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

    "Looking for coins in public places? How do I do that?" Alex wondered in his heart. Not long after that, his supervisor's voice rang out. "Master, go to a public place and find a lot of coin systems to charge your power."Alex remembered that he could already communicate with the supervisor, so he replied, "Supervisor, what kind of public place do you mean? Does the public place have to be specific?""No, Master. That is up to you. You can freely go to any public place," the Supervisor replied."Oh, okay." Alex was excited. He started to leave the house and went to the traditional market not too far from his house. Alex arrived at the traditional market. Many merchants were selling their wares there. The market was very crowded. "Hey, I just saw you come in here! Pay your taxes to me!" said a fat man. His skin was black, and his eyes looked at Alex sharply."Yes. I was here for the first time today." Alex replied innocently."It's precisely because you're here for the first time t

    Alex walked to the left side, he searched all the places in this market to get a lot of coins. He didn't care about the other system humans anymore, as he knew that he wasn't alone in hunting for system coins. Rather, there were also many system humans hunting for coins."That means I have a lot of competitors hunting for this system coin. Huh! No problem. I'll keep working hard to get more, so that my power increases to 100%," Alex said in his heart. He encouraged himself. As Alex walked, an old woman intercepted him. "Help me," the old woman said to Alex. Her face was pitiable. Her clothes were very shabby. Her face was also pale. Alex furrowed his brow, he asked the old lady politely, "Excuse me, what can I do for you, ma'am?""Do me a favor. Buy my groceries. Since morning, no one has bought my groceries." The old woman said. She pointed to her stall on the right. Alex looked at the old woman's selling stall. She sold a lot of fresh vegetables. But, no one was buying them. "Pl

    Alex is currently on alert, as his enemy has been detected nearby. He has also used the golden sword feature, and is preparing to fight with his enemy like before. Alex continued to walk through the market as his eyes quickly looked right and left to be alert. Suddenly, someone from behind stabbed Alex in the back."AAAA!" Alex screamed loudly. He fought back and tried to turn his head so he could see the perpetrator who had stabbed him with a knife. But, Alex couldn't. Moreover, the perpetrator who stabbed him immediately ran quickly. "It hurts!" Alex was in pain. 'Your power is decreasing!Alex looked at the system panel in front of him that showed the percentage of his power. "Damn! I've struggled to build up my power to 81%, and now it's dropped to 50% because of this puncture!" Alex complained. He walked slowly to rest for a moment on the side. His back was in a lot of pain. In the real world Alex had never felt pain like this.Alex sat on the terrace of an empty shophouse. A

    Behind the young woman were three large men chasing her. "Bitch! Stop!" one of the big men said to the young woman."Sir, help me, I will be arrested by them. I don't want to!" The young woman was in a panic. She hid behind Alex's body.The three big men stopped in front of Alex. They looked at Alex sharply. One of them spoke sternly to Alex, "Hey, step aside! Don't interfere with our business. We will arrest this woman!""Sir, help me. Right now, my life and death are in your hands. I'm sure you're a good man who will help me," the young woman said to Alex with fear."Calm down miss, you can get into my car. And lock my car from the inside," Alex told the young woman. Alex's conscience told him that he had to help this young woman."Are you going to commit a crime against this woman? If so, I will report you all to the police!" Alex said to the three big men. "HAHA! What nonsense! You're just a hobo! Look at the clothes you're wearing, so shabby and disgusting! I suspect that you're

    Alex waited for the system panel screen to change and display his latest level assignment.'TASK 1 LEVEL 13: YOU MUST IMMEDIATELY RESIGN FROM COMPANY X.YOM! DO IT THIS AFTERNOON!'Alex raised one eyebrow. He reread the order and nodded to himself. Finally after all this time, he could quit the company.It wasn't that Alex didn't like his job, but he was sick of seeing John's face every day. Not to mention his useless insults. Very much in keeping with his low character.Alex wondered what kind of replacement job he would get after leaving X.yom?"Alex?"Lucia's voice snapped Alex back to reality. He turned around and realized that Lucia had been watching him."You seem lost in thought," the girl said, looking worried.Alex smiled and shook his head. "Ah sorry, I just remembered something," he lied.After all, Lucia couldn't see the system panel that was hovering in front of her. Soon, the panel's light slowly dimmed and disappeared.Alex drove his car onto the deserted highway. Out of

