Hi guys, trust the process.
They all swallowed as they waited for what she would say. Some of the board members swallowed in anticipation. It would seem as though they were mortals awaiting the sentence of a goddess after committing a heinous crime. Awe was seeped in their faces. "How much does the school need?" Anna knew that all this story pointed in one direction. She didn't need to know the backstory of Cory and his past experiences in the school. But based on what the president had just said, it was obvious that Cory was regarded as a loser in the past. But now that things have changed for him, the school wanted him to invest in infrastructures. Anna also could read between the lines! She knew that Havill must have been the one who told the school board about the new status of Cory. She wasn't sure whether or not Cory would love this, but it was just a matter of time before the rest of the students would find out about Cory's real identity. "Well, maybe a couple of millions. Perhaps twenty million dolla
Cory's body was swung from one head of the confinement to the other. His body was hitting every corner of the electrical barrier, crackling and sizzling every part of his body. He wished this would stop any time soon. This has been going on for quite a while now. He should concentrate on the pain he was feeling, being hurled and thrown here and there, but he decided to shut the pain out. Not because the pain was not there but because he refused to see it!As his body was made a whip that was used to flog the barrier and the pool of electrical fence, his mind was wandering. He had to get out of this place as soon as possible. He had no idea what the supreme god was on about. The major thing he was worried about was being locked away here for too long. The last time he left Earth and had a meeting with Irmais, three days were past. How many days was he bargaining with here, while he was having this fight? He wasn't sure yet. The thought of this and many more worries amplified by tho
Miraculously, while he chewed the gem, it turned soft and yummy in his mouth. Just as though he was eating an apple, only that it was more tender and softer. Cory could swear that when he was holding the gem in his hand, it was very hard and strong, just like a block of diamond. Then how did it turn into an edible fruit in his mouth and on his tongue? He had no answer for that. He shut his eyes as he chewed, taking in all the aroma and flavor. He savored the taste that soothed every corner of his nerves. It was so exhilarating, and it felt like he had been recharged. He felt his body glowing as though he had just been bathed in gold. While he wondered about all these wonders happening to him, [Ping! A Green gem collected.][Ping! Host has graduated to a level-two gem collector.][Ping! A level two gem collector can collect the Qi energy and all powers of a warlord by killing them. The powers, qi energy, and years of experience of the warlord would be converted into a green gem.][
Cory was in total disbelief as he stared at his hand. He didn't know how he didn't notice this, let alone even feel it. It was a sort of magical inclination. The maggots were trailing his hand, going out of the pores newly created into another one. They seemed to have a sharp blade for mouth because they could easily cut through the flesh and disappear into it. Anna, on the other hand, couldn't remain where she was. She slumped, her eyes feeling dizzy from the gory scene. Then, she fell down, unconscious. Cory didn't go to her aid. He needed to take care of himself first before having to worry about someone else. "What's happening to me?" He wondered, not able to look away from his swollen had that had been made a mess by the gigantic maggots. He couldn't find an answer to his question until[Ping! Conditions analyzed.]The system interface popped up all of a sudden. That was exactly what he was expecting. There was no way he would have been able to crack this code if the system
Blank! The flame went off, and the shadow disappeared alike. Cory remained glued to where he was. Clueless. He definitely wasn't sure of what to make of this. He could still remember vividly everything that the system had just explained to him. There was nothing worth mentioning that pointed at this madness that had just happened. He remained quite staring into the space. He was expectant. His eyes could tell how much he was waiting for something. It was hard to tell what he was waiting for. But then the idea was not farfetched. From the looks of things, he must be waiting for the explanation of the system. The system should have an explanation for this, too, just as it had an explanation for his rotten hand. He waited and waited, but nothing came. He was beginning to feel really angry this time. He didn't know how to channel the rage. He wasn't sure of whom to blame for this. Whether to blame the system or the supreme god. As a matter of fact, the supreme god has been quiet eve
"How can you say you don't have any money on you? Are you fucking kidding me?" The bald cab driver yelled at Cory. Cory hated been yelled at or being talked down on. There was no limit to what he could do to anybody who tried to subject him to such a humiliating situation. But in this situation, he was the one at fault. When he had left hone earlier, he hadn't thought about getting money or anything as such. He had only wanted to get to the university to understand why he had been summoned to the Dean's office. Also, who could have thought that he would lose his abilities and skills to a 90,000-year-old man who's acting like a child! When he thought about it, he grunted in displeasure, not sure what to feel in that moment. When he had carried Anna towards the open garage of the Viocot Hotel, he had tried to search for Anna's car. It would be strange for Anna to come to a place without her car!But no matter how hard he tried to look for her car, he couldn't find it. Also, he didn'
At this moment, it would seem as though Cory's head would explode from confusion. It felt like someone was toying, not only with his wisdom but his mental health, too. He couldn't believe what was hanging right there in front of him. "No! This can't be true! How is the system working? My money is here, too? The abilities and skills are available, too? How? How in the hell is this happening?" From the pressure on his brain, Cory couldn't tell what would happen to him any moment from now. He was shaking his head. It would seem as though he was trying to use that as a tool to create a contrast with the argument supplanted in his head. "I tried to use my powers to heal Anna, but it didn't work. I tried using Eels of the Wind to go back to my penthouse, but it didn't work either. How then are my abilities available if I couldn't use any of them? It wasn't like this a couple of minutes ago before we had a fight. Stop trying to make a fool out of me!!! I know what you did!" Cory's tone ha
Anna had just been treated and was lying in bed. It's been a while since she had been sleeping. Slowly, her eyelids paved, and her eyes opened. What greeted her eyes first were blinding lights. She had to close the eyes again in order to concentrate the rays of luminescence. Opening her eyes again, she looked to the other side. She wanted to make sure that she didn't make the mistake she made earlier. When she looked, she saw two legs standing in front of her. The person was wearing a pair of black suit trousers. She traced the legs of the person up to the body and then to the face. "Cor---" Her words were cut short when she saw the face of the person. It wasn't whom she had thought she would see. Her brows furrowed, and she tried to sit up. "Where is Cory?" She asked with urgency, her brows curling up. She was trying to make it open to the fellow that she didn't really care about him. What made her even a little bit uncomfortable was the fact that the man was not wearing a la
