Dylan made it to the energy station when he had 31% energy left. A little late and Dylan might faint. Luckily the energy station isn't far from where Dylan chased Gabriel. Did she aim at Dylan on purpose? Dylan didn't know. System: Energy charging begins. A hologram screen appeared in front of Dylan. [Status: In charging] [Estimated time: 2 hours] 2 hours was quite a long time for Dylan to be in a capsule standing like this. Moreover, what was called an energy station is a transparent tube made of glass. So people passing by could see Dylan. Dylan chose to close his eyes. He thought about the man who chased him earlier. Dylan remembered that he had no enemies in this parallel world because he hadn't met many people, except Alan and Haily. The mysterious man was clearly targeting Dylan's life because he used a gun to attack Dylan. Unfortunately, before Dylan could scan, the man was already dead. Meanwhile, the system in Dylan's mind cannot scan dead bodies because it has a limi
Dylan couldn't hide his shocked face as the man's guess was correct. This further aroused Dylan's curiosity. "What more do you know about me?" asked Dylan. "You're better than you think," the man replied. Again, an ambiguous sentence spoken by the man. "If you don't understand what I'm saying, then I'll explain." The man brought up a holographic screen in the center of the table. Dylan automatically looked around for fear that someone might hear their conversation. But what Dylan found was that the waitresses stayed frozen like statues with blank stares. "What happened to them?" "It's called freezing. Only some people can have the ability to freeze a person's system. Even if it only lasts a few minutes, it's an extraordinary ability." "Then what are you going to show me with that screen?" The man selected a menu called history. Instantly, several photos of Dylan from baby to adult appeared. This amazing thing made Dylan unable to stop suspecting the man. All of this felt sca
All night Dylan had been thinking hard between going to the Electric Club and accomplishing Alan's challenge, or using the money he had to buy new abilities. Dylan knew that $11 million was a lot of money. But each ability had its own price. If it was just an ordinary ability that he bought, then $25,000 would be enough. But Dylan wanted an ability that not everyone had that cost about 1 million dollars. Meanwhile, there were still 149 days left before Dylan's mission ended. "Rain, can you give me some advice?" System: You have the full right to choose with consequences for each choice. "I want you to display every consequence." System: Analysis begins. [Remaining Balance: $11,237,700] [Last Transaction: $300 [food purchased]] [Option 1: Show $10 million to the enemy] [Option 2: Use balance to buy abilities and survive] [Consequence 1: Gain new enemies, Lose all balance] [Consequence 2: Get the desired job, complete the mission on time] In one look, Dylan already knew that
Dylan still shocked that the bill for the system device he bought was 1 million dollars! Dylan thought it was only thousands, but it turned out to be far beyond his expectations. Now Dylan's balance was running dangerously low. Dylan was sure Alan would do something with the 10 million dollars and wouldn't let Dylan have it for long. Dylan saw the Electric Club which would be the second meeting place with Alan and Haily in this parallel world. There were two large robots guarding the front of the club with two guns. Gosh, Dylan couldn't even tell if this was a club or a prison that it had to be guarded so tightly. As Dylan entered, the guard confronted him. "Show me your balance." "Is that necessary?" asked Dylan. "People who can enter here must have a balance of at least $1 million dollars." "Yes, go ahead and check it," Dylan challenged. The two robots scanned Dylan and his balance was displayed on a holographic screen. "You're welcome to come in." Dylan straightened his ti
"Why are you silent? Are you scared? You're so pale, I'm worried you'll faint again." Dylan was silent as he thought of all the possibilities if he accepted Alan's offer. Dylan calculated the costs and benefits because this was no longer about prestige, but about his mission as well. "What will I get if I play games with you?" asked Dylan. It was a good move to ask this because Dylan couldn't take a risk for nothing. He had come all the way to this world for nothing. "Of course you'll get the money I have, all of it." Alan displayed the hologram screen again. "But if you lose, all your balance will be mine. How's that?" The offer was very interesting, but Dylan couldn't believe it yet because he was Alan. Alan could be lying, right? "Why should I trust you?" Dylan had a serious look on his face. "Why should I trust someone who raised the war flag at the first meeting?" Alan laughed. "I didn't expect that you'd bring that up again." Alan handed Dylan a glass of alcohol. "How abou
Dylan's breathing was ragged. His body returned to normal function because he was out of the game. Every time a player was killed, the game was temporarily stopped. Unfortunately Dylan lost 1 life in vain just because he wasn't given the chance to run. During the countdown to start the game, Dylan's shoe got stuck in a hole in the ground. So he couldn't run when the game started. The hunter shot Dylan when he didn't run. The shot hurt much more than when Alan beat him. He even swore many times. "I want to report a cheat," Dylan said when the game was about to start again. Everyone was looking at Dylan. But none of them saw the situation Dylan was in when his foot got stuck. The staff pointed a white spotlight at Dylan. "Please explain what you mean by cheating." "My foot got stuck in a hole in the ground. It wasn't fair because only the ground on my side had holes while the other players' didn't. So, I want the game to be repeated from the beginning," Dylan explained. This is a
