"The awakening of the Almighty System? How is that possible?" Xavier shouted, his voice trembling with fear.
When Johnson and several security guards heard the unfamiliar words, they were puzzled and confused.
However, Xavier was no ordinary man. He knew secrets that ordinary people did not.
In the West Coast, random people are mysteriously awakening a system in them, in grants them unimaginable power and money. He himself had been hoping he would be chosen by this system but he's been unlucky so far
There were rumours that you could buy the system with money but you'll have to meet with someone that already awoken it; those people are hard to find cause you don't know who has or has not awaken the system
As for Lincoln Zane, he's sure they are now sworn enemies.
At that time, he was seriously injured. He could do nothing as his best friend was being beaten, making him feel deeply helpless. Endless rage surged within him as a violent aura hung over his mind.
The anger rushed into his heart as he fainted. The flow of light emitted by his heart instantly disappeared between his eyebrows. A large amount of information rushed into his mind, almost making his head explode.
The information quickly merged with his memory and he knew everything he had to do to win this fight
Compared to these changes, the most shocking thing was the changes in his eyes. According to the information, he learned that the system had given him the ability to see more than the eye's could, more like tracking.
This system had brought great changes to Lincoln Zane. His strength, speed, will, etc. had all greatly improved. He was more powerful than ordinary people. However, he did not know this yet, so he needed more time to explore it.
It was a long story, but the whole process only took a few minutes.
After obtaining the system, Lincoln Zane's injury recovered. He was in a trance before and couldn't move at all. However, he was clear about the things happening around him.
When Xavier waved his dagger to stab Johnson, Lincoln Zane finally burst out and instantly activated all his skills according to the new information he got. Something strange happened, and everything changed in his eyes. First, the enemy's clothes disappeared.
Then, his vision became deep. Through the skin, he saw blood flowing and muscles shrinking. Everything seemed mysterious as if he were looking at a 3D image, which was indescribably wonderful.
Lincoln Zane also noticed that everyone's movements had slowed down a lot, just like slow-motion playback. That's why he could grab Xavier's hand immediately.
"Your... your strength..." Xavier's voice trembled. He was horrified, and his face turned red because he couldn't withdraw his arm even with all his strength. After all, Lincoln Zane's strength was not the same as his strength a few minutes ago.
The sudden reversal of circumstances was inappropriate for Xavier. He was lost.
"Lincoln, you..." Johnson's face was full of blood, and his eyes widened. He didn't know why such a strange thing would happen. But as a careless person, he wouldn't think about something he couldn't understand.
Johnson had initially prepared to die, but he did not expect things to work out again. If there was a way out, of course, he would not want to die. Johnson was so excited that he unconsciously called Lincoln Zane's nickname.
Lincoln Zane gave Johnson a reassuring look and said strangely to Xavier, "I want you to pay a hundredfold for hurting my friend. By the way, didn't you say you would let us go as long as we could withstand a knife strike? I'll give you a taste of your own medicine. If you could survive a knife strike, I'll let you go.
With these words, a dark look crossed Lincoln Zane's eyes. Then, he forcefully broke Xavier's arm.
Crack!
"Ouch!"
Xavier couldn't help but cry out. He was in so much pain that his teeth were chattering, and he was breaking out in cold sweats. Getting one's arm broken by someone was unbearable pain for ordinary people.
The sudden turn of events was beyond everyone's expectations. Lincoln Zane had a magnificent transformation and launched a perfect counterattack.
At that moment, Lincoln Zane, like a cold-blooded butcher, picked up the dagger from the ground and violently stabbed it into Xavier's chest. Xavier's boiling blood spurted out and splattered everywhere.
However, Lincoln Zane did not stop. He pulled out the dagger and stabbed it into Xavier's thigh. "Oops, I gave you another stab. My bad, haha."
Xavier was on the verge of collapsing. His face was pale, and his teeth were chattering. He wanted to fight back, but he couldn't. He had experienced what Lincoln Zane had experienced before.
"Devil, you're a devil! Several security guards trembled all over and hysterically roared. In their eyes, Lincoln Zane was already a devilish existence. Although they had all been cruel and ruthless, they were scared by Lincoln Zane's malicious methods at that moment.
"Haha... Am I a demon? That's ridiculous. I'm just giving you a taste of your own medicine. I'm treating you the same way you treated me."
