System Within: Million Dollars From Today CHAPTER 443
At eight in the morning.Ulf was eating grapes right outside the window. He stayed out of reach, just to annoy Kiera and Natasha even more. They were hurling curses at him, but he let them out through another ear.“I wish these were seeded grapes so that I would have spit at them,” Ulf said.Kiera and Natasha had enough and tried to bang the door together. The door was absurdly tough because it was made out of teak wood, and their shoulders hurt.“Haha,” Ulf laughed. “Do you want some grapes to replenish your strength?”“Yeah,” Kiera quickly said.“Then come out quickly,” Ulf replied.“Kugh, this little…” Kiera frothed at her mouth. “I’m going to kill you when I come out.”Ulf just pulled his eyelid down and teased them some more.Kiera felt utterly furious as well helpless. She and Natahsa had tried everything. They tried to persuade him, yelled at him, threatened him, lied to him, begged him, and did everything they could, but nothing worked. This was why they were profoundly frustr

Kiera and Natasha ran at Ulf like dinosaurs. He was playing with grass, and when he saw them coming at him, he stood and waved the blade of grass at them, causing a bit of gale to blow past them.Before they realized, their clothes were cut here and there.“Kya!” Kiera screamed and covered herself.“H-How did this happen?” Natasha gritted her teeth because her favorite blue jeans were cut up. She was about to attack Ulf again.“Do you want me to completely strip you?” Ulf warned her while holding the blade of grass in his hand.Natasha didn’t even believe for a second that he had cut her jeans with that grass, so she was about to attack him again, but Kiera stopped her.“Don’t,” Kiera grabbed Natasha and took her away. “Let’s first change into new clothes.”Natasha still waved her finger at Ulf. “I will break all of your teeth soon, brat. Just wait!”Ulf snorted. “Next time, I’ll shave your head in a way that your hair won’t grow again.”Meanwhile, inside the estate building.“Did you

A few hours later.Somewhere in Creed Zone, a vintage mustang stopped in front of a hair salon.“Why did we stop here?” Gabe looked at her. “Do you want to get a haircut?”“It’s for you, dude,” Mia said.“Me?” Gabe slightly frowned. “B-But I like my hair.”“No, it’s quite long,” she quickly said. “It’s covering your head, and the sides of your face, too.”“Yeah, but it feels good to me this way,” he reasoned.“No, you should get your haircut now,” Mia suggested, “so that your scalp can also breathe some air. If I wasn’t a woman, I’d get my haircut every month. You should be glad that you are a man. You can get your haircut as many times as you want. And it’s not like your hair won’t grow after you cut it. So, don’t complain.”“Fine,” Gabe said, “but if you give me a kiss, I’ll even get my head shaved if you want.”Mia was startled. “A kiss on the cheek, right?”“Your wish, Princess,” Gabe said, closing his eyes as he turned his face toward her.Mia looked around, making sure nobody

Though Gabe got a nice haircut, Mia only got her hair styled. Not a single strand of her hair was cut, which made Gabe a bit jealous of her.He pouted like a child and told her, “Why did only I get to cut my hair but you don’t?”“That’s because I’m a woman,” Mia replied. She felt like pulling his cheeks because his face looked big right now, and he looked really cute and kissable. But she was controlling herself for now as he was driving.“What’s a woman? What’s a man? Both have the same hair growing on their heads,” Gabe said. “It’s not like a woman’s hair is costly if it’s sold. If men grow their hair long, their hair will be sold for a great price, too.”“Haha, why are you so stuck on this?” she laughed. “If you want, I will get a short haircut, too.”“...No need. I like you with long hair,” he said without looking at her.She smiled and ran her fingers through her hair. “Do you like it when I wear a ponytail, or when I keep it loose?”“Both are good,” he quickly said. “Your hair i

As Gabe and Mia continued to walk, the grave that Gabe had seen a few seconds ago started having cracks form on top of it.Just then, Gabe was turning his head back, but then wind blew, and Mia’s hair hit his face. And he completely forgot about everything else.“Uh, Mia, I think you should keep your hair free like this,” Gabe said. “I think one’s hair needs to move around freely so that air can flow through to the scalp.”“Is that so? I’ll keep that in mind,” Mia wasn’t aware that she just managed to make Gabe’s heart race without even trying.Gabe didn’t care about anything else right now and walked right behind Mia, like her guardian as well as companion. Soon, they reached Mia’s parents’ graves.After seeing their graves, Gabe realized that he didn’t even remember the names of Mia’s parents because he hadn’t heard their names in a very long time. After all, their names weren’t written on their graves, but the words Lovey & Dovey, which Mia’s parents used to call each other.“Who’s

