System Within: Million Dollars From Today CHAPTER 411
Inside a private jet plane that was flying over forty thousand feet high from the ground, Russell and Jessica were having an arm-wrestling match with their little daughter Nora being the referee. She put her hand on Russell’s arm, which made Jessica angry.“Your dad already has the advantage,” Jessica helplessly laughed. “If you take his side, then I’m going to lose for sure. Why don’t you look out through the window? I just saw a dragon fly by.”“Eh? A dragon?” Nora quickly looked out through the window. Her eyes searched for anything that was flying. At first, she didn’t find anything, but when her eyes looked up, she noticed a few dozen figures dashing through the sky at a great speed. Her heart sank into her stomach for a second. She quickly turned and tapped her dad’s shoulder. “Dad, I think I saw ghosts. Lots of them.”“Haha,” Jessica laughed. “You’re trying to be cheeky now?”“I really saw them,” Nora said. “They were flying faster than our plane!”“Ah-huh,” Jessica smiled and

The jet crossed 60,000 ft and kept going higher, and the pilot couldn’t do anything about it.“T-The readings are all going crazy,” the pilot was sweating. He pressed very many switches, but none of them responded as he wanted. “W-What the hell is happening?”Their jet went higher and higher and soon reached nearly 100,000 ft. But they couldn’t even see the ground right now because of the layer of cloud completely covering their view, not that they cared to see the earth at this moment.After going higher for a little longer, the jet came to standstill.For that second, it was peaceful inside the jet plane, but then the jet immediately fell in a projectile manner.The pilot and everyone else felt like they were floating because they were above the jet stream now, and the air resistance was quite low. Parachuting at this height would be impossible to do as there would be no stability to properly control the parachute with little resistance offered by the winds.The pilot was just prayi

Nearly 1500 days ago, Dahlia and her friend busted a child-trafficking ring and managed to save over 3000 children. And they were having trouble with finding the addresses of some of these kids as they were either too young or too broken to remember anything.At that time, Russell helped find their homes with the hacking system and also sent them home in private jets.And what Dahlia liked about it was that Russell didn’t let the news leak to the media afterward, either. He used the hacking system to suppress all the information about it. He never boasted about that incident, even though he could easily have used that to greatly boost his public image. Whether he was thinking about the privacy of the children or he had some other reason, it didn’t matter as he did a good thing in the end.On top of that, Russell gave the hacking system back to them without them having to ask for it, so Russell’s name was included in the records of the phantom island as Russell ‘Rich’ Lynn, not because

“It is possible,” Dahlia replied. “But we don’t plan to destroy them all until we get all of them in our hands. Not all systems are bad, but most of them don’t have the ability to think like humans. They act like animals and react as per how they’re programmed. You can call it artificial instinct. If you step on a dog’s tail, it will try to attack you, even though you didn’t do it on purpose. The same is the case with most systems. Though, over time, they improved and became better, like with the Alpha System, but that’s only because they have probably rewrote or upgraded their own code to suit the changing times.”“They are capable of doing that?” Russell was startled.“Some of them are indeed capable of rewriting their own code,” Dahlia said. “Either way, they’re dangerous to humanity, no matter whose hands they’re in as they try to take control of their hosts most of the time. The reason the hacking system didn’t try to hack you is because we made it rewrite its own code so that i

“Considering the things you’ve done, the council has decided to let your family stay here for as long as forty fortnights,” one of the council members spoke with Russell.“Thank you for your kindness,” Russell bowed his head before them. Nora mimicked him and also bowed to the elders.“What a good-mannered child,” the female elder picked her up. “What do you love to eat?”“I like fruits and sweets,” Nora said.“She’s got a sweet tooth like her mother,” Russell said.“I quit eating chocolates, though,” Jessica snorted.“What’s your favorite fruit?” the female elder asked Nora.“Bananas,” Nora didn’t even need to think.“Then let me take you to the plantation,” the female elder said and was taking her away.“Daddy,” Nora called for him. “Come on.”Russell pursed her lips.“You think she’ll be here without you?” Jessica said in a low voice. “That’s not going to happen.”“I will stay here for a few days then and convince her,” Russell said.“Good luck, but what about the pilot?” Jessica a

Gabe brought Mia and his friends over to Eco Waves, which used to be Tuna Waves until yesterday.Gabe ordered items that were on the menu but only those whose recipes were given by his mother.“My mom is a chef in this hotel, guys,” Gabe happily told them. “She’s good, so you won’t leave the table disappointed.”Nevertheless, Dave ordered prawns and lobster meat. Baazee ordered roast lamb chops. Victor ordered vegetarian food.Mia was the only one who didn’t order anything because she was looking forward to eating Nicole’s dishes like Gabe, and he silently appreciated that.“By the way, Mia,” Baazee spoke informally with her, “you used to wear glasses in school, right? Why are you not wearing them?”“I can look better without the glasses now,” Mia replied. “But I’m surprised that you remembered that I used to wear glasses.”“You used to wear big glasses, so of course, I remember that,” Baazee said. “Don’t take this negatively, but you looked much better in those glasses.”“Well… every

Gabe told his teammates to come to his home the next day so that he’d give them the things that would change their lives. By doing this, he was also giving them one night to think about it.Later on, when Gabe and Mia were going home, she asked him, “What if none of them show up?”“It’s fine. You can’t build a good team overnight,” Gabe said. “Even if they all come, it’d take time to gel with each other. As the leader, it’s my responsibility to keep peace within the team, and that’s my top most priority. We already have enough things bothering us from outside, and the last thing I want is someone within the team messing up our minds.”“Yeah, Baazee was a bit annoying in that regard.”“He grew up in a small house full of relatives, where they quarreled about every penny for an hour,” Gabe said. “So, he’s probably been influenced by them, especially his grandmother. If we give him some time, I think he’ll change himself.”“I hope so.”A few seconds passed.Gabe was driving in his mustan

“So, yeah, you can have four dates with different girls for 20 dollars,” he said.“Is that so?” Mia squinted her eyes. “You sound very experienced in this field.”Gabe’s heart skipped a beat as he realized that he spoke a little too much. “U-Ugh, not really. It was a long time ago when online dating was the growing trend. Now, I’m much more grounded. I don’t know if we can both drink coffee for five dollars anymore.”“Is that so?” Mia calmly said. “Then let’s stop at a cheap restaurant. If the price varies from what you said, then it means you’re telling the truth.”“A-Alright.” Gabe felt like he was in a bad mood. All he could do was stop at a small coffee shop that didn’t look like it was even painted in at least five to ten years. He stepped out as a tense man, but Mia was smiling.It was already night time.Both of them sat at a table. The chairs were also old and delicate. “This is definitely the place,” she said.As a waiter came to their table, she looked at Gabe, “You should m

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. Even though I’m covered

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. If you ever come across an opponent who wields that
