Mia felt really cold at night, so much so she had to hug the pillow tightly. She was dreaming, and Gabe’s words were affecting her. She was having strange dreams which lasted until morning.

When she woke up, she was puzzled to see that Gabe wasn’t in the room even though the door was still locked from the inside.

“W-What happened to him?” Even the washroom’s door was open, so where could he have gone? For a long time, she didn’t even consider him escaping through the window.

Mia checked under the bed to see if he was hiding there, but he wasn’t there.

“What the…” she scratched her head and began to doubt what had happened last night. “I’m sure we entered the room together last night. He was on the couch when I switched the lights off, too… but… that’s not all me dreaming, or was it? Maybe he never entered the room together with me?” All the thinking only confused her even more.

She checked the clock.

“Oh, no, it’s already eight? I don’t have much time. I must get ready for the intervi

    At ten in the morning.Mia went to a newly built museum because they were taking admissions for the guide. Mia was one among the 54 attendees.Until she went to the museum, she really wanted the job because she was used to working in the museum and believed she could get the job. However, after going there, she only experienced bad things. For instance, she almost slipped and fell at the entrance. She avoided drinking water from a glass after seeing a hair inside. One of the attendees sitting beside her kept sneezing a lot, and they didn’t even cover their nose. It was unbearable for her. Just as she was thinking, her turn came.She went into the HR room, but to her shock, Kiera was inside, for she was a co-owner of the museum.As shocked as Mia was, she quickly collected herself and turned away to leave the room.“Are you sure you want to do that?” Kiera stood from her seat, making Mia stop. “I know you’ve been tricked by someone you believed, but if you ask me, you shouldn’t keep wo

    Nicole came home late last night and couldn’t sleep well. Her face, neck, and everywhere the soup fell still felt tender and sensitive to air, let alone touch.She looked for Gabe but couldn’t find him. After checking the time on her mobile, she was stunned because it was three in the afternoon.“I thought I didn’t sleep at all, but so much time has passed.”She also noticed 3 missed calls on her mobile. They were all from the same unknown number. She called the number, and Bjorn answered her call and reminded her that he helped her last night and asked her if she was feeling okay now.Even though Nicole wasn’t in the mood for talking, she still ended up talking for almost fifteen minutes.“Um, can we meet this weekend?” Bjorn braved himself and asked.“Uh, I’m quite busy with my job. I don’t think I can make time.”“I can meet you at the hotel for your work, if it’s possible? We can have dinner after your work is finished?” Bjorn suggested.His words made Nicole think. At this point,

    The bank of the pond was filled with all sorts of debris, and the two crocodile brothers were waiting for him just past the thick debris which also contained floating bones and rotten carrions of different creatures.“I will risk my life just as you wish.” Gabe dove into the pond and went to the bottom of the surface straight away before rising up toward the crocodile that first dove its head down to attack him.Gabe punched the water multiple times creating bubbles everywhere to hide himself.The crocodile speared its head through the bubbles, hoping to grab onto the prey, but failed to find the human.Gabe caught the crocodile’s tail from behind. He was thinking of pulling it down so he could smash it on the floor, but the second crocodile came at him with its mouth wide open. Gabe moved away at the last second, and the second crocodile ended up biting the tail of the first crocodile. Even though it bit hard, the tail was still intact. Nevertheless, the first crocodile was hurt. And

    “If you’ve really got balls, then come at me!” Gabe’s words somehow annoyed the crocodiles. They propelled themselves at him using a combo technique while bashing each other’s heads to get to Gabe first.“Haa!” Gabe leaped out of the water, somersaulted and stomped on the backs of both the crocodiles. His landing was powerful, but the water helped the crocodiles easily bear the impact. They rolled aggressively, causing Gabe to lose footing.“Shit,” Gabe fell right in the middle. Both crocodiles raised their heads and bashed their bodies into Gabe from either side and at the same time grabbed his body, wherever they could find a grip with their teeth.Both of the crocodiles immediately rolled their bodies in opposite ways. It was an impeccable teamwork of the brothers as they endeavored to defeat the opponent.They thought they had won with that, but what they had actually caught onto was a gibbon’s carrion. It was not fresh meat, so the brothers didn’t fight over it and looked for the

