher was already thinking of ways he will approach this.

[ Do you wish to accept the quest? (Y/N) ]

Asher already knew his answer said 'Yes' in his mind.

Asher remembered about the auction he was going to attend today.

"Mom, I want to start a new company called 'Aztech' using my personal funds under the Abyss guild," Asher said after finishing his food.

"Okay, just tell Stephen about it and all the paperwork will be done. I will also provide you with some funds to start, so feel free to try your hand in various sectors," Sylvie replied as she stood up to leave for work.

The Abyss Guild is owned by the Greville family, and its guildmaster is Nathan Greville. Nathan is often busy handling SS-Rank Dungeons and venturing to dangerous places, so Arthur handles the entire guild administration and everything related to hunters. Sylvie is the CEO of Abyss Enterprises, the industrial branch of the Abyss Guild that ventures into various sectors.

The Greville family's net worth was estimated to be around 250 billion Aurum (AUR) [* note that 1$ = 1AUR ]. The Greville family controls much of Somaria's economy, thanks to part of Sylvie's business related talent and her use of the Raven Family's Information Guild to eliminate opposition. Johnathan Raven, head of the Raven family, dotes on his daughter and has allowed Sylvie to grow Abyss Enterprises to its current heights.

"Thanks, Mom. I will make sure your investment doesn't go to waste," Asher replied as he stood up from his chair.

"Don't worry. I believe in your talent, but if you need any advice, come to me or ask your father about it," Sylvie said as she hugged both Asher and Arthur before leaving.
