"Milk delivery!" Drew's bicyckle bell jingled as he parked at a dilapidated house.
His expression scrunched up. How could such an apartment exist in this present world? It was made of brown worn out bricks. Apart from the wooden door, the walls were cleaved apart. "Come in!" an old voice replied. "Uh, okay" Drew checked the GPS on his watch. He was sure this was the place where the customer who ordered milk stayed. Hoisting up a packet of milk from the basket on tied to the bicycle, he walked briskly towards the apartment. Bang! He gave the door a gentle push. But accidently, it flew out of the door pane. "Sheesh!" Drew bit his tongue. "It's okay. It's been a long time since we had visitors" the apartment occupant laughed. He was an old man dressed in tank tops, bermuda shorts and a fisher man hat. He was seated on a stool, steering tea in the cup he held. "I brought your milk" Drew flashed the milk. A gentle but invisible force hoisted up the milk, bringing it towards the old man.Drew wasn't all that shocked. In this current era, a special race of beings existed. The Elites! They were capable of inhuman feats and were respected in the society. They were like gods! "Sir Elite, that milk costs five dollars. But i'll give you a fifty percent.. no eighty percent discount" Drew's tone became respectful. "Hohoho. What a funny kid. I like you" the old man stroked his chin. "Sit" A chair materialized besides Drew. Before he could react, he found himself already seated. Whoa! Elites were so powerful! "My name is Elrado. I am a Pinnacle" the old man raised his arms proudly. "Pinnacle? Is that a hero name or what?" "Kid. I am what you folks refer to as a god" Elrado huffed. "A god? you?" Drew's lips arched into a crescent. "Expecting more? expected to see me in shiny armour that can blind mortal eyes? with glowing eyes and a majestic air?" Elrado laughed. "Uhm. Sort of. You look like a fisher man to me" Drew shrugged."Hmph. What do you know about fashion" Elrado huffed in annoyance. He snapped his fingers and a pair of ear rings materialized, floating mid air. "I don't have much money right now for those milk, so accept these ear rings as compensation" the ear rings shot towards Drew, floating just few inches away from his face. "Sure. I'll just re sell these. I can gain a couple of bucks from em" Drew grabbed the ear rings, stowing them into his pocket. He bidded the old man good bye and hurried out. "Bro. Have you seen the news yet?" Drew just got into his one room apartment when someone rushed towards him, shoving a smart phone at his face. "Freaking hell, chillax man" Drew took a step back. "How can i chillax? that bitch needs to pay!" Diego roared. Diego was Drew's childhood friend and they both rented the apartment together. Diego was a taxi man with an average weekly income of five hundred bucks. "What bitch?" Diego noticed that his best friend was fuming."Your girlfriend Angela man! she was caught being rocked by a celebrity. Damn! They even kissed!!" Diego clenched his jaw as he spoke. "What?!" Drew snatched the phone and watched the video that was playing on the screen. Diego was right! he saw his girlfriend kissing another man while also being groped. Damn! and he even bought an engagement ring on his way back from work!! Just at that moment, his phone rang in his pocket. He checked the caller ID. It was Angela. "Hello?" he answered the call. "Hey listen up loser. I want a break up!" Angela's shrill voice rang from the other end. Drew felt a thunder clap in his heart. Although he anticipated it, he couldn't help but fall to his knees. "But.. But why?" his voice came out croaked. "Hmfph! why? you're too broke okay? plus you are just a loser. News flash, i even awakened as a Deviant and got myself a pretty capable boyfriend" Angela harped from over the phone."From here on out, we are two different people. Our social status is mountains apart. You are just a pathetic loser, unworthy of.." Angela couldn't complete her words because Drew unknowingly lost grip of the phone. But he was completely unbothered. Angela's taunting words constantly ringing in his head. His breathing began to slow down and his hearing sensitivity slowed down too. He felt his whole world spinning. Oxygen began to escape from him. "I.." he slumped down. Beep! Beep! Beep! "Is he dead?" "Propably. I'm not picking up any life signatures" "He might just be in coma. Let him be" "No! you have to save my friend! you have to!" Drew heard multiple voices. Somehow he could hear them, but couldn't open his mouth. All what he saw around him was endless darkness. He heard the voices for a period of time. Then they stopped. Silence. He was all alone. He felt scared. Was this how it was going to be forever? Eternal darkness and silence?It was killing!-[Initializing passive command] Then for the first time in a long time, he heard a voice. It sounded so close.-[Downloading.. 5%]-[20%]-[50%]-[80%]-[99%]-[100%. D******d complete]-[Downloading System feautures.. Complete]-[Congratulations.

