(HOST YOUR OUTSTANDING DEBT IS 100 MILLION! THEREFORE YOUR HEALTH WILL BE SUBSIDIZED UNTIL THE DEBT IS CLEARED.)

Before Rapheal could understand the meaning behind the warning that was issued a numb shock climbed up his right leg and up to his thigh. 

His muscles contracted painfully, and he suddenly lost all sense of feel in that area.

Shit! 

Raphael fall was dramatic. His face landed right on the bare ground. The taste of blood and dirt mixing in his mouth.

My left hand. My left hand is also paralyzed. His stomach dropped at the realization.

"What the fuck happen to you?" Finn thought he slipped and turned around. But Rapheal just laid there, unmoving.

The people chasing them was starting to close in. Their thundering footsteps hinting on the ungodly numbers.

"Hey...bro...this is not the time to admire the ground. We have got to go." His best friend tried to lift him up when he noticed a iron bat flying towards them.

Finn suddenly let go in order to dodge it, and Rapheal smacked on heavy on the ground once again.

"You son of a bitch...." That hurts....

"I am sorry, I am sorry." The first round of attack had already arrived. The thin Finn looked powerless, like he could easily be blown away by the wind and he was indeed not good at fighting. His main skills were focused on escaping.

The attackers welded thick wooden planks, iron rods and even chains.

For a moment he contemplated on leaving Rapheal behind. 

Fuck it. In the end we will just die together. At least that is less scary than dying alone. He clenched his hands into a tight fist. 

"Hey!!" A loud shout came from the entrance. 

Rapheal forced his head up from the embarrassed position on the ground, only able to catch a many sets of shoes walking in.

"What do you think you are doing to by buddies?" The person leading the group was half dressed. Despite the cold he wore a thin, multi colored jacket that was unpleasant to look at. Half unbuttoned with his chest on display. His lips were hooked up. Looking as unreliable as one can be.

Next to him was a slightly taller and bigger man in a simple black pants and hoodie.

Cody. Rapheal sighed in relief. They are here.

"Do you think this is a place that you can just walk in?" The dance face man barked. He had his share of gang fights and wasn't in the least afraid. "Don't even think of leaving here alive? Kill them all!"

This! Can this be worse? Rapheal was seriously contemplating.

System. Hey. Why don't you let me off for now. It isn't like I won't pay you back, the situation right now isn't the best. 

(REQUEST DECLINED—

HOST SHOULD PLEASE PAY OFF HIS DEBTS.)

Son of a bitch.....

(DING! HOST SHOULD PLEASE MIND HIS LANGUAGE. THE HOST WILL BE PENALIZED!)

For real? Other people get systems that make them rich overnight and this is what I get....?

What 'money system'? this is fraud. They should have just called it instead 'Debt system.'

"Rapheal. Are you okay?" A calm.voice came from overhead and a hand grabbed on his shoulder to pull him up.

"Careful, careful. I have a bad cramp." Raphael sucked in a breath. He adjusted his weight on his left leg. The paralyzed arm hanging limp by his side.

"Is it that bad? Does it hurt?" Cody frowned and let him lean on him for support.

The fight was still going on.

"What, can't talk anymore? Weren't you running your mouth just now? Dare to hit buddies, let's see if you can walk out of this alive." Vicent smirked smugly as he best up the scar faced man.

"Why is he so excited?" 

"I don't know. When I found him he was passed out from drinking." Cody shook his head while helping Raphael to the car outside. 

"Should I help you massage your leg?" He asked after settling him on the back seat.

"No. It's fine." Rapheal leaned against the leather seat and dug out his phone with his only working hand.

Without hesitating he transferred a 100 million from the savings account his fake family had opened for him to his normal account.

He had never the touched the money there before. Even before he knew he was the fake heir he just didn't have any need for. 

A monthly allowance was paid into it everymonth and there was also the money he inherited from his grandfather who died.

Well, too bad for him that he gave the money to the wrong grandson.

