"What should I do with this box?"
Currently, Alex is still confused whether to bring the box into his apartment or just throw it in his trash bin."But, upon closer inspection, this doesn't look like a package from a regular courier service. Could it be a gift from someone back in my hometown? Maybe they've sent me a message, but I forgot to check my chat."Alex nods his head several times, trying to maintain a positive outlook on the mysterious box he just found."Alright, I'll bring it inside."Alex then carries the mysterious box into his room, making sure to lock the apartment door."What an exhausting day," Alex mutters while stretching his body.Before uttering those words, Alex had already placed the mysterious box he received earlier on a table in the middle of his apartment.Alex walks towards his desk, not far from his bed where he usually sits. He stares intently at the papers pinned to the wall using a bulletin board."Everything just happened all at once. What's right and what's wrong? I can't seem to differentiate anymore."Alex rubs his face with both hands. For a few seconds, he messes up his hair out of frustration.Alex then folds his hands on the table, burying his face in between them for some time.Alex tries to find the much-needed peace to prevent himself from considering suicide as a last resort."Why does everything feel so unfair, God?!"Alex slams the innocent desk. His mind is in turmoil, making it difficult for him to accept everything after months of enduring a difficult life.It was never in Alex's wildest dreams that his life would become this challenging.Living each day as best as possible without experiencing bullying would be the dream of all human beings on this earth.Alex once imagined such a beautiful life, greeting his colleagues at the office and coming home to a peaceful sleep.However, all those dreams vanished when he first set foot in his current workplace.Everyone seemed cruel, and no one wanted to understand him. They were only interested in making Alex their daily free entertainment.Alex is tired. Alex is exhausted.He can no longer hold himself back from facing it all.Soon, the sound of Alex's resigned sigh fills the room.He reaches out his hand and picks up one of the books piled up in front of him.Diary.Regardless of whether it is true or not that Alex uses a diary, one thing he always remembers is that it is through that diary that he can pour out and express everything.Although Alex is well aware that diaries are typically used by women, it doesn't feel wrong for him to write in it just like any other woman would.Because it is only through the diary that Alex can find peace, often.Alex takes his black ink, writing word by word, pouring out all the emotions he has felt throughout the day.Often, Alex's eyes turn red, trying to hold back the tears that want to escape from his eyelids.Test!Each drop that falls from his eyelids is quickly wiped away by him.At least Alex doesn't want to appear too weak. He believes that he can be stronger than he imagines himself to be.After 5 minutes, the diary is closed again by Alex.This time, the burden on Alex feels lighter. His heart feels calmer than before."At least, regardless of how much time is left, I have to try to keep up appearances. Starting with small things, cleaning myself up and keeping busy by focusing on tidying up this messy room." Alex murmurs, trying to convince himself that the days ahead can be better.Alex then straightens his body, walking towards his blue towel hanging right behind the door of his apartment room."I hope that with a shower, everything will return to normal and feel much better."Relentlessly, those suggestive words keep coming out of his mouth. Hoping that with them, Alex's feelings will become much calmer.Alex drapes his blue towel over his shoulder and walks back to the bathroom to clean himself up.Sigh.Again and again, Alex continues to sigh, his tone sounding resigned. His gaze now shifts towards the bathtub, which he intentionally left filled with running tap water.Alex sits on the floor of his bathroom, staring at the flowing water filling the tub."Why can't life be as easy as the flowing water from this faucet? I wish I could be in the position of this water."Alex contemplates, resting his hand beneath his chin.Even for an inanimate object like water, he feels an intense sense of envy. Yet, it's clear that water has no life of its own."Life is indeed not easy, especially when far from one's parents. If I could turn back time, I would choose to stay with my Mom and Dad."Alex ponders silently in his heart.However, it's like the rice that has already turned into porridge.No matter how much one hopes, the outcome will still be the same. In the end, Alex will indeed be sent to the city since there are far better job opportunities there, vastly different from those in the village.However, if given the choice, Alex would still prefer to work in the village. At least there, his mental and psychological well-being wouldn't be disturbed, considering how friendly and respectful the people in the village are.Perhaps there would only be one or two individuals who harbor ill will towards him, unlike in the city where he currently resides, where he is disliked by all his coworkers.Not a single one of them has ever shown any compassion towards Alex. They only think about themselves and consider someone vulnerable like Alex deserving of such treatment.Alex closes his eyes for quite a while, letting the sound of the running tap water further calm him down.He slowly opens his eyes, accompanied by