Single Wish: Rise Of The Omniscient Paragon

"Hmm?"

The Guardian of the evolution center who was sitting on the floor with his eyes closed, opened his eyes and looked at the opening doors of the evolution center with raised brows.

He stood and with his arms crossed, he waited.

A few seconds later, he felt his body tremble for a picosecond as he saw an unknown man walk out of the evolution center with a calm gaze.

The Guardian had a deep frown when he saw this unknown man. His posture changed slightly and with a cold tone, he spoke:

"Who are you and how did you enter the evolution center without me knowing?"

Corey tilted his head slightly and his brows were raised in confusion for a second before he remembered that his physique and even his face had changed.

He was no longer the slightly short, slim and average looking kid.

He was taller, bigger and had an extremely handsome face. Even his voice had changed slightly, becoming a little bit deeper.

"I'm Smile Reaper, the kid who entered the evolution center a while back."

Deciding to use the name Smile Reaper since that was the name he gave in his last fight, Corey spoke and the Guardian frowned.

"Smile Reaper?"

The Guardian muttered then an image of a weak looking lean kid with an indifferent expression appeared in his mind and the Guardian looked at Corey before him with a surprised expression.

"You're that thin kid that looked like a stick?"

The Guardian asked with a surprised tone but he received not a single response from Corey, only an indifferent expression was plastered all over Corey's face.

The Guardian frowned slightly as he studied Corey's face.

'There are similarities between him and the skinny looking kid, so he's probably not lying.'

'Also...This would not be the first time that this would happen.'

The Guardian thought but then his brows furrowed deeply.

'His aura is definitely tier 1 but he seems stronger than most tier 1, and his astral mana is also different.'

The Guardian's frown deepened as he had this thought and his eyes became slightly cold when he remembered how his body trembled when the kid before him came out from the evolution center.

He tried to use an inspection skill but he was blocked and his eyes became much colder while also having a glint of confusion in them.

"Show me your status screen or you die."

With an extremely cold tone and a fraction of his killing intent being released, the Guardian spoke but Corey just raised his brows with an expression asking the question- 'What are you trying to do?'

Despite Corey finding the Guardian's killing intent amusing, Corey did not mock him but instead, deactivated the concealing ability of the ring the old man gave.

'I hope Nina wasn't deceiving me.'

Corey thought with a calm expression, then he spoke:

"You can check my status window now."

The Guardian's brows furrowed slightly then he used the inspection skill and his brows became more furrowed.

'Poison Warlock? What sort of class is that?'

The Guardian thought as he looked at the only thing of interest in Corey's status screen.

He glanced at Corey once again with a strange glint in his eyes.

"How were you able to hide your status window from me? That should be impossible for an Underworld Prisoner."

Hearing the Guardian's question, Corey brows furrowed slightly but he didn't speak.

The Guardian seeing that squinted his eyes with a cold look and his killing intent surged once again.

Corey's frown deepened slightly and a second later, he released a soft sigh.

He raised his right hand and with a soft shake of his head, he removed the ring on his finger and a second after he did, the invisible ring became visible and he threw it at the Guardian.

The Guardian seeing the ring coming towards him, caught it with a slightly surprised expression. He tried to inspect the ring but nothing came up.

'It's too high leveled for me to inspect?'

The Guardian thought with shock and greed.

He looked around a few times and with a greedy expression, he kept the ring in his inventory.

He looked at Corey and a fraction of his killing intent subconsciously spilled out, causing Corey to frown.

"You better not do anything stupid."

Corey warned with a calm and indifferent expression and the Guardian frowned slightly.

Corey seeing that, spoke once again without waiting for the Guardian to speak or react.

"Do you think the top powers of the Underworld wouldn't know that my status screen could not be seen?"

"Do you think you're the first person to know this?"

Corey questioned with a calm and indifferent expression while folding his arms.

Without waiting for the Guardian's response once again, Corey continued speaking:

"The top powers of the Underworld are most likely watching my every move, wondering what is my secret and how I could hide my stats, so do you think killing me is a very wise move?"

"What if one of the top powers is interested in me? Can you bear the consequences or the wrath of the person if you kill me?"

Hearing Corey's words, the Guardian started sweating and looked around with an anxious expression.

Corey seeing the Guardian's anxious expression sighed then he took a step, wanting to leave.

But just as he was about to pass the Guardian, the Guardian held his shoulder and spoke with a slightly cold and slightly anxious tone.

"Where do you think you're going?"

Corey frowned as he looked at the Guardian's hand on his shoulder and with a tone that contained slight coldness, he spoke.

"I thought I told you the consequences of killing me."

The Guardian trembled slightly as Corey's aura which was now extremely different was released, but then his eyes became cold a second later.

"Do you think you can escape your Fate of not wearing the Watch of the Underworld?"

Hearing the Guardian's words, Corey frowned then he remembered when Divine told him that he could not escape wearing the Watch of the Underworld no matter what.

Corey glanced at the Guardian and tried to use Record but his eyes didn't change.

'As expected.'

Corey thought then with a calm expression, he removed the Guardian's hand from his shoulder and spoke:

"Give me."

The Guardian frowned hearing Corey's extremely calm and authoritative tone as Corey removed his hand from Corey's shoulder.

Without saying anything, he spread out his palm and a silver watch appeared on his palm.

He stretched out his hand, gesturing for Corey to pick the silver watch which was the Watch of the Underworld.

Corey looked at it for a few seconds, then he took it and just as he did, the Guardian spoke with a cold tone:

"Wear it."

Corey glanced at the Guardian then without saying anything, he wore it and when he did, he frowned.

"Only authorized Underworld Officials can remove the watch. You can never remove it."

The Guardian explained with a cold tone and without waiting for Corey to respond, he walked to the evolution center and sat in a cross-legged position with his eyes closed.

Corey looked at the Guardian for a few seconds before he also left without saying anything.

A few seconds after Corey left, the Guardian opened his eyes and looked at the departing figure of Corey with cold eyes.

"What an arrogant bastard."

The Guardian muttered then he brought out Corey's spatial ring and looked at it with eyes filled with greed and anxiety.

"I should give this to the higher-ups. I can't take chances with what the bastard said. There's a possibility of him been right."

The Guardian muttered then he tapped on the Watch of the Underworld and spoke some words for some seconds. Later, he closed his eyes and the surroundings around the evolution center became entirely quite.

(Meanwhile Corey)

After walking for around twenty minutes, Corey stood in front of his house or to be exact, his residence which just looked like a small bungalow building that had a dirty brown color.

Corey looked around for a few seconds, making sure that everything was alright and there was no trap or ambush, then he walked to the door of his house and just as he did, the door slid open to the left.

But just as it was opening, something strange happened.

Corey squinted his eyes and his brows were deeply furrowed as he heard grunts and moans coming from inside his house.

He brought out his black dual battle axes and with cold eyes, he walked into his house, fully on guard for any unexpected situation.

But just as Corey entered, an extremely stunned and baffled expression appeared on Corey's face as he stood rooted on the spot and saw the source of the grunts and moans in his house.

On a bed that was opposite his, were two naked men having sex.

One was on his stomach, with his buttocks raised as the other man who had a lean physique but had extremely well defined muscles roughly pounded the other man who looked thin and malnourished.

The man who was moving his waist repeatedly stopped and frowned slightly.

He looked at the door and when he saw Corey, his eyes became cold and with a cold tone, he spoke:

"Who are you?"
