System Within: Million Dollars From Today CHAPTER 14
After cleaning the lawn, hall, and then learning to wash all the clothes using the washing machine with William’s help, and ironing the clothes, Gabe was finally able to get a break. As he was exiting the house through the back door, Carrie gave him a box that had the leftover breakfast in it. It was a cream of wheat, which generally had nuts, spices, curry leaves, ghee, and more. However, in what was given to Gabe, there weren’t any nuts because they were all eaten by Carrie before she gave him the remaining food. As she gave him the box she said, “Rest until afternoon and then come at two o’clock so you can wash the dishes.” “Yes, ma’am, but…” Gabe hesitantly asked, “what about the payment? Is it daily? Or weekly?” “We’re feeding you, aren’t we?” Carrie replied, “So why are you worried about the payment? We’ll give it to you in time.” “Yes, thank you,” Gabe then went home and gave most of the food to his aunt, and she loved the taste and even remembered the last time she made th

Carrie was watching television in her room, and her mobile received a message. She checked it.Mia sent the message: Your husband is acting out of place again. How many chances should I give you? If you can’t keep him under control, just let the police take care of him. I want you to do something before I return home, or I’m going to file a complaint on him.Carrie frowned. “Tsk, this punk…”Just then, Freddy entered the room.Carrie stood and fumed at him. “Why the hell are you going after Mia, Freddy? Do you want me to tell Bart? He’ll kill you!”“Hmph,” Freddy grabbed her by the shoulders and pushed her down on the bed. “I’m sure you won’t tell Bart because you love me.” He jumped onto her and began kissing her everywhere.“Stop dodging the issue,” Carrie hissed. “I’m tired of you acting stupid.”“C’mon, Carrie,” Freddy bit her waist making her hiss again, but this time she hissed differently. “It was you who told me I should attract Mia and make her sleep with me and be obsessed w

At night. Everyone except Mia had gathered at the dining table, and Gabe was serving them food. He couldn’t help but keep glancing at the ring on Bart’s hand again and again. Bart also realized that Gabe was looking, and he loved the suffering in Gabe’s face. William was making loud sounds while eating the lamb curry. He kept sucking the contents out of the bone and even tried to shove the tip of his tongue in an attempt to fetch the matter inside the bone. Draco was playing on the mobile more than he put food in his mouth. Gabe didn’t mind serving anyone, but when Bart snapped his fingers and told him to come, he didn’t feel like listening to him. He didn’t move. “Can’t you hear my son calling?” Bertha coldly looked at Gabe. “Yes, ma’am. I momentarily got lost in thought,” Gabe said and went to Bart and put curry on his plate. Snickering, Bart said, “That’s enough. Go upstairs and tell Mia to come. She likes lamb curry, so she should eat it while it’s hot.” Gabe used that opp

Gabe came home and explained what happened to his aunt.“I don’t blame you for quitting,” Nicole rubbed his shoulder softly, “but they’re rich people. They can easily make our lives more miserable. If they hire rowdies and kick us out of this house, what will we be able to do?”Gabe deeply frowned to hear those words. “I’ll go and apologize to them.”“No,” Nicole grabbed his hand. “Don’t. I doubt an apology would stop them from thinking negatively about us. What’s done is done. Whatever may come our way, we’ll have to face it together.”Gabe didn’t know where her aunt’s confidence was coming from when she wouldn’t be able to get off the bed without his help.Unlike her, Gabe didn’t have the confidence to take on Bart, let alone his entire family.He felt so sad and pathetic… just taking a breath proved burdensome.“I’ll go and make us dinner,” Gabe said and walked out into the hall. His heart grew heavier. His childhood friends were playing card games in the hall, and they were fully

Out of the money Mia had given Gabe, he gave 100 dollars to Monroe, one of the guys he owed, thereby turning him back into his friend. Monroe owned a grocery store. Gabe used to work there in the past, but he got fired because the debtors kept coming to the store and causing a scene, and Gabe’s friend couldn’t just take it.But right now, Monroe allowed Gabe to buy things from the store. This was the least bit of mercy Monroe could show, and Gabe appreciated it.Out of the remaining 100 dollars, Gabe bought food items from onions and cucumbers to other things that wouldn’t put stress on his aunt’s body. He didn’t buy any spices or refined products, because they would negatively affect his aunt’s health.He came home and went to the rooftop to get eggs, but to his shock, both the hens and the rooster were gone. All he could see were feathers.All three of them were the ones he raised, so he instantly felt bad for them. His heart ached. “Did a hawk come by? No, if it’s a bird, only one

“I have to win this race,” as Gabe was telling himself, four guys recognized Gabe and came to him. These were his friends that played cards every night at his house.“Hey, you’re participating in this marathon? Are you crazy?” one of the guys asked.“That’s why I’m here,” Gabe said, making them laugh.“Anyway, good luck, but you better tell us what your relationship with Mia is,” another guy said, roughly patting Gabe’s shoulder twice. “She wouldn’t come to your house in the middle of night for no simple reason, right?”“T-There’s nothing going on between us,” Gabe said. “I worked in her house for a day, and she came to pay me the money. That’s all.”“Don’t stress. We’ll talk about it tomorrow night,” saying that they went to their positions, where there were more girls concentrated. These guys were in their thirties like Gabe, but they were standing next to 18 and 19 year olds, telling them their bank account balances and receiving some level of attention in return.“These guys…” see