The Devereux family didn't want to spoil their sparkling clean reputation by seizing the money and kicking him out of the house so that wanted him to marry his fake you her sister, Riley.

With that they would be able to have control over him. Just like how it played in his past life.

But this time...they could dream on.

He wonder what would happen when they find out he took out such large amount of money.

(DING! THE SUM OF 100 MILLION HAS BEEN DEDUCTED FROM THE HOSTS CURRENT ACCOUNT. FOR BETTER SERVICE IN THE FUTURE THE HOST SHOULD CONSIDER GRANTING THE PERMIT TO THE DAVINGS ACCOUNT)

Yes. So you can steal all my money. Rapheal scowled unkindly.

(THE HOST IS BEING SMALL MINDED) the system responded in it's emotionless, robotic voice. (YOU HEALTH HAS BEEN RESTORED. HOST, PLEASE FAMILIARIZE YOURSELF WITH THE CONTROL PANEL)

Rapheal raised a brow when a blue transparent screen appeared in front of him. Floating at eyelevel.

It looked almost the same size as the tv at home.

He was surprised to see information about himself.

This system.....what exactly is it? His eyes narrowed thoughtfully as he read through it.

System, do you have something to do with my rebirth?

(APOLOGIES, HOST'S AUTHORITY IS NOT SUFFICIENT ENOUGH TO ACCESS SUCH INFORMATION. PLEASE CONSIDER RAISING YOUR LEVEL AND ALSO YOUR IDENTITY TO A BUSINESS TYCOON) The system said flatly.

Forget it. 

"Hey Rapheal! What were you doing? I almost didn't see you. Although I know you were happy to see me you didn't have to prostrate on the ground. You are anking me shy." Vicent swaggered towards him, while the boys cleaned up the fight scene. There was a bruise on his forehead, a souvenir of the violence he partook in.

"If you shut up no one will think you are mute." Rapheal shot him a glare. 

"But seriously how did you know that monkey was in trouble? I was lying down catching my breath when this biggie burst into my room."

"Right, Rapheal how did you know?" Finn asked too. He was going to buy a when he was suddenly attacked and pushed into a van.

"The heavens told me."

"Fuck off. Everyone in this world must be dead before God picked you to talk to." Vicent rolled his eyes.

Right. Rapheal was very suspicious about his rebirth. But it doesn't change the fact that he lost 100 million just after waking up.

It is this bastards fault. 

The bastard he was thinking about shivered and hid behind Vicent. Slowly speaking up. "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Like how?" Rapheal smiled kindly while calculating.

Since the bastard wasn't even worth half a million, he could only make him work the money back. Yes. He was going to squeeze all the value out of him until the money was repaid.

"Like you just lost a 100 million on his head and is planning on making him sign a slave contract." Vicent pointed out jokingly.

"Yes." Finn nodded along.

Rapheal was stunned by the close guess and his eyes shone even brighter. He said. "You are so self aware."

Just then he phone rang.

Looking at the caller a corner of his lips rose.

About time.

    One week later, after the Golden Arena Market."The doctor said the brain scans show stronger activities this week compared to last week. I say this is because of me." Finn waved his bandaged arm back and forth, trying to prove his point. "Research has proven that talking to a coma patient helps a lot and can even boost their recovery.""That doesn't mean you should talk nonstop all the time." Vicent scolded him; a scowl hung on his lips. "You are being a nuisance.""It is all good as long as he wakes up." "Finn said," his voice growing quieter towards the end.Rapheal watched Cody without speaking.Although his condition was now stable, he still hadn't woken up.Whether it'd take days, weeks, or months. The doctor was unable to give them a clear date.Only that the possibility of him waking up was high.Vicent and Finn exchanged a glance, and the former let out a small sigh as he picked up his coat and left quietly.When Rapheal walked out of Cody's hospital room, he ran into a famil

