"No, you didn't... Tell me you didn't..." George replied, shocked that the Major would do such a thing.
"George... I know that this might seem bad... But I will get the money back. The money is trackable after all, and I have taken a picture of the money as assurance." He said while pulling out his phone and showing it to George.
The serial number... Good thinking..." George replied. "Once we find that son of a gun, I will beat the living shit out of him." He laughed.
"Yeah, you know, it's not so bad... This situation... only a few days ago, we were chased down to be killed..."
George nodded, realizing that he wouldn't have been able to get this far without the sudden gift he had obtained.
"I've been thinking... about your ability."
"What about it, sir?"
"I've been wondering, could someone already know about your ability?"
Upon hearing this, George raised his eyebrows before shaking his head, "That's impossible, sir... I have told no one about it, no one, except for you."
Ivan Sharp sat back down, pondering; he couldn't get rid of the feeling that there might be something beyond this, "I don't know, George, it doesn't make sense that they would go this far to just kill you for being able to kill monsters."
Before George could answer, his phone rang, prompting him to reach for the phone, "It's Drago."
"Drago? Why would he be calling you now?" He asked.
"I don't know..." George replied before answering the call.
"George! I need you to come to where I am!" Drago screamed so loudly to the point that Ivan could hear him.
"What the heck does he want?" Ivan whispered.
"I don't know." George replied before putting the phone back in his ears, "What's going on?" He asked.
"I don't have time to explain to you! But you must bring all our money to this address..." Drago continued to give an address before ending the call abruptly.
"What was that about..." George confusedly put down the phone.
"Sounds like a trap to me. He wants to take all the money and bail out quickly. After all, our millions are enough for him to retire for a few generations." Major Ivan replied quickly, noting the suspicious tone on Drago's and the sudden call.
"Yeah, I can see that..." Before staring at the Major, George said, "So, what are we gonna do about this?" He asked.
Ivan smiled, "That son of a bitch has our money... Let's go take it."
#
"This is the place?" George asked.'
The both of them were standing in front of an abandoned factory with a pile of cash in their hand, walking inside the factory without thinking twice.
As they entered, they heard a quick step walking up to them.
"Do you have the money?" Drago asked as he walked up towards them.
"It's here." George raised the bag of cash and threw it toward Drago, "So, why do you need it?"
"None of your business." Drago replied as he checked through the bag of money before he stood up and stared at both of them, "This is not all of the money. Where is the rest?"
"That's your share of the money. You want more? Explain to us what is going on and why you took the 400 thousand dollars..." Major Ivan replied.
"You know what, this is enough, and one more thing, I would like to speak with George alone; why don't you wait outside?" Drago said to Ivan.
"No chance, buddy," Ivan said, feeling like something weird would happen.
Creek...
A door opened somewhere in the factory, causing both George and Ivan to be alerted by the sound.
"Relax... It is just one of my friends..." Drago said before another Russian-looking man walked up to them.
Ivan stepped backward before approaching George, "I recognize him; he is not just another Russian hunter, he is a ranker, among the top 100. And wherever he goes, his team follows."
"Shit... You don't mean..."
"Yeah, this is not a trap but a death sentence..." Major Ivan said before they ran to the exit as fast as they could.
The door was still open, they could see the exit, but suddenly they saw the door closing in front of them.
Bang!
The door slammed shut; one of the rankers team members had already been waiting in front of the door to close it. "The window!" Ivan shouted before they tried jumping at it, but their whole body stopped right in front of the window.
"Crap! It's too late!"
"What's going on??"
"That ranker, son of a bitch used his ability on us!" Ivan replied before their body was suddenly dropped to the floor.
As George stood up, he saw the ranker putting his hand down, his face sweating profusely from using his ability. "He can't use his ability anymore! Run!" George shouted before he ran to the window, having a gun pointed at his face from the other side.
"Major, I never wanted you to be involved with this. All I wanted was him." Drago said
George looked confused as he stared at Drago, "What the heck do you want me for?" He asked, confused.
"Your ability to get information. It is... very precious. But, you know, since both of you are here, I guess I will have to let you stay here." Drago replied.
"Not gonna happen..." Ivan said while drawing his gun out to shoot the ranker before the ranker quickly used his telepathic abilities to throw the gun away as fast as he could, "Shit!" Ivan shouted as he ran to the gun before another Russian jumped in and snatched the gun away.
Damon stopped, knowing that he too had a gun concealed, if he could reach out for it and shoot himself, he would be able to get away from this problem and go back in the past.
As he saw the russian ranker looking away to take a breath, he withdrew his gun.

