Chapter 11
Dylan prepared for the worst, but he didn't feel the pain of the bullet. So Dylan dared to open his eyes and put his hand out of sight. "Who are you?" asked Dylan. He didn't see the man chasing him, but a woman with a mask covering her face. "People at this level are stupid," said the woman. Dylan looked down, where the man chasing him was in a bloody position from falling while trying to attack him. Dylan's body froze instantly. Does he kill people? "Haven't you ever seen someone die before?" "Obviously I have but not under these circumstances," Dylan replied emotionally. "That's the same thing. There's no use being afraid because you should be relieved that he didn't kill you." "Who are you? You haven't answered my question." The woman was silent as she looked Dylan up and down. This made Dylan unable to resist using his abilities. "Rain, do a scan on that woman in front of me," Dylan ordered the system. System: Scan complete. [Personal information] [Name: Gabriel] [Le

Dylan made it to the energy station when he had 31% energy left. A little late and Dylan might faint. Luckily the energy station isn't far from where Dylan chased Gabriel. Did she aim at Dylan on purpose? Dylan didn't know. System: Energy charging begins. A hologram screen appeared in front of Dylan. [Status: In charging] [Estimated time: 2 hours] 2 hours was quite a long time for Dylan to be in a capsule standing like this. Moreover, what was called an energy station is a transparent tube made of glass. So people passing by could see Dylan. Dylan chose to close his eyes. He thought about the man who chased him earlier. Dylan remembered that he had no enemies in this parallel world because he hadn't met many people, except Alan and Haily. The mysterious man was clearly targeting Dylan's life because he used a gun to attack Dylan. Unfortunately, before Dylan could scan, the man was already dead. Meanwhile, the system in Dylan's mind cannot scan dead bodies because it has a limi

Dylan couldn't hide his shocked face as the man's guess was correct. This further aroused Dylan's curiosity. "What more do you know about me?" asked Dylan. "You're better than you think," the man replied. Again, an ambiguous sentence spoken by the man. "If you don't understand what I'm saying, then I'll explain." The man brought up a holographic screen in the center of the table. Dylan automatically looked around for fear that someone might hear their conversation. But what Dylan found was that the waitresses stayed frozen like statues with blank stares. "What happened to them?" "It's called freezing. Only some people can have the ability to freeze a person's system. Even if it only lasts a few minutes, it's an extraordinary ability." "Then what are you going to show me with that screen?" The man selected a menu called history. Instantly, several photos of Dylan from baby to adult appeared. This amazing thing made Dylan unable to stop suspecting the man. All of this felt sca

Chapter 14
All night Dylan had been thinking hard between going to the Electric Club and accomplishing Alan's challenge, or using the money he had to buy new abilities. Dylan knew that $11 million was a lot of money. But each ability had its own price. If it was just an ordinary ability that he bought, then $25,000 would be enough. But Dylan wanted an ability that not everyone had that cost about 1 million dollars. Meanwhile, there were still 149 days left before Dylan's mission ended. "Rain, can you give me some advice?" System: You have the full right to choose with consequences for each choice. "I want you to display every consequence." System: Analysis begins. [Remaining Balance: $11,237,700] [Last Transaction: $300 [food purchased]] [Option 1: Show $10 million to the enemy] [Option 2: Use balance to buy abilities and survive] [Consequence 1: Gain new enemies, Lose all balance] [Consequence 2: Get the desired job, complete the mission on time] In one look, Dylan already knew that

Dylan still shocked that the bill for the system device he bought was 1 million dollars! Dylan thought it was only thousands, but it turned out to be far beyond his expectations. Now Dylan's balance was running dangerously low. Dylan was sure Alan would do something with the 10 million dollars and wouldn't let Dylan have it for long. Dylan saw the Electric Club which would be the second meeting place with Alan and Haily in this parallel world. There were two large robots guarding the front of the club with two guns. Gosh, Dylan couldn't even tell if this was a club or a prison that it had to be guarded so tightly. As Dylan entered, the guard confronted him. "Show me your balance." "Is that necessary?" asked Dylan. "People who can enter here must have a balance of at least $1 million dollars." "Yes, go ahead and check it," Dylan challenged. The two robots scanned Dylan and his balance was displayed on a holographic screen. "You're welcome to come in." Dylan straightened his ti

