Damian only gave Marcus a simple smile.For a moment, he did not know how to answer the man's question.Would he be able to heal Marcus's mother?The thought immediately brought Damian's mind back to the strange power that had just appeared before him. .The blue light that had surrounded Natalie, the incredible energy that had flowed through her body, and the way her injuries had disappeared as though they had never existed.It had been nothing short of a miracle but Damian also knew that he could not simply perform another miracle whenever he wanted.The healing ability points he possessed were still far too limited. Whatever power the system had given him, it came with restrictions, and the system had already demonstrated that it was completely unwilling to negotiate. Damian had tried to understand its rules, but there was no room for bargaining. If the system said he did not have enough ability points, then no amount of pleading would change the result.And Marcus's mother had bee

Damian took a sip of his coffee with a troubled expression. He had barely slept all night because his mind had been consumed by the same question over and over again.How could he reactivate the system?Ever since the system had suddenly disappeared, Damian had tried various ways to make it appear again. However, none of them had worked. This morning, he had even opened a search app on his phone again, hoping to find something related to the strange system that had become a part of his life.Unfortunately, the search results were completely useless.There was no explanation about the mysterious system that only he could see. There were no forums discussing anything similar. Even after trying various keywords, Damian still could not find anything that made sense.He let out a long sigh as he stared blankly at the screen of his phone."Impossible..." Damian muttered.Across from him, Angelic remained silent. Deep down, she had no idea what Damian was muttering about.Since early that mo

Natalie looked up. "Your task is to break into Celine's computer system. The one she's using now. Let's make those people pay." Natalie's fingers paused above the keyboard. "But I need time to build a new system, Big Brother." "It's fine. You have plenty of time." Damian gave her a reassuring look. "Your job is to recover completely first. I'll take care of everything else." He stood up and glanced toward Marcus. "I need to deal with something first." Damian then left with Marcus. As they walked toward the car, Damian suddenly asked, "Are we too late?" Marcus checked the time before shaking his head. "We're about half an hour late, but the reporters are already there." Damian's eyes narrowed. "

The hospital corridor was unusually quiet when Damian and Marcus arrived. Marcus led the way toward the intensive care unit, walking so quickly that Damian had to lengthen his stride to keep up. Unlike his usual calm and composed manner, Marcus looked as though he was afraid that slowing down even for a moment might cost him something precious. When they reached the room, Marcus stopped outside the glass door."My mother is in there." Damian looked through the glass. An elderly woman lay motionless on the hospital bed, connected to several machines. Her face looked painfully thin, and the skin around her cheeks had lost much of its color.Tubes ran beneath her nose and along her arms while the monitor beside the bed continued to display the steady rhythm of her heartbeat. Damian's expression changed.Even without using the System, he could tell that she was s

Marcus's voice became calmer. "You told me her body was too weak and that even aggressive treatment could be dangerous." "That doesn't mean—" "So let him try!" The doctor shook his head. "You're gambling with your mother's life." Marcus looked through the glass again. "I'm not gambling." His eyes remained fixed on Damian. "I'm trusting the person who gave me hope when I had none." The doctor couldn't respond. Inside the room, Damian suddenly felt a sharp wave of exhaustion. His knees almost buckled. He caught himself against the side of the bed without removing his hand. "Damn..." The System immediately responded. <Host's energy level is decrea