a long sigh.His hand then reaches out to grab the dipper in the bathroom tub."Farewell to the wounds that should not exist within me!"Alex pours the water over his body, using several scoops filled with water.The stinging sensation of the wounds that he has yet to heal seems to be disregarded by Alex.Along with the desire for inner peace and tranquility within Alex's soul, the pain of those wounds seems to disappear.Alex continues to pour water over his body for quite some time before finally rising and drying himself with the towel he had hung earlier.When a gust of air from the room's AC touches his body, a slight sting is felt around the gaping wound on Alex's body."I thought it wouldn't hurt. But it's actually quite painful."Alex murmurs in his heart. He then guides his steps towards his wardrobe."Comfortable casual clothes seem more fitting. Besides, I don't have any plans for tonight."Alex takes the clothes hanging in the wardrobe.After putting on clothes to cover his freshly bathed body, Alex turns around and looks at every corner of his room, which appears far from being called tidy."I never knew when my room would become this messy."Alex sighs. Regardless, he is the only one living in that apartment, so it's clear that he is responsible for cleaning up the room that looks like a shipwreck."Cheer up! Living alone is more enjoyable!" Alex suggests to himself.Alex smiles before starting to clean his room.At first, he gathers all his scattered belongings from the floor. Multiple times, Alex crumples up papers and puts them into a large plastic bag for easier disposal later.Not forgetting, Alex also tidies up his bed, which at that moment cannot be described properly anymore.After ensuring that there are no more used items scattered on the floor, Alex picks up the broom from the corner of his room.With agility, Alex starts sweeping the floor of his room. In every corner, he pays close attention to ensure no dust is left behind.Alex wipes the sweat dripping from his forehead.He also takes care of other household chores, washing the dishes he used and mopping the floor of his apartment room.After approximately 45 minutes of cleaning, Alex's room now looks much better, from one end to the other. There is no trace of the shipwreck-like appearance; instead, it appears like a tidy museum with everything placed in its proper position."Everything can be sorted out. Finally! Finished!"Alex then lies down on the neatly made bed, which he just tidied up himself."If you have any wounds, don't forget to treat them, my dear. Don't let the wounds linger like this. Watch out if Mom finds out, she will give you a scolding!"As Alex lay there, looking up at the ceiling, suddenly his mother's voice starts to echo in his ears.In a hurry, he quickly gets up from his bed. Alex crawls towards the nightstand near his bed.He opens one of the drawers and takes out the first aid kit box that has been there since he first moved into the apartment."I must always remember my mother's advice. I shouldn't make her worry about my well-being here."Alex murmurs in his thoughts. He then opens the first aid kit box.He pours the red medicine onto the available cotton in the first aid kit box.Alex slowly applies the cotton mixed with the red medicine. Occasionally, a small wince escapes his mouth as the red medicine touches his wound."If only Mom were here. She would scold me while taking care of my wounds. I really miss her. I wonder how she's doing back in the village. It's been a while since I last contacted her."Once he finishes treating his wound, Alex takes his laptop to contact his parents who are far away in the village.Alex got so caught up in cleaning his room and his longing for his parents that he forgot about the box lying on his table."Assalamualaikum, my child!"A smile spreads across Alex's face as his mother's face appears on the laptop screen."Wa'alaikumsalam, Mom. How are you doing? Is everything okay?" Alex begins the small talk.His mother nods her head. It is evident that the interaction between Alex and his mother reflects how much they miss each other but are separated by a considerable distance.They continue to chat, mainly discussing trivial matters."How is your work, my child? Is everything going well?"Alex falls silent for a while. He doesn't know what to say at this moment."Alhamdulillah, everything is fine, Mom. It's all thanks to your prayers as well."Alex is forced to lie, not wanting to cause any worries within his mother.Unable to bear looking at his mother's face after his lie, Alex decides to end the call."I still have more work to do, Mom. Please turn off the phone, Mom. When I have free time, I will definitely call you again. Take care, Mom, and Dad, back in the village. I'll transfer money for you when my salary comes. Bye."Alex smiles and ends the phone call.He closes his eyes and lets out a long sigh. For the first time in his life, Alex had to lie to his mother."I don't have any other choice," Alex mutters with a weak tone.As Alex is about to close his eyes, the box that he had forgotten suddenly makes a sound, capturing his attention.Alex walks over to the box, filled with curiosity."Is that sound coming from this box?" Alex wonders to himself.Not wanting to prolong his curiosity, Alex opens the box.As soon as the box is opened, he finds a futuristic gadget that looks unfamiliar to him.Not only that, but there is also a piece of paper inside.Alex takes the paper and reads it with a furrowed brow, feeling puzzled.[System that will grant any power to its chosen individual]Related Chapters

