View MoreAs I slurped on my noodles at the town's renowned noodle shop, I found myself immersed in the savory flavors, oblivious to the world around me. However, that moment of bliss was abruptly interrupted by a peculiar sound, a faint "ping." I glanced around, but everything appeared normal. Shrugging it off, I resumed my culinary indulgence.
Exiting the shop, I returned home to the comforting aroma of my mother's cooking. Sophia, with her graceful demeanor, was busy preparing fried chicken as I entered the kitchen. Regretting my earlier noodle escapade, I couldn't help but think that I'd prefer her cooking over any other. "There you are; here, have some chicken," she offered warmly.
I declined, much to her surprise. Her disappointment was palpable, prompting me to quickly apologize and offer a hug. "Sorry, Mom," I said earnestly.
"It's okay, not your fault. I should have told you earlier," she replied, her mood lifting as I kissed her cheek before darting upstairs.
"That little... when will he grow up?" she chuckled, resuming her cooking.
Once alone, I changed into my pajamas and settled in front of my computer, ready to join my friends in a gaming session. However, before I could even launch a game, the mysterious "ping" echoed once more, followed by an unfamiliar mechanical voice. I froze in terror, my heart racing.
"Host has 100% compatibility with the System. Requesting the Host's approval to bind the System with the Host's body," the voice declared.
I stumbled backward, landing unceremoniously on the floor. Panic coursed through me as I struggled to comprehend the situation. Who—or what—was speaking to me? Was I losing my mind?
I shivered at the voice's reappearance. "What the... why am I hearing things? Did the A.I. rebel and start attacking cities? Is the apocalypse starting? What is happening to me?"
"Host, do not be afraid."
Terrified, I remained frozen. "What are you?"
"Congratulations, Host. The Supernatural Divine Godly Power System, or The Primordial System, has selected you to be your guide to becoming the strongest in the Universe and participating in the Multiverse."
My jaw dropped. "The Supernatural Divine Godly Power System? The strongest in the universe? The Multiverse what?"
The information overloaded my senses. I sat down, attempting to process the revelation. "The system, the strongest in the universe – is this some kind of joke?"
"No, it is not."
"What... you can hear my thoughts?"
"Yes, the Host's mind is connected to the system, so the system can hear every thought the Host produces."
"Damn, what a drag."
"Host's approval is required for the system to bind with the Host's body."
"Binding the system? What's the use of that?"
"Binding the system will give the Host complete control over his body and enable the training and cultivation of different powers and techniques."
"Cultivation techniques? Are there Grandmasters and deities in this world?"
"Yes, that is correct."
My mind raced with disbelief; the world held secrets I had never fathomed. The revelation of a supernatural system and the promise of becoming the strongest in the universe opened up a realm of possibilities I couldn't have imagined.
As I found myself seated in the black Mercedes Benz, I snapped out of the spell cast by this handsome stranger. The fear of being kidnapped seeped into my bones. I didn't want to be in this situation, but I definitely didn't want to be abducted."Start talking," I said to the stranger, who looked at me with amusement. "Don't think you can get away with kidnapping me or-""Get away with what? From what I know, no one would come looking for you," he said mockingly before his expression shifted to seriousness. "I'm sorry if I scared you, but I knew this was the only way I could get you to listen to me.""Listen to you? I don't even know you," I cried out in frustration, throwing my hands in the air."You don't need to know me to hear what I'm about to say-""Then why don't you just get on with it?!" I finally snapped at him, studying his charming eyes for any hint of a response. Instead, he smiled and apologized once more."I'm so sorry, Amanda. I-""Hold up," I interrupted, turning to h
Amanda Pov.I didn't peg myself as one who could get angry over the most trivial thing. That is if my ex husband cheating on my step sister was the most common thing that could happen.Currently watching Mirabelle walk down the aisle in my wedding dress, with my father was a big blow to my chest. Marcus stood there in all his foolish glory, grinning as he welcomed his bride.I gripped my hands, feeling about to explode.I knew I took a big risk attending this wedding. The media has given me enough reason not to attend the godforsaken gathering.I put on the most casual item in my closet I could find. Drawing attention wasn't my primary goal. What was? I can't say.Tongues would wag the moment someone recognizes me. They pegged me as an infertile woman and a cheater. I was a joke to many and seeing me here would only make them taunt me more.It was appalling and saddening that no one saw anything wrong with this union. It was upsetting that no one questioned Marcus for jumping into a m
Lucas Pov.My workers filed out of the conference room, and I slumped back in my chair, the tension draining from my shoulders. My annual reports were stellar, and I was still the top dog in the digital tech industry in Italy. But despite my accomplishments, there was always that nagging voice in the back of my mind. "Don't let it fall," I silently urged myself. I had worked too hard to build my company from the ground up to see it crumble now. Discipline was my best friend, the one constant in my life that had kept me going when my dad had scoffed at my dreams.My dad had never believed in me, always telling me I'd never amount to anything, that I was a disappointment. But I had proven him wrong. Every grueling hour of work, every sleepless night spent poring over numbers and strategies, had led me here. And I wouldn't let anyone or anything bring me down. Henry Denver a powerful billionare tycoon, and also my father had it all out for money and power. He craved for those two thing