"Didn't you have a good time beating us up earlier? I want you to experience the same feelings."
Lincoln Zane laughed sinisterly. He thought it was ridiculous of them to consider him a devil. If he hadn't obtained the God's Pride Legacy, he and his best friend would have been killed.
"You know you'll have to pay the price sooner or later. Haha..."
Lincoln Zane laughed wildly. As long as he could protect his best friend, he was willing to become a demon.
Then, he made a gesture and effortlessly overturned several security guards. He also broke each of their legs as punishment.
Several security guards lay on the ground, screaming miserably. A sense of fear spread in their hearts, and they wanted to skin Lincoln Zane alive.
"Where's your prestige now? Weren't you very awesome? Come on! I'll let you hit me now." Johnson saw that the bodyguards were all rolling on the ground, and he immediately became spirited. He kept kicking and cursing at them. His 200-pound body weight was not in vain, as each of his kicks was deadly.
It was so noisy in the private room that it attracted the attention of people outside. Lincoln Zane was afraid someone would call the police, so he pulled Johnson and hastily said, "Fatso, go start the car first. We'll leave immediately."
Johnson nodded. He also knew that today's matter was a bit serious, so they had to leave as soon as possible.
"Xavier, isn't it? You can revenge on me at any time. But let me warn you. If you dare to touch my best friend, you will disappear from the world forever. Never challenge my limits."
Lincoln Zane patted Xavier's face as a murderous look crossed his eyes. Without waiting for Xavier's response, he turned around and left.
"Hmph, what's wrong with an ancient warrior? Today's matter is not over, and I will make you pay for it." Xavier held his leg with one hand and looked fierce. He swore in his heart because he was not resigned.
Lincoln Zane walked out and found a commotion outside. Many servers were shouting and screaming, and some people were even calling the police.
After looking around, he couldn't find Roland. Without staying any longer, Lincoln Zane ran out directly.
He didn't leave hastily out of fear. On the contrary, he just wanted to explore the mysterious system. There were things he still didn't understand. Therefore, he had to understand it before he could be reassured. After all, it was closely related to his future fate, so he couldn't take it lightly.
Johnson waited for Lincoln Zane to get in the car before leaving. As Lincoln Zane turned back towards the l
uxurious Heavenly Inn, he swore that he would make that giant monster submit to him one day.
“What the hell was that?” Johnson exclaimed. He doesn't know if he should be scared or happy, either way, his friend just did something impossible. Well, not entirely impossible“I think you've just awoken the system. It's been going around these days. I heard it in in a brothel not long ago. There was this guy also…”Johnson kept on rambling as he was driving but Lincoln gave no response, he was fully occupiedAll of his attention is placed of the words in his sight that only he could see[Welcome to The Almighty System][Authenticating Identity…][Authentication Success: Lincoln Zane, 18, Student, Orphan][Introduction: The Almighty System requires you to complete missions, in return, you'll get unexpected rewards][Mission: Serve Justice.

The fifteen minutes ride started taking forever in Lincoln's sight. He wanted nothing more than to get out of this car. He opened the system again and checked his chat but the guy hasn't replied“Can I run faster than a car yet?” Lincoln wondered “maybe not yet” he responded to himself and waited for the long ride to end. Not long after, the car parked in front of his house “Take care if yourself Johnson, I'll see you later” Lincoln rushed into his room and sat on his bed “Now, let's check you out”Lincoln opened the system and click on [Go to Mission].[To go to Mission you need 1 Transportation scroll][You can only use Transportation Scroll once per week][You have 1 Transportation Scroll, you can get more by completing missions][Are you sure you want to use 1 Transportation Scroll?