    Early in the morning, Alex was ready in his cleaning service uniform. He looked at his appearance in the mirror and took a deep breath.A new task was about to begin.He wondered what the reward would be or how much money he would earn, since he had to complete two tasks at once.He stepped to the bus stop to wait for the bus, then texted Missi that he would be starting work this morning. The man as usual would act as if Alex was just a lowly man working at Bi Company.His two tasks at level 13 were finally completed. Shortly after this, he was sure a notification from the system panel would appear soon.And sure enough, two seconds later came the clanking sound that Alex was all too familiar with.'DING! DING!'Alex turned his attention away from the phone screen at the sound. The system panel appeared before him with a pleasant notification.'CONGRATULATIONS!

    Starting from a meeting at the office that morning, Alex found himself noticing Lucia more and more.He didn't know what it was about her, but there was something about her that caught his attention. Alex is not one to be easily attracted to women he has just met, but then again, Lucia was different.Her sincerity, her courage, her kindness, her spirit, her determination... How she smiled or spoke softly to him. How her eyes sparkled or her cheeks flushed when complimented... All of that kept replaying in Alex's head. Even when he was back home, there were little things that made him remember her.Alex felt like Lucia. Or, had he really fallen in love with her?It might be too early to draw conclusions, but he knew his feelings for Lucia were real.Alex himself didn't know how Lucia felt about him. Did she just think of him as a friend? Or did she nurture the same feelings?I don't know. In Alex's eyes, everything still felt vague.So far, they had started having lunch together more

    Alex ran down the hospital hallway in a hurry. Sweat poured down his face and neck. His expression was one of panic and anxiety. He was still in the office when Alex's trusted doctor called to say that Lucia was in labor.There had been a traffic jam on the road, but luckily Alex was able to get out quickly. He rushed down the hospital hallway to the room he was told about.Lucia was in labor.He repeated the words in his head and his heart began to pound loudly.Having just turned the corner, Alex could already hear the sound of a baby crying from the open door of the room. He ran inside and saw the doctor begin to transfer the baby into Lucia's arms.Lucia turned around with her cheeks already wet with tears. "Alex, our child... our child was born safely."Alex couldn't help but cry when he heard that, especially when his eyes fell on the baby's tiny body.Lucia was right about her guess. Their first child was a girl. Alex thought she was just guessing, but she really meant what she

    A cold breeze blew in carrying the falling snowflakes, lightly brushing the side of Alex's face.A pinch of hair that Alex had neatly combed back, again fell across his forehead. Alex sighed and smoothed it back down. Lucia was right, Alex should have worn a spray to keep his hairstyle from changing.This afternoon, Alex received an official invitation from the system world. He was to be crowned the system's human master and the ceremony was to take place at seven o'clock.Alex told Lucia that he had to attend an important event. Lucia didn't ask many questions and asked Alex to be careful.Alex was honestly at a loss to tell Lucia about the world of systems. How he got there and participated in 100 levels of the game, how he earned a lot of money for his hard work, how he fought monsters...He felt conflicted about telling her.Alex could probably brush everything off as if nothing had happened, but he felt he had to tell Lucia. After the invitation, he knew that the knot tying him t

    This morning, Alex and Lucia were finally able to go to the doctor without a hitch.Lucia had been vomiting since she woke up, so a worried Alex didn't want to delay the examination any longer.Alex felt that his suspicions about Lucia being pregnant were correct. Lucia herself felt the same way, but she didn't want to jump to conclusions. They had been hopeful since the beginning of their marriage, so Lucia didn't want to end up disappointed.They both stepped into the examination room, but suddenly, Lucia stopped walking and squeezed the cuff of her husband's shirt."Lucia, what's wrong?""I'm scared." Lucia bit her lip as she glanced into the examination room. "What if the results are disappointing?"Alex sighed and rubbed his wife's shoulders. "Honey, everything will be fine. Whatever the answer is, I'll accept it. The most important thing now is your health. We need to know what happened to you. Even if you're not pregnant, I won't be angry," Alex whispered, trying to calm Lucia

