Three days went by in a flash but it could not be called unsuccessful.
Lenny spent the first two days shopping in the neighborhood store, getting some fresh beverages.
Frozen beef and fish, he also bought some home appliances and kitchen utensils.
Every necessity a house needed to function, House Night had taught him everything.
How to survive without them when the need arrives.
This was the reason why he hadn't started panicking.
This was the third day, being the final day…..he was waiting for the arrival of his newly purchased Fallen Treasures.
He had placed orders for a few pieces of battle equipment.
**
It took him hours to completely arrange his apartment. He furnished his apartment, getting new chairs and a table.
Those that suit his taste.
He was putting on a plain black shirt with grey pants, not intending on dressing fancy.
Sitting on his chair while devouring the meal he prepared for himself, it was a mixture of instant ramen, beans, and rice.
Adding medium-cooked steak, a soda can, and some fresh leaves, a combination he referred to as splendid.
While eating, his eyes were glued to the shimmering screen of his laptop, his hand was going through the Association's players chat group.
Having more than seventy thousand members in the group chat.
But presently, only a few thousand were currently online.
Since he wasn't too busy at the moment, he had picked this time to check out the official group chat.
He was met with thousands of messages, discussions between Fallen Regulators.
In here, no one was discriminated against because of their ranks.

[Hey guys, does anyone know how to summon a Dragon?]
A question was asked in the group chat. Lenny was astonished by the hundreds of replies pouring in.
The question came with a video taken in the Fallen Realm.
It showed a grey-haired Rank 5 Fallen Regulator standing on the corpse of a monolithic green-scaled dragon-like creature.
The Regulator was draped in a black trench coat, his eyes flickering with thousands of bats scattered across the air.
Lenny felt a shiver run down his spine. "Is this the strength of a Summoner?" Lenny whispered with shaky breath.
XoxoLord: I thought Dragons start from the Evil Spirit rank, right? That must be a Drake!
Queen bee: Does that matter? Although I'm curious as well, can someone answer the gentleman?
JJ Crusher: Well, I might be a Sorcerer, but I do know a few things about the Summon Fallen Path.
Queen bee: And that is?
JJ Crusher: If that Rank 5 Fallen Regulator was the slayer of that drake, then he should be able to summon it when the time is right.
JJ Crusher: But it depends on Drake's rank tho, though. If it's of the Nightmare rank, then it shouldn't be a problem.
AlonsoIsApresident: And if it's of the Titan rank?
JJ Crusher: Well it won't be easy for a Rank 5 Fallen Regulator to summon a Titan rank Apocalypse creature.
Madman United: Smh, that's actually surprising….Since anything from Rank 4 is certified Generals, it shouldn't be so difficult, right?
CrazyMary: That's not how things work tho, monstrosities of the Fallen Realm aren't so easy to control.
JJ Crusher: Yeah, that's why the Summon Fallen Path is one of the toughest Fallen Paths out there lol.
Lenny breathed in deeply, he wasn't surprised that a photo was taken in the Fallen Realm.
After all, it's been five hundred years since the existence of the Fallen Realm became known to humanity.
It took a century for humanity to create the Tether bracelet, a wristband worn by every Fallen Regulator.
It's a special technology that works both in the Fallen Realm and on Earth.
Lenny was gifted one by the Government and he would be using it to anchor himself temporarily to the Sanctuary of the Buijun Guild.
What had left him speechless was the terrifying presence of that Rank 5 Fallen Regulator.
He knew that for Fallen Regulators, a Rank is a realm on its own, taking three stages to evolve to the next Rank.
While another Apocalypse evolves to the next title.
That Rank 5 Fallen Regulator had already conquered his Second Apocalypse and possessed another secondary Fallen Rune.
Increasing his strength beyond reason.
Those who conquered their Second Apocalypse received the title of Generals on Earth.
And those who conquered their Third Apocalypse were given the title of Lords.
While there are only a few hundred Generals scattered across the globe.
There exist only a few dozen Lords.
This is how rare they were in the Regulator's society, each Lord was worth a hundred million lives.

Lenny wasn't focused on the group chat anymore; he lay back, dreaming about strength.
About achieving those powers, no matter how sharp a sword was. It's useless in the hands of a child.
