“Ranked 111,111 on the UTS board,” Rica introduced one of the contestants to both the offline and online crowd, “the guy who drinks a deer’s blood and a bear’s blood alike, the guy who smokes marijuana 16 hours a day, the guy who shamelessly scares elderly and children alike, the guy who’s hated and also loved by many, the one and only, Superfreak Saul.”Saul, a big guy imported from the Middle East, received a massive cheer. He was almost eight-foot-tall and had long hair that was decorated in locks. He was currently pumping blood to his biceps using 100 pound dumbbells, which greatly pumped not just his blood but also the blood of many onlookers. So many people placed their bets on him because he had an unbeatable record of 43 wins to this day. And most of his opponents were relatively higher ranked people, which brought his victories quite some attention, and this made him a star within a span of a year.“Do you think Superfreak would win?”“We don’t know who will be placed against
Rica came to check on Saul since he wasn’t getting up. It turned out Saul only lost his consciousness, and didn’t suffer any external injury, which made Rica believe that Gabe went easy on him.She briefly looked at Gabe who was waving at the fans, some of whom said they wanted to meet him in real life outside, to which Gabe responded, saying, you will get an uppercut if you do. But the fans only loved his response, and some of them didn’t even care that they lost their bet. And they demanded Gabe to fight another random match right away.Rica put her hand on Saul’s forehead, and two seconds later, he opened his eyes.“Where am I?” Saul looked around and realized that he lost. He lifted his hand and put it on his face in shame.Because Saul lifted his left hand, the smell of his armpit almost made Rica vomit. She immediately pulled his arm down while covering her nose. “Your armpit smells worse than drainage.”“H-Huh?” Saul was shocked by her words. “W-What are you saying? I bathe twi
Having worked in Tuna Waves a few weeks now, Nicole understood one of the main goals that the restaurant had.It was to make the best-selling burgers and pizzas in three categories: fruits, veggies, and meat. The reason was simple. The Creed Zone, where the restaurant was located, was a big hub to all the gamers of Dream Creed, the most popular game of the world, so the company’s goal was to feed these gamers healthy food that could be eaten quickly.So, everyday, a different chef was given the opportunity to make the pizza of their choosing, and then slices of that pizza would be sent to important people of the company and would receive the reviews. The result needed to be perfect, which meant that everybody had to love the dish.To this day, nobody ever succeeded in making something that received a perfect score.Today, it was Nicole’s turn.In the afternoon, she was given the recipe book that the previous chefs had used. She spent multiple hours just reading that book and noticed h
At Tuna Waves.Russell was having a meeting with some of the board of directors of the Creed tech company, which included the likes of Adam Conreid, Kyra Lynn, Marlon Myers, and Jim Blake.“Why aren’t you agreeing to this new project where we can create new souls using artificial intelligence?” Jim Blake, the son of Lucas Blake, asked Russell. “This will take our game to another level, no, it will take the world itself to another level. You can even bring the dead people back with as accurate personalities as possible. Of course, we’ll need to implant their personalities in another person’s body that’s near death, or just make clones with synthetic bodies. Whichever is profitable, we should do that. If we succeed, then real estate wouldn’t even compare to this. People would pay millions to get their loved ones back, even if it's through AI.”“My grandfather strictly told me to use AI for nothing but the game,” Russell said. “It can be used for entertainment, but not for education. You
The restaurant that Rica brought Gabe to was unlike anything he had ever seen before. It was an underground restaurant, but there were glass walls surrounding their table. On the other side of the walls, lions, tigers, and other animals lived. This was like they were surrounded by a zoo, with only a glass wall separating them.“What is this place?” Gabe asked as he entered this space through an elevator that brought him down from the ceiling and then left. Even Systa didn’t know about the existence of such a place. “There’s animals. There’s fish. It’s like a zoo.”“It’s an exclusive restaurant that can only be used by a certain number of families that are part of its customers,” she said. “Even billionaires won’t be able to get in here unless they are recognized by the owner of this restaurant.”“Who’s the owner?”“My uncle,” she said, surprising Gabe.“I guessed you were rich, but not to this extent,” Gabe said, sitting down on the premium wooden chair which oozed nothing but quality
“Dad…” Rica walked over to Alexander and gave him a gentle hug with one hand and then held his hand and brought him to his seat.Gabe got out of his seat, but Alexander waved his hand, as if telling him to sit. Gabe quickly sat down, but he was feeling anxious, even though he had completely hidden the ring using his invisibility power.“Dad, this is the guy I was talking about,” Rica introduced him. “Gabe. His full name is Gabriel Brando.”“Gabriel. That’s a nice name,” Alexander looked at Gabe without blinking for a few seconds. “You look nice, too… But what’s not nice is that you got my daughter’s attention, and she’s mentioned about you five times in the last couple of months. She’s very particular about men, so I wondered what’s so special about you. I surely wasn’t expecting you to be cross-eyed, though.”Gabe frowned a little.“Dad!” Rica hissed at him in a soft voice and hit his foot.“If you’re really interested in him, Rica, then it’s better that I be frank instead of sugar-c
“Pass? For what?” Gabe didn’t get what he was talking about. “Open the wrapper, and you’ll know it,” Rica said. “Mm?” Gabe opened the candy wrap and found a gold-coated chocolate inside. “Is this a gold ball?” He picked it up. “No. It doesn’t weigh heavy.” “It’s edible,” Alexander said. “You can eat it.” Gabe hesitantly put it in his mouth, and the chocolate melted very quickly, and the taste was very good. “This flavor… was the first milk used in making this chocolate.” “Hoh… to think you were able to deduce that in a few seconds…” Alexander was impressed. “I guess you’re talented in not just fighting but in more departments.” “Mm?” As Gabe swallowed the chocolate juices down his throat, he felt a slight surge of power that worked his muscles up a bit and made him sweat. He could tell that it wasn’t just some ordinary chocolate, but he didn’t say anything about it. After all, he felt a little better now. “How are you feeling?” Rica asked. “Did you sense any changes?” Gabe slow
Both Systa and Ulf were walking next to Gabe while eating icecreams. They looked like little children. While Systa was slowly licking the ice cream, Ulf was chomping on it.“Do you think he really didn’t notice that I have a system?” Gabe asked.[Yeah. I’m a hundred percent sure!] Systa told him. [I and Ulf were hibernating throughout, so there’s no way he would have sensed anything abnormal.]“But he was looking at me a bit differently,” Gabe wondered.{Maybe, it’s because you’re cross-eyed that you felt his gaze being abnormal?} Ulf opined.Gabe angrily grinned. “You’re purposely teasing me, aren’t you? I was very much shaking inside throughout the time I was talking with the father and the daughter. The last thing I wanted was to fight them there.”Because Systa had told him that both Rica and her dad were strong, he obviously didn’t want to fight them in a restaurant owned by Rica’s uncle. Who knew just how much of a reinforcement they would have got had he started fighting them?
