"I must help her but what can I do? I don't have much money myself. Only around 10 Grands!"
Of course, Marvin wanted to help her. He had known this woman for years. Also, she is a good friend of his mom and their neighbor. Her daughter, Vanessa was also a childhood sweetheart of Marvin; However, later on, she was sick most of the time. Although she attends the same school as him, Marvin stopped interacting with her.
He ignored her so that his bullies won't also target her. He still remembers the hurt in Vanessa's eyes whenever he ignores her.
Sometimes when Marvin and his sister were left alone in the house then it was Janna who cooked for them and Vanessa would join in.
Those were the good days. At that time, his powerful father was alive.
Gone were the good days, left behind were merely dread and awful life.
"But now, I will change the fate of everyone close to me!" Marvin promised in his heart.
"Janna and Vanessa had helped us financially and emotionally, a lot of times. I can't even count it! Noah, is there a way to help them out? I really wanna help them. They have been good to me and my family. Now, it's time I return her favor!" Marvin internally said to Noah.
"Yes, Host!" Noah replied and a mission notification popped up in front of Marvin's eyes.

After Marvin read the "Most likely to fall in the depth of abyss" part of the description, he felt more bothered and instantly asked Noah, "What kind of trouble is she gonna face?"
Noah replied, Ding! She is most likely to fall prey to malicious sex traffickers or even be sold as a slave in an auction. She might very well be killed under the hands of organ trader!"
"Bang!" A heavy voice echoed in the classroom as the table broke into two.
Janna was startled by the sudden commotion, and she turned to look at the source.
Liam turned to look at Marvin!
Everyone turned to look at Marvin!
"Holy Fuck!"
"Was he the one who broke the table?"
"His fist is right above it so it gotta be him but... but how could it be possible?"
They weren't surprised at someone's breaking the table. They were surprised at Marvin breaking the table.
Fatty Liam's eyes popped and his mouth opened wide in shock, "Bro when did you become so powerful? Are you training under a hidden jujutsu sage?"
Hearing his words, Marvin realized that his anger has burst out and he broke the table with a single punch.
A commotion started in the classroom but Janna instantly curbs it. Rather than punishing Marvin, she told him to get a new table from the nearby class and replace the broken one.
"Damn, this guy get special favor just because Janna knows him!" A student thought. An insidious smile crept on his face as he thought of alerting the many stalkers of the mature and slender beauty Janna.
The class began after the commotion.
"An inscriptionist is a profession, a person who dwells in it is able to inscribe magical runes designs on a piece of paper to create a talisman or a piece of normal weapon to upgrade it into a runic weapon. Furthermore, an inscriptionist can inscribe magical runes designs onto various formation carrying objects such as formation disk, formation gems/crystal or stone, and formation flags, etc. It is also the foundation of magical technology.
"Our school only has information about twenty-five low-level magical rune designs. They are divided into four grades. So we'll be talking about the low-level rune designs. The low-level rune designs are divided into 4 levels. Low-tier, medium-tier, high-tier, and Perfect." Janna said while her hips swayed gracefully, moving up and down.
