Hia eyes snapped open as he felt something like ice water pouring over him. 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. This was the first time he had seen anyone with an appearance and demeanor as terrifying as the man in front of him."W-who are you? Where am I?"The bi
There was nothing Austin was more worried about than those closest to him. Those who dared to interfere with his people more than deserved the most gruesome death they could receive.Although there were many people who took refuge under Austin's banner, the man showed no strong favoritism at all and gave them a life worthy of their fond memories.Moreover, those who accepted Austin's help were more than willing to follow the young man forever. For them, there was nothing better than following Austin all their lives.But now one of the homeless people whose life Austin saved is likely to be affected by the 'suicide disaster' that is engulfing Winston.Austin might not be too concerned about the safety of other people's lives, but it's a different story when it's his own. He never claimed to be a saint, nor did he ever think of himself as a savior, he just tried to give those people what they deserved when they couldn't get it, happiness.Luna, Finley, Audrey, Vin and Zod gathered in th
There were only two young men in the small bookstore. 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 would think of another way he could meet Lily today or
In one of the public schools in the city of Winston, a teenage boy stared at the textbooks on his desk with focus. Understanding every subject matter is his duty as a student, that's what his mother always emphasized to him.Austin Barnett, a smart and model student at Winston High School. Outsiders may think Austin is a person who is respected and admired by everyone, but in fact it is not what they imagine.Born in a deprived family made him the subject of ridicule by all students, his mediocre appearance and small body posture seemed to attract bullies to bully him.There was only one advantage of Austin Barnett, his brain. He was a genius who always won various provincial Olympiads and never lost an academic battle with other participants from any school. That's what makes him the smartest student in Winston High School, it's also what makes him able to survive in school even though others always look down on him.Occasionally Austin looked at his study table that was filled with m
Like most people, what Austin did after getting a million dollars at once was of course shopping. He didn't dwell on his sadness for too long, after all with a lot of money everything will be easier, including getting women.[Exchange Points: 1,350 points]An hour earlier, he tried to answer some easy questions that the system asked him. As the system mentioned earlier, easy questions were rewarded with 10 Exchange Points for each question. As a result, he answered 129 questions in no time, which increased his exchange points by thousands.Only this time Austin didn't immediately exchange all those points for money. Maybe later the points will be more useful for other things. Although his poor condition really needs money."It turns out that there are tens of thousands of lists of easy questions, if I answer them all, that means I can get hundreds of thousands or even millions of exchange points. I wonder what the questions on the hard level or even the challenging level contain? I'll
On the Winston side of town, more precisely in the western district, where Winston's low-income residents live, the scenery in the western district is very different from the other districts.A middle-aged woman in her mid-thirties was painstakingly lifting a container filled with various ingredients for her to sell the next day. That woman is none other than Selina Barnett, Austin Barnett's mother.In order to support her only child and herself, she makes selling her handmade snacks her source of income. It's not much, but it's enough to feed them both at least three times a day.But with staple food prices rising every year, she only makes a small profit. Selina wiped the sweat from her forehead lightly, "the price of ingredients is getting more expensive every day. Should I change what I sell to something else? But that doesn't guarantee it will sell out..."Selina sighed softly, "I should focus on what I'm doing now. Let me think about it later."The rattling of the wooden door of
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
