Awakening The Only SSS-Rank Class! Now Even Dragons Obey Me

"I didn't expect a video like this, honestly I thought you completely forgot," Lana said loudly, unable to suppress her shock.

She only took a quick glance at the footage, but even that was enough to stun her—the destruction of a Corruption Worshipers' base and a battle against a fake rank S.

There was no need to even think about it; a video with such an idea and quality would surely be a massive success. On top of that, with the budget the guild was putting into promotion, just this video alone could turn Daniel into a well-known figure.

"What kind of person do you think I am?" Daniel asked, trying to hide his embarrassment. The truth was he had really forgotten to record.

This happening now was pure chance, or maybe fate.

"Good, the video just needs some editing, then we'll upload it. I'll let you know once it's up," Lana nodded.

"If you don't need me for anything else, I think it's about time I head out," Daniel glanced at the clock and said.

"No, but… can I ask? Since you're here, what are your plans? Because the time for that dungeon raid I mentioned before is almost here."

"My schedule should be free, but I want to spend some time with my family, especially my two sisters. I need to make sure they haven't been slacking off," Daniel said with a faint smile.

"After that, I'll put everything into reaching rank A as soon as possible." He paused briefly before adding.

"You're thinking of challenging the Tower, aren't you?" Lana's eyebrows rose slightly. After all, it was the usual path—most people aiming for ranks B, A, S, and beyond would always use the Tower.

The normal process had its difficulties, but still, almost everyone preferred the Tower. Its floors weren't just challenges, they also provided support.

With the Tower's help, reaching rank A was much easier—exactly what she herself and every other prodigy of this generation had done.

"I'd rather try without the Tower's help. If I can reach rank A on my own, I'll be able to contribute much more in that Transcendent Scripture dungeon," Daniel replied.

He knew exactly what was on this girl's mind, but even so, he preferred to at least give it a try. And if he failed, it still wouldn't be too late to challenge the Tower.

"Suit yourself. If you need anything, just ask," Lana didn't press further and simply nodded. The stronger Daniel became, the more it benefited them anyway.

After that, the two chatted about a few other things, including how James had taken first place in that simulation competition and set a notable record.

Daniel didn't really care. He simply said that when he had the time, he'd take back first place and make sure no one could ever steal it again.

What a joke—at his current level of strength, he had enough confidence to actually pull that off.

After saying their goodbyes, he drove off toward home. Even though he wanted to arrive quickly, he chose to enjoy the scenery a little on the way.

When he finally reached the house, he parked the car. Luckily, his mother's car was there too, which meant they were home.

Just to be sure, he spread out his spiritual senses to scan the whole house. Confirming that all three of them were indeed home, a smile crept onto his face.

He then quietly stepped inside.

…..

At that same time, the dinner table was already set with delicious food, and three beautiful women were sitting around it, smiling as they enjoyed the meal.

"How was your training at the guild today?" Liana asked with a smile, looking at her two daughters.

"Not bad. Still, more boring than I expected. It's been two weeks now and there's no real progress. Their lessons are way too basic," Alice grumbled while putting a piece of steak into her mouth.

After Daniel entered the Celestial Domain, they too had been summoned to the guild. Since they were members now, they had to undergo training under the guild's instructors.

And unlike schools that had summer breaks, guilds had no such thing. They had to train all the time.

But contrary to what they expected, the training was far too easy. Or maybe it was because they were already much stronger than others their age, making the training feel pointless.

"Because of Daniel's training, this feels easy for us. There's no one our age who can beat us," Tiana said with a smile.

But when she realized what she had just said, she frowned. As expected, the mood instantly grew heavy and gloomy. Even Liana put her spoon down, suddenly seeming to lose her appetite.

Alice followed her mother's lead. After finishing the last bite of steak, she too put her spoon down, her expression dark and drained of energy.

Tiana sighed. She knew exactly why both of them reacted this way. She could feel it too. Maybe not as strongly as they did, but it was still there.

The reason for their sadness was Daniel. As long as his name wasn't brought up, things were fine. But the moment it was mentioned, all that buried sorrow would erupt.

They all missed him deeply, but there was nothing they could do about it.

"There's no need to be so down. Your brother will come back sooner or later, I'm sure of it," Liana tried to comfort them, though it was obvious her words were mostly to calm herself.

"Where did that stinky brother even go? He promised us he wouldn't stay in the Celestial Domain for so long anymore, but now? Weeks have passed and there's still no word from him," Alice complained.

"I'm upset too, but we need to get used to it. The stronger he becomes, the more he'll have to stay there. I even heard some rank S Awakened stay inside for years," Tiana said calmly.

There was no need to lie—she was sad too, but not as much as the other two. Still, she didn't want either of them to become a burden for Daniel.

On the contrary, she wanted to turn eighteen as soon as possible, so she could finally enter the Celestial Domain herself and help Daniel with whatever he was doing there.

That was why both she and Alice were throwing themselves into training so seriously. They wanted to grow stronger as quickly as possible.

Still, a journey that should take years couldn't be done overnight.

"You're right," Alice sighed instead of snapping back.

But Liana's expression shifted slightly. Sadness and even hints of fear flickered in her eyes.

Wasn't this exactly what her husband used to say?

And in the end, what happened to him? He left, and never came back. No body, no trace, nothing—just gone.

She was terrified that the same thing might happen to her son.

But all her worries were unnecessary.

"Why are you all looking so sad?" Suddenly, a familiar male voice rang out in their ears.
