With Ethan at the helm, he replied with conviction. “That woman is related to Rani and Leilani.”“Why do you say so?”“It's just a gut feeling.”“But didn't she die?”“Maybe she didn't. I mean, she was an Apostle who managed to escape the GK Council for a long time. What's the likelihood that she didn't do something to herself so they won't be able to find her?”“You have a point.”Pursing his lips, Ethan decided to test something out first.He called up the system tab. “Reach out to the God of Information.”[Reaching out… the God of Information has arrived]“Did your previous Apostle die?”[The God of Information is silent]“Damn it, answer the question!”[He says that he doesn't know. She forcibly ended her contract with him and even found a way to block his gaze to ensure he wouldn't find her]“Why would she do that?”[He has no idea. It happened too quickly for him to figure out]“I see.” Ethan immediately began to feel like there was something fishy going on.Regardless, he had t
Ethan froze as he hadn't considered it but being asked such a question now, an answer quickly formed.“Then I will accept my fate and return to the hotel. But at least… let me try.” Aurora nodded. “Since you saved me… I have no reason to refuse your request. But then, how do you plan to help me regain my memories?”“I have my ways.” Ethan confidently replied.Looking down at her cup of cocoa, Aurora replied. “Fine then, I'll cooperate.”“Thank you.” Relieved that she accepted, Ethan didn't hesitate to activate [LifeGiver].Moving to sit beside Aurora, he asked for permission to touch her head which she gave after which he placed his hand on her temple and got to work.Aurora’s expression shifted as the deepest recesses of her mind were healed from the trauma she'd experienced due to the accident.However, it allowed her to figure out so many things that had been unclear to her before now.Gasping, she pulled away from Ethan's palm with the latter growing worried. “Is everything okay?
The warm sun beamed down on Ethan's face, bringing a smile to his lips as he made his way toward the grand estate of the Williams family. Today was a special day for him as not only had he finally been released from prison, having served his time for a crime he didn't commit, but it also happened to be the anniversary of his marriage to Lucia Williams, the woman he loved with all his heart.Ethan thought it fated that it would happen like this which was why despite not having anything, he still got something for Lucia to celebrate the occasion.It had been 3 years since he last saw her with Lucia not bothering to come see him even once since he was forced to take the fall for her father who had been involved in a fraud case that would have seen him spend life behind bars.All because of his love for his wife and unwillingness to see her dad suffer, Ethan had taken the fall and would have spent life behind bars if not that he was let out early on good behavior. He was curious to kno
Ethan stood rooted in place, unable to accept that it was the same woman he loved who was standing before him.His lips quivering, he remarked. “Lucia, I sacrificed everything for your sake. I gave away everything to save your father yet…”“Oh please, save the melodramatics. Do you think I care?... Look, Jason is the new top gamer for Mega Sports and he just recently signed a 3-year deal worth millions of dollars. He is about to become the number one gamer in the country, so you don't expect me to leave him for a pauper like you, right?” Her words were like knives as they lacerated Ethan's heart repeatedly, leaving him hurting badly.“How can you say that?”“Ugh, Lucia, can you be fast?... I've got a hard and I need to get it soft.” Jason remarked at that moment, adding salt to Ethan's numerous wounds.“Give me a minute darling, I'm trying to talk some sense into this fool,” Lucia replied coquettishly before shifting her attention back to Ethan. “Look, let's not waste too much time o
Ethan woke up to find himself in a forest, surprised at how he managed to survive getting shot at point-blank range.Before he could figure anything out, a blue screen appeared before him.[Welcome back, Host, your audience awaits, would you like to begin your first stream now?]Ethan blinked in confusion as he stared at the system interface.He'd thought it was a dream but to think that he had awakened a system like those protagonists in fantasy novels!It was too surreal that he laughed out loud like a maniac, excited that life hadn't forsaken him and had instead given him a chance to take back what was stolen from him.Taking a deep breath, he summoned up his character sheet.[Name: Ethan Jones // Level= 1 (0/100) // Skill: Nil][Inventory: Unavailable // Shop: Unavailable (Unlocked at Level 10)][Mission: Open a channel and announce yourself to the world][Remaining time left to mission: 5:00][Reward: 1000 coins, 50 EXP, Fame +10, One Random Skill][Failure to complete the task i
The guards immediately rushed toward the gates upon realizing who was honking, their arrogant demeanor with Ethan completely gone.Ethan considered continuing on his way inside but decided to wait, watching and the guards did their work with utmost respect and diligence.A convoy populated with limited edition jeeps drove in and parked a few meters away from Ethan before suited men armed with guns and wearing shades jumped down and lined up beside the car at the center of the convoy.A second later the door was opened by one of the suited men, revealing an incredibly beautiful woman wearing a beautiful red gown and minimal makeup.She looked like a fairy as she got down and glanced around.The guards immediately rushed to greet her. “We pay homage to the daughter of the Goldberg family.”The woman didn't respond as her eyes landed on Ethan, scrutinizing the man as he did the same to her.Noticing that she hadn't replied, the guards followed her gaze before cursing inwardly as they gla
Ethan grinned sheepishly as he stared at his account balance.In all his years as a gamer, he'd never made so much money in a single day yet here he was making it without breaking a sweat.It felt too good to be true but he had confirmed it was real so he remarked.“Can I transfer my money to another bank?”[Of course!... Would host like a list of banks which could serve as storehouses for his finances?]“Keep it in my treasury.”[Unfortunately, the Host hasn't unlocked this feature yet. Would the host like to pay for it?]“How much?”[100 coins]Ethan nearly fell over as he stared at the screen. 100 coins?... Was this system trying to rip him off or something?Gritting his teeth, he ultimately replied. “Fine then, exchange the money for coins and open the feature.”[Carrying out the transaction now][Transaction successful, treasury successfully unlocked][Current account balance: $54,000,000]Nodding in satisfaction, Ethan inquired. “What do I need to do to get exp?”As a gamer, he
Caroline's colleagues waited in anticipation as they murmured amongst themselves.“Just wait, you'll see he'll try to run away now.”“Hmmph, though that Caroline is just too foolish, we aren't, let's see how she would still be considered better than us for falling for such a petty scammer.”However, contrary to their expectations, Ethan waited until Caroline returned with the Card reader.Thinking inwardly, he communicated with the system. 'I need a Card.’[What type would the host like?]'Which ones are available?’[Black Card, Blackgold Card, Silver Card, and Gold Card. According to your account balance, you can only get a Black Card]'Then what was the need to ask me what type I want?’[...]'Oh gosh, just give me a Black Card.’[Right away]Just then, Caroline called his attention. “Uhmm sir, I've brought the card reader. Your card please?” Though she was trying to act calm, she was somewhat nervous, after all, she'd heard her colleagues and was worried that Ethan was indeed a sc