Seeing the skeletal hand breaking through the grave gave Mia pure horror. Her heart was already quaking, but then the grave broke open, and out of it rose skeletons who still had flesh covering their bodies here and there.Mia screamed even more and couldn’t even look at them. How could their parents who had died many years ago still have flesh on their bodies? Shouldn’t it have decomposed long ago? Just what was going on? Is this some kind of a nightmare she put herself in? If so, she badly wished to wake up from it.“Grr…” Both of her parents growled in a low voice.Gabe stepped to his right and stood in between Mia and her parents.“D-Don’t destroy them, Gabe,” Mia quickly said. “Beat them without hurting them.”“I don’t have such an ability, Mia,” Gabe replied. “But I think you’re capable of doing that. Make them hallucinate or something with your skill.”“I can’t do that,” Mia didn’t even open her eyes because she didn’t want to look at her parents like this.Just then, more grav

Gabe did not have any problem dealing with the undeads, except for two of them: Mia’s parents.They were especially aggressive toward him. And they even began to talk after their tongues regrew.“How dare a nobody like you marry our daughter!” Lovey shouted. “You are not even worthy of cleaning her boots! So, how can you think you can share the bed with her?”“M-Mother-in-law, Mia likes me, and..” Gabe blocked her clawing attack with his forearm. She was surprisingly very vigorous and robust. Her claws tore through his skin and flesh and made him bleed.Gabe frowned and backed away.“You didn’t even come to us and ask for our permission,” Dovey attacked him this time by punching the air. The shockwave traveled through the air and struck Gabe’s chest, pushing him back a few steps. A normal human would have had a hole in his heart after receiving that attack, but Gabe was only pushed back a couple of steps.[What the hell are you doing, Gabe!] Systa yelled at him.

Mia’s scream distracted Gabe just for a second. The clown-masked man ran away faster than any four-legged animal could.However, a clown-masked woman was sent flying in their direction.Seeing that, Gabe smiled in relief.The clown-masked man rushed to his partner who seemed to have been struck a severe blow to her chest. She was coughing blood and was barely able to keep her consciousness. “Hold on for a little bit,” he put her on her shoulders and began to dash away.Mia appeared in his path. He was about to swing his scythe, but Gabe closed in from behind like a predator, sending chills down the clown-masked man’s spine. Before he could change the direction of his attack back to Gabe, the opponent grabbed his head from behind and violently pressed him down to the ground.Gabe released a jolt of electricity, shocking both the clown-masked people. The woman lost consciousness, but her partner did not.Gabe ignored him for the time being and looked at Mia. “Why did you scream? I thoug

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

Bennie created a blue chain with her ‘vivre’ and threw it at Mia.Mia moved around to dodge it, but the chain traveled like a snake, bit on her shoulder, and dug its fangs into her body.Mia felt her energy being sucked away.“Stop struggling,” Bennie smirked. “We’ve been fighting before we learned how to walk properly. Did you think you could beat us because you were chosen by the luna system? From what I can see, you can’t even use it well. So, it’s only right that we take it from you.”As Mia’s energy was getting sucked away, yellow petal flowers began to form in front of her body.The flower slowly turned into a yellow rose.“Is that the luna system?” Bennie’s eyes lit up. “It does match the description I know of.” She pulled the chain and snatched the yellow flower, but Mia also grabbed the chain and didn’t let go. “Just give up already.” Bennie pulled the chain with all her strength.Mia roared, and the yellow rose burst into petals and duplicated themselves into thousands and t

“Cloud Step.”Zephyr’s body seemingly turned into fog and disappeared into thin air, startling both Gabe and Mia.Mia couldn’t even tell which direction he went, but Gabe rushed over to her and blocked a powerful attack of Zephyr.“Bane Jolt.” Zephyr cried out, releasing a poisonous purple energy through his fist.Gabe was getting pushed back.“Let me help you!” Mia stepped past Gabe and thrust a kick in Zephyr’s ribs.Zephyr’s angry gaze shifted to her. He pointed his left forefinger at her. “Bone Bullet.”A sharp bullet made out bone energy pierced through her abdomen.It was so painful she couldn’t even cry. She staggered back in shock.Before Zephyr could shoot another condensed energy bullet, Gabe caught that forefinger and snapped it.Frowning, Zephyr pulled his hand away, but to his shock, Gabe released lightning and roasted that finger at the same time.As a result, the finger got burned to crisp and separated from Zephyr’s body.Zephyr’s eyes widened as he wasn’t expecting th

Gabe held Mia in his arms and dashed away with all the power his legs could muster.“If only I could use that teleporting ability…” he was frustrated with the fact that his current level wasn’t enough to pull off such an ability even once.Nine members, like a pack of wolves chasing after two stray wolves, were after Gabe and Mia with the intention of killing them and getting their hands on the precious systems at any cost.However, the only problem they had was that Gabe was traveling on rooftops, and any major confrontation between both parties could destroy the buildings and disturb the citizens, even causing casualties in the process.Gabriel Agnar would severely punish them if innocent people were to get hurt in the process of acquiring systems, so the head of the Jaguar squad, Zephyr, cast a heavenly spell.It was almost like a magic spell, which condensed all the vapors around them and created a massive cloud at a ground level, which spread out for miles upon miles in every dir

“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