'Quickly!' George took out the gun from his pocket. Snatch! The gun was quickly taken away from another Russian hiding behind all along before he felt a kick at the back of his knees causing him to fall down. He tried rolling to get up before he felt a boot on his face putting heavy pressure on it. AH! He felt as if his head was about to explode, but this might work as well. But the boot was lifted up, leaving his skull slightly cracked but nothing so serious that would end his life. Drago walked away from George before turning to look at one of his new team members, "Put them both in the room. Do not in any circumstance let them out, and do not kill them, especially the young one." He talked in Russian before walking out of the factory. # Thud! Both George and Ivan were thrown into a room with no window and the only exit was a locked metal door. "Shit," George cursed before Ivan got closer to the door and placed his ears on it to make sure that no one was near enough to lis

"So… that is a dungeon, huh?" George asked as he exited the truck while Major Ivan strolled away, walking to one of the officers that had arrived there. "So what is the rating? Seems that even the General has no idea." "The Hunter's association has rated this dungeon, Unknown, sir." "Damn it." Major Ivan replied as he looked up at the portal of the dungeon, which was starting to turn slightly red. "And how long until a dungeon breakout could occur?" "We have about 2 days!" One of the hunters shouted as he walked toward both of the soldiers. "And who are you?" "I'm a class B hunter from the association, Hans-Jurgen. Let's just say that I am somebody that knows about 'hunting' in dungeons." The German hunter said with his chin up high, clearly looking down on the regular soldiers. "Hans… The guy who stopped the C-level dungeon breakout on his own?" Major Ivan asked. Hans nodded, "Yes. And I have also gotten an order from the association to only involve hunters… And, I don't thin

George stood in front of the portal with his bulletproof armour and gun in his hand and the sound. That emanated from the portal got louder, and he could hear the whisper of the monsters as if it was near his ears. “First time going in a dungeon?” Ivan asked, looking at George, who was in awe at the large portal. “Yeah, I have only fought in New York… So I don't really know what to expect here.” Hearing the conversation, Hans quickly brought the matter to Kenta, “Are you sure this is a good idea? The guy that supposedly defeated a Class A monster has never stepped foot in a Class D dungeon.” “If he lives, then we know he is the real deal, and if not, then that’s one less problem we have to deal with.” Hans nodded, hearing Kenta’s quick thinking before staring at George, still suspicious of him and his record. After making sure everything was ready, Kenta didn't waste any more time and quickly walked towards the portal before turning, “It’s time. Let’s go in.” “Gosh, this guy i

"First time going in a dungeon?" Major Ivan asked, noticing that George was perspiring heavily in front of the entrance, and taking this into consideration."Second time here.""Wait, so what happened at the first time?"Upon hearing this, George smiled while shaking his head, "Well, we did pretty… okayish….""Sigh, so we all died then.""Yeah pretty much.""So what happened?"George explained everything that happened in full detail, "And dont worry, I think I have a plan."#The demonkin arrived at the same time as his previous life."What is a demonkin like you doing here?"

The demonkin shouted as it jumped back in drought while holding his hand.Kenta turned to see George using a s
The First System User Chapter 30: Hans
Hup! George swiftly rolled to the side as he saw the hunter nearly running through him like a juggernaut. 'That guy is as fast as a normal person!' George realized that hunters were just a completely different breed. Their body weight didn't affect their speed as much as weight affected a regular human being. The hunter in front of him was supposed to be struggling even to jog, but to move this fast alongside the agility was something that George couldn't naturally do. He then tried carrying the hunter's leg to topple him down but in vain. The hunter weighed at least 200 kilos, and his legs stayed firm on the floor; George's strength proved useless in front of a monster. And with a swing of a hand, the tall hunter dropped George's to the floor, his back crashing down harder than a falling boulder. "Kugh!" The air that was in his body left him at the moment, and as he breathed in, his vision returned, allowing him to see the boot of the hunter that was about to crush his face. A

