System Within: Million Dollars From Today CHAPTER 456
A few minutes earlier.While singing, Gabe was washing his hair and was also thinking about the blank check he had given to Luther.“Should I have written a million dollars on it instead?” he wondered. “A million dollars… everything started with that promise of a million dollars from Systa, but now I have so much more money. I thought my life would be settled with that much money, but life isn’t so straightforward. I have stepped into the supernatural, and it still feels like there’s so much more I need to know about the powers that be in this world. To think there are demons in this world… just thinking about it is giving me shivers. Does that mean that the figures in the mythology and all really used to exist. Some of them may be fake, but some of them have to be real.”Just then, Sevyn entered the house and began to talk to Mia, and Gabe first found it hard to believe that Sevyn was a smoker. “I don’t think it’s hard to quit watching porn, but smoking? That’s gotta be tough. I pers

A few minutes later.Gabe came downstairs, looking fresh. Sevyn was a bit surprised to see him. He looked so young, fresh, and different. His thick neck supporting his long face made him look masculine yet cute.Gabe, who was confident a few seconds ago, didn’t feel as confident after actually getting closer to Sevyn.“It’s still hard to believe that you married this guy who chased after almost every girl in the class,” Sevyn openly commented.“He didn’t chase after me, though,” Mia replied.“But you must have seen him do chores to other women, right?” Sevyn said. “He’d sharpen pencils for Natasha and others. I’m sure she even polished the shoes of some girls a few times. He’d carry their bags and baskets. Everyone used him like a slave back then. Even seniors and juniors treated him like he’s born to work for them.” She was looking at Gabe without blinking. “Are you still like that, Gabriel, or… do you still keep staring at every girl that passes by?”“N-No,” Gabe embarrassedly said.

The moment Mia saw the four strange men at the door, she looked at Gabe. He quickly turned Sevyn’s head by the chin, startling her.“What are you…” While Sevyn was taken by surprise, Mia snapped her fingers, and the four men found themselves inside a desert with not a single tree or plant in sight. There weren’t even any clouds as far as they could see. And it was brutally hot.At the same time, Sevyn was also taken into another dream world, which continued exactly where it cut off in the real world.“What are you…” Sevyn looked at Gabe in a bit of a shock. She swiftly slapped Gabe’s hand away.“See, you got angry so easily,” Gabe said. “That means the chances of you being possessed are not low.”“Huh? What sort of stupid logic is that?” Sevyn snorted out hot air through her nose. “Aren’t you just using an excuse to touch me? And that, too, right in front of Mia!” She looked questioningly at Mia. “Why aren’t you saying anything?”“He didn’t mean anything wrong,” Mia said.Sveyn couldn

“Millions of dollars… or a life full of misery,” the four masked men cackled in a subdued manner. “You choose.”Gabe and Mia both had systems, and both of them were now capable of telling if the other person was lying or not. So, they couldn’t move right now.“What do you people—” Mia was saying, but Gabe raised his hand and told her to stop. “What’s wrong?”“Asking questions is not how you should proceed with these kinds of people,” Gabe told her and stepped forward. “The more you give in, the more they take from you.”“Take another step forward, and I’ll break an arm,” the one in the black dress warned. He even started twisting the arm of the doll to an extent.“My family is safe. I know that much,” Gabe replied. “As for my friends… I don’t have any friends that I will bawl my eyes out because of their death. So, you can go ahead and break the arms or neck or whatever you want.” He began to crack his knuckles. “However…” The wind all around suddenly got heavier and choked them. “Don’

“Don’t you want to know where your brother is right now?”Gabe frowned. “Where is he?”[Don’t listen to her.] Systa quickly said. [It’s not Sevyn or your mother talking. It’s some random demon.]Gabe gritted his teeth. “How would a demon know about my past?”[That’s a valid question. Obviously, they are spirits and have been living for a long time, so they have got a big network among themselves.] Systa opined. [I’m not really knowledgeable about the spirit realm, but I do know that nothing good will come out of dabbling with those spirits. In the end, they’ll just want to steal your soul.]Gabe still kept his grip on her wrist tight. He didn’t even blink as he was fully scrutinizing her expression. She looked angry and happy. It looked like her face might boil and look like another person’s face. This was something he had never seen before. It was quite bothersome, but he refused to show weakness in front of his wife, especially when a lot of things were at stake.“Why are you hurtin

“Your body is much better than this one,” Sevyn sent flying kisses to Mia. “Why don’t you let me take over your body? In return, I will teach you how to use the Luna system.”“Do I look like such a big fool to you?” Mia coldly stared back at her. “I have my system to help me get used to it. If I encounter any trouble, I have Gabe to help, too. So, there’s just no need for me to listen to your advice. Even if there’s a need, I wouldn’t trust anything that comes out of a demon’s mouth!”“All demons are not evil,” Sevyn replied with a smile. “Some of them are quite honest and kind and loving. Over the years, we’ve helped many people master these systems, whether you believe it or not. Otherwise, how would I be able to confidently say that I can teach you? You can ask your system if you want.”“Is what she’s saying true?” Mia asked Stemmer.{It’s only half-true.} Stemmer replied. {There were indeed times when they helped the system users, but in the end, they always brought harm to the us

“Syslon, the mysterious city of systems, is a place that even a demon like me doesn’t dare to enter,” the demon told, shivering like a squirrel’s tail. “Not because the people there are physically strong like you, but because of the technologies and the systems they use. Some of them are very sensitive to spirits, and they can imprison us like you did now.”“I’m not interested in what kind of a place Syslon is,” Gabe coldly said, still trying to intimidate the demon so he could get the important information. “Tell me about my family members. My parents.”“Your parents’ past is shrouded in one big mystery,” the demon said in a dramatic manner, annoying Gabe on purpose. “I do know that they were forcibly taken away to Syslon, but I don’t know what happened to them afterward.”Gabe gritted his teeth. “Are you taking me for a joke?” His fists were covered in blue lightning.“No, wait, kid,” the demon quickly said, backing away to the other side of the prison. “I might not know about your

In Ambience high school.A man in his early thirties was teaching students during science class. “Our bodies are always changing. Physically, we’re not the same as we were yesterday, and we won’t be the same tomorrow, either. We’re electric beings. Our flesh and bones keep changing every day. Old cells die, and new cells are born with greater resilience and adaptation skills.”“Isn’t this just evolution, teacher?” one of the students asked.“No, it’s just adaptation,” he replied, adjusting his glasses a little. “There’s no proof for the theory of evolution, and like the name says, it’s still just a theory.”“Why is it not evolution but adaptation, teacher?” another student asked. “What’s the difference?”“If you throw a kid into a swimming pool again and again, he’ll learn how to swim eventually,” he stated. “But if you throw him off the cliff? No matter how many times you do it, he’ll never be able to fly. Do you understand the difference now? We humans grow and develop with effort, b

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
