Alex needs to leave right now. The situation is dire, but... What about Bianca? How could he let Jasmine take her this afternoon? Would the Sans treat her well?Alex fussed with his hair, while Jasmine stood watching with a satisfied smile."Master, you only have ten minutes! Hurry up!"The supervisor's voice rang out again. Alex really felt cornered, he had no other choice. He looked at Jasmine and the woman's smile widened. The look in her eyes was sly. "Come on Alex, no need to think too much. You agree, right?"Reluctantly, Alex was forced to nod his head. If the system world wasn't in trouble, then he would never have made such a reckless decision."Yeah, fine," he said, gritting his teeth. "But if you hurt Bianca, I'll make sure you and your family regret it. I won't let you see her again.""Hey, take it easy. Do you think I would hurt my own daughter?" said Jasmine with a dramatic shake of her head, as if Alex's threats were just talk.Alex let out a tired sigh. He was never
The situation was chaotic.The monster seemed to have lost control. It raged and roared in place with a shrill sound that could damage the eardrums.Right under the light of the sun that had gone back to bed, the monster looked so intimidating with its burning red eyes.Alex noticed that the monster's leg was still wounded. It was the mark from the laser he used to cut off its poisonous claws. Other than that, the rest of the body still looked intact. Especially its upper back which was covered by hard and thick scales like protective armor.Alex scanned further to see if there was anything he could exploit?The only parts that looked soft to attack with weapons like swords and lasers were the monster's legs and mouth. They were not covered by thick scales. But Alex thought, no one from the human system would dare to take such a close position. Especially with the monster's mouth that could spit out hot flames at any time.Alex didn't want to take any chances. And he wasn't going to a
Alex looked at the other system humans with a determined gaze.They gathered in a circle after hearing the previous notice-that they could only return to the real world if the monsters were destroyed. Those words brought a distinct fear that ran down Alex's spine.He was shivering, even though the air was so hot.What if he lost in the end?The thought danced around the outside of his head and made him dizzy.Now, they could only rely on each other.Just like Alex, the other system humans also had someone important in the real world. Someone they wanted to meet and the main reason why they stayed in the system world."We will fight to the end." The man named Damme said in high spirits."We've been specially sent here, so I'm sure we'll be able to fight that monster," Martinez said, nodding in agreement. "Even if we lose, maybe the system world will do something else to eradicate the monster.""Where exactly did the monster come from? Why do we have to fight it?" Bella-the only remaini
Alex gazed sadly at Gonzes' departure. Another fallen human system partner. They had been a good team, but he was too late to save the man.He sighed and rubbed his face in frustration.Now there was only himself left.How could he possibly defeat the monster alone? Alex had fought hard with the other system humans, but not much had changed. Then, if he was alone, would it make any difference?Apparently not.Alex stared at the monster and spontaneously stepped back to see its red eyes fixed on him. The two corners of the monster's mouth moved up, forming a horrible grin that seemed to say that Alex was on the verge of defeat.Alex was indeed just waiting for defeat. His body ached in all parts and the scratched side of his face was constantly twitching with pain. Not to mention his head that hurt, it felt like it was going to explode.What should he do now?The monster stepped forward with a loud noise at every step. Its steps were slow, its eyes fixed on her, like a predator eyeing
No way.It worked? The monster was destroyed? By his own hand, he had defeated it?"No way," Alex whispered with widened eyes. It was so hard to believe, even though the reality was laid out before his eyes.For a long time, Alex was frozen in place, unable to believe his own vision. His mouth was open wide. He blinked at the mountain of coins in front of him.It felt like a dream. Was he hallucinating? Or was this an illusion?Alex patted her hard on both cheeks and even pinched her arm until she whimpered. It hurt, so there was no way she was dreaming."This is real. This is really happening. Oh, my God. How could..." Alex muttered in amazement. His eyes were glued to the mounting sparkle.The pile of coins was at least nearly the same height as the previous monster, but with a much wider volume.Those were priceless system gold coins. Normally, he could only obtain a small amount of coins, and even then only at certain times to restore his strength.But now?This many coins? Oh my
"Can we be friends in real life?" asked Alex after a while. He was quite curious about it considering the chances of them meeting were very slim."Sure, but I'm not sure we'd know each other there? I mean, we'd look completely different," Gonzes said, shrugging his shoulders in amusement. Apparently he had the same thoughts as Alex. Alex chuckled and patted Gonzes' shoulder lightly. "Well, we'll see," he said.For some reason, he felt that Gonzes had a personality in common with him. Alex didn't get along with people easily, but Gonzes was different. Even if the time was short, he could see that Gonzes had a friendly demeanor like Missi.They had been good coworkers in the system world, so who knew if they met in the real world as well?Then there were Leo, Martinez, Damme, and Bella.They all looked nice. Alex tried to remember their faces, maybe in the next level there was another gathering of system humans.They all patted him on the shoulder with proud faces while praising Alex.
"...the flying car is completely yours! You can use it at any time, as long as it is in the system world. So, good luck, Master!"Alex nodded to himself. He looked at his reflection in the center mirror of the car, then he noticed the luxurious and classic interior of the car. Very much in line with his preferences.In this vast system world, he didn't know where to explore yet. Alex just wanted to try out his new car for a while, then go back to see Lucia in the real world."Alright," he muttered, starting to turn the key slowly. The way this car works is almost similar to the car in the real world, there are only minor changes. Alex still remembered exactly how to operate it.He just needed to start the engine and after that, he could relax to his heart's content. The car has automatic sensors that will take users to their destination, so Alex doesn't need to focus on driving. He can even do somersaults in the car and nothing will happen.There will be almost no accidents. The percen
This morning, Alex had to go back to work at the Bi company.His punishment period was over and he would return to his routine as a cleaning service.Missi had called to ask about Maria becoming a new employee at her company, but she wasn't going to make an issue of it. The presence of that woman would definitely be annoying, but she couldn't make any decisions without orders from the system panel.Besides, if he got the task, it would be fun enough to play a prank on Maria like the other day. He still remembered how embarrassed Maria was when the employees laughed at her.So, he would let her keep working at his company.Alex put his wallet in his bag and left the room. On the front porch, Lucia was waiting with her neat appearance. The plan was for them to go to the office together.Out of the corner of Alex's eye, he could see the displeased look of his father-in-law who was sitting on the sofa in the living room. He expected Lucia to go alone without Alex, but she refused. Alex ch