Alex stared intently at the piece of paper now in his hand."What does this letter mean? The system will grant powers according to its choice? Wait, what does that even mean? I don't understand it at all."Alex shakes his head, trying to comprehend the meaning of the letter but ends up feeling more confused.His thoughts wander aimlessly, and it becomes difficult for Alex to understand his own mind."This doesn't seem like a package sent by someone I know. If my mother or someone from the village sent something to me, they wouldn't write such a cryptic note."Alex murmurs in his thoughts, attempting to convince himself that what he is seeing is not a gift from anyone he knows."Especially the strange words written on this paper. It's hard to decipher. So, it's impossible for people from the village to have sent it."Alex becomes more certain in his thoughts.He then reaches out to pick up the futuristic gadget, examining it carefully from every angle."Hmm... How do I use this gadget?

Alex stretches his body, preparing to sit back on his bed and gather his thoughts."Was last night just a dream? It's impossible for me to have become that strong," Alex murmurs, a bewildered smile on his face.He still can't believe what happened last night, how Angga and Adam ran away in a panic. It's usually Alex who acts that way, not them.Alex takes a deep breath, his hands reaching up to massage his temples, trying to alleviate the lingering confusion."Come on, Alex! You need to start a new day with new activities!" he encourages himself. He then throws back the covers that were previously covering his body.Somehow, Alex's gaze is spontaneously drawn to the lonely gadget resting on the table. The screen of the gadget remains lifeless, just as he saw it last.Alex had disposed of the box and the letter that came with the gadget yesterday. He doesn't understand why he left the gadget behind while getting rid of the other items.He considers the gadget to be a reminder of how fo

Alex was still puzzled by the recent turn of events. Accepting the position as Director Kim's personal assistant was something that had never crossed his mind before. A mix of happiness and nervousness overwhelmed him. Nevertheless, he knew that this was a significant opportunity for him to prove his capabilities.Not wanting to waste any time, Alex immediately set about preparing everything. He diligently noted down all the instructions given by Director Kim and promptly studied the topics that would be discussed in the meeting. Alex was filled with enthusiasm and committed to giving his best in this opportunity.He ignored the puzzled gazes of all the employees staring at him. Alex didn't care about that at all; the most important thing now was that he would be leaving the toxic environment of being in the same room with them. No one would disturb him anymore because he was moving to a new position as Director Kim's personal assistant.Time flew by, and the time for the meeting arri

