We successfully drove back to my mansion and I couldn't help but finally heave a sigh of relief after getting to safety. As I got out of the car I discovered that my legs were all wobbly and I couldn't even stand properly. I went to help Paulina anyway and took her to the house.
"I've never encountered something this dangerous in my entire life," Paulina said as she winced in pain. "Even when the gunmen attacked back then it wasn't as dangerous as this."
I couldn't help but agree with her on this. I would have lost my life if not for Paulina and the man who had suddenly taken the Initiative to buy us time to escape. I couldn't understand his motive but I was still thankful. Without him I and Paulina would have been killed by Darwin.
"Even for me w
After a few minutes Stephen arrived at my mansion and his expression was very sullen as if he had come out of a fight with someone. I didn't bother with him and watched as he sat down on the same sofa he had sat down on before. He crossed his legs casually before greeting me and Paulina."You don't allow me to rest for one day," Stephen said immediately."It's not my fault," I immediately protested. "It isn't my fault that I encounter unfortunate events on a daily basis.""Yeah," Stephen said. "And you end up implicating me."I was about to say something when Paulina said, "Guys? We have an important matter at hand."I didn't say
As I drove my car across the highway I couldn't help but think about Paulina's quest. Stephen had already given us the location and was also accompanying us there. I was filled with so much worry for my girlfriend that I couldn't help but turn my head to look at her every five seconds."Why are you looking at me like that?" she asked me."I'm just worried, you know," I told her. "This is your very first quest and I don't know how you're gonna handle it."Paulina couldn't help but smile as she stared right into my eyes, "Don't worry about me, Jason. I'll be fine.""No, you won't," I said firmly. "Your quest is to provoke a gang and get them to follow you into a desolate building. It's very
I remained in my car and saw the gang members turned really angry. I then saw Paulina turn around and run towards a building which had not yet been completed."Stop right there!" one of the gang members yelled as they drew out something from within their pants. I instantly became alarmed because I knew what they had just drawn out of their pants."Are you sure we shouldn't rush to help Paulina right now?" I couldn't help but stare at Stephen as I stared back at him. It was very surprising that I was asking for his opinion on matters right now considering how often we bickered."She said we should trust her and so we should," Stephen said casually. "Just trust her.""But that doesn't mean
As I drove Paulina and Stephen across the highway I couldn't help but become filled with joy. Paulina had finally leveled up from level zero and was now officially a real player just like me. It was something which called for celebration.[WHO TOLD YOU THAT YOU'RE AN OFFICIAL PLAYER. HECK, YOU'RE JUST LEVEL 3]"It seems someone has forgotten his little secret and grown wings," I muttered with a warm smile as if it could see my face. I felt really good blackmailing the Enigmatic System. It actually took me to a whole different level."What secret do you have?" Stephen suddenly asked me from the backseat. "You've been talking about this for a long time now and I'm beginning to wonder whose secret you're holding." We got to the mansion and Paulina immediately went to prepare some food for us. While waiting for her, I and Stephen decided to watch some football. Surprisingly this was the only thing we agreed on and it was really relieving. He had annoyed me earlier and this was the only thing he could do to make up for the errors he committed against me at this moment.After minutes of watching the match silently, Stephen finally cleared his throat. I knew he was going to talk and I prayed he didn't say something offensive."So have you ever thought of taking your relationship to the next level?" Stephen asked me.I didn't need to fall into a deep thought to answer that question, "Yeah. I love Paulina so much and I'm willing to even marry her. Why are you askJason and the Enigmatic System Chapter 106: One Level Short
That same day after eating we decided to do some training. First I wanted to see how strong Paulina's player skills were and also needed to see how effective my new player skill would be against Stephen. So we left the house after eating and went to the wide lawn so that we could do our training."Do you think this is the best place to do the training?" Paulina asked me as she looked around. "Aren't you afraid of having this lawn destroyed?""I can always tell the Enigmatic System to fix it," I said to her. "I'm very good at bargaining."[YOU ARE BECOMING BOLDER AND BOLDER]I didn't say anything and pretended not to see the message. I didn't want to engage in any argument with the Enigmat
After Paulina was done with her training, Stephen turned to me and told me that we could now commence with ours. He had a deadpan expression and I couldn't help but wonder if he was going to use this medium to beat the hell out of me."Remember we're sparring," he started talking. With the way I was talking I actually thought he would say he was going to go easy on me because we were sparring. But the next statement he made shocked me."Use all your strength because I won't go easy on you," Stephen said as he kept a fighting stance. "Your enemies aren't going to go easy on you so take this as a lesson."I nodded and didn't say anything as I also kept a fighting stance. I then told him, "Don't think of killing me for my player level and skills."
"Activate Rush Absorption!" I yelled as I also charged towards Stephen who was running towards me. In this scenario where he was using several offensive player skills at me, Rush Absorption was the ideal skill to use. This was because it could make me become stronger from taking damage. It was the perfect touch I needed right now.[RUSH ABSORPTION ACTIVATED][DAMAGE: 50%][RUSH ABSORPTION: 50%]When Stephen neared me, he thrust out his right palm at my face. I immediately moved my head out of the way and I felt a strong gust of me rush by."Ah!" I yelled as I struck him in the face, sending him skidding backwards. I wasn't surpri
