As far as the eye could see, there was no sign of the man of armor.However, what if he appeared suddenly? He disappeared like the wind and he could also appear like the wind.Alex did not feel free to explore the X.yom building to find the system coin. He had only checked the storeroom and restrooms, but he stopped long enough in the hallway to think of his enemy's arrival.He couldn't continue to stay here.The system panel had given the order to search for the system coin and no matter what, he had to be able to increase his power.Maybe his level would drop if he didn't complete the task.Alex took a deep breath and walked down the hallway. His VR feature was still active and his sword was always in his hand. He decided to check the main employee lounge, then went to the break room next to it.It was already lunchtime, but his hunger had disappeared somewhere. He was thinking more about strategies to defeat his enemy than filling his stomach.The condition of his arm had improved
The VR feature has disappeared, the golden sword weapon has also disappeared.Alex returned to the real world now.In fact, the wound on his arm also disappeared suddenly. His skin returned to its original state and there were no scars whatsoever. Alex was somewhat surprised to see that, as if he had never been stabbed twice with an unusually sharp iron sword.He realized that this was only true in the system world.However, there was one question that suddenly popped into Alex's head and it was quite disturbing.What if Alex didn't manage to get rid of his enemy? What if his enemy managed to severely injure him or even kill him?Would he return to the real world as if nothing had happened or would his life also end as it did in the system world? Alex thought... all that only applied if he was alive. Even if he was badly injured, it didn't matter as long as he was still alive when he successfully completed his task.If he died, then everything would end as well.This was the meaning
Alex continued his work regardless of Gerry's insults.He just wanted to go home and rest, not listen to the squeaks of a rat who could only boast about his parents' wealth. Gerry Onard had always been known for his hard work, but upon investigation, it turned out that he was just relaxing because he didn't know about his parents' business problems.He may have been seen visiting various companies to make offers of cooperation such as investment, but he was just handing over files made by his assistant. He has no idea what is being discussed. He could only say: 'Yes, of course I agree, sir' without having a good understanding of what was being discussed.Gerry Ornard was a business idiot, but his impeccable appearance made up for it.Being young and blessed with a handsome face, he took advantage of that to establish partnerships for personal gain. Of course, his father's famous company was a great shield for Gerry.Alex had found out a few things about Gerry Onard and Beny Cranfold l
The office hours were almost over, but there was no notification from the panel system. Alex decided to wait in the office, as his gut feeling told him that the task would take place here. There was no more work for Alex to complete, so he had replaced his cleaning service uniform with a regular shirt and pants. Some of the employees who had also finished their work began to set up their things on the desks. After all, there would be an important meeting at five o'clock. The employees could go home early, leaving only the company officials to join the meeting. Alex guessed that the meeting was related to Gerry Onard's arrival here. Regarding Gerry's company investment, Alex wondered how much profit the man would offer X.yom's owners. The owner of X.yom-Arnold Vergara-was not someone who was easily tempted by accepting a partnership just because of how high someone's power was. He reviews many things and places importance on the bidder's performance. If he is competent and has a str
"What is this?""I don't know, sir. I found it at the front of the office and it says on the box that I have to give it to you," Alex said while putting on an innocent face as if he didn't know anything.Arnold gave him a puzzled look as he flipped through the official brown folder in his hands."It says it's related to Mr. Gerry Onard, sir," Alex muttered, continuing his lie smoothly.He intended to make Arnold see for himself all of Gerry's bad behavior through the file he had printed out. He was confident that Arnold would not ignore what he saw of Gerry.Arnold looked hesitant, but then slowly opened the folder. He pulled out five files at once, and quickly scanned the information on the papers.Alex smiled inwardly as he saw Arnold's face change. Between disappointment and anger, he let out a long sigh. The files contained Gerry's aberrant behavior during his time as interim leader of his father's company. His behavior wasn't published in a big way for the public to know, but th
This morning was quiet. A light drizzle fell and the scent of petrikor filled Alex's nostrils. He opened his bedroom window wider and the wind felt cool caressing his face and body.Wearing only a thin t-shirt and boxer briefs made Alex shudder slightly from the cold, but he was reluctant to move from his spot. It was rare that Alex could enjoy a morning like this.Weekend. Well, he didn't go to work today. So, he would spend his time with his daughter until the system panel gave him a new task.The level has risen to level 11. The guess is, there will be another battle or duel with his enemy using the golden sword. Although nerve-wracking, the battle was actually quite energizing for Alex.He was much more energized now.It was funny to remember how gloomy he was after his company went bankrupt. Everyone insulted him, especially the Sans. But what stuck with him the most was his own wife's insults and how she cheated on him.Not that Alex still wished for her. He was happy to see he
Oh God!Alex dodged quickly, luckily his reflexes were quite agile that second. He managed to avoid the slash of his enemy's sword and made him end up slamming into the hard concrete floor. Alex groaned and got up quickly. His enemy wasted no time in attacking again. Alex held him off with all his might, their swords rubbing so hard that sparks flew out of them.Alex took a step back and swung his sword at his enemy's head, but at the last second, he deflected the blade. His enemy groaned in pain as he managed to cut the side of his neck that wasn't protected by anything."Damn it!" His enemy cursed angrily.Alex's eyes opened wide at the sound. Not because of the swearing, but the voice.Wait a minute ....Alex frowned. Why was her voice a female voice? Don't tell me this enemy is a girl?They both stepped back and locked gazes with each other. His enemy's blue eyes somehow looked familiar. Alex then took a good look at his enemy's appearance.His outfit was the same as the enemies
The liquid that flowed down Alex's throat was thick, yet refreshing at the same time. He ordered the most expensive drink here, just to satisfy his curiosity.It didn't taste any better than mineral water, but there was a distinct sensation that made it addictive. The effect wasn't too strong either, so Alex could drink several glasses without fear of losing control. It would be very risky if he lost control when the command from the panel system appeared. Since the previous battle hadn't finished yet, he was afraid that the enemy would suddenly appear and cut off his head easily.Like the previous incident, he wasn't even ready when the woman drew her sword.Sonia, he thought. He wished he could see her again to confirm that his vision was not wrong.Alex sighed and leaned his head back against the sofa. As the night wore on, more and more visitors arrived. Some people were seen jostling at the bar tables while shouting at the bartender. Hearing-deafening music played non-stop and p