"I don't want to use your protection for now. I will strive until I reach my limit. If I can't, then I'll use that protection." System: Command saved. Just as the count ended, Dylan immediately ran forward in a zigzag way as directed by the system. Dylan couldn't see what was in front of him at all, he just followed his instincts and tried to listen to all the sounds. Because when the eyes are closed, the ears function better, that's what Dylan believed. But Alan didn't want to lose from Dylan, he also had a trick to finish this game. Although the battlefield was different, Alan had won several times and defeated other players. One shot was fired by the hunter chasing them. It made Dylan bow his head subconsciously as he wanted to avoid the shot and it helped Dylan survive the tree branch that crossed his path. Dylan's ears heard the sound of the waterfall and it worried him. Dylan can't swim. System: You're going to cross the river, so you're going to do it quickly. "I can't
Everyone in the club except Alan congratulated Dylan. It was a coincidence and a stroke of luck for Dylan because Alan never lost. As an athlete, Alan had better strategic planning than anyone else. That was the reason he was hard to beat by others. But Dylan couldn't be too happy because it turned out that the second mission wasn't finished yet. Dylan didn't know that Alan had another system device. And Dylan also had another task to take revenge on Haily. Now the most important thing is to develop a new plan so Alan and Haily can meet Dylan again. That way Dylan's chance for revenge becomes bigger. "What's wrong? Shouldn't you be happy that you beat me?" Alan quipped. "Yes, I'm glad I beat you. You seemed pretty sure you were going to win this game. But unfortunately I'm the one who won." "You're such a jerk. Just wait, the balance will come back to me shortly." Dylan became aware. What would Alan do next? "You should know that I have a large balance. So if I disappear sudde
Gabriel looked shocked. "Why did Dylan enter the portal? Aren't you the scientists?""I can't tell you why, Gabriel. So stop asking about the portal. If you're interested and want to go in too, you should prepare yourself well," Dylan replied.Dylan stood up and went into his room. He needed to think of the best way to enter the portal because after he entered, he had to decide whether to return to the parallel world or stay in the normal world."Adam and I will go find supplies for Dylan at my place in the woods in the city center. You stay in this base and please keep an eye on Dylan. If he does anything dangerous or his eyes color change, please just inject an anesthetic and put him in the lab. Do you understand Gabriel?""I understand Mrs. Kiera. You all must be careful."Adam and Kiera left the base. Now Gabriel was left with Dylan at the base.Gabriel knew there was something they were covering up, especially Gabriel was suspicious of Dylan. There were many things that felt odd,
Kiera and Gabriel are shocked when Adam and Dylan arrive in front of them. Moreover, Dylan's condition was very bad."Hurry up and get the nutritional injections!" Adam ordered. Gabriel immediately ran to the storage area and took many nutritional injections. "Here, I almost took them all."Adam took one and injected it into Dylan. Right now Dylan's body was trying to get his system running again."What's going on? Why is he in this condition, Sir?" Gabriel asked.Kiera grabbed Adam. "Didn't you protect him, huh! What were you doing in there to let your son get hurt like this!""Kiera calm down!" snapped Adam. "We're fighting the president. He was able to block mine and Dylan's abilities so we couldn't use ours. Also, Dylan's energy was low when we ran away. That's why we were exhausted and couldn't protect each other."While Adam and Kiera argued, Gabriel watched as the wounds on Dylan's body began to heal slowly. Although Gabriel already knew that Dylan could heal his own wounds, i
Since the guards were struggling to fight Adam and Dylan, the president decided to fight them directly. He had abilities that Adam and Dylan did not have.Dylan's body bounced to the left and Adam's to the right. Dylan tried to stand up again even though his whole body was in pain. He could only use basic abilities for now. The President directed an attack towards Dylan. Seeing that, Adam immediately ran towards Dylan and protected him using his protection ability."Are you okay?" asked Adam. "Yes, I'm fine. But it looks like the wound on my leg needs to be treated immediately because it's bleeding a lot."Adam looked at Dylan's leg with the gunshot wound. "Do you think we should just go and get some nutritional injections?""That would make us stay in this place too long. You might as well use your travel ability to get us to the base."Adam tried to do so, but couldn't. The travel ability he had couldn't make him and Dylan move like they should.The President walked towards them w
