“Who’s there?” Gabe uttered in a moderate voice. “I can feel your presence, so come out.” “I was wondering who intruded my home in the middle of the night,” a soft voice came out as a man walked out of the shadows, wearing a night suit. “It turns out to be a guy with systemic power. If you’ve come here to steal oranges… then pluck as many as you can and leave quietly.” He stopped at the right spot where his features above his chest were still hidden because of the shadows. Gabe and Systa looked surprised because this man was able to see through them so easily. “Does he have a system?” Gabe asked her. [I don’t think so.] Her eyes were wide open. [This guy… I don’t feel any energy from him at all. He’s right in front of us, but it feels as if he’s everywhere, like the sky above us.” “English, please.” [He’s not someone we can deal with right now. Since he doesn’t seem to want to fight, let’s run.] Systa said. Gabe frowned. “Isn’t running something you’d never do?” Systa also frown

The next morning.Gabe went to the grocery store, and Leona was there, working diligently. He gave her an orange.“I don’t like citrus fruits,” she blurted, looking at him coldly. “They burn my heart.”Gabe raised his brows. “Are you roleplaying a vampire now?”She was startled. “H-How did you know? Now that I know vampires are real, I’ve been trying to imagine what kind of lives they lead. What things do they eat? Can they eat vegetables like us? Do they poop everyday? You know, there are a lot of questions that I’ve been noting down in a book.”“What for? You think you’ll meet a vampire soon?” Gabe asked.Leona smiled rather confidently. “Since I’m with you, I have a feeling that I’ll meet a vampire sooner or later.”Gabe put the orange in her hand. Her eyes widened because the orange was as big as her hand. “What’s this? You’re giving me a shitty hybrid orange? These things look big, but they taste like water gone bad.”“No, they’re organic oranges that grew in a specific environme

“Ranked 111,111 on the UTS board,” Rica introduced one of the contestants to both the offline and online crowd, “the guy who drinks a deer’s blood and a bear’s blood alike, the guy who smokes marijuana 16 hours a day, the guy who shamelessly scares elderly and children alike, the guy who’s hated and also loved by many, the one and only, Superfreak Saul.”Saul, a big guy imported from the Middle East, received a massive cheer. He was almost eight-foot-tall and had long hair that was decorated in locks. He was currently pumping blood to his biceps using 100 pound dumbbells, which greatly pumped not just his blood but also the blood of many onlookers. So many people placed their bets on him because he had an unbeatable record of 43 wins to this day. And most of his opponents were relatively higher ranked people, which brought his victories quite some attention, and this made him a star within a span of a year.“Do you think Superfreak would win?”“We don’t know who will be placed against

Having worked in Tuna Waves a few weeks now, Nicole understood one of the main goals that the restaurant had.It was to make the best-selling burgers and pizzas in three categories: fruits, veggies, and meat. The reason was simple. The Creed Zone, where the restaurant was located, was a big hub to all the gamers of Dream Creed, the most popular game of the world, so the company’s goal was to feed these gamers healthy food that could be eaten quickly.So, everyday, a different chef was given the opportunity to make the pizza of their choosing, and then slices of that pizza would be sent to important people of the company and would receive the reviews. The result needed to be perfect, which meant that everybody had to love the dish.To this day, nobody ever succeeded in making something that received a perfect score.Today, it was Nicole’s turn.In the afternoon, she was given the recipe book that the previous chefs had used. She spent multiple hours just reading that book and noticed h

The restaurant that Rica brought Gabe to was unlike anything he had ever seen before. It was an underground restaurant, but there were glass walls surrounding their table. On the other side of the walls, lions, tigers, and other animals lived. This was like they were surrounded by a zoo, with only a glass wall separating them.“What is this place?” Gabe asked as he entered this space through an elevator that brought him down from the ceiling and then left. Even Systa didn’t know about the existence of such a place. “There’s animals. There’s fish. It’s like a zoo.”“It’s an exclusive restaurant that can only be used by a certain number of families that are part of its customers,” she said. “Even billionaires won’t be able to get in here unless they are recognized by the owner of this restaurant.”“Who’s the owner?”“My uncle,” she said, surprising Gabe.“I guessed you were rich, but not to this extent,” Gabe said, sitting down on the premium wooden chair which oozed nothing but quality
