2024-08-13 01:00:15After some time I got up from the ground and stood up while staring at Stephen. I hadn't seen him use such a player skill before and I was truly scared. What if I had died from that blast earlier? Would I have been able to respawn? I wasn't even sure I still had any respawn yet. I could always ask the Enigmatic System later.
[WHAT HAPPENED TO ASKING NOW?]
The Enigmatic System sent me a message but I ignored it and said to Stephen, "How many player skills do you even have?"
"Six," he told me. "And all of them are at level ten now."
"What?!" I was very shocked and couldn't help but exclaim. "All your player skills are at level ten?!"

I stood frozen in place without moving for some time. I didn't know how to even begin fighting Stephen who was way more powerful than me and successfully landing ten hits. A level six player like him who had six player skills was way more powerful than me.Stephen saw through my expression and asked, "Are you gonna fight me with that expression of yours?"I took a deep breath and replied, "Something like that."Paulina, who heard me say that, showed a shocked expression as she turned to look at me, "You don't mean it, Jason. Didn't you see what he did earlier?"I chuckled as I patted her shoulders, "It is a mission and I must complete it no matter what."
Jason and the Enigmatic System Chapter 112: Narrow Victory
I continued running for one minute and my speed began building up till I was now moving in a blur. Stephen kept blasting in the wrong direction and I knew that he couldn't catch up with me any longer. In order to be able to move at the same speed as I was moving at currently, he had no choice but to deactivate his Blast skill. This was just how player skills worked. A player couldn't use two skills at the same time. He could only use them consecutively. I didn't know for players way higher than me, but from what I've seen this was how it was. Even Darwin who was a level ten player could only use his player skills consecutively and not at the same time."Take this!" I yelled as I moved towards the back and released a powerful punch at the back of his neck with all my strength. He was sent flying into the air with the impact and I immediately used that chance t
Jason and the Enigmatic System Chapter 113: Powering Up
When I woke up I was already lying in a bed with Paulina sitting beside me. Stephen was standing near the window and had his arms crossed. The rays of sunlight seeped into the bedroom, dying it crimson. If one didn't pay close attention, they would think my room was covered in blood stains. It took me some minutes to remember why I was lying in bed. I had used Rush Absorption beyond my maximum limit while fighting Stephen. This made me suffer a great strain on my body despite using the Healing skill. If I had not been lucky enough I would have already imploded myself despite using the Luck skill on time."Welcome back from the land of the dead, Jason," Stephen said casually as if he had no regard for my life. Twice while fighting him I had almost lost my life and I was really upset with him right now.Paul
Jason and the Enigmatic System Chapter 114: Sword of Thor
I was still smiling when Stephen said, "You need to be at least a level five player to be considered good."I wanted to retort when I remembered that it was from level five where I could go to the virtual reality for missions. It was from level five where I would really become a game player! I couldn't help but become a little depressed because of this and felt that my level was too weak to do a thing about the Wayne family."Don't say that, Stephen," Paulina rubbed my shoulders. "He's now level four and that's what matters. For me, his leveling up is faster than yours. It has not even been a month and he has advanced from being a level zero player to level four. And it's been only three levels up if I'm correct."I smiled at Paulina before saying
Jason and the Enigmatic System Chapter 115: Sentiment
The next day I and Paulina went to school in my Mercedes Benz. As usual, my fans were very thrilled to see me and rushed towards my car to meet me when I finally pulled over to park. I couldn't help but imagine the shock that would be on their faces when they would see Paulina back on her feet. She had been crippled some days ago and now she was walking very fine. Something like this was capable of causing a big stir in school. Someone like Sophia who was trying all her best to win back my heart wouldn't be able to take this.The door slid open and I was the first to come out of the car, my right leg stepping on the ground. My fans immediately began talking among themselves in an excited tone. I could tell that they were really very happy to see me. I hadn't been in school for some time now and for fans who deeply loved me, that was a very long period of time. I co
Jason and the Enigmatic System Chapter 116: One Man, Two Women
Classes commenced that day and I wasn't even paying attention to a single lesson by the lecturers. This was because I knew I would be able to know what they were teaching even without paying attention. With my Download skill always activated during lessons, I wasn't afraid of forgetting what the lecturer was teaching even though I didn't even have a single notebook to jot what was being taught.During lunchtime, I went to the cafeteria as usual and met with my fans who were already waiting for me. I paid for their meals and sat down to order mine and Paulina's. I had given her a message using the Enigmatic System and she said she would be with me in fifteen minutes."Hello," a female student walked towards me."Hello," I said without paying much a
Jason and the Enigmatic System Chapter 117: Unbelievable Recovery
After Paulina's escapade with the girl she shamefully departed from the cafeteria. I could even see her wipe her eyes as she sniffed while going out of the cafeteria. Paulina had dealt her a very big blow and all the students had filmed the event. She remained scarred for life till she graduated from school. But then I heard that she was in her first year in school so it was really going to be a very long period of time before the scar which Paulina had welded into her heart would be removed."I never knew you had it in you," I said to her as I ate a piece of hamburger.Paulina rolled her eyes as she said, "Don't tell me you don't still know everything about me after staying with me for several days now."I don't know everything about you, I sai
Jason and the Enigmatic System Chapter 118: Faceoff
Dominic stared at me for sometime as if contemplating on what to say. He just stared at me without saying anything. I didn't say anything as well and stared straight into his eyes. I felt Paulina's hands on mine and I couldn't help but turn to look at her."Let's just ignore this riffraff for the meantime," Paulina said. "He's obviously not our class and isn't even worthy of our time."After Paulina said this, Dominic couldn't help but glare at her as he clenched his fists and grit His teeth. In the past, I would have been afraid of his glare but right now I am very much different. The Jason today was very much different from the Jason of yesterday. I was no longer the weak student who always used to be bullied in the past. I was now even capable of bullying even bullies.

