The sitting room was silent for some moments as every one of us was embedded in his own thoughts. I couldn't help but wonder how long this silence would last because it was becoming too heavy for me to bear.[YOU STILL HAVE ME]Don't me shout at you, system, I said inwardly so as not to disturb anyone's thoughts. [STOP SAYING WHAT YOU CANNOT DO]The Enigmatic System sent another message but I didn't reply and swiped the holographic screen from my face."From what I know Mr. Wade isn't that simple himself," Stephen finally broke the silence and I was glad he actually did that. I was very emotional and wanted to hug him at that moment but held myself.This my Joker personality is developing into something else, I couldn't help but clench my fists in order to control myself from acting on my impulse. And my impulse was telling me to stand up and give Stephen a big hug."He has Darwin as one of his bodyguards based on my investigations," Stephen continued. "There are a bunch of other bod
After talking about the Download skill we soon decided to get back to the matter at hand. The Wade family had now made it clear that they are after me so I needed to find a way to get out of this predicament. I was only a level three player and wasn't yet a billionaire so I couldn't match up to Mr. Wade yet. If it had been only Dominic then he wouldn't have been a problem. But now the entire Wade family was involved and I didn't know how to handle it."I think we should do something they least expect us to do," Stephen finally suggested. He was very smart and I give him credit for that despite knowing that he has a crush on my girlfriend. I won't let that affect my judgment in any way."Something like what?" I asked Stephen and waited for his answer.Stephen stood up and folded his hands as he walked from his position casually. I'd watched several mystery movies so I knew that detectives walked this way in them when they were analyzing something or coming out with theories.Paulina st
After we were done with the plan Stephen stayed behind to have lunch with us. We watched some TV and discussed several topics before he finally took his leave around 5:00pm. He looked very tired as he walked out of the mansion. "He's an introvert," Paulina said. "Socializing drains him out more than anything." "No wonder he needs rest every moment," I replied to her. "Yeah," Paulina nodded. She then asked me, "What plans do you have concerning school?" "I'm glad you asked," I replied with a smile. "I want to overthrow Dominic as the star of the school." "Huh?" Paulina raised her eyebrows. "This is part of your revenge against Dominic?" "Yes," I replied. "I want to make him lose face in all aspects of life. And it's gonna start in school." "Tell me more," Paulina was very interested in the topic. "There's
I pushed the door abruptly and ended up destroying it with my immense strength. I then ran very quickly and appeared in the shopping mall. I was very fast that I was literally moving like the wind. When I got into the shopping mall I saw several people lying sprawled on the ground. They all faced down and didn't dare look up as they waved their hands in fear. Five armed robbers were aiming at them with AK-47s while others were stealing money and other valuable things from the people and shopping mall. No one was spared. "This isn't right!" a man suddenly yelled. He wasn't even lying down like the others and had a very bold expression. When I looked at his height I knew that it was the major factor of his boldness. He was very tall and easily reached 6'6 inches. "And who are you to tell us this?" one of the armed robbers asked as he aimed his gun at the man. "Get the f*ck down there or find the hard way
The next day was Saturday and I didn't have classes. So I was very free to do anything I want without going to school. Well, I wanted to stay at home and rest all day because the past weeks had been hellish for me. I didn't even get a single time to rest with the tasks and missions coming up every now and then. As I lay in bed lazing out I couldn't help but stare at Paulina who was still asleep. She was dressed in a pink nightgown and looked very cute in it. I almost reached out to kiss her but stopped myself from doing that. I didn't want to disturb her peaceful sleep. At that moment I saw a notification screen and almost threw a punch at the incorporeal Enigmatic System. [DAILY TASK: WAKE UP PAULINA WITH A KISS AND DO ONE HUNDRED PUSHUPS IMMEDIATELY AFTER THAT] [REWARDS: $100,000,000] [PUNISHMENT: LOSE 50% OF YOUR MERIT AND STAMINA FOR 24 HOURS]
That day there was no mission issued out to me by the Enigmatic System and I was so happy about it. I finally got the rest I was waiting for without having to worry about punishments for not completing missions. After taking our bath, we had our breakfast and sat down to watch TV. It was so romantic that I couldn't help but feel the moment. It was just me and Paulina alone in the big mansion and it felt so good. "Don't you wanna ask me where I lived before you took me into your house?" Paulina asked me as she drew circles on my chest. "Maybe it's because it never occurred to me to ask you about where you came from," I said to her. "That's because the only thing that matters is you." Paulina blushed and slapped me playfully, "You have to stop this way of speaking or I'd have to kick you one day." "Ah," I smiled warmly. "But it's romantic, isn't it?"
That evening I was dressed in a black Italian suit which made me look very dignified and aloof. I'd always wanted this moment to look like Darwin and here was my chance to go at it! My black glittering leather shoes made my outfit more gallant and beautiful that I couldn't help but fall in love with my reflection on the mirror. "Are you not done yet?" I asked Paulina who was still lying in bed doing nothing. "You've been lying down there for a long period of time now." I couldn't help but feel that she didn't want to go on a date with me again. Maybe it was because of my outfit or something else and I was beginning to feel bad about it. [WHY DO YOU HAVE SUCH A LOW SELF ESTEEM?] The notification screen came up and this time I wasn't embarrassed with the Enigmatic System anymore. I couldn't help but nod and reply, "Because I'm not good enough." I hoped that the Eni
A couple of minutes passed and I was still thinking of the man sitting several meters away from me. I was really cautious about people knowing that I was a player. This was a big secret that could kill me once people with bad intentions knew. So I had tried to keep it a secret. Apart from Paulina and Stephen, no one with bad intentions had known that I was a player. But then I had used my Download skill in front of Darwin and I knew he was now aware that I was a player. The man over there was also aware and I was afraid he would have evil intentions like Darwin. I couldn't help but swallow hard as several questions entered my head.What if the ex soldier reported to the army that I was someone special with special powers? What if he reported to the government? What if the government or army, after knowing my secret, decides to come after me? What would I do in such
