System Within: Million Dollars From Today CHAPTER 459
“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

Ulmer was only a few years older than Gabe, and yet he had already been an emperor of one of the most mysterious places in the world, which was said to be technologically advanced and was believed to hold so many secrets of the world?This was something highly unbelievable to them. How can such a young man be the emperor of a great city? But this doubt then led them to realize that they never had such a doubt when they heard that Micheal was the emperor. Micheal was the same age as Gabriel, after all.“I know it’s hard to believe, but it is the truth,” Ulmer calmly stated. There was not even the slightest air of arrogance around him. He seemed very well composed and showed traces of being a ruler in the past, with the way he handled himself now.Just then, a lady in a long braid came to the backyard and served them food and drinks. She looked so pretty and homely. Mia couldn’t take her eyes off this woman’s braid.“She’s my wife Ayana,” Ulmer said as she sat down next to him. Her smil

“WHAT?” Gabe raised his voice.“Calm down, Gabe,” Mia quickly said and then looked at Ulmer. “We’ve told you our situation, and all the things we’ve been through. So, why can’t you give us some simple information on his brother? We’re not asking about some stranger. Michael is his brother. You yourself said that they both look similar. That’s because they’re twins who were born and got separated on the same day…”Ulmer’s expression slightly changed, but he was still crunching on the biscuit, which began to annoy Mia now.“Will you please stop eating and tell us something?” Mia asked.“It’s your family issue, so don’t drag me into this,” Ulmer said. “If you want to go to Syslon, I can take you there in a heartbeat. But… I want the assurance and surety that both of you will not steal a single system from that city or harm its citizens for no reason. Even if you think they’re being unreasonable, bear with it. I’m not telling you to not fight back if they attack you, but avoid any kind of

Gabe and Mia were brought back to Mia’s house by Ulmer.“I’ll come back tomorrow as you wished,” he told them. “I cannot help you on this trip, so you both will be having to deal with the things there while laying low. If they realize that you are outsiders, they won’t necessarily react negatively, but if an outsider also has a system that’s especially powerful, then you’ll be hunted down. After all, I was chased in the same way a few years back. The scars I have left on that city are yet to heal, so I’m taking a risk by sending you two. You are going there to find your parents and not for fighting. Don’t forget that, please.” Saying that he teleported away in the blink of an eye.“It’s not my first time seeing it, but it’s a cool ability,” Mia said. “I wish I had that ability. It’ll be pretty handy.”Gabe sat down on the couch, looking like a lot has been going on in his mind.“Why did you ask for a day?” Mia asked.“I think Systa won’t be able to accompany my mom while we go to Syslo

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
