In an abandoned and dilapidated factory on the outskirts of Denton city, the clock struck ten in the evening. The sky appeared as a heavy gray blanket enveloping the horizon, releasing heavy drops of cold rain that made a disturbing sound on the surface of the metal factory. The air was damp and cold, carrying the scent of rust and dust.
Smith sat on an old wooden chair, his back leaning against the cold concrete wall. He looked expressionless at the man hanging upside down from an iron hook in the center of the room.Although the face of the suspended man was covered in a layer of dried blood, concealing his features, if Max were here, he wouldn't doubt the identity of this person for a moment. This man was one of the couple relentlessly pursued by Smith in the city streets, under George's orders."Leo, that's your name, isn't it?" Smith spoke with a creepy voice mixed with sarcasm. His voice reverberated in Leo's ears, who trembled with fear. Leo couldn't speak; he just nodded vigorously, trying to please Smith.Smith smiled wickedly and pointed with his bloodstained finger to the body of another man, who was Leo's companion and was with him in the pursuit of Max. "Leo, Leo, you don't want to end up like this garbage, do you? This man was useless, foolish, and stupid. I don't know how the gang employed him." Leo looked at his companion's disfigured corpse, resembling a lifeless doll. His face was pale, and his eyes were wide open in shock. Leo felt horror and regret.He looked at the demon that emerged out of nowhere when he and his companion were roaming the city streets, as it was part of their job to patrol the streets in search of any activity that could harm the gang.Unfortunately, today wasn't their lucky day, as Smith literally appeared out of nowhere. But the problem wasn't just that; the problem was that Leo felt his control slipping away in Smith's presence. He couldn't even muster the strength to speak. They understood that the cause was the old man whom they had never seen before. Leo and his companion weren't fools; they knew that the alternative paths were vampires, and it seemed that this one was stronger than George.Smith brought them to this place when the two learned the reason why a vampire like Smith was moving against them, after hearing from the old man's mouth that George had died.They never expected this turn of events. Although George was arrogant because of being a vampire, they knew well what George was capable of. They literally saw him dodge a bullet one day. But a person like that had died, and above all, they were the last people who saw him according to Smith's investigation of the matter.Leo stopped overthinking as he heard Smith start speaking again."Leo! I want information, not a story about what happened yesterday! What happened? Is your partner insane? If ordinary humans can kill vampires as they please, won't we all end up dead? But I know your partner is not lying, and for some reason, I feel the human has something to do with it..."Smith paused for a moment before asking, "Tell me again, what's the name of that boy?""Cough cough, it's Max! I heard his partner call him by that name," Leo replied in a hoarse and weak voice.Smith stood up and contemplated as he approached Leo, who turned pale upon seeing the demon approaching him."Max!? That's truly mysterious. A human child involved in killing a vampire!"Smith halted in front of the suspended Leo and said, "Look! I'll give you another chance..."Smith's words were like a light at the end of the tunnel for Leo, who believed his fate would be the same as his partner's."Bring me the so-called Max and the other person who was with him... You have only 24 hours.""And don't even think about escaping..." The tone of the threat was clearly evident in his voice.Smith left the place immediately after uttering these words.Boom!Leo fell to the ground. It was a reprieve. He cast a glance at his partner's lifeless body, then picked up the black gun from the ground and left the place, his face covered in blood, which didn't belong to him but to his partner.Leo's heart was filled with anger, hatred, and frustration."Son of a bitch! You caused my brother's death..."Naturally, Leo wasn't referring to Smith as the son of a bitch but Max, who was the reason behind all this chaos.....Max was currently in his cramped room, unaware that he had become a target of the dreaded Blue Pill gang."So!?" asked Michael, lying on the chair.Max smiled and said, "Fortunately, the boss agreed to bring you along..."Michael raised his eyebrows and asked, "How much do I have to pay!?"Max waved his hand and replied, "Actually, you don't have to pay a single penny. He agreed to bring you along for free.""Now go to sleep..."...The next morning, the clock showed 6."What the hell!?" muttered Michael in a low voice, afraid of waking Max from his sleep. Surprise was evident on his face, all because of the message floating in front of him.[Daily Mission:- Run 300 meters without stopping...... 300/0Status: Incomplete- Abdominal exercise................................ 50/0Status: Incomplete- Breath-holding for one minute..... 1min/0Status: Incomplete- Warning!

However, since he got the system, he hadn't received any mission until today."A daily mission!? Does this mean that this mission will appear every day!?" He knew he wouldn't get an answer to his question, but it couldn't help but wonder about it because the word "daily" caught his attention."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 b
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!!" His eyes widened with a mixture of shock, excitement, and
"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
