The days passed quickly, unknowingly bringing Alex to the day of the fall festival.Alex always remembered Lucia's happy face and cheerful voice when announcing the event. So today, the two of them would come together. That's right, the three of them, because Bianca was coming too.After putting on a scarf and beanie for Bianca, Lucia also fixed Alex's coat and buttoned it up properly. The air was much bitter today, so Lucia wanted to make sure none of them got hypothermia."Are you ready?" Lucia asked. Bianca nodded happily, while Alex smiled. "Let's get going then."Alex opened the taxi door for the two and they set off for the town of Parkerburg. The festival was held right near the famous overpass as a tourist spot."Are there lots of delicious cakes?" asked Bianca. She sat between Alex and Lucia, looking enthusiastic as she played with her stuffed rabbit."Of course. There are lots of cute and sweet treats," Lucia replied, pinching Bianca's cheeks."Then I'd like to buy everythin
Name: Alexander GatesLevel: 22 (22/100)Powers: GoldHealth: Very GoodCoin Power: 70%Weapon System: VR, Golden Sword, Rifle, Boomerang, Missile, Stratcher.Total Wealth: $ InfinityAlex stared at his full bio with a pondering look. Underneath, there was an important warning about his next task. Alex was told to be prepared because the task was quite difficult to complete.Discussing the difficult task, Alex automatically remembered the monsters, viruses, and mutants he had fought before. Was the level of difficulty on par with that or perhaps worse?It was better for Alex to wait for an explanation from his supervisor.He stepped out of the room and saw Lucia preparing tea. Bachdim was said to have gone fishing with Tonny and Bastian, but somehow Alex didn't believe it. He had seen Tonny pass by the house with a neat suit wrapped around his body.What kind of fishing spot would make him wear a suit?After what had happened in the past few days, Alex thought Bachdim was getting susp
Alex walked down the hallway and arrived at a large room like a soccer stadium, circular in shape with a sandy arena in the center. It was the place where Alex would fight. The system humans were seated on chairs arranged in tiers, facing right into the arena.The cheers of the incoming system humans were loud, bouncing off the concrete walls surrounding the venue. Alex took a nervous breath, then stepped out of the aisle.That's when a light shone on him. Then across the arena, another light highlighted his opponent's whereabouts.That man! He still wore the silver mask, with the armor now complementing his body. His dark eyes stared right at Alex and despite the mask, Alex somehow felt that the man was grinning."Good evening everyone!" shouted a burly man who stepped into the center of the arena. That's when the lights came on and revealed his figure as an intermediate referee.Alex stared in amazement at the thousands of system humans in attendance, it seemed that not a single sea
Five seconds before the second half begins.Alex counted down and looked up at Valtazar holding a laser sword. Not just any sword, but a laser that could shatter his body to the bone.The young man who helped Alex up had just told him so, so Alex joined him in using his golden sword weapon. He would use the stratcher when Valtazar could no longer use his laser."Both fighters please come forward," called the referee when the break was over.Alex stepped into the center of the arena with Valtazar. His face was still throbbing with pain. The risk of defeat was much greater with his head exposed without protection, but Alex would not give up.Valtazar's threats did not affect him at all."Ready..."Alex held his sword tightly and took a step back.The referee stepped back and prepared to blow the whistle. "Begin!"Valtazar swung his sword forward and Alex blocked it, causing a loud clanking sound and sparks. They swung at each other with Valtazar aiming for sensitive points on Alex's bod
"All those coins for me?""Of course, Master. They are the reward for your victory over our cyborg human."Alex's mouth formed a perfect 'O' with a look of amazement. The mountain of coins in front of him seemed to be as much as what he got when fighting monsters.The system panel then displayed Alex's power coins which had returned to 'unlimited' mode.Well, it could be said that his previous struggle was very stressful. Although the side of Alex's face was almost destroyed, he thought the reward was really worth it. After all, when he returned to the real world, his condition would be restored.Next, he would enter the tasks at level 23, which would definitely be much more challenging.Alex then returned to the real world and arrived right in front of the Verg family home. The sudden sound of an owl almost made him jump on the spot. He checked the clock, it was exactly seven in the evening.His hand spontaneously rose to touch the side of his face, there were no more cuts and stab w
"So our guesses have been right all along? My ex-son-in-law really has built up his company and amassed his fortune back?"Tonight, Maria, John, and the in-laws had gathered in the living room to talk about what Maria had seen at Bi Company. Maria had told them in detail about the jewelry Lucia had gotten, as well as where Alex had gotten it from."Yep, that's right Mom," Maria said. "I'm sure he's getting successful now, but he's still trying to hide everything. He's still in the cleaning service, for whatever reason.""Maybe he's doing that to cover up his business," said the father-in-law. "But what business is Alex running? Is it the same as before? The real estate business?""I don't know, but he looks a bit haughty now," Maria said, remembering how Alex had always rejected Jasmine.John and his parents-in-law nodded in agreement."They say he's not as approachable now. That's what Jasmine said," the mother-in-law said, exhaling harshly. "I think we need to use Bianca to get Alex
"His assistant said that Mr. Angelo will be waiting for you at a five-star restaurant in the city center, sir. I have sent the full address.""I understand. Thank you, Missi," Alex said, glancing at the clock on the office wall-it was two in the afternoon. He went to Bi's office first to keep Lucia company, then he would meet Angelo after changing.Angelo wanted a private meeting, rather than an official business meeting involving their assistants. From what Alex had read, Angelo was the type of person who took business very seriously, although he often looked casual in his T-shirts and shorts.He hung up the phone and hurried to his private room, where Missi had prepared the necessary files. Afterward, Alex went straight back to his old home to change.A five-star restaurant that stood majestically looked deserted after being rented by Angelo. He deliberately left the restaurant empty so that the two of them could talk freely, without being noticed by others.They could have met in a
"The party is next week."It was Angelo's last message before he and Alex parted ways. They planned to throw a party to celebrate their upcoming partnership. Angelo had also agreed to invite the Verg family and the Sans family at Alex's request.He could already imagine how the two sly families would react, but he still wanted to see their expressions firsthand."I have to go back to Bi's office now," he muttered. His head looked up, staring at the sky that was still overcast after the drizzle. Puddles were everywhere, splashing on the bottom of Alex's pants as he walked.Alex stepped to the nearest bus stop as he stuffed his files into his coat. He wanted to go back home to change before going to his office again.But before Alex could order a taxi, a notification from the system panel suddenly appeared in front of him.'DING! DING!''TASK 1 LEVEL 23: WEAR SUIT TO BI COMPANY!'Alex wiped his face and stared at the line again. It was true that he was told to wear a suit to Bi Company
