Bjorn had reserved the entire fourth floor for an hour, between nine to ten, for himself. And he waited for Nicole to arrive.

When she came, she was slack-jawed to see that there were no other customers, except for Bjorn. And the table before him was also massive with at least thirty dishes for choosing. She had no idea that this much preparation was being put by Bjorn. “D-Did I keep you waiting?”

Bjorn got up from his chair and received her with a smile. “What kind of a man wouldn’t wait for a woman he had asked to come? Do you want to sit across the table or beside me?”

“I-I’ll sit across,” she said. “It only seems about 8 feet apart.”

They sat down, and multiple waiters served them after asking for their choice. Nicole had never received such a treatment before, so she was still very reserved.

After seeing how elegantly Bjorn was eating, she couldn’t help but ask, “I didn’t know you were rich.”

“Why? Do you have an aversion to rich men?” he asked back.

“No, but… nevermind.” Nicole

    “Keke, how long are you going to keep dancing with your clothes on?”“Yeah, take them down for us so we can see the goods.”As the four guys were busy staring at the laptop, they heard the waters move in the back, but they didn’t care.Moments later, the soft noises were replaced by rougher noises which were then replaced by the angry snorts of crocodiles that sent shivers up and down their spines.They quickly turned on the flashlights, only to see crocodiles rushing out of the pond. Like they had seen ghosts, they threw the flashlights away and ran for their lives, even forgetting to pick up the laptop.When the lady on the screen wondered what was going on and came closer, she saw a crocodile up close to the camera and screamed in horror.Systa got a good laugh out of all this while Gabe was sitting on top of a tree. The crocodiles looked for him everywhere, but in the end, they couldn’t find him and went back into the pond after destroying the laptop with a tail swing.“I’ve done

    Vyse’s provocation didn’t anger Gabe. Instead, his mind kept thinking back on Vyse’s kick, where Vyse used the knee joint to throw a feint and then deal a great deal of damage with the following ‘real’ kick.Gabe had experienced many feints during his practice matches in the park, or in the UTS matches, but no one had ever made a feint with a kick before. It felt so innovative and masterful Gabe couldn’t help appreciate it because throwing feints in kicks was much more difficult after all.Gabe’s ear was still ringing, but he was somewhat able to hear Vyse’s words. Nevertheless, he didn’t let Vyse’s provocation get to his mind. He patiently stood and got his breath under control. This helped him better bear the pain in his ear.“I’ll first defeat you with my eyes open,” Gabe lunged forth.{Coming straight at me? Tsk! Tsk!} Vyse seemed disappointed. {Did you forget what I’m capable of?}Gabe jumped and thrust a kick straight in Vyse’s chest. However, Vyse didn’t budge a single inch. Th

    Gabe had no idea how much time had passed, but he couldn’t open his eyes. He began to hear voices around him.Vyse and Systa were talking about many things, mostly about other systems. In the end, their conversation shifted to talking about Gabe.[So, do you want to serve him or not?] Systa asked Vyse.{Even an animal knows when to back away in a fight.] Vyse said. {But this guy doesn’t. I don’t know if it’s a good thing or a bad thing.}[You should know that there are times when humans don’t back away from a fight even after knowing that they’ll lose.] Systa explained. {Even animals do that sometimes.]{Maybe, but I don’t like to follow this guy. I think I can do better when I’m alone.}[So you feel like you won’t be used well when you’re with me, huh…] Systa sighed. [Fine. I’ll let you go if you help him train.]{No problem, though I think he might be afraid of me.}[Haha, you’re underestimating him too much.] Systa angrily laughed. [He may not have anywhere near as much battle expe

    Draco and Joshua didn’t know what to do.Joshua was shivering outside the store as he was afraid of how his parents would react if they were to know that the car was stolen. Moreover, Joshua was only eight years old, and he came outside without his parents knowing. It suddenly dawned upon him that he didn’t have a single good thing to tell his parents.“3000 dollars…” Draco, on the other hand, was just in disbelief. “I could have used that as pocket money for a year at least.”“You are worried about 3000 dollars when my car itself was stolen?” Joshua growled at him.“We lost the gaming gear, too. What should we do?” Draco asked. “Can you tell your parents what happened?”“No way.” Joshua didn’t know what to do. He couldn’t even think straight at the moment. He was still shivering enough that it looked like he might faint any second. “I’m foolish. We should have come in the morning. It’s Saturday tomorrow. If we had waited another day, we would have come here on Sunday.” He started cry

