That night I lay on the bed as I stared at the ceiling. I remembered how I'd read a case about Dominic killing an entire family in an accident. And instead of being arrested and punished by the law, everything was swept under cover as if nothing had happened. And so that family of three died without any form of justice or whatsoever. The only person who had survived back then was Stephen who had been immediately chosen by the Buddha System. And now he was now a private detective working with the law to bring criminals to justice. He was now a respectable individual whom the other cops looked up to.
To think Dominic had also committed a hideous crime against someone like Stephen Wale and was still breathing made me reevaluate my thoughts of his father, Wade. Did the man hold such power that even Stephen didn't dare stand up to him? Stephen now clearly knew that Domi
I smiled as I listened to the ex terrorist talk over the phone. It was at this moment I knew that these former terrorists actually knew a lot of people and places. In terms of connections they were far superior to me!I couldn't help but feel happy that they had joined me. People like this had actually become my henchmen without me even having to try hard. It really felt great and I couldn't help but thank my Luck skill for making this happen to me. It all felt like a dream!Just today I had successfully completed my quest even though I'd not been rewarded by the Enigmatic System. Now I was getting good news that the terrorists had given up crime and were ready to join me. They even promised to bring their other colleagues and introduce me to several people who had been supportive of their cause.
I was filled with so much excitement after receiving the notification that I was now a level three player. My smile became so wide that I became afraid that my lips were going to tear up to the sides of my head if I didn't stop smiling at that moment."I can't believe I'm now a level 3 player!" I didn't know when I yelled again. Paulina stirred again and mumbled something in her sleep.After I saw that she didn't wake up I heaved a sigh of relief as I looked at the other notifications which hadn't yet disappeared from the air."One billion coins," I muttered to myself as my eyes became shiny. "More money, more power.""System, convert the coins into money and transfer it into my bank acco
After having the sumptuous meal I took my bag and left and thanked her. I didn't even turn back to glance at her like I usually did and dashed out of the sitting room. I got into my car and sped out of the mansion to a far distance.Well, the reason for going so far from the mansion wasn't for me to keep my new player skill a secret. No, Paulina already knew that I had skills. There wouldn't be any difference if I stayed at the mansion to practice my new skill since she already knew. The reason for leaving my mansion was for uncertain events. I wasn't really sure of my new player skill apart from knowing that it would help me to download information which I've studied accurately and store it in my brain. The information would then be transmitted into my body so that I would be a master of what I'd studied.
When I found myself several meters off the ground I was scared down to my pants. This was because I was actually afraid of heights. If not for the fact that I now had two respawns I wouldn't have attempted something as dangerous as this. Falling from a great height would mean instant death from me. Even my Rush Absorption wouldn't be able to save me once I fell from a great height."I can do this," I took a deep breath and closed my eyes again before stretching out my hands. "I can soar to great heights."I then focused on maintaining this flight ability I had gotten from the Download skill. The next time I opened my eyes, I found myself high up in the sky. You couldn't imagine the terror I had that very moment when I stared at the ground. Everything had become very small from where I was hovering. I could feel the wind blowing against my face, giving me a cool sensation. I almost felt sleepy but something wild awake in my mind stopped me from doing somet
The last player skill I had to test out was my Luck skill and I had very high hopes for it. This was because this skill had actually helped me to escape death when the level ten player had me in his clutches and I hadn't been able to escape even with all the strength I had accumulated from Rush Absorption.This Luck skill had proven to be a very important player skill that I had. Even when the other skills were locked, I was still able to go far with my Luck skill. Although it wasn't a skill which helped me in direct combat, it was still great. Imagine trying to blow me up with a lightning strike and then the opponent ends up blowing up his companion or even himself due to the luck I had. It was really insane."Activate Luck skill," I told the Enigmatic System as I decided to test something out right now. It would be definitely dangerous but it was worth the risk.[LUCK SKILL ACTIVATED]"Great," I immediately responded. "Now I want you t
After hearing about the basketball contest which would be held to choose the captain of the school's basketball team, I couldn't help but become excited as I began looking forward to that very day. My Joker personality acted at that moment, making me smile more than usual. Well, the other students weren't bothered and began talking to me."Make sure you defeat Dominic so shamefully like you've done before!""Yes! Defeat him so hard that he wouldn't be able to get back up.""Yes!"As the students relayed their thoughts to me I couldn't help but take a deep breath and smile. For once in my life people were now placing their trust in me. They were now hoping for me to do something. There was a strange feeling to it but I was enjoying that feeling."I won't disappoint you," I told the students. Then I asked, "When will the contest be held?""By next month," a female student replied. "I think the school is waiting for Domin
I didn't dare run when the man walked in my direction. He had already seen me but I suspected he hadn't yet known I was the one who sneaked into the police headquarters and made away with Dominic's criminal records. If he actually knew I was the one then I was as good as dead. After the fight that day I knew that this man didn't care about using his player skills in public. In fact he could even kill me right here on the campus and no one would be able to stand up to him. And as usual, the whole matter would be swept under the carpet.I didn't stop as I turned around and walked towards him casually with my hands in my pockets to hide their trembling. I almost laughed out loud but I ultimately held myself and didn't do so. If I did that then the man would be able to link me to the person from last night. And that was not what I wanted to happen.Soon we neared each other and stopped at the same time as if we had been reading each other's movements. I stare
During lunchtime, I went to the cafeteria to have my lunch and as usual I paid for the lunch of the students who followed me. I also didn't forget to deliver my usual speech to keep their hearts and blood beating and boiling for me. If I wanted to become the school's big face, then this was a necessary step I had to take. Nothing could be gotten without a sacrifice. As I sat down to have my meal of oatmeal cookies and a chocolate drink, several girls passed by and winked at me. I only smiled at them politely but I wasn't interested in any of them. I knew they were only trying to get my attention because of the wealth I possessed. They weren't ready to fall in love with me but the money I had. As I ate the oatmeal cookies I discovered that they didn't taste that good and were overcooked, making them all look soggy like toothpaste. The chocolate drink however diluted the taste, giving me a refreshing feeling.
