Gabe bought a cot and placed it in the hall. However, after lying down on it, he felt uncomfortable. Sleeping on the floor seemed more comfortable to him.

So, he folded the bed and put it on the side.

“Why did you buy a bed if you're not going to use it?” Nicole asked. She looked different today because she had taken a bath, oiled and combed her own hair. She looked beautiful.

“I will use it, but right now, I feel more comfortable sleeping on the ground. I don’t even need a pillow to sleep,” he proudly said, but that only made his aunt feel sad.

Seeing her make a sad face, Gabe said, “Aunt, you look gorgeous today. Can I kiss you?”

“G-Gorgeous? Me?” Nicole was surprised. She didn’t believe it. How could someone in her late fifties be beautiful, she thought, but then Gabe planted a long kiss on her cheek. It almost brought a tear to her eyes.

“Gabe, if someone like me appears gorgeous to you, that means… you should really get a wife,” she teased him.

“A-Aunt!” Gabe’s face blushed like

    “Keke, let’s taste her lips one by one,” Gabe’s friends snickered sadistically, “or should we taste her together?” They didn’t care that others were watching. They had become too blinded by their lust that they were abusing their own classmates.The guy holding Mia’s both arms squeezed the arms hard, trying to intimidate and oppress her. The box and bottle in her hands fell. The box opened, and blueberries fell out. He unintentionally crushed on the berries while trying to kiss her. “Just once. Let me taste those lovely lips just once. Seeing how you’re shying away, I bet you’ve never kissed anyone before. Let me show you how it’s done. It will become useful to you in the future.”“No! Stop!” Mia kept moving her head back and away while struggling to free herself. She was never a strongly-built woman, so she was really afraid right now. There were people watching, but none of them stepped forward. The harsh reality broke her heart some more.“Hey,” Gabe’s cold voice echoed in the ears

    After Mia left, Gabe sat in the house with a dull expression.A part of him wanted to confess his feelings for her, but another part of him told him that if she had the least bit of romantic feelings toward him, she would have at least hugged him after he fought his four friends.Gabe could see care in her eyes, but he didn’t see any sort of romantic feelings. Why would she feel that way about someone who was cross-eyed? This was the reality he had to live with all his life.Nothing changed in this aspect even though he had acquired a system.He had already asked Systa if it was possible to cure his cross-eyes, but the system told him it wasn’t possible for any system to cure something a person was born with. Because he was 32 years old, it wouldn’t be possible to make his eyes right with surgery, either. Meaning, he would need to live with his cross-eyes for the rest of his life.He stayed down until Nicole came home.And he acted normal.“Gabe, I brought you fresh coconut water,” sh

    Nicole heard from Gabe that blueberries were Mia’s favorite, so Nicole made a dessert with blueberries and took it to her home in the evening.William, as usually, sat on the porch and was playing snake and ladder with Draco.“Remember the promise. If you win, I’ll buy you the gaming CD that you want,” William said, “but if I win, you’re going to keep playing with me until dinner.”“Grandpa!” Draco complained because he had been playing the game since afternoon and didn’t win a single time. By now, he realized that his grandfather was too good at rolling the dice and was toying with him throughout.Just then, Nicole entered through the gate. Neither Draco nor William recognized her because they had never seen her before.“Who are you, madam?” William paused the game and came over to meet her because she looked good to the eyes, even though her dress was shabby. Draco used this opportunity to run into the house.“I live in the neighboring house, sir,” Nicole put on a smile and politel

    Gabe came home at eight o’clock in the night and showed his aunt all the things he bought, from mobile to kitchen utensils, buckets, soap, and whatnot.“You don’t have to buy all these things, Gabe. Focus on saving the money,” she advised.“I will. I will,” he assured, giggling happily. Buying all these things for his aunt who could now use them made him really happy.“By the way…” she took out a small paper slip and gave it to him. On it was a phone number.“This…” he looked at her in shock. “Don’t tell me…”“Yes,” Nicole smiled and nodded. “If you’re uncomfortable with talking to her face-to-face, then you can start conversing with her on mobile. Once you both get closer, I’m sure you’ll feel more comfortable talking in front of her.”“Aunt… you’re my savior!” Gabe hugged and kissed her on both the cheeks. “Even if I give you the world, it would be too little!”“Haha,” Nicole chuckled quite a bit. “You should use your praising skills on Mia. It will make things easier for you.”“Wil

    Carrie’s son, Draco, brought his friends home. All of them were rich kids, and they didn’t quite like the fact that the home that Draco previously lived in was much bigger than the current one.Wanting to brag about himself more, Draco said, “We own multiple houses on this street. We’re just giving them for rent now.”“Then let’s explore those buildings now,” his friends wanted him to prove his words. Now, they were all seven-year-olds, and yet none of them removed their footwear before entering the home or climbing onto the couch.Draco’s heart skipped a beat. “Y-Yeah.” He remembered Gabe and thought it would be better to enter his house. He brought his friends with him and stopped right before Gabe’s house.“What?” his friends were shocked. “You’re saying you own this cheap house?”“Well, we bought everything at once, so we’re going to destroy this house soon,” Draco bragged. “We’ll build a big garage here.”“Let’s go inside and take a look,” his friends rushed in without even askin

    Gabe came home.What he didn’t know was that Venkat followed him in his car from a distance. “He still lives in that old, shitty house, and he says he earns at least 20,000 dollars per month? He’s definitely lying.”“But this company card seems real,” Nora was looking at the visiting card that Gabe had given them. It had his name, company, address and everything in it except his phone number because he didn’t buy a mobile by the time this card was made.“It’s not that difficult to make cards like these,” Venkat blurted. He had short, curly hair which he hated. He also envied Gabe for his cool, soft, and straight hair, but now, he could see that Gabe’s hair was thinning down, and it made him happy inside because his hair was still dense. However, when Gabe said that he earned at least 240,000 dollars per year, his heart shook. “If I pay ten dollars in a store, they’ll print cards like these.”“You think so?” Nora sort of believed Venkat’s words. After all, if Gabe really was earning as

    Mia hadn’t been the same ever since she heard from Bertha that Freddy was masturbating while watching her through the window. Since when was he doing it?

    People’s eyes were glued to the dark olive sports car with state-of-the-art mechanical technology and craftsmanship of unprecedented prestige and quality. This V-10 beast with its streamlined lines looked like it could cut through the air and tame the road, making everyone want to not just see it but touch it and ride it down the smoothest lane in the world. And Gabe of all people stepped out of such a dreamy vehicle whose engine sounds created sensations in the bodies of men and women alike. However, Gabe was dressed in a simple T-shirt and a three-fourth. He did not look like he owned a high-end sports car. How could this plain-looking young man own such a sculptured and sensual car? Not possible. Definitely not possible was what some thought, while some others wondered if it was really his car or not. Those who didn’t know him however didn’t have such exaggerated reactions. As people began to murmur behind Venkat’s back, saying that the car would be worth almost half as much as

    “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

    “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.

    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

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.
