Alex is silent for a moment. Meanwhile, Jasmine continues to beg him. She even bowed down at Alex's feet. Then, Bianca came to her parents who were at the front door of the house. The little 5-year-old girl sees her mother, she immediately runs to Jasmine and hugs her. "Mommy, I miss you so much." Bianca said to her mother. Jasmine hugged Bianca tightly, "I miss you too, My princess!" Then, Bianca let go of her mother's embrace, and she looks seriously into Alex's face. "Daddy, let Mommy stay with us in this house. I want Mommy to be with me, Daddy. Please!" Bianca pleaded with her father. Alex sighs. Really, this is a difficult thing for him. Because, he is already hurt by Jasmine who has betrayed his love. But, today his daughter requested that Jasmine be able to live with them in this house. "Please, Daddy!" Bianca begged Alex again with a sad expression on her face. As a good father, Alex can't see his daughter sad. All this time, whatever Bianca's wishes were always fulfill
The panel system suddenly disappears from Alex's eyes. And now there is the sound of John laughing.John and his wife Yisabella are laughing at Alex. Because, Alex's appearance is really shabby, and he confidently goes to the mall. "Haha! Look at your appearance, Alex! You're so embarrassing! It's a good thing you're divorced from my younger sister, otherwise I'd be even more embarrassed to have a brother-in-law like you!" John said while laughing at Alex and looking at him with disgust. "That's right, Honey. It's a good thing that he's no longer our brother-in-law, otherwise I would have been very upset today and I would have scolded him all the way home!" Yisabella said too. Alex is still silent. He really is lazy to argue today. So, he doesn't care about John and his wife. Alex is still waiting for the waitress to bring his order. "So, why are you standing here? Before security comes and kicks you out, you better get out of here quickly! I'm still nice to you, I don't want you t
[UPGRADING YOUR WEALTH SYSTEM] It was clearly written on the system panel. The loading display appeared, and the percentages continued to increase rapidly to 100%. After the number reached 100%, the word success was written there. 'UPGRADE SUCCESSFUL! "Master, we have added many features to your wealth system. It's a magical system that can not only make money for you, but can also detect enemies from near and far. This feature is to protect you from evil." The Supervisor's voice rang in Alex's ears. Alex was very happy to hear this, "Really? Am I dreaming? This system will not only benefit me financially, but it will also protect me. This is amazing!" 'NEW TASKS! CLICK NEXT!' The text on the panel appeared, the text flashing repeatedly. Alex quickly pressed the next button. Then, a new display appeared again. 'TASK 1 AT LEVEL 7. LOOK CAREFULLY!' 'APPLY FOR ANY JOB AT X.YOM COMPANY! DO THIS TASK IMMEDIATELY, BECAUSE THE NEXT TASK WILL BE RELATED TO TASK 1.' Alex was surprised
"Welcome to our company, Mr. Alex. As we agreed yesterday, are you sure you can accept the job as cleaning service here?" Maher asked the man who was sitting in front of him. Alex looked serenely at Maher's face. Then, he nodded. "Yes. Of course I'm sure, Mr. Maher." "Then this is your work clothes. Please change and start working today," Maher told Alex as he handed him a plastic bag containing the uniform. Alex took Maher's handout. He was ready to work today. He accepted the job as cleaning service because he remembered his supervisor's order, that he must get any job in this company to carry out his next task at level 7. So, Alex was ready to accept it. "Okay. Thank you, Mr. Maher. Let me change my clothes first, then I'll start working today," Alex said. Maher nodded and gave Alex permission to leave. Alex went to the changing room, and after that he entered Daniel's room, who was the head of the division for cleaning service workers. Previously, Maher had told Alex about Dan
Maher and Daniel together entered the technician's room to check the CCTV. There they saw clearly that it was John who made trouble for Alex first. They saw that John first laughed at Alex, and then kicked the water bucket so that it flooded the floor. It was very clear from the CCTV that John was the trouble maker. Maher and Daniel looked at each other, after seeing this CCTV they already knew what to do. At that very moment, they called John and Alex to join them."John, we saw on the CCTV that you interrupted Alex's work! Why did you do that?" Maher asked. There was a disappointed look on his face. Because, all this time he knew that John had never done anything wrong in this company. But today John disappointed Maher.John answered with a lie, "No! It was Alex who insulted me first. That's why I kicked the bucket." John kept defending himself. He didn't want to be blamed. Especially now that his opponent was Alex, whom he hated so much. "But why did you laugh at him first when
