It took a few seconds for the system to process Dylan's request as his body had sank deep enough. Dylan also kept holding his breath to keep himself awake. Until the electric shock was felt again, it meant that the transfer of swimming ability was complete. But on the other side, the system displayed Dylan's energy status which continued to decrease. So Dylan needed to get out of the water as quickly as possible since Dylan had only purchased the ability to swim, not breathe underwater. Dylan tried to reach the surface. But when he almost raised his head above the water, a thug entered the water and pulled Dylan down. As a result, Dylan was dragged back into the ocean. The thug tried to take something that Dylan wearing, the glasses, the system device that Dylan just bought and containing Dylan's entire balance. Of course, Dylan fought back so that the thug couldn't take his glasses. System: Warning of energy limit. It's definitely not the right time, the system's energy is 35%.
But even though the key from Dylan's system device was unlocked, every transaction had to go through Dylan's confirmation. And that confirmation could only be done by scanning Dylan's retina. The three thugs tried to force open Dylan's eyes so their transactions would proceed as planned. But they were unsuccessful. "What happened to him?" asked the white mask. "He's losing energy, you idiot!" snapped the blue mask. Those from level IV didn't all have quick and precise understanding. "Let's take him to the nearest energy station," said the green mask. "What if he escapes after getting his energy back? Do you want us to lose a perfect target like this?" The green mask grabbed the white mask collar. "Just do what I tell you to do! You're not only stupid, you have a lot of questions." "He's right. If this man doesn't wake up, then we can't use this system device. And all our efforts up to this point are in vain." Finally, they carried Dylan's body while looking for a nearby statio
Dylan sped up his movements and pulled Gabriel's hand to hide. "What are you doing!" Gabriel withdrew his hand and pointed the gun at Dylan. "Why are you here?" "That's not important. What's important is that we hide from them." "Who are you talking about?" Dylan ruffled his hair. "I don't know. But they're from level IV and they want these glasses." Dylan showed his glasses. "Wait, so they're chasing you?" "Yes, and I'm saving you from them," Dylan replied. "It's you they're chasing, not me. So why the hell I need to hide with you? Go hide yourself!" Gabriel was about to come out of the place but Dylan pulled her back. "Don't you think if they see you then you'll be their target too?" "What am I afraid of? I'm from level IV, same as them." "So you're from level IV?" asked Dylan to confirm. Dylan also closed one eye just in case Gabriel drained his energy through her eyes. "You're completely absent minded," Gabriel grumbled in anger. Even though Dylan already saw
"Aish, this fucking wall!" Dylan turned around and saw the three thugs getting closer. "Why on earth did you bring me to this road? What should we do now?" "You think I knew this road was a dead end? If I know, then I never came here either!" Gabriel raised both hands up and turned around. "Alright, we give up." "Hey! I didn't follow you to give myself up," Dylan whispered. "I know. Can you just act for a minute? Isn't level II filled with talented people?" Gabriel sarcastically said. Dylan followed Gabriel's instructions. "Well, we give up." "Wait, aren't you the girl with the rare eyes?" asked the green mask. Gabriel looked at Dylan who now looked confused. "No, I'm just an ordinary person." "What do you mean rare eyes? Your eyes look normal like everyone else's," said Dylan. "Ah, I believe she's the one being talked about at level IV. She has very rare purple-colored eyes. People say that she has power from her eyes," explained the blue mask. Dylan observed Gabriel's e
Dylan was shocked that Gabriel shot. Nevertheless, he kept running away from the thugs. The shot didn't hit anyone either as it was just a warning shot. "Stop or we'll kill you!" one of the thugs shouted. Shortly after, a knife flew between Dylan and Gabriel. Luckily they were able to dodge well so the knife didn't hurt anyone. Dylan took the knife as a weapon of defense. System: The remaining energy is 40%. "Shit!" "What's wrong?" Gabriel asked. "Rain, I want to use my flying ability." System: Command confirmed. Dylan's body began to fly, and Dylan pulled Gabriel along with him. The thieves looked shocked and pulled out something as big as a fist and it could fly. "What is that?" "Oh my, it's a bomb!" "A bomb? A flying bomb?" "What era did you live in to not realize that bombs were like this?" Dylan increased his speed further. If it truly a bomb, then he really would be finished. Although the shape was different, Dylan was sure the power of the bomb s
Dylan shot the gun to the roof of the building. It's a real warning because he's not playing around. It sent Gabriel into shock."Do you think I didn't take my words seriously?""Hey, that's the last bullet I have!" Gabriel snapped."Fuck the bullet. Where did you get this gun? Did you come from level II before and your job is a cop?""No, I'm not. I'm not a cop.""Then quickly tell me where this gun got from?" Dylan actually got upset. He wanted to approach Gabriel because he wanted to find out a lot of information about this parallel world. But he didn't have a lot of time to deal with her attitude."Seriously, I'm not a cop and that gun I got from someone because I saved him. Just a stranger that I didn't know his name."Dylan smiled sarcastically. "Really, just a stranger?""Yeah, that's right." Gabriel looked intently into Dylan's eyes.Dylan immediately turned his gaze away. He couldn't stare into those eyes for too long or his little remaining energy would be drained by Gabriel
Right before the device exploded, Dylan managed to throw it out of the warehouse. Even so, the effect of the explosion sent Dylan and Gabriel bouncing back far enough. Luckily they were fine, no injuries at all."You shouldn't have taken that thing so easily!" snapped Gabriel."It looked like a system device, so how could I suspect it was a bomb?" Dylan looked around, some of the sheet covering the machine was ripped away. The explosive effect of the bomb was not too big because the device was small."Looks like you need to learn to distinguish between bombs and system devices if you want to live longer.""You're so arrogant."System: Warning.[Name: Dylan Brodie][Energy: 31%]Right after the warning from the system appeared, Dylan's body felt weak and he fell. That made Gabriel panic."Hey, what's wrong with you, are you injured?""My energy is about to run out. I need to recharge it. Can you take me to a energy station?" Dylan begged."I want to help you. But how am I going to get
Dylan felt relieved because the person who called him was Gabriel. She wasn't dead like Dylan thought. But Dylan saw several pieces of clothes that were thrown out when he reached the front of the warehouse. "The three thieves entered while I was out. Then suddenly this warehouse just exploded," Gabriel explained. "Didn't they leave earlier?" "Who knows if they'll come back." Gabriel used her ability to fly. "Don't be suspicious of me. I had nothing to do with this if that's what you want to hear." She sped away leaving Dylan who was still confused in front of the warehouse. Dylan slowly left the warehouse as well. He didn't want to be found by the police because of this incident. But whoever did this explosion, that person definitely knew that this warehouse was entered by someone else and maybe it was a warning. The street Dylan walked on was starting to get crowded. The clock on his system showed 6 a.m. It turned out that Dylan had spent the whole night doing many things. But
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
