Austin looked at his reflection in the mirror of his room. He was wearing the suit he bought yesterday, his face was also more cheerful than his usual days.

Not without reason, last night he earned 4,000 Exchange Points for doing his two homework assignments. With that many Exchange Points, he no longer needed to worry about lacking money later on.

"I'll go to the library, then buy a new cell phone. I'll probably be out of the house until noon, then help mom sell..." she murmured enthusiastically.

He didn't want his mother to keep working, but Austin couldn't say that he had a lot of money now. Selina would probably think he was crazy if he said that all the money he earned was from the system.

It didn't make sense, but that was the reality.

The teenage boy picked up his cell phone, checking it for a moment in case there was a new school assignment or something he had missed. After making sure there was nothing that should keep him at home longer, he waltzed out of the room.

"Mom, I'm going to the library, I'll be home in the afternoon!" Austin shouted to his mother who was drying clothes in the back room.

"You didn't eat breakfast first?" asked Selina in a loud voice, hoping Austin could hear her.

"No, Mom! Then I'm off!"

***

The roaring sound of vehicles passing by on the highway did not disturb Austin who was reading one of his favorite novels. He used public bus transportation to go to the library.

Occasionally the teenager looked at the streets crowded with people. He saw a small child playing with their parents, sometimes he also saw teenagers like him playing with their friends.

Seeing all that, Austin could only sigh softly. He had never felt what those people felt.

Playing with his parents? Selina was too busy making money, there was no time for women to play with her.

Play with his friends? He doesn't even have a single friend.

"That's all in the past now. I'll start fixing myself and start taking a new path as a new Austin too..." he murmured excitedly.

It didn't take long for the public bus to finally arrive at Austin's first destination, the City Library.

The City Library holds at least hundreds of thousands of books, be it knowledge books or romance novels. The City Library is basically a paradise for those who love to read.

Austin actually often went to the City Library to study the subject matter he didn't understand or just to relax his mind by reading some of his favorite novels. But this was his first time setting foot in the City Library after getting the Student System.

[The Host has entered Winston Library. Hidden rewards triggered! Host gets 100,000 Exchange Points as a reward!]

Austin was stunned as the system sound rang inside his head.

"100,000 Exchange Points?! I got it just for entering the City Library?" Austin muttered in disbelief at what he had just heard.

To him, 100,000 Exchange Points was a lot of money. Previously he had only redeemed 1,000 Exchange Points and in an instant his account balance grew directly to 100,000,000 dollars.

Then what happens if he converts 100,000 Exchange Points into money? Doesn't that mean he will get 100 Billion dollars?

The system screen suddenly appeared in front of him which once again made Austin surprised.

[The host had entered the City Library. The library is one of the world's sources of knowledge.]

[Any rewards from missions (Student System) will be multiplied by two while inside the Library]

Austin was getting more and more excited. "That means I can get 1,000 Exchange Points for every page of the book I read later? That's amazing! It turns out that my decision to go to the city library was right. I can earn a lot of Exchange Points here!"

Austin didn't stay in the library lobby for long. He immediately picked up some of his favorite knowledge books and novels. He would probably spend most of his time in the library, before going somewhere else.

The few people who saw Austin carrying dozens of books at once made them shake their heads slowly. Only a few library employees were used to the sight.

Who among them didn't know the young man with glasses? Every day without fail the teenager always came to the library where they worked. Spending time from afternoon until nightfall, seeing the teenage boy reading several books in a day was no longer a strange sight.

Austin took a seat close to the window overlooking the outdoors on the second floor of the library.

"Alright... Time to hunt for Exchange Points!"

If he had previously gone to the library just to unwind or take a short break, but now it was different. He had a clear goal once he entered the City Library, which was to earn more Exchange Points.

[Host opens a knowledge book.]

[First page successfully scanned]

[Synchronizing system memory into Host memory]

[12%...]

[57%...]

[100%]

[The system has saved the memory of the first page of the book (National Level Math) into the Host memory]

[Host gets 500 Exchange Points (X2)]

Again Austin was surprised. He was silent for a moment, he scratched lightly at his hair that wasn't itchy, it seemed like he was too lucky, right?

"So I can immediately understand all the contents of the book just from looking at it? Well then..."

A second later Austin felt himself wanting to scream out loud, expressing his happiness freely. But what the hell, he could only smile broadly while trying not to disturb others, or else the library staff would kick him out.

[Host has understood the contents of the book [Science World]]

[Host gets 500 Exchange Points (X2)]

[Host has understood...]

[Host gets 500 Points...]