Drew gasped as his eyes flew open.
He noticed some strange chords connecting his wrist to a series of confusing looking machines. "I'm in a hospital?" Drew sniffed in the nauseous sulphur scent in the air. At that moment, a screen appeared before his eyes. "Holy molly!" his eyes brightened. Did he just awaken as a Deviant?! "Is my power the ability to project a screen? what is it used for? to defend against attacks?" Just as he was curious, a row of words appeared on the screen.-[Due to host using the system for the first time, host shall recieve the below rewards]-[A Lucky spin]-[A Welcome chest box]-[10 deci points] "Huh? what sort of super power is this huh? Did i awaken as a cyborg type Deviant? pretty cool" Drew decided to check out the first reward. Lucky Spin! A spin wheel appeared on the screen. There were various segments on it. SKILLS CASH ITEMS Deci point ELIXIR The wheel began to spin. Drew watched curiously as the arrow pointed towards 'CASH'-[Congratulations! Host has received $10,000!] Drew's eyes bulged. Ten thousand bucks! that was like ten or more years worth of his salary! "This super power is fvcking cool yeah?" he quickly checked the second reward.-[Welcoming chest box has been received.

-[Energy has decreased by -2] "Energy? is that my ability to do work? i thought i was a cyborg!" Drew wondered.-[Yes you are a cyborg. But the most perfect of them all. A cyborg Node] a female voice rang in his ear. "Who?!" he glanced around. Apart from him, the whole ward was empty.-[There is a wireless communication signal transmitter in your brain. It makes you send commands to the system and also communicate with me. I am Rolie. The A.I of this system. I am programmed to serve the host to my full capabilities]"You are an A.I? who created you?" Drew asked. He finally realized that he didn't awaken a super power. Instead, a symbiotic machine bonded with him.-[I Am sorry, but you are not eligible to acess such information] Rolie replied. "When will i be eligible?" Drew asked.-[When the time comes you will know] At that moment, new words appeared on the panel screen.-[HOST INFO]-Name: Drew-Alias: ???-Race: Node-Nationality: Human-Planet: Earth-System: Sol-Galaxy: Milky way-[ATTRIBUTES]-Level: Level 0-Strength: 2 (pathetic)-Agility: 1 (pathetic)-Speed: 1 (pathetic)-Physique: 2 (pathetic)-Energy: 20-DF: 1 (pathetic)-COMBAT POWER: 4 (pathetic)-System Note: What a weak host!-[SKILL TREE]-Analysis: Can observe anything below level 2. 3 metre radius.

