[CONGRATULATIONS, ALEXANDER JANSEN! YOU HAVE CHOSEN LIFE AGAIN!]
[WAIT A MINUTE! THE SYSTEM IS SYNCHRONIZING...]
[15%]

[47%]
"Argh. Where am I?" Jansen asked as he held his head.
With a groan of pain, Jansen tried to get up from his position. He flinched briefly as he massaged the back of his aching head.
[89%]
[95%]
[100%... SUCCESS!]
[HEALTH POINT: 47% [DANGER]]
[PROCESSING PAIN HEALING]
[DONE!]
[HEALTH POINT: 100% [VERY HEALTHY]]
[CONGRATULATION! YOU HAVE BEEN GIVEN ONE POWER-ABILITY AS A GIFT!]
[POWER ABILITY: STRONG IMMUNITY]
[This power ability is a form of immunity that heals pain without the need for medicine. It will work automatically when you get attacked by half-human parasite monsters].
Jansen suddenly gasped in panic at the sight of a blue beam in front of his face. He spontaneously waved his hand repeatedly to repel the blue light. But his efforts were unsuccessful.
"Hey! What is this?! Gosh!" Jansen grumbled in annoyance and a bit of fear.
[Alexander Jansen! I introduce myself as the Power Ability System that will help you run your life in 2070]
Jansen furrowed his forehead with a very surprised expression.
"What? The year 2070?" asked Jansen who started to stop his hand movements.
[Your main task is to return to the time before you came here]
[The only way is for you to complete all the missions I give you. Those missions will give you points and various power abilities].
[Every time you complete a mission, you will increase your point level and power ability points]
[That way, you will reach the highest peak of God Levelling in this chaotic world]
"What is this guy talking about? Hey! Tell me who you are! Don't prank me with a light like this!" complained Jansen.
No matter how Jansen tried to shake his hand, the blue light was still there. Jansen looked around to see who had turned on the blue light.
"HELLO?!"
There was no response.
The curious Jansen finally stood up. Automatically the blue light of the system in front of his face disappeared.
At that moment, Jansen immediately realized the pain in the back of his head disappeared. Jansen repeatedly hit the back of his own head but there was still no pain.
"Oh? How can this pain disappear?" Jansen asked.
Jansen didn't really care about this.
Feeling very curious, Jansen immediately continued his steps towards the white light. Like sunlight at the end of the tunnel.
When his steps arrived at the end of the tunnel, Jansen was surprised to see abandoned buildings. Jansen spontaneously stopped his steps to look around.
The atmosphere was deserted, building debris scattered around the tunnel, several charred cars abandoned, and fences and plants that were completely damaged.
"What happened?" asked Jansen. "Wait, where am I?"
Jansen remembered that there were no abandoned areas like this in New York. Moreover, the buildings were abandoned, mossy, and almost completely filled with debris.
So where was Jansen?
"The voice I heard just now said 2070. Wait, is that..." Jansen stopped his steps for a moment.
Jansen was stunned for a moment.
"Am I in the year 2070? A cityscape like this? It's supposed to be the year of the advancement of human civilization," said an astonished Jansen.
Before Jansen could find the answer to his question, he heard a hissing sound. Jansen's whole body suddenly stiffened. The sound was getting closer and closer from the side.
"GRRRR..."
Jansen frowned after hearing a small growl. He seemed to recognize this kind of sound. Decades ago, while conducting research on half-human parasite monsters, he had heard the small growls of the first victims of the parasite virus.
A sound that signaled the victim was about to turn into a monster-or had already turned into one. But as Jansen recalls, the first victim of the monster was still locked up in the incubator room of his company's laboratory.
Why was it being heard outside now?
"GRRRR..."
The voice was getting closer. It felt like it was only a few meters away from her.
"Damn, there can't be monsters..." Jansen muttered.
Jansen immediately let out a rough sigh while placing both hands on his waist.
"Oh my god. If it's true-"
Before Jansen could finish his sentence, he heard the sound of the ceiling slamming. Along with that was the sound of a sizable bedebum.
Suddenly Jansen turned his gaze with a jolt of surprise. He glared to see a large creature with a human body crawling slowly. It was three meters tall. There were several legs dangling in the air.
Its posture almost resembled that of a spider. But the body shape at the center was truly a human. It's just that it's so big and hairy.
Jansen was stunned to see the monster in front of him. He could barely move. He didn't expect to see a monster like this.
"What kind of monster is this? I've never seen this monster before," Jansen said softly.
In his stunned state, a blue light appeared in front of his face.
