System Within: Million Dollars From Today CHAPTER 170
The big, fatty crocodile came diving like a king at a great speed with no fear whatsoever. It probably killed at least a human or two in the past. Now, it wanted more.Even though the crocodile made little to no sound, Gabe sensed a thick trace of presence in his mind. Not only that, but the faint low growl of the crocodile also somehow rang in his mind. This happened before even Systa alerted him. He didn’t know that it was actually a crocodile until Systa warned him.[A crocodile is coming from two o’clock! It’s a rather big one.] Systa yelled in haste. [Get to the surface! Now!]All the concentration Gabe had went ‘poof.’Not only did he open his eyes and mouth, he began to rush to the surface in a hurry. Just as he reached the surface, the crocodile also reached him. It was so big that Gabe could see its head coming out of the waters just at the last second. He didn’t need Systa to tell him what to do. When death came calling in the form of a dreadful crocodile, his body automatic

Gabe refused to go back into the pond because he was already utterly exhausted after the fight with the Lord of the Pond. He could easily recover his stamina in fifteen minutes or so, but still, he realized how powerless he felt underwater against the crocodile. So, he didn’t want to recklessly enter the pond.Even though Systa told him that this crocodile was an exception and that all the crocodiles he’d encounter from now on would probably not even be half as big as the Lord of the Pond, Gabe still wasn’t inclined to swim in the pond, at least not today.Nevertheless, Gabe listened to Systa and called the UTS staff and told them about the crocodile. They came in about thirty minutes and then sealed the crocodile’s mouth and limbs and tail so it wouldn’t be able to move after getting up.Gabe was paid 120,000 dollars for the crocodile, with the added condition that he would get ten kilos worth of meat after the crocodile was killed. He was also promised that the meat would be deliver

“The world can be a cruel place…” Bjorn Hemsey was having dinner at Tuna Waves, and the newly appointed manager was personally talking to him so that everything would go perfectly without any problem. “I feel sorry you, Mr. Slate. I too received a divorce letter when I was near death with a sickness many years ago. My wife found another man and left my children to a dying man like me. She didn’t care about my wealth, but the fact that she also didn’t care about ‘our’ kids… I wasn’t able to forget that.”“Is that why you haven’t married even though it’s been more than twenty years since you divorced, sir?” the manager, Stuart Slate, a short but handsome-looking fellow, respectfully spoke. Despite his young appearance he was nearing fifty years of age.Bjorn faintly smiled because of Stuart’s openness as well as courage to speak in such a manner to someone he only met today. “So you know about me better than I thought.”“Who wouldn’t know about the Hemsey family?” Stuart replied with c

Just as Bjorn was thinking of leaving after paying the bill, he had seen a face that he somehow felt familiar. It was a young man who ended up sitting not far from his table. “Is he who I think he is?” Bjorn wondered and patiently waited.A few minutes later.Nicole came to meet this young man and sat at his table. Seeing her, Bjorn was pleasantly surprised. He couldn’t believe how young she looked. It was as if she hadn’t aged a bit in the last twenty years. Bjorn’s mouth stayed open in shock. Was it really Nicole, or did she have a daughter who grew into looking just like her mother? All sorts of crazy thoughts made the old man’s dance.“Crocodile meat?” Nicole was startled. “You want me to give this to the chairman? Isn’t he your friend? Why don’t you give it to him directly?”“I don’t want to,” that’s all Gabe said.“Are you worried that he might think you’re trying to get close with him?” Nicole asked.“I don’t really care what he thinks about me, but he’s given you the job,” Gab

“S-Since when did you know?” Bjorn intently looked at Gabe, awaiting an answer.“For a long time,” Gabe casually said. “After work, you would walk a few blocks and then take the same taxi every night. You also come to your store in the same taxi every morning. I saw the taxi driver drinking every afternoon, so something felt strange. I asked the driver when he was drunk, and he told me that you actually lived in a very big building, and that you still didn’t pay the driver graciously. He cursed you a lot.”“O-Oh…” Bjorn still looked a bit speechless. “I thought nobody figured it out, but I guess I was seen through. Does this mean that your aunt also knows about me?”Gabe’s expression suddenly turned cold. “MY AUNT?”“D-Don’t get me wrong. She used to work in my store, so I was wondering if…” Bjorn didn’t know how to web his words to convince Gabe as this young man didn’t look the least bit happy that his aunt was brought into the conversation. Bjorn’s experience told him that he alrea

At Tuna Waves.Bjorn was still waiting at a table, hoping to meet Nicole at the end of her shift. Even though it was around eight in the night at the time, there were still plenty of customers, most of whom were youngsters.“The Dream Creed has really taken over the gaming market,” Bjorn muttered under his breath. “Five years back, I thought Regan Creed lost his mind when I saw him invest his own money instead of taking business loans from banks, but now I understand why he’s risked that much. His gaming company that was only worth a few hundred billion dollars now became a giant worth over 19 trillion dollars. Even the Supreme Bank associated with it has raised its market cap to 4 trillion dollars the last time I checked. A few other companies that also associated themselves with the Creed Tech company also grew into trillionaires over the past few years.” He felt like he really missed out on something big. “But why is it that the grandson of Regan still bothers to come to a restaura