When Drew exited the hospital, he flagged down a taxi. "Where to?" the taxi man asked respectfully. "The nearest boutique. The faster you get me there, the more tips you will recieve" Drew said as he got in. The taxi man's eyes lit up. Another generous customer. He instantly stepped on the pedal and brought the vehicle to life. While the taxi man did his best to drive at his maximum, Drew sat comfortably at the back seat. He opened the system panel and tried increasing his strength stat.-[To increase strength stat by +1 costs 2 deci points] Drew went ahed, successfully increasing his strength stat. He only felt a slight ache in his biceps before the feeling vanished. Drew used up another six deci points, successfully increasing it to seven. He squandered the remaining ten deci points on his physique, bringing it on par with his strength stat. Due to this, his base damage increased. "This is not enough! i have to spend more money and get more deci points" he thought inwardl
Drew exited the boutique. Behind him were two security guards who held the things he just bough. Perhaps it was due to his lavish spending, but he noticed that the boutique management became more respectful to him. Just as he wanted to flag down a cab, he suddenly heard a voice. "Sir!" Turning over, he saw somebody sprinting towards him. It was the taxi man from before. The taxi man arrived before Drew and started panting, while leaning his arms against his knee. "Are you okay?" Drew asked, with genuine concern. Putong! To his shock, the taxi man dropped to his knees, tears steaming down his cheeks. "What are you doing?!" Drew shrieked in shock. His first reaction was to raise the taxi man up, but the latter refused to budge. "Allow me sir to fully show my appreciation! I also want to apologize for misunderstanding you earlier" the taxi man wailed as he grabbed the helm of Drew's pants. At that moment, he remembered he did send some extra cash to this taxi man."Why are you
Hugo and his wife were shocked when Drew quickly retracted his hands. Not just them, even Drew was confused. [That boy has a deadly illness. It can spread through skin contact, though it is only limited to Deviants] Drew breathed a sigh in relief. At that moment, Hugo spoke worriedly. "Is anything the matter Mr. Drew?" "It's nothing serious. I just noticed something peculiar about your child's illness. Let me inspect him a bit" Drew lied, while feigning to be deep in thoughts. "What kind of illness is it?" He asked Rollie. [Scan him with the analysis skill] Drew did as he was told. Soon, the results were out. -[TARGET INFO]-Name: Rick Martins-Age: 7-Zodiac: Aries-Specie: Homo-sapiens-Agility: 1-Speed: 1-Physique: 1-Strength: 1-Energy: 10-Combat power: 2! ! ! - Target has contacted the Evil shade virus.

Just as the two were about to grab Drew and throw him out, a voice halted their actions. "Stop!" A lady in blood red cocktail party dress hurriedly descended the stairs. Although she wore heels, she was pretty fast when she moved. "Miss. Diane!" the two bouncers gasped in shock when they saw this lady. Even those audiences waiting for a good show to play were gobsmacked. Why was she here?! "Tory and Bryan, how many times have i told you to respect the wants and needs of the customers huh?" Diane chastised the two bouncers. "But he clearly dosen't look like someone rich" Tory could only grumble this words in his stomach, whilst nodding like a male lizard. "Sir, I am sorry for the bad performance these two did. I hope you don't take it to heart" Diane probed Drew. "It was just a misunderstanding" Drew replied blankly. The previous charade made him lose his appetite. But he wasn't one to run away from what he started."But I am curious" his expression became one of amusement. "
Drew signed the necessary documents and recieved two cards. He handed one over to Hugo. "I.." Hugo wanted to reject. It was not like he was deaf or something. This card was worth a million grams. However, the gaze Drew shot at his way shut him up. Diane watched this display in surprise. She felt that this young man who could spend two million without batting an eyelid was anything but simple. Plus, he didn't like showing off and treated his subordinates well. Unlike the other young rich scions she met in the past, Drew was simply exceptional. Having good looks was a triple plus too. "Thank you miss Diane. You have done me a favour" Drew showed his appreciation. "What are you doing? you were the one who spent the money!" Diane laughed with amusement. However, she would never have expected the real reason Drew was thanking her was because of the two thousand deci points he profitted from their deal. "So, what are your plans?" she asked."Uhm.." "You didn't come here for sights
The auction went on and there were many cases of heavy biddings. So far the most bid went to an ancient sculpture which got auctioned off at a whooping price of hundred million dollars!Just at that moment, a new display box was dragged to the stage. Malik became solemn."Our auction has three main items. And allow me to introduce to you all ladies and gentlemen, the first item!"The whole auction hall became silent. Everyone stared straight at the display box, curious at what it held."The first item was found in a monastary. According to our analysis, it was destroyed single handedly by a powerful expert"The crowd gasped at the words Malik said. Such an existence who could flatten a monastary wouldn't be an unknown figure."We later figured out the culprit's identity. It turns out to be the Zlad family fifth lord"The crowd erupted into mumurs and heated discussion. The Zlad family was a powerful family made up of Vampires. And the Zlad family fifth lord was nicknamed Hell Bringer.
