Nicole woke up the next morning, and her heartbeat spiked suddenly when she found herself unable to get out of bed right away. It immediately reminded her of her sick times when she would struggle to just get off the bed.

But then, she soon realized that it was more of a tiredness in the body than sickness. And she was able to sit up.

However, Nicole did not understand why she was at the local store, and Leona quickly came over and told her what happened.

“Boss and his wife went out on important work, and they told me to take care of you,” Leona said. “By the way, did you know that your house has been destroyed?”

Nicole didn’t understand that statement for a second. “My house?”

“Yes, a lightning struck, and your house collapsed,” Leona described it by making explosive noises with her mouth. “Boss managed to bring you out in time, or you might not have made it.”

“By Boss, you mean… my son Gabe, right?” Nicole asked just for clarification.

“Yes. He brought you here and then got yo

    Nick didn’t get out of his seat, but he looked surprised and puzzled to say the least. His eyes gained coldness as he watched Gabe sit across the table. Mia also sat next to him.“You might be wondering why I came here, but…” Gabe spoke, “why don’t you take a look at this first?” He pushed a pendrive forward on the desk.“A thumbdrive?” Nick looked at his laptop screen. Big Boss nodded. Nick thought that Gabe didn’t know that he was talking to Big Boss right now. He plugged the pendrive in and viewed its contents on a shared window so that Big Boss could also see the information simultaneously.As Nick opened one file after another, beads of sweat fought for places on his forehead.Big Boss’ eyes bulged out through his mask as he saw the videos of all the nasty things the people in the vampire organization had done. Whether it be the rituals of killing the kidnapped people, or the footage of the human-killing games the vampires played, all these videos would create havoc around the wo

    Russell, the owner of Tuna Waves restaurant, received an invitation card, which he showed to his wife because both of them received it.“A get-together party?” Jessica was initially happy, but not after seeing the name of the person that was inviting them. “N-Natasha? D-Did she send you this invitation card?”“Yes, through courier,” Russell said. “I don’t know what she’s up to, but I think it’s not worth going to this reunion.”Jessica didn’t ask why because she knew how much he had to go through because of Natasha a few years back.“It’s not just because of her, but you know, we’re not the same anymore,” Russell said. “If we go now, and our classmates look at us with eyes of envy… I’d rather remember them through my school memories.”“If you don’t want to be affected in that way, then you don’t have to come,” she said.“Wait, you’re thinking of going?”“It doesn’t hurt to just go and talk with them once, right?” Jessica said. “I promise you I won’t tell them any of your secrets.”“Do

    “Why don’t you and your mom stay at my house?” Mia asked Gabe. Both of them were standing in front of the grocery store.“I can give you many reasons, but you’ll be hurt by them, so…” Gabe said.“D-Do you think they’ll poison you or something?” Mia hesitantly asked.Gabe shrugged.“They are not good people, but I don’t think they’re criminals,” Mia said.“I can risk living there for you, but I can’t risk my mom living with them,” Gabe was as frank with her as possible. “She’s already been through a lot. I don’t want her to experience unnecessary family drama now.”“...I understand,” Mia didn’t press him regarding this anymore. “But where are you going to stay?”“Mom wants to build a new house here. It will take a couple of months even if we get it done fast,” Gabe said. “Until then, we’ll live at Zuri’s house.”“Z-Zuri’s house?” Mia didn’t know what to say because she knew that Zuri died. “I-Isn’t it dangerous to live there? Also, what will the people think? What will your mom think?”

