VKBoyThese past four days have been rather difficult for me because of cold, headache, cough, typhoid, and on top of that, dengue attacking together. Luckily, I was able to get tested early, otherwise, things would have gotten worse because I was unable to even stand or sit for long three days back. My platelets were starting to drop back then. I'm taking medications now. I still haven't recovered that much, but I'm healthy enough to squeeze a chapter out. Thanks for your patience because I know that I've slowed the posting rate recently. I will pick it up once I find the right balance between the ongoing novels. Either way, this novel is about 70 percent complete. Major conflicts are incoming. I hope the chapters will be thrilling enough for you to remember them for a long time. Cheers. And be safe.

“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

Sevyn woke up in Russell’s estate.To her puzzlement, she didn’t remember sleeping here, but she wasn’t too shocked because she trusted Mia, though she didn’t trust Gabe.Because Mia was around, she believed that Gabe wouldn’t have done anything stupid while she was sleeping.Nevertheless, Sevyn felt like her head was heavy and hurting a bit.Mia timely brought a big cup of coffee and offered it to her. “Drink it, and you’ll feel better.” She didn’t tell her that the coffee was made by Gabe who was in the kitchen.“I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have fallen asleep here,” Sevyn said, grabbing the cup and enjoying the fragrance.“Don’t mind it,” Mia smiled pleasantly. “You can stay here for a few days if you want.”“No, no, I can’t take advantage of your good heart,” Sevyn said.Just then, a fat young woman entered the building. Sevyn recognized her because she was their classmate Cynthia, the woman who used to eat the pencils and erasers of her classmates when she was little. If anybody bother

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
