2023-09-15 23:06:39He was about to activate his system when Byron walked up to them. He had a smile on his face that didn't reach his eyes.
"Hey Raz, what's going on here?" He asked, placing his hand on the bulging arm of the man who was threatening James."This pest is bothering us," Raz replied,"It's a lie! I'm not bothering them, I just want to have a handshake with you." James said, perfectly faking the act of a fanboy who just wants a handshake with his idol."Is that so?" Byron asked while smiling suspiciously at him,"Yes.""Raz? You should've just allowed him to come." Byron said to Raz,Raz hung his head in shame. "I'm sorry boss, I just wanted to protect you in case he wanted to hurt you.""Haha." Byron laughed half-heartedly, "I appreciate the effort but a young man who looks as weak as this can't even touch a hair on my head."James raised his eyebrows in shock. 'Insulting me openly?... Well, that was expected, I look like crap but all that will end soon. Just let me acquire your power.'Turning to James, Byron said with the same smug and annoying smile that had been on his face since he came down from the stage. "Sorry brother, my men here are a bit overprotective of me. I apologize on their behalf .""Hehe," James smiled with his eyes closed, "no problem.""You wanted a handshake right?" Byron said and offered a hand to James."Yes." James' eyes lit up in excitement. His key to improvement was now in front of him, on a platter of gold.[Skill: Skill Acquisition Technique ]James shook Byron's hand and smiled inwardly as the seconds counted down, he didn't notice the sardonic smile that had now appeared on Byron's face."3...2...1.."[Ding!][Skill Acquisition Complete!][Due to the user's premium system, all restrictions on the skill are lifted and user has complete access to all sub-skills.]'Way to go!' James thought and tried to withdraw his hand but Byron refused to let go."Did you seriously think I wouldn't notice?" Byron asked James who now had a confused expression on his face,'Did he notice?' James thought,"N...Notice what?" James stuttered,"Don't...Play...." Byron shifted his feet on the ground and pulled James towards himself. James was physically weak so he couldn't resist the pull as Byron turned and flung him across the room sending him crashing into a wall. "With meee!!!"There were cracks in the walls and dust from the impact prevented people from seeing James's broken figure.[Ding!]HP: 20/100 (-80)[User's HP has dropped below the safety threshold (30), one new skill has been unlocked.]Recovery

16 Betrayal
James was running so fast that everything in his sight just blurred past and all he could think about was the different ways he would take his revenge on everyone who tossed him aside.'Just you wait Ryan, you'll pay for all that you've done to me. It's too bad Dad and your mom are no longer alive to receive their payback"He was still running when he saw the airport in the distance. He slowed down and his hands instinctively reached for the pouch of money in his pocket. He wouldn't forget to repay their kindness in the near future."What?" He exclaimed as his Omniscience began to warn him of incoming danger."But there's no one around here for miles unless..." He trailed off as he remembered the face of the strange man that kept staring at him the last night."No!" He gasped as he turned back to head to the village.***"Rodney! Rodney! Wake up! Some soldiers are here" Rodney's junior brother, Finn yelled as he approached Rodney who was ploughing the fields some distance away from th
15 Farewell
"He's just a man who saved our lives..." Rodney shrugged, "he's not from around here so he's looking for a way to go back. I offered to accommodate him for the night as gratitude for saving our lives."Octavius scowled at Rodney and turned to James with a look of displeasure on his face.Rodney noticed this look of displeasure on Octavius' face and asked him, "What's the matter?"Octavius turned back to Rodney without taking the scowl away from his face and replied, "I don't like him. He smells like trouble. You should send him away tonight."Rodney was slightly annoyed by this statement so he grabbed Octavius by his sleeve and pulled him closer, "I don't care whether you like him or not, he saved our lives during hunting and that's all that matters. If the best we can do for him at this moment is to offer him temporary accommodation then we'll do that. If you're not comfortable with that then you can go and hide your head under a rock."Octavius shrugged Rodney's hand off his sleeve
14 Wholesome Happiness
"Yeah," James affirmed, "all the way from Graylon City. Do you know how I can get back there?""Graylon City?" Rodney retorted.James instantly knew from Rodney's reaction that he was a long way from home."That's in another entirely different continent!""Shit!" James exclaimed and kicked the snow that was on the floor. "Shit!" He exclaimed as he walked to the side to stare into the nothingness of the snowy forest.He stayed there staring for a long time Rodney was tempted to ask him what he was thinking about but he thought twice about it and decided to keep quiet and watch what James would do next.After what seemed like forever, James finally spoke up, "Is there any way to leave this place and go back to my city? Like an airport or train station, or anything like that?" "Hm...." Rodney put his hand on his chin briefly as if he was thinking, "There's an airport around here.""Great!" James' face brightened up, "where–""But–" James' face froze at that word and he suddenly became
13 Far From Home
The bear growled at James and continued circling him. It seemed it was hesitating to attack him because he was stronger than the rest, it was looking for a suitable opening to launch its attack."I see..." James nodded slowly. "You can't reply to me... Well, no matter what your reply is, I won't accept it, that's because nothing can justify what you did here."With that last statement, James jumped toward the bear and the bear used that opportunity to jump towards him too.James was naturally faster than the bear, so it had already lost before the fight even began. James sailed through the air like a rocket and punched the bear under its jaw.The punch was so hard that the sound of cracking bone filled the air and no one needed to be told that James had cracked the skull of a monster bear with just his fists. The impact of James' punch did not end at the skull, it also delivered intense trauma to the bear's brain as the force from the punch threw it into the sky.The hunters couldn't
12 James' Intervention
Rodney was the only one not retreating, he wanted to make sure that he got as many men as possible out of the range of the bear.He saw one of his men who was trying to run away and had gotten his leg entangled in a dried tree branch lying on the floor. He quickly ran to his side and was trying to free his leg from the branch when he heard his men calling out to him;"Commander!""Look out!""Huh?" Rodney retorted and looked up only to find himself face to face with the most terrifying sight of his life.While he was busy trying to rescue his subordinate, he lost focus of the bear for a brief moment, and that brief moment was enough for the bear to leap through the air for an attack.He looked up just in time to see the bear sailing through the air to descend on him."Shit..." He muttered, "I messed up..."****Jason walked silently through the dried-up forest that was completely covered in ice. It amused him how a snow-covered forest looked peaceful and serene compared to a forest in

[Reward has been granted. 20 points and a D class reward box has been granted to the user.]James had stopped under a dried-up tree in the blistering cold to check his stats. The cold didn't even seem to bother him because he was just smiling sheepishly as he looked at his system.If a random person had come around and met him there, the person would think he had gone crazy because it would look like he was just smiling at himself while staring into thin air.James read through the entire rewards of the quest and was about to begin to debate with himself whether they were worth it when his eyes went to the level-up bar."Level up times what??!"
