The next morning.Carrie, Freddy, and William went to their jobs to experience their first day at work. Draco said he was going to school, but then went to his friend’s home to get his gaming gear modified so that even an underage kid like him could play the VR game known as Dream Creed that had been released almost five years ago and revolutionized the gaming world.Bertha was busy learning new recipes because she predicted that Carrie, Freddy, and William were probably going to complain about dishes now that they started working and earning salaries. So, she wanted to up her game, too, so they wouldn’t be able to point their fingers at her.“It’s been a while since I’ve passionately practiced on the recipes,” Bertha looked happy even though she was working alone in the kitchen.Mia, on the other hand, was in her bedroom, holding the yellow rose in her hand. “Gabe said that this is the Luna System. For some reason, this thing appeared in my dream last night. How did I know that this

Two energies, energy of death and energy of destruction, collided and created a tornado in between the two fighters. A tornado that grew bigger than the hills around them. Gabe raised his hand and shaped his fingers in the form of a claw before striking the tornado and tearing it into pieces before jumping and kicking Bart. Bart had managed to cross-block the attack, but he was still blown dozens of meters away. While Bart was mightily astonished by how much stronger Gabe had gotten since the last time he fought him, Gabe was also surprised by how powerful Bart became even though it shouldn’t have been long since he got hold of the Wicked Wandering Warrior System. “Why is he already so strong?” Gabe wondered. [He’s let the system take control of him. That’s why.] Systa blurted angrily. “So, it’s not Bart who’s talking right now?” [Not quite. It is the system that’s speaking using Bart’s memories.] Systa said. [The Wicked Wandering Warrior System was one of the failed systems cr

The door opened. Mia, who was standing in front of the mirror, in a gorgeous blue dress looked through the mirror and saw Gabe.She quickly turned around. “Don’t you know that you should knock on the door?”Gabe didn’t speak a word and just stepped into the room while staring at her without blinking.“W-What’s wrong?” she had a puzzled expression.The closer Gabe got, the stronger her scent squeezed his heart. “Mia… did you start using a new perfume?”“No. Why?” she asked as he touched her hand. “H-Hey!”She was about to pull her hand, but then he said, “Will you go out on a date with me?”These words were not something she was expecting to come out of his mouth. What was he thinking for him to ask her out on a date after she told him to keep some distance from her?“Why now?” Mia asked. “Is it because I’ve accepted the Luna system? Or… are you thinking of changing my opinion on you by taking me out on a date?”“Mia…” Gabe said the same words again. “Will you go out on a date with me?

Mia was surprised to hear Antony’s words. She looked at Gabe just to see his expression.“After I stopped working as a delivery driver, I couldn’t bring the leftover food packages here anymore,” Gabe said, looking a bit disappointed with himself. At least once every week, Gabe would deliver food packages to parties or functions of all kinds. There were times when the delivery drivers were given some packages for free, too. Gabe would bring two packages home, and he would bring the other packages to this orphanage as there used to be a lot more children here in the past. “Those were times when I was doing everything I could to put food on the table. My mom’s medical bills cost a lot of money, and so I appreciated every bit of opportunity that brought food onto my plate. I happened to meet Antony one day, and I thought I should help him at least once in a while to ease his nerves.”Antony patted Gabe’s shoulders in appreciation. “All the kids that know you have been adopted, so that’s w

Gabe was on the moon because his little finger held Mia’s little finger. He didn’t care to watch the movie but was mostly looking at her.At some point, Mia pulled her hand away, startling him.“Five minutes are done,” she said.He didn’t even know how fast the time passed. “Mia, do you consider me a friend? A good friend?”“Yeah. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have married you,” Mia replied without hesitation.“Then, will you give your good friend a kiss?” Gabe asked.Mia turned her head to look at him. “You won’t give up, do you?”“I’ve been friendzoned by many girls over the years,” Gabe tried his best to not sound pitiful. “I don’t want to be friendzoned by my wife. All I want is one kiss on the cheek. That’s all. Nothing more. Nothing less. I’ll be your slave if you want for the rest of the year. I’ll do everything you say.”Mia’s heart melted a little from seeing his desperation. “You don’t have to do anything for me.” She turned his head and gave him a quick peck on the cheek. It was a
