In his cheap flat, Marvin had just gotten out of the bathroom and was now drying his hair with a small towel.
As he looked at his reflection in the mirror, he realized one thing: he now had a body like a martial arts athlete. Even his abdominal muscles were perfectly formed, making him look strong.
‘Is this me now? Is this another effect of whatever happened yesterday?’ he thought.
He struck a few poses, marveling at his own muscles. Physically, he was now an ideal man. Many women would easily be attracted to him if they saw him shirtless.
Marvin managed a smile, but it quickly vanished.
He picked up his phone. He reread the chat message from Jessie, Melanie’s sister, informing him that Melanie and Alex were officially engaged.
Jessie had ended her chat message with a mocking sentence, saying she could finally breathe a sigh of relief because her sister had finally paired up with a rich man worthy of her, not a shameless poor man like Marvin.
The chat message had arrived on Marvin’s phone about half an hour ago. That was why Marvin had decided to shower and wash his hair.
Now, Marvin sat on the edge of his bed, contemplating the reply he would write.
He now realized that Melanie didn’t deserve his love. However, the way Melanie had ended their relationship yesterday, as well as Alex’s involvement, made him reluctant to just let it go.
He harbored resentment towards them. Towards Alex, towards Melanie and her family. He promised himself that one day, no matter how, he would make them suffer. Suffer to the fullest!
Marvin put his phone down on the bed and stood up. He decided not to reply to Jessie’s chat message.
He removed the towel and started to get dressed. Suddenly, that robotic voice sounded again:
[Master’s wish has been noted. Initiating mission adjustment process.]
Marvin frowned, not knowing what that meant.
A moment later, as he sat on the edge of the bed, he heard the robotic voice again:
[Mission adjustment process complete.]
[Primary Objective: Destroy the Dunns and Banguards.]
[NEXT MISSION]
[Tomorrow night, Master must go to the night district in downtown Murndale to help a red-haired woman.]
[Reward: Trust and loyalty from the red-haired woman.]
[Bonus: To be announced after the mission is completed.]
Marvin frowned. What was this new mission about? He had to help someone he didn’t even know?
Marvin found this mission strange. But then he remembered his previous mission. He nodded.
‘There must be something behind this mission. Something I will know and understand later,’ he thought.
…
The next night, after work, Marvin took a taxi to the night district in downtown Murndale.
This district was very popular among the upper-middle class, offering various forms of entertainment to relieve stress and indulge desires.
Marvin had never been there before, so he was a little nervous and confused. He walked along the sidewalk, glancing left and right, looking for the red-haired woman who needed help.
Too busy looking left and right, Marvin didn’t see two men ahead of him walking in opposite directions while drunk.
Bump!
He collided with one of them, sending the man sprawling.
“Watch your step, you motherfucker!!” yelled another man, glaring at Marvin as he helped his friend stand up.
Marvin stopped and looked at the two of them. In moments like this, he would usually choose to pretend to be deaf to avoid conflict. Now, for some reason, he felt that was no longer an option for him.
“I should be the one saying that to you. You’re drunk, stumbling around. Lucky only one of you fell,” Marvin said.
Of course, this angered the man who was glaring at him.
“Bastard! Are you looking for death! Take this!”
The man, who was not as drunk as his friend, attacked Marvin blindly, throwing punches and blows.
Marvin blocked them all with ease. Then, with one move, he brought the man down and stepped on his chest.
“If this were a fight to the death, you’d be dead right now,” Marvin said coldly.
The man gasped. Beads of sweat appeared on his face. “S-sorry, bro. S-sorry.”
Marvin lifted his foot and pulled his right leg back. He looked at the other man. The man looked at him with fear, as if Marvin were a monster in his eyes.
“Don’t let me see you again,” Marvin said, then turned and left.
The men looked at each other. A moment later, they sighed in relief, like people who had just escaped death.
Marvin continued walking down the sidewalk, looking left and right.
The situation was similar to the Chinatown area yesterday afternoon. He idly wondered if he had to set a five-minute time limit before the red-haired woman would appear before him.
