00:00Channel Red Novel, Chapter 36, A Leader, Will There Be One Today?
00:16The message read on the phone.
00:18Oh, he seems to be getting more impatient, I wonder if something happened to him.
00:24Kai mused as he read the message on his phone.
00:27At the very top the name, Green Fong, was displayed.
00:31There is no need for you to ask me.
00:34I will notify you when I need you.
00:37Kai texted back and placed the phone back into his pocket as he continued on his way
00:41to a particular car park.
00:43The car park itself was quite large, 6 stories yet it was empty.
00:48Although the night sky was out, it wasn't too late, yet there were no cars present at
00:53all.
00:54The reason why it was empty was because today was due to it being another day like before,
00:59it was a fight night, and the multiple gangs in the area had made sure that those that
01:03didn't need to know about it, wouldn't stumble upon this place.
01:07So tell me again, why didn't you invite that Green Fong guy?
01:11Are you worried he might go crazy again?
01:14Inu asked, having caught a glimpse of Gary's message on Kai's phone.
01:19The newest member of their yet to be named gang was wearing the new uniform he had been
01:23given.
01:25The black overcoat with a golden trim and his matching trousers suited him surprisingly
01:29well.
01:31Because it would be a bit much to invite our leader to such a small occasion.
01:35Kai answered with a smirk, not turning around.
01:39Our leader.
01:40That green haired guy that could barely fight is supposed to be our leader.
01:45I know you had a sense of humor, but seriously tell me the real reason.
01:50Inu insisted.
01:51However, Kai didn't say another word, and just continued to move towards the car park.
01:57There were two guards up ahead who didn't look like they quite belonged there.
02:01Still, it was a perfect way to stop anyone nosy from snooping around.
02:06Inu, for a moment entertaining the possibility that Kai wasn't just pulling his leg, stopped
02:12in his tracks, making Marie, or Mai as she liked to be called, nearly walk into him.
02:18At the last moment, she gracefully sidestepped him.
02:22He really is not joking.
02:24I need to know what the hell I signed myself up for.
02:28Inu asked the girl, who just shook her head before following behind Kai.
02:33The two guards appeared to be adults in their late twenties or early thirties.
02:38They checked over Kai and his entourage briefly, yet didn't say anything else as the trio
02:43walked past them.
02:44Inside, the three could hear the sounds of several people cheering.
02:49Inu knew that once they went further in, he wouldn't be able to ask Kai as many questions,
02:54so he had to ask now.
02:56Fine, fine, let's say that kid is our leader, then isn't that all the more reason to bring
03:01him along.
03:03Not to belittle him or anything, but he clearly isn't really used to these kinds of things
03:08and some more fighting practice couldn't hurt either.
03:11The way he currently is.
03:13The leader of a gang could be said to be their most important person.
03:18In a way, they alone symbolized the prestige of their respective gang, hence why in most
03:23cases it was the gang member with the most strength.
03:26Due to the No Lethal Weapons Act, individual strength was important these days.
03:32In cases of disagreement when one side needed to convince another, the most forward way
03:37was to do it the good old fashioned way.
03:40However, this wasn't always the case, especially for established gangs it wasn't rare to have
03:45a wise leader at the top, one who wasn't just a musclehead.
03:49In those cases it would either be their right hand man or those under him with the frightening
03:54strength that would ensure that others followed their command.
03:57Usually, those kinds of leaders had something special about them, a type of unique charisma
04:03that had allowed them to get trustworthy people to work under them in the first place.
04:07Inu had joined in the belief that Kai would be the latter type, which was why he was shocked
04:12to learn that Gary was supposed to be their leader.
04:15He didn't even fit the former type, so with him as their gang's representative it was
04:19practically asking for trouble.
04:22The fighter could already foresee them getting picked on by other gangs.
04:26Alright, seeing that you're asking out of concern for the new gang you've joined, I
04:30suppose I shouldn't keep you out of the loop.
04:33You see, in my opinion there are certain qualities that distinguish a great leader from a good
04:38one.
04:39Kai replied, not slowing his steps.
04:42A great leader needs to have a reason to keep growing his territory.
04:47Putting it simply, they need ambition and hunger.
04:51At the moment, I'm testing that person's hunger since I want to see just how far he will go.
04:56If I'm right, then it's just a matter of time for Gary to start acting on his own.
05:02Once he does, it will be a perfect opportunity to find out just how ambitious he is.
05:08At this moment, the three could see several cars that had been parked in a way to make
05:12an arena.
