LOGIN"I'll count to three, then withdraw my ability. Once I do, we strike together," Steve said, glancing at Ray.Ray nodded. "Sounds good.""One… two… three! Go!"Steve immediately deactivated his ability and swung the fruit knife at the Jayzepanese.But he wasn't a combat-type. His physical enhancements were minimal and mostly incidental. The knife strike was fast and vicious—by ordinary human standards—but against an enhanced enemy, it was just a scratch.The Jayzepanese flinched at first, then quickly recovered. A cold smirk spread across his face as his body was suddenly sheathed in thick, gleaming scales.Beast-mode!Once activated, his physical stats skyrocketed, rivaling even combat-types. Sharp teeth, claws, armored scales—he gained every advantage, making him stronger and more versatile than ordinary combat-types.The Jayzepanese casually blocked the knife, his eyes full of contempt."You dare attack me without combat training? Foolish!"The fruit knife hit the armored a
"You're a native?" the young man asked, still needing confirmation."Absolutely," Ray said with a smile. "If you dare call me a Jayzepanese, I'll beat you to death!"The young man's expression brightened. "You can see through my illusion! Then you must be an ability user too! Amazing! Let's get these five students out safely. We can't let them fall into the enemy's hands!"Before Ray could respond, another Jayzepanese appeared nearby.Reacting instantly, the young man activated his ability, enveloping Ray as well. Now, even without spatial perception, Ray could see the young man and his five students clearly.The five students tensed again, and the young man's expression turned serious, gripping a fruit knife, ready to fight at any moment.Ray, however, remained calm. "You have this power. You can escort them out safely. So why hide?"The young man gave a wry smile. "It's not that simple. First, using this ability consumes a lot of energy, and I can only maintain it for ten minu
Soon, the three fighters from Jayzepan regrouped."Where the hell are they?""Dammit!""That Gohaven guy's ability is seriously annoying!""They've gotta be somewhere in the school.""Keep looking. We need to find them. No way they can go days without food or water.""Exactly! One of the girls is personally requested by Angelus!"After a string of Jayzepanese curses, the three split up and continued their search.Ray nodded to himself. So the young man’s power created illusions—or maybe just messed with people’s vision. Not lethal, but incredibly effective.But... what if I observed him through cameras or something indirect? Would it still work?He smiled and moved forward with confidence.Calmly, he walked into the school, heading straight for the young man and his five students.Even if the guy’s ability really did create illusions, it could only fool the eyes. Ray relied on spatial perception—something no illusion could touch.By chance, or maybe fate, none of the three
Ray once again announced his decision to head to Guillory City.He had already made the announcement once before. Today was supposed to be the day of departure, only delayed by Lucy's phone call, so the women no longer carried the panic and unease they had felt when they first heard the news yesterday.Ray was their anchor. As long as he was around, everything felt stable—even when he was away for a few days, knowing he was in Senna City reassured them. But now, he was going to another city.A heavy sense of loss settled in their hearts.The night passed.Molly and the other women were still asleep, but Lucy and Lindsay—these two best friends—were the first down the stairs. Surprisingly, they no longer argued; it seemed they had come to an unspoken truce.Huh… could they have formed some sort of alliance to handle the other women together?Heh. Ray simply smiled, making no effort to stop them. The more competition, the better."Breakfast is ready," he said.Soon, Molly and the
Lindsay was a study in contrasts.Tall, long-legged, yet soft-spoken and cute, her words sometimes sharp as a knife, yet she radiated warmth and exuberance.Ray could only shake his head. "You're about to get married—think you can just stay home?""Hehe, of course not," Lindsay replied. "I come from a wealthy family. Money? Power? We've got both. But I'm the elder sister, with a younger brother below me. The family fortune will go to him, and I… I'm meant to marry strategically, to strengthen our standing in the business world."This shelter? My family secured it just to appease me—and spent tens of millions building it."They want me married, and sure, the guy's not bad-looking. After all, same-class aristocratic offspring—genes speak for themselves."But this whole arranged-marriage thing is so annoying!"I decided long ago: after marriage, we each do our own thing. He can have his mistresses, I'll have mine. Publicly, we'll show a little affection; privately… hehe."But who
Lucy was stunning—gorgeous, alluring, absolutely captivating. Delicious, in every sense of the word.But… Ray bared his teeth slightly. His side effects hadn't fully worn off yet.And Lucy? She had already drifted into a deep sleep.What now?Click.Just then, the bedroom door creaked open.It was Lindsay.She wore a triumphant expression. "This is my place. Did you think I wouldn't have a spare key?"Of course, she was usually forgetful and had spent half an eternity just searching for it.Then, her eyes landed on the two on the bed. Her face flushed a fiery red."Sorry! Sorry!" she stammered, turning to flee.But after two steps, she froze—and then turned back.Biting her lip, Lindsay said, "Couldn't you take me with you… and Lucy?"Huh?Ray didn't rush. The side effects had mostly subsided. He smiled faintly. "Why should I?"Lindsay stomped her foot. "The food stock here will only last me a month or so. After that… I'd just be waiting to die! With you, at least I'll s
On the night of May 31st, Ray tossed and turned, unable to sleep. Curled up beside him was a mutt.He'd found the stray near his warehouse.At first, the dog would sneak bites of his food. In the end, Ray simply started feeding it. Little by little, the dog let down its guard. By the third day bef
After their little session ended, Ray gave Amanda an emergency contraceptive pill.He had no intention of bringing a child into a world this hopeless.And even if he ever did, it certainly wouldn't be with Amanda.Amanda said nothing. She simply swallowed the pill.Before she left, Ray handed he
At 33,000 feet, there was no hail and no fog. But how were the planes supposed to land?Some aircraft took the risk and descended. The result was predictable—immediate catastrophe. Others stayed airborne until their fuel ran out, forced into a desperate landing attempt or a powerless plunge from th
Lauren was trembling with rage.To get her plastic surgery and breast augmentation, she had put all her savings into it. It still wasn't enough, so she took out loans and ended up owing the bank close to ten thousand dollars.What was it all for?To get back together with Ray and share in that ma