Ironically, just after thinking that, he saw a red-haired woman in front of a nightclub, standing and holding posters, offering them to passing men.
The woman wore a tight dress that showed off her curves. Her makeup was a bit heavy. She was beautiful.
One thing that made Marvin squint his eyes: the woman’s long legs were trembling.
When a man in a black suit came out of the nightclub and started scolding the woman, Marvin could guess the red-haired woman’s situation.
She was likely an employee at the nightclub, perhaps a hostess, and so far that night she hadn’t gotten a single customer.
The man in the black suit scolded her mercilessly. The red-haired woman could only lower her head, terrified. Her long legs trembled even more.
‘Is this the woman I have to help? What if it’s not her?’ Marvin thought.
He slowed his pace, scanning his surroundings to check if there were any other red-haired women.
There were none. He directed his eyes forward again. The man in the black suit was now tapping the red-haired woman’s head.
“Hey, you don’t have to do that to her. Is that how you talk to a woman?”
The man in the black suit and the red-haired woman both looked towards Marvin. They both looked confused.
“Who are you? Is this woman your friend?” the man in the black suit asked.
Marvin shook his head. “No. I don’t even know who she is. But I can’t just stand by and watch you scold her like that in front of me.”
The man sneered. “It’s none of your business. I’m the manager of this club. It’s my job to scold useless hostesses like her. You should just leave. Mind your own business.”
“No, I’m not leaving. I’m here to help her.”
“Huh??”
Marvin stopped walking and turned his eyes to the red-haired woman. She looked at him, confused and suspicious.
“I know you’re cold,” Marvin said. “How about you come with me? We’ll get something warm to eat. My treat.”
Furrows appeared on the woman’s forehead. Her mouth opened, but she said nothing.
“Hey, are you an idiot or what? I told you, she’s a hostess here. Do you think you can just ask her to leave while she’s working?
“If you want to treat her to something warm, bring her inside, buy her food. That is, if you have enough money.
“From what I see… you don’t look like a rich man. Let me guess, you don’t have a credit card in your wallet, do you?”
The man’s guess was correct; Marvin didn’t have a credit card in his wallet. But that didn’t matter. He still had enough money to hire a hostess at the nightclub and order expensive food there, if he wanted to.
However, Marvin wouldn’t do that. He snatched the posters from the red-haired woman’s hands and threw them into the air.
“Stop working here. Come with me. I’ll treat you to a good meal,” Marvin said, smiling broadly.

Do I Look Like I'm Joking?
High in a penthouse at the city’s heart, Alex and Melanie moved together with fierce intensity upon the wide, broad bed.“Ohh… ohh… so deep…”Melanie rode above him, rising and falling, her hands kneading her own breasts. Alex growled low, his palms roaming over her hips and belly.This had not been planned. She had been waiting for him the moment he walked through the door—pulling him down, kissing him hungrily, before he could even speak. Moments later they were naked in bed, bodies joined, moving with desperate, burning need.It was fast, hard, and breathless. In less than half an hour they reached their peak together, as one. Melanie fell away to lie beside him, chest heaving.“Not like you to be so aggressive,” Alex said, glancing at her with a faint, knowing smirk. “Something troubling you?”Normally it was Alex who took charge—who was the more demanding, the more forceful, the wilder of the two.And his guess was right. Melanie was angry. Furious, in fact.“This afternoon… I we
Manage Your Expectations
The ordeal at the two‑storey house with the wide garage was finally over. Walter ordered his men to dispose of the bodies of Baron and Josh. Marvin turned his full attention to Emily and Lisa.“So you are Emily’s cousin? And you came here to escape your stepfather?” Marvin asked.“That’s right. More or less,” Lisa replied.Her gaze still carried a trace of suspicion. But after all Marvin had done for her, her manner was no longer cold.Marvin glanced at Emily. “You intend to take her to your flat? She’ll live with you there… until she finds somewhere to stay?”Emily looked at Lisa. “We haven’t discussed it yet. We barely had time to speak before that tall, big man appeared. So for now… yes. I’ll take her home with me.”Marvin nodded and looked back at Lisa. She was so young, and so timid. In a busy city like Murndale, she was exactly the kind of woman predators preyed upon.“Then let me drive you there. Should we go now?”Emily and Lisa looked at each other and nodded, almost in uniso
Any Last Words?
