Looking down from the peak of the mountain, Max started running without hesitation and jumped out of the edge.
He started free-falling and, after gaining speed, he spread his wings.
Wooosh!
Max started flying straight, flapping only a few times to increase his speed.
On land, Max's speed limit is around 500 k/h, but now he is already at 600 k/h and still going faster.
Max relished every moment of the experience as he looked down upon the world, speeding up and feeling the exhilarating rush of the wind.
'Whaoo faster.'
"huh? What the.? "
Max was stunned by the sudden voice in his mind, only to realize it was Lucy.
"huh, I forgot you were watching, enjoy the show."
Max started accelerating faster and faster, reaching His limit at 800 k/h.
"hahaha, with this speed, we'll be there in no time."
Max didn't think he'd ever be riding any type of vehicle ever again.
Soon enough, Kain-city was within sight And Max started slowing down.
"we are here guys, are ready for shopping?"
Max could hear the excited voices at the back of his mind, but suddenly a prompt interrupted him.
[Ding, reporting …
According to the host's instructions, coordinates of a world that fit the parameters you indicated were detected.
Would you like to lock this world?.]
Max abruptly stopped mid-flight, generating a strong gust of wind.
After a 3 seconds pause, he turned back and started flying towards the wilderness again.
Please don't joke around. With the choice to do so in hand, isn't it better to stay in the mountain reaching the S or SSS-Rank before heading back to human territory, taking charge and slapping every opposition with one finger?
Alright, maybe the S-rank and above were too much because of the simulator's unpredictability.
But isn't it wiser to reach the B or A-rank, than grab some random passerbys and forced them to work for you doing your chores, buying stuff and doing miscellaneous works?

The pets were confused by Max's actions, but he just ignored them.
While flying, He opened the simulator excitedly.
"Simulator, show me this world's information. "
[Ding.
Nameless Wasteland :
The planet is almost completely destroyed, with no signs of life or extremely low levels that cannot be detected.
More than 97% of the environment is uninhabitable, ranging from hazardous radiation zones to a severe shortage of essential components like oxygen needed to support normal life forms.
Due to the planet's weakened state, gathering detailed information has become almost impossible.
Overall evaluation : F.]
Max was speechless, as he stopped midair again.
After some time, he silently turned back, flying towards Kain-city again.
"Simulator lock this world ."
[Ding, executing...
World Lock successful.]
Max felt helpless. "well at the very least I can simulate one time to have Lucy practice Dragon vine, any way in her mountain form she doesn't need air and such, so I just need to find her a mountain.
I am not completely unlucky. "
As Max was consoling himself, his pets were discussing his earlier actions. To be more accurate, it was Lucy feeding the crows nonsense.
Only mok gave her a suspicious glance
....
Closer to the city, Max started landing, and he glanced towards the place he hid his identity card. Surprisingly, it seemed that no one touched it.
Still, he didn't plan to retrieve it now.
Honestly, he wanted to get a fake identity, because going as John might be problematic, being so young and so powerful will have certain people asking questions.
However, his current appearance doesn't look young at all. If he gets a fake identity, it should work out fine.
His only uncertainty was how difficult it would be to obtain a fake identity in this world.
' a matter for later.'
Max landed in front of the city gate. It was normal to fly in the city as long as you keep a certain height, but it was forbidden to Fly Above the city wall.
Of course, there were always exceptions, like officials and important individuals and such, but sadly, Max was not one of those and he had to walk through the city gate.
Max's listless walk, gloomy expression, exotic features, and long black wings drew plenty of attention on the street.
Although the looks he got were mostly that of respect or wariness.
Max took out a card and started playing with it. This was the card he got from Julio, the same one that would give him access to Phantom Titan's shops.
Max always had Lucy hid it somewhere underground, to avoid being tracked just in case.
Before coming to Kain-city, he had Lucy retrieve it for him.
Max headed to one of Phantom Titan's associated shops. Conveniently enough, it was not a small shop, and although not their best, it's a shop with a considerable reputation.
Shady organizations like Phantom Titan always liked to muddle in chaotic places like Kain-city, so it wasn't a big surprise.
Max walked slowly, glancing here and there from time to time.
Last time he was in this city kept walking like a street rat, but now everyone act like a street rat when he sees him.
Max sneered and hastened his pase. He had a simulation to do, so he wanted to get over with shopping as quickly as possible.
Soon Max arrived at a majestic tall building. He didn't stand on ceremony and walked inside directly