Jace's mouth was wide as saucers. He thought he was mishearing things. A commoner dared label the powerful Caspian family as trash?! "Hmph. Since you can't refute my words. That means I'm right" Drew sighed, like as if he was helpless over the situation. "Mr. Drew, I don't think this is a good idea" Diane secretly tugged at his arm. Her beautiful face was currently sweating profusely and her legs shaking underneath the flowery dress she wore. What was wrong with this guy? did he eat the gall of a tiger?! "Don't worry. It's fine" Drew smiled confidently. With the vast amount of deci points he had, he was pretty confident in himself. "Maybe I'll just swat whatever Caspian family patriach to death. That would make a pretty good headline, hehe' he thought proudly to himself. Jace finally found his bearings. He so much wanted to pummel this brat to death, however he was in a public place. If the media recorded him bullying a commoner, it would sully his family reputation.He took
"Why won't you accept the business proposal? I mean.. it would be in your favor right? you'd have the chance to forge a relationship with my master. Don't tell me you are the short sighted kind of person" this time, Drew no longer sounded confident as his palm became sweaty. "I know that. But if you keep on acting like you have all the winning cards in your pocket, then I'd have to decline. Don't think you can fool me. This is most likely a test given to you by your master so he won't be involved in it unless he sees tangible results. Isn't that right?" Loveth scoffed. "Uhhmm. R-Right " Drew nodded awkwardly. "Well, I think I would be able to improvise then. I'll accept your business proposals " "Really?" hearing that the other party had accepted, Drew's eyes sprang up with joy. With the full support of Silver Eagle Auction House, it would only be a matter of time before he dominates the Herbal market of North Heights. However Loveth's next words dampened his short termed exc
Giving Drew one long look like as if trying to read what was going on in his mind, Loveth collected the jade bottle from him before proceeding to uncork it. And when she did, the whole office became encased in a thick but rich pleasant scent. "This.. This is herbal adorant!" Her eyes lit up in amazement. Although she wasn't a Divine Physician herself, as the manager of Silver Eagles Auction House, it was only natural that she'd be in the company of a few Divine Physicians once in a while. She had even watched some of them brew medicines and according to them, only highest grade medicines could emit a wonderful scent in the air, called adorant. "Looks like you are well informed" Drew chuckled, while inwardly feeling shocked. After all, it was only after he had upgraded the skill *Ancient Shamanic Medicine* to the max did he finally knew what adorant meant in the field of medicine. "Judging by the intensity of the adorant being emitted.. this is a high quality medicine. Were y
"Eh?" Drew stared at the other party, unable to understand why she was rejecting him from meeting up with Loveth. "May I ask the reason why?" he asked. "Well, you are probably not from this city so you might not know this. This building is just one of the storehouses owned by Silver Eagles Auction House. It was only used to host the auction event days ago. After that, Madame Loveth returned back to the head office of Silver Eagles Auction House. I am the Manager of this store house. My name is Patricia Holmes" the chubby lady revealed. "Oh, I didn't know that" Drew nodded in understanding. "So where exactly is the headquarters located?".. "The young master called for me?" Currently inside a large balcony, a youngster sat comfortably on a throne like chair, sipping merrily from the glass of wine being fed to him by a female clad in scanty clothing. At his other side was another scantily dressed female feeding him chips while another scantily dressed female was was huddled in
"How long was I out?" Drew mumbled as he got up from the cold tiles glancing at the Jade bottle which was lying beside him. After brewing the medicine, he became so exhausted that he decided to take a nap to replenish his lost energy. However the nap ended up becoming a really long sleep. Picking up the jade bottle, he uncorked it and smiled in satisfaction when he saw the slightly purplish liquid inside. "I just have to hand this over to Loveth. I wonder what her reaction is going to be like when she learns of it's uses" he grinned, while carefully tucking the jade bottle inside his pocket. Leaving the refining room, he just happened to bump into Rosalie, clad in a school uniform. "Hm?" Rosalie's brows jumped in joy when she saw Drew. "You finally came out!" she beamed. "How long did I spend inside?" Drew inquired. "Two days. Big sis become worried and wanted to check up on you, however Mother forbade her from doing so. She was afraid that we would interfere with what you w
