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
"I want to work as a police officer because I want to have skills that no one else has. Besides, I can save myself from the robbers who are always targeting my balance," Dylan said confidently. System: Every job has one ability that no other job has. If you want to choose the job of a policeman, then you must purchase the following abilities. [Name: Dylan Brodie][Level: II][Current abilities: Flying, Scanning, Multiplication, Intelligence, Swimming][Recommended abilities: Advance Scanning, Shooting, Fighting]"Are those the only 3 abilities I can have in the future?"System: No. You can purchase other abilities according to your job. The system will make suggestions if you need them. These are just the basic abilities that a policeman must have."Then, how much does each ability cost?"System: Each ability is worth $500,000. The price of the ability will increase according to the power. Remember, these are only basic abilities and you still need to purchase more abilities. The mo
Dylan arrived at the empty field referred to by the system. There was no one there. But there are several target shooting boards. System: You can use a virtual gun that you can only use once for this exercise. In future, you need to buy a real gun. "Yes, I want to start now." Dylan took off the glasses he was wearing. In his hand was a virtual gun provided by the system to test his ability. System: The gun might look real, but it would be very different from a real gun that had a certain weight. "I will buy a real gun after this exercise."The system gave Dylan a demonstration of using the gun. Although he had used it once in the warehouse yesterday, it still needed proper guidance."I understand the instruction you gave. Now, can I start shooting?"System: Target confirmed. To succeed in the assessment, you must be able to fire 5 bullets at the yellow circle. If you fail to do so, then you will be directed to choose another job.Dylan focused his mind. This was very important. S
The long-awaited day had arrived. 4 days after Dylan had been in the parallel world, today was the official determination for Dylan that he was accepted into society. Dylan was not the only person who would be taking the assessment today, but there were 15 other people as well. And only those 15 people are wearing normal clothes while the others are wearing uniforms that show their jobs. Dylan underwent a strict screening before entering the meeting hall. Everything had to be done safely and successfully because in Level II, there were many people who were responsible for maintaining the harmony of the parallel worlds. Dylan walked confidently with a bag that he carried in his right hand. It contained a gun and some bullets that would be used for the assessment. This building was as big as a football stadium. So, the assessment will be done here and witnessed by everyone. So that no cheating could be done. Dylan adjusted his glasses. "My name is Dylan Brodie, I want a job as a po
Dylan's clothes were replaced with the special clothes he used for assessment. He finally entered the assessment arena alone. A total of 8 candidates had passed and 2 of them chose police jobs. That means, in addition to passing all four assessments, Dylan must compete again with 2 other candidates. The first assessment Dylan would go through as an athlete. Suddenly in the middle of the arena, the floor opened into two large sections where there was water underneath. Swimming athlete, this is what Dylan will be tested on. "Rain, activate the swimming ability." Dylan got ready at the edge of the large pool. On the count of five he jumped in and started swimming. But of course the test was not that easy. Not only does he swim, but he also needs to avoid the shark robot that staff put into the pool. This is actually intended to make athletes stronger to face all fields of competition. But Dylan never expected that there would be sharks chasing him. Dylan increased his swimming spee
System: The drink contained sleeping pills. "Shit! Why didn't you tell me and do a scan?" Dylan held his head which was starting to feel dizzy from the effects of the sleeping pills. System: You don't give orders to the system. The system will do the scan if you give the order. "What the hell! Yesterday you even acted without my orders and almost got me into trouble." Dylan began to doubt the system's favor towards him. Dylan felt that the system inside him was starting to go against its will. The guard brought Dylan to the center of the arena. This time the system's prediction was correct. There were several shooting target boards placed close together with a total of 5 boards. "Candidate 15, you must shoot 5 bullets each on each target board with a perfect score. Every time you successfully shoot 5 bullets, the target board will change to the next board until you complete the assessment." The host gave Dylan some direction. Dylan's ability to shoot would be very helpful. But
Dylan finally got some time to rest for a while. He also got a special room to rest in before dinner time. Dylan and the 6 candidates who passed the assessment will be introduced to everyone at the dinner. They would receive official badges for their new jobs.The assessment was quite draining for Dylan. That's why he received a nutritional injection that he really didn't want to take to speed up his energy to 100%."Rain, are you following the orders of someone other than me?" This question had been on Dylan's mind ever since Rain was able to control Dylan's body without his command.System: I'm in charge of protecting you as long as you carry out your mission. I also do things on your orders. But when it's urgent, I can decide things on my own."In the future, I want you to always communicate everything you are going to do. Do you understand?"System: Understood the order.However, Dylan didn't want to be completely controlled by the system because this was his body, his own. And th
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
