Maria's once pretty face twisted into a mask of irritation, her voice dripping with incredulity, "Do you want to be dead?"

"No, I want to be loved by you," I responded spontaneously, my expression serious.

"Listen, kid," Maria's gaze pierced through me, her disappointment palpable, "I don't love you."

"It's okay. As long as I love you, that's enough," I replied, my smile trying to bridge the chasm between us.

Maria's eyebrows knitted together, a storm of anger and irritation brewing in her eyes. "I don't want to be loved by anyone whose bank account is less than $100 million. Now, go away."

I stepped aside, watching Maria return to her work, taking note of the people in our group. As the last person in our group reported and left, leaving her standing alone, I seized the moment. With a determined stride, I approached her again and presented my smartphone.

"What?" she snapped, her irritation flaring anew at my persistence.

"That's my bank account," I said, a hint of pride in my voice,

    As I reached out to grasp his hair once more to hit it on the table, an older man suddenly came in, his suit crisp and demeanor authoritative, signaling his position as the division's leader. He approached with a veneer of politeness. "Is there anything I can assist you with?""Finally," I exclaimed, my voice laced with desperation. "Sir, your distinguished appearance speaks volumes. You must be in charge here. Could you spare me a minute to demonstrate how things should be done here, without resorting to insults?"“Leader, it is…”Before the male staff member could interject. The leader silenced him with a firm "Shut up," then turned to me with an air of readiness. "Of course, what do you need?"Eagerly, I spread out the plans for the sixth and seventh floors. "I wish to rent the club activities room on these floors, all of them, for 10 years. Could you calculate the total cost so I can make the payment immediately?"The leader, initially taken aback by the bold request, quickly rega

    Detective Keaton looked at me, his eyes weary and filled with resignation. He sighed dejectedly, “Or else... I will beg to take a loan from you…”I couldn’t help but laugh, the sound echoing in the stale air, “Hahahah…” He was really like the Keaton I knew in the past. “Has the price of $100,000 for each superhuman you send to the laboratory not been enough for you?”His expression shifted to one of shock, “How do you know that too?” He paused, confusion etching his features. “And it's $25,000, not $100,000.”“It is $100,000; you should check your broker’s son's bank account. He lied to you,” I countered, my voice steady as I took out my smartphone. I navigated through my banking app and, after confirming the transaction, slid it back into my pocket. “I have transferred $5 million to your account.”“Where did you send it?” Keaton asked, his brow furrowed in confusion. His smartphone buzzed with a notification; he hastily took it out, his eyes widening in disbelief at the sight of $5 m

    Keaton was waiting outside the storage room, his breath visible in the cold air, surrounded by his police colleagues. One of them, a nervous-looking man, quickly asked, “Keaton, are you sure we can trust this information? Don't you think it's safer to send them to the lab?”Keaton, his face stoic yet confident, replied, “Don’t worry, they've already sent us $5 million. They won’t lie to us.” His words were cut short as his smartphone suddenly rang with a sharp, piercing tone. “Yes?” he answered, his voice firm.The man on the other end of the line responded tersely, “Now you can enter the storage building with your team.” Keaton motioned to his colleagues, urgency in his stride, as they approached the storage area. They opened the door with the password, the metal creaking loudly, to find the five prisoners still in handcuffed, their eyes wide with fear, yet still alive.“Check their hand symbols,” the voice on the phone commanded. Keaton, examining their hands closely, found them cle

    Sakura was perched uncomfortably on the edge of a truck seat, rumbling from the survivors' camp toward Virginia City. She shared the space with other ability users destined for an academy and some women eager to explore job opportunities at a place called Eden Guild.

What if this new life forced her into slavery?The harsh reality of a post-apocalyptic world left her with little choice. Sakura's parents were gone, swallowed by the chaos, leaving her adrift in survivor camps where desperation and lawlessness reigned.

    My name is John Doe, a man fueled by dreams yet tethered to lethargy. Immersed in a world of games, manga, manhua, and meganovels, I harbored a disdain for training, schooling, and work. Cloistered in my room, I squandered my parents' provisions, yearning for a miraculous transmigration to another realm like in story.Yet, the world didn't operate like that; it often moved in the opposite direction of what we wanted.One fateful day, while glued to the news, I witnessed the emergence of portals in various cities and the beast ran amok. The broadcasts were censored, but the uncensored horrors flooded the internet. Monstrous beasts preyed on humans, their ferocity chilling to the bone.I was born and raised in the tranquil Virginia City, where anger seldom brewed, and thankfully, no gates materialized. I thanked God for the peace, little knowing my peculiar wish was about to materialize in an unwelcome manner.That night, a mysterious symbol etched itself onto my right hand as I was mas

    “I don’t think you can be my assistant,” I said to Sakura, fully aware of her reputation. She was the top result from the Eden Guild, known for her beauty, perfect physique, and impeccable attitude. Her intelligence was undeniable, shining through her ambition to secure me as her master.“Why?” Sakura stood in front of me, her eyes wide with a pleading intensity.“You have everything needed to be my private aide, but I doubt your heart is strong enough to follow my commands without question. I don’t want to justify my actions to you. I need a perfect ‘yes’ woman. Can you be that?” I studied her, my gaze sharp. “Can you say 'yes' without questioning, even if I do immoral things?”I could see the conflict brewing in her eyes, her resolve wavering. “I don’t force you,” I sighed, turning to walk away.“I will do everything you say without questioning it,” she declared.I sighed at her naivety. “Come, let's sit in the garden chairs,” I suggested as I sat down, patting the chair beside me.

