A flash of memory appeared in Bastian's mind about what Lucia had said. At that time, she had told him about her relationship with Alex. She also told him that Alex had long divorced his ex-wife.Bastian had never seen what Alex's ex-wife looked like, but was it possible that the woman Alex was with now was Jasmine?At this hour, shouldn't Alex still be working at Bi's company. Yet, why was he here with that woman?Bastian's eyes suddenly widened as a thought occurred to him.Was Alex having an affair? He was skipping work just to meet that woman? And Lucia doesn't know anything?Yes, definitely. What other possibility could there be if not that?Bastian cursed inwardly and hissed. How dare that ignorant man cheat on his sister who had always desperately defended him. Did he think he could do everything because Lucia was too good? He probably felt great because he could get two women at once. What a piece of shit.Bastian started the car engine and drove off angrily. 'You'll see, once

"What exactly happened? Why did Bastian accuse you like that? To the point where he beat you up with Andrew?"Under the light of the hanging chandelier, Lucia finally asked. After dinner, she chose to keep all the questions swirling around in her head-waiting until her father went to bed.She didn't want him to interfere and make things even messier.The clock struck eleven and before they went to bed, Lucia wanted a full explanation of what was bothering her.Alex said it was a misunderstanding. So, Lucia wants to know the full story. There was no way Bastian would jump to accusations without seeing things, even though Lucia knew that her brother's perspective was always on the wrong path."You know, I only came there to see Bianca who didn't want to go home," Alex replied, sighing. The corner of his lip where Bastian had hit him still stung when he spoke.He looked at Lucia intently and continued, "But, Jasmine suddenly showed up there. I just found out that Bianca's babysitter also

Alex stepped into the hallway carefully. He walked slowly and noticed the towering concrete walls. At the top, there were many creepers that formed a canopy so that only a little moonlight managed to enter.The further Alex walked, the fainter the sounds of people fighting in this area became. Alex took out his rifle in his left hand, while his right hand tightly held his golden sword that emitted laser beams.Only the sound of Alex's steps could be heard, followed by the breeze rustling the leaves. Other than that, it was very quiet.Not far ahead, there was a building that he thought was the warehouse Bella was referring to. Was the top-level mutant still there?A sudden movement was heard from above. Alex aimed his rifle, shooting directly at the 'something' moving on the vines.It fell to the ground with a loud bedebum, which was none other than the mutant.Alex approached slowly. The mutant didn't move at all, though its head still hadn't been crushed. Was he already dead?When A

After parting ways with Gonzes, Alex has moved from place to place. However, he only encountered lower and mid-level mutants.He earned around 100 coins, with 30 or so mutants that he successfully exterminated. Some of the other system humans had returned due to injuries and only a few survived.Alex leaned against one of the walls with his breath catching. His body was aching badly, sweat was pouring off him, mixing with the blood on his hands.Because he swung the sword for too long without resting, his hand unconsciously kept getting scratched until it was injured. Alex only realized it when he rested.He rubbed his bloodied palms on his armor-the only 'emergency wipe' he thought was safe. Alex was afraid to wipe his blood anywhere, because the mutant virus might have spread everywhere.So, even though it was rough, he used his armor as a makeshift wipe.Fortunately after a while, the blood started to stop flowing. Alex would wait a few more minutes until his hands were dry enough

Alex felt like his body had just landed on a soft mattress. The sunlight was glaring in his eyes and he tried to move, but his hands were so hard to even lift.What was happening to him?Alex groaned as he opened his heavy eyelids. He hissed at the sting of the light that fell directly on his face. With difficulty, he shifted his body to get a better look around the room.This was his and Lucia's room.Alex blinked and tried to remember what happened earlier. Everything felt vague. Alex remembered that he was fighting a group of mutants who were trying to use his body as a host. He was surrounded and had no choice but to use his missiles. But when the missile exploded, it took its toll.Alex is dying and... he automatically returns to the real world.But why did his body still hurt? Shouldn't he be as fit as ever?Alex tried to get up and his hands were shaking as he tried to support his body. His body felt as if it had been badly beaten. When he managed to sit up, his breathing beca
