"Where were you, buddy!?" Max asked as he looked at his friend who had just entered the house.
Michael grabbed a glass of water from the breakfast table and said while taking a sip, "I ran a little!"Max raised his eyebrows and said, "You ran? Strange! I didn't know you liked running..."Michael shrugged, "Well, I need to train my body a bit to adapt to the new strength, as you know..."Max smiled and said, handing a cup of coffee to Michael, "I envy you, buddy. I'm thinking of finding a wolf and testing my luck... hahaha.""I'm afraid you'll get rabies instead of what you want," Michael mocked while drinking his coffee. He looked around and asked, "By the way, did Aunt Sophie go to work?"Max nodded, "Yes..."Michael placed the coffee cup on the table and then said, holding a small knife from the kitchen without noticing Max, "Well then, let's go to work as well..."Max nodded and they both went out, closing the door behind them. Suddenly, Max heard the sound of a motorcycle engine behind him.He found Michael standing near his motorcycle, walked up to him, and asked in astonishment, "Hey, when did you fix it!?""Oh, it seems I forgot to mention this. I fixed it in the morning," Michael replied while getting on the motorcycle. He added as he started riding, "Don't just stand there like a fool..."Max shook his head and got on behind Michael, asking, "so !Where ... !?"Michael was looking at the interface of the hidden system.[Name: Michael EdmondRace: HumanVersion: 2.0Level: 0 »»» 50/20Lineage: UnknownPoints: 6 pointsPower: 4 (+) / Agility: 2 (+) / Defense: 2 (+) / Health: 2 (+) / Stamina: 2 (+) / Senses: 4 (+) / Intelligence: 2 (+)Abilities:- Clarity (?)]"I have 6 points, one point I had saved earlier, 3 points from the mission, and two points from training..." Michael said, snapping out of his thoughts when he heard Max speak."Let's go to Ninth Street, I need to buy some equipment," Max said.Michael had no comment on the matter. He revved his motorcycle and headed towards the street Max mentioned. As for the points, Michael didn't feel the need to increase his attributes in front of Max. It wasn't that he didn't trust Max, but unfortunately, recent events had changed his personality a little."We're here, we've arrived," Michael said as he removed his helmet.Max dismounted the motorcycle and said as he removed his helmet, "Wait here for a moment..."Max stopped talking when he heard a familiar sound approaching them."Yo! Isn't that max ?!" Both of them turned around to see the person speaking."Oh! Kei, is that you, buddy?"Max shook hands with the tall young man in front of him and spoke in a friendly tone, as if talking to an old friend. Kei was in his mid-twenties with long black hair in a ponytail. His dark skin would have made it difficult to see him if it weren't for his green eyes.From a distance, Michael saw the serious exchange between Max and Kei."This person is carrying a firearm!" Due to his enhanced senses, Michael's enhanced vision allowed him to see that the right side of Kei's jacket was slightly bulging, and if one focused, they could make out the shape of a gun."Despite my current strength, I am weak against bullets. I have six available points. It seems I'll have to change the equal distribution plan between attributes," Michael thought.Michael looked at the agility and defense attributes. "If I increase my speed, I'm sure I can avoid bullets, but I have a hunch that the defense attribute needs enhancement," he concluded.Michael stopped staring at the system interface and looked at Max, who approached him with an unpleasant expression."Michael, lend me $10. That greedy man..." Max pointed to Kei without turning around. "He raised the price of the product again..."Michael raised an eyebrow with a frown and asked while taking out a dollar bill from his pocket, "Find someone else. Don't buy from him. It's not like he's the only one selling in this city.""By the way, what are you buying?""It's a piece for one of the devices in the workshop. It's a rare piece, and so far, this man is the only one we've found selling it."Michael nodded understandingly.He looked at the exchange between Max and the man with blurry eyes, thinking about his next move when he arrived in Los Angeles."Let's get out of here," Max said as he came after and held a cardboard box in his right hand.Michael put his thoughts aside and left the place.Michael and Max rushed on the motorcycle through the empty street, trying to reach the workshop. Michael was driving, and Max sat behind him.Suddenly, they saw a small truck approaching them from the right side. Before they could avoid it, they felt a violent impact that threw them off the bike. The truck had run a red light and hit the motorcycle forcefully, crushing it beneath its wheels. Michael and Max were thrown into the air, injured and broken, before landing on the asphalt with a loud thud.Not far from the accident, the truck came to a stop, not continuing its journey. Motorcycle parts were scattered everywhere.Michael couldn't move , he only felt pain and shock. He saw