Gabe returned home and was still feeling anxious as he wondered if the smart system had told Alexander about him or not.

To add to his stress, he only saw two oranges left in the kitchen. “W-Where did the rest of the oranges go?”

Nicole wasn’t home, so he didn’t have anybody to answer that question.

He ate one orange and left the second one on Nicole’s bed before walking out of the house. “If there were more oranges, I would have taken some to the orphanage, but… I don’t think that man will just give me more oranges if I go to that Sterling villa, right?”

[Let’s not test that man’s generosity.] Systa advised. [But I think that you should keep the seeds and plant them in the park. I’m sure when they grow and bear fruit, the children in the neighborhood would love to eat them.]

Gabe liked the idea. “You should have told me this sooner. Now, we only have one orange left.”

[No, Gabe. You weren’t paying attention. Your aunt has already put some of those seeds on the rooftop so they’d dry u

    Gabe came to the park to spend the night there. It was peaceful until he felt a shadow prowling in the darkness, slowly closing in on him.“Come on out,” Gabe said.“Your senses are pretty sharp as well,” Nick stepped out into the moonlight. His eyes glowed red.Gabe, however, didn’t look surprised. He was still lying on the grass, as if he wasn’t intimidated by this person’s arrival.“You don’t look surprised. Were you perhaps expecting me?” Nick asked.“I don’t have the mood to talk with you, so state your reason for coming here,” Gabe was straightforward.Nick smiled and sat down on a bench that was about ten feet away from Gabe. He put one leg on top of another as if to show his confidence. “This is a pretty decent park. You wouldn’t want this to be seized by court, do you?”Gabe’s expression didn’t change.“The distance between your home and Tuna Waves isn’t small,” Nick added. “A lot of things can happen during such a long trip.”Gabe’s jaw hardened. “Keep at it, and you’ll die

    Many questions flooded through Gabe’s mind as he was told to kill the child who barely looked two to three years old. When did they kidnap him? Was it before Gabe entered this building or after? If it was before, then where were they keeping him in the building? How many more children were there in this building? All these thoughts only added to Gabe’s rising heartbeat and tension. “Do it, Gabriel,” the grandmaster uttered with a hint of pressure in his voice. “Didn’t you eat chicken and beef before? You’ve already taken many lives indirectly, so this is nothing special.” “If it’s nothing special, then why do we have to make this sacrifice?” Gabe asked him back. “This is what our god wants,” the grandmaster said, with his hands placed on his crotch. “We eat chicken and beef every week, but we still consider meat as special, don’t we? This is also the same. Sacrifices like these happen all the time, but they’re still considered special. Don’t think too much about it and put the kni

    Gabe got home as fast as he could, and he was utterly relieved to hear Nicole humming in the bathroom.He then sent Systa to watch over Mia’s house.Systa happily went and sat on the perimeter wall of the house. She was sitting in the shadows so that people wouldn’t be able to see her.William just happened to come out to smoke a cigar. He kept looking at the house across the street. “Why isn’t that woman showing her face these days? I can’t tell whether she’s interested in me or not. But I’m sure she should be bored because her husband spends time in the military. If I can find the chance to enter her house at least once, I’m definitely going to make it count.” He started to circle around the house and ended up seeing a figure sitting on the wall. It wasn’t big enough for it to be a human, so he thought it was a monkey. “SHUU!” he waved his hand, but then he heard a giggle. It was a child’s voice, but it felt like the giggling of a little ghost, and it suddenly sent a chill down Will

    “Whoever hit you got you completely and utterly good,” Brendon Carillo, the mayor’s son, was laughing as Bart was receiving injections by a beautiful nurse to ease his pain. “Why do you not want to tell me who did it? Do you think I won’t help you? I gave jobs to your family members, so I can surely beat the crap out of whoever did this to you, and then bring him to your feet.”Bart didn’t say anything. He felt that Brendon was willing to help him not out of friendship but probably for some other reason. After all, Bart had taken money from Brendon’s dad, and so Brendon hired a nurse to take care of Bart so that he would quickly recover.“By the way, did I tell you that my dad is opening a five-star hotel in two days?” Brendon said, grabbing the nurse’s hand as she was walking away. He pulled her and made her sit on his lap. He kissed her on her shoulder and back, making her blush. “I’m going to invite your family . They can eat and drink to their heart’s content.”Bart looked at Bren