    It happened in the blink of an eye. The truck dashed past the vision of Nicole and Mia in a second, throwing Gabe into the distance, sinking the hearts of women down to their stomachs.As Mia and Nicole ran to where Gabe was sent flying, Jessica stood in shock, still unable to process what just happened.The driver had shouted and moved out of the way because there was no time, and then Gabe pulled her out of the truck’s path just in time. But in doing so, he couldn’t escape and got hit by the vehicle.The truck didn’t stop and dashed away, but seeing how her limousine was utterly destroyed, three-fourths of it starting from the back, Jessica didn’t think there was even a slight chance of Gabe surviving it. After all, just the sheer impact from such a fast moving vehicle could have likely stopped his heart, she thought.But then, as Mia and Nicole ran over to Gabe, he was already getting up to his feet, which shocked both of them.Nicole was also crying. “Gabriel!” she began to check

    A few minutes earlier. Russell was reading a report in his office in Tuna Waves. It was a report that contained details on plastics. “They are filled with estrogenic chemicals, and are bending the genders of males slowly by reducing their sex drive, making them infertile, giving them boobs, and not to forget, cancer. This is pretty crazy…” Russell couldn’t even read the full report because it was so horrific. “I was wondering why there were so many effeminized men these days, but it seems that there’s a darker truth behind all this. Just how many people store water in plastic bottles and drink every day not realizing how dangerous they are? If just the plastics can do so much harm, then what about all the other chemicals that are polluting the food, water, and air?” Just thinking about it put a significant burden on his heart. “I had the research done after Chef Nicole told me that plastic chopping boards are not safe for the health of the customers… But now, I’ve stumbled onto a

    The doctors made Gabe take so many tests that he got sick and tired of it. When a nurse asked him to pee in a bottle so they’d examine his urine, Gabe had enough of it.“I’m totally fine!” she yelled and then ran away from them. Many nurses and doctors chased him, but he was very good at evading them. Nevertheless, he couldn’t leave the hospital because Nicole and Mia were still there. And Nicole told him to listen to the doctors.Gabe whispered to her, “Mom, your health didn’t improve because of doctors like these. Don’t forget that.”Nicole was surprised to hear that. Now that she thought about it, what was the liquid that he injected her with that her health improved overnight? She wanted to know the answers, but Gabe didn’t tell her yet, so she didn’t pressure him, either.In the end, Gabe had to take more tests to please Nicole. While Gabe was worried what the doctors would make of his blood, the test results came as normal, relieving him.As Gabe and others were living, Russell

    “Your father is innocent,” Gabe said, “but I believe that someone might be forcing your dad to do this.”Jessica looked at her dad who then frowned visibly. She stepped closer to him, but Russell intervened and kept her a few feet away. Russell looked at Gabe. “How can you say that he’s not the one behind the wheel when there’s clear footage?”“If someone were to wear a skin mask that looks like Jessica’s dad and then drives the vehicle and attempts to kill Jessica….” Gabe slowly uttered so that his words would penetrate deeper into those that were hearing, “then they can get away by putting the blame on her dad. But because Jessica survived, it’s possible that they approached her dad and threatened him to act like he’s the criminal.”Gabe’s words made a great lot of sense to Russell and Jessica. To add to that, Jessica’s dad opened his mouth and said, “They seem like very dangerous people, Jessica. I thought it was better that I go to jail for now, and then contact you and your husba

    At a spa called Rhapsodia.“Y-You want me to work here in a spa?” a girl looked shocked as she was talking with an agent. “But this isn’t what you promised. You told me you’d get me a tech job.”“There’s no vacancy there, so I brought you here. This is a family spa, so nothing shady happens here,” he told her and took her inside to meet with the manager who was Derek Walker, the younger brother of Jessica.“Will I earn well in this spa?” she asked Derek.“Haha, if you work as a waiter in a restaurant, you’ll only get ten to fifteen dollars an hour,” Derek said. “But here you’ll earn anywhere between twenty to fifty dollars depending on your experience and client preference.”“F-Fifty dollar per hour?” the girl was shocked. “Who would pay fifty dollars just for massaging? I’m sure the clients will ask for kisses or other strange things, right?”“No, Miss,” Derek patiently explained. “Don’t compare my spa with others. I don’t own multiple spas like others do. I only have this one spa. A

    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.