Alex's heart was pounding rapidly as he saw the gadget he believed was on the table suddenly disappear.Alex felt increasingly puzzled. He searched for the whereabouts of the gadget, which was the key to all of these events, but couldn't find it in his apartment. Restlessness and curiosity made him more and more distressed."I'm sure I placed the gadget on the table," Alex said while continuing to look for the device he accidentally obtained in front of his apartment door.Alex wandered through the rooms in his apartment, from the bedroom to the bathroom, but the gadget was clearly nowhere to be found."How could it just vanish like that? Did I forget to move it?" Alex mumbled as he rubbed his forehead, which was now starting to ache.Alex tried to rack his brain to find answers to this oddity. Could it be possible that someone else entered his apartment and took the gadget? But how could anyone know about the gadget?The more Alex thought about the gadget, the more he felt dizzy. Som

"W-what? What do you mean by kissing Lisa?"Alex was taken aback for a moment; he never expected his first quest to involve kissing a girl, especially one who wasn't easily approachable."How am I supposed to do that? It's impossible. Lisa is Bayu's girlfriend; she would never kiss me."Alex disagreed with the quest given to him, but when he tried to say no, he realized that the quest board had disappeared."Where's the quest board? Why did it suddenly vanish?"Alex looked around to the right and left, but the quest board was completely gone, leaving him puzzled."I can't possibly do this. But, I'll also fail to get the confidence card. So, what should I do?"Alex paced back and forth in his apartment, feeling confused about how he could kiss Lisa. Especially since she was Bayu's girlfriend, and if Bayu found out, Alex would be in trouble."Should I just give up?"As Alex wrestled with his thoughts, suddenly someone rang his apartment doorbell. Alex was a bit surprised because he rare

Alex chuckled at Lisa's quip, trying to release some of the tension within him. He was still somewhat hesitant but didn't want to worsen the situation by refusing Lisa's offer."No, thank you, Lis. But I feel better going back to my own apartment and resting. I appreciate your offer," Alex said with a friendly smile.Lisa nodded understandingly, though she seemed a bit disappointed. "Alright, as you wish. But if there's anything, don't hesitate to let me know.""Sure, Lis. I'll be fine," Alex replied with a false sense of confidence.Alex turned around and walked away from Lisa's apartment. He felt relieved to have avoided the somewhat awkward situation. However, at the same time, his curiosity and confusion about the given quest grew stronger.Back in his own apartment, Alex sat on a chair, gazing out the window. He pondered and tried to solve the puzzle of the quest at hand. But the more he thought about it, the more complicated the answer seemed."Why does this quest have to involv

"Alex, are you okay?"Suddenly, a hand waved right in front of Alex's face. He looked quite surprised to see that the hand belonged to Lisa."Are you okay?" The question was thrown again by the woman when there was no response from the man in front of her.Quickly, Alex shook his head. It seemed like he was too preoccupied with his thoughts, which led to him daydreaming like this."So, I didn't really ask Lisa to kiss me, did I?" Alex murmured softly."Did you say something? It sounded like you said something just now," Lisa said, not quite hearing what Alex said, but she clearly heard him speak."No, I just came here because I need something."Lisa frowned. Since when did this man have the audacity to say something? Let alone express a request."Tell me what you want, it's already late, and I will kill you if you dare to mess with me."Alex swallowed his saliva, Lisa's words just now made him lose his nerve. Luckily, he didn't confess that he wanted to kiss Lisa outright, or else he

In the morning, as usual, Alex stepped out of his apartment. Somehow, he had a really refreshing sleep last night, making him feel enthusiastic about starting his day.Lisa, who had just come out of her apartment, frowned when she saw Alex stepping out as well."Why do I have to run into a creepy guy like you? You shouldn't be living next to me."Alex furrowed his brows upon hearing Lisa's words. After all, he had been living here first, so why was she saying that?"I was here first, why should I leave? Shouldn't it be you who leaves instead?"After saying that, Alex hurriedly entered the elevator, leaving Lisa stunned by his response.How could Alex dare to speak up like that? Normally, he would just lower his head and agree, but now he said something that left Lisa speechless.Lisa was still standing there in disbelief with what Alex said, especially since he just walked away like that."What's happening? How can Alex stand up to me like that?"Lisa quickly chased after Alex, who ha

