A figure cloaked in shadows sat hunched over a holographic interface at a corner table. Dante approached, his presence going unnoticed for a few moments. When he cleared his throat, the figure looked up, revealing sharp blue eyes that seemed to pierce through the darkness.
The figure regarded Dante with cautious curiosity, as if evaluating his intentions and assessing his potential threat. Dante met the gaze head-on, his expression calm and natural.
"I've heard you're the one to talk to if I want to make a big impact on the world." Dante said, his voice low and meaningful.
The figure's lips curved into a subtle smirk. "And what kind of impact are you aiming for?"
"Chaos." Dante replied without hesitation.
"I want to shake things up, expose the truth, and set events in motion that will rattle the foundations of this world." Dante explained as he folded his arms.
The figure leaned back in their seat, not seeming surprised that Dante would want such a thing, his fingers tapping rhythmically on the holographic display. "Bold words, but do you have what it takes? What's in it for me?"
Dante reached into a pouch at his side and retrieved the strange rectangular device, the Controller. He placed it on the table, pushing it toward the figure.

He moved to sit opposite the hooded figure and smiled. "It's a device that can control mutant monsters below the B rank. With my abilities and resources, I can provide you with more powerful tools and opportunities to further your own goals."
The figure's gaze shifted to the device, their eyes narrowing into needle points as they clearly shocked but forced themselves not to show it overtly. "Impressive. However, control over mutants alone won't satisfy me. I deal in information, secrets that can shift the balance of power."
Dante nodded. "I have access to information that can expose the sinister plans of the Apocalypse Research Syndicate. I know their key facilities, their leadership, and their twisted experiments. I want you to help me spread this information far and wide, to every faction in this city and beyond."
The figure considered Dante's proposition for a moment, their fingers tapping a rapid pattern on the holographic display. Finally, they leaned forward, their eyes locked onto Dante's.
"Very well. We have an agreement. I will help you disseminate this information, create chaos, and sow the seeds of discord among the factions. In return, you provide me with the tools and resources I need to consolidate my own power and influence."
Dante extended his hand, and the figure hesitated only briefly before clasping it in a firm shake. The deal was sealed, and a partnership forged in the shadows of The Nexus.
Dante said no more and left, feeling the burning gaze of the person behind him on his back. That fellow had not known someone like him existed before today, but from this moment on, they would probably do everything in their power to investigate Dante.
Once back in the city, he actually did not browse around much. He only went to purchase a powerful weapon that was mixed with some special materials that could allow it to cut through the defenses of stronger mutants.
It was naturally another halberd since he quite liked this style of weapon. After all, the halberd was an elite weapon that could smash, bash, cut, slice, or pierce. It had the benefits of a spear, an axe, and a sword all in one.
The reason why it wasn't popularly used was because of the strength required to even lift it as well as the skill to use it without cutting yourself in half. Spears were the normal choice for warriors since they could have the length feature as well as the piercing feature, and it was much lighter.
Dante left the city without looking back and moved through the wasteland at abhorrent speeds. Whenever he encountered a monster, he would destroy it and then absorb what he could from it, using it to raise his intelligence bit by bit.
ραΠdαsΝοvel.cοm Eventually, he managed to max it out and was satisfied with his achievement so far. He reached the outpost and then chose to leave his virtual body on the bed in the room while making sure it was well-defended before logging out and taking his real body away.
This ironically meant that his virtual body was reduced to 1 point in all fields since it had never increased on its own. Dante didn't care about this, as he didn't even plan to see that foolish information broker again.
Dante sneered to himself. An item like the controller was enough to buy his dog life and that of his entire clan yet he dared to pretend it wasn't enough? He was lucky Dante was not bloodthirsty or he would have been cut in pieces.
Anyway, the fellow should be smart if he worked in that business. Knowing that strength level required to acquire such an item, he wouldn't dare seek out Dante even if Dante did not appear again while fulfilling his promise to spread the information.
Or the next time Dante descended, he would eat a halberd to the face.
Dante got up from his bed in his residence and decided to whip up some food to stimulate his taste buds.
While he could use energy bars, they did not replace the need to good tasting food every now and then.
While it was getting ready, he decided to check his SDI in reality.
