Synopsis

The chapter reveals that the protagonist's crystal is a unique circular shape, suggesting a power level beyond known ranks, possibly even Star Rank. He also gains a new and powerful, albeit disturbing, 'Kin Absorption' ability, which allows him to absorb the abilities of defeated enemies. Simultaneously, Sejong Laboratory, the ability research center, is keenly interested in him and attempting to manipulate the public eye to conceal his existence due to his unique and potentially game-changing power. He and his friends also discuss purchasing a secure research space and gather information about their opponents.