05:13Crowds were cheering from behind them as a fight was already taking place.
05:18The first thing Inu noticed were certain students from Eden High.
05:22His fists tensed up as images of what happened before flashed through his head.
05:27He said that they will be our next opponent, I guess we are here to scout them today then.
05:33Inu thought.
05:34Don't worry.
05:36Mai spoke up.
05:38With the amount of different prospect gangs, subdivisions, and colored gangs here, no one
05:43will be stupid enough to start a fight, so your body can stop shaking.
05:47I'm not scared, but angry.
05:50Inu replied with gritted teeth.
05:53I can take on any one of those backstabbing bastards on their own.
05:57They only beat me because they ganged up on me.
06:00The girl just smiled and lightly patted him on the back before she looked for a good spot
06:05to watch the ongoing fight.
06:07Meanwhile, Kai had been paying attention to something else.
06:11On top of one of the cars, a little behind the arena, there was a large digital board
06:16that had the names of today's fighting roster, as well as the betting odds.
06:20Strange, I was sure Billy Buster was meant to be fighting today.
06:25Kai thought.
06:27Given his fighting record the gangs must have already tried to scout him.
06:31Were it not for his loss that day, I'm sure he would have gotten a serious offer.
06:36Was his pride hurt so badly that he wants to wait for people to forget, or did Gary
06:41actually manage to hurt him more than I thought?
06:44Kai wondered.
06:45At that very moment, Billy opened the fridge in his apartment complex.
06:50I'm so hungry.
06:52Billy thought as his eyes latched onto some raw lamb at the bottom of the fridge that
06:57had still yet to be cooked.
06:59Without even a moment's hesitation his hand grabbed it and before he knew what he was
07:03doing, he had started digging into it with his mouth ripping it apart.
07:07Eventually, when he was done with his meal, he let out a satisfied burp, scratching his
07:12neck, which showed a mark on his neck, where he had been bitten.
07:17Thanks for watching and subscribe my channel Channel Red Novel, Chapter 37, Turf War In
07:22the town of Slough there was an unwritten rule concerning the area where Gary lived.
07:27When the sun went down, that was when the underworld came out to play.
07:32The colored gangs and more would roam the streets.
07:36If Gary hadn't told his mother he would be staying at Tom's, who lived in a more affluent
07:40area, then she would be worried out of her mind.
07:43He had also often lied about his parents dropping him off by their apartment as well.
07:49As a former transporter for the underdogs, Gary had needed to learn not only where their
07:53own territories were, but also what territories belonged to which color gang as well as which
07:58areas were the most common fight spots.
08:01The knowledge that the entire town, except for a few key areas, had been divided in so
08:06many sub areas which the gangs claimed for their own, had left quite the bitter aftertaste
08:11in his mouth.
08:13It had been vitally important to memorize the safest route as it was rarely the most
08:17direct one.
08:19Gary often would have to go through a bunch of different territories to reach his destination.
08:24It was safe to say that he had been quite good at his job, which was why he had never
08:28failed a delivery until that day.
08:31At least I got this strange system out of this all.
08:35Gary thought to himself as he quickened his pace.
08:38He had his hood up covering his green hair, not that it stood out among all the other
08:42punks that were currently out on the streets.
08:46After all, he had chosen that hair color for that reason specifically.
08:50Still, for what he was about to do, he needed to make sure that he wouldn't be recognizable.
08:56Using what money he had left, he bought a few cheap rags from the convenience store
09:00that were black in color.
09:03Leaving the store, he searched for an unoccupied alley and started to rip them up, then tied
09:08them around his arm and legs, covering them fully.
09:11Once he was done, Gary headed towards a certain area of town.
09:16It didn't take him long to find what he was looking for.
09:19The graffiti on the wall that had marked this area as belonging to the black-colored gang
09:24appeared to have just recently been tagged over with red paint.
09:28This was the same as claiming ownership over this area.
09:32Gary closed his eyes and concentrated on his ears.
09:36All his senses had been sharpened ever since he woke up with the werewolf system.
09:40Listening carefully, he could hear the sounds of some people talking amongst themselves.
09:46Although he was unable to hear exactly what they said, he did make out the sound of a
09:50spray can.
09:52Opening his eyes he walked in the direction the sounds came from.
09:56It seems like luck is on my side tonight.
09:59But for the red-colored gang to have spread this far out into the black-colored gang's
10:03territory and to do it so brazenly.
10:06Surely they should know that the black-colored gang works for the underdogs.