Epilogue
The last ten months with Paulina have been incredible, way beyond what I ever imagined. Every day feels like a new adventure, and even our quiet times are filled with happiness.Still, I can’t help but worry about the Enigmatic System being gone and whether I played a part in that. It was the reason I got to where I am now, and I feel a real connection to it. It’s tough knowing I couldn’t help it, but can a system really be more than just a bunch of codes?I’m not the only one feeling this way; the whole team is mourning the loss since their systems shut down around the same time. No matter how cutting-edge our tech is, it just can’t match the unique intelligence of the system.As I sat in the living room, I opened up to Paulina, who was snuggled up next to me, really listening."I can’t shake this feeling, Paulina," I confessed. "I know it sounds odd, but it feels like I’ve lost a piece of myself. You get it; you were part of it too."She gave my arm a comforting squeeze. "I totally
Chapter 221: Perfect Proposal
After we got ready, we strolled hand in hand, with Paulina playfully urging me to spill the beans, but I just couldn’t do it. It was a surprise, and I wanted to keep it that way. We left the VIP room, and a staff member gave me a knowing look before leading us down a hidden hallway. Paulina’s eyes were wide with curiosity as we moved away from the usual crowd. At the end of the corridor, we passed through a sleek, unmarked door that opened up to a private elevator.Paulina squeezed my hand, her eyebrows shooting up in excitement. “Jason, what’s happening? This feels like something out of a movie!”I just smiled and stayed quiet, relishing the suspense that was making her even more curious. As the elevator doors closed, I could feel her gaze on me, searching for hints I wasn’t ready to give away.When the doors finally opened, we stepped out onto the rooftop, and there it was—a stunning black helicopter waiting for us, its blades shimmering in the sunlight, with the pilot already on st
Chapter 220: How Much She Meant To Me
As Paulina rested peacefully on the bed, her sleeping face looked even more beautiful than I always knew. In the luxurious VIP suite, surrounded by plush decor and soft lighting, I felt a strange blend of tranquility and anxiety. I wandered over to the mirrored table where the ring I had bought on credit from that Enigmatic System sparkled softly in the glow. Holding it up, I couldn’t help but admire its detailed craftsmanship. The ring was so shiny and seemed transparent, capable of absorbing light. The several beautiful and unfamiliar stones around it made it more beautiful. My eyes sparkled with admiration, but the silence from the Enigmatic System was palpable and a bit unsettling. Not a single word or sound all day, which felt odd. Was it giving me space because I was with Paulina and it understood my plight? Or had my time with it somehow made it feel... more human? That thought left me feeling both intrigued and cautious.I shook off those thoughts; there were more urgent iss
Chapter 219: A Night to Remember
The restaurant buzzed with energy as we arrived. Soft ambient lights wrapped around us, and the rich aroma of gourmet dishes filled the air. As we walked in, I could feel the gaze of other diners on us, and I welcomed it. This was my moment—a chance to reveal the man I had become.“Welcome back, Mr. Lewis!” The hostess greeted me with a warm smile. “Your usual table?”“Yes, please,” I replied, glancing at Paulina. She looked radiant in her elegant dress, her beauty captivating. I felt a surge of pride to be with someone as remarkable as her.er.We were guided to a cozy corner table adorned with fresh flowers and flickering candles. As we settled in, I couldn’t help but admire Paulina. “You look stunning tonight,” I said, reaching across the table to take her hand.“Thank you, Jason. You look charming too,” she replied, her smile lighting up the dim room. “I love this new confidence in you—it’s inspiring.”“Confidence comes with knowing my true worth,” I replied, feeling a surge of emp
Chapter 218: Confrontation
