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
Apologize later“Three more.” Michaelis told himself and stealthily moved towards the remaining snakes while the girl was pretty stunned to see him and the grin on his face as he walked past her, it sent a cold chill running through her spine. He slowly made his way to the three snakes and crouched behind the snake who was peacefully sleeping in the middle without any idea of the threat behind him.“Diddle, diddle we are so little.”The moment he said it, he stabbed the snakes one by one lightning fast. Each of his stabs were precise and deep as the ding sounds confirmed the kills.«Ding!Congrats to the host for killing a body refining stage level 7 cultivator.