10:10Are they just brave, stupid, or do they actually have the backing of someone who is willing
10:14to go against Damien and his goons?
10:17Gary thought as he stepped out.
10:20Hey, this ain't your territory.
10:23Do you really think you should be doing that?
10:26Gary asked, his heart beating louder with every word he spoke.
10:30Just as he had heard, there were three of them, all wearing red colors.
10:35One of them was clearly holding a spray can in the midst of tagging yet another wall,
10:39but as for the others, Gary had no clue what type of weapons they might have on them.
10:44The three young adults looked at each other for a second and started to laugh.
10:49The one closest to Gary, who also happened to be the largest among the group, therefore
10:54most likely designated as the lookout, came at Gary.
10:58Let's get him.
11:00The man swung at Gary, sure that the height difference would play out in his favor, but
11:04the high schooler was able to duck the first punch.
11:07Luckily, I used Charging Heart as soon as I entered the alleyway.
11:12Were those gang members always so aggressive?
11:15Here I thought I would need to taunt them a bit more.
11:18Gary saw an opening, a chance to attack, so he quickly kicked the first person right in
11:23the stomach, using the tip of his toes to dig in.
11:27The man hurled over and Gary mused that if he had gone in again he could have finished
11:31off the first member, but instead he decided to turn around and run.
11:35I can't underestimate them, and I can't let them see my face clearly.
11:40There's three of them and only one of me.
11:43He reminded himself as he widened the distance, but at the same time made sure to allow the
11:48gang members to follow after him.
11:51Running away, the red-colored gang members were soon chasing after Gary.
11:56Three members soon became six, then nine.
12:00The first three hadn't exactly kept quiet, making others notice them and join in the
12:04chase.
12:06The sheer number of them which continued to grow, reassured Gary that he had made the
12:10right decision in choosing not to fight.
12:13If he had been caught up with the first three, then there was a good chance the others would
12:17have joined and eventually outnumbered him.
12:20This morning, with Gary's brimming overconfidence after becoming a type of altered who had even
12:25won a fight in the arena, he would have decided to fight the three of them.
12:29After all, there was that one instance when he had managed to defeat five members of a
12:33colored gang, but after losing to XIN, he felt humbled.
12:38His crush had reminded him that one shouldn't judge someone by only their outer appearance.
12:44That guy, he's not fast but he isn't slowing down.
12:48One of the red gang members huffed as they continued to chase.
12:52Gary couldn't deny that fact, not when his system had assigned him a mere three points
12:56of dexterity which he figured was linked to his speed.
13:00Even after using Charging Heart his running wasn't much faster than the average person's.
13:05Fortunately, he more than made up for that in the stamina department that he had already
13:09confirmed was linked to his energy bar.
13:12Eventually, Gary arrived at his destination, a park with an open platform.
13:18Using his sensitive ears he could hear what he had been hoping for.
13:21I need help.
13:24Red colored gang has come to fight us.
13:27Gary shouted out loud.
13:29It was only then, that the dozen or so red colored gang members noticed that they had
13:34been following Gary all the way into an entirely different area, one that was under stricter
13:38control of the black colored gang.
13:41A group of black colored gang members that would regularly use the park as their hangout
13:45spot was already present and quickly surrounded the trespassers.
13:50New quest received, My Enemy's Enemy, using your knowledge you have caused quite the stir,
13:55you have instigated a turf war.
13:58Choose a side and make sure they win.
14:01Quest reward, 50 EXP per defeated person, there were around 10 of them in total, making
14:06the fight more or less even.
14:09The red members, seeing no situation out of this mess, decided to go ahead and fight.
14:15The two sides clashed bringing out their weapons in the form of bike chains, pocket knives
14:19and baseball bats.
14:22Some just used their fists and those were the ones who knew how to fight a little better
14:25than others.
14:27As for Gary, he didn't just stay a bystander in all of this, he was also joining in, mostly
14:33because he needed to.
14:35For one, he needed not to blow his cover and then there was also his quest reward.
14:40Nevertheless, Gary was sneaky enough to wait for the right chance before delivering the
14:44knockout blow to the weakened enemy.
14:47Were all of this a game, the gang members might complain about him essentially kill
14:52stealing, but as it was, the other black colored gang members just regarded him as an other
14:57member.
14:58In this intense moment they didn't care who got the last punch in, yet for Gary it was
15:03vitally important, because the counter that had appeared would only go up when he would
15:07knock someone out.