Alex walked out of Lisa's apartment in a lackluster manner. His hopes of getting back into a relationship with her were now dashed, as she had betrayed him.How could she have done that? Really Alex you think at all if Lisa and her sister are no different, where they both betrayed her and had an affair with another man. The heartache of being betrayed for the second time, made Alex not want to know women for now.It feels like Alex doesn't want to be in a relationship with anyone right now. He wants to heal the wounds of his heart that really feel so painful.By driving his car, Alex sped away from the apartment. Before long, Alex had arrived in front of Alberto's magnificent house.He took a deep breath and let it out roughly.

Alex went home satisfied. He now had a piece of evidence. He would use that evidence to reject the arranged marriage between himself and Marenly."Lisa will be very happy to hear this news," said Alex who immediately took his cell phone and wanted to tell this news to the woman.Meanwhile at the apartment, as Lisa's teasing continued, Brian's resolve began to crumble, like sand being washed away by the tide. Lisa's soft and sensual touch made his body shiver, and he knew that soon he would succumb to Lisa's advances.It was then that Brian in a brief moment of clarity, found himself studying Lisa's features. She was definitely in her 20s, but her body was still slim and alluring. And her skin, smooth and luminous, belied her age, making it difficult to distinguish her from younger women if one didn't look closely enough.It was during this quiet observation that Brian, either consciously or unconsciously, slipped up and asked Lisa a question.

This morning, Alex decided to call Jordi and meet him in the room. As he had discussed with Lisa, Alex had to be able to prove that Marenly had served him.There was no way Alex could marry that woman. As much as possible Alex had to find out and find evidence of what he had done at that time.Moments later, the door that had been closed opened. Jordi came in bowing his body."Good morning Mr. Alex. Is there anything I can help you with?" Jordi asked straight to the point when he was already in Alex's room.Alex nodded his head, indicating that he had called Jordi because there was an assignment to be given to Jordi."I want you to look for evidence that Marenly really set me up. You can ask the middle-aged woman in the villa. After all, that middle-aged woman is a witness, you should be able to get her to confess."Jordi nodded his head indicating that he understood Alex's instructions.

Alex was a little surprised when he saw a woman just come out of Lisa's apartment. The woman was none other than Calista, Lisa's sister."Hi, Calista, I just want to go to Lisa's apartment."Calista who heard it frowned slightly. Even though Lisa was still at the office and hadn't come home yet, Alex was already in front of her."I know Lisa is still at the office, but for some reason I wanted to go to Lisa's apartment and wait for her here."Calista just nodded her head. Although Calista did not agree with their relationship at first, but seeing Lisa like Alex, Calista could not help but approve of their relationship and bury her desire to get back together with Alex.However, the sisterhood between herself and Lisa was more important than a man, so Calista chose to give in."Okay, you can come in, Alex.

Of course, there were pros and cons about it.Bisa, who had just arrived, placed her briefcase on her desk. She tried to look at some of the employees who were currently gathered.

Alex woke up with a heavy head. His head was so heavy that he couldn't stand up.The man tried to sit up, trying to remember what had happened to him. Although he had tried several times to remember what had happened to him, but in fact Alex did not remember anything at all.Alex shook his head, trying to relieve the pain that accompanied his head."Where am I?"Alex tried to look right and left. Trying to see the situation that happened to him. He was a little confused because he was in a room that belonged to no one."I seem to have fainted."Alex also tried to move from there, until suddenly his hand held something that made Alex frown. With a pounding heart, Alex tried to glance to his right. His eyes rounded perfectly when he saw a woman sleeping next to him, but that wasn't the only thing that surprised Alex, but the woman was currently sleeping without wearing anything."Arghh!"Alex tried to pull back the blanket. He was so surprised when he found himself not wearing any cloth