Lenny is a child stepping into the supernatural realm.
A mere Rank 1 Fallen Regulator, if that man came for him.
He would never survive.
Just reminiscing about that night made him grit his teeth, his gaze darkened, his hands clenched.
"One day, I'll stand at the pinnacle of this world, and those old geezers will definitely pay for their ignorance"
"They knew what was coming and yet they watched it happen." Lenny scowled, his rage was quickly flushed when his doorbell rang.
He slightly tilted his head, a bright smile appeared on his lips "Oh? It's here already" He giggled.
Lenny got up from his seat, approaching the door. He pulled down the knob, opening the door to see a middle-aged deliveryman standing with a brown box.
"Greetings, Regulator sir, your order is here," The delivery man said with a warm smile.
Those who weren't cursed by the Fallen Realm to be its carriers were identified as mudane humans.
While they weren't able to live the life of luxury and honor that Fallen Regulators lived.
They could still fend for themselves by going to normal universities, studying engineering, medicine, and cybersecurity.
Working for high class companies and all.
Lenny nodded, "Yeah, thanks for your service, I won't forget to leave good ratings." He winked, taking the box from the deliveryman.
He tipped the deliveryman before shutting the door. He approached the desk, placing the box close to the laptop.
It didn't take him much to unbox it.
Lenny grinned, "It's just as beautiful as I saw it." He whispered, Lenny brought out a pair of semi-automatic Desert Eagles.
Myraid Shooters.
These are first-grade Fallen Relics.
These Fallen Relics came in pairs; they were crafted from a Dungeon boss. These graded Fallen Relics draws out it's Mana, converting it into bullets.
Their bullets were infinite, but they took a few seconds' interval before taking the next shot.
He kept the pair of Myriad Shooters on the table, and he brought another pair of Fallen Relics.
Sandel Crimson Dual Daggers.
These dual crimson daggers were forged from the scales of a dead Wyvern and three mana crystals.
Making them Fallen Relics of the second grade.
Lenny heaved a sigh of relief, "Although they were expensive but I'm satisfied" He nodded, showing his satisfaction.
"Two dual Fallen Treasures, I bought the Myriad Shooters, each of them for $1,000 each"
"While the Sandel Crimson Dual Daggers were $5,000 each, I don't have much time left so I'll train with them in the Fallen Realm"
Lenny was in a hurry after all, with his package delivered.
He knew the next step to take.
He brought out the emerald wristband, which was the Tether bracelet that was given to him by the Government.
Wrapping his right wrist with the device, he received a whisper.
[Bonding Sequence]
A transparent cyan panel appeared before his eyes.
This was a miniature version of the Fallen System created by humans, Lenny couldn't help but smile.
"Humanity really is striving for greatness, huh?" He grinned.
[Player Lenny Night has successfully bonded with the Tether system]
[A temporal link has been created with the Buijun Guild]
[You've been invited into their Sanctuary: Telvian Sanctuary]
[Would you like to anchor with Telvian Sanctuary?]
[Yes] [No]
Lenny whispered softly "Yes"
[Permission received]
[You've been temporarily anchored to the Telvian Sanctuary]
"It's time" Lenny breathed deeply.
Anchoring himself to a Sanctuary was the final process of his preparations but the Tether system had one other purpose for its existence.
[Reporting…..]
[You've awakened an Innate Fallen Rune]
[Fallen Rune: Rune of Dimension]
[Rune Class: Dimension Storage]
An emerald tattoo appeared on his leg, the developers of the Tether system merged it with an artificial Fallen Rune.
One that creates a small pocket world where Fallen Regulators could store their Fallen Treasures, mana crystals, or other important things.
It was necessary so it won't be seized by the Fallen System during the descent phase.
A subtle smile appeared on Lenny's lips. Lenny grabbed the Myriad Shooters from the table.
Keeping them in his Dimensional storage, the process was repeated for the Sandel Crimson Dual Daggers.
For a moment, his neck flickered.
Tattoos of primary Fallen Runes were permanent links between a Fallen Regulator and the Fallen Realm.
All he had to do was will his descent.
He did…..
And the whisper of the Fallen System came in seconds later.
[Welcome to the Fallen Realm]