15:09The fight didn't last more than a few minutes, and in the end the black colored gang had
15:14won.
15:15Huffing and panting, three of them were still standing, well four if one included Gary,
15:20while the rest had lost consciousness.
15:22Surprisingly, despite some of them having had pocket knives, nobody was bleeding badly
15:27apart from a few scratches.
15:30Quest reward, 450 exp, congratulations, you have now reached, level 4, a stat point has
15:37been granted, 50 slash 460 exp, seeing this, Gary was pleased that he now had two total
15:44stat points to allocate, since he had not yet allocated the previous one.
15:49It wasn't that he hadn't been able to decide what to use it for, but he had come to the
15:53realization that it was wiser to allow his body to naturally improve until it hit some
15:58sort of limit, before he would start using them.
16:01Hey you are quite skilled there man, what group are you from?
16:05One of the black colored gang members approached Gary from behind who still had his face turned
16:10away.
16:11Unfortunately, as a transporter Gary had only needed to know about the colored gang's territories,
16:16so he didn't know the ins and outs of the gangs.
16:20While he was racking his brain on how to get out of the situation, he heard another sound
16:24from the system.
16:26Total quest received, is also my enemy.
16:30The truth is you belong to neither of these gangs and now you can come out on top.
16:35Defeat the remaining gang members.
16:38Quest reward, 50 exp per defeated person, this system.
16:42Thanks for watching and subscribe my channel channel red novel, chapter 38, the power of
16:48the moon although this new quest offered him the same rewards for the same type of work,
16:52Gary actually felt a bit conflicted.
16:56As the description had pointed out, he wasn't really a member of the black color gang, yet
17:00these people had helped him out and he had literally fought side by side with them just
17:04moments ago.
17:06Gary might be unable to lie his way out of the situation, but he could always just flee.
17:11I. I can't backstab them.
17:15Gary thought, but just as he was ready to get out of the park, someone let out a scream.
17:21Turning around, he could see that it had originated not too far from where he was.
17:26You should have stayed on your side, bastard.
17:29One of the black color gang members gleefully exclaimed as he whacked his baseball bat down
17:34on the back of one of the red color gang members who was unable to do anything about this sort
17:38of bullying.
17:39If that guy keeps hitting him like that, he, might even kill him.
17:45Gary realized, clenching his fists.
17:48It was then that the high schooler recalled how five members of the very same color gang
17:52had tried to abduct that girl not too far away from his home.
17:57During his time working for the underdogs, Gary had seen that not every member was a
18:01scrumbag, some still had some humanity left inside of them like Kirk, but watching this
18:06group of ruffians, they clearly didn't belong in that category.
18:10They robbed people, made it so the streets were unsafe, and didn't even think twice about
18:15hurting others.
18:17In a way, the actual big gangs above them were far more resectable as they at least
18:21made a real effort not to get regular civilians involved, yet it was different with the color
18:26gangs.
18:27Hey didn't you hear me, I've asked what group you're from.
18:31The black color gang member repeated his question, but Gary just kept looking at the guy with
18:36the baseball bat having fun against his helpless victims.
18:40What's more, the third member of their group picked up one of the dropped pocket knives,
18:45and brought it really close to the red color gang member's face.
18:49Let me give you a little reminder of what happens if you barge into the wrong territory.
18:55Seeing this, Gary couldn't take it anymore.
18:58Screw this, the system's right.
19:01Gary mumbled, the other person had heard what he had said but didn't quite understand the
19:05context.
19:06I don't belong to any of these gangs.
19:09The black color gang member needed a moment to glean the meaning behind the last thing
19:13the high schooler had said, but by that time a fist was about to connect with him.
19:19Gary had also activated his charging heart skill once more, making his fist speed up
19:24mid-swing, as it aimed right at his opponent's chin, sending him flying to the ground.
19:30Gary didn't hesitate as he moved on to the next one.
19:33Having watched Gary just knock out his buddy with a single hit, the gang member dropped
19:38the pocket knife in a panic, quickly trying to pick it back up.
19:42However, that proved to be a big mistake.
19:45The moment he looked down, the high schooler took it as his opportunity to kick him square
19:50in his face, making him join his buddy in dreamland.
19:54Unfortunately for Gary, the last member of the black color gang that was still up, was
19:59faster on the uptake.
20:01Before he could turn around to deal with him, it was Gary's turn to take a beating.
20:06Moments after his kick to the face, he felt a strong force on his back, stemming from
20:11a baseball bat.
