Alex approached with a palpitating feeling. Not because he was in love, but because he was afraid that his guess was right and he wouldn't be able to believe his own vision.It couldn't be Sonia behind the green mask, could it? Sonia looked like a woman who couldn't hurt an ant, but then again, maybe that was just her outer mask?He had to make sure now.Alex spun around to Sonia's side and brought some of the woman's hair to the side, so she could get a good look at her neck and shoulders.Alex pretended to pick something up when his eyes widened at the long scratches on the woman's neck. His gaze shifted to Sonia's shoulder and he felt as if his eyeballs were about to jump out in shock. There was a bruise there. Just like a wound from being hit by a hard object.So it was true.Sonia really was his enemy in this first task.I couldn't believe it.The two wounds on display could not be considered a coincidence anymore. Moreover, the other features were also one hundred percent the s
"Bianca, what do you want, honey?" Alex asked gently to his daughter who was playing on the swing.Alex sat on the picnic blanket, assembling the sandwiches that Bianca's nanny had prepared. The sun was shining brightly this afternoon, but under the dense branches of the Yew tree that formed a canopy, he and Bianca could enjoy some alone time in the backyard.So, Alex didn't have any chores today.When he woke up in the morning at six o'clock with a refreshed body, he anticipated a task from the panel system. Alex took a quick shower and didn't even have time to wash his hair, but unexpectedly, there was no notification from the panel system.Alex ended up having breakfast and playing with Bianca all morning.Then, just before lunch, he again waited for the notification from the panel system while changing his clothes into something efficient. But unexpectedly, it was his supervisor's voice that came up with such a shocking notification.Alex did not have any tasks for today.He was f
Alex and Bianca circled the toy store for four hours. Alex doesn't really like shopping, but for Bianca's sake, he enjoyed every moment. After all, this was quality time he had with his daughter. In the future, he doesn't know if he will have the same kind of free time-a full day without work. Moreover, Bi's company was already on a global level and he needed to supervise more because Missi could not possibly handle everything alone.Alex couldn't rely on anyone else. Right now, Missi was the only one he trusted. So, he wouldn't hire anyone to take care of his company's internal matters, even if that person was competent and shouted that he could be trusted.After his unexpected fight with Sonia, he was even more convinced that anyone could wear a mask and be someone else. The case had nothing to do with Sans' family who were initially so kind to him, as he owned a large company inherited from his parents.His wife flattered him every day, and then he went bankrupt.The Sans family's
Alex stepped into X.yom's company, having seen Gerry disappear in the doorway that led to the owner's main room.Missi had agreed to come early and bring the files that had been prepared. Alex had been talking about the plan in his head. They would invest in X.yom's company and humiliate Gerry Onard.As Alex had guessed earlier, Gerry had wanted to come up with a new proposal. He knew full well that Arnold wasn't an easy man to conquer, so he must have been trying to gain the man's trust in order to launch his foul idea: control of the X.yom company.The Onard family already had many valuable assets and a thriving company, but X.yom was an old company that every generation was interested in.The guarantee that the company would continue to operate for the next ten or twenty years was a lucrative asset in the eyes of businessmen.The Onard family itself had never tried to work with the X.yom company, except for Gerry who somehow thought of taking over the X.yom company.The head of the
By five o'clock in the afternoon, Alex rushed back to his house. It wasn't really time to leave the office, but Alex's work was done and there was nothing else for him to do. Tommy always said that he could go home when everything was done.Alex was curious about the rifle he had gotten. He wanted to take good care of it at home, because he couldn't focus if he stayed at X.yom's office.Alex took the time to stop at a restaurant to buy dinner. He and Bianca had always eaten healthy home-cooked meals, but Bianca was in the mood for some barbecued ribs with peanut sauce.Alex got out of the bus and walked to his palatial home. He intended to move to a more strategic area, since his ex-wife knew his address. He didn't want her to come back and disturb his life with his daughter. He apology was not sincere, he just wanted his money."Daddy!" Bianca's shrill voice rang out as soon as Alex stepped through the door. The child ran to him, then rushed into his arms. "What did you bring?" she a
There was no further notice on what Alex should do next. As always, he waited patiently, and hoped that he would be able to complete his task properly. His task was to fight enemy 2, but there was no sign yet that he should prepare. Alex went to X.yom's office to work and he always looked around vigilantly, in case the enemy came unexpectedly.There weren't many tasks that Alex had to do that day. Some of the employees went out of town as a reward from Arnold for his cooperation with the Bi company. Alex was happy to know that the employees were praising his company's performance, but the anxious thought of his system game assignment made his heart beat like a drum.He hoped his supervisor would tell him the time when his enemy would show up.Alex decided to go to the first floor cafeteria. Maybe filling his stomach with food would put his mind at ease. He ordered a sweet drink-Bianca said it would ease his fears-but in fact, he still felt worried.He was so anxious, even though this
Alex's screams spontaneously stopped as his feet balanced on the concrete floor.He was safe."It's a good thing I survived!" Alex said to himself. He was now repeatedly rubbing his chest to calm himself down. He thought his body would break from falling hundreds of feet, but he realized that gravity here was not like in the real world. It was as if invisible wings had appeared on his back when he fell, so that his body did not hit the ground directly.This world is interesting... and strange. But very sophisticated. Alex looked around and didn't find the essence of his enemy anymore. He walked through the place slowly. His gaze was then distracted by a capsule containing a robot, displayed on the front of a towering building.Did the robot work?Alex settled into the glass building and found no signs of activity inside. The place as a whole seemed deserted, only a few people could be seen passing by with armor wrapped around their bodies. The cars and trains that passed by were cove
Now, Alex has returned to reality safely. He was suddenly in his room."My body feels fresh and fit. Whereas I was in the system world injured and dying." Alex was surprised by how he felt now. He just realized that it was true what the supervisor said, that the system world and the real world were very different. Suddenly Alex thought of something. "Oh yeah! I forgot! What was the reward for the task I completed earlier?" Alex wondered to himself while scratching his head that wasn't itchy.His state in the system world was very weak, that's why he wasn't very focused on reading his reward on the system panel. "Damn! I forgot my reward!""But, I already clicked on the claim reward so I should get a reward.""Ah, if only I could control the system panel by myself, then I would have checked the history on my system panel," Alex said. He hoped that the system panel would upgrade the way he wanted it to.Suddenly Alex remembered something. "How stupid am I! Why didn't I check my bank a