Max's blood-covered face beside him and tried to reach out to him, but he found no strength. He weakly called out his name. Michael clearly felt that his left arm was broken and he had scratches all over his body.This was not a random coincidence. It was an intentional accident caused by one of the people who hated Max and Michael the most. The door of the small truck opened, and Leo, who had been observing Michael and Max's movements for a while, got out. He had been waiting for the perfect opportunity to execute his plan, and when he saw the motorcycle passing in front of him, he didn't hesitate to step on the accelerator and collide with it.He believed that he had succeeded in his mission. He walked steadily and confidently, slowly pulling out his black gun. Michael, who felt a chill running through his body, had a sixth sense. He gritted his teeth and looked around before his gray eyes, filled with red veins, settled on Leo, who held the gun."It's the same person who was chasing Max last night..." Michael realized.He felt his life was in great danger, something he hadn't felt even when he was facing the vampire.Before he could react, a screen appeared in front of his eyes...Special Mission:The system Discovered the existence of a person with ill intentions towards the host.- Eliminate the target..... 1/0Status: IncompleteReward: 10 pointsFailure = Death ]Michael looked at the mission description with a bitter expression. He never expected this to happen. He supported his body with his right hand and sat on the ground, looking at Leo, who raised his gun and aimed it at Michael."You're the insect who saved the boy called Max..." Leo spoke angrily and resentfully, still pointing his gun at Michael."Because of you, my brother died... That man thinks you're involved with the person who killed George, but me... I don't care about any of these things. I will kill you and then torture your friend, just like that man did to my brother."Michael didn't know what he should do. He didn't understand the reason behind Leo's threat of killing and torturing him. He was unaware of what Leo had gone through. He felt anger and sadness at the same time. Max's cond
[ The value of experience has reached the limits of evolution to the next level...][50/110][ Your level has increased to Level 1][ You gained 1 point.]Michael's facial expressions changed throughout the time he was reading the system messages. He showed astonishment, shock, excitement, sadness, and various other emotions. He suppressed the feeling of excitement and focused on the newly acquired ability that caught his attention. The description of the ability appeared before his eyes.[Phantom Speed: Due to the agility attribute reaching the threshold, the host awakened the phantom speed. Current speed: 90 meters/second.]He was shocked by seeing the description."Hmm! The threshold? Does this mean I can awaken different abilities from the rest of the attributes?" This crazy idea appeared in his mind, which could only accommodate a smile."But before that, 90 meters per second seems like a terrifying number, but I'm used to kilometers per hour..."He raised his right hand and beg
Away from the accident site, inside the abandoned building.Crack!!" Agh !! , Ouch..." Michael let out a painful scream from his mouth as he reset his broken left arm back into its natural position. It was extremely painful and also a strange experience for Michael, who was just a normal powerless student not long ago."I hope this works..." he muttered with a painful expression, sweating profusely as his face turned extremely pale, as if he was losing blood. He took a deep breath and summoned the system interface.[Name: Michael EdmondRace : ????Version: 2.0Level: 1 »»» 100/60Lineage: UnknownPoints: 15 pointsPower: 4 (+) / Agility: 7 (+) / Defense: 2 (+) / Health: 2 (+) / Endurance: 2 (+) / Senses: 4 (+) / Intelligence: 2 (+)Abilities:- Clarity (????)- phantom Speed (????)]He focused on the health attribute and added 10 points to it.After Michael added the points to the health attribute, his eyes widened in astonishment. He felt an explosion of unknown energy inside his
[ you have awakened super health ability...]"I did it, I did it, hahaha..." Michael jumped with joy upon seeing the message floating in front of his eyes. He wasn't sure if it would succeed, he was worried that he would lose 10 valuable points. One point alone was considered a treasure to him, as one point could double one of his ordinary human attributes. Fortunately, his senses were once again accurate.He looked at his heightened sense attribute without consciousness and thought, "This uncanny intuition is likely due to the heightened sense attribute..." His intuition was extraordinary, and every time he followed it, his hunch was never wrong.He calmed down his excitement and focused on the newly acquired ability.[ Super Health: By surpassing the first threshold of the health attribute, the host has awakened the power of super health, enabling him to heal 15 times faster than an ordinary human...]"Huh... 15 times!!"

