Alex looked at the Verg family home, which was designed like a medieval European building. There was a modern touch at the front, giving it a unique and striking impression compared to other houses.

The house was large, with a large yard as well. The grass was neatly trimmed, and several green plants adorned the right and left sides of the house.

It was said that Lucia's two married siblings also lived in the house.

And as a new member, Alex was also required to live here based on the system panel's request.

Alex knew that the Verg family didn't like him very much, especially his father-in-law and Lucia's brother, but what could he do? There was no way Alex could refuse the system panel's request.

Pulling his suitcase, Alex took Lucia's hand who greeted him happily at the door. For his wife's sake too, he thought. She was the biggest reason why he agreed to stay here.

They passed through the door and the Verg family members could be seen sitting on the sofa. His father-in-law-Bachdim

    Lucia had returned from the bathroom, and she quickly sat down next to Alex.Seeing that Alex had eaten very little, she quickly offered him her homemade food. "Alex, let's try this, it's delicious."Lucia shamelessly pushed a spoonful of stir-fried vegetables into Alex's mouth. Alex looked around the table where the Verg family was looking at him sarcastically, but he didn't care.He opened his mouth and Lucia smiled happily. The girl went back to spooning the rest of Alex's uneaten food on the plate, while sighs of displeasure began to be heard.Alex felt like laughing at how annoyed the Verg family was when Lucia treated her so sweetly.Alex realized that Lucia did not hesitate to show her affection in front of her family. It didn't matter if they responded well or not.Lucia's brothers obviously didn't like seeing Lucia happy. They would definitely say something bad to put a strain on Alex and Lucia's relationship.Alex couldn't believe what Bastian had said earlier.Forced to the

    If it wasn't for the orders from the system panel, Alex would have loved to return their insults. He didn't want to be humiliated in front of his wife, but unfortunately, Alex could only stay where he was."So what if Alex asks?" Lucia replied angrily. She was really annoyed with her brother's attitude of always putting others down, and worse, her own husband. Lucia couldn't take it!"Alex asked because he cares about me. Not like you guys who can only look down on me, but can't even help pay off my father's debt," she continued with emphasis, her face already flushed with emotion.Despite this, her siblings continued to snicker. Bastian rolled his eyeballs in disgust. "Why are you so upset, Lucia? Didn't I just tell you the truth, the fact that your husband's salary isn't much?" he said, grinning at Alex.Lucia growled. "But you didn't have to until-""Lucia..." Alex lightly touched Lucia's hand as she stood up. He stroked the back of her hand gently. "It's okay, it's okay," he whisp

    Alex needed an explanation from his supervisor.A second after that thought, what Alex was expecting was finally heard."Master! This task is different from the previous ones. The tasks at this level are much more challenging, dangerous, and could threaten your life. You must be careful and maximize your strength if you want to survive."Alex felt his heart rate jump dramatically hearing that. The word 'monster' alone was scary enough, but hearing the warning voice of his supervisor was even more terrifying."So it's like this, Master. Currently, in the system world, there is one monster that is the enemy of all system humans. This monster can destroy all the order and progress that exists in the system world."Ah, I see. Alex unconsciously tightened his embrace on Lucia.His supervisor continued in an increasingly slow and serious voice, "If in the real world there is a virus that is slowly wiping out humans, then in the system world the problem is monsters. The only way to solve tha

    "Hello Missi?"Alex stared at the quiet surroundings as he waited for an answer from his assistant. He wanted to do something before going to the system world."Yes, sir?" Missi's hoarse voice finally came from the other side of the phone. It looked like she had just woken up. "What's wrong? Sorry, I overslept.""It's fine, and sorry to call you at this time of night. But can you transfer $1 million dollars to my wife's account?" he asked. He couldn't shake the girl's sad face about her father's debt, so Alex wanted to help."Tonight, sir?""Yes, tonight," Alex said quickly. "Just tell them it's the annual bonus given to every employee on the new date, including new hires like Lucia. Or add that Bi Company always makes bonus payments in advance," he explained at length. He didn't want any suspicion."Oh good, sir. I understand. I'll do it tonight.""Very well. Thank you, Missi.""You're welcome, sir."Alex disconnected and breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at Lucia's face on his ph

    For a moment, Alex felt the monster's movements slow down slightly.A golden light then appeared above them and system coins flew out. The coins moved towards them quickly, then seemed to seep into Alex's body. The other system humans also had the same thing happen. Alex felt something strange happening to him. His body felt much more fit than before. He assumed that the coins had given him a new energy with abundant power.A system panel then appeared before him, clearly displaying Alex's power stats.New ammunition, he thought. Apparently they all got a boost in strength before fighting the monster. Alex noticed his power level had drastically increased to 100 percent."Master! Be careful when fighting the monster! You don't want to get hit by a blast of hot fire that could destroy your body instantly! You should also avoid its claws as they contain deadly poison! Good luck!"His supervisor's voice could be heard warning with emphasis."Not a good thing," Alex muttered. His body st

    Before entering his in-laws' house, Alex reached for his cell phone again to call Missi. He just wanted to know if the man had carried out his orders?The clock on his phone screen showed nine o'clock at night, which meant that he had been gone for an hour. He didn't know if there was a significant time difference between the real world and the system world? Although it felt like Alex had been in the system world for at least three more hours.Or... was that just his feeling?Alex couldn't clearly remember the passage of time, let alone the terrifying experiences he had faced in the system world.The most important thing was his safety. He only thought about that.But recalling the monster's form and overwhelming power, he shuddered at the thought of what happened to the other system humans.Would they also return to the real world? Or did they stay in the system world? What about the ones that had been destroyed? Had they died?There were many things running through Alex's head. But

    "Bastian, don't say that! Alex works there too and he's a good worker. Of course he'll get a bonus." Lucia interrupted before Bastian could continue his insults.The man snorted again and quickly looked away with a disgruntled face.Alex touched Lucia's arm, signaling the girl not to respond to her brother's remarks. "Already, it's okay. Don't mind him."Lucia nodded with a long sigh. "Come on, we should sit down," she invited, pulling Alex to join her family on the sofa.A glare from her in-laws was the first sight to come, but Alex chose to look the other way."By the way, is your business done? You're back early," Lucia said, noticing Alex's appearance."Yes, just a brief meeting. We talked about work.""Ah, I see." Lucia nodded. She seemed to want to ask further questions, but seeing Alex's haggard and tired face, she decided against it. Her hand impulsively rose to wipe the sweat from Alex's temple. "So, I want to use the bonus to pay off dad's debt, so we can all breathe free,"

    "Alex, did my dad and siblings say anything bad to you again?"Alex turned his head at the sudden question. Lucia was sitting on the edge of the bed, looking at Alex who was hanging his jacket by the closet.So, after calling Bianca for over an hour, they decided to go straight to bed instead of going back to the living room. However, Alex didn't expect Lucia to ask him that.Lucia had brought up her father's debt again, and Alex thought his face might frown when he heard how stingy Lucia's brother was."No." Alex shook his head, telling a smooth lie. He just didn't want to start a fight between Lucia and her family. "They're busy discussing Bi's company. That's all," he added.Besides, Alex didn't care about their insults. He would choose to keep quiet, no matter what they said. Unless he got a specific assignment from the system panel, then he would act.For now, he would just be indifferent. As long as they did not physically harm him, he did not care at all.In this house, his pri

    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