    Zuri’s face and especially her eyes cooked with horror. Clearly, Nick had put her through a lot of pain before killing her.Just thinking about it twisted Gabe’s guts.He had told Zuri to leave as this place wouldn’t be safe for her after she left the snake gang, but Zuri didn’t listen to him.And the thought of leaving some protection for Zuri never came to Gabe’s mind, and he felt guilty for that.He couldn’t even say sorry because he knew that a mere apology wouldn’t cover anything.Gabe then noticed that there was a piece of paper stuck to the metal pole right underneath Zuri’s head.There were a few words written on it: Do you feel bad that you lost your little slut? Then, you’re going to feel so much more bad soon because you’ll be losing everyone and everything you cherish… even your own life.Gabe’s veins flooded with rage. Electricity released out of his hand and utterly burnt the paper into crisp.Gabe closed Zuri’s eyes and promised her, “I’ll kill that bastard in the most

    Many years ago.Mia was in her eighth standard. Everybody was exchanging greeting cards during new year, but to Mia’s surprise, nobody came to her to give a card that morning, which made her sad.However, later that afternoon, when Mia returned from a lunch break, there was a rose left at her bench. Back then, Mia didn’t know who left that rose on her bench, but now, as she was dreaming using the power of the luna system and was reliving that memory, she looked around after picking up that rose, and there she found Gabe sitting the back rows, stealing glances at her.Did he leave the rose there? There was no way of asking him because as Mia tried to speak with him, the dream world was falling apart.Nevertheless, this dream led to another dream.One evening after school hours, when Mia was returning home with her friends, a monkey stole Mia’s bag and climbed up a tree. Nobody helped her. She tossed a few stones at the monkey, but the monkey was high up in the tree, and it was going th

    Once the blood transfer was done, Systa removed the dome because Gabe didn’t want the neighbors to see it. Luckily, the thunderbolt had caused the power to fluctuate in all the houses, and even their inverters were affected by it.As a result, nobody in that region had power in their houses that night. Naturally, many people came out onto their rooftops or the streets and chattered about the disgustingly loud sound they all heard. Most people kept exaggerating the story to make themselves get noticed by others.At Mia’s house.Everyone except Mia came out and sat in the verandah outside. Eventually, Mia came out to the balcony upon Stemmer’s request, and was then shocked to see Gabe’s house completely destroyed.She quickly came down to check for the people, and she couldn’t find anyone at first sight, which made her worry if both Gabe and Nicole got stuck under the rubble, but Stemmer told her that both of them weren’t under the rubble.Despite Stemmer’s words, Mia didn’t seem to hav

    All the dreams Mia had of Gabe only minutes ago now felt like they were going down the drain very fast, but then she saw that Nicole was lying on the bed right next to Gabe and the girl with attractive ribbons for earrings.Gabe quickly came over to meet Mia. “It’s dangerous outside, Mia. You should go home.”“Is your… Mom okay?” she asked.“She suffered some shock, but she should be fine,” Gabe said.“Are you sure you don’t want to take her to a doctor?” Mia questioned him in a bit of a hard voice. “It’s better to be safe than to feel bad afterward.”“I get what you’re saying, but there’s really no need to take her to a doctor,” Gabe assured. “Besides, her condition was not something a typical doctor could help with. I somehow took care of it, so she’s going to wake up soon.”Stemmer told Mia to ask Gabe something, and she did. “A lightning strike can’t destroy an entire building, Gabe. I can’t help but believe that it’s done on purpose. Is there anything you’re not telling me?”Gabe

    “Whoever manages to defeat that ‘worthless’ brat will get to keep the omega system.”The moment Gabriel Agnar uttered those last few words, all the nine standing members of the Jaguar squad rushed toward Gabe without a shred of hesitation.They were all elite warriors his grandfather had commanded, all intent on claiming the power that lay still dormant within Gabe."Stand down, brat," the third ranker Bennie called out, her voice layered with authority. "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.
