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
