In an instant, a multitude of information surged through his brain. Due to his Innate Ability, the Purple God Eyes, his memory was enhanced. Thus, the information sent to him was engraved into his brain.

'Everything that Shaun said was true. Not only in Irosin, but the whole planet has these monsters.' He expected it since he believed his brother's words.

'So that man had Red Eyes which are classified as a Rank B SMB. They are very strong and could smash a house with just a punch!'

Shin exclaimed in shock.

'From the information that the System had gathered, there were 6 ranks. E,D,C,B,A and S With eye colors Yellow, Orange, Green, Red, Black and Blue. Yellow (E) being the weakest while Blue (S) being the most powerful. Although how powerful to be exact, is uncertain.'

'There is no A rank SMB in Irosin. Only B ranks and the number is only two...'

'There is also this thing called Crystal Stone. It was unearthed by the scientists 1 year later after we discovered it. When that radiation hit the townsfolk, this crystal got rid of the pain.'

'There are two types of this crystal stone. Crystal Stone was the crystal that can be exchanged into money. The other crystal is called Divine Crystal Stone. This crystal was also the object that gave normal humans the chance to become an SMB. Apparently, when a human who experienced the radiation touched this crystal, the crystal would emit an unidentified energy that enhances the human's body and gives them the capability to exhibit powers that surpasses the normal human limits.'

'Every half a kilogram of Crystal Stone can be exchanged for five thousand pesos. However, it can only be mined in dungeons. Thus, it became a national currency in recent year. Making the profession of being an SMB bloom as it has high risk and high reward.'

'A Divine Crystal Stone however, isn't a normal commodity. It was used in the medical and research field. But that didn't mean it wasn't possible to buy it. A kilogram of this Divine Crystal Stone was priced at 1,000,000 pesos or 100kg of Crystal Stone.'

'Of course, to the citizens that were ill due to the radiation, it was free. This was an Ironclad rule that was decided upon by the current SMB World Association Leader. But to the citizens that wanted to purchase it to awaken their abilities. It wasn't free and a person can only buy one per head.'

'Also'

He took out the card that the doctor gave him.

"Irosinian Guild" had a name on the card.

'Irosinian? Like the ship?'

'This Irosinian Guild was a place where one would get their license to raid dungeons.'

'So you need a license to raid dungeons huh?'

'This is also where you go to when you want to see if you are an SMB'

And then there was this thing called Crystal. They were unearthed by the scientists two years ago.

It was said to be the crystal that

"Ringgggggg.... Ring...." A phone rang. This was the phone that they dedicated for calling with house affairs.

'It's still alive huh?' Shin looked at it in nostalgia.

"Hello?" A woman's voice was heard.

"Ah yes Hello?" Shin answered.

"Is this Reyna Salazar's relative?" The woman asked.

Reyna Salazar. Shin and Shaun's mother.

"Yes this is her son. " Shin answered.

"Oh, hello Shaun" the woman said nicely.

"No this isn't Shaun. This is his brother, Shin."

"Oh my..." The woman's voice trembled.

"Shin.... I have something to tell you. Your mother, she-"

"She's in critical condition."

BANG! It was like his world turned upside down. His complexion turned unsightly as his heart pounded madly.

"WHAT?! WHAT HAPPENED?? WHERE IS SHE?" Shin asked anxiously.

"Come to the District Hospital" the woman said.

Shin's heart beat as fast as it could.

He dropped the phone and then rushed as fast as he could to the hospital. It was quite a distance away. Maybe almost 2km away. Unfortunately for him, he didn't have any money to hitch a ride since he was asleep for three years.

Shin ran as fast as he could.

[Ding Ding! Warning! Stamina is constantly depleting. 90...80...76...]

[Ding Ding! Fatigue is increasing! 5...16...23...]

'Dammit!'

'System, how can I reach the hospital in the least amount of time?'

[Ding Ding! Suggesting to activate Innate Ability Purple God Eyes.]

'Right! I have an Innate Ability!'

He thought back to that ethereal state. The power that he felt coursing through his veins.

'Purple God Eyes Activate' Shin thought to himself.

In an instant, the world became much clearer. Power surged through his body. It felt like he was energized. His eyes glowed purple. His speed instantaneously increased.

[Ding Ding! Purple God Eyes Activated. Remaining time: 55 seconds]

[Ding Ding! Fatigue is increasing! 35...50...60...]

[Ding Ding! All stats increased by 15,000!]

A message popped up.

He didn't have time to look at it as he ran as fast as he could. The ground that he stepped on cracked by the sheer power of his legs. That step of his when he just activated the Purple God Eyes shattered the ground and formed a small circle like when a meteor just crashed down.

In a few seconds, he went from Barangay tabon-tabon to the former center of Irosin, Barangay San Julian.

There were people outside and they didn't see Shin as the only thing that they saw was a blur with a part that glowed purple.

Shin passed by a man and the man tumbled a few steps because of the wind that Shin generated.

"What in the hell was that!?" The man shouted fearfully.

Even the leaves were tilted towards where Shin was running to. After a few more seconds, Shin finally arrived at the hospital. There were still 40s remaining until Purple God Eyes ended.