"Why are you silent? Are you scared? You're so pale, I'm worried you'll faint again." Dylan was silent as he thought of all the possibilities if he accepted Alan's offer. Dylan calculated the costs and benefits because this was no longer about prestige, but about his mission as well. "What will I get if I play games with you?" asked Dylan. It was a good move to ask this because Dylan couldn't take a risk for nothing. He had come all the way to this world for nothing. "Of course you'll get the money I have, all of it." Alan displayed the hologram screen again. "But if you lose, all your balance will be mine. How's that?" The offer was very interesting, but Dylan couldn't believe it yet because he was Alan. Alan could be lying, right? "Why should I trust you?" Dylan had a serious look on his face. "Why should I trust someone who raised the war flag at the first meeting?" Alan laughed. "I didn't expect that you'd bring that up again." Alan handed Dylan a glass of alcohol. "How abou

Chapter 17
Dylan's breathing was ragged. His body returned to normal function because he was out of the game. Every time a player was killed, the game was temporarily stopped. Unfortunately Dylan lost 1 life in vain just because he wasn't given the chance to run. During the countdown to start the game, Dylan's shoe got stuck in a hole in the ground. So he couldn't run when the game started. The hunter shot Dylan when he didn't run. The shot hurt much more than when Alan beat him. He even swore many times. "I want to report a cheat," Dylan said when the game was about to start again. Everyone was looking at Dylan. But none of them saw the situation Dylan was in when his foot got stuck. The staff pointed a white spotlight at Dylan. "Please explain what you mean by cheating." "My foot got stuck in a hole in the ground. It wasn't fair because only the ground on my side had holes while the other players' didn't. So, I want the game to be repeated from the beginning," Dylan explained. This is a

"I don't want to use your protection for now. I will strive until I reach my limit. If I can't, then I'll use that protection." System: Command saved. Just as the count ended, Dylan immediately ran forward in a zigzag way as directed by the system. Dylan couldn't see what was in front of him at all, he just followed his instincts and tried to listen to all the sounds. Because when the eyes are closed, the ears function better, that's what Dylan believed. But Alan didn't want to lose from Dylan, he also had a trick to finish this game. Although the battlefield was different, Alan had won several times and defeated other players. One shot was fired by the hunter chasing them. It made Dylan bow his head subconsciously as he wanted to avoid the shot and it helped Dylan survive the tree branch that crossed his path. Dylan's ears heard the sound of the waterfall and it worried him. Dylan can't swim. System: You're going to cross the river, so you're going to do it quickly. "I can't

Everyone in the club except Alan congratulated Dylan. It was a coincidence and a stroke of luck for Dylan because Alan never lost. As an athlete, Alan had better strategic planning than anyone else. That was the reason he was hard to beat by others. But Dylan couldn't be too happy because it turned out that the second mission wasn't finished yet. Dylan didn't know that Alan had another system device. And Dylan also had another task to take revenge on Haily. Now the most important thing is to develop a new plan so Alan and Haily can meet Dylan again. That way Dylan's chance for revenge becomes bigger. "What's wrong? Shouldn't you be happy that you beat me?" Alan quipped. "Yes, I'm glad I beat you. You seemed pretty sure you were going to win this game. But unfortunately I'm the one who won." "You're such a jerk. Just wait, the balance will come back to me shortly." Dylan became aware. What would Alan do next? "You should know that I have a large balance. So if I disappear sudde

It took a few seconds for the system to process Dylan's request as his body had sank deep enough. Dylan also kept holding his breath to keep himself awake. Until the electric shock was felt again, it meant that the transfer of swimming ability was complete. But on the other side, the system displayed Dylan's energy status which continued to decrease. So Dylan needed to get out of the water as quickly as possible since Dylan had only purchased the ability to swim, not breathe underwater. Dylan tried to reach the surface. But when he almost raised his head above the water, a thug entered the water and pulled Dylan down. As a result, Dylan was dragged back into the ocean. The thug tried to take something that Dylan wearing, the glasses, the system device that Dylan just bought and containing Dylan's entire balance. Of course, Dylan fought back so that the thug couldn't take his glasses. System: Warning of energy limit. It's definitely not the right time, the system's energy is 35%.