The first place went to Brendon, who finished the race in 2:17:06. He received the prize money of 250,000 dollars in the form of a check. In addition, he also received a charity donation of 10,000 dollars to his company by an anonymous donor.The second place went to Bart Holder, who finished the race in 2:17:38. He received the prize money of 50,000 dollars.The third place received 30,000 dollars. From fourth to tenth place, everybody received 10,000 dollars.From the 11th to the 100th place, everyone received 1000 dollars. From 101st onward, everybody who finished the race received a blender worth about 50 dollars.Gabe was coming home in the dead of the night, holding a blender in his hand, as everybody who had finished the race was given this item.As for Gabe’s four friends, all four of them failed to finish it, though all of them covered close to fifteen miles.“There’s no way Bart got second place… unless he purposely lost…” Gabe thought. “He’s likely trying to get acquainted

Gabe was heading out of the house, but right outside the door, he saw a couple of bones. He immediately recognized them. They were the thigh bones of a rooster.Gabe gritted his teeth in rage. William probably left these at his doorstep to further anger him, he thought. Maybe, Bart made William do it. It didn’t matter. He hated both the father and son to the core.“How could they do this…” his hands curled into tight balls.Just then an old man came to his house with a big book in his hand.“Excuse me, sir, I came to collect the property tax, water tax, and sewage tax,” he introduced himself to Gabe. “Erwin Woods, the house is in his name, and the tax for the past three years hasn’t been paid.”“H-How much do we have to pay in total?” Gabe asked, his heart starting to pick up speed.He adjusted his glasses and took a look at the record book. “All taxes included, it’s just 6325 dollars.”Gabe’s heart exploded. “WHAT?! Why is it so much?”“It’s for three years, sir.”“I know, but… It’s

“Whoever manages to defeat that ‘worthless’ brat will get to keep the omega system.”The moment Gabriel Agnar uttered those last few words, all the nine standing members of the Jaguar squad rushed toward Gabe without a shred of hesitation.They were all elite warriors his grandfather had commanded, all intent on claiming the power that lay still dormant within Gabe."Stand down, brat," the third ranker Bennie called out, her voice layered with authority. "You cannot hope to win against us. Surrender, and you may yet find mercy."“You monsters who are ganging up on me, do you even know what mercy means?” Gabe retorted and countered Fang with a punch.Surprisingly, Gabe’s punch seemed simple but the weight it had was tremendous. Fang was pushed back.But at the same time Stark kicked Gabe’s face.Once again, Stark expected Gabe to be sent flying, but Gabe took the attack without even moving an inch.And it was Stark who frowned in response.Zephyr raised his hand, stopping others from

“It’s time to return,” Gabriel Agnar said, and these few words changed the body language of all the squad members.In that moment, they let their guard dawn, a small figure dashed in through their ranks and attacked their patriarch Gabriel.Gabriel saw through the first feint and responded accordingly, but the second attack also turned out to be a feint just to distract him so that they could pluck the severed hand out of Gabriel’s hand.And they managed to grab the hand, but no amount of pulling was enough to get the severed hand out of the old man’s grip.Everyone was startled after seeing the young kid who gave off an ethereal energy, which they could sense.This young kid was none other than Ulf.“What do you think you’re doing, kid?” Gabriel asked him.“Ha-ha, good afternoon,” Ulf replied awkwardly, “or is it evening now?” He grew triple in size and clenched his fists. “Omega Arts Secret Move…” He threw in a straight punch at Gabriel’s chest. “Final Fist!”Gabriel took the attack

At Russell’s estate.Zephyr, the head of the Jaguar Squad, struck Gabe’s chest with his palm. A shockwave burst through his chest and ripped the back of Gabe’s shirt in the shape of Zephyr's palm.Gabe coughed out a lot of blood, and his eyes nearly turned white. He was about to fall back.Zephyr caught Gabe’s throat and squeezed it. “If I kill you, then the Alpha System will be ours.”“Gabe!” Mia ran toward him. “No!”“Where do you think you’re running?” Pixie, the number five, blurted. Her green hair extended forth like tree vines and sought to capture Mia.Mia moved swiftly and dodged a few vines, but the hair grew branches like trees, and they were sharp enough to pierce through Mia’s body.Her torso and limbs were riddled with many thin holes.She bled from the nose and mouth and couldn’t move at all. She felt completely frozen.Pixie pulled the hair out and retracted them. Mia fell to her knees.Seeing all this, Gabe’s blood thrummed beneath his skin. His heart pounded with the c