    After finishing playing with the three girls who were still sleeping on the bed, I asked Sakura to help me put back on my clothes. She did it without any protest. "Grab my hand," I said. Sakura hesitantly took my hand, and we teleported to a plaza with a gate leading to another planet. "This is a gate," I explained to Sakura who looked at it for the first time in awe. "Sometimes, beasts come through this gate to our planet."I walked to the edge of a large pit, peering down at some beasts on the lowlands. With a snap of my fingers, I stored them in the Space storage. “Can you imagine how many gates have opened in this world?” I asked.Sakura shook her head."There are about 1000 now in the whole world, but by the end of the year, it will slowly increase. This Earth will be destroyed, as more and more planets connect to us," I declared, the weight of our grim future heavy in the air. "This is the real Armageddon, the end of time, and people will die if they don't fight."I gazed deeply

    The burly man laughed, his voice booming like thunder. "Keep barking, weak dog," he taunted, his eyes gleaming with malice. "As this wolf will take care of you." He moved swiftly, his fist connecting with my stomach, sending sharp pain radiating through my body. I crumpled to the ground, gasping for air."Is this how the famous Heavenly Guild invites people?" I asked, struggling to stand, my voice laced with sarcasm and defiance."I invited you politely, but you made it hard for yourself," he replied arrogantly, his towering figure casting a shadow over me."Can weak people speak their minds?" I challenged, my voice weak yet defiant. "I don’t want to go where you're asking me to."The Vice President walked closer, his presence menacing. "In this new world, the weak have no right to speak," he sneered, his face contorted in disdain.In a moment of rebellion, I spat in his face. "I am weak, and yet I say to you, fuck off!" My words were a spark in the tense air.The vice leader's face t

    I was a bit surprised. "Isn't down there a place where the dead rest, and there is nothing but cold and barren land?" "At first, it was a place full of beauty, but those who did not like it destroyed everything in it, making it cold and barren. I hope you can help those suffering down there find kindness and peace. In truth, you can build a place far more beautiful than the palace of the gods because hell was initially a very beautiful place for those in need." "I accept it wherever You send me." *** In a temple where knowledge was usually shared, several humans who were teachers of various schools gathered to discuss important matters about knowledge. "Hey," said one human to another, "Why did the gods stop sharing their knowledge with us?" "Haven't you heard that the King of the gods, or God Indra, has been replaced?" "Really?" "God Indra is now angry after finding out that knowledge was given to humans by the previous Indra," said another human. "He stopped all knowledge fro

    After 1,000 years had passed, the three worlds experienced their golden age. There was no poverty or hunger throughout the three worlds. Everything was going very well. All dimensions entered a golden age because kindness became the most important thing in the three realms. Humans, gods, ashuras, and all beings were directed to continue giving kindness to all creatures. During my reign, everyone competed to do good so that there was no poverty, hunger, or lack. During that time, those who came to me, whether gods, ashuras, or humans, would get what they asked for. I did this as my way of doing good to all beings.One day, a dwarf-bodied brahmin came to my palace. The brahmin, called Vamana, had a body that was only waist-high to an ordinary human. He wore white clothes that wrapped loosely around his small body. However, considering that he was a human and came from the third dimension, being able to ascend to the twelfth dimension where the gods' palace was located was alr

    "I don't remember that part," I said. "Because each life makes you forget. I just want to say, if you give the gods' knowledge to humans, won't the gods lose their power? Haven't you humiliated them all? Your strength has made you not understand the feelings of the weaker gods." "Guru, if what you say is true, is my current strength because I was a strong spirit in the past?" He looked at me and weakly shook his head. "No, all spirits start from the same place." "Then why did I become strong?" "You had no fear, and your enjoyment of playing made you keep striving for something greater without caring for your own life." Brihaspati continued, "However, what placed you as King Indra is something else." "What is that?" "A sense of responsibility to protect the weak and make life better for all beings." Brihaspati sighed. "Those who have that sincerity will always be carried by karma and the will of God to re

