[HEALING ACTIVATED]I could see the holographic screen clearly even though my environment was very blurry and I couldn't make out anything.[Health: 50% RECOVERED]Instantly I felt myself being rejuvenated. I could even see my wounds heal visibly. I didn't know who was more startled between the ten gunmen and me. For some time I could see that they weren't able to move because of the shock."Let's get started," a smile played on my face as I clenched my fists very tightly. I still had 10% Rush Absorption left so I could pretty much take down the ten gunmen if I used my time well.Da! Da! Da!They all pulled their triggers at the same time, causing sparks to appear on the ground on which I'd been lying previously."Ah!" I had already rolled away, propping myself up with my left hand because my right hand was currently holding the gun which I had collected from one of the gunmen.Without wasting time I pulled the trigger while remaining in motion. I didn't want to be hit when my Rush Ab
Stephen wasn't giving up as he folded his hands and said, "Are you telling me or I should get the police to detain you till we've investigated how you walked out alright from the shooting spree of twenty gunmen?"Hearing that statement made me shudder as I wondered what that meant. What if the cops decided to torture me in order to bring out the truth? What if I couldn't bear the torture anymore and revealed everything? What would happen?I racked my brain for every possible lie but didn't succeed. It seemed my mind had become blank all of a sudden. This made me very frustrated as I clenched my fists."You're still not saying anything?" Stephen raised his eyebrows. "I've been waiting for minutes now."I opened my mo
I smiled warmly after seeing the new task. It wasn't hard at all and even aligned with what I wanted to do. I immediately helped Paulina out of her wheelchair and placed her on the sofa. She couldn't help but wince in pain during this process."You have to feel at home here," I said. "This mansion is all yours, Paulina."She couldn't believe her ears as she stared at me as if I was some monument. I couldn't help but ask what the matter was and she quickly replied, "You became a multi-millionaire in a space of three days or so."I couldn't help but chuckle, "It's related to something mysterious which I'm trying to figure out. Though what I do is very dangerous, I get high rewards."For example Rush Absorption, Luck, and Heal, I added within myself as I stared into Paulina's eyes. Her blue eyes at this moment were hypnotic, drawing me in. I seemed to drown in them for moments, my face coming closer to her. But I immediately withdrew and said, "Ugh...my bad.""What?" she asked me with he
After some minutes the Enigmatic System responded.[DO NOT EMBARRASS THE SYSTEM. I AM NOT A CHEF]My facial muscles twitched but I wasn't ready to give up. I sighed and said, "That was such a small request for one hundred million dollars. Since you're incompetent and incapable I might as well use the money to purchase a robot with artificial intelligence which can do just that."I immediately added, "I think I saw that robot when heading here."[DEAL. DO YOU WANT TO PROCEED WITH THE TRANSACTION?][YES OR NO]I immediately chose yes and instantly another notification popped up.<
I didn't know the point of time when I fell asleep but I was soon awoken by someone. My eyes opened to see Paulina tugging at me. I rubbed my eyes sleepily as I said, "Sorry I slept off. Hope you weren't bored?""There's no problem," Paulina was smiling. "I was watching TV so I was too occupied to be bored.""That's what you'd say," I smiled. "I know you were bored.""I was not!" she protested by waving her hands. "Believe me I wasn't bored at all!""Whatever," I said as I stood up and stretched my body. I let out a long yawn, my eyes drooping slightly."You seem very stressed out lately," Paulina said. She was a good observer and could even notice the slig
The next day was Friday and I had classes that day. So I needed to go to school to cover up for everything that had been missed during the time I acquired the system. During that time I've been performing one task and mission to another. It had become a herculean routine and going to school would help reduce it (that's if the system doesn't find a way of screwing me up).Paulina was still sleeping when I got up to take my bath and dress up. I went to the kitchen to get some food for her and when I came back she was already awake."Good morning," she greeted me brightly as she rubbed her eyes slowly. Her expression was duller than usual but I felt it was because of her drowsiness after waking up."Morning, Paulina," I said. "How did you sleep last night?"
I then checked the time. It was 7'Oclock. I still had to get myself a new phone since my old one got destroyed after the system left it. Why did I always keep on forgetting important things?!"It seems you're headed somewhere," she said after sizing me up. "You are dressed very nearly.""Yeah," I said. "I wanna go to school to catch up on things that have been missed.""Oh," Paulina revealed a sad expression. "So I will be left alone in this big mansion?""I would have taken you but your condition is still poor," I said. "You have to stay at home and recover. I don't want your condition to worsen.""Yeah," she replied. "Or you want to buy time to go back to
As I drove the car to school everyone couldn't help but turn their heads to gawk at it, suspending what they had been doing. I could all see shock written in their eyes as they wondered who owned such an expensive car. The glasses were tinted so they couldn't see me clearly and I was happy about it. I wanted to make them spend time guessing my identity.I could hear murmurings which soon erupted into a loud discussion as the students pointed at my car, chatting away. I recognized several faces among them, for example Diego who was bullying a young kid who had just arrived in the school—a fresher—and he was merciless. At that moment he turned his head to look at my very expensive Mercedes something something. Even I had forgotten the exact name of the model.I happily did a drift and stepped on the brake, causing the tyres