20:13Damn it!
20:14Why do all these goons have to aim at my ribs?
20:18Dash 10 HP, congratulations!
20:21After repeatedly taking a beating your body has grown stronger.
20:26Don't get used to this though, otherwise people might think you're AM.
20:30Endurance plus 1, is this really the time to congratulate me?
20:35And what the heck is AM?
20:37Gary thought, as he could feel the baseball bat continually pound him.
20:42He had curled up into a ball, placing his hands above his head to protect it.
20:47The only silver lining was that the subsequent hits only took off 5 points of his HP, though
20:52he was unsure whether this was because the gang member was exhausted or his boosted endurance.
20:58Gritting his teeth, Gary bared through the pain, and let the adrenaline take care of
21:02the pain.
21:04He decided to go for his legs charging and tackling him.
21:07A move he had been practicing in rugby many times before.
21:12Lifting him up with his strength, Gary then soon slammed him down on the concrete floor,
21:16knocking him out and causing him to drop the bat.
21:20Quest reward, 150 EXP, 200-460 EXP, you are a lone wolf that is growing, would you like
21:28to force bond marking any of those that you have defeated?
21:321 5th, during the hunt, you will gain additional EXP for each successful mark you have successfully
21:37taken down, 1 5th, Gary had naturally declined the offer to mark more people.
21:43He still didn't understand what a hunt was, he had an idea, but he wasn't prepared to
21:48kill people, not if it could be avoided.
21:51I still need to figure out how to get rid of Barry's mark.
21:55Should I try to talk to him after rugby practice?
21:58Gary contemplated.
22:00It was getting late and it was time for Gary to head home, otherwise his mother would start
22:05to get suspicious.
22:07Due to his little fun with the color gangs, he hadn't had the time to go to the gym.
22:12It looked like he had to give it a miss for today and fail his daily quest.
22:16Still, he had gained way more EXP than he would have in the gym.
22:21Nevertheless, he imagined that with what he had just done, tensions between the two color
22:26gangs were guaranteed to rise and they would most likely act more cautious by traveling
22:30in bigger groups for the foreseeable future.
22:34It was unlikely that he would get another chance to farm so much EXP, but just doing
22:38it once had already been worth it.
22:41Gary might be unable to complete the gym part of his daily quests, but nothing was stopping
22:46him from stopping by the shop as he had done these past days to purchase some more protein.
22:51After finishing the raw steak away from the eyes of others, the high schooler once again
22:56had his energy restored, which helped him heal his injuries, yet there was still one
23:00problem.
23:01My money is going down a lot faster than I thought it would.
23:05I still don't have a consistent supply.
23:08What should I do?
23:09I thought Kai would be calling me more often, how long can this last?
23:14Gary thought seeing that he had about $200 or so left out of his total $500, the money
23:19from the initial transportation from the underdogs he didn't, t want to touch, planning to give
23:24that to his mother somehow.
23:27On his way home, Gary was surprised by the scent of raw food.
23:31He rubbed his eyes, because he could visibly see the scent in the air.
23:35It looked like a red mist that led up to a certain apartment.
23:39This, looks like the same thing I saw at school.
23:43It's the trail that allows me to follow those that are marked, so does that mean Barry lives
23:47in this area?
23:49Gary wondered.
23:51It was only a few streets away from where he lived, and he didn't like this thought
23:54at all.
23:56Sure, Barry often used his status to get what he wanted at school, but that still wasn't
24:01enough of a reason to kill him.
24:03He might not have been the nicest person, but there were far worse people than him.
24:08I can't just turn up at his door, especially not this late.
24:12I'll have to try to think of something tomorrow instead.
24:16I still have some time before the full moon anyway, and who knows maybe Tom was just making
24:21a big deal out of nothing.
24:23Getting home, Gary greeted his mother and sister and ate the dinner that she had left
24:27for him quite easily, despite already having eaten 2 kilograms of meat.
24:32His stomach just seemed endless ever since he had turned.
24:36When trying to go to sleep that night though, Gary was having trouble.
24:41He couldn't stop thinking about what would happen when the full moon was to come out.
24:45It didn't help that he could see his sister Amy sleeping on the bed next to him.
24:50Then, when the clock went past midnight over to the next day, the system delivered him
24:54a new message.
24:56The power of the moon is starting to run through your body.
25:00The fuller it gets, the more powerful you'll become.
25:04Current bonus, all stats plus 1, reading the message, Gary could feel that his body felt
25:09slightly different.