[GIANT SPIDER MONSTER]
[LV. 3]
[THE MOTHER]
Jansen slowly moved back with a panicked look. Jansen was dumbfounded without being able to say anything.
'How can I face a monster this big? How?!' thought a terrified Jansen.
"GRROOAAMM!"
Jansen suddenly exclaimed with a jerk of his body, he jumped a few steps back to dodge. He was stunned to see the monster screaming open its mouth, showing slime from its canine teeth.
"Shit!" Jansen cursed.
Unable to fight back, Jansen decided to run. Even though he knew his efforts would be in vain.
"GRROAAAMM!"
"Ah! What should I do?" asked a confused Jansen as he ran away.
As he ran, in front of Jansen's face, the system's blue light showed writing.
[DO YOU NEED HELP?]
"I don't even know what to do!" Jansen said in exasperation.
[IF YOU NEED HELP, SAY HELP]
"Help!" Jansen said in the middle of running while looking back.
Every time the monster let out a loud roar, Jansen held his mouth to keep from screeching. He well remembered the results of his first monster research, monsters could feel more threatened at the sound of an enemy.
[CHOOSE THE HELP YOU NEED]
[MONSTER INFORMATION]
[HOW TO USE WEAPONS]
[HOW TO HIDE YOURSELF]
"Damn it! Why do you have to give me a choice!" cursed Jansen.
Jansen was breathing heavily. Meanwhile, the monster behind him was getting closer.
Finally, Jansen, who could not help but panic, immediately stepped aside. Hiding himself when he saw a gap in the rocks and three large tree trunks.
Jansen tried to catch his breath while covering his mouth. He closed his eyes and hoped silently that the monster wouldn't catch him.
"GRRR..."
Jansen heard a groan as he walked closer. It turned out that the monster was no longer running after him.
It was just that Jansen could see the silhouette of the monster's shadow taking a step.
"HEY, JELEK!"
Jansen heard someone's voice, he was somewhat surprised. But he tried to stay calm.
SRAKKK!
There was the scraping sound of a bow shooting out, then the sound of a monster growling in pain.
"You want another reward? Taste this!"
The monster could be heard screeching in pain. Then the sound of its big feet walking backwards.
From the silhouette of the shadow Jansen saw, the monster seemed to lose its balance. Jansen pressed his body closer to the hiding place so as not to be seen by the monster.
BOOM!
SRAKKK!
Jansen closed his eyes in surprise after hearing a loud thud as well as the sound of wind friction. It seemed that the weapon used by whoever it was wasn't just an arrow.
"There are other humans," Jansen muttered softly.
"WOHOOO! Feel you for my gun!"
Shortly after that, Jansen heard the monster fall with a thud. the sound was so loud that Jansen gasped in shock for the umpteenth time.
"Oh my. It's tiring hunting down ugly monsters!" someone said.
Jansen frowned. He paused for a moment to listen to what the situation was.
"I think I see someone. If you're hiding, you better come out! It's safe!"
Although somewhat hesitant, Jansen moved out of hiding. He saw a man of the same age as him carrying a crossbow and a small version of a long cannon-like weapon.
"Hey! I didn't expect to meet a normal human here," the man said as he stepped closer to Jansen.
Jansen felt a bit worried so he took a step back.
"Who are you?" asked Jansen.
The man stopped walking when he realized Jansen was scared. After giving a lopsided smile, he extended his hand to Jansen.
"Matthew. More precisely, Christopher Matthew. Half-human parasite monster hunter."
