“Everyone!!” Miguel shouted as they all rushed to where the podium was. Lucky enough, it didn’t move up that fast. Helping his brother as he took his hand. All of them are inside the circle. ‘Clack’ The watch that Miguel got from Leo slip his pocket. Creating such sound. “What the…” “Hey! That’s my watch!” Leo shouted in frustration. He was about to jump down to pick it up when Clark was first to jump and pick the wrist watch on the ground. “Clark what are you doing?!” Jumping to enter the circle once again, Clark was able to reach the floor before the podium rises up out of his reach. ‘I have faith in my calculation…’ “You idiot” Lea whispered shaking his head in disbelief. “Here” “Hey, I thought that was mine already?” Miguel utter with frown on his face as he saw how Clark hand it back to Leo. “It’s a mortgage! I was planning to get this back from you in exchange of something you could use. Hah… how could you be so careless??” Looking at the eldest of them all, Migue
Clark’s POV To see someone you love die and not have any power to save them, that is something I loathed my whole life. I am useless. I am great at some things yet, the very thing I needed to do the most… I have failed to do so. My grandfather died and it was my fault for not being able to gather enough money for him. That is why I hate wealthy people. They are selfish, greedy, and vile. It is not that I hate money, I just feel like it was the source of all evil things… but… All my life, it was the first time I was really grateful for something like that. With all my heart… “Grandpa…” I am glad that I have money. I am glad that… I was able to save you… “I am really glad…” Smiling as I hold my tears, I am no longer a kid yet… I still feel like one. But still, I am not ashamed. I am not… . . . I just learned from them that many things happened ever since the trial started. It is not just that my grandfather had a successful operation and that some weird people are lurkin
“There is no heir yet but that doesn’t mean there won’t be!” Shouting as she talks to herself, Margarett was glad that no one from her siblings’ children would attain the title of the heir. If that so happens then it would be bad. Not just bad but very bad. A knock was then heard from the door. Catching her attention, Margarett still have that frown on her face. “Mother, it is me, Miguel. You don’t have to open the door… I will leave as soon as I say some things. Mother… please forgive me for lacking in many ways” Bowing his head, he was well aware that even if he do that, his mother won’t see it since the door was closed. But even so, after coming back from the trial, he had some thoughts on his mind. “I know you won’t be happy to hear this since you want me to strive to be the heir of Grandfather’s wealth. But mother… as of what I am now, I stand no chance at all. If it is all right with you… can I just support my brother? He… he deserves such title. He is a wonderful person. Ju
“Achoo!” Wiping his nose, Clark was surprised to suddenly got chills on his spine. Sitting on his bed, he was just exploring the limits of the system that he got. ‘I will not deny the fact that this system is much more advanced than what I have before. This is so insane. Why is something like this not used before??’ Thinking about it clearly, he feels like his system before was just a baby compared to what he has now. So many things that are available at the moment yet in his previous system, none of those are already available as early as this. ‘But… if this system isn’t owned by anyone before… not even Ashton… it would not be wrong to say that this system is waiting for me. Hah, now me thinking big. Who am I for it to wait for my arrival?’ Letting out a deep sigh, up till the very moment he is still unaware of why him of all. Why the system seems to be waiting for his arrival? And how on earth did none get to manage such a system as this? ‘Is there any other person having a sys
“Oh, Clark, you visit me again. Do you have no work?” With his gentle smile, Clark can’t help but feel the warmth. As if even though the place was a hospital, he feel like it was a home. ‘I can’t tell him that I don’t have work… can I?’ “I will always have time for you, Grandpa” Chuckling, Holmet was eating the watermelon that Shanx cut for him. After his surgery’s success, both Shanx and Oren watch over Grandpa Holmet. For there seem to be some small fries that are trying to spy around his room. But even if they are no small fry, Clark can say that West 11 Gang can handle much more than that. “Then I am glad. We still have a lot of talks to do” Gulping, it was made aware to Clark how he needs to explain everything that happened. For last time, they did not talk far about it. “Ah, yes, grandpa” Looking at Shanx, he just slightly gestures his head. He was sure that he would know what it was. Since he gave a short notice about what happened. “You go pay them a visit. I will sta
Opening his eyes, Clark felt the heavy atmosphere in the vicinity. ‘This place…’ There is no doubt, this whole place is indeed a dungeon. ‘But why would they cover up this incident and not tell that this is a dungeon appearing?’ That is when something hit his thoughts. ‘Maybe it was the first appearance…’ Something new isn’t always welcomed with open arms. Criticism and wary are always present whenever people talk about something new. For not all new things are free of harm. And most of it brings danger. ‘Just like this dungeon that killed… numbers of people…’ Movements were heard and the moment he look at it, it was that man from back then. The very first person to enter the dungeon. ‘How wide did this dungeon spread? How many people did this dungeon take from the outside?’ “Hey! You, are you alright?” The man looking at him offer his hands as he saw Clark sitting on the ground. But how ironic, Clark thought, ‘He is injured… I mean his leg is injured yet…’ “Thank you…” “Y
“You seem to be so good at this, Geoff” Hearing the words that Andrel said makes Clark smile as he was praised. Praised the way he was back then. The nostalgic thought of his comrades fighting with monsters side to side, that wasn’t a pretty situation yet the memories he had there was plenty good. “Thanks-“ But just like how reality would hit you, Clark’s eyes widened as he saw the eyes of the monsters illuminating in the dark. The fiery gold orbs with its sides pointed on one corner, Clark can tell what kind of creature that is. After all, how can he forget it if it was the very same species of the monster that took Shanx’s life away? “Cocorola…” Cocorola, a coconut like creatures with tail of lizard and a fang of bird show up. But their hands is like those of dogs. Spider like physics, they are able to crawl on the ceiling and walls. As if they are defying gravity. “Andrel! Get down!!” Shouting as he pull out the darts hiding on his clothes, in an instant, his hands were fill
“Look! This weird thing is getting smaller!” Pointing at the portal, the gate to the dungeon, every soldier and people present can see how that thing started to shrink right before their eyes. “Everyone! Get back!” It was a miracle that there were no casualties taken. That only heavy injuries was taken in their side. Or so they thought there wasn’t. “Hey, did anybody see my daughter? She was this short and she is wearing a red dress. And…. And… um black shoes with long white socks? Please? Officer, help me…. My daughter-“ “Sorry ma’am but you can’t pass through this point. It is dangerous” “But sir, my daughter” “We will find her for you ma’am, please rest assured” “You will?” Nodding his head, there is still worry in the lady’s face as she can’t help but to. Everyone’s attention was on the portal. It appeared out of nowhere and they are lucky to get a report about the situation. If not for the patrol that saw some weird light up there, the squad wouldn’t be able to minimize