    "Boss, you've become weak," said Raindo, one of the Ashura generals, approaching me. He looked enormous compared to my now smaller form. "You keep spending time in that school and library. You never fight anymore. You're going to become weak, and the previous Indra will soon return to reclaim his throne." "You just don't understand, my brother," I said, still reading a book. "Right now, I am ten times stronger than I was before." "I don't believe it," said Raindo, one of the strongest generals. "Let's test it." "Of course," I said, seemingly unconcerned. "Get ready." "I'm always ready," he replied. As soon as he said that, a bolt of lightning shot down from the sky, striking his body. He was thrown far, crashing into the palace walls and severely injured. "What happened?" he asked, looking confused and trying to stand up. He didn't know what had hit him. "I just attacked you. I gained the power

    “Oh,” I shouted. “That's easy.” Suddenly, I felt very smart. “I have plenty of wealth in the treasury.” Quickly, I ordered several Ashura to bring as much treasure as possible from Indra's vault and distribute it to all the Ashura. All the Ashura were happy. “Look, Guru, haven't I done a good deed? I shared my wealth with them.” I felt pleased. “Fool!” he shouted. “You haven't done a good deed at all. You should have given the wealth to those in need.” I fell silent. Quickly, I ordered all the Ashura to return the treasures they had received. The Ashura didn't need wealth; if there was one thing they needed, it was weapons. They all grumbled, and I quickly asked, “Do you want food and drink or wealth?” “Food!!!!” “Drink!!” None wanted wealth. Suddenly, it dawned on me. Who needs wealth? The Ashura don't need wealth, the gods already have plenty of wealth. The only poor creatures needing wealth are humans

    “Prepare all the food and drinks. All the gods must order their servants to bring all the food from their palaces. Call the apsaras, the heavenly maidens, and beautiful dancers. Call the singers and musicians. We will have a party.” So, a grand feast was held for days in the courtyard of Indra's palace. Music, dancing, and food never stopped. After that, the Ashura were left drunk in the palace courtyard. The gods had returned to their respective duties. I moved around to see the entire palace, and suddenly, an old man appeared before me. “What have you done to this place?” the old man asked, looking at the palace's new weapon-laden decor. “Who are you?” I asked, confused. This old man wore the simple clothes of a Brahmana, a single piece of cloth. The Brahmana do not fight, so we never touch them. If they get angry, we could get the worst curses of our lives. But if they are pleased, they could grant us many new and exciting powers. We prefer to appease them and wait for the

    “Bargu,” I called one of my generals.He immediately looked at me with an extremely distressed face. “Don't choose me, king.”“Randu?”A small giant appeared and shook his head. “Don't torture me, king. We want to have fun. We won this battle.”None of them wanted to accept the position.“The position of God Vayu is an honorable one!” God Vayu shouted at them all. “Full of dedication, responsibility, serving many people, following the harmony of nature... blah... blah... blah...” He lectured for another half hour, ending again by saying to me, “Give this position to an honorable person! Not to someone who is half-hearted and does not understand the importance of this role.”I scratched my head. We Ashura only understood honor through battle. We also didn't want to be burdened by many rules and duties. We just wanted to have fun.I looked again at the ugly faces of the Ashura, fearing I might force them to take on the role.“Alright, God Vayu. No one wants your position. Stay in your p

    I walked through the vast and majestic courtyard of God Indra's palace. Not a shadow in sight.Stepping onto the stone steps, I entered his palace and kept shouting his name.“INDRA! Show your cowardly face!”Inside his palace, I saw lotus ponds lining the path to the inner parts of the palace.“INDRA, THE COWARD! Are you hiding in your mother's embrace? Are you crying? Your subordinate gods are being tortured. They're screaming for their king, where are you hiding, coward?” I shouted as loudly as possible.Who doesn't know that Indra is famous for his cowardice and cunning? Every time he lost a battle against the Ashura, he would run into his mother's embrace. Aditi, the mother of the gods, and cry, persuading her to find a way to put him back on the throne. This has happened repeatedly.I smelled the scent of lotus and other fragrances in Indra's palace. “Ptooey... INDRA! Are you wearing women's clothes? Your palace smells like a woman! Show your face if you're a man.”I shouted for

    We Ashura people generally only wear pants. Always bare-chested, and if we wear anything, it must be armor for war. Not clothes like those worn by women. Beautiful, neat, and shining.“Ptooey!” I spat.Both camps flew closer with terrifying speed. Weapons were directed at each other. Just seconds before both sides would collide, yet neither slowed down. Each kept increasing their flying speed and strengthening their weapons in hand.A war general from the gods' camp shot ahead of the other gods towards me. Perhaps the god of war, Ares.“Die!” he shouted.“Good!” I said, smiling broadly. I shot to the front, and we faced each other at high speed.As we met, he thrust a shining spear at me like lightning trying to pierce my chest. I dodged quickly, and my large fist struck the front of his body protected by a metal shield. My full strength flowed, and the blow landed with a horrifying sound. Combined with my initial flying speed, God Ares was instantly thrown to the edge of the earth li
