Inside Gen. Ryker's office, Gen. Ryker could be seen tapping his feet on the ground, deep in thought.His arched eyebrows and twitching facial expression reflected anger and concern.In any case, he should be angry after the report he got last night.Just yesternight, when he had finished the paperwork assigned to him by the commander-in-chief and wanted to enjoy his free time a little, a disturbing result came in.An unidentified student was found dead in the middle of the woods. Not only was he found dead but almost all the flesh of his body was ripped off by likely fire.The forest where the student's body was found didn't look burned in any way, so how come the student's body appeared burnt?As if that wasn't enough, another report came in.This time it was a suicide case. The student had severed her own neck in public, very vicious.He was still trying to find clues to the cause of the first death because that was the most important thing at the moment. The second death was pure s
"Good job. You plan to increase your speed with your spatial ability, how nice," Erix muttered as he watched the boy run toward him at a tremendous but not overwhelming speed.Even without his boots, he could easily catch up to the boy's speed.As soon as the boy was close enough, he ducked his leg right at Erix, but Erix swiftly stepped aside and dodged the attack."Perfect, just what I wanted," Erix's opponent muttered with a smile before increasing his speed and executing a side leg kick when Erix least expected it.By the time Erix saw this attack, it was already too late to dodge, but since he had his speed boots on, he turned onto his back in a flash, causing the boy's leg to kick nothing but air."What the hell? When did he get so fast? I can barely see his movements now," the boy thought aloud in shock, looking at Erix as if he had seen a speedster."I kinda heard that, buddy. Don't worry, I'm just getting started," Erix said with a grin before rushing at the boy with a punch.
Erix was a little taken aback when he heard what the unfamiliar boy said.A little boy like him couldn't possibly be the owner of the famous VR game, that was just impossible.No, this must be a joke. A random strange teenager couldn't possibly be the owner of one of the biggest game companies in the world, that's outlandish.Still, even if the boy was the owner of the game, why was he here? What does he want from him?"You've got to be kidding me, right? For you to be the owner of such a famous game, isn't that a bit over the stretch? Let's be honest, there's just no way you're the owner of this game," Erix said casually, hoping the boy would admit he was just joking, but the boy remained calm and collected, obviously unaffected by Erix's taunts."I'm not here to prove anything to you, dude. If you had any sense, you'd know that a random someone can't just interrupt your game out of nowhere, but that's just by the way. I came for something much more important, not just to prove myself
Salvador's question made Shota pause before he could reach the door.Salvador wanted to know why he had decided to come himself.Well, he didn't actually know why he wanted to be the one to check on Salvador. The only reason he could think of was that he didn't want any of his friends to be alone with Salvador since he doesn't really trust him.But there was more to that, and he didn't know what it was."I came here personally because I don't trust you to be alone with my friends. I'll take my leave now," Shota replied without turning around to look at the boy.And right after saying that, he left the room."He'll never trust me, will he?" Salvador muttered and lay back on his bed.Last night was one of the worst moments of his life. Shortly after returning to his room last night, he heard a knock on his door.Without thinking twice, he went to the door and opened it. He had thought it was Erix or one of Erix's friends, but unfortunately, he didn't know he was about to suffer a pain
On a dark planet far from Earth, where the sun never shines, a seemingly young man was seen sitting comfortably on his throne in a castle in one of the eight unique cities.Although outwardly he was a young man, on the inside, he was just an old man who had lived for many centuries.He sat on his throne with his legs traversed. Judging by his face, he clearly didn't look happy.Well, not that he was ever happy. As a demon leader, he hardly had time to rest or take care of himself because he was always busy taking care of the city's affairs, so he was never happy. Every day many demons were put to bed, and every day many demons died as well, so it's a constant process of building up and breaking down, and the same goes for the resources needed to maintain them."I wonder what this idiot is doing on Earth right now," Lord Baagul thought aloud.This has become a habit. He always speaks out his thoughts whenever he was alone."Tania and Odin should be back by now. What's holding them? If
Erix was furious.Shota's movements were so fast that he didn't even know when he got close enough to hit him.Erix wasn't angry at Shota, he was angry at himself. He had gotten distracted and was now paying for it with his face.He also broke his spinal cord as his back was the most affected by the impact.Several pieces of debris fell as Erix hit the wall. He had hit the exact spot he hit earlier after Shota's blow.[-20 HP][Blood bank auto-activated][40/40 HP]Erix's injuries, which had been slow to heal, now began to heal faster. A few seconds later, all the injuries on his body healed, including his broken spinal cord.Erix lifted him off of the ground when he felt that all the injuries on his body were gone. The reason he didn't get up right away was that he didn't want the people there to see his unnatural healing ability.He had already caused quite a stir when he displayed his blood slash, and if he added another one now, it might arouse unnecessary suspicion and he didn't w
Erix and Shota made their way back to their room.When they got there, it turned out that Rin was already back. He was lying on the bed with his back, resting.When Erix was about to pass Rin's bed to go to his, he happened to catch sight of Rin's watch and immediately froze in shock when he saw the number now displayed on it.Rin had leveled up twice since he had last checked his level. He was now at level eight.Erix shifted his gaze to Rin's body to check if anything was different, and sure enough, Rin's body had changed quite a lot that he hadn't noticed until now.He looked more muscular and masculine now than before. He also seemed to have gotten a little taller, just a little.His chest stood out more than usual, which surprised Erix. And even the weight and size of his arm had apparently increased as well.'What the hell is going on here? Humans don't grow this way. Why is Rin getting better at everything so fast?' Erix wondered as he continued to scan Rin's body as though he w
After several discussions, it was finally time for Rin to leave. And he left quickly, without wasting any time.Nicole had joined in the discussion just before Rin left."Are you sure he's going to be okay?" Nicole blurted out, looking at Erix. Her tone showed that she was worried."Absolutely, he'll be fine. He can protect himself well enough unless he is outnumbered." Erix replied confidently."How so?" Nicole asked. "Don't forget he's only a level 4 ability user. Well, I can say that his ability is pretty strong and useful in battle, but that alone will not be enough to win a fight readily?""And who says he is only a level 4 ability user? Perhaps you don't know, but he has improved over time. He's at level 8 now, so I'm sure he'll be able to protect himself well." Erix explained."Oh, I see, then I should stop worrying about him," she replied with a smile.Orah was a little jealous when he heard Nicole's words.'Will she be bothered when I am in danger?' Orah thought, but he had no