Then, the supervisor's voice rang out. "Master, congratulations on getting your emergency task reward in the form of VR. I will explain this to you."Alex was silent as he listened carefully to the supervisor's voice."VR is Virtual Reality, which is our advanced technology to allow you to enter the system world.""What? Really? That's really fun!" said Alex. His eyes lit up.The supervisor's voice sounded again. "This feature appears when you have a task related to our world.""But, today I have one chance to try this VR.""Click 'Ready' if you're willing!"The supervisor's voice could no longer be heard."Well, I am very ready if given the opportunity to try this VR feature," Alex said happily.Then, a predominantly blue panel system appeared in front of Alex. There was a large inscription displayed there.'CLICK 'READY' TO TRY OUT THE VR FEATURE!'CLICK 'READY' TO TRY OUT THE VR FEATURE!'The writing appeared flashing twice. The words 'READY' appeared on the right, and on the lef
After Alex left Daniel's room, he went back to work cleaning the next place in the office. Danie just apologized for his treatment earlier to Alex. Of course Alex forgave him. Meanwhile, John had returned from the company hospital, and now he was back in his office. When he saw Alex cleaning the glass, John just looked at her sharply. He was in a bad mood, so he didn't want to disturb Alex. Alex saw John staring at him sharply. At first glance Alex smiled victoriously. And that made John even more resentful of Alex. After 10 hours of working in the office, Alex returned home to his luxurious house. He entered the house and saw Jasmine sitting casually on the sofa. She was acting like she owned the house. "Where is my daughter?" Alex asked Jasmine with a flat expression on his face. Jasmine looked at Alex. She continued to sit on the sofa with her legs stretched out. "Uh, my husband is home." Jasmine said flirtatiously. "I'm not your husband anymore!" Alex said firmly. "Hehe...I
As Alex drove his car, he saw an old man in shabby clothes pushing a garbage cart. The old man seemed to be struggling, the heat of the sun making his sweat look dripping. Alex stopped the car at the side of the road, and he got out of the car to approach the old man."Hi, Sir. Can I help you?" Alex asked the old man."Ahh, what can you do for me, young man? Is that alright?" The old man asked back. He looked at Alex's clean appearance like a rich man."No problem. I'll help you pick up this trash," Alex said. Actually, he felt sad when he saw this old man working as a garbage collector, and then all the garbage would be recycled by him and could be sold to the garbage factory. Even though the city had garbage cleaners, there were still many poor people like this old man who worked like this."Well, that's very kind of you, young man!" the man praised. "This is what I should do as a human being. As fellow humans we must help each other," said Alex wisely. Then Alex took out his walle
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
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
'You're the best dad.You bought me dolls, and pretty houses, and princess clothes, and all the things I wanted.Anyway, Daddy is the best daddy in the world.I love you, Bianca. I want you to be happy. Mommy Lucia and you should live happily.When I'm gone, don't throw all my clothes away. You have to keep them and my dolls and things.I love you. Please don't cry when I'm gone. Dad, don't be sad and keep smiling.I love you.This letter is especially for you. I love you forever.Love from Bianca:Alexander Gates' beloved daughter.This was the 100th time Alex opened the letter and read it again for the umpteenth time.Two weeks had passed since Bianca's death, but Alex's heart was still filled with sadness.Alex just stayed at home without doing much. He couldn't think of anything, while Lucia patiently kept encouraging him.Alex looked at the letter as well as Bianca's mini version of the Iridium necklace. He now realized what Bianca had meant.Lucia arrived with hot tea, as well a
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
