Villain: Ultimate Mutation System in the Alternate World

After the exam concluded, all those who passed were instructed to wait at the entrance, where they would receive their cards.

Kelly was also there, having already heard about Reign's performance during the exam.

Now, she looked at Reign in a much more favorable light. She had expected him to do well due to being a divergent, but she was surprised to see him shine even among other exceptional candidates.

And it wasn't just her; almost every female personnel there was deeply impressed by Reign, who had not only broken but also set a new record for this branch.

He was the perfect package: strength, speed, and intelligence. Women tended to be drawn to those they considered good specimens.

Reign embodied all those qualities, except for one uncertainty: his appearance remained hidden behind the cover on his face, leaving others unable to determine his handsomeness.

Funny enough, the person receiving all this attention was currently napping without a care in the world.

On the other hand, the other examinees were restless, pondering what rank they would receive.

They had come here hoping that this opportunity would change their lives for the better, so they aimed for ranks higher than Copper.

After all, Copper rank only granted access to low-paying jobs.

"Zoey," the personnel tasked with issuing the License called out to her.

She walked over to the window where she was handed her a silver card. It was a specialized card meant for accessing the non-restricted areas of the base.

Additionally, it allowed her to tap into the Organization's Local Network for mission acceptance and payment processing.

When Zoey saw her card, she immediately knew she had earned the silver rank. It was a good score considering she was just a newbie.

The rankings were divided into Copper, Bronze, Silver, Gold, White Gold, Platinum, Diamond, and Black.

Advancing in rank was challenging without huge achievements.

Even the Guild Master of this branch held only a Platinum Rank, indicating that higher-tier ranks weren't easily attainable by just anyone.

Normally, Zoey would have been content with her rank. Achieving a Silver right off the bat was a commendable accomplishment.

However, she couldn't help but wonder about Reign's rank. He had consistently broken records in every test, so she believed he deserved at least a Gold rank.

"Why do I keep thinking about him?" Zoey shook her head, her heart racing as she stole a glance at him discreetly.

It was the first time she had encountered someone more impressive than herself, and it stirred up emotions she normally wouldn't feel.

She prided herself on being an independent woman who saw boys as weak and rowdy creatures, including Kyson, whom she perceived as just another somewhat strong, stupid male.

So what was different about Reign?

'Forget about him, forget about him, forget about him,' she scolded herself again, repeating those words as if to remind herself to stop thinking about such trivial matters.

When it was Reign's turn to receive his card, he picked it up and glanced at his rank, finding it to be Gold. He then walked towards Mellisa, who was smiling broadly after seeing his result

"So, is the test over? When can I get my mission?" Reign asked eagerly. He felt a sense of urgency to level up and believed he had been following George and Melissa's plan for too long.

"First, take this. It's the latest phone model. All you need to do is scan the QR code on your card using your phone's camera," Melissa spoke up, her spirits high.

Reign followed his instruction and an app was downloaded, it has a black circular logo in it , and when he open the app , it asked him for a new password.

After entering his password, the screen changed, and now he had access to the group's Social Network.

There, he saw his code name: Rain, his rank: Gold, and the number of missions he had completed [0/0].

There was even a star feature indicating how satisfactory his mission completions were.

"Is this Drab or something?"Reign mused aloud,

"Drab?" Mellisa asked with a confused expression.

"Never mind," Reign shook his head, deciding not to explain in detail an app that existed in his previous world, allowing lazy people to order food and request private drivers.

He was more focused on the app, noting its simple design with a black background and white font that made it easy to read.

The app presented five options:

Name: Rain

Rank : Gold

Mission 0/0

Veiled Points : 1000

>> Mission Panel

>> Recruitment Panel

>>Black Market

>>Veiled Points Shop

The entire HUD was intuitive, allowing him to easily figure out how everything worked.

Mellisa and George simply let him be, observing as he played with the app. He was like a kid who had just discovered a new mobile game, completely absorbed in exploring its features.

Suddenly, his phone vibrated and there was a message notification.

It was an email.

He opened it to find a text message with an attachment.

[From : Guild Master Byron]

[Congrats for passing the test with flying colors]

[Attachments : 10,000 Veiled Points ]

"10,000 Veiled Points? Is that a lot ?" Reign asked Mellisa, unsure of the exchange rate for this type of currency.

"Of course, that's a lot. If you exchange that to credits, it would be 1,000,000 credits. By the way, the initial signing fee for passing the exam is only 250 Veiled Points," Mellisa explained.

"250 Veiled Points?" Reign asked with a confused expression, seeing he already had 1000 Veiled Points before receiving the bonus. "I have 1000," he admitted.

Mellisa was taken aback, realizing her blunder.

This was the first time she had seen someone directly enter the Gold Rank in one go. What she had told Reign was actually the points given to Bronze Rank.

"Ah, right. Let's go and eat. It's your treat for earning so much," she hurriedly changed the topic, hoping to avoid further embarrassment.

"I want to pick a mission first," Reign responded. He didn't need to eat normal food, so it was of no use to him.

"You can do that later," Mellisa said, grabbing his hand and leading him back to the bar.

***

Above the surface, everyone returned to their usual routines, with the examinees who had passed not even discussing what had transpired before.

They just enjoyed the night, ordering drinks and indulging in good food as if it were a festival.

Reign was confused to see this so he tried asking Mellisa about it.

"It's normal," Zoey explained. "The members of the Veiled Night are not allowed to discussing anything related to the organization in public places."

Hearing this, Reign deduced the reason why such an organization, which was obviously knowledgeable about demons, could continue to exist despite the government and the hunter association's efforts to keep the existence of demons hidden from the masses.

Behind the scenes, there must be intricate political maneuvers at play, delicately balancing the interests of various factions while preserving the delicate equilibrium between the organization, the government, and the hunter association.

This revelation brought a sense of relief to Reign.

It meant that he was able to integrate into society more easily than he had anticipated. Without George and Melissa's guidance, he might still be hiding in the forest, constantly on the run.

"Alright, all food and drinks are on me," he declared, a generous (creepy) smile spreading across his face.