The ringing of the system continued to sound inside his head. In just under half an hour, Austin managed to finish his first two knowledge books. The National Level Math book and the World Science book were the most complicated books he read today, but thanks to the Student System, he was able to understand all the material of both books easily in a short period of time.

Moreover, both knowledge books were 400 pages thick each. This was the first time Austin felt that his hobby was truly worthwhile.

[Exchange Points: 961,350 Points]

"My Exchange Points are very abundant, aren't they? With this many Exchange Points, I can get anything I want..." Austin murmured in awe as he looked at the system screen in front of him.

But the teenage boy did not lose himself in his excitement and continued to open new barrels. Aside from earning Exchange Points, the fact that he could remember everything he read in recall time alone was already amazing. He could not waste this golden opportunity to mine more knowledge.

It didn't feel like 3 hours passed quickly. Austin yawned, boredom starting to get to him after reading 16 books for that long. He looked around him for a moment, there were some people he had previously seen had left, there were also some new visitors.

"That's enough for today. I might go crazy if I keep reading more books. Even though I can read and understand them quickly, reading so many books at once is something I just can't handle..."

He once again looked at the system screen in front of him. Within three hours, his Exchange Points jumped from 900 thousand Points to nearly 5 Million Exchange Points. A fantastic amount indeed, with so many Exchange Points, there was no doubt that Austin could obtain everything in this world.

Austin didn't immediately go outside the library after finishing reading the book. He checked his system store, seeing if there was anything he could exchange besides money.

His gaze was glued to one column that displayed brief information.

[65% share of Gabriella Enterprise: 2.5 million Exchange Points]

"Gabriella Enterprise shares? The price is the highest among the [Mortal Treasure] lineup. Should I try to exchange it instead?"

After thinking for a long time, Austin finally exchanged his 2.5 Million Exchange Points for Gabriella Enterprise Shares. Austin had no idea that his actions had caused an uproar amongst businessmen and entrepreneurs around the world.

In a place far away from Winston City, a tall building towered above the clouds. The 'Gabriella Enterprise' logo was clearly printed on the center of the building, indicating that the skyscraper belonged to Gabriella Enterprise.

Inside the special room where the President Director of Gabriella Enterprise was, a man with a tall stature and also full of dominant aura was calling one of his trusted subordinates.

"The owner of Gabriella Enterprise has changed. Hold a shareholders' meeting this afternoon, I'll explain it to them myself."

    Time flew by so quickly, it didn't feel like break time had arrived. Austin didn't go to the cafeteria as usual, the teenager remained sitting quietly in his seat while staring at the tall man in front of him. The man in front of him was none other than the lawyer Christina had sent, and Christina said that the lawyer she had sent was the best among the company's lawyers."They'll be here soon, I hope you don't disappoint me," Austin said flatly. He turned his attention to the sound of the classroom door opening, Frank and some of his friends coming in. Their rambunctious appearance scared anyone who saw that group of students.Frank looked at Austin and the stranger in Austin's class in turn. He slightly raised both eyebrows, did Austin really hire a lawyer? Judging from how the stranger was neatly dressed with a matching black suit, he should be a lawyer, but how could Austin hire one? Wasn't Austin's family poor all along?Several questions arose in his mind and Frank could only as

    Everyone at Winston High School was shocked by a video that suddenly hit social media. It showed Frank and his friends on their knees rubbing their hands together against Austin, the most notorious coward in the entire school.Moreover, the reason why Frank and his friends did it all was because they carelessly accused Austin of having a sugar mommy and Austin did not accept the accusation so he boldly hired a reliable lawyer to silence the mouths of those who accused him.Those who initially openly gossiped about Austin began to shut up, afraid of experiencing the same thing as Frank and his friends.

Felix ignored Austin's presence, but on the other hand Austin kept watching Felix.Somehow he felt a strange fluctuation as soon as he saw the man named Felix. He couldn't explain it well, but he knew it was a kind of scientific attraction as Heaven and Earth complemented each other even though they would never merge.Of course Austin could tell clearly that what he was feeling now wasn't any kind of romantic attraction, he wasn't that stupid to interpret it."This seems to be getting more complicated..." Austin muttered. He could have used his abilities and made the girl named Lily come out on her own, but the presence of other people in the room made him think twice.Austin sighed heavily, he looked back at the man named Felix for a moment and then sat down on one of the empty chairs positioned right next to the shop door.He picked up one of the random books and read it.

