"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
System: Here are the details of your transaction.[Name: Dylan Brodie][Level: II][Abilities: Flying, Scanning][Mission 1: Spend 1 million dollars in 150 days [ongoing]][Time Limit: 150 days][Mission 2: Revenge on Haily and Alan [new]][Time Limit: 7 days][Recent Transaction: System Protection [$10,000]; Abilities: Flying & Scanning [$50,000]][Remaining Balance: $240,000][Redeem Point: 0]"Congratulations Sir, your system has been provided with a safety feature," said the bank officer.Dylan immediately approached Haily and Alan who walked into a room. 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
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
