The man nodded before saying, "I already know the name of your system and your level. What I don't know are your corresponding skills."I couldn't help but become surprised as I wondered how he knew the name of my system and my corresponding level. Well, I knew that people like Stephen and Darwin were capable of that. It was because of their player skills. So I felt that maybe it was because of the man's player skills and that's why he was able to tell."You're the Enigmatic player," he told me. "And you're at level three currently."I would have gotten over it when I realized that he had used 'the' to describe me. I wasn't the only Enigmatic player because Paulina was a player too. Was it that his system didn't show him that she was a player too?"Is that your player skill?" I couldn't help but ask."No," the man said. "When given a quest to eliminate someone, the Mercenary System gives me the major details about them. That way I would be able to know what I'm doing. That's the attri
The man immediately aimed the gun at me and this time I could see that he had a very deep intent to kill me. This time he didn't say anything as his finger moved towards the trigger. One pull and I was going to be blown into bits by the green ball from the gun. It was at this moment I remembered the chance to use the Enigmatic System's help. I would have used it right now but I had already used it to make Paulina a player just like me. I had used up that chance and there was no way I was going to get it back.I could only remain where I was without being able to even resist despite being the same level as he was. I was very useless right now and I hadn't even felt this way even when fighting Darwin who was several levels higher than me. I was so helpless right now that I felt I wasn't even a player.But when he was about to pull the trigger Paulina came out of nowhere and smashed his head with a chair. He immediately fell to the ground groaning in pain as he held his head which began
I grit my teeth at that moment and muttered, "Activate Rush Absorption."I couldn't waste any more time at that moment. I needed to get to Paulina and save her at this very moment. I needed to get away from Darwin and the ex soldier who had decided to attack me at the same place and the same day. Talk about being really unlucky despite having the Luck skill. It was so hopeless that I couldn't believe that I had the Luck skill.[RUSH ABSORPTION ACTIVATED][DAMAGE: 50%][RUSH ABSORPTION: 50%]I immediately felt the usual rush of energy through me and immediately pushed the concrete slabs off my body before standing up. I couldn't s
We successfully drove back to my mansion and I couldn't help but finally heave a sigh of relief after getting to safety. As I got out of the car I discovered that my legs were all wobbly and I couldn't even stand properly. I went to help Paulina anyway and took her to the house."I've never encountered something this dangerous in my entire life," Paulina said as she winced in pain. "Even when the gunmen attacked back then it wasn't as dangerous as this."I couldn't help but agree with her on this. I would have lost my life if not for Paulina and the man who had suddenly taken the Initiative to buy us time to escape. I couldn't understand his motive but I was still thankful. Without him I and Paulina would have been killed by Darwin."Even for me w
After a few minutes Stephen arrived at my mansion and his expression was very sullen as if he had come out of a fight with someone. I didn't bother with him and watched as he sat down on the same sofa he had sat down on before. He crossed his legs casually before greeting me and Paulina."You don't allow me to rest for one day," Stephen said immediately."It's not my fault," I immediately protested. "It isn't my fault that I encounter unfortunate events on a daily basis.""Yeah," Stephen said. "And you end up implicating me."I was about to say something when Paulina said, "Guys? We have an important matter at hand."I didn't say
As I drove my car across the highway I couldn't help but think about Paulina's quest. Stephen had already given us the location and was also accompanying us there. I was filled with so much worry for my girlfriend that I couldn't help but turn my head to look at her every five seconds."Why are you looking at me like that?" she asked me."I'm just worried, you know," I told her. "This is your very first quest and I don't know how you're gonna handle it."Paulina couldn't help but smile as she stared right into my eyes, "Don't worry about me, Jason. I'll be fine.""No, you won't," I said firmly. "Your quest is to provoke a gang and get them to follow you into a desolate building. It's very
I remained in my car and saw the gang members turned really angry. I then saw Paulina turn around and run towards a building which had not yet been completed."Stop right there!" one of the gang members yelled as they drew out something from within their pants. I instantly became alarmed because I knew what they had just drawn out of their pants."Are you sure we shouldn't rush to help Paulina right now?" I couldn't help but stare at Stephen as I stared back at him. It was very surprising that I was asking for his opinion on matters right now considering how often we bickered."She said we should trust her and so we should," Stephen said casually. "Just trust her.""But that doesn't mean
As I drove Paulina and Stephen across the highway I couldn't help but become filled with joy. Paulina had finally leveled up from level zero and was now officially a real player just like me. It was something which called for celebration.[WHO TOLD YOU THAT YOU'RE AN OFFICIAL PLAYER. HECK, YOU'RE JUST LEVEL 3]"It seems someone has forgotten his little secret and grown wings," I muttered with a warm smile as if it could see my face. I felt really good blackmailing the Enigmatic System. It actually took me to a whole different level."What secret do you have?" Stephen suddenly asked me from the backseat. "You've been talking about this for a long time now and I'm beginning to wonder whose secret you're holding."Latest Chapter