    After Systa helped heal Gabe’s foot injury, he was granted part of the abilities of the fish system, using which he jumped into the pond and simply focused on swimming around the pond just to get a feel of his ability.To his great surprise, he was able to feel the electrical pulses that the fish were sending to each other. And he could also make sense of their gestures.Tens of crocodiles chased Gabe, but he magnificently maneuvered himself through them, giving them no chance to catch him.Not all of the pond was dirty. There were parts where the pond was very clean. Gabe spent some time in clean spots as he looked for the crocodile that had escaped from him. It had a bruised back, and he also remembered its scent, so it took less than twenty minutes to find the crocodile.However, that crocodile was currently fighting the other crocodiles, trying to stop them from eating his brother. In that process, it suffered more injuries and was no longer in a position to compete with Gabe.Gab

    “Why are you forcing me like this?” Zuri resisted as two big men tried to pull her into the car. “I said I’m not feeling well. I can’t come today. I’ll come some other time.”“You have to come, or you’re going to face severe consequences,” they threatened her. “You will experience things that you’ll come to regret.”“Didn’t you hear what I said? I’m feeling sick, you bastards!” Zuri complained. “Let go of me!”Gabe saw what was going on. He just shook his head and kept walking.[You sure are cold-hearted.] Systa commented.“Hmph, things like these happen in her career, so why should I bother?” Gabe said.However, Zuri saw him and immediately called for help. “Gabe! Help me! These men are taking me to a dangerous place!”“Tsk,” Gabe couldn’t act like he didn’t hear her. He reluctantly stopped and looked back.“Dude, this has nothing to do with you,” one of the two men warned Gabe. “Just go and mind your business. I’m telling this for your own good.”“I’m saying this for your own good,

    As the car steadily dashed through the street, Zuri was growing all the more tense.[She looks like she may pee any second.] Systa commented. [You do have a plan, don’t you?]“Nope,” Gabe’s reply shocked Systa. “Actually, I need your help. See if you can find any secret videos on this lawyer. You should be able to find some footage where he’s taking bribes or something.”[Ah-huh, so that’s how you want to shut him up. But it could backfire, you know. If he’s got a big ego, then he won’t be able to sleep until he gets rid of you.]“Then I just have to crush all of his ego in this meeting. Find as much evidence as you can. He should pee in his pants when I show him all the evidence.”[Got it.]Eventually, they reached a private villa built in a vast 300 acres.“Isn’t this the billionaire Johnson’s place?” Zuri asked the driver.“Yeah, but Mr. Oscar is staying here, so we were told to bring you here.”As the car drove on the stone pavement, the dozens of dogs that were there were surroun

    A kick could easily be seen through by even an inexperienced fighter. However, Gabe was not in a position to dodge because Zuri was right behind him. Even though she was in the car, she was still in the line of attack.Gabe was forced to step forward and cross-block the kick before Kirk could fully extend his leg. Still, the kick was powerful enough to push Gabe’s upper body back.“Haa!” Gabe put more strength into his arms and roared. He pushed Kirk’s leg back.Kirk landed on one foot and whipped the same leg at Gabe’s waist.Gabe raised his leg and blocked the kick just in time. “Not so fast, bastard!” He shifted his other foot and thrust the raised leg and viciously struck Kirk’s abdomen, forcing him to take a step back. Though it looked like a normal hit, Kirk felt a sharp pain as if he was pierced by a knife.Zuri, at the same time, purposely showed her cleavage from the window to distract Kirk. It worked only for a second, but in that short time, Gabe lunged forth and rained a f

    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.
