Gerald Burn let out a sigh, trying to get a feel for the atmosphere at his new school. The handsome guy with glasses stood right in front of the gates, hands shoved in his pockets. He had a solid build, not exactly typical for a high school student. Even though his expression was cool, it was part of what made him so captivating.[System Mission Detected.] [First Task: Help Lucy solve her problem. Reward: $1,000,000 and 1 Afterlife Ticket. Time Limit: One week. Failure to complete the task will be punished.]A military green hologram suddenly popped up right in front of him. Even though it was hard to wrap his head around, he really had gotten a system after passing through death's gate.In his past life, he was a highly respected thirty-year-old mercenary. His boss gave him a mission to rescue hostages from a terrorist group. Known as the "Devil from Hell" and the number one in the special forces, he could take down dozens of opponents silently in just a few minutes. The hostages wer

In class 3-A, three guys were seen bullying Hendrick. They were throwing crumpled paper balls from beside the teacher's desk, targeting Hendrick who was sitting in the back row. Whoever managed to hit Hendrick's head more times before the teacher came would be the winner and get a treat from the losers.As they swung their arms, they showed happy expressions. To them, it was a joke. Unfortunately for Hendrick, who often received such treatment, it was annoying. What could he do? Hendrick was too afraid to fight back. Every time he looked directly into the bullies eyes, his courage crumbled. Moreover, his family background was ordinary. No backing, no one cared."Too bad, losers! I've gotten more than ten headshots already. Get ready cause I'm gonna drain your wallets today," Davin said. The guy whose hair puffed up like cotton candy smiled widely. He was one of the guys who had shown displeasure when Gerald introduced himself yesterday. He was also the one who blocked Gerald's path wi

Mr. Joshep was the guidance counselor and also the homeroom teacher of Axel and the gang, class 3-D. He had a good relationship with Axel's parents and often received money to cover up Axel and Emma's misbehavior at school. With the video, he could easily shift the blame onto Gerald, making it impossible for Gerald to defend himself.[Congratulations, you have completed 20% of the mission.] [A reward of $200,000 will be sent to your account. Special ability: Online Game King. Special request: claim.]As Gerald walked towards the teachers' room, the same holographic screen suddenly reappeared, showing the progress of his mission completion. The $200,000 reward had been deposited into his account, while the additional reward there confused him."Online Game King?" he muttered. He suddenly remembered that he had heard that word from Devin. "What is an online game?"[An online game is a recreational activity done for fun online. In this day and age, online games have grown rapidly and hav

The sound of beat music spread throughout the bar room, accompanied by the clinking of alcohol bottles. In the VIP room, Axel and his gang members sat facing each other on a long sofa. Plumes of cigarette smoke spread to the corners of the room, bottles of soda filled the glass table. There, a man named Diego, a third-year student who was the leader of a gang from another school, was also seen."So you asked me here just to discuss something as embarrassing as this? You're pathetic," Diego said, sniffing dismissively. His arms were crossed over his chest."But that bastard is really weird. His abilities are absurd. His speed is also not like an amateur fighter," Celv explained.Ben added, "Moreover, he didn't hesitate to stare at Mr. Joshep with a sharp look. Do you think that's normal?"Hearing that explanation, Diego narrowed his eyes slightly, curious about Gerald's figure."Huh, is he strong or are you guys weak?" Ken, one of Diego's gang members, interjected. He then turned to Di

"Does it sound like I'm kidding?!""What's wrong with you, Axel? Just because of that nerdy new student? Since when did you become such a coward?""Emma, are you fucking deaf?""No, Axel. I won't let that little rat get away with it!""Emma?!" Axel's loud voice echoed on all sides of the room, causing his friends there to turn their attention to him. "This is my last warning. If I find out you're bothering Lucy again, don't blame me if I punish you.""But—"Before she could finish speaking, the phone connection was suddenly cut off. Emma gritted her teeth and shouted, "Damn it! What's with that guy? Why is he suddenly acting like this?"Helen, who was next to her, then spoke, "Don't you think that Gerald has gone and maybe beat them up again?""Impossible. Why do you guys seem to think that idiotic new student is special? Yesterday was just our bad day. If Axel gathers all his friends, even from other school gangs, Gerald will no longer be a threat."Helen was silent for a moment, try
