2023-09-27 12:58:05No one thought Dylan could stand up again. Dylan used his legs to kick Alan so that he could get up. Although he staggered and his vision blurred a little, Dylan tried to fight back.
Dylan intended to punch Alan in the stomach but he failed. As a result Alan kicks Dylan many times in the stomach with his knee.
"Just give up." Alan pushed Dylan's body until Dylan's head hit the floor very hard.
"Hey, what are you doing!" shouted Haily. She checked Dylan's pulse as well as his breathing. "You want to kill him?"
"Don't blame me. He forced himself," Alan argued.
Dylan's condition is really bad. His body is full of bruises and there is also a lot of blood coming out of his body because of the blows given by Alan.
Dylan couldn't maintain consciousness and he passed out.
Dylan felt his body become lighter like flying in the clouds. When he opened his eyes, he saw a wide area of grass.
Dylan tried to scream but no one answered. This place is exactly the meadow that had been present in Dylan's dream.
Unable to find anyone, Dylan decided to walk without direction, just straight ahead.
From midday to afternoon, Dylan was still walking without feeling tired. He was also surprised with his body.
From his current position, Dylan saw a large shady tree. A suitable place to enjoy the sunset. But while walking to the tree, there suddenly appears a large black hole in the sky.
Dylan had never seen anything like that before but he could feel that something was wrong. Everything in this place looked abnormal from the endless meadow, Dylan's tireless body, and the black hole in the sky.
Dylan tried to hide under a tree, but the black hole dragged Dylan inside it.
Dylan opens his eyes. He vaguely smelled the distinctive odor of drugs. He woke up with an overwhelming sense of confusion.
Dylan looked around the room. He's in the hospital. And Dylan no longer felt the pain he had before.
A nurse came in to check on Dylan and intended to transfer him to the regular room. But she got a shock when she saw Dylan awake.
"Sir, when did you wake up?" the nurse asked.
"Am I in the hospital? When am I here?"
"You were in this room from two weeks ago. Your body is full of wounds so you need intensive care. You also had internal bleeding that put you into a coma," the nurse explains.
Dylan looked at the calendar on the wall. The explanation given by the nurse was true because Dylan still remembered that he went to Burn Bright was 2 weeks ago.
Dylan is lucky that he didn't end up in Alan's hands because right after Haily forbids Alan from hitting Dylan again, a coach walks into the restroom. He saved Dylan and took him to the hospital.
"Actually, we are going to transfer you to a regular room. You are currently in the VVIP room."
Dylan was surprised. He remembered that there was no money left in his wallet because he used it to book the restaurant. "Who's paying for all my treatment?" asked Dylan.
"Sorry we can't tell you," said the nurse.
But Dylan still wanted to know the person who took him into the VVIP room. If that person was Alan or Haily, that would be trampling on his pride. "Is that a man with a tall woman?" asked Dylan for confirmation.
"No, Sir. That's all the information I can give you." The nurse helped Dylan off the gurney and move to a wheelchair.
Dylan headed for the regular room below the floor of this room. When entering the lift, Dylan suddenly felt his ears buzzing and it hurt a lot.
Right after that, Dylan heard an unfamiliar voice.
System: The system has been activated.
Dylan looked around to see if the nurse was talking. Then Dylan's body felt like getting an electric shock of moderate voltage.
"Do you have anything to say, Sir?"
Dylan shook his head, he looked back at the buttons on the lift.
System: You have a new chance to change your life.
"What do you mean by saying that?" Dylan asked the nurse.
"Say what, Sir? I didn't say anything," the nurse replied.
"I am sorry. Maybe I misheard it." But then Dylan heard that voice again.
System: This is a notification from the system. You have 1 million dollars in your bank account. You must use the money immediately within 3 days.

Dylan looked around again until the nurse got confused by his gesture. "Are you okay, Sir?""Yes, I'm fine."There's no way Dylan can tell the truth about the sound he heard because the nurse might think it was the effect of Dylan's head injury. So Dylan kept quiet until he got to the new room.System: No threat detected.The voice bothered Dylan so much that he unconsciously held his head. "Stop that nonsense!"Dylan realized that he was poor, but he didn't want to hallucinate having so much money in his bank account.The nurse checks Dylan's condition and helps Dylan to rest on the new bed. Then she went to call the doctor."Who are you?" asked Dylan curiously. He had even thought he was crazy from getting bumped.System: If you have questions about the money, please answer yes. If you don't have any questions, please answer no.Dylan got frustrated. Other people acted normally as if they hadn't heard the voice. Not knowing what to do, Dylan finally tried to listen to the voice."Ye

