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
Jason and the Enigmatic System Chapter 24: Surprise
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

"Since you don't know anything about me don't try boasting around me," I finally said and walked into my car, driving away from them. I knew that sooner or later they were going to retaliate but I didn't care about anything like that.[MISSION: DO ONE HUNDRED PUSHUPS IN PUBLIC][REWARD: SAMSUNG GALAXY S24 PLUS][PUNISHMENT: FORFEIT YOUR CAR IMMEDIATELY]Seeing this mission made me smile after reading the reward on the notification screen. But after seeing the punishment I couldn't help but have goosebumps all over my body. How the hell would I forfeit a car right in the eyes of everyone? Then I looked at the mission description and frowned. Doing one hundred push-ups in public? Seriously, system?[DURATION: ONE HOUR][TIME STARTS NOW]When it came to giving out missions the Enigmatic System couldn't be negotiated with. It was very stiff and wouldn't listen to any terms from you. I think it was following a rule which didn't allow it to bypass it.Slowly I came out of the car under the g
Jason and the Enigmatic System Chapter 26: Campaign
Lessons that day were kind of boring. I didn't know if it was because I've found a way to get money without having to engage in any white collar job or Paulina's absence but I suddenly developed a distaste for formal education. I mean, let's be practical. Who would be serious in his education when he could receive millions of dollars for taking tasks or missions? That person would have to be a die-hard fan of formal education to do that.During lunchtime I walked confidently to the cafeteria to get my food. Everyone couldn't help but turn to stare at me as I passed by them. I no longer cared about what they said or how they looked at me. I was now the big boss of the school and it was high time everyone started seeing that. I even developed this smug expression to make me look cooler and aloof.Dominic and Sophia, with the others who had joined him to bully me, were already seated having their lunch. When they saw me enter the cafeteria their expressions turned very sour. Definitely Do
