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, Russell and everyone were having lunch on the balcony of the top floor of Tuna Waves, with a magnificent view of the skyscrapers built all around the Creed Zone.Russell just finished his phone call with his grandfather.“What did he say?” Gabe asked him.“He says he’ll also personally look into it,” Russell said. “But from his experience, he says that this was probably done by someone I might have offended recently in the past few months or year.”“Did you receive any threats or something like that?” Gabe asked.Russell shook his head. “I trust my best to even help those that were bad to me, so I’m not sure what kind of a nasty guy would go after my beloved wife.” He gently grabbed Jessica’s hand. The fact that she was pregnant right now only added to Russell’s worries. Even though he was confident of putting protection around Jessica, would that completely guarantee her safety? He wasn’t sure about it.“Someone who benefits from her death must have done this,” Nicole opined. “

“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

At Russell’s estate.Zephyr, the head of the Jaguar Squad, struck Gabe’s chest with his palm. 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.

Nicole was getting out of the taxi, but Systa held her hand and stopped her. “I’m not feeling the urgency anymore. Can we go somewhere else now?”Nicole couldn’t make sense of Systa’s words. 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

Nicole finished her work in the hotel and walked out with Systa who was in the form of a little girl now.“Why do you look like that?” Nicole asked her.“Look like what?” Systa asked her back.“Look like you’re weighing life's burdens on your shoulders?” Nicole said.“I was just thinking about something,” Systa replied.Nicole picked her up onto her waist.“W-What are you doing?” Systa quickly said, her cheeks flushing. “This is embarrassing. 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.

In Sciocidad, also known as the phantom city which floated through the sky also known as the lower heaven.At the border, Russell and Jessica were talking with a mature lady whose name they didn’t even know. All he knew was that she was the librarian of the clan that lived in this city.“My goal is to stop another world war from happening,” Russell told her. “If a war breaks out again, then the world really is going to end.”“Silly young man,” the lady named Uzza smiled, “the third world you were worrying about has long started and is still ongoing.”“W-What?” Russell was startled.“Food, air, water, and even people’s very blood has been polluted for decades now and it’s still happening today,” Uzza said. “We see a lot of chemicals being sprayed in the air through special jets. There are nanoparticles, graphene, and even parasites in those chemicals, which will mix with water, food, and can even enter people’s bodies through their skin.

“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. It was as though she was conducting surgery with her vivre, using it as needles to