25:11When checking his stats, he could see that each of his 3 base stats now displayed a,
25:15plus 1, next to them.
25:18This was similar to what it looked like when he used Charging Heart, which told him that
25:22it was a temporary boost.
25:24Wow, I feel so alive right now.
25:28Will this seriously continue to happen as we get closer and closer to the full moon?
25:33Gary wondered.
25:34However, his happiness soon went away as the next set of messages appeared.
25:40Your bloodlust grows, 11 days until the next full moon, Thanks for watching and Subscribe
25:45My Channel Channel Red Novel, Chapter 39, Breaking News It was safe to say that after
25:50receiving that message in the middle of the night, Gary didn't get the best of sleep.
25:55Every time he would close his eyes, his brain would play out images of himself turning into
26:00a werewolf who would start clawing out his sister, since she was in the bed right next
26:04to his.
26:05It wasn't that his body felt like doing it, in fact, although the system claimed that
26:10his bloodlust had increased, Gary didn't feel any differences, least of all a sudden
26:14desire to harm anyone.
26:17The high schooler still felt like his usual self, apart from all the super strength and
26:21speed he felt from the powerful moon, but that was becoming more ordinary by the second
26:26for Gary.
26:28You are exhausted from a lack of sleep, until you get some proper rest, your energy bar
26:33has been lowered to 75%, well, whose fault is it that I couldn't sleep, you stupid system.
26:39Gary thought irritated, as he made his way to school.
26:43Still, even with 82,5 energy he could still use charging heart and do plenty of other
26:49things.
26:50It was also a pleasant surprise, that aside from energy, all his other stats weren't negatively
26:55affected in any way due to this.
26:59Entering his classroom, there was a brief encounter when Gary and Exine locked eyes
27:03with each other.
27:05The girl had actually been ready to approach Gary as she had developed a slight interest
27:09in him.
27:10Alas, unlike yesterday, he didn't pay her any special attention, completely ignoring
27:15her greeting, leaving her to just give an awkward wave.
27:20The boy had headed straight to his desk, put his bag next to him and then immediately put
27:24his head down.
27:26Now that he was in school, a wave of drowsiness came over him, so he planned to use the time
27:31before the teacher would arrive to get a quick nap in.
27:35Did something happen to him yesterday?
27:37Did he not sleep because he lost that fight to me?
27:41Exine wondered.
27:43Having failed to make up with one person who was supposed to like her, Exine was now very
27:48worried about how her conversation would go with the girl who was holding a grudge against
27:52her.
27:53By the time Tom finally arrived, he found his desk mate lightly snoring on his desk.
27:59Since this wasn't Gary's usual behavior, he decided against waking him up.
28:04Be it sheer dumb luck, his teachers not caring or perhaps having some sympathy for Gary,
28:09nobody had found a fault with him sleeping through their class.
28:13Eventually, it was break time, giving Tom a chance to talk to his friend.
28:18Good morning, sleepy head.
28:20Well, technically it's noon now, so how are you feeling?
28:25Was your impromptu nap some sort of statement about how useless all this stuff is were forced
28:30to learn or was it because it's getting closer to a...
28:33Tom looked left and right to see if anyone else was listening.
28:37Full moon.
28:39Hearing those words just reminded Gary of what the system had told him.
28:43I just couldn't get any sleep yesterday.
28:47It's nothing to do with that crap.
28:49Gary replied groggily after Tom had woken him up.
28:53Come on, why don't we just talk about something else?
28:56Sure, but it's kinda important, seeing as we only have 11 more days.
29:02Tom said.
29:03We have to figure this stuff out, check if there are any changes.
29:07Say, are you going to quit the rugby club?
29:11If you don't someone could seriously get dashed enough.
29:14Gary was so annoyed that he almost shouted.
29:18You're nagging me worse than my mom.
29:20Look, I know you mean well and I swear I was thinking about that stuff and also worrying
29:25about it.
29:26However, I can solve things my own way, and it's hard to explain this stuff, what's
29:32happening to me.
29:33It was hard on Tom as well, honestly, he couldn't remember the last time he and Gary had an
29:38argument, but lately it seemed like he was stepping on his nerves a little too much,
29:43but Tom had to admit he probably was being a little bit too overbearing.
29:47Gary was right, he couldn't imagine what it was like to be in his shoes right now.
29:53Right now, rugby is actually one of the only things going well for me, so I don't want
29:57to give up on something that can keep my mind off of everything else that's happening.