"This must work…" George muttered as he stood in front of Hans for the 45th time before taking out his fingers and poking into his eyes, blinding Hans temporarily.Hans jumped back while blocking, using his two big hands to cover his vitals from the front, but George knew he was about to do that and placed his legs just behind Hans, who was jumping backwards, causing the German to fall on his back.George then took out his uniform and quickly tied it around Hans's neck, trying to choke the hunter out, this was the farthest he had gone, and if he failed, it would mean that he would not be able to beat Hans no matter what.Rrrip!Hans tore the uniform; the veins in his forearm showed an impressive feat of strength."No…" George muttered as he stood up, looking at the torn uniform of his, before looking up and seeing Hans standing up.He then took out his gun and shot himself before anyone could even stop him.#"I can't beat him…" George said he had just beaten the tall hunter, but he k

The demons came in rough, with their numbers increasing by the second. And once again, the giants of the demon race returned with their power, overwhelming the hunters as they had never felt before. Retreat!" George shouted, knowing that if the hunters tried fighting against the giants, they would surely perish, and instead, he turned to the Japanese hunter, "Kenta, we need to get rid of those things." Kenta nodded before he extended his arms toward the giants and caused them to levitate higher into the air. "Krugh?" And although the giants struggled to free themselves from the magical hold, Kenta dropped to the ground before the giants' grasp was broken, which caused the giants to collapse to the ground; their knees popped as a result of the strain that was exerted to them. "NOW!" George shouted as he pointed at the giants, gesturing to the hunters to attack the giants when they were still weak on their necks. But as soon as they did that, the demons ran away as fast as they cou

George sat down in front of the portal. He could feel his head aching so much from repeating the day without resting for too long. He felt like he could throw up anytime, and Major Ivan saw this, walking up to him and sitting beside him, “What’s wrong?”“I tried a lot of things…” George muttered before explaining what happened in the previous rounds of him repeating today.In fact, George had already tried to convince the hunters not to go into the portal, but none of them listened, including Hans and Kenta. The only time when they believed him was when they entered the portal, which was too late by then.“Damn.” Major Ivan shook his head; he didn't really know what to say as he didn't have any better idea himself; after all, the only one with that ability was George. “There must be something. By the way, do you have any way to see how many times you could reset today?”George shook his head, taking out the mirror that he kept in his pocket to see his reflection, seeing a three-digit

The Ginjets flew over the vast sea while the soldiers were looking at their sea scanning radar to find any signs of strange movement that might hint at the movement of the submarine. "Any signs?" General Howard asked while pacing back and forth, his mind racing with possibilities of what Jordan might be planning. "Sir, we have contacted the National Reconnaissance Office. They will be checking for any visible signs of the enemy when they go on land, but for now, we don't have any." "Think! There must be some way to find them; if they are using a nuclear-powered submarine, then there must be a way that we can somehow find them through scanning nuclear energy nearby." "Sir, the whole base was filled with nuclear waste… We won't be able to find them… the nuclear waste has been spreaded out.” Howard punched the window, nearly breaking it, and could feel his heart beating with his stomach aching in anxiety; as he looked at his watch, he could see that it was 14:00.

“Sir, we are ready. We are waiting for your orders.” General Howard looked down upon the sea base, “They must be scared… None of them are outside….” “Perhaps they thought that we would be attacking them directly?” One of the strategists responded while looking at the base using her binoculars before seeing a figure in one of the doors. “I see someone peeking at us… It seems that they really think that we will be going for a direct attack.” “Well, that’s for the best then. Destroy them.” He ordered just loud enough for all of them to hear. As the soldiers prepared to drop the heavy explosives on the sea base, the strategist could see the figure that was peeking at them from the sea base, entering and hiding back at the sea base. That figure to be exact, was Major Ivan. “Ivan, so what’s the condition outside?” “Not good. They are going to blow this place up. We should leave right now. We might have only 2 minutes max.” General Jordan sighed in relief as the both of them continued

"Where are they!?" The former Colonel, now turned Four Star General Howard screamed at the soldiers. "Satellites indicate they are in the Sea Base, Sir!" "Sea Base?" The Colonel paused before his phone rang. "General Howard?" Another General, who had more badges on his chest, walked towards him as he tried talking. "Wait." Howard pulled out his phone before answering it. His whole stature and persona that fit a strong and harsh leader had changed to a more respectful one, "Yes, sir?" He answered in a very polite tone, a vast difference from the one that he used not long ago. Everyone there stood quiet; they knew who General Howard was talking to. In fact, the news broke out that some unknown entity within the UN had promoted Howard for some unknown reason. And the other 37 Generals who had a position similar to the one he recently had all been demoted to Lower 4 Star General to increase the status and the authority that Howard received.