"Is this a joke? Who's behind this?" Dylan got panicked because he's afraid that the 1 million dollars will only stay in his account for a short time.Dylan looked in the mirror. His looks still pitiful. Deep down, he really wanted to use the money to change his life.System: Rain. The name of this system is Rain. To turn on the system, you need to say the word.Dylan was shocked, he had to step back because he heard the voice of the system again. Even now the system had a special name."Alright Rain. Can I use the money in my account to buy anything?"System: You are free to use the money as long as it is spent within 3 days. You can also change your look using the following options.Suddenly, a transparent screen appeared in Dylan's view, containing several male body shapes, clothes, haircut styles, and other accessories. Dylan tried to touch his hand to the front but there was nothing there.Then Dylan decided to choose by mentioning his choice.Suddenly Dylan's body felt like bein

Dylan's head felt so dizzy. He also felt nauseous like he might vomit.Dylan finally opened his eyes. Something very dazzling blocked his view. After blinking a few times, Dylan realized that the glare was the magnificent decorative lamp above him.Dylan moved backwards to get away from the lamp for fear of it falling. But when his hand touched the bed, Dylan knew this wasn't his apartment building. Dylan's bed wasn't this soft and big. Dylan's room was small and not as big as this place."Where am I?" He looked around the room.This room was magnificent with a futuristic design like in the movies Dylan had seen about the future. Everything felt so strange and amazing at the same time.Dylan slowly got up and examined his look in the large mirror in front of the bed. Dylan still wore the clothes he had last worn on the flight to Florida.Looking at the desk area, Dylan realized that there were two suitcases that he had brought on the plane. On the other side, Dylan also remembers that

"What do you mean I'm in a parallel world? Aren't l in the year of 2100?" asked Dylan in confusion.System: That's right. You're in a parallel world in the future where this place is more advanced than where you came from. The parallel world is inversely proportional to the normal world.The system's explanation added to the complexity of the thoughts in Dylan's mind."Then, what do you mean by the place where the system was created? Did you mean that you came from a black hole from this parallel world?" asked Dylan.System: Correct, the latest system was created in 2099, one year before today. We were developed by some geniuses so that it can enter the human mind. They tested the system to go back in the past. Instead of returning to the past, some systems entered the mirror world which is the normal world to you."So you are one of the systems that failed?"System: There are no failed systems. Those of us who entered your world also succeeded because we learned many things there."T

System: The second mission you have to do is to take revenge on the people who hurt you, Haily and Alan.Dylan thought seriously about the mission he just got from the system. Would Dylan be able to get revenge, especially on Haily? Dylan didn't know for sure. But Dylan absolutely wanted to get revenge on Alan."Rain, what kinds of features the system have?"System: A system contains the main features such as mission, reward, time limit, penalty, and redeem points. In addition, the system also provides supporting features if needed.Dylan avoided a robot that cleaned up fallen leaves on the ground. He returned to the hotel to pick up the rest of the money and exchange it at the Central Bank. Dylan also listened to the explanation from the system as he walked because he didn't have much time until the bank closed today."What are time limits and redeem points?" Dylan asked. He pressed the 15th floor on the hologram inside the lift.System: Time limit is the limitation given to do a mis

But the two bodyguards who were guarding them stopped Dylan."Do we know each other?" Alan asked."Are you playing dumb? You even punched me until I was passed out," Dylan replied. Then Dylan turned to look at Haily. Haily's look seemed a little different from the last time they met."Why don't we talk inside?" asked Haily. She approached Dylan. "You seem to recognize us."Dylan, Haily, and Alan entered a room that was actually r

Dylan woke up from passed out. He felt the same feeling as when he first woke up in the hospital after being beaten by Alan in the gym. Two IVs were inserted in Dylan's hands.While trying to get up, Dylan felt a nausea that suddenly struck.Dylan vomited on the floor and all he vomited was water. It felt like his throat is still sore and hot.Doctors and nurses entered the room after getting a signal from the room scanner informing them of Dylan's condition.Dylan couldn't stop vomiting. There was no food that he vomited and only water, so it was very painful."Nurse, inject some medicine to relieve the nausea," the doctor said.The nurse injected Dylan with the medicine and shortly he stopped vomiting and started to stabilize.Dylan began to feel the burning in his throat disappear."What exactly happened?" asked Dylan in a hoarse and weak voice."You have alcohol poisoning. Alcohol is not recommended for people to drink on an empty stomach. Your stomach was empty and you immediatel

Dylan prepared for the worst, but he didn't feel the pain of the bullet. So Dylan dared to open his eyes and put his hand out of sight. "Who are you?" asked Dylan. He didn't see the man chasing him, but a woman with a mask covering her face. "People at this level are stupid," said the woman. Dylan looked down, where the man chasing him was in a bloody position from falling while trying to attack him. Dylan's body froze instantly. Does he kill people? "Haven't you ever seen someone die before?" "Obviously I have but not under these circumstances," Dylan replied emotionally. "That's the same thing. There's no use being afraid because you should be relieved that he didn't kill you." "Who are you? You haven't answered my question." The woman was silent as she looked Dylan up and down. This made Dylan unable to resist using his abilities. "Rain, do a scan on that woman in front of me," Dylan ordered the system. System: Scan complete. [Personal information] [Name: Gabriel] [Le

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
