"Sorry, I don't really want to lie to you, but I can't say it," he said casually. His tone was not nervous at all, as if he did not want to hide any secrets from the girl who had always been good to him. On the other hand, his feelings were saying 'yes', but on the other hand, his feelings were saying 'no'.Xenovia knew very well how Kelvin was. She had known him for a long time, and she also didn't want to pressure Kelvin with questions that told him to reveal his secrets. So, she chose to respond to her friend's answer by saying, "It's okay, Kelvin. I understand. You don't have to tell me now.""If the time comes later ...." Kelvin paused his sentence, took a slow breath and exhaled again, then he continued by saying, "I will tell you, Xenovia.""Alright." Xenovia flashed a genuine smile. Her gaze looked at Kelvin with the smile that used to always make Kelvin feel calm when he was bullied by his other friends."Thank you, Xenovia," Kelvin said. "That's very kind of you, even though
At school, Kelvin and Xenovia were seen walking down the stairs together. Because Xenovia was still traumatized by last night's incident at her house, she chose to accept Kelvin's offer to invite her to stop by his house.The school was already quite quiet, because most of the other students had gone home. Kelvin walked in front, while Xenovia followed behind. Their footsteps brought them to the motorcycle parking lot that Kelvin usually used to park his motorcycle.In this motorcycle parking lot that was 25 meters long and 10 meters wide, only a few teachers' motorcycles and Kelvin's motorcycle remained.Kelvin stopped beside his motorcycle, then turned to Xenovia who was standing behind him, then he said, "You don't have a motorcycle?"Xenovia replied, "Actually, I have one, but I can't ride a motorcycle yet. I usually go to and from school with my brother, but if we're at peace. If I'm not reconciled with my brother, I usually take a taxi.""Alright, then you can ride with me." Ke
"Going home now?" asked Kelvin. He thought that Xenovia must have been told to go home by her mother. "Yes," Xenovia replied. "I also haven't changed my clothes yet. My mom said, 'my brother has been put in a mental hospital, so I'm not afraid to go home anymore.""Alright, I'll take you." Kelvin stood up, then he turned to Xenovia who had also stood up and prepared."Let's go!" said Kelvin to which Xenovia nodded in return, then he immediately moved out of the house followed by the girl.After he and the girl went out, Kelvin locked the door of his house, then moved to where his motorcycle was. Kelvin inserted his motorcycle key into a hole on the motorcycle, turned it, and then turned the motorcycle around. After that, he signaled Xenovia to get on, and she immediately nodded, then rode behind him.Once ready, Kelvin turned his head and asked, "Where is your home?"In Terratory City," Xenovia replied, then Kelvin faced forward, pulled the throttle handle, and the motorcycle acceler
[Master, the system will activate the evasion skill to slow down time. In a moment, that man will shoot Master with the gun in his pants pocket.][Evasion Skill: Slow down time, activate!]After the system said so, Kelvin suddenly felt that the movement of the mouth of the villain boss who was speaking became extremely slow ... no! Not only did the villain boss slow down, but indeed everything became extremely slow, the entire time in this world became noticeably slow. But in reality, it was Kelvin's body that became faster and faster.Kelvin felt that the villain boss seemed to be saying, "Nonsense!" But his mouth movements were very slow. Although it was only two words, but it felt like it took the villain boss twenty seconds to say those two words.Kelvin knew that this was an evasion skill to slow down time, just like when he dodged Jengki's sniper bullets. He saw the villain boss reaching into his pocket while saying a few words very slowly ... very slowly, as if Kelvin could no
Kelvin stepped up to them. His right hand reached into his pocket, took out $800, and handed it to the little girl's mother. "I have a little some money for you. Please accept it.""No need. You already saved my child." Lily's mother felt shy. "I'm already very, very grateful that my child survived.""Just accept it. As I said before, I will help people who need help. Not just rescue lives, but also help other people's needs. Although this money is not much, I hope it can be your capital to open a new business." Kelvin tried to persuade Lily's mother to accept the money from him. He behaved like this because he learned from Xenovia. In the past, before he got the system, Xenovia had always helped him economically, and this was what made Zico hate him so much. "So, accept it," Kelvin said once again. "Alright, thank you very much." Lily's mother finally accepted the money. "You're very kind, Young Sters. Your heart is really very noble." "There's no need to be shy. When we are at th
Kelvin immediately turned his body towards the back, and sure enough, behind him, about 20 meters away, was a man dressed all in black, wearing a black t-shirt with a black cloak as a combination, wearing black pants, and what made it difficult for Kelvin to recognize him, the man was wearing a mask that covered a third of his face.The man pointed a gun at Kelvin, making Kelvin's heart beat fast considering that the system level of the man who owned the Dark System was very far in comparison to his level. However, hearing the next system sound made Kelvin feel relieved.[Evasion Skill: Slow down time, activate!]As usual, after the evasion skill was activated, time became extremely slow for Kelvin. He felt as if the mountain breeze blowing against his body became ten times slower. But he also thought, "Does that Dark System Master also have an evasion skill like me?"[He has it, but he needs time to activate this skill. Hurry up and rush to the Ndiwek Tribe, before his time-slowing s
"Where is this?"Kelvin looked to his right and left, but he found no one here, the hut was deserted. Even though he was lying on the straw, Kelvin didn't feel any itching on his body. The straw that was neatly arranged and formed like a soft bed was clean and not itchy. It looked like the owner of this hut used the well-washed straw as a mattress for sleeping.Kelvin intended to get out of bed and go to see what was going on outside the hut, but before his right foot touched the ground, someone opened the door of the hut.He saw from the open door, a tall and burly man with black skin and long hair, making Kelvin think of a character in an old movie."Are you awake, son?" the man asked. His right hand carried a plate-like wooden container filled with food, while his left hand carried a bamboo cup filled with drink. "Just rest first, it looks like your condition hasn't fully improved."The man's tone sounded very friendly to Kelvin's sense of hearing. This made the teenage boy immedi
"Don't hurt them!" Kelvin immediately held the hand of Jaka who was preparing to shoot the puter birds."Why?" Jaka immediately turned to Kelvin while frowning."My mom says the puter birds is a bird of fortune," Kelvin replied, then he added his opinion. "Instead of killing it, we should keep it. As a sign in the morning if the puter chirps, it's a good day to go to work.""Then how can I catch it if I don't shoot it?" asked Jaka. So far, all the people of the Ndiwek Tribe have never kept birds, because birds are animals that are difficult to catch without archery. "Can you catch the bird without shooting it?""I don't know if I can do it or not?" Kelvin had heard his mother tell him how his father used to catch puter birds, but he had never tried to use that method to catch the bird before, as he had never seen a puter birds in the town where he lived. "But I'll give it a try!""All right," said Jaka. "Then you can try it.""Okay." Kelvin nodded, then he joined his right hand and lef
