As they were driving, Gabe asked her, “What do you think of me?”“What do you mean?” Mia shrugged her shoulders. “You mean, in general? Or…”“Almost everybody I know has laughed at me or mocked me for one reason or another, but mostly about my eyes,” Gabe said. “I’m used to receiving insults, so you don’t have to hold back. You can tell me what you think about me.”“Uh, well… your eyes definitely don't help me look at them longer,” Mia was frank, and it didn’t surprise him. “But it’s not just your eyes. I’m not mesmerized by your smile, either. You don’t have a deep husky voice, either, for me to want to keep listening to you talk. But…” she paused.“But…” Gabe’s heart grew tense as he waited for her to continue talking.“I can’t possibly be judging you when I myself can’t read books clearly unless I have my spectacles,” Mia said. “I’m not good at playing sports or standing out among many girls. I consider myself as a weak woman who doesn’t know what’s good for her and can’t get past

Mia was surprised to hear Antony’s words. She looked at Gabe just to see his expression.“After I stopped working as a delivery driver, I couldn’t bring the leftover food packages here anymore,” Gabe said, looking a bit disappointed with himself. At least once every week, Gabe would deliver food packages to parties or functions of all kinds. There were times when the delivery drivers were given some packages for free, too. Gabe would bring two packages home, and he would bring the other packages to this orphanage as there used to be a lot more children here in the past. “Those were times when I was doing everything I could to put food on the table. My mom’s medical bills cost a lot of money, and so I appreciated every bit of opportunity that brought food onto my plate. I happened to meet Antony one day, and I thought I should help him at least once in a while to ease his nerves.”Antony patted Gabe’s shoulders in appreciation. “All the kids that know you have been adopted, so that’s w

Gabe and Mia gave all the clothes and toys to the children, and the kids no longer held any negative feelings toward them.Gabe also gave Antony a fresh pair of clothes and also a premium deer dish. Antony gladly accepted because deer meat was his favorite. His dad used to teach him how to hunt when he was young, and so when he ate the deer meat now, it brought back memories of the past, and Antony’s eyes turned watery. He leaned his head into Gabe’s shoulder and thanked him during his meal.Seeing such genuine emotions, Mia felt like her own spirit was being lifted. She was mostly surrounded by people who acted around her, so being in this orphanage was like a breath of fresh air to her.The children started quarreling among each other for the toys, so Mia had to take up the job to resolve their little conflicts with her sweet words.Gabe loved seeing the soft, sweet side of Mia because that was what attracted him to her in the first place. She was extraordinarily sweet even to those

Gabe was on the moon because his little finger held Mia’s little finger. He didn’t care to watch the movie but was mostly looking at her.At some point, Mia pulled her hand away, startling him.“Five minutes are done,” she said.He didn’t even know how fast the time passed. “Mia, do you consider me a friend? A good friend?”“Yeah. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have married you,” Mia replied without hesitation.“Then, will you give your good friend a kiss?” Gabe asked.Mia turned her head to look at him. “You won’t give up, do you?”“I’ve been friendzoned by many girls over the years,” Gabe tried his best to not sound pitiful. “I don’t want to be friendzoned by my wife. All I want is one kiss on the cheek. That’s all. Nothing more. Nothing less. I’ll be your slave if you want for the rest of the year. I’ll do everything you say.”Mia’s heart melted a little from seeing his desperation. “You don’t have to do anything for me.” She turned his head and gave him a quick peck on the cheek. It was a

Gabe received a punishment from Systa for saying that he would be willing to become Mia’s slave if only she would kiss him.This was the perhaps the most humiliating punishment he had ever received because the punishment was… when was coming down the escalator with Mia and there were a lot of people around, he let out what was the biggest fart of his life which greatly shook Mia’s heart for a second, and the poor children that just happened to be behind Gabe probably received the shock of their life.Now, Mia was not foreign to hearing farts from men because William used to fart without any shame in the past, but still, she was not expecting such an explosion coming from Gabe’s rear, not even in a million years. And that too in a public setting that attracted many eyes?Forget about laughing, everybody just looked at Gabe as if they were looking at a giant who conquered an enemy fortress with but a good meal.Gabe couldn’t utter a word with Mia anymore. He was too embarrassed by it. W

Mia made sure to buy some tablets for Gabe at a medical store, which was pretty embarrassing for him, to say the least. When she asked the medical shop owner to give tablets for gastro-intestinal issues, the shop owner told her to be more specific, and Mia then showed Gabe and told the owner that he was having an issue with releasing too much gas from the bottom. And so, the shop owner pitied Gabe because he still looked young and advised Gabe to not swallow too much air while eating or chewing gum. Gabe did his best to not cut the shop owner’s words off.Mia took twenty tablets and gave them to Gabe and said, “One every night.”“I promise you I’ll never fart like that again,” Gabe said. “Last time was a mistake. That won’t happen again. No matter what!”For some reason, Mia was able to tell that he was not saying this just for the sake of saying it. Perhaps, it was because her sense of observing the truth behind another person’s words greatly increased after leveling up.This made he

“How are you doing, Marcelo?” Gabe asked. “Or should I call you Nick, the Boss of Fang street, and the right hand man of the Big Boss that runs the Snake gang?”The old man frowned and removed his face mask, revealing his real face. “How the hell did you figure that out?”“Ah, well, I killed Zephyr, you see…” Gabe uttered. “I found a few things on his mobile, such as the identities of his drinking buddies.”Nick’s expression immediately changed. His eyes glowed red, and he instantly covered the distance and caught Gabe’s throat. However, to his surprise, Gabe had already pierced through Nick’s chest and grabbed his heart.Naturally, Nick couldn’t act recklessly. But he looked very surprised, because he didn’t expect Gabe to be this strong. “What the fuck do you want?”“A table in Flying Meadow, that’s all,” Gabe said, pulling his hand out after letting go of Nick’s heart. He then rubbed his bloody hand on Nick’s shirt.Nick frowned but was still glaring at him. “If you think you’re so

Every table in Flying meadow was one to be desired, but none like the one in the center, the pristine glass table with the golden-edge designs, which was situated at a higher level compared to all other tables.Even though Zack couldn’t get the main table, Kiera didn’t mind. She was already very happy that she was able to sit in this prestigious hotel. Naturally, she took her mobile out and began to take pictures of her and her handsome husband. Without wasting any time, she even posted them online and received likes in thousands pretty quickly. Whether it was from real followers or just from paid bots, that was something that would need an investigation.“I thought Russell Lynn would be here, but he’s not,” Kiera expressed a little bit of disappointment.“He was your classmate, right?” Zack asked with intrigue. “Then why don’t you just go and meet him once?”“Uh, well…” Kiera scratched her chin. “Back in school, he gave me a greeting card on the new year day, but I tore it into piece

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. Even though I’m covered

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
