This is it. I'm finished. Hayden's expression was grim as he heard Luna's response.

Immediately, he knew things were about to go downhill.

Hot?

How did things turn out this way?

Again and again. Hayden continued to question himself.

How could this be?!

Right. It's all because of Tina! As soon as this thought crossed his mind, he turned to look at Tina at once.His expression was filled with hatred and resentment.

If it wasn't for her. Iwouldn't try to provoke Christopher in the first place, and if I didn't provoke him, today's situation would not unfold.And if this didn't happen, I wouldn't be forced to leave The Serenade, this was all because of her!

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. In the next second, he raised his hand and slapped Tina's face hard.

Slap! It was loud.The crisp sound of the slap echoed through the room and everyone heard it.

Taken aback, Tina froze. The last thing she would have expected was for Hayden to slap her in front of everyone.Aft

She took out a document from a folder and began scanning through it.Without saying anything further, Christopher left the office after nodding slightly at Luna. He closed the door behind him gently. Once he left. Luna raised her head to double-check. In fact, there were no documents waiting for her to review. At once, she threw aside the documents and took out her mobile phone to make a call."Hi, big sis, what made you call?" As soon as the call connected, an adorable female voice came from the speaker. Judging from her tone, she was young."Big sis?" Hearing how this lady addressed her.she merely let out a chuckle."So I'm big sis to you now?""Well, not

    Conflict[Truth Juice allows the consumer to only speak of the truth. Its effect lasts for 30 minutes. With pulps and fruit chunks, it is best consumed chilled."Those words were printed on the alloy can as the introduction of the Truth Juice.]"They even threw in something funny. But why isn't it something that gives you special skills of some sort?"Reading the introduction of the product. Christopher couldn't help but feel disappointed. The prize that he imagined was supposed to be on par with exclusive techniques like Dual Wielding. It's still better than nothing. At least that was how he consoled himself as he bagged the Truth Juice.Arriving at the station, he kept the juice well and put his phone into his pocket before alighting the public transport.The single apartment that he rented was located among a number of low-rise buildings which made up a residential area. In this area,there were all sorts of people, most of whom were in a similar situation as Christopher's; they were

    Was He Possessed? "What do you want? Christopher said exasperatedly."Pay!" Sean wore an irritated expression before adding."You must pay back!"'Is he trying to blame it on me now?' Christopher thought to himself as he frowned.He was unsure whether or not he caused the button to fall off, but Versace?You must be joking!Although Christopher didn't have the luxury to wear clothes from that brand, he had seen Luna wearing it various times. Anyone could tell that from the fabric and quality that Sean's shirt was highly likely counterfeit products that were often sold in roadside stalls. 200 bucks was the ceiling price for it. Moreover, people who could afford to wear such luxurious brands wouldn't bother about such petty issues.Unwilling to argue with Sean, Christopher simply brushed past him, wanting to walk away.Just as he attempted to do so, Sean grabbed Christopher's collar before saying,"Hey,are you trying to escape?""Listen up you punk! You must pay me back today. Otherwi

    I've Memorized You'After those words rolled off Sean's tongue. he was on the brink of tears.'Why can't I control my own mouth?! Why can't I control it?! Stop spilling the beans!'When Christopher heard Sean's confession about his sexual disease, he couldn't help himself and laughed out loud.It was unexpected that Sean, who seemed educated and refined with his glasses and all, was such a man.It took Christopher a solid two-minute to grudgingly stop laughing. Wiping off the tears at the corner of his eyes, he pointed at Samantha before he continued to ask."What's your relationship with this girl?"At once, Sean thought to himself, I'm doomed.At the same time, his heart dropped. Obviously, he did not want to answer Christopher's question, but it was beyond his control."There's no relationship between us, but Samantha's mother is a patient at our hospital.""Is she very sick?""It's quite severe. She's still in a coma as we speak.""Then can you help her?""No?"“Why?""That's beca

    The last protege.In a room of clouds; five beings sat down and while four out of the five scowled with grimace on their faces, the fifth being echoed the hall with his laughter.“My protege sure is resourceful. He made good use of the truth serum. Hahahahah!”“And they say I cheated by giving my protege the Ophelus system of wealth. Alkoli, you're a real cheat! Not only did you choose a living person in this timeline, but you even gave him a system.”“I still believe Ren Davis has a chance to soar to the top. I just know it.”Let's see if you'll still be hopeful when you see my chosen protege; The Ghost of Elisium, Michaelis.”*“Ghost, can you hear me?”Michaelis heard the voice of a teenage girl through his earpiece.“Loud and clear, pink.” Michaelis said while adjusting the tie looking at the mirror. A handsome young man of late twenties stared back at him.“I do look good.” Michaelis grinned at his reflection.“What was that, Ghost?”“Nothing. Has the target entered the building

    A new life.“What the hell!?”Michaelis was so confused and everywhere he turned, he could only see the color white like he was caged in a white box. “What's happening?” He slapped his face but he didn't feel any pain. “Huh?”He knew he should have felt something as he tried to slap himself again but his palm went right through him. “It can't be, just relax.”Realizing something's very wrong, he took a deep breath and closed his eyes, and opened them again. But even then, nothing was changed.“Am I dead? What was that voice I heard earlier?” he was trained to remain calm in any situation as panicking would only make things worse in his line of work. Yet, no matter how hard he tried to calm and simply make sense out of this situation, he simply couldn't.“Am I drugged? No, my watch would have indicated if there were any unknown substance in my blood.” As he said, he lifted his wrist to look at his watch but his Rolex was nowhere to be found on his wrist, and in fact, he was naked.