CHAPTER 490
In ancient times, serpents had wings and feet, and they were called by many names. One of those kinds were also called Dragons.So, dragons were indeed serpents with wings and legs. Even in the modern day, dragons were worshiped in some places. Some martial arts were derived from dragons, too.However, Alleria’s martial arts were not related to dragons but of a different serpent kind, whose existence had been erased from history..When Alleria was young, she spent her time in the woods, and the most difficult enemies she faced were the monstrous serpents that lived in that forest. This made her wonder just how much stronger would the serpents be if they had legs, too, as they did in the past.This led Alleria to search through her clan’s library and find the ancient serpent art books. And she picked one that she believed would be the most challenging.And thanks to her collective efforts, she managed to become the head of one of the Eight Enigma Squads, the Serpent Squad.The Ancient S

Alleria was sent flying through multiple walls, and she ended up crashing into the tables of the precious customers.“That hurts…” Alleria’s cheek bruised, and she bled from a corner of her mouth.“W-Who are you?” The customers were all shocked because this woman was wearing armor underneath her cloak, and there was even a short sword at her waist. “Are you a cosplayer?”“Who was that little girl?” Alleria got back up, looking quite irritated because her cloak was dirtied by the food, so she had to remove it. She looked sturdy despite her age, and she was nearly six feet tall. Many men in that hall hadn’t seen such a well-built woman with attractive looks like that before. “Call herself as my grandmother,” she cracked her neck, releasing the gas bubbles from the joints in her spine, “let’s see if you’ve really got what it takes to utter such words.”She rushed into the bathroom, but to her surprise, Systa and Nicole were gone.“What?” Alleria frowned. “I didn’t see them leave.

Nicole was getting out of the taxi, but Systa held her hand and stopped her. “I’m not feeling the urgency anymore. Can we go somewhere else now?”Nicole couldn’t make sense of Systa’s words. The little girl was struggling until seconds ago, and she’s fine now? Something didn’t feel right. Whether Systa was playing games or not, Nicole didn’t want to take the risk. “I’m taking you to the toilet room once.”“Ugh,” Systa hissed at her. “Listen to me.”Nicole was startled. “Did you just hiss at me? And why are you gritting your teeth?”“Because you don’t understand the trouble that you’re in!” Systa blurted. “Driver, turn the car around and get going.”The driver, however, looked at her with a silly expression as if Systa was not the one who’s going to pay him for the ride.Systa didn’t like that the driver was treating her as a little girl. She wished she could show her powers to him, but because of Nicole, she had to hold herself back.“Can you wait here for half an hour for us?” Nicole

Nicole finished her work in the hotel and walked out with Systa who was in the form of a little girl now.“Why do you look like that?” Nicole asked her.“Look like what?” Systa asked her back.“Look like you’re weighing life's burdens on your shoulders?” Nicole said.“I was just thinking about something,” Systa replied.Nicole picked her up onto her waist.“W-What are you doing?” Systa quickly said, her cheeks flushing. “This is embarrassing. Put me down.”“Get used to it,” Nicole pinched Systa’s cheeks. “You know, I watched Gabe grow, but I missed watching a girl grow. I didn’t have a daughter, you see. So, I feel like keeping you with me for as long as possible.”“S-Stop pulling my cheeks!” Systa found it annoying because her skin was not perfectly authentic human-standard.“Stop acting like that,” Nicole stopped pulling the cheek and gently rubbed it. “You’re a girl, so you’re going to raise kids one day. You shouldn’t get angry easily. Your worth will be decided by how good you ca

In Sciocidad, also known as the phantom city which floated through the sky also known as the lower heaven.At the border, Russell and Jessica were talking with a mature lady whose name they didn’t even know. All he knew was that she was the librarian of the clan that lived in this city.“My goal is to stop another world war from happening,” Russell told her. “If a war breaks out again, then the world really is going to end.”“Silly young man,” the lady named Uzza smiled, “the third world you were worrying about has long started and is still ongoing.”“W-What?” Russell was startled.“Food, air, water, and even people’s very blood has been polluted for decades now and it’s still happening today,” Uzza said. “We see a lot of chemicals being sprayed in the air through special jets. There are nanoparticles, graphene, and even parasites in those chemicals, which will mix with water, food, and can even enter people’s bodies through their skin.

“It’s one thing that James lost, but for Atarah to lose to this brat…” The number one ranker of the Jaguar Squad, Stark, spoke. “This is quite shameful.”“Indeed,” Fang, the second ranker, opined. “I feel a little embarrassed since I’ve trained James for over a month now. For him to lose without even taking an opponent’s limb is quite disappointing. I hope he’s not dead.”“James is the last ranker, the number 10 of the squad,” the zeroth ranker and the head of the Jaguar Squad, Zephyr, replied. He had a sharp mustache and was cleanly shaven. “He’s the weakest, but Atarah is the ranked fourth in the squad, and she let her younger comrade lose. So, she failed both as a teammate and as an individual fighter. She needs to be punished for her mistakes later. But for now…” He glanced at the number five ranker, who was a green-headed female, Pixie.Pixie stepped forth and treated Atarah’s injury with her vivre. It was as though she was conducting surgery with her vivre, using it as needles to
