Lucia couldn't stop thinking about the possibility.But if so, what did Jasmine want?She had never seen Jasmine at this company before. She also came early in the morning, especially since the place where she appeared led to the side yard of the office where Alex was working.Lucia stayed where she was with conflicting feelings. She fully trusted Alex, but her heart kept wondering about Jasmine's coming.Maybe she could ask Alex later.Lucia tried to focus on finishing her work until lunch arrived. She then rushed downstairs to meet Alex, inviting him to have lunch with her.The elevator doors clanked open and instead of seeing Alex, Lucia saw Maria coming out of another elevator on the right side.Lucia stared at her for a moment, then looked away. She didn't like that woman.Maria had proven to be a tyrant for her own pleasure. Lucia still remembered her sharp, insulting words when Alex gave her the expensive jewelry.Maria's eyes seemed to move over the gold Lucia was wearing. Her
Name: Alexander GatesLevel: 19 (19/100)Powers: GoldHealth: Very GoodCoin Power: UnlimitedWeapon System: VR, Golden Sword, Rifle, Boomerang, Missile.Total Wealth: $ InfinityAlex looked at the list of weapons he had. He didn't know the form or power of the mutant yet, so he could only guess for now.They said it was a research mutant that managed to escape, so does that mean his mutant state isn't perfect?Alex just wanted to be prepared, considering the previous incident when he fought the virus ended poorly. Although he won in the end, the risk was high.There was only one mutant, which meant a one-on-one duel. I don't know what it looks like, but it's much better than being ganged up on like the previous virus.But what if it was much different in size from him?Alex sighed and pondered. Well, he had already successfully fought a deadly giant monster, so he had to be confident that he could defeat another one.Alex changed his clothes and went to the kitchen for dinner. Lucia
"ARGGHH!"Alex backed away quickly, his eyes involuntarily closing as he swung his sword. Alex wasn't hit by the mutant, but he spontaneously screamed in surprise.He still wasn't used to his creepy appearance.When he opened his eyes again, he blinked to adjust his vision. She glanced around, but the mutant had already disappeared from her sight. He scanned his surroundings quickly, but there was nothing to be seen but scrap metal.Where had the mutant gone?Alex jumped down and stared in alarm. He searched every pile or crevice in sight, but the mutant was completely gone. Alex had only closed his eyes for about 10 seconds."Oh my. Why did it disappear so quickly?" he muttered in frustration. He rubbed his face in frustration and let out a long sigh.Standing still for a moment, Alex was at a loss for where to go. He had to find the mutant. Alex intended to complete his mission tonight.What now?The thought of returning home came to mind, but it felt like that would only make Alex
Alex arrived at his in-laws' house at three in the morning.He hadn't expected to spend that long in the system world. His battle with the mutant may have been short, but his trip around the city took a while.Regardless, Alex was relieved to be able to complete his task without a hitch. Although, the events in the system world still felt confusing. He would chalk it up to sheer luck.Alex opened the door to his room and found Lucia still asleep. The girl's body was fully wrapped in a blanket, looking so cozy in the biting air. Alex turned up the heat first, then lay down beside his wife.He just wanted to sleep for a while since he had to be ready by six o'clock.'CONGRATULATIONS! YOU HAVE COMPLETED TASK 1 OF LEVEL 19!'Alex, who had almost fallen asleep, opened his eyes again. He stared at the system panel screen absentmindedly, then clicked on the reward money he got - $9 million dollars.So, the task had really been completed.Maybe Alex was just thinking too much. Now, it was cle
As usual, Alex did his cleaning duties for the day. Time seemed to pass very quickly, until without realizing it, the working hours were over.Nothing fun happened that day, except for his short lunch with his wife. Lucia seemed busy with her work. Even so, she always made time for Alex during break time.Alex had already seen some of the work programs sent by Missi. They were starting to work with overseas clients and Lucia was always brought along by her division head for meetings. The clients preferred to have meetings outside while inspecting the ongoing construction.For now, Alex left everything to Missi to handle. He only monitored and gave instructions on more important matters.So far, Alex was happy to see Lucia thriving through her work. He wasn't at all angry if they couldn't go together, he was just happy to see Lucia so excited when working.Just as Lucia always supports and defends Alex, Alex fully supports Lucia's career. There was never any suspicion in his mind.He t
Did he really get a vacation from the system panel?Three days had passed since he completed his task against the mutants, and there was no notice until this weekend. If he was indeed given time to rest for a while, shouldn't there have been a notification? Or at least a confirmation from his supervisor?He felt confused himself.Alex went about his business as usual. He had also asked Leo about mutant research in the system world, but he knew nothing about it. So, Alex had tried to forget about it."Alex, you're going to the gym this morning, right?"Alex turned his head at the sound of Lucia's voice. He reached for his jacket in the closet before turning to face his wife. Lucia stood in the doorway, still in her pajamas.The sun was just rising, but Alex intended to go for a morning run first. He would only be going to the nearest gym that opened at seven."Ah yes so, I'll leave now," he replied."I've prepared some food for you, you might want to have breakfast there." Lucia waltze
"Oh so you've been working as a cleaning service all this time?" asked Gonzes curiously."Yes, and now I'm getting used to the work I do. I'm getting really good at cleaning things," Alex replied, chuckling lightly. He stared out the window, watching the black clouds moving across the sky. "I'll probably keep that job until the system world game is over.""Hm, so that's it.""Yes."There was silence for a moment. Amidst the crowded gym filled with burly, dashing men, Alex and Gonzes chose to take a short break in a corner of the room."And you? What kind of work do you do?" Alex asked back after a minute had passed."Me?" Gonzes laughed blandly, then sighed. "Our jobs are on the same level, maybe lower in people's eyes.""What is it?""I work as a garbage picker," Gonzes said. "I think it's a job that requires one to be mentally strong, because you know what? I've had people throw plastic bags of rotten food in my face."Alex's eyes widened at that. "That bad?"Gonzes nodded with a fa
"Alex...?"Lucia, who had just emerged from the kitchen, rushed over to Alex who was shivering on the spot. Bachdim and the others suddenly stopped laughing and tried to normalize their expressions."What happened? Why are you soaking wet? Did you break through the rain?" Lucia asked worriedly. She cupped Alex's cold, paled cheeks, but Alex smiled."Ah, don't worry. I'm fine, just a little cold."Lucia shook her head and looked at Alex's appearance. "Okay? You're shivering like crazy! Why don't you wait for the rain to stop?""I promised to be home before lunch, right? I forgot to bring my cell phone, so I didn't want to worry you." Alex explained with a small smile, trying to calm the worried Lucia. "Alright, that's okay. I'll take a warm shower right after this."Alex had indeed braved the rain because of his task, but he also remembered his promise to return early. So, Alex wasn't lying to Lucia at all.He just didn't want to deceive her.Lucia nodded with a short sigh. "Yeah, okay.