    Divine SkillsAfter crawling away from the river, Michaelis found a big tree and sat under it to familiarize himself with the system.“Hey system, come up.” he ordered in his mind as the interface popped up before him. He could see the tabs such as Host, shop, storage, subordinates, and upgrades.Michaelis looked left and right to see if anyone or anything was coming but weirdly everything seemed paused.«While you access the system, the time will be momentarily slowed down until the host quit the system.»“Wow, cool!” his brows raised in surprise hearing the robotic voice.“Open host.”The system opened the host tab and like in roleplaying games, his naked body appeared before him along with his stats.«Host: MichaelisRace: HumanRank: Foundation stage, level 1Experience points: 4,000/20,000Reaper points: 0Current skills: NoneOccupation: NoneStatus: HealthyGoals: NoneNotable skills: Above average in marksmanship, proficient in close combat.»“Proficient huh?”Ramiel's skills m

    Strike FirstMichaelis was searching his mind to find anything that could help him survive in this world while the heavy rain was pouring from the sky. On earth, he would spend most of his time preparing before he actually eliminating the target. He deeply valued Intel and preparation but after searching his mind, he couldn't help but feel extremely unprepared.“Am I missing Pink?”He shook his head.“Hey, system, what happened to my body back in my world?”«The Host's body was disintegrated during the crossing over.»“Well, at least my reputation won't take a hit and those losers won't find me.”Since his body was destroyed, the cops and the federal agents won't find him and he would still remain as a myth, a ghost to them who had a hundred percent success rate in assassinations. While proudly grinning about his reputation, he suddenly heard footsteps and hissing sounds.He quickly checked the other branches near him to see if there's a snake nearby but when he focused, he found tha

    At wits endGarrick Gayle trudged through the rain-soaked streets, his eyes cast down at the pavement. It had been months since his family disowned him, blaming him for his father's death. The pain still lingered, a constant ache in his chest.As he turned a corner, he spotted a familiar figure leaning against a graffiti-covered wall. It was Vex, the leader of the gang Garrick had joined a few weeks ago."Yo, Garrick! What's up, man?" Vex called out, his voice laced with a hint of excitement.Garrick shrugged, approaching Vex. "Just trying to stay dry, I guess."Vex chuckled. "You're always so gloomy, Garrick. Lighten up, man! We've got a score to settle tonight."Garrick raised an eyebrow. "What kind of score?"Vex grinned mischievously. "We're hitting a convenience store on 5th Street. Easy in, easy out. We'll make some quick cash and have some fun."Garrick hesitated, his mind racing with the risks. But Vex's enthusiasm was infectious, and he found himself nodding along."Alright,

    La beteOmega sat down in front of Kahn and bowed his head without looking Kahn in the eyes. It felt as if Omega was submitting himself and acknowledging Kahn as it's master. The next moment, Kahn felt a connection towards Omega as of the wolf was an extension of his own body and consciousness.“Do you understand what I'm saying?” Kahn asked Omega to check whether his guess was right.Omega nodded in response and stood back up.“Good. Now go and hunt something I could eat. Not too big and meat shouldn't be too hard to chew.” Kahn commanded Omega. Since je was under the weakened state, he barely had strength to walk and could not go to find something to eat.He thought about having something to eat first because he had no energy left in him and meat was the best source to regain strength.After Omega ran off towards the bushes and completely disappeared out of his sight, Kahn called to the system again.“System, can you help me create fire?” Kahn asked curiously.«What am I, your mothe

He already expected something like this to happen when he killed the red wolf and heard the Ding sound in his head.To his surprise, he not only learned how to activate War Dominance but he also broke through the current threshold of his capacity and already went past his limits to meet the conditions to unlock his War Deity Body.

There was no system panel or screen board for him to check these notifications in a list or scroll through them one by one.

    BattleDerek's new body.. now Kahn.. was something he always dreamt of and wanted to have in his ideal standards of a physical body. He was six-feet and three-inches tall, normal white skin tone same as his previous life. He had an angled but somewhat wider jaw. His face was well proportioned and very handsome. He had bulging muscles and six pack abs. Unlike his previous life, this time his hair color was completely black and not brown. They were smooth, soft, and wavy. His hair was done from the right side from his perspective. They were long but not till his shoulder length long either. His eyes were black, unlike his former life where they were blue. It was not to stand out or being assumed as someone from a particular region because blue eyes were always most noticeable part of particular countries or regions. Black hair and eye color was very universal on the other hand.His built was very balanced. His upper body had wider shoulders and big arms, his chest was big enough to ali

    The VoidIn the void of nothingness, where the flow of time itself didn't exist and not even a ray of light could be seen. This place was neither Heaven nor Hell. It was just an infinite space filled with absolute nothing as if the concept of life and death did not exist here.Suddenly, a crack in space appeared out of nowhere, it kept elongating at an extremely fast speed and in an instant, it stretched around ten kilometers and a gigantic figure sitting on a black stone throne which was no less than a size of a mountain itself emerged from the other side of the void.This figure was akin to the height of a couple of mountains, completely clad in majestic black clothes and had a hood on the head almost resembling the Grim Reaper itself. Its face could not be seen as if it didn't exist. It looked around for a moment and waved its right hand and created a space of its own, widening for a dozen kilometers and stabilizing itself like forming a gigantic barrier.An ancient voice, so deep