"Please, I’ll give you anything you want! I will fulfill any request within my power!" Bolton promised him."Sir, please calm down. I have to know what’s going before I can be of aid," Lincoln tried to speak in a manner that matched his identity.In real life, Lincoln had not come across the detective genre.The memories he had gained through the key did not include investigating skills either.Therefore, at the time Lincoln could only imitate books and movies inspired from Sherlock Holmes.He had to imitate almost everything. The way he spoke, the way he moved, everything. It seemed to work on the businessman though.The man calmed down and continued, "Oh my, excuse my manners. I’m too anxious over this! Please understand that my daughter is missing, and as a father, I’m extremely worried," he apologized before he elaborated on the incident, "It was just yesterday morning that we discovered that Arya was missing from this very manor. I was with my wife here, and we asked the maid to
The wagon was traveling very fast.The wheels kept crashing on the ground while Lincoln and Bolton were shaking helplessly inside the cabin. Neither of them talked much.Bolton was worried about his daughter, and Lincoln was thinking about the Mission Worlds."Mission Worldss are created randomly!"Lincoln had asked Evilgenius how the underground game Mission Worldss were created, and Evilgenius had given him a verified answer.Then another question had come up.What if the Inmates entered this Mission Worlds without a skill akin to [Tracking]?The answer was obvious.It was all arranged accordingly at the beginning of the Mission Worlds.When Lincoln had realized this, he had already been on his way to Bolton’s manor on the horse wagon.It was not a free condition. Instead, it was ingrained into the game’s story.No matter what kind of Inmate entered the game, and what strengths or skill sets they had, they would automatically be in that state at the beginning of the story.If the In
"I’ll need to hear all the details, from beginning to end!" Lincoln requested as he looked at the simple description of the Sub Mission."Aren’t you looking for Bolton’s daughter? That prick treated every one of our officers like his own servants!" Johnny expressed his dissatisfaction with Bolton.He looked at Lincoln in disdain for a second, but he still revealed everything he knew about the case to him."The body was discovered by a drunkard near the train station just this morning. It had been left there like trash, dumped into a corner. I’ve came across a lot of evil men, but none of them would have treated a dead body like that!"As he spoke about the murder case at hand, Johnny looked frustrated. He mechanically lit up a cigarette, offering Lincoln one as well.Lincoln refused.He told Johnny that he had brought his own smoking pipe.There was no tobacco in it and Lincoln had no matches on him, but he still managed to convince John."Pipes are too messy for me, cigarettes are mo
Before the hand could reach Lincoln’s coat pocket, Lincoln grabbed it hard and twisted it.The sound of bones dislocating was heard.[Grasping: Overpowered Target by 2 Levels, Inflicted 20 Damage to Target HP, Dislocated Target’s arm...]"Let go! Let go! MY HAND!" the thief screamed in agony.In the face of sheer pain, the thief did not remember to hide his face. He just shouted with all his might, his body kneeling down due to the immense pain, snot and tears covering his face in an instant.The sudden shouts and change of events attracted the crowd’s attention.They even attracted the killer with the hostage and Carl, who had been confronting him.The killer was quicker than Carl though.He pushed the hostage straight into Carl’s face, preventing him from moving forward, and then swung his dagger around madly, pushing through the crowd.The crowd saw the crazy killer with the swinging dagger, and quickly moved out of his way.In an instant, a safe path was carved out through the cro
"Sister Mony!" the middle-aged guard greeted the woman with respect.Lincoln could tell that she had not earned that kind of respect because of her age or status as a sister."Leave it to me, Reek," the elderly Sister replied with a kind, warm smile."Yes, Sister!" Reek took a bow and walked away.As he passed by Lincoln, his eyes were full of warning.He did not go far though. He stopped just beside the school gate and stood guard there.Lincoln was sure that if he behaved inappropriately towards the Sister in any way, Reek would rush over in a flash and pull out his gun without a second thought.His immense awareness said it all."Reek has no hostile intentions. He is a responsible man, it’s just that at times he can be a little... reckless," the Sister explained to Lincoln with a kind smile.She had the same expression she’d had when she’d talked to Reek, as if Lincoln and Reek were the same person to her.Her attitude made Lincoln feel a little uneasy.He could not have done it, s
The huge potential rewards did not make Lincoln lose his chill.Quite the opposite, he became even calmer than before.He knew very well that gaining huge rewards would definitely not be an easy task.It didn’t matter if Gunthersfield was an ally or a foe. Lincoln would still need to spend all his effort on trying to obtain them.If Gunthersfield was a friend, Lincoln would need to raise their relationship level through the quest. In other words, the friendlier he got, the higher Lincoln’s chance of getting equipment or skills would be.If Gunthersfield was a foe, things would be much simpler. All Lincoln would need to do was gather enough strength and hope to overpower and defeat him. In other words, kill him and make him drop all his equipment and skills.However, Lincoln was still far from earning the farming equipment he was thinking of.He needed to solve the problem at hand first.Helped by the strong wind, Gunthersfield ’s punch was already within meters from Lincoln.Lincoln d
