"Oh, yes, he does," Johnny said after coming to a decision.The reporter's eyes glinted with greed and interest as she said, "Really?""He's a good man. He was worried about all the people still living here after the monster attack and came to check on us. It's nice to know that a blessed cares enough to personally check on us of his own accord," Johnny said, acting like he was a starstruck fan."I see," the reporter said, as if she couldn't decide if this information was good enough for her article."I'm sure you heard that he apprehended a deranged couple," he said.This definitely caught her interest, as she said, "Tell me more."Johnny paused to unlock his door and said, "I'm sure you're quite busy, but everyone here knows about it. In fact, I was pretty sure it was in the news.""It was," the reporter reluctantly said.He had to admit that she was quite persistent. Johnny had tried to pull the crazy fan card to discourage her from continuing. Unfortunately, that didn't work. That
Rise of the Commoner: Johnny Burns's The Lost Heir Chapter 73: Dealing with the Burns Family (2)
Johnny had never seen so many zeros before, not even in the test world, which was saying something since his fake parents basically gave him everything. They had made sure he was never in want of anything. This much money would probably last him a lifetime several times over, even if he splurged like crazy. He wasn't even sure if he could waste all this money.The fact that the Burns family was willing to throw this much cash at him was fishy and made him suspicious about accepting the offer. Why were they so against him being a blessed? There had to be a reason behind it if they were willing to throw this much cash at him. It certainly wasn't anything to scoff at, even if he was certain that it wouldn't mean much to them."My employer would like an answer right away," the scarred man said.They weren't even giving him a chance to think about it. They clearly expected him to accept the offer without any hesitation. Honestly, he was very tempted. Anyone would be at the sight of money.
Rise of the Commoner: Johnny Burns's The Lost Heir Chapter 74: Faking His Death (1)
Johnny didn't bother checking his bank account or visiting his bank to find out if the money had come in. Instead, he was driving as fast as he could back to the apartment. He silently mourned losing out on the place. It hadn't been long since he moved in there, but he was going to have to move out already. He tried to call Frank again.However, there was no answer. Johnny wondered if it was because he knew about Johnny's situation ahead of time and cut ties with him. It wouldn't surprise Johnny if he did, but it did hurt to think that someone that he could finally count on turned his back on him. Well, he couldn't blame him. Johnny would have probably reacted the same way. Helping him was the same as jumping onto a sinking boat.He reached the apartment complex in record time as he considered what he could bring with him. There was no way he could bring his car. If he took it, they would instantly know he had left. They could also track him down using his car's description. He would
Rise of the Commoner: Johnny Burns's The Lost Heir Chapter 1: The Day His Life Changed
Firing off a text, Johnny waited for the customer to come out and retrieve their items. He leaned back in his seat and took a moment to catch his breath. If things went well, he might get a tip to bolster his paltry income. Unfortunately, that was a small hope, as the company he worked for loved to take the employees' tips. Of course, they didn't say they were taking the tips. It would be illegal.However, the company had a policy where employees were guaranteed a certain amount per delivery, and if a customer paid below that number, then they would still only get what the company paid them. If it was more than that, the company would find some way to get their hands on the money. Basically, the company was trash and trying to cut corners.Johnny tapped impatiently on the wheel as the customer still hadn't arrived to take their package. They better come soon. He needed the money desperately, especially after his girlfriend dumped him. His head hit the wheel, and there was a loud horn
Rise of the Commoner: Johnny Burns's The Lost Heir Chapter 2: Got the Power
[The process is complete.][The user's body has returned to its optimal state.][The user may now use healing and fire.]Those words were the first thing to greet Johnny when he regained consciousness. As if to confirm the vadility of those words, he raised a hand and flexed it. There was no pain or difficulty in movement whatsoever. The system had truly healed his body from the brink of death without so much as a scar. The divine power system was really amazing."This is awesome," he whispered as he sat up.Johnny felt like a kid on a sugar rush. However, his childlike wonder was interrupted when a familiar face stomped towards him. It was the man from before who had nearly killed him with a single punch. He hadn't realized so little time had passed since he got the system. The thought of what happened earlier ignited his blood, and he abruptly stood up."How are you still alive?" the giant demanded as he pointed a meaty finger at Johnny. "Well, whatever. I'll make sure you stay dead
Rise of the Commoner: Johnny Burns's The Lost Heir Chapter 3: Impromptu Lesson
Johnny did the only sensible thing he could in this situation. He ran for cover as they threw wind and ice at each other. He wasn't crazy enough to take on two women who had many more years of experience with their powers than he did. His fight with the giant had been luck on his part. He wasn't arrogant enough to think otherwise.As he hid around the corner of one of the buildings, he wondered if he could get away with just running away from the area. Despite all of the chaos around him, there were no people running or screaming. He wasn't sure why, but something was telling him that trying to run wouldn't end well for him. The only thing he could do for now was watch the two women fight.Rachel blocked another wave of icicles before flying into the air. From above, she launched a whirlwind of wind at Dorothy. The woman cursed as she raised her arms up to defend against the raging winds. Her long blue hair whipped around as her blue eyes narrowed. Suddenly, she threw her arms out, an
Rise of the Commoner: Johnny Burns's The Lost Heir Chapter 4: Next Step is Fighting
Fortunately, luck was apparently on Johnny's side today. At the last second, he was able to dodge the attack and watch as it cut a car in two. He swallowed, thinking that it could have been him. Turning his attention back to the women, he saw that he hadn't even been the intended target. If he was, he didn't think they would be focused on each other instead of him.[Don't worry. With your healing power, you should be able to recover from any attacks.]Johnny had forgotten about the healing power he had. "Would I really be able to survive being cut in half?"[As long as the injury isn't fatal.]Seeing the amended statement, he supposed the healing power had to have some drawbacks or else it would be too powerful. If he could heal from anything, he would basically be immortal. At first, he thought that would be a great power to have, but seeing the women fight, he took back his words. Immortality actually wasn't a great power, and he was glad that he didn't have it.[The user should foc
Rise of the Commoner: Johnny Burns's The Lost Heir Chapter 5: Rematch
The giant threw a punch at Johnny, who unleashed a torrent of flames similar to what he had done before. However, the distance between them was too short. His flames barely did any damage before he was struck across the face and sent flying. As he crashed into a building, Johnny had a sense of deja vu. This felt very similar to what happened before he gained his power.As Johnny struggled to sit up, he coughed up blood. He was only barely keeping himself from screaming in pain. It might have been because his face felt swollen, but it was close. However, he could feel his healing power working its magic. The problem was that it was happening way too slowly. The giant was charging towards him like a bull, and he couldn't get out of the way in time.This time Johnny really did scream in agony as he felt his bones, which hadn't been broken before, break from the force. He was close to blacking out as the giant grabbed his head and lifted him up into the air like a ragdoll. Unable to think
