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

Sheila guided Gabe to her company.Along the way, Gabe kept talking about Nicole, including her past as well as her present. “I hope she finds a man soon. I want her to have her own child because she sacrificed so much for me.”“I hope your wish will come true,” Sheila didn’t speak much for whatever reason.Eventually, they reached the destination. The tech company was an eleven-floor building, but what caught Gabe’s eyes was the 29-floored building next to it, which didn’t have a single window on it.Gabe had never seen a building without windows, definitely not one of this size.“What’s that building for?” Gabe asked her because he didn’t see any symbols or boards on it.“Ah, that’s owned by the federal government,” Sheila said. “Did you ask because it doesn’t have windows?”“Mm.”“I thought it’s strange at first, too, but when I thought about it, I understood that federal agents need to maintain utmost secrecy, so they removed the option and luxury of having windows,” Sheila opined

The Carter company was owned by Nate Carter, a 30-year-old guy with nothing but a good record and reputation in the professional circles.The company grew in its fame quickly in recent years because of the tough projects it took on. Nate himself was one of the top programmers of the company, and Sheila also recently got promoted to being an executive.However, with fame also came troubles of all kinds. While getting targeted by hackers was not first for the company, a hacking of this scale was not something Nate or anybody even imagined in the past.All the past project details that the company had kept as backup as part of the protocol, and also the personal details of the employees, everything was stolen overnight. On top of that, a new project was given to the company. It was to do nothing until further notice.Nate didn’t stay put. He tried everything he could by himself, but the hacker proved too good for him. So, he hired Aaron, the best ethical hacker in the country, and brough

“Is it done?” Nate asked in a hurry. “Have you succeeded in finding the hacker’s location?”Gabe looked at Nate. “I got his location, but first, I’m going to destroy all the things he has on you guys.”Gabe then acted quickly and overloaded the hardware where the hacker was operating from. Before he could shut the systems down, the information was all deleted.And then the hacker’s mobile received a message saying, ‘I’m coming for you.’“It’s done,” Gabe told Nate.Nate froze for a second, but then his eyes turned a bit wet in happiness. He grabbed Gabe’s hand and said, “You have no idea how much this hacker has been harassing me for the past week. If this had continued for long, I would have been forced to commit suicide. I don’t even know how to thank you.”“That’s his goal,” Gabe uttered.“Mm?”“Making you commit suicide, that is,” Gabe said, startling Nate, Sheila, and Aaron. “Have you ever heard about a tactic called the silent dagger? It’s a way to make the targeted individuals

The 29-floored building with no windows whatsoever. It had definitely raised doubts in Gabe’s mind. Even without the quest, he was planning to enter and take a look inside.Just what could the rich bankers and other agents of the wealthiest private corporation in the world be doing in this building?There was only one entrance and exit, so Gabe had to go through that. The moment he entered, an alarm rang as if he had just passed through a security checkpoint. Gabe’s heart pounded instantly as the guards sitting nearby raised their guns immediately.[Relax.] Systa said. [They can’t see you.]“Yeah, but that fucking scared me,” Gabe’s heart still didn’t slow down.[You should have expected that because you only became invisible. Your body is still there, so it must have affected the electromagnetic signals.] Systa said. [That’s why the alarm rang.]“Can’t you do something about it next time?”[I can, but it’s too much hassle. Let’s just go.] Systa rushed with her words. [If I’m correct,

‘Rip your bone marrow out and chew on it.’These words strikingly hit Gabe’s heart. “You… are you a cannibal?”“Yes, and so are you.”“What?” Gabe didn’t get it.“There are many fast food centers that use human meat in place of beef and chicken,” Rory said. “So, I’m sure you must have eaten a hand or a leg of someone many times over the years.”Gabe’s face froze for a second. “Tell me he’s lying,” he asked Systa.[Do you want to lose your head? You should focus on the fight.] Systa hissed.“So it’s true,” Gabe’s jaw hardened. “What sort of a sadistic fuck would put human meat in restaurants and fast food centers?”“The ones that are a special kind of humans,” Rory smirked. “The ones that rule the world in every department including the government.”Gabe frowned. “I was never a fan of the government because they spend the taxpayers’ money willy-nilly without even bothering to ask the people’s permission. Because of all those stupid decisions they constantly take, they make living expen

The pain Gabe felt all over his body was not quantifiable. Most people would have long passed out or even died from the sheer shock to the brain and the rest of the body. Gabe, however, didn’t even flinch.He had already gone through many more brutal fights in the Woods park, and during when he fought Vyse, where he nearly died many times. He also had to fight Vyse without getting himself healed while bearing all the pain that Vyse had inflicted on him. Compared to the challenge he had to endure during his fights against Vyse, what Rory offered wasn’t that big of a deal.Rory’s jaw cracked after receiving a powerful kick. He touched his jaw and knew straight away that he severely underestimated the opponent. “You bastard… you were hiding your power,” he got up to his feet, but what he didn’t understand was that why would Gabe let himself get hit so much if he was capable of fighting back like he did just a second ago?Gabe didn’t answer Rory's question.Unlike Gabe, Rory didn’t have t

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