    Bjorn and Nicole spent almost two hours at the restaurant. As they were coming out, Bjorn’s son, Sekel Hemsey, noticed them from his car, which was actually Gabe’s dark olive Lamborghini.He didn’t like what he saw.“You didn’t marry anybody until now. You didn’t even date anybody, so what the hell are you doing now? What changed so suddenly… Dad?”Sekel didn’t want his father to date much less marry someone because he didn’t want his dad’s wealth to go to waste. To this day, he always thought that his dad’s wealth fully belonged to him. If some random woman were to marry Bjorn and give birth to a child, then Sekel would lose a lot of money.“I have to find out about that gold digger as soon as possible.” He followed their car. “To think he’s taking her in his car. Is he heading to some hotel?” Sekel grew more and more frustrated. Moreover, it proved to be a long chase.After traveling for an hour, Bjorn’s car stopped. Nicole stepped out and said, “This is my house.”Bjorn just smiled

    The next morning.Gabe was looking at the silver ring in his palm. “How will you travel on your own?”{Many systems can’t do that, but I can.} Vyse proudly said.“Yeah. But how?” Gabe couldn’t help but ask.{You’re not that smart, are you?}A vein popped on Gabe’s forehead. “If you don’t want to answer, then just get lost!” he threw the ring into the distance. He had no issue doing that after taking so many hits from Vyse over the night.The ring fell in the pond and reached the bottom, where a crocodile had its mouth open. The ring fell in its mouth.[He can lower his weight to that of a feather and can travel through the wind.] Systa told Gabe.“Ah, I see. Now I get it,” Gabe somewhat calmed down. “Ahem, anyway, now you have some of those powers, right?”[Yes. You can use them, too, but you need to practice first, or you’ll end up killing people.]“Yeah,” Gabe completely understood her statement. If he were to punch someone while his weight was equivalent to ten thousand kilos, then

    Early in the morning, Gabe was driving back home in his rental car.“I feel like I have gotten significantly stronger, you know,” Gabe talked with Systa. “Not strength-wise, but definitely mind-wise. The practice matches with Vyse helped me greatly.”[You fought with him 1210 times and won 500 times.] Systa said. [So, you did a decent job.]“If we kept fighting, I’d have had more wins under my belt,” Gabe confidently said.[That’s possible because your winning percentage improved as time passed.] Systa opined. [But don’t get that into your head. Vyse might just have gone easy on you and let you win so that you’d get bored and let him leave early.]“Huh!” Gabe snorted in anger. “You really don’t like to give me credit, do you? Why is it so hard for you to genuinely praise me for once?”[I will praise you when I feel like it, not because you ask me a million times.] Systa responded.At a junction up ahead, a superbike came speeding from another street. Thanks to Gabe’s enhanced senses,

    At around nine in the morning, Gabe went into his home, wondering why Nicole was still at home and didn’t go to work.To his surprise, he heard a feminine voice from the kitchen which didn’t belong to Nicole or Mia. He quickly looked inside, and it was Sheila, the divorced neighbor, who was learning how to cook a certain dish using Nicole’s expertise.“You’re not teaching her for free, are you, Mom?” Gabe asked.Sheila was surprised by his words. “Huh, you really are as stingy as ever.”“You didn’t give me the money for free in the past, so you’re not qualified to call others stingy,” Gabe reminded her, making her twist her mouth.“Fine. I’ll give you some money afterward, Aunt Nicole,” Sheila told her.“Oh, I can’t take money from a guest,” Nicole quickly rejected. “You can always come to me for any recipe. As long as I’m allowed to tell you about a certain recipe, I’ll freely share my knowledge with you.”“Then I’ll become your disciple, Aunt Nicole!” Sheila gave her a mild hug.Gab

    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.