The soup was still hot enough to hurt Nicole. However, she did not scream. She bore the pain even though her skin burned.“What have you done!” Stuart raised his voice.Titan stood, and he towered over Stuart. His fist was the size of Stuart’s head. “Arrogant chefs who take their customers for granted will never get far in their careers!” He didn’t even bother to answer Stuart and kept humiliating Nicole. “If you don’t even know how hot you should make the soup, you don’t deserve to be a chef. Even a beggar can cook better than you, bitch. You totally ruined my mood and wasted my time.”Nicole wasn’t even in a position to respond. The hotness of the soup was one thing, but what hurt her even more was the spices that were added in the soup. All the hotness of the spices went into her eyes and nose and burned her flesh so much. She couldn’t even see as tears formed nonstop, trying to fight the unbearable heat in her eyes.Bjorn quickly came over, and Nicole coincidentally took his help

“Don’t expect me to go easy on you bastards.” Russell folded his sleeves as he walked toward the gangsters, and all the remaining nine gangsters attacked him together. They had weapons, but none of their weapons reached this young man. He utterly decimated them and even broke some of their bones. He finished all nine of them in less than nine seconds but was still holding onto the leader of their gang by his hair. “You dare cause nuisance in my territory? Which gang do you belong to?” Even though he asked that, he saw the scorpion tattoo on the leader’s hand. “Remove those bikes and make way for the ambulance in one minute, or your entire gang won’t exist from tomorrow.”The leader of the gang had to do what was demanded from Russell. As the ambulance passed by, the driver thanked Russell.Russell looked at the leader of the scorpion gang. “If I see you or your gang members in my Dream Zone again, I’ll not be kind for a second time. Now, scram!”After the gangsters helped each other a

Gabe and Mia were falling down from miles high.Gabe’s legs were still wrapped around Mia’s waist, so their fall was rather awkward.“If we crash like this, both will get injured,” she quickly said.“I-I will do something,” Gabe resisted the urge to grab her cheeks and kiss her in midair, but he believed that this opportunity might not come again.So, he quickly went in for a kiss.Mia put her hand on his mouth. “This isn’t the time!”Just then, her eyes widened as she saw people jumping from the ship that was above them.“Shit. I think we’ve been spotted,” Mia nervously said. “We have to escape.”“Leave it to me,” Gabe smirked and then tightly hugged her.“What are you-” Before she could finish her sentence, Gabe turned into a streak of lightning and traveled through the sky in a zig-zag manner.Within seconds, he crossed tens of miles and landed on a tree top.All the twelve warriors were startled by the speed at which Gabe had traveled.Nevertheless, they used their flying boots to

At a sea port.Gabe and Mia were hiding behind tall rocks at the shore and were observing the people shoot laser bullets at the sea beasts and then bring their bodies to the shore.They harvested crystals out of their bodies, which leaked out a strange but familiar energy.“I have never seen such creepy sea monsters, and what are those weapons?” Mia was a little nervous. “There are laser weapons in this world? I thought it was just fiction.”“They don’t just rely on weapons,” Gabe pointed. “Look over there.”A muscular old man with spiky hair punched a giant serpent monster and put a massive hole in its head.Mia’s eyes swelled out of the sockets. “H-He killed that monster from just the wind pressure emitted from his fist? He’s the real monster here!”“Yeah. He’s pretty strong,” Gabe opined. “I’m not sure if we can beat him even if we fight him together.”“But if we want to enter Syslon, we have to board their ship,” Mia said. “That’s what Ulmer said.”“I know, but can we sneak into h

Gabriel Agnar stopped by a motel.Systa looked a bit dull.“Bring her tea,” Gabriel looked at Alleria who had a bandage wrapped around her head.Alleria frowned but didn’t complain.“To think this little girl is really the Alpha System,” Alleria was still finding it hard to believe. “But, Lord, just so you know, she didn’t beat me. She created a clone of hers and tricked me into fighting the clone.”“You still let her take the woman away, didn’t you?” Gabriel calmly said. “It was your loss. Doesn’t matter how it comes.”“Ugh…” Alleria couldn’t talk after that.She went to the motel owner and asked, “Give us some tea.”“We don’t sell tea here.”Alleria hit the thick wooden bench with her palm and left an imprint there.“I-I’ll get the tea ready in ten minutes,” the motel owner nervously said.“I’ll give you five minutes.”“I-It’s impossible to get it done in five minutes, ma’am.”“Go,” she coldly growled, and he ran to the neighboring convenience store to buy tea bags and milk.Meanwhi

