Parallel System Chapter 10
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
Parallel System Chapter 14
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

Dylan still shocked that the bill for the system device he bought was 1 million dollars! Dylan thought it was only thousands, but it turned out to be far beyond his expectations. Now Dylan's balance was running dangerously low. Dylan was sure Alan would do something with the 10 million dollars and wouldn't let Dylan have it for long. Dylan saw the Electric Club which would be the second meeting place with Alan and Haily in this parallel world. There were two large robots guarding the front of the club with two guns. Gosh, Dylan couldn't even tell if this was a club or a prison that it had to be guarded so tightly. As Dylan entered, the guard confronted him. "Show me your balance." "Is that necessary?" asked Dylan. "People who can enter here must have a balance of at least $1 million dollars." "Yes, go ahead and check it," Dylan challenged. The two robots scanned Dylan and his balance was displayed on a holographic screen. "You're welcome to come in." Dylan straightened his ti

"Why are you silent? Are you scared? You're so pale, I'm worried you'll faint again." Dylan was silent as he thought of all the possibilities if he accepted Alan's offer. Dylan calculated the costs and benefits because this was no longer about prestige, but about his mission as well. "What will I get if I play games with you?" asked Dylan. It was a good move to ask this because Dylan couldn't take a risk for nothing. He had come all the way to this world for nothing. "Of course you'll get the money I have, all of it." Alan displayed the hologram screen again. "But if you lose, all your balance will be mine. How's that?" The offer was very interesting, but Dylan couldn't believe it yet because he was Alan. Alan could be lying, right? "Why should I trust you?" Dylan had a serious look on his face. "Why should I trust someone who raised the war flag at the first meeting?" Alan laughed. "I didn't expect that you'd bring that up again." Alan handed Dylan a glass of alcohol. "How abou
Parallel System Chapter 17
Dylan's breathing was ragged. His body returned to normal function because he was out of the game. Every time a player was killed, the game was temporarily stopped. Unfortunately Dylan lost 1 life in vain just because he wasn't given the chance to run. During the countdown to start the game, Dylan's shoe got stuck in a hole in the ground. So he couldn't run when the game started. The hunter shot Dylan when he didn't run. The shot hurt much more than when Alan beat him. He even swore many times. "I want to report a cheat," Dylan said when the game was about to start again. Everyone was looking at Dylan. But none of them saw the situation Dylan was in when his foot got stuck. The staff pointed a white spotlight at Dylan. "Please explain what you mean by cheating." "My foot got stuck in a hole in the ground. It wasn't fair because only the ground on my side had holes while the other players' didn't. So, I want the game to be repeated from the beginning," Dylan explained. This is a