    Alex's battle axe hit the monster in the head.The axe stuck in the center, injuring both eyes of the monster which were now covered in blood.That made the monster's movements chaotic, it kept moving its tail blindly, no longer knowing where its enemy was.This was Alex's chance to leave.Alex quickly ran to his car, ignoring the pain in his hands. He circled around the monster's body and moved into the tunnel. Alex cheered inwardly, then sped up his car at high speed.In the rearview mirror, he saw the monster moving back into the tunnel, blocking the newly arrived participants with their oil-splattered cars.Alex didn't know how to describe his happiness when the finish line came into view. The spectators cheered excitedly at Alex's arrival from behind the tunnel, given that none of the participants had appeared so far."YES, THIS IS IT! FINALLY SOMEONE EMERGES FROM THE TUNNEL AFTER PASSING THE CHALLENGE AT THE RED DOT!""ALEX! GO! GO!"Alex rolled down the window and waved to his

  • Chapter 177-Facing the Monster

    Was the race attended by all the system world's inhabitants?Alex arrived at a large field filled with system humans. In the eastern part of the field, there were cars lined up with the race participants. Then at the edge of the field, there was a giant poster that read: "SYSTEM WORLD ANNUAL COMPETITION!"The three winners of the previous race were posted at the bottom of the poster. The race was said to be held every 10 years and could only be participated in by players who were in the 50s and above.That's why Alex was asked to join by his supervisor.Alex stepped closer and a system panel floating in the air instantly displayed his face."Participant number 20: Alexander Gates has arrived!" The voice echoed around the field.Alex could only raise his hand in greeting as his fans went crazy. They were all restrained behind iron fences. Even so, they excitedly continued to chant his name."ALEX! ALEX! YOU'RE THE BEST!"Alex didn't expect his fans to increase fivefold after defeating

    They peeked again and now saw Alex's interaction with the lawyer.The two seemed very close, and the man even tapped Alex on the shoulder once in a while."So... Alex hasn't been lying all this time? How could this be... I thought it was all just because of Angelo's power, but apparently..." Bastian ran out of words to explain. He dropped his backpack and rubbed his face repeatedly, almost feeling crazy.Lecia and Tonny were speechless as all the strange things that had been happening were finally solved. As if their eyes were all opened, the lawyer's arrival completely stunned them."Yes Sir, the process of accounting for all your assets will be completed in a few days. We will donate a portion of your wealth to the schools and courses where your late daughter studied."The lawyer's voice sounded closer. Tonny peeked back and apparently, he had already started walking out with Alex.They hurriedly stepped back and took a spot some distance away from the door."I'll call you when ever

    Bastian sat limply on his couch. His eyes were glued to his cell phone lying on the table."Let's call him," Vinna said with an annoyed look. She had been waiting since earlier, but Bastian hadn't done it.They were already in debt and the bank officials would be back in the afternoon. If they don't get a loan soon, their house will be seized as collateral."Come on Bastian! Are you waiting for us to get beat up by the banker's assistant?"Bastian let out a harsh sigh and finally reached for his cell phone. "Yes, yes, please be quiet. My head hurts."Vinna sighed and looked at her husband. They were already tired of being charged by the bank, so the only person who could save them was Lucia.Vinna honestly didn't want to ask Lucia for help, but what could she do? Once they were out of debt, he wouldn't want to grovel before Lucia again.Bastian puts the phone to his ear, waiting for Lucia to answer. The ticking of the clock fills the silence in the room, while Vinna waits tensely in h

    Towards midnight, Bianca's condition suddenly worsened. Alex, who had been waiting on one of the sofas, rushed to the bed in a panic.The doctor checked her condition quickly, while Bianca tried to pass a roll of paper to Alex.The letter she had written.More tears fell down the boy's cheeks as his chest rose and fell rapidly. Bianca seemed to be having trouble breathing, and the light in her eyes was fading."Bianca! Bianca!" Lucia anxiously cried out the child's name, her tears falling at Bianca's feet.Alex couldn't describe how he felt right now. He was terrified at the thought of what was going to happen. Cold sweat ran down his body. His legs were shaking so badly that he couldn't even stand up. He clung to the edge of the bed as Bianca tried to speak through her labored breathing."Daddy promised to... take care of his health... and you too, mommy..."Alex shook his head and tried to calm Bianca down. The child's breathing seemed to be getting weaker. Alex stood rigid with a f
