I was still drowning in my thoughts when Paulina's voice sounded, "So what happened at school? Sophia attacked you?"
Huh? I didn't know how to respond and was baffled for a few moments. I then remembered something the Enigmatic System had said about her being jealous. I suddenly became enlightened at that very moment and managed a small smile.
"Why are you smiling?" Paulina asked me. "Is my statement very funny?"
"Nah," I waved my right hand. "What you asked for is very sweet. I mean, it's as sweet as you are."
I could see her cheeks turn red as she blushed and smiled. I could see dimples appear deeply on both sides of her face and she looked very gorgeous. I couldn't help but wonder where she had been when I dated

Around 10:00 am I had a cold shower and changed my outfit. Now I was dressed in a black hoodie and black combat pants. When I got to the sitting room I saw Paulina already seated watching the News."Jason!" she yelled. "Come and see what you've sparked!"I immediately went there and saw the same female newscaster talking on TV with the headline: Man sparks reaction as he defeats several armed men and cripples them."Jason Lewis is a computer engineer in one of the most prestigious universities in this country," the female newscaster said. "Just recently he's been involved in arguments with Dominic and has been taunting him continuously..."Paulina glared at me after hearing that. I couldn't help but shrink back into
Jason and the Enigmatic System Chapter 49: Promising
After watching the news I decided to tell Paulina about the mission the Enigmatic System had given me. But I decided to do so in a roundabout manner and not expose the existence of the Enigmatic System. I would say someone asked me to get Dominic's files from the police station in twenty four hours. And now it was less than twenty four hours and I'd not even done anything."Paulina," I called her softly as I prepared myself to use the right word in order not to freak her out with what I was about to do.Paulina sized me up for some time before saying, "Let me guess. You're up to something dangerous again, right?"What?! I couldn't help but want to bury my face deep in the sofa. She already saw through me and knew I was ready to do something dangerous! Well, this was really v
Jason and the Enigmatic System Chapter 50: Jealousy
After some moments I replied with seriousness in my voice, "I get. I'm going to come back in one piece no matter what. Not ready to lose any part of my body."Even though I do, the Enigmatic System is gonna heal me, I added inwardly and I could bet my lips were already curling upwards into a warm smile.[IT SEEMS THE PLAYER ISN'T RESPECTING HIMSELF RIGHT NOW]Mind your business! I yelled at the system inwardly. Don't keep poking your nose into my matters!"I trust you then," Paulina told me. "Since you've promised to come back in one piece, I'll trust you with this.""Thanks for giving me your trust," I said to her. "I won't disappoint you no matter what."<

"Stephen Wale?" I asked with a surprised expression. "Stephen Wale is your friend?""Yeah," she replied. "We're best friends at that. Which is why he isn't taking it lightly after discovering that I was involved in an accident. He's bent on bringing justice for me."I clearly knew the Stephen Wale she was talking about. He was the young private detective I'd spoken to some time ago. He was the one who had told me that Dominic's father was backing the government."Seeing how your expression is, I believe you've already met Stephen," Paulina continued."Yes," I replied, remembering how he had interrogated me. "You really have an edgy person for your bestie."
Jason and the Enigmatic System Chapter 52: Sour Relationship
After taking the phone from Paulina I couldn't help but take a deep breath as I said with a stern expression, "Thank you."Paulina stared at me for some moments before asking, "Are we quarreling?"I thought she wouldn't ask since she was keeping a straight face. I immediately replied, "No."Well, the truth was, I wasn't quarreling with Paulina. I was just jealous that she had someone whom she was closer to than me. I'd thought she'd be closer to me since I'd done so much for her. I didn't mean to boast but that was the real truth. I'd done so much for her and yet she was closer to Stephen and saw him as her best friend.Paulina didn't say anything again and resigned herself. I guess we were both angry with each othe
Jason and the Enigmatic System Chapter 53: Terrorists
I didn't immediately come out of the car and remained to see what would happen. My right hand had already moved from the steering wheel to touch the bulge underneath my shirt. I still remembered to carry the revolver I'd taken from one of the gunmen with me. The police had confiscated it but I'd gotten the Enigmatic System to get it back. It was during these few days that I knew that the Enigmatic System was more useful than it seemed. I could even use it to steal guns from the police headquarters and that was very sweet.The door of the van slid open and several masked men immediately came out of it. They were all armed to the teeth and pointed their AK-47s at me. One of them instantly moved towards me while holding his automatic rifle to his side. I can bet one hundred bucks he thought I posed no stress and was very much relaxed since the others were pointing their guns at me.
Jason and the Enigmatic System Chapter 54: Getting Them On My Side
The other ten terrorists became alarmed as they all pointed their guns at me and continued firing. But to their dismay, none of the bullets touched me as I was advancing towards them casually."There's one thing you don't know about me," I said as I clenched my fists. "You can't touch me at all!"I immediately picked my pace and ran towards them as I clenched my fists, "You can't touch me at all!"Pa!I struck someone's face and sent him crashing to the ground before proceeding to hit the others."What kind of monster is he?!" one of them screamed as he staggered backward. "We need to escape!"The
Jason and the Enigmatic System Chapter 55: Violence isn't the Answer
The terrorists looked at each other after hearing me ask them to join me. With the way they narrowed their eyes, they were shocked that I'd actually asked them to join me."Can I ask a question?" someone among the terrorists spoke. They were still kneeling down and I hadn't asked them to stand."Sure," I replied casually as I looked at my phone and checked the time. Damn, I only had twenty hours left to complete the quest or it would be counted as a failure."What's in for us if we join you?" the terrorist asked. "You know, we're not in for money or fame. We just want the stupid government out of the system!"I fell silent for some moments. Up till now, I hadn't known why people became cr