The pilot pulled back on his controls, ascending the plane to its maximum altitude. "Come on!" the pilot shouted, straining to align the plane directly above the sky. The metal covering the aircraft shook intensely, compressed by the high-speed flight. Seated in the co-pilot's chair, the Major was covered in the blood of the deceased co-pilot, his seatbelt securely fastened. The g-force pulled everyone's skin back, giving them the appearance of aging by four decades. Some even fainted due to the force. The pilot glanced at the fuel gauge, anticipating the low fuel level. With the slow leakage and the maneuvers performed, it was no surprise that their fuel was running low so early. Turning to his left, the pilot checked on the condition of the Major. The Major held onto his seatbelt tightly, struggling to communicate with the pilot through distorted mouth movements, saying, "Wha... ah ... we... asen?"

The sleek military planes descended gracefully, their wings slicing through the air as they touched down upon the rugged expanse of the Texas land base. The pilots then manoeuvred their aircraft, bringing them to a halt, As the dust settled and the engines powered down, the pilot looked towards his co-pilot before seeing a glim of light right behind his head. Before the window behind his co-pilot shattered, a bullet shot through his head, causing his whole body to turn lifeless and drop to the ground. The pilot quickly ducked before taking his microphone," Take cover. We are being attacked!!!" "Not here too?!" The General shouted as he peeked out of the window and could see soldiers hiding and blending into the environment; if it weren't for the light that was reflecting from their scope, he would have never known that they were there.

The commissioner's hand trembled as he heard General Jordan's voice instead of General Damien's. "Sir... Where's General Damien?" Beep...

It was inconceivable that General Jordan's army could have defeated the soldiers under the command of the highly esteemed 5th Star General. They weren't even prepared for a fight. "What the hell happened...?" He glanced at the phone directory once more, searching for another number. He dialled the guard's phone, which he had borrowed. "Colonel Howard... I think General Damien might be dead." The Colonel froze, disbelief etched on his face as he looked at the commissioner, shrouded in darkness. He whispered into the phone, "Is that really you, Commissioner?" "Yeah, it's me. My damn phone broke, so I'm using this one for now. But listen, there's a good chance General Damien is dead."

"Sir, should we stop the Major and Corporal from leaving?" one of the guards asked, observing the Commissioner's panicked state. "Forget about them. Do you have a phone?" Astentstein inquired. The guard nodded, searching his pockets until he produced a small smartphone. He unlocked it and handed it to the Commissioner. Astentstein snatched the phone and swiftly navigated to the call application. Pulling out a small booklet from his back pocket, he located a number he had written down and dialed it.

Just as he prepared to rise from his bed, a knock came at the door. "Major, I'm awake," George called out. The door swung open, revealing the figure of Major Ivan. "You recognized it was me; did you foresee it again?" he asked, a hint of exhaustion in his voice. George nodded, and the Major let out a sigh. "When will we have a day where we can simply survive without complications?" "I need you to convince the General to change his plan. Some things can't be fixed even with my ability," George implored.

Chapter 48: Fight With Damien Part 3
George stood firmly in front of Damien, his body tense with anticipation. It was the second time he had experienced this day, and he knew exactly what moves Damien would execute. Yet, even armed with this knowledge, George couldn't shake the feeling of inferiority that washed over him. He still felt small, weak, and utterly unaware of the circumstances surrounding him. But George couldn't afford to dwell on these thoughts. Failure was not an option, for if he faltered now, he would be forced to relive the entire day using his time loop abilities. Fatigue weighed on George's mind, though it didn't manifest in his physical form. It was evident in his eyes, which carried the weariness of experiencing the same events twice over. With determination fueling his every move, George launched a punch towards Damien. Yet, just as he predicted, Damien effortlessly sidestepped the attack, evading it as he had done before. Undeterred by his missed punch, George unleashed a rapid series of strike