"so you're hiding here..." Smith said sharply, his voice echoing in the deserted building. His keen sense of smell had led him to this place, and he was 100% certain that Michael was inside. After all, his sense of smell had never failed him in his 124 years of life!Yes, Smith was indeed 124 years old. He was born in 1901 and had lived through both World Wars and survived them. Even at the age of 124, Smith retained his physical and mental strength because, as a vampire, he was different from ordinary humans. Not only in terms of strength but also in terms of lifespan.In myths, vampires are said to be immortal, unaffected by time. However, that's just a legend. There is no truly immortal being in this world. Every person and even things have a certain lifespan, and when it ends, they vanish.As for Smith, being a vampire of the third-class, he could live for about 650 years if no accidents occurred. As for vampires of the second rank, their lifespan was around 300 years, and there'
Smith was once again surprised. He didn't expect that Michael could overcome his own magnetic hypnosis ability. This increased Smith's desire to capture the young man in front of him. Just as he was about to step forward, he heard Michael start speaking."Tell me first, why do you want me to go with you!? With your strength, you could easily kill me here. Why bother keeping me alive!? ... Or do you have another goal besides seeking revenge on the person who I killed , that vampire called George!?"Michael wanted to know the other party's goal before taking any foolish action. Smith answered while reassessing the young man in front of him. The young man in front of him was one of the most dangerous types of individuals. He remained calm in these negative circumstances, which surprised Smith once again."You're right. My goal is not to seek revenge for George's death, or rather, revenge is no longer my goal. It seems that your power has caught the attention of my superiors and other
"It has been a long time since someone was able to hurt me," Smith said indifferently as he brushed the dust off his clothes.The faces of both Michael and Leo changed, especially Leo, who muttered with a frown, "This old man is a monster. I hit him with a punch that exceeded the speed of sound, and yet he didn't suffer the slightest harm..."Michael looked at Smith, then at Leo, and decided to escape after they engaged in a fight against each other. Leo was a stranger to him, and even though he helped, Michael didn't know anything about Leo or his purpose in doing this. Therefore, he would take advantage of their conflict and flee.Smith looked at Leo, raised his eyebrows with a frown, and said in a deep voice, "This emblem... You're an agent of the N.S.S.H. agency..." Leo nodded and said, "You're right." He pointed at Michael with his finger and continued, "Are you planning to violate the treaty between humans and vampires by attacking this man !?"Smith frowned when he heard the
At 8:00 PM, in Houston, United States, Michael looked at the tall building resembling a skyscraper with narrow eyes."We've finally arrived. I hate helicopter rides," Leo grumbled in annoyance, while also gazing at the skyscraper that stood like a beacon in the city, illuminating the entire city.The helicopter slowly descended onto a well-lit rooftop, bustling with people as well."Welcome, to the headquarters of N.S.S.H..." Lisa said with a smile as she stepped out of the aircraft."Let's go," Ramos added, then disembarked from the helicopter.Michael sighed and followed suit, knowing a few things about the three. Although the information they had shared was basic for them, it greatly helped Michael, who was bewildered about this new world he wouldn't have known about if he hadn't acquired the heavenly Werewolf System.The N.S.S.H. agency, short for , National Security for Super Human,had bases in every country around the world. According to the three, this agency was humanity's s