He didn't realize what was happening and looked around him with a questioning gaze.He was in a dark room that gave off an eerie impression, moreover he just realized that he was sitting with both his hands and feet bound in thick chains. But the shock didn't last long as he remembered that he was a Magician. He should be able to break these chains easily.Unfortunately he could not sense the presence of magic here, in short he could not use his magic here which made his resistance futile."Trying to run?" a heavy voice sounded, the small man focused his gaze towards the source of the voice and found a large man with long hair and a thick beard and mustache covering his facial features.The man was more accurately described as a monstrous monster than a human.

    Vin is naturally an arrogant person, often looking down on those he perceives as his prey.He was not a virtuous or benevolent person like the heroic heroes in some heroic novels.He himself realized that he was cruel and merciless, but all that kind of cruelty was extinguished once he faced Austin. As arrogant as he was and even if his arrogance was as vast as the ocean and as high as the sky, it was nothing in front of Austin Barnett.He could still be a bit arbitrary in front of Luna and Finley, but it was a different matter when he faced Austin Barnett. All he could do was bow his head respectfully, because in his heart, in the hearts of all the members of the Night Squad, Austin was a true ruler with tremendous power in his hands.There were only a few moments where the Night Squad could see Austin's power, and that was less than ten times. Austin rarely used his personal power, but once he got serious, even the Gods themselves couldn't stop him.Vin looked at the small man who w

This was something he was used to after the Night Squad came under Austin Barnett's banner. There were no premeditated acts of murder or anything like that, just brutal massacres that were extremely destructive.If before the Night Squad was a group of owls working in the dark, once the Night Squad became Austin Barnett's right-hand man, they became a group of eagles that openly dominated every territory.

    A man was running in the darkness as if he was chasing something. His gaze was fixed on a black shadow that was darting so fast, he almost couldn't catch up with it if his boss didn't give him a magical equipment that could increase his speed.The man running with the magical shoes was none other than Vin. He was investigating Winston's suicide, but in the middle of the investigation he found something that made him curious."Damn it, why is it so fast!" Vin cursed, he had run as fast as he could but his distance from the black shadow was still the same, even a little further.The uneven terrain of the forest and the many shady trees around it hampered Vin's movements. Trying to catch up from the sky was definitely not a good option, as the black shadow was too opaque for it to easily blend into the darkness of the night.Letting his guard down, Vin would instantly lose his trail.As the black shadow's movements quickened, Vin widened his eyes in disbelief. Previously he believed that

    Just as there is always a shadow behind the light, so is Winston's current condition.One should not describe the evil and good sides easily. They should dive to the bottom and search deeper into what evil really is and what good really is.A mass murderer today would be considered a true ditactor, but a massacre during a war in the past would be considered something that they had to do in order to create a prosperous kingdom or empire.Each action has its own time.Behind the catastrophic 'suicides' that are happening in Winston, there are some groups of people who are taking advantage of the gruesome cases spread throughout the city by creating more chaos in the city.Some wreak havoc openly, while others wreak havoc in the dark. While the residents are busy protecting themselves from factors that could affect their mental health, the criminals in the darkness launch their actions.Inside a suite in a five-star hotel in the city center, a middle-aged man sits on the room's sofa over

    No one knows better than him that power is everything. The stronger you are, the more power you can wield. With absolute power in his hands, everything would bow beneath his feet, kowtowing and licking the toes of his shoes masterfully.Austin didn't want great power in his hands at first, instead, he wanted to live a simple life without any burden on his shoulders with his parents and everyone he cared about. But the more he knew that in order to realize such peace, he needed great power in his hands.Now that he is the guardian of Earth, there are some mysterious and ancient facts that have only become known after he took this position. Facts that only he knows and may also be known by other ancient existences, but Austin does not know whether those ancient existences are still alive today or have been buried deep in the Earth's core.However, the position of Earth's guardian cannot be occupied by just anyone, only those who can defeat the three mythical creatures of the ocean are w

    The extremely rare occurrence of Dimensional Energy made Austin travel the world more vigorously to visit some untouched locations and ascertain if there were any other visible Dimensional Energy or traces that might have been left by other beings.However, those who can control Dimensional Energy are not simple characters, they could be invincible existences like the three mythical beasts guarding the Earth or even existences equivalent to Gods.Although the little black centipede the other day looked very vulnerable as if it could easily die if stepped on at any time, the fact that it was able to enter a small dimensional gate was proof that it was able to navigate the chaotic currents of time and go to other worlds in this vast universe.Now Austin was in the interior of a fairly dense forest. It was far away from the city and there were only a few villages in the forest that maintained a traditional lifestyle amidst the rampant modern lifestyle.Austin stroked his chin as he looke