The tension in the boutique thickened as I faced every John and the woman employee. My coronary heart raced, no longer out of worry but from the boiling anger that surged through me. Here I grow to be a modified guy who has risen from the depths of despair, and those two have been the reason for dragging me back down. "Listen right here," I commenced out, my voice steady but laced with authority. "You haven't any idea who you're talking to. I may have been the underdog, however I’m no longer that character. I will no longer stand idly with the useful resource of while you belittle me or my female friend."John laughed, a mocking sound that echoed through the boutique. “Oh, what are you going to do? Throw a tantrum? You do not scare me, you little peasant. You have to be thankful that a person like her even seems your way.”Paulina had subsequently discovered the commotion. She strode over, her expression moving from interest to venture. “What’s going on right here?” she demanded, eyes
Chapter 217: Proposal
After picking the case up I tucked it away in my pocket and it to the sitting room. I saw Paulina in the sitting room pacing about. Obviously, she was a bit nervous about the date she was going to have with me. At this moment she didn't look like the bold and confident woman I used to know."Sorry for keeping you waiting," I said with an apologetic smile. "I had to do something.""I know," Paulina flashed a smile at me. She actually understood I could suddenly become busy at times because I was a player."So let's go shopping," I said as I grabbed her right hand and led her out of the sitting room. We got into my expensive Mercedes Benz and drove away.I decided to stop at a five-star boutique and get some new clothes and jewelries which we were going to wear tonight for our date. I'd already set up everything except for the clothes.As expected the boutique premise was already filled with so many flashy cars. Many wealthy people usually came to buy their wears from this boutique. It
Chapter 216: Buying on Credit
After some moments of silence, the Enigmatic System finally spoke. His voice was no longer sad and it had resumed the usual emotionlessness.[I HAVE A RING WHICH MATCHES YOUR DESCRIPTION BUT IT IS REALLY COSTLY]"Costly?" I couldn't help but raise my eyebrows. "How costly?"[IT IS 5,000 POINTS]"Huh?" I was surprised after hearing that. The Enigmatic System usually made use of coins but now it had switched to points. What was really happening?I had only come across the term, 'points', from Stephen Wale. Back then I'd asked him why he wasn't wealthy and he had told me that his system uses points instead of coins. I'd come across other players and they were not as wealthy as I was. This was because their systems made use of points which could not be converted to real money like the virtual coins the Enigmatic System made use of.[WELL, THERE IS THIS NEW POLICY THAT BANS SYSTEMS FROM USING COINS. WE CAN ALL ONLY USE POINTS FROM NOW ON]"So that's another reason you were punished by that
Chapter 215: The Enigmatic System's Plight
After asking the Enigmatic System about the ring it suddenly fell silent for some moments. I didn't know why it didn't respond to me as usual and it bothered me. I even began thinking that something bad had really happened to the Enigmatic System. Maybe the Creator System which had the consciousness of the systems' creator had decided to place a restriction on the Enigmatic System for behaving more and more like a human instead of the system it was expected to be.I'd watched a cyberpunk movie and there was this artificial intelligence which evolved beyond how it was created. It started becoming more and more like a human being, alarming the creators. In order to prevent the artificial intelligence from gaining sentience and toppling the authority of humans, they decided to destroy it. The artificial intelligence fought a good battle but it could not outmatch humans. With regrets, it parted with the woman it loved as it was shut down by the scientists who created it. They later had th
Chapter 214: Blissful Plan
After the lunch, Stephen announced that he was leaving. He had so many things to catch up on and there was no more time. Nudging his glasses he turned around to leave."Take care, Steve," Paulina said, causing him to turn back slightly. There was a complicated emotion in Stephen's eyes, something I had never seen before."Sure," he nodded and turned to look at me. I could tell that he was asking me not to mention what he had told me earlier to Paulina.I nodded slowly as I said, "Take care, Stephen. You can come up with several contingency plans during your free time.""Believe me," Stephen wasn't smiling. "I already have a contingency plan for every scenario.""Do not slack off in your training," I said."I will come often to spar with you," Stephen said. "Get stronger than me so that you can push me beyond my limit."I smiled as I secretly clenched my fists tightly, "Don't worry. I'll become so strong that you'd be crushed by my gaze."And that was the truth. I wasn't just bluffing
