Suddenly, Gary started looking at the doors, trying to see where they were. He looked at how fast the car was moving and whether or not he would survive jumping out of a moving vehicle.
‘Maybe an increased Endurance it good for something after all. If I double it through Charging Heart, it shouldn’t hurt too much… right?’
‘I can’t let them take me to the Underdog gang! Without the package, Damion will make mince meat out of me! This system might make me stro...

Gary’s mood had become a lot better after knocking those two guys out. Not only had he done a good deed, he had even been rewarded with a Level Up. Although it had, once again, only granted him a stat point to allocate without any new skill, it was nevertheless one leve...

Since he had woken up so early, Gary was in no hurry to get to school. In the worst case, he could always use Charging Heart to get there faster, but even at his lackadaisical pace he would arrive there with plenty of time to spare.
On his way, the high schooler checked out his stats. The first thing that he had noticed was the fact that just like his system had promised him he had gained 10 Exp for every Bond Mark he had placed on a person, for a total of 30 Exp.

Raven knew that his brother had a tendency to act reckless and often do stupid things since he wasn’t afraid of any consequences due to his older brother’s position. However, he was also someone who knew the importance of tarnishing the Grey Elephant gang’s name.
His phone was supposed to be kept on him at all times in case they were to be called for an important matter like right now. What’s more, Raven had informed Hawk beforehand and had even ...

Living in a Tier-3 town, crime was quite rampant and frequent. The police force was limited in these areas, budgets were low compared to the higher-tier cities, and there was overall less control from the gangs in the first place.
However, Slough could still have been considered as a moderate town to live in. The Underdogs had been a threatening force in the area. Because of this, the police would usually just have to deal with small disputes between the colour gangs rather than the lar...

After telling Amy to wait in her seat, Gary quickly headed over to Kai. The teenager hadn’t been sure that the other would actually come through, since his only reply had been [I’ll see what I can do]. His upperclassman wasn’t a magical wish granting genie after all and with what had happened in Slough, it wouldn’t have surprised him if he might have been occupied with something else.
Seeing him come through the door, especially with someone who looked older than th...

Hearing the doctor say those words, for a second it seemed like everything around him had gone quiet. Gary was looking at the adult in front of him, yet at the same time, his eyes weren’t focused. The words ‘bad news’ just constantly rang in his head again and again, drowning out the noise around him.
It felt as if someone had submerged him underwater, making him unable to breathe. This was because the thoughts he just had moments ago, could very well become a reality...

A minute had passed, and no matter how much the teenager shook his mother, she refused to wake up. He helplessly looked at her colleague, but the young university student didn’t know what to do either. She helplessly offered to call her an ambulance.

Blood was dripping from Gil's face, yet he garnered no sympathy from those present. After repeated slaps from Kirk, the teenager’s face was guaranteed to end up scarred. The Altered had stayed in his partial transformation state, yet the two females could see that he was clearly upset.
This was the first time either one of them had ever seen this man, so why weren’t quite sure why. Eventually, Kirk let go of Gil who had refused to say anything. The teenager had passed out...

To be able to bend a knife so easily, and to do that without a hint of fear, it was clear that the man who had appeared out of nowhere was far from normal. Every fiber of Gil’s being was telling him that the stranger was dangerous. His appearance had been something outside his expectation, so it had taken him a moment to understand what the other wanted from him.

Although Gil had grabbed on to the middle aged woman, due to the metal frame work between the aisles, he was unable to simply walk over to her side. As an employee of the supermarket, Maya was naturally aware of that and she dug her nails into the teenager’s hand that was still holding onto her clothes tightly.
“You bitch!” Gil shouted, as it had pierced his skin, and blood was trickling down it. Unwilling to let go, he pulled on Maya’s shirt, slamming her into the me...

The streets of Chavley had become chaotic, and it was getting worse by the second. Multiple shops and businesses that were open late had no choice but to close up. Unfortunately, some had failed to react in due time, causing them to make quite the loss in the process.
However, this had caused a certain development. The area of Chavley, although not one of the most affluent areas, was nevertheless under the control of the Underdogs. Many of those businesses either directly belonged to th...

Gary truly felt like his body had become a bottomless pit as no matter how much he ate, his hunger didn’t seem to get satisfied. On the plus side, he discovered that with his sharp teeth and string jaws there had been no need for him to worry about bones.
After each bite he could feel the human flesh energise his body in unique ways, and after a while had passed, all the bodies had disappeared. Alas, his supernatural devouring turned out to be limited to flesh. Once Hawk’...

Standing in the middle of the Karaoke room, it took a while for Gary to process what he had just done. The high schooler looked down at his blood covered hands, most of which had gathered on his still sharpened fingertips that currently resembled the claws of a wild beast.

His view was currently blocked at the moment, and it was by none other than the sys...

Pierre still hadn’t let go of Amy’s hand, so the high school girl let out a scream. Unfortunately, the loud music from the karaoke was indeed overbearing, drowning out her loud shrieking cry. Even if there had been no music, Amy doubted anyone would come to help them and not just because the room seemed to be pretty soundproof.

The police station was currently busier than ever, receiving non-stop calls from residents living in a certain part of Slough. All of them reported that they could hear fights, moans and groans, with some even testifying to have seen teenagers in red and grey beat up others dressed in black on the street.
It didn't take long for the police to figure out what was going on, but just like Gary had predicted, due to the scale of the gang war, they couldn’t respond immediately. ...

Gary knew that the smart thing would be to keep on watching, waiting for both sides to weaken each other further, so he could snoop in and finish off the losing side. This way he wouldn’t use a lot of Energy, while still being able to get some Exp.
However, he had decided to take some risks. Given the content of the Quest, it seemed wiser to get involved in the fight before any surprising backup could arrive. He didn’t know how long this gang war would last since it was just a matte...

An opportunity was exactly what Gary needed. Billy was far stronger than him, and if Gary wasn’t willing to eat people like he was, then there was almost no way for him to catch up, so much so that he had even gone through his head a number of times just exactly what he might do to Gil.
However, the system was a strange thing, and noticing that a gang war had arrived the system had answered him once more.

Just when Gary had thought the system might have turned over a new leaf, the system returned to being as unresponsive as ever.

Nevertheless, Gary needed to be careful about the promises he made. According to his system, should the other party end up breaking that, then his Bon...

Perhaps because it had been the first thing he had been confronted with after reverting back, or maybe it was because Blake being an Altered Hunter seemed as unbelievable as him being a Werewolf.