30:02Gary replied.
30:03When classes had come to an end, instead of heading to the next fighting club like Tom
30:08thought Gary would do, they found themselves on the rugby field once again.
30:13Due to there being a match coming up next week, they had asked the non-regulars to stay
30:17on the bench and observe, this included Tom.
30:21The regulars were split into two groups as they had a practice match against one another.
30:26Blake and Gary were on one team, while on the opposing team were Gil and Barry, who
30:31didn't exactly have good feelings towards the newest member of their team.
30:35This is a good chance for me to test a few things out.
30:39Gary thought as he looked at his stats.
30:42Strength 5, plus 1, Dexterity 3, plus 1, Endurance 9, plus 1, the boost from the moon was still
30:50present, but what Gary wanted to test was how much these small increments of numbers
30:54affected him.
30:56The whistle blew and as soon as it did he activated Charging Heart.
31:00His base stats, but he could see that he was also still receiving the one extra point
31:05of boost from the power of the moon.
31:07The ball was in a player's hands, but running past the others on the line, it looked like
31:12Gary had come out of nowhere, as he tackled the player with the ball, going straight for
31:17the legs.
31:18The large high school student went down almost instantly, and recovering straight away, Gary
31:23was also able to pick up the loose ball that was on the ground.
31:28Soon two others went to stop him, and he was able to dodge two of them with his reflexes
31:32and their predictable tackle patterns, until he eventually had been hit from the side and
31:37piled on by the rest of the team.
31:39Has he gotten faster?
31:41Heck, even his tackling has gotten better.
31:45Blake noticed.
31:46What are you doing, Broccoli Head?
31:49Mr. Root shouted.
31:51I got you so you could mainly play defense.
31:54Did you think your slow self could go for a point all on your own?
31:59If you manage to get possession of the ball, I want you to lure them and then pass it.
32:04Gary admitted that he got a bit carried away, but his body felt great.
32:09It felt so light when using Charging Heart, it was almost addictive.
32:14It was a strange feeling suddenly becoming twice the person you once were.
32:18As the rest of the game went on, Gary showed off his skills and it was noticeable to many
32:22of them on the field.
32:25Gary was soon becoming a prime tackler, and a reliable player.
32:29He had also tackled Barry thinking that with a touch he might be able to get rid of the
32:33marking, but it wasn't that easy.
32:36This is a bunch of crap.
32:38Gil said.
32:40Look how much they're praising that guy just because he's having a good day today.
32:44If this keeps happening, Harvey will never be allowed back on the team.
32:49We have to do something.
32:51Barry looked at Gary, but for some reason, ever since he had stood up to him, a chill
32:55ran down his spine whenever he saw the other.
32:59He either wanted to completely avoid him, or his instincts were telling him that he
33:03needed to do whatever he could to get rid of him, before he disappeared.
33:06Yeah, but there's nothing we can do.
33:10Blake made it abundantly clear that we're not to touch Gary.
33:14If we do something stupid, we might be the ones to get kicked off the team ourselves.
33:19Barry replied.
33:21Looking over at the benches, Gil's eyes set on someone else.
33:25Fine, we might be unable to touch Gary, but there is someone else that we can go for instead.
33:31With rugby not really being interesting to Tom, especially knowing that given his physique
33:36he would never amount to anything in that sport, he had decided to play on his phone
33:40and keep up to date with whatever he could.
33:43That was when he received a notification from the local news channel.
33:47Breaking news, murderer on the loose.
33:51In the small town of Slough in the Monte area a husband and wife were found dead in
33:55their apartment block this morning.
33:58Police have yet to reveal any information on what exactly had occurred but at the moment
34:02they are looking for any tips on their missing son, Billy Brunton.
34:06Whoa, I know the police haven't said it outright, but if they are looking for the
34:10son and he's missing, doesn't that just make him the prime suspect?
34:14What would make someone go so bad that they would kill their parents though?
34:19Tom wondered.
34:20It wasn't long after that, Gary received a disturbing message from his system, one
34:25that he didn't quite understand.
34:27Thanks for watching and subscribe my channel channel Red Novel, Chapter 40, Omega Wolf
34:33After club activities had ended, the members of the rugby team were praising Gary for his
34:37skills on the field.
34:39The majority of them had been worried about Mr Root choosing him.
34:44After all, Gary had been a member of the club ever since last year but he had never shown
34:48any real talent.