"What's going on here?" Jansen asked softly.In front of him now, Jansen witnessed a residential scene of abandoned two-story buildings. Many trees, broken cars, and building debris were scattered everywhere.People looked shabby and frightened. There were several tents of makeshift health posts. Some people carried family members and friends, while others were busy treating people infected with the virus."As you can see. This is how people live now," said Matthew beside Jansen.After a brief encounter with the monsters a few moments ago, Jansen was escorted by Matthew to the neighborhood. But Jansen did not expect that the living situation of the townspeople was this bad."They live in these abandoned buildings?" Jansen looked around. "Yes. There is no security. They only rely on logs to block the door to hide. Every night, some monsters will start arriving," Matthew replied.Jansen sighed heavily. He felt furious remembering what the Parasitic Creature Eradication Organization ha
"What are you doing, Jansen?!" Matthew exclaimed when he saw Jansen approaching the infected woman. Jansen ignored Matthew's rebuke and stopped in front of the infected woman. With his breath catching, Jansen focused his concentration on the woman. A split second later, Jansen saw a system hologram screen in front of his face. [VIRUS TYPE DETECTION] [NAME: T-ABYSS VIRUS] [DESCRIPTION: A virus that multiplies rapidly in just one hour. It makes the victim aggressive, uncontrollable, has trouble breathing, and becomes extremely strong] [STRENGTHS: In bites and scratches. The T-Abyss virus will cause sensitive fluctuations that make it aggressive every time the victim sees prey. The level of sensitivity to the sound of movement is very high] 'Aggressive agitation every time the victim sees prey?' Jansen thought. "I'M FINE! AARGGHH!" The woman's voice sounded like it had changed to a male baritone. Jansen watched as two other men arrived with ropes. While Matthew and another man
"WELCOME TO THE TRAINING CENTER! ENJOY THE VARIOUS TECHNOLOGICAL FEATURES THAT WILL MAKE YOUR LIFE EASIER. Jansen was speechless as he entered the lobby of the Training Center building. As he walked with Matthew and nearly 148 other selected individuals, Jansen took in the futuristic design of the building. There was a large LED screen stretching across the gate that separates the lobby from the inner building. To the left were six glass-tube elevators, several flying robots, and a high ceiling that curved slightly inward. In the center of the lobby was a circular reception desk, guarded by giant robots on each of its four sides. What surprised Jansen was that there were four humans standing guard at the reception desk. What were they there for? Several weapons were mounted on the right and left sides of the ceiling area. Jansen was confused as to why these weapons were pointed at the lobby floor where he was. "Matthew, did they deliberately place these weapons near the ceiling?
"Alexander Jansen, the head of the organization would like to see you." Jansen stopped his movements while practicing resistance techniques. The direction of his gaze spontaneously shifted to a guard coming toward him. Jansen turned his gaze to Matthew, who had been training with him. Matthew gave a nod of his head as if to let Jansen go. Although they both looked confused. "What's the need?" asked Jansen, who walked up to the male guard. "You can only know after dealing with Mr. Frank. Come on, follow me." Jansen's brow furrowed even more after the guard man answered. He felt a little irritated because the guard man in front of him was not friendly at all. Unable to resist, Jansen followed the guard. He had been thinking about Frank, who had become the leader of the organization. Even during training, Jansen couldn't fully use his concentration. Part of his focus was on Frank. He remembered that before he almost died in the tunnel that night, Frank had been chasing him to get
"RUARRRGGHHHH!" "STOP!" Frank called out an order and the parasitic half-human monster stopped its attack. The half-human monster's tentacle arms instantly moved backwards after being twisted relentlessly by Jansen.Jansen moved out of the way with his breath catching. Sweat poured from his temples. He stared at the half-human monster that had turned back into a human. 'What kind of monster is that?' Jansen thought as he watched the half-human monster before him. In all the time Jansen had been researching parasitic virus monsters, he had never found a parasitic monster that could control shapeshifting. The first parasitic virus that Jansen discovered turned humans into full-fledged monsters. So how did the parasitic virus develop into this? "You," Frank said, pointing at Jansen in exasperation. "You haven't answered my question." Frank approached Jansen. As Frank moved, the system screen in front of Jansen's face changed appearance. [WARNING! YOUR HEALTH POINTS ARE REDUCED BY
"Ah, shit..."Jansen walked backwards with a dumbfounded expression on his face. His entire body froze watching the figure of a man staring at him intently. The form of the man beside him was human, but Jansen saw that both his hands were covered in sleeves. Jansen already felt an uncomfortable feeling. His mind pictured the half-human parasitic monster in Mr. Frank's room a few hours ago. "No one is allowed to wander around during the late hours of the night. Rules are rules," said the stranger beside Jansen. The stranger's tone implied a small growl. Although his gaze was intense, there was still a calmness to it. "I didn't do anything. I just accidentally saw this room," Jansen replied awkwardly. "Go away. Don't let me forcibly evict you," the man retorted threateningly. Jansen did not move immediately. He held his hands low as he watched the man in front of him from the ground up. At that moment Jansen's curiosity was somehow drawn to the two arms of the man in front of h