Dylan and Adam immediately spread out in different directions. Adam diverted the attention of some of the guards while Dylan headed towards Kiera. They had been spotted and for Dylan, no matter what, they had to get out of here safely.Everyone in Dylan's room was surprised to find Dylan running into the room while before he was still lying on the gurney. Dylan immediately pulled Kiera's hand. "Let's use the invisible ability."Fortunately, without asking, Kiera immediately did what Dylan asked. "The president already knows that Adam is disguised as his advisor. Right now Adam is looking for a way to bring Gabriel. And we need to gather in one place so Adam can get us out of here."When Dylan exited the room, the corridor was full of officers. Dylan couldn't just leave it at that. One of them had to lure the men to go in another direction and the other one helped Adam. "Go to Gabriel's room on the right corridor. Take her using the travel ability to the base." Dylan transferred $1
"I'm very happy to hear this good news, Sir," said the presidential advisor. "We have a very good opportunity to develop research for the future. We can conduct trials on subjects as well.""You're right Robin, we have a lot to gain with the opening of the portal in this country again.""Then what are you doing to prepare, Sir?""First of all, we must make sure the sea area is clear of any danger, for this you must communicate with the soldiers. Then, I want scientists to be brought there, and I actually really want Adam to be found before the opening of the portal. He and Kiera will show us where his son is. That way, we can do research on their son."Dylan clenched his hands into fists at the order from the president. But if he did anything right now, it was too reckless for him or anyone else.Dylan waited until the president left. But the presidential advisor was still there. "Get out of your place. I know you've been eavesdropping there since before."Dylan jumped in surprise. H
System: You must kill everyone who has locked you up here. You have extraordinary abilities, your balance is unlimited, you can rule the world with what you currently have.Dylan's eyes finally opened fully. He saw a room that was all white and filled with tools. Then he tried to move his hands and noticed that there were several tools and tubes attached."What happened to me? Where am I right now?" Dylan didn't remember anything about the incident at the interrogation center. The last thing he remembered was that he was still at the base after regretting Igor's death. Dylan tried to stand up but since he had been in a coma for a month, he failed to do so. But Dylan didn't give up, he removed the tools attached to his head and tried to sit up again. This time he succeeded. Now Dylan could fully see the contents of this room. "Research place?" Then he looked at his own clothes. "Am I a subject of government research? Am I captured?"The voices in Dylan's head came back. System: You
Kiera averted her eyes. "Of course I'll save Dylan because he's my son!""Thank you for that, Kiera. I'll tell the president right now. He'll be very happy because the sooner Dylan regains consciousness, the sooner he can find the system brain that Dylan was carrying.""Oh it turns out they are looking for the system brain. I won't tell them.""So you know where the system brain is?""Of course. Dylan and I did some research on it. But I won't tell them about any information related to the system brain before Dylan wakes up.""Take it easy, I will protect you. So please be patient a little more, after this we will be able to get together again. I have a plan after Dylan regains consciousness, which is that we must go to another world, the world where we left Dylan. We will enter the portal that was opened.""Dylan and I will decide later, not you."Despite Kiera's different attitude towards him, Adam still tolerated it because he did wrong to Kiera or Dylan.Adam left to meet the pres
Kiera couldn't help herself when she heard Dylan's name mentioned. It turned out that her guess was right, Dylan was with the government.Kiera was about to come forward to ask more about Dylan, but the armed guards pointed their guns at Kiera."Don't move and stay where you are. We will handcuff your hands and commandeer your systems device to prevent any fight. When we reach the research site, your systems device will be returned."Gabriel nudged Kiera's arm. "Mrs. Kiera, there is no reason for us to distrust them. We must do what they want so that we can meet Dylan."Meanwhile Kiera, who had already worked with the government, could only vent her anger by clenching her fists. "Keep your word," Kiera said."Okay. Our personnel will approach you to remove your system devices and take away your weapons if you are hiding them. After that, they will handcuff you and take you in the prepared car. Please cooperate well."Several personnel approached Kiera and Gabriel to do as the search
"Mrs. Kiera, there is no sign of Dylan here." Gabriel updated Kiera via video call. She's out of the woods.In the last 30 days, they had searched all over Akron for Dylan, but they hadn't found him. Their system devices had also been disconnected from Dylan's system. Kiera also came out of the immigration building. "There's nothing here either. Let's meet at the bridge to continue the search to the city center."The two did not know that Dylan was in the research center. They had completely lost Dylan's news for a month.Of course Kiera was very worried and had cried for Dylan many times, but she didn't want to give up looking for Dylan. She still has a hunch that Dylan is still alive. Meanwhile, Gabriel has also tried the best. She only sleeps about 3 hours a day just to look for Dylan. They both didn't know what to do without Dylan.Gabriel waved at Kiera. The bridge was deserted as it was already midnight, so no one would suspect them. "I'm here, Mrs. Kiera."Kiera approached Ga
