The pretty pink lips saturated with the tequila were so sweet, Gabe’s mouth and mind melted in tandem. This was not a gentle kiss but a wild one as she brushed her pair of lips against his lips and painted them with a lovely flavor no lipstick could ever hope to replicate.

And then she moved on to his face, his straight nose, his not-so-strong but beautiful chin, followed by his strong neck. And then she returned to his lips, breathing life into his lungs.

Every fiber of his being jumped in ecstasy.

It was a fairytale kiss.

It felt amazing.

It was way more romantic than anything he had ever experienced. He totally wanted this to continue and have a fairytale ending, but then Rica stopped kissing all of a sudden and had this slightly amused grin on her face.

“May this give you enough strength to win the battle tomorrow…” she ran her forefinger down his face. “If you do succeed, then I’ll give you a fitting reward.”

Gabe swallowed his breath and smiled. “Rica…”

    A skin-colored taxi stopped at Gabe’s home, and he stepped out and thanked the driver and was about to tip him, but the driver said it was not necessary. Even though Gabe insisted, the driver refused to take the money and left.“I’ve never seen a worker refuse a tip like this,” Gabe wondered. “He didn’t look like he’s in a bad mood.”[You were going to give him ten dollars, so of course he’d not be interested.] Systa barked.“Huh?” Gabe raised his voice. “Ten dollars isn’t a small amount!”[Tell that to the driver, not me! Next time, give him a thousand dollar note.]Gabe’s jaw dropped. “Yeah, so I can become a beggar within a year, right?”[Being an alpha doesn’t just mean fighting with your fists.] Systa patiently explained. [You will need to win the hearts of those who are serving you in the same way you’ll beat the crap out of those who betray you! So, you should be magnanimous when it comes to giving money to others.

    Two black SUVs stopped outside Gabe’s house.Eight tall, heavy men dressed in black suits stepped out. If they were to stand side by side, they would cover the width of the street and some more. One of them was more fat than he was muscular. It was Cynthia’s one and only brother, Daniel Foster, the infamous bully back in Gabe’s school days.He used to forcefully take anything from other students whether it be pens or books or even lunch boxes. One of the school teachers was his uncle, so nobody dared to complain about Daniel back then.“See if that little punk is inside,” Daniel lit up a cigar. “If he is, then drag his ugly little ass out.”“Yes, Brother.” Two of the men in black suits started walking toward the house.Inside the house.“As long as I’m around, I won’t let you cry,” Gabe assured his aunt. “Even if I’m married, I will take care of you. Even if you’re married, I’ll take care of you.”“You say like that, but things will change after you get married, whether you like it or

    Daniel and the five other big guys with him were waiting outside, expecting to see Gabe dragged out.However, the one that pushed the curtain aside and stepped out was Gabe and Gabe alone.It had been a while since Daniel had seen Gabe, so Gabe looked a bit more manlier than he had expected.“Daniel Foster…” Gabe stood at the entrance and said loudly, showing that he was not afraid of him.“Gabriel…” Daniel uttered. “It seems the nickname ‘Gabe’ that our science teacher gave you has become your main name now?”“I know why you came here, Daniel, but it was your sister who first messed with my car. What I did in return was me really going easy on her. If you’re really her brother then you should discipline your sister instead of coming here. Turn back and leave, and I’ll forget this ever happened.”“This bastard dares to threaten me?” Daniel growled. “Beat the crap out of him!”The five big guys quickly acted and tried to surround Gabe, but Gabe didn’t let them.