"What did I just witness?" muttered Jansen under his breath. Now Jansen leaned one side of his body against the wall. His adrenaline was pumping after witnessing what was inside the giant incubator room of the monsters. In all his years of research on monsters, he had never built an incubator room to confine monsters. So why was the Parasitic Creature Eradication Organization doing that now? [JANSEN, YOU HAVE A MISSION TO COMPLETE!] "Argh!" Jansen growled in annoyance at the sound of his system. Jansen raised his head and looked irritably at the system's blue LED beam in front of his face. "Why are you giving me a mission to the document room again? Who exactly are you? Why did you bring me to this year?" grumbled Jansen who spoke to the system. [Jansen, you must calm your anger. You must complete all the missions to get your questions answered] Jansen let out a harsh sigh as he laughed sarcastically after hearing the system's words. In his opinion, it was not something that d
"Hey, did you know that today is the start of the parasite monster training?" Joseph asked in an enthusiastic tone as soon as he finished getting ready.Jansen had just entered his dorm room while drying his hair with a small towel. He saw Ryann acting like she was about to punch someone. Jansen stopped walking for a moment, looking at Ryann in confusion. "Oh, hello, you!" Joseph greeted Jansen as the smile on his face spread. When Ryann stopped jumping up and down while punching the air, Jansen resumed his steps towards the closet near the bed. "I don't think I saw you last night. Where did you go?" asked Ryann in a friendly tone. While preparing his clothes for today's serious training, Jansen replied, "None of your business." Ryann frowned somewhat surprised at Jansen's answer. During the silence, she exchanged glances with Joseph, asking about Jansen's reaction through facial expressions. "Oh, right. We're not close enough for me to know what you're doing," Ryann replied
"What did they do to regenerate a monster virus like that?" muttered Jansen. He suspected that the organization was conducting experiments to create new virus regeneration during his disappearance. Jansen instantly regretted that he had run into the tunnel. He should still be in the past, not in a destroyed future like the one he was in now. "Hey, it's weird that I hear monsters, but there are no monsters in Mr. Frank's room?" Matthew asked. Jansen's face turned surprised. Again, he considered the hesitation of saying that a half-human monster parasite was in Frank's room. Even worse, being Frank's personal guard. "You didn't see any monster?" Jansen baited Matthew. Matthew shook his head. "You saw it, Matthew. The two men guarding the right and left sides of Mr. Frank's throne are a new type of parasitic monster," Jansen replied. *** [YOU'VE COMPLETED TWO MISSIONS TODAY!] [NEW MISSION ALERT!] [Come to the secret document room and find out what Frank is hiding]
"Hey! You're nothing if it wasn't for me helping you out! Don't you remember who gave you the money so that you can enjoy all the luxurious facilities?!" Jarco coughed in pain. His face was already haggard, showing the pain he was enduring. Now he really couldn't put up a fight. After saying that, Frank then squatted down to look at Jarco in disgust. Frank noticed Jarco's battered condition from the face down. Jarco's clothes were tattered and messy. "Hey, you also enjoyed everything that resulted from my experiment, asshole. Why are you acting like a hero now, huh?" Frank asked. Jarco already looked pitiable as he realized his own condition. His face seemed to be grimacing as he held back tears. "You were talking about my promise to help you find your family? Don't you know that your family is dead?" asked Frank in an offensive tone. Jarco was immediately wide-eyed with surprise. Slowly, his face changed to show anger and worry. "What did you say?" asked Jarco. "
Suddenly Jansen stepped back and avoided the two outstretched hands of the half-human monster man looking for prey. But at that moment he felt he couldn't hold his breath any longer. While dodging, Jansen spontaneously let out a long breath. So that the half-human monster man looked right at him. "SMELL HUMAN!" Then, right at that moment, the half-human monster man's amputated hand suddenly became extremely long, stretched out and stabbed the wall next to where Jansen was. Jansen's body instantly stiffened at the sight of the tip of the man's hand, which had many sharp thorns and was as thick as ivory, in the shape of a circle stuck in the wall. Jansen imagined if those thorns pierced his body. "WHO DARES TO ENTER THIS SECRET ROOM?!" The man raised his tone. Jansen was still frozen where he stood, gulping his saliva to neutralize his choked throat. Jansen immediately turned his gaze to Richard who was already moving quickly towards the half-human monster man. Richard
