Hi, guys. I didn't enjoy writing this chapter, but it is what it is. Please don't give low-star rating just because Gabe lost in this chapter, lol. By the way, the fight hasn't finished yet. Maybe, you'll be left even more upset in the next couple of chapters? Or you maybe satisfied? Anyway, if you're interested, try reading my other novel Rise of the Urban God as it's going to be completed soon. Sorry for the persistent self-promotion. Thank you for your patience. Cheers.
“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
After losing his delivery driver job for thinking his female manager liked him and saying to her ‘I love you’, Gabe Brando was without a doubt experiencing the lowest, crappiest phase of his life. Being used by women, only to then be treated like trash was not new to Gabe, but it would still shock and break him every single time. At present, seated in the opposite row to him in the bus was Sheila, a divorced woman from the same neighborhood he lived in, and she had this ‘I’m too good for you’ look. Gabe couldn’t even make eye contact with her for long. He felt too inferior for many reasons. He was jobless. He had thin hair. He was slightly cross-eyed, and he didn’t consider himself handsome, either. He thought, no, he knew he had no chance even with a divorced woman who he also owed some money. Such was the state the no-teen-ever Gabe was in. “I washed my head today, and I lost more hair today,” he muttered under his breath. “Is it because I’m buying cheap shampoo, or is it just t
“Are you kidding me?” Gabe’s gall bladder almost loosened from hearing the system’s words. “How do you expect me to defeat that monster of a man? He only needs to punch me casually for me to hug the ground for good.”[Don’t you want a million dollars?]“I do, but give me some reasonable task,” Gabe blurted. “Not an impossible one.”[Host Gabe, you’re not cooperating, so I’ll be taking control over your body.]“Taking control? What are you…” Gabe’s body convulsed for a second. And then he was opening and closing his hands against his will. “Hey, stop this! It’s not funny!”His body turned around and entered the tent.The big guy was threatening the interviewer, “If you don’t give me this job, I’ll come to your house tonight and fuck your wife right before your eyes.”The interviewer trembled visibly. “Y-You’re overqualified for this job, Mr. Bart. W-What’s your reason for wanting to join as a mere museum’s guard? Are you planning to steal something from the museum?”“Just shut your tra
Mia Reyes.When Gabe was in sixth standard, Mia joined his school. She used to wear glasses and also cough most of the time because her health wasn’t good. Gabe immediately pitied her because his aunt’s health also wasn’t good. The other girls in the class teased and mocked Mia a lot in the beginning, but after the quarterly exams, Mia was ranked third in the class, and so most of their mouths naturally shut up.Mia wouldn’t talk much, but she would help anyone that asked her to help clarify their doubts on any subject.Gabe also went to her a few times, and she helped him. Gabe didn’t talk to her much other than a limited number of times, but he gave her something that would benefit her health every single time he met her, whether it be blueberries or beets. And he probably looked at her the most than anyone else in the class. He was highly innocent and utterly clueless about the type of feelings he had for her back then.After growing up, however, he realized that she was his first
Gabe didn’t cry for long, or rather he couldn’t. A couple of teenagers had entered the alley, kissing, and not at all caring that he was there. He had to leave when it should have been the opposite. The teenagers should have been the ones that left.He remembered that he didn’t even kiss a girl until he crossed 20. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to; it was just that he couldn’t.After going to the side, Gabe asked, “You said you’d give me a million dollars, right? Give me them now.”[You didn’t beat Bart. I did after taking over your body. Besides, I never said I’ll give you the money right away.]“What? Then when are you going to give me?” Gabe sounded frustrated.[You must level up and get stronger. Then I can give you everything in the world.]Gabe couldn’t fully trust the system’s words.Gabe then came home.It was a small house with no lawn or any extra space other than the four rooms: living room, a kitchen, a bathroom, and a bedroom.In the bedroom, there were two men currently
The system forced Gabe to spit, and the half-chewed chicken piece and bones flew out of his mouth and fell on top of his friends.Utterly shocked, Gabe thought everything was over. He thought they would gang up and beat him so badly he would take a few weeks to recover.However, to his shock and relief, they didn’t even react.They were already too drunk at that point to realize what had happened.“Whew…” Gabe breathed a sigh of relief but then scolded the system. “Are you trying to ruin my relationship with them?”[What sort of relationship is this? You should be alpha, not a freaking beta when you interact with others!] The system also sharply responded. [Don’t show me this type of behavior again, or you’ll lose my respect.]Gabe felt threatened by the system’s words. “But, didn’t Jesus tell us to be meek and humble?”[There’s a difference between being meek and miserable. Jesus is the alpha of alphas. He never begged people to believe in God. He commanded everyone to repent from th
Zack Newman.That was the name of Kiera’s fiance. According to what most of the public knew, he owned a digital marketing agency, and his estimated net worth was over 99 million dollars.As if that wasn’t enough to demoralize Gabe, he came to know that Zack was only 32 years old. How did Kiera whose family owned a grocery store was able to make such a rich, young man fall for her? Gabe had no idea.“He’s not much older than me, but he’s got ninety-nine freaking million dollars in the bank,” Gabe cursed himself. “I totally understand why Kiera wants to share her life with him.”[Stop sulking. I told you I will get you rich, so rich that Zack Newman will lick your boots for your attention. But right now, let’s go hunt some alphas. For starters, is there any popular bar in this neighborhood?]“Yeah, there is one that is not far from my house, but why do you want me to go there?”[Because we have some work to do. I’ll make you a much more distinguished person than Zack.]“Are you going to
Gabe’s mind went blank when he saw Mia. Her facial features were not something he could ever forget. Even with glasses on, he immediately recognized her.She went and stood behind the other people that had gotten out of the car and patiently waited.A lot of thoughts flooded through his mind, but he wanted to confirm about one thing, so he walked up to her and said, “H-Hi.”Mia glanced at him and recognized that she met him recently.“Do you remember me?” he asked.She nodded, though only very slightly. “The guy who fought Bart.”“Actually, he attacked me first,” he explained.“I guessed that might have been the case,” she said in a low voice. The movements she made were very delicate and attractive. “What are you doing here anyway?”“I live here,” Gabe pointed toward his house. “That’s my house.”“Oh…” Mia looked a little surprised and went silent.Gabe felt like she wasn’t inclined to continue the conversation. Not wanting to spoil her mood, he turned around but after taking two ste