"Interesting. Did the young man really say that?" "Indeed father. And the most surprising fact is that he's so young. If I am not mistaken, he isn't past his mid twenties.. do you think he's the main deal or he was merely shooting off his mouth?" Currently inside a large study room, Old Man Benson and his Daughter; Loveth, sat together, occupying the only sofa in the study. Loveth had just finished recounting her meeting with Drew to her father. She wanted to seek his guidance on the matter. "What do you think?" Old Man Benson smiled as he asked his daughter of her opinion. "I really don't know whether I should believe him or not. After all from his words, he was hinting that he was going to brew the 'amazing product' " "But he's just too young. There's no way he can match up to Medicine Priest Harland's expertise which has been honed through many years of experience.." "But some how, my instincts keeps telling me to trust him" she sighed. "So that means this is a conflict be
After breakfast with the Mick Family, Drew headed towards the Medicine Refinement room he had used the previous day to brew the antidote for Mr. Mick's Sun Curse. When he arrived there, he was met with the sight of packaged boxes neatly arranged. These were the ingredients that he had requested from Loveth the previous day. "Let's get to work" he cracked his knuckles as he took in a deep breath before he began opening the packaged boxes. . . When Boss Jay exited his mansion, he was met with a shocking sight. Lying around helplessly were his underlings And the most scary part was that they were all bleeding from the severe injuries they had on their body. The whole premises of the mansion plunged into silence. The only thing that could be sensed in the air was the strong iron smell of blood as well as deep resentment. "So you are the boss of this place?" a baritone voice broke the silence at that moment, causing Boss Jay to tilt his head towards the direction from where t
Yawning heavily, Drew got up from the bed he had used to pass the night. Rubbing the dirt off the corners of his eye, he sighed deeply. He could still feel that his depleted martial energy had not yet been fully replenished. Looks like the Artic Soothing solution had taken much from him than he had anticipated. "I wonder if the packages have arrived?" he mumbled as he made his way towards the bathroom to freshen up... Old Man Benson was clad in tracksuit as he watered the vegetable plants in his garden at a steady pace. If an outsider came, they would be shocked to discover that this seemingly ordinary man was once one of the top big shots in North Heights, as well as the father of two of the most influential individuals in the city. Five minutes passed when he sudden sighed as he stopped what he was doing. "I wonder how long you are going to keep standing there eh?" he slowly said. "Heh. Is it a crime to watch my dear father as he goes about his business?" a pearl of laughte
Although this might sound hypocritical but I am really sorry for not updating for weeks. I was too busy with my other new book The Vampire System that I neglected this one and I am truly sorry for that. Anyways, I am here to announce I am back in business and hope to update daily. As an apology, I will be dropping two free chapters. Yes! You won't need to use coins to unlock the two chapters. I hope you all forgive me for my inconsistency. You don't deserve it. The same applies to my other Book The Centillionaire Heir.. Oh, and don't forget to check out my other Book The Vampire System.. And don't take the name to heart, it mostly has the theme of an urban fantasy with Hero like People known as Sentries.. just give it a read.. you won't regret it. Plus it has daily updates as well!
"How was it?" Currently the whole Mick family were gathered around Mr Caleb lying on a white bed in his room, with eager expressions. "What are you saying Rosalie? your father just drank the medicine. There's no way he would suddenly recover, right?" Although it sounded like a chastisement, Mrs. Mick was actually asking of Drew's opinion. "Sigh. The Sun Curse is a deadly ailment" Drew who was standing a few feets away, holding an empty bowl, sighed. "Although the antidote I brewed was a powerful one, Mr. Mick won't recover instantly. He still needs two days worth of rest before he can return back to normal. " "I'd advise that you give him his space during those two days. Not only that, ensure to change his diet.. he shouldn't eat meat or anything that was cooked or stir fried" he advised. "But my dad hates vegetables" Tom frowned with worry. "Well, then he has to learn how to enjoy eating them. Although he can substitute vegetables with fruits " Drew replied. "Thank you ver