[You must carry out the mission given, Jansen] [Any questions that are confusing to you are in a secret document. No one has ever searched the room where the document is located, nor has anyone found it] Jansen frowned. "Are the secret documents Frank kept the ones he stole from me?" [Correct.] "Ah, it turns out that he hid the document," replied Jansen who exhaled a rough breath. Jansen already wanted to open the door to his dorm room. But the door suddenly opened first. Two men who were very unfamiliar to Jansen appeared. They had scrambled into the room while holding tote bags, but then saw Jansen's figure. "Oh, hey," said one of the men with an awkward smile. "I'm your roommate, Joseph." "And I'm Ryann. Hey, pull over, I want to come in and get the top bunk!" said the man named Ryann. Jansen sighed heavily. He was fed up with two strangers acting this silly. "I want to leave the room. It's better if one of you gives in," Jansen shot back at them in exasp
"Do you think you've run far enough, Mr. Jansen?" Jansen stiffened at the sound of that voice. He looked to the side and saw a shadowy silhouette from a few meters away. The dark atmosphere made it impossible for him to see clearly. "Who are you?" asked Jansen, starting to feel wary. The sound of footsteps scraping the asphalt could be heard as the silhouette drew closer to Jansen. "Hey, who are you?" Then came a sardonic laugh. "Too bad it's going to be bad for you, Mr. Jansen. You've tried to be the best CEO you can be," the voice said later. DOR! Right after the words were heard, Jansen groaned as he felt a bullet pierce one of his legs. Jansen fell after a second bullet pierced his leg again. As Jansen felt the bleeding on his leg, he saw someone dressed in black standing nearby. BRAK! Something slammed into Jansen's head causing a dizzy sensation. His vision blurred, making it impossible for him to see who the person standing next to him was. "Say goodbye to your comp
"Jansen, it's impossible for someone to feel what a cloth person feels if they've never experienced it," Matthew replied. "That's right. I did experience it," Jansen said. "What?" "Betrayed trust. Haven't you ever felt that?" asked Jansen. Matthew nodded his head with a mocking laugh. "Of course I have, Jansen. If I hadn't experienced that, I might not have formed the personality I have now," Matthew explained casually. "What have you experienced?" asked Jansen. "Do you remember the monster hunter team I had before going with you to the training base?" Matthew asked, his tone as if preparing to tell a story. Jansen nodded his head. His sitting position automatically changed to face Matthew out of curiosity to hear his friend's story. "One of the team members who suddenly wanted to look great and have better skills than the others, he pushed another team member-my friend-while fighting monsters," Matthew said, starting his story. "We were supposed to hide s
"Why are you so tense, Jansen? After all, I already know you're young, the same age as me. Meanwhile, this organization has been around for 50 years," Richard replied. Seeing Richard laughing made Jansen feel a little relieved. Jansen also laughed so that the atmosphere between them was not as tense as before. "You're right. I also didn't know that the person who started this organization had disappeared," said Jansen. He deliberately lied to strengthen his theatrics. Richard nodded his head while stuffing both hands into his pants pockets. He seemed to think for a moment. "No one knows how the face of the originator of the organization disappeared," Richard replied. "Maybe it's because the organization covered up the case of the missing person. Or..." "Organizations do want their originators to be unknown to anyone. It is possible that the originator of this organization is someone who has created something great, but the organization does not want to acknowledge his me
Jansen tried to expend all his strength to kick the tentacle's hand. Unfortunately, his body was immediately thrown to the side so that he hit the wall of the room. "Argh," Jansen immediately groaned with pain. Jansen's position lay limp. He watched as the half-human monster man walked over. As his steps approached Jansen, his tentacle arms loosened briefly. "I told you about the rules of this place, but you didn't listen," the man said irritably. Jansen coughed and tried to take in oxygen with a tight chest. He forced his body to get up, but he fell back limp. [WARNING! YOU HAVE 400 HEALTH POINTS LEFT!] [MINIMUM HEALTH POINT LIMIT: 100/1,000] "I really hate dissident humans like you. You must be punished-ARRGHH!" When the man suddenly cried out in pain, Jansen immediately gasped in surprise. Jansen was stunned to see that another man had come to stab the half-human monster in the back. Jansen frowned when he saw the man who seemed to be a training member smiling at hi
"Why would you consider? Was what I did to save you not enough?" Richard asked the question in an urgent tone. Jansen immediately jerked his hand slightly to avoid being restrained by Richard. He looked at Richard seriously for the umpteenth time. "You should know, I need you to convince me more about whether you are who the two officers say you are or not," Jansen said firmly. Richard exhaled with a look on his face that was beginning to look unhinged. "What you should be thinking is what evidence can they accuse me of being a murderer?" asked Richard. "You can do anything for it-after all, you're the senior trainee with the highest score, fighting thousands of monsters," Jansen replied. Without waiting for Richard's words, Jansen resumed his steps. Jansen suddenly didn't feel like doing the mission the system had given him. His feelings were already very doubtful if there was Richard beside him. As a result, Jansen now turns his steps in the direction he came from a f
