Jason and the Enigmatic System Chapter 135: Basketball Tournament.
I was ready to head out for the basketball tournament because I knew that my team needed me, and they really needed me.I heaved a sigh as I remembered how exactly the news report had hit that I was doing something so wrong, such as vandalizing the school property and all that.Nevertheless, I decided to find a way to that place and how exactly I would do that was something I didn't know, because I knew that if care wasn't taken I was going to get arrested but I had to deal with Dominic and his men."Oh well I have no other choice but to forge on," I said encouraging myself knowing the threat that faced me.I donned my basketball jersey and shorts along with sneakers under another clothing, with a cowboy hat and glasses to shield my identity.I raced as quickly as my legs could carry me so I could get to school as I watched with caution.'I won't in any form or way use a taxi I could actually get discovered. Besides, my school isn't that far from here.' I thought deep within me.I kep
Jason and the Enigmatic System Chapter 136: Playing.
After I'd finished assessing the court I went on to go and check the Locker room (dressing room) once more and I walked briskly only to enter and see that my teammates looked downtrodden and completely tired of everything that was going on.The atmosphere was really quiet as I could literally feel the tangibility of sadness in the air, it was thoroughly visible in the aspect of the emotional effects that we humans have in environments.I knew that my time with them had really built their confidence but I had bailed out at the last moment focusing on other things and forgetting my team.Even then I decided to forge on and talk to them."Hello guys I know I have not been available but I am available now though. I'm deeply sorry because of my non availability in respect to my presence." I said with all manner of sincerity in my voice.Immediately shock had dominated their faces and they were puzzled as to why he was here after leaving them but in actuality, I came.I noticed this and I
Jason and the Enigmatic System Chapter 137: Winning
The preparations had already been made and after all the necessary preparations the game started and I met up with my teammates, they didn't particularly look enthusiastic at first but I had no other choice than to encourage them.I had no other choice than to do the necessary to engage my skills and I looked at the enthusiastic spirit of my wonderful teammates, they hoped and depended on me as their leader.'I will not fail them. I decided mentally as I prepared my mind for this title with this loser and I know that he is gonna fail.' I thought.I had no other choice than to focus on the game and leave my mental space meanwhile I sighted Dominic and he wore a maniacal grin."Engage Forgetful skill!" Dominic muttered silently.[FORGETFUL SKILL ACTIVATED][OPPONENT USED FORGETFUL SKILL TO WEAKEN YOU AND YOUR OPPONENTS MENTALLY]My system warned me. My suspicion had finally been confirmed so I had no other choice than to employ Luck skill.I noticed that he was about to use that skill on
Jason and the Enigmatic System Chapter 138: Broadcast.
It didn't take long before I heard a commotion. It seemed that something was going horribly wrong.I heard the uproariously great sounds of joy turn into a chaotic scene as fear gripped my newly found fans and I was seemingly deserted as all eyes beamed on the Sport center's entrance.It didn't take long before burly and heavily armed men arrived with their fierce aura literally beaming in the environment."What the heck is going on?" Kelvin hollered the question as he looked at me."I don't know man," I replied to him.I didn't understand what was going on until I saw Dominic smiling maliciously at the corner. It was then I understood the ful
Jason and the Enigmatic System Chapter 139: "Unfavorable Situation"
After making my speech I couldn't help but turn around so I could look at everyone. And to my greatest joy, the live streaming was still going on and even Dominic's buddies were now being skeptical about following them. I could see it in their eyes. I didn't know what actually gave them the boldness to talk and live stream everything but I was glad that all the students present in the basketball court had my back. It was a relief knowing that I didn't just have Paulina and Stephen.Dominic clenched his other fist and aimed the gun at me while yelling, "Stop with this cock and bull story!""Wait!" one of the students suddenly yelled. "He's gonna kill him like he killed the other people!""If anything happens to Jason, we will make sure you pay with
Jason and the Enigmatic System Chapter 140: Taken In
I heard all the students gasp when I crashed to the ground with a loud thud just now. I know it was still shocking for them to see me move like that and save the boy from being killed by Darwin. But then it wasn't too unbelievable and they would definitely attribute my performance to martial arts. My fans among the students had seen me fight with Dominic's former bodyguard before so they definitely knew that I was good at martial arts. And that was the reason I chose Rush Absorption from the beginning. I wanted to make it seem that I was just using my ordinary strength to fight."You're just lucky I'm the only Wade family's main bodyguard sent to eliminate you," Darwin said. "You would have been so dead already if it had been the other players. They wouldn't have even spared the students."Darwin kept shut
Jason and the Enigmatic System Chapter 141: Confession
I opened my eyes slowly and the first thing I saw was a white bulb shining brightly. I groaned as I tried holding my head only to realize that I had been strapped to a table with a handcuff."What the f*ck!" I couldn't help but cuss as I slowly regained my senses. I was currently seated in a police cell with nobody in. I guess Darwin decided to drop me off at the police station and I couldn't help but wonder why. But then I knew it must definitely be Stephen's doing. After all, he had made this plan so he knew how to handle all unforeseen situations.I looked at the silvery handcuff which was glittering under the bulb light and decided to break free from it. But on a second thought, I decided that it would be very much stupid to do something like that. Darwin would definitely be waiting for me to make that
Jason and the Enigmatic System Chapter 142: The Werewolf Player
Seeing the claws snap out of the cop's fingers and hearing his confession, I immediately knew that this person was known other than a player like myself. And his system was no doubt called the Werewolf System.[SEEING HOW THIS IS THE WEREWOLF PLAYER, YOU SHOULD KILL HIM IMMEDIATELY]What do you mean? I couldn't help but mutter inwardly. He's a cop and I don't wanna end up killing a cop.[WELL, THE GOOD THING IS HE WON'T HESITATE TO KILL YOU]F*ck off if you don't have a solution to my predicament, I cussed inwardly.[DING!]I suddenly heard that chiming sound and knew th

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