Gabriel grew much angrier after Gabe and Mia disappeared right before his eyes.He put more power into his fist and threw it at Ulmer who was under such pressure he was not able to move.A streak of red lightning flew into the scene and wrapped itself around Gabriel’s fist and stopped his fist in its tracks.“Mm?” Gabriel and Ulmer both looked to their side, where a red-haired woman was standing atop a nearly uprooted tree.She was giving off a ridiculous amount of energy.She looked like she was the embodiment of a million thunderbolts. She looked almost ethereal.“A wolfe clan’s girl?” Gabriel uttered.“The wolfe clan?” Ulmer seemed surprised. This was also his first time directly coming into contact with a person from the wolfe clan since he became the Urban God. “The strongest clan in the world… You came at the right time. Let’s together beat this old man up.”“Hmph,” the red-haired lady descended from the tree almost in a floating manner. “I didn’t come here to take sides. Both o

Both Mia and Gabe were being pressured to hug the ground. Some kind of invisible force as heavy as many mountains was crushing them, making it feel as if their bones would turn to powder under pressure.Gabe gnashed his teeth and tried his best to resist. He was only able to barely move one of his fingers, though.This can’t be real.He thought he had become strong, strong enough to at least stand his ground at those who are at the top of the world.Even though Systa wasn’t with him right now, and even though he wasn’t at his full strength, how could he be toyed like this?How could he not be able to resist the head of the Agnar clan even a little?How can there be such a huge power difference?As he gave it his all to just try and get back, Willow didn’t wait for him.She went for the kill.“I’ll break your wife’s skull right before your eyes, boy!” She axed her foot down at Mia’s head.Mia wanted to move away, but she couldn’t, and she looked more frustrated than afraid that she was

Gabe’s attack kept all the four squad leaders at bay as the electricity that washed through their bodies did not leave to the ground.Instead, it stayed in their bodies, trying to cook them alive.They had to resist the lightning energy with their ethereal energies.At the same time, Mia was able to push Willow back, though her leg suffered a deep cut in the process.Half of her bone was also cut, but she was healing at a fast pace.Regardless, Mia wasn’t worried about these opponents right now because the lightning energy of Gabe was also filling her body.However, it did not hurt her.But it made her feel stronger, and she began to feel Gabe’s presence all the more. Not just his presence, but all the things he had done in the past were popping in her mind.So many new memories poured into her mind.From the memories of his childhood to recent incidents, all the strong memories of his life played in her mind like a fast-moving dream.Some of these memories really squeezed her soul.S

“This is the end, youngling,” Willow turned into ten thousand different clones which looked like a giant swarm of illusion moving toward Gabe. “Phantom Dance!”All the figures of Willow attacked him in different styles all at once.It looked like Gabe’s entire body was burst to pieces.“It’s over already?” Fang snickered. “Heh, who gets to keep the omega system now?”“It’s not over,” Stark frowned. “Didn’t you see that flash of light?”“What flash?” Fang looked at Stark. “Did you see something that I didn’t?”Zephyr arrived where they were. “He used his lightning ability to move fast… so fast that my eyes also barely followed it.”“How the hell did he move that fast all of a sudden?” Fang frowned. “Where is he now?”Willow put her sword on her shoulder and looked down at the park miles below, a corner of her lips slightly curling up as she saw Gabe standing behind Mia now.“He released a burst of lightning at the last second. I thought he was defending himself, but he used it to pull

Gabe could feel what happened to Mia, that she was sent flying down to the earth.He wanted to go and help her, but Stark and Fang kept him occupied.The narrow and precise attacks of Stark constantly targeting Gabe’s head were messing with his sense of distance.Fang also stayed closed and made sure to mess with Gabe’s timing by throwing attacks that unpredictably supported Stark.Clearly, they were seasoned fighters who didn’t put a single foot wrong.Even Gabe, who wasn’t much of an experienced fighter, could tell that these two had fought each other and together many times before.Otherwise, such perfect coordination might not be possible.“If I can’t overpower them with technique, I have to do it through other means…” Gabe leaked electricity into the cloud, which reflected it back at Stark and Fang, forcing them to fend off from these sudden attacks.“He’s able to use not just the ground but also the clouds to his advantage,” Fang harrumphed. “How annoying.

More than two decades ago.“I understand about the alpha system, but why does the Patriarch want to find the luna system, too?” Zephyr was asking his squad commander at the time who was his own aunt.“He wanted to give it to his wife or his daughter, maybe?” Zephyr’s aunt said while smoking from a pipe.“Why?”“Haha, why you ask? Because it’s known to be the best support system,” she laughed. “I don’t know much, either, but the luna system is said to be driven by the owner’s feelings more than any other system. So, it is one of those systems where anger, happiness, and even sadness can be turned into strength. They say it can cast perfect illusions that make dreams resemble reality.”“What? That’s pretty fucked up.”“Yeah, it is a fitting system for any queen, as it has the capability to keep the alpha in check when everyone else fails,” she opined. “That’s why it’s a coveted system, but unfortunately, our clan never got hold of it. If you ever come across an opponent who wields that
