Landlord World - Start with SSS talent-Chapter 326: Let me give you a name
The shard of fate belonging to Jankos, like a piece of glass, floated in midair before him.
Jankos was in such pain that his teeth clenched tightly, sweat pouring off him like rain, and the veins on his neck stood out clearly, like tangled roots.
The shard of fate suddenly transformed into countless motes of light, which began to restructure themselves once more, becoming mystical magical symbols.
Those symbols surrounded Jankos's entire body, beginning to transform him.
An image resembling an insect suddenly appeared above Jankos's head.
The image was extremely faint, as though shrouded by thick fog—only the head was visible.
It lowered its head, gazing at Jankos, its eyes filled with greed and disdain, as if it were looking at a piece of garbage.
Then, it turned into a wisp of smoke, slowly merging into Jankos's body.
"AGH!" Jankos felt even more pain, as if his body was about to explode.
He clutched his head with both hands, hoping to lessen the agony, but it was all in vain.
Fresh blood poured from his eyes, nose, ears, and mouth, drenching his face in blood.
"Huew!" Jankos suddenly opened his mouth wide, vomiting out a chunk of bright red flesh that was still moving.
Startled, he looked closer and realized it was his own stomach. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎
Jankos was terrified, his face twisted in utter horror, but he could not stop.
The nausea returned; he opened his mouth and vomited out all his internal organs.
The blood and flesh he spewed out formed a chaotic pile like red mud, exuding a horrific stench.
Jankos was so frightened he was in utter despair—he never imagined he would suddenly encounter something so horrific.
He half-closed his eyes, and just as he thought death was coming to claim his life, the magical symbols clinging to his body suddenly turned into a magical cocoon, wrapping around him completely.
...
At this moment, Noan naturally could not sense what the other 'Fate Holders' were experiencing.
However, in that brief instant, as the dragon-skull-shaped gate was opened, he was startled to find himself being pulled into a pitch-black space.

Rank: B
Description: Although a Hero, Abyss Cube functions much like a weapon.
When the Lord carries it (in any form), their strength increases by 50% and they can ignore all magic or defensive equipment of rank B or lower.
Soldiers and Heroes owned by the Lord receive a 25% increase in strength and a 25% increase in their ability to bypass magic/defensive gear.
*Note: This Hero currently cannot evolve.]
Seeing the Abyss Cube's description, Noan immediately felt joy. He looked at the woman, and with satisfaction, said, "Hahaha… thank you."
"This is my duty," she replied, her voice and eyes filled with gentleness. "I'm sorry to burden you with such a heavy mission."
Hearing this, Noan sighed and waved his hand. "Alright, let's not talk about that. When I came to this world, I already knew there's no such thing as a free meal."
"I can also sense that endlessly running away isn't the best way to escape trouble. I'll face it."
"At the very least… I have someone to support me, right?"
The mysterious woman nodded, smiling, "That's right. For now, I can't tell you all the secrets of this world."
"When you become stronger, I promise I'll tell you everything."
Noan nodded and said, "If telling me now would put me in danger, then there's no need."
"For now, I just need to know who I'm fighting, who my enemies and allies are. That's enough."
"Ah! Wait! I still don't know your name."
Hearing this, a hint of sorrow flashed across her face. "I… I don't have a name."
"Heh!? How can that be…" Noan said in confusion. "You really don't have a name?"
"That's right." The woman nodded gently and said, "Though, it's not that I never had a name. It's just been so long… I've forgotten what it was."
"Everyone calls me Fate Hunter, or sometimes Betrayer."
Upon hearing this, Noan tilted his head, frowned, thought for a moment, and then said, "Then… let me give you a name."