    A few minutes earlier.Mia has had a headache since morning. She had taken three tablets and drank coffee four times, but the piercing pain in her head wasn’t going down. The reason was probably because she couldn’t sleep well last night. A part of her wanted to call Kiera and confront her for what she had done, but another part of her just wanted to forget it because it was her fault to get tricked by Kiera.She might have lost hundreds of thousands of dollars because of Kiera, but she didn’t want to have anything to do with Kiera anymore. She wanted to completely forget about the fact that Kiera even existed in this world. However, shoving the whole incident with Kiera under the mat for her own sake was proving anything but easy.All her passion toward making designs evaporated, and she couldn’t find it in herself to even look at any design anymore.As if what she was going through wasn’t enough, things in her house weren’t going good, either.Carrie and Freddy began to quarrel in t

    Bart took out a yellow flower from his pocket. “Mia, please take this system and use its power to find where my system is.”“W-What?” Mia’s heart skipped many beats.“I need to find out where it is before it’s too late,” Bart requested. “Please, do this one thing for me.”Mia couldn’t tell whether he was telling the truth or not. There were many reasons why she had refused to have the Luna system, but one of the main reasons was that it was given by Bart.Bart was the kind of man who’d give you one dollar only if he expected to receive ten dollars from you. If she were to take something like a luna system from Bart, then it wouldn’t be a stretch to say that he’d want to have a say in everything she did for the rest of her life. And of course, he’d also demand her to marry him. Considering all these things, Mia returned the system before she even fully understood what these systems were.But right now, Bart was asking her to use the system for finding his system, which he somehow lost?

    A few minutes earlier.“Haa!” Gabe broke Daniel’s ankle by twisting his foot with all his strength.Daniel screamed like a little swine.Gabe pulled Daniel’s leg so that the big guy crashed down. He locked Daniel’s leg with his own leg and then locked Daniel’s face with his arms like a wrestler and then squeezed it so hard Daniel’s jaw cracked.The five other big guys, who were watching, started to come for help, but Gabe growled, “Tell them to stay back!” He put more pressure into the face lock and also bent Daniel’s leg backward.Daniel screamed so loudly and also yelled at the other guys to stay back, afraid that his neck might just break.“If you ever come to my house and even fall in my eyes roaming in this neighborhood,” Gabe warned in a chilling voice, “then I’m going to make you eat your own shit. You understand?”“I understand,” Daniel replied while crying so hard he frothed at the mouth.Gabe let go of him. “Get lost, Daniel. Tell your sister to stay away from me, or I’ll be

    Bart fell on the neighbor’s roof.Gabe was running forward, seemingly to jump onto the neighbor’s roof, but Mia stopped him. “That’s enough. You are bleeding.” She used her scarf to tightly wrap it around his head.“I have to break his bones, Mia. Otherwise, he’s going to attack you again,” Gabe said in a shaky voice because his whole head was hurting.“Look, he’s not getting up,” Mia said. Bart had indeed lost his consciousness. “We’ll deal with him later. First, you should get treated.” She grabbed her phone with her bloody hands and dialed for an ambulance, but he stopped her.“There’s no need. This wound will heal by itself,” he said.“Huh?” Mia looked at him as if a screw in his head had gone loose.“Can you close your eyes for a few seconds?” he asked.“Why?” Mia looked confused. Just what reason could he have for him to ask such a question?“Please,” he softly said.Mia quickly shut her eyes.Gabe then turned away from her and took out the copper ring from his underwear before

    “Is it true that Daniel Foster got beaten by someone?”“He broke his ankle and has wounds all over his body, but he said he fell from the stairs.”“Falling from stairs will break the head. Not the ankle, right?”“Yeah, I also think that he’s lying. Someone probably gave him a hell of a beating.”The people in the neighborhood where Cynthia lived kept talking about Daniel. He didn’t have a particularly good image because he mostly showed off in front of others. And he also was a stingy guy who wouldn’t ever pay a penny when dating someone. In fact, all the girls that dated him ended up paying for what he ate. Naturally, he didn’t have a good image in the youth circles.“Gabe…” Cynthia was gritting her teeth like never before. “How dare you humiliate my brother like this?” Ever since the incident happened, Daniel had locked himself in his room and wasn’t letting anyone inside. He didn’t even go to the hospital to get his leg treated. “I can’t let you off after what you did to my brother