    Silas was first bandaged up before he was flown off the island to a hospital.His breaths were feeble and his face was as pale as a sheet from all the blood loss.He looked like he was about to ascend to heaven at any moment.Raphael's feelings towards him were complicated.Their relationship was complicated. Whether they were allies or enemies was unclear.To be honest, regardless of what it might be, Rapheal didn't like Silias one bit.But he also didn't want him to die.He watched as the stretcher containing Silias was hurriedly pushed into the OR.It was his second time watching someone being wheeled in for emergency reasons in less than two hours.Running a hand through his hair, he turned around and walked away.A pure stream of golden sunlight streamed in through the ground-to-ceiling windows, and the morning sun was visible in a cloud of whitish-blue skies.The past hours almost seemed unreal to him. Everything had happened too fast. He was still wearing the suit he wore to

    Rapheal wasted no time and directly asked her. "They didn't come out?""No. I have been tracking them, and they should still be inside the building." Lean and they exchanged a glance, and their expressions changed at the same time.The sound of the blades of a helicopter whipping the wind was particularly loud."They are actually going to land a helicopter on the half-collapsing building." Silias cursed. "We can't let them escape. Who knows what godforsaken thing they will try to do again?"They couldn't let them escape. Rapheal agreed.With Lean, the three of them raced back into the building.The cold morning breeze whooshed past Rapheal's ear, and bits of moisture in the air clung to his skin.His feet barely touched the ground with each step he raced forward.Silias suppressed the shock in his heart and hurried after him.The door of the roof has been put out under Rapheal's one kick.

    When Rapheal opened his eyes, he was met with the sight of a spotless white ceiling above him.His lids snapped shut at the intense light and a low groan ripped out of his mouth.Where was he?His brain struggled to link the fragment pieces of information that were floating in his mind.His head throbbed with a sharp pain.He seemed to have been hit with something hard.Rapheal struggled to sit up but immediately felt a tug back.He looked around and saw that his limbs were restrained by thick black belts.Raphael didn't know what the belt was made of, but it was able to restrain his strength."Uh...doctor, the patient is awake." He heard a female voice coming from his sides.He looked towards the direction and saw a mass of white.It was someone dressed in white overalls. The head was covered with a white hat with just a small space where the eyes could be seen.Then another face popped into his vision.Raphael felt an uncanny familiarity from it.Then it came to him.During one of t

    Rapheal glanced at the watch on his wrist.It was 4:09am.They had less than two hours to carry out everything before they lost the cover of the night."Boss, reporting on the facility's outer perimeter survey. Security is tight." A tough voice flowed out of the earpiece connected to his ears.It was the diversion team. "Everything is in place, and we are now awaiting orders."Raphael glanced at the guards dressed in nighttime black suits besides him. He nodded briefly and then advanced from his hiding spot. At the same time, he issued the awaiting command. "Begin."Ahead, the facility stood with countless short and stout buildings. The walls were washed and green. Like something that has been abandoned for a long time.An unregistered research facility that ran illegal research on people.Rapheal scanned the narrow corridor in front of him with cold eyes. There was no surveillance camera visible, but he couldn't be sure.'System.' He called out in his head.The mechanical voice fl

    Meanwhile, as Rapheal walked out of the hospital, the system was panicking in his mind.Host: What are you doing? Host, you aren't really planning on going, right? It yelled at him coldly. [I agree to what your friend said earlier. You are acting in the heat of the situation which will do you no good.]Rapheal ignored his words. He plugged the key into the ignition and watched the car roar to life. "You know where the research center is, right?"This is a death sentence, host. Did you forget how you died in your past life? There won't be any miracle this time.]Raphael's hand on the steering froze.The system thought it had managed to convince him and quickly added. [Why don't you think this through? Do you really plan on throwing your life away?Then it watched Rapheal fish his phone out of his pocket and dial a number.The line connected after one ring."Rapheal." A respectful call rang from the other side of the phone. The voice carried a hint of laziness. "How come you didn't stay
