Capítulo 709: First Hunt

'The higher you climb, the colder it gets.'

To most, it was a mere quote. A flimsy excuse by the elite to hide their opulence behind the mask of solitude.

Yet, for Caleb Xander, the very definition of that 'elite'—a peak level 7 at the young age of 38 and one of the bright stars of the strongest family—those words couldn't be more true.

He used to be a bright but relatively normal kid. He had friends, he liked a girl and despite the privileged life he was born into, he didn't view others as inferior.

'Life is good. I can go to school, hang out with friends, and spend time with my girlfriend.'

It was the last entry of the diary he maintained during high school.

Then…

Things changed.

Even in school, he was always a tad ahead of his peers. Being a level 1 when they were still unawakened, reaching level 2 when they were barely getting started.