    “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

    “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

A shockwave burst through his chest and ripped the back of Gabe’s shirt in the shape of Zephyr's palm.Gabe coughed out a lot of blood, and his eyes nearly turned white. He was about to fall back.Zephyr caught Gabe’s throat and squeezed it. “If I kill you, then the Alpha System will be ours.”“Gabe!” Mia ran toward him. “No!”“Where do you think you’re running?” Pixie, the number five, blurted. Her green hair extended forth like tree vines and sought to capture Mia.Mia moved swiftly and dodged a few vines, but the hair grew branches like trees, and they were sharp enough to pierce through Mia’s body.Her torso and limbs were riddled with many thin holes.She bled from the nose and mouth and couldn’t move at all. She felt completely frozen.Pixie pulled the hair out and retracted them. Mia fell to her knees.Seeing all this, Gabe’s blood thrummed beneath his skin. His heart pounded with the c

    In ancient times, serpents had wings and feet, and they were called by many names. One of those kinds were also called Dragons.So, dragons were indeed serpents with wings and legs. Even in the modern day, dragons were worshiped in some places. Some martial arts were derived from dragons, too.However, Alleria’s martial arts were not related to dragons but of a different serpent kind, whose existence had been erased from history..When Alleria was young, she spent her time in the woods, and the most difficult enemies she faced were the monstrous serpents that lived in that forest. This made her wonder just how much stronger would the serpents be if they had legs, too, as they did in the past.This led Alleria to search through her clan’s library and find the ancient serpent art books. And she picked one that she believed would be the most challenging.And thanks to her collective efforts, she managed to become the head of one of the Eight Enigma Squads, the Serpent Squad.The Ancient S

    Alleria was sent flying through multiple walls, and she ended up crashing into the tables of the precious customers.“That hurts…” Alleria’s cheek bruised, and she bled from a corner of her mouth.“W-Who are you?” The customers were all shocked because this woman was wearing armor underneath her cloak, and there was even a short sword at her waist. “Are you a cosplayer?”“Who was that little girl?” Alleria got back up, looking quite irritated because her cloak was dirtied by the food, so she had to remove it. She looked sturdy despite her age, and she was nearly six feet tall. Many men in that hall hadn’t seen such a well-built woman with attractive looks like that before. “Call herself as my grandmother,” she cracked her neck, releasing the gas bubbles from the joints in her spine, “let’s see if you’ve really got what it takes to utter such words.”She rushed into the bathroom, but to her surprise, Systa and Nicole were gone.“What?” Alleria frowned. “I didn’t see them leave.

The little girl was struggling until seconds ago, and she’s fine now? Something didn’t feel right. Whether Systa was playing games or not, Nicole didn’t want to take the risk. “I’m taking you to the toilet room once.”“Ugh,” Systa hissed at her. “Listen to me.”Nicole was startled. “Did you just hiss at me? And why are you gritting your teeth?”“Because you don’t understand the trouble that you’re in!” Systa blurted. “Driver, turn the car around and get going.”The driver, however, looked at her with a silly expression as if Systa was not the one who’s going to pay him for the ride.Systa didn’t like that the driver was treating her as a little girl. She wished she could show her powers to him, but because of Nicole, she had to hold herself back.“Can you wait here for half an hour for us?” Nicole

So, I feel like keeping you with me for as long as possible.”“S-Stop pulling my cheeks!” Systa found it annoying because her skin was not perfectly authentic human-standard.“Stop acting like that,” Nicole stopped pulling the cheek and gently rubbed it. “You’re a girl, so you’re going to raise kids one day.

    “It’s one thing that James lost, but for Atarah to lose to this brat…” The number one ranker of the Jaguar Squad, Stark, spoke. “This is quite shameful.”“Indeed,” Fang, the second ranker, opined. “I feel a little embarrassed since I’ve trained James for over a month now. For him to lose without even taking an opponent’s limb is quite disappointing. I hope he’s not dead.”“James is the last ranker, the number 10 of the squad,” the zeroth ranker and the head of the Jaguar Squad, Zephyr, replied. He had a sharp mustache and was cleanly shaven. “He’s the weakest, but Atarah is the ranked fourth in the squad, and she let her younger comrade lose. So, she failed both as a teammate and as an individual fighter. She needs to be punished for her mistakes later. But for now…” He glanced at the number five ranker, who was a green-headed female, Pixie.Pixie stepped forth and treated Atarah’s injury with her vivre.