It was none other than Walter. He strode down the steps into the basement. Though he carried no pistol or weapon of any kind, his presence alone bore down on the Black Skull members like a weight.Baron was less shaken, yet his eyes blazed with clear alarm. He turned to face his boss.“Baron, what the hell were you doing here? What did I order you to do?” Walter’s voice boomed, sharp and commanding. He fixed Baron with a glare that could have cut steel.Baron opened his mouth… then closed it again, swallowing hard. “You told me to bring these guys here… to help Marvin, Boss.”“Then what in heaven’s name do I see? Why are they pointing guns at him?!”“That is because…” Baron paused, searching for a plausible lie. But then he thought, why lie any longer? This could be the right moment to make Walter see the truth, that Marvin did not belong in the Black Skull.“Because…?” Walter’s voice cracked like a whip. He stood fully upon the basement floor now.Baron drew a breath. “So sorry, Bos
No Better Option
Marvin narrowed his eyes, standing and scanning every man there.These were unmistakably the members of the Black Skull. Yet by their stance and the look in their eyes, they answered entirely to Baron.“This is not surprising at all,” Marvin said calmly. “I expected this moment to come.”Baron smirked and stepped forward slowly. “We have unfinished business. Now seems like the perfect time to settle it.”Marvin replied nothing. He only offered a cold, knowing smile of his own.“Marvin… aren’t these… the same men who caused trouble at the Bowl of Heaven the other day?” Emily asked, her voice tight with alarm.Marvin glanced at her briefly. She was sitting close to Lisa—who looked bewildered, still struggling to understand what was happening.“Stay right where you are, both of you. Don’t worry. You’ll be safe,” Marvin told them, steady and unshaken.He turned his gaze back to Baron and his men. If this was to be the fight… then so be it. He would not hesitate to kill them—Baron above al
Too Soon To Feel Relieved
Half an hour had passed since Walter dropped away from the black SUV. He leaned back and lit his third cigarette, smoke curling into the air.‘Something is not right,’ he told himself.His mind had been fixed on Marvin ever since, wondering what state he was in. Had he won the fight? Had he found the woman he came for? However strong Marvin was, Walter’s worry would not fade. Marvin had gone in blind with rage. And he knew more than anyone, anger could be a fatal flaw.‘I hope this is just a foolish thought of mine,’ Walter thought.But the feeling clung to him, stubborn as ever. With every exhale of smoke, he pictured Marvin down there, alone. He only hoped Baron had moved fast, sending his men to help him.Meanwhile, Baron had just arrived at the two‑storey house with the wide garage.He stood in the yard with some twenty members of the Black Skull—all armed with pistols. Baron had drawn his own and racked the slide.His gaze settled on the black SUV parked before the closed garag
Rest In Hell
The bullets tore toward him, fast and true—at a range where no one should ever have stood unscathed.Marvin should have crumpled then, bleeding out. Instead he stood perfectly still. One hand rose before him, clenched as though catching something.Josh’s eyes bulged. He could not believe what he was seeing. Marvin stood untouched, unmoved. Where had every bullet gone?“Surprised?” Marvin sneered. “Confused?”He opened his palm, and a handful of bullets clattered to the floor.“What the hell…”Josh stared in utter disbelief. Marvin lowered his hand and kept walking forward.“You’d better brace yourself, because I will beat you within an inch of your life… before I finish you off,” Marvin said, his voice cold as ice.Having caught every round fired at him, he knew he already won this fight. The System had done far more than cloak him; it had sharpened his speed to something beyond human comprehension.“No way this is happening! This must be some kind of trick,” Josh muttered, blinking h
