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

Some of the other customers kept looking at Kiera, and she liked that. It added to her ego and made her adjust her hair.Both Gabe and Mia stopped eating and looked at her. “Excuse me… do I know you?Kiera frowned. “What?”“Why did you sit at our table?” Gabe asked without even blinking.Kiera’s gaze sharpened. “Stop with your stupid acting, Gabe. My face is an unforgettable one. Once you see it, you can’t unsee it. I’m sure you’ve masturbated to me many times in the past, and you probably even do that now, right? Even after I dumped you on your wedding day, you still can’t stop thinking about me, which is why you’re acting like you don’t kno

"You cannot hope to win against us. Surrender, and you may yet find mercy."“You monsters who are ganging up on me, do you even know what mercy means?” Gabe retorted and countered Fang with a punch.Surprisingly, Gabe’s punch seemed simple but the weight it had was tremendous. Fang was pushed back.But at the same time Stark kicked Gabe’s face.Once again, Stark expected Gabe to be sent flying, but Gabe took the attack without even moving an inch.And it was Stark who frowned in response.Zephyr raised his hand, stopping others from a

    “It’s time to return,” Gabriel Agnar said, and these few words changed the body language of all the squad members.In that moment, they let their guard dawn, a small figure dashed in through their ranks and attacked their patriarch Gabriel.Gabriel saw through the first feint and responded accordingly, but the second attack also turned out to be a feint just to distract him so that they could pluck the severed hand out of Gabriel’s hand.And they managed to grab the hand, but no amount of pulling was enough to get the severed hand out of the old man’s grip.Everyone was startled after seeing the young kid who gave off an ethereal energy, which they could sense.This young kid was none other than Ulf.“What do you think you’re doing, kid?” Gabriel asked him.“Ha-ha, good afternoon,” Ulf replied awkwardly, “or is it evening now?” He grew triple in size and clenched his fists. “Omega Arts Secret Move…” He threw in a straight punch at Gabriel’s chest. “Final Fist!”Gabriel took the attack

A shockwave burst through his chest and ripped the back of Gabe’s shirt in the shape of Zephyr's palm.Gabe coughed out a lot of blood, and his eyes nearly turned white. He was about to fall back.Zephyr caught Gabe’s throat and squeezed it. “If I kill you, then the Alpha System will be ours.”“Gabe!” Mia ran toward him. “No!”“Where do you think you’re running?” Pixie, the number five, blurted. Her green hair extended forth like tree vines and sought to capture Mia.Mia moved swiftly and dodged a few vines, but the hair grew branches like trees, and they were sharp enough to pierce through Mia’s body.Her torso and limbs were riddled with many thin holes.She bled from the nose and mouth and couldn’t move at all. She felt completely frozen.Pixie pulled the hair out and retracted them. Mia fell to her knees.Seeing all this, Gabe’s blood thrummed beneath his skin. His heart pounded with the c

    In ancient times, serpents had wings and feet, and they were called by many names. One of those kinds were also called Dragons.So, dragons were indeed serpents with wings and legs. Even in the modern day, dragons were worshiped in some places. Some martial arts were derived from dragons, too.However, Alleria’s martial arts were not related to dragons but of a different serpent kind, whose existence had been erased from history..When Alleria was young, she spent her time in the woods, and the most difficult enemies she faced were the monstrous serpents that lived in that forest. This made her wonder just how much stronger would the serpents be if they had legs, too, as they did in the past.This led Alleria to search through her clan’s library and find the ancient serpent art books. And she picked one that she believed would be the most challenging.And thanks to her collective efforts, she managed to become the head of one of the Eight Enigma Squads, the Serpent Squad.The Ancient S

    Alleria was sent flying through multiple walls, and she ended up crashing into the tables of the precious customers.“That hurts…” Alleria’s cheek bruised, and she bled from a corner of her mouth.“W-Who are you?” The customers were all shocked because this woman was wearing armor underneath her cloak, and there was even a short sword at her waist. “Are you a cosplayer?”“Who was that little girl?” Alleria got back up, looking quite irritated because her cloak was dirtied by the food, so she had to remove it. She looked sturdy despite her age, and she was nearly six feet tall. Many men in that hall hadn’t seen such a well-built woman with attractive looks like that before. “Call herself as my grandmother,” she cracked her neck, releasing the gas bubbles from the joints in her spine, “let’s see if you’ve really got what it takes to utter such words.”She rushed into the bathroom, but to her surprise, Systa and Nicole were gone.“What?” Alleria frowned. “I didn’t see them leave.

The little girl was struggling until seconds ago, and she’s fine now? Something didn’t feel right. Whether Systa was playing games or not, Nicole didn’t want to take the risk. “I’m taking you to the toilet room once.”“Ugh,” Systa hissed at her. “Listen to me.”Nicole was startled. “Did you just hiss at me? And why are you gritting your teeth?”“Because you don’t understand the trouble that you’re in!” Systa blurted. “Driver, turn the car around and get going.”The driver, however, looked at her with a silly expression as if Systa was not the one who’s going to pay him for the ride.Systa didn’t like that the driver was treating her as a little girl. She wished she could show her powers to him, but because of Nicole, she had to hold herself back.“Can you wait here for half an hour for us?” Nicole

Put me down.”“Get used to it,” Nicole pinched Systa’s cheeks. “You know, I watched Gabe grow, but I missed watching a girl grow. I didn’t have a daughter, you see. So, I feel like keeping you with me for as long as possible.”“S-Stop pulling my cheeks!” Systa found it annoying because her skin was not perfectly authentic human-standard.“Stop acting like that,” Nicole stopped pulling the cheek and gently rubbed it. “You’re a girl, so you’re going to raise kids one day.

    “It’s one thing that James lost, but for Atarah to lose to this brat…” The number one ranker of the Jaguar Squad, Stark, spoke. “This is quite shameful.”“Indeed,” Fang, the second ranker, opined. “I feel a little embarrassed since I’ve trained James for over a month now. For him to lose without even taking an opponent’s limb is quite disappointing. I hope he’s not dead.”“James is the last ranker, the number 10 of the squad,” the zeroth ranker and the head of the Jaguar Squad, Zephyr, replied. He had a sharp mustache and was cleanly shaven. “He’s the weakest, but Atarah is the ranked fourth in the squad, and she let her younger comrade lose. So, she failed both as a teammate and as an individual fighter. She needs to be punished for her mistakes later. But for now…” He glanced at the number five ranker, who was a green-headed female, Pixie.Pixie stepped forth and treated Atarah’s injury with her vivre.
