Axel didn't need a grand plan.
Right now, his goal was simple—destroy every faction that had preyed on his family during his coma.
It would begin with helping his sister.
Then, he would raise his family to a level where no one would dare look down on them again.
His parents shared that same resolve.
Axel told them a few of the plans he developed in the darkness.
After a few back-and-forth exchanges, he convinced his parents to allow him to go out while they handled the dungeon and got used to their new abilities.
So when he returned, the family would depart for his sister's final exams, which were the day after tomorrow.
It was no coincidence that Axel woke up before his sister was humiliated.
Through sheer will, he had forced the system's progress after hearing his sister's rants when she came home during her pre-exam break.
"I shouldn't have let my princess attend that school after all! No, that'll be affecting her life and I want her to enjoy herself. It's those bastards' fault after all. They hurt my girl!"
Leona's gaze grew dark as she spoke, her anger thickening the air.
"I will kill them! I won't spare any of them."
Axel was also serious as he said, "I agree."
Dazrel was even quieter, but the bulging veins on his forehead and the increase in temperature said alot.
He and Leona didn't know the details of the problem Lana was going through, they barely even knew the surface.
But after Axel revealed it, the animosity they felt toward their enemies blazed fiercely.
Dazrel folded his arms, his muscles tightening as he forced his anger down.
Axel turned to his father, the head of the family, and waited for his judgment.
"Axel, we will move forward with your plan. We will show them that no one messes with the Agronas."
And just like that, the fate of an entire family was sealed.

Axel sat in the darkness of his room.
In front of him was a golden system screen, revealing his status.

'So the Dragon Overlord System merged with the world's System…'
Axel took a moment to admire his new status before moving on to his true agenda.
It was the fusion of his parents' abilities.
"I don't know if I should fuse all the abilities they have right now. Who knows, when I awaken Lana and Alfred, they might fuse with mom and dad's ability better."
Axel pondered for a bit.
"Shame I can't mix skills within the same class, their synergy is already there. But that's the problem—the synergy could create something too powerful… even for me to handle."
With a deep sigh, he moved on with the fusion.
"Let's start with the regenerating abilities. Fuse Dad's Structural Reconstitution, Mom's Advanced Regeneration with my Advanced Regeneration."
[Fusion Activated.]
[Cataclysmic Reconstitution has been generated.]
[Cataclysmic Reconstitution: It rebuilds the body rapidly by reconstructing destroyed parts using internal energy or surrounding materials.]
'If I'm not killed instantly, I can survive anything. And unlike dad, I don't need to use any transformation.'
Dazrel's [Structural Reconstitution] only worked when he used his [Titanic Growth] but Axel didn't need that.
Axel let out a quiet chuckle at the new ability. Indeed, Fusion was the best power for him to have right now.
He proceeded to use the last Fusion slot he had.
"Fuse Dad's Titanic Growth with my Cataclysmic Overlord."
[Fusion Activated.]
[Catalysmic Titan has been generated.]
[Cataclysmic Titan: It's a transformation skill that converts fear, witnesses, and environmental destruction into escalating power and body size, turning the user into a self-amplifying walking catastrophe.]
He looked through the new skills description and nodded with satisfaction.
"A loop skill, just like I thought! I have both a great offense and defensive skill now."
Axel took a few minutes thinking about applications of his new skills while mentally preparing himself for the physical harm he planned to do.
Just then, he heard a knock and let his dad inside the room.
Dazrel, now dressed in a casual shirt and pants, wore a smile.
"Your mother managed to guess how you wanted to make money in a bit."
Axel tilted his head slightly, a smile crossing his face. "As expected."
"Right?" Dazrel laughed and handed a filled small sack to Axel.
Axel gave his dad a skeptical look and opened it to see the contents.
In it, there were scales. Scales of True Dragons.
Axel gave his dad a wry look before smiling and extending his fist.
Dazrel bumped his fist against Axel's and they both exchanged their personal handshakes.
"We're in this together!"
Axel nodded and added, "Extend my thanks to mom too."
"You betcha," Dazrel replied. "Alright. I'll see you tomorrow."
"Good night."
Dazrel turned to leave Axel's room.
Through the thin fabric of his shirt, Axel caught a glimpse of the scorched, red skin beneath.
"Those bastards…"
His voice dropped into something colder than rage.
"They'll pay for every last bit of this."