34:50Somebody getting better overnight should only be possible in mangas, novels or on TV, but
34:55in reality it would take a lot of effort, and yet somehow Gary seemed to have gone through
35:00some sort of growth spurt since the start of the week.
35:03He hadn't grown in height, yet he had still vastly improved in terms of speed and strength.
35:09Receiving so much praise was a new experience for Gary.
35:13He hadn't really been unpopular in class, in fact there was nobody in his class who
35:18really hated him.
35:20If one were to ask his classmates to describe him, most would have probably used class clown
35:25or a bit of a weirdo ever since he came back with his new hair style.
35:29However, his relationship with anyone but Tom had never really progressed past the level
35:34of an acquaintance.
35:36This feels amazing.
35:38Gary thought with a slightly smug smile on his face.
35:43Before the system he had never been particularly good at anything except perhaps for altered
35:47trivia, so getting some recognition from his fellow peers, the high schooler discovered
35:52that he quite enjoyed the feeling.
35:54Walking away from his teammates who had patted him, some playfully, others more seriously,
36:00Gary checked over his stats, hoping that one of them might have improved.
36:04As expected, he had no such luck.
36:07The only change was his energy that was now at 58 points since he had used Charging Heart
36:12a couple of times during their practice.
36:15Fortunately, his earlier sleep session had been deemed as enough rest for the system
36:19to revert his energy bar back to 100%.
36:23Huh, what's this?
36:25Gary wondered as he noticed that he had a new notification which hadn't popped up on
36:29its own.
36:30When did I get it?
36:33Was it at night when I finally fell asleep, or was it during my nap?
36:37Clicking on it, it opened up before him.
36:40The notification time indicated that it had appeared at 4 a.m. in the morning, which was
36:45around the time his desire for sleep had overwhelmed him.
36:48Unfortunately, even after reading the message, Gary didn't understand exactly what it was
36:53trying to tell him.
36:55An Omega has been created, what the hell is an Omega?
36:59Mumbling this question, Gary had been hoping for his system to shed some light on that
37:03topic.
37:04Alas, it wasn't that type of system.
37:08So far it had only provided him with insight whenever it chose to.
37:14Realizing that he had slept through something important, he quickly checked the quest tab
37:18and indeed it had the red dot to show that something had been added to it.
37:23Optional quest received, start your own family, you were young, stupid and didn't use protection,
37:28so now you gotta deal with the aftermath.
37:31Turn the Omega into your pack and turn it into a beta.
37:35Quest reward, unlocking of the pack, tab, I'm only 16.
37:40What kind of pervert designed this system to ask someone to start a family at my age?
37:45I'm not even able to support my own family, so how could I even afford to start another?
37:51No wonder this quest is optional.
37:53Gary felt a strong urge to punch the creator.
37:57Nevertheless, since those strange messages had appeared through the werewolf system,
38:02he was sure that they were important.
38:04Gary was sincerely hoping that his best friend might be more familiar with those terms and
38:09would be able to make some more sense out of those.
38:12I believe I did stumble upon those terms when looking into your
38:16special condition.
38:18Tom said, as he checked their surroundings, making sure nobody paid close attention to
38:23them.
38:24However, that wasn't too much of a problem.
38:28The players who had actually been running around, were now in the showers, while those
38:32like Tom, who had done nothing but warn the benches, had quickly changed into their normal
38:37clothes and already left.
38:39However, I don't know if they really apply to you.
38:43Like I said, there is a bunch of different lore for everything and who knows which one's
38:47true.
38:48In case you've forgotten, the silver pendant that most of those sources had agreed should
38:53be your bane, had done nothing at all, whereas chocolate nearly became your cause of death.
38:58Look, get some good rest today, you still look dead tired.
39:03Tomorrow's Saturday, so if you want we can both head to the library and do some research.
39:09Well knowing you, I'll probably end up as the one to do all the research to figure out
39:13what these things mean most likely.
39:15Say, where did you even hear those terms from anyway?
39:19Gary was trying to figure out how to answer Tom, after all he hadn't informed him about
39:24the system part of his transformation into a werewolf.
39:27Well, given my special condition, I looked some things up by myself.
39:33It's a bit of the reason why I'm so tired, actually.
39:37Gary answered, touching the back of his head.
39:40But like you said, everything is too confusing so I didn't really get most of it.
39:45Tom looked at his friend for a few seconds, he still remembered how Gary had told him
39:49off just this morning for talking about werewolves too much and now he was asking him for help.
39:55Were it not for his earlier outburst, he might have yanked on his best friend's chains by
39:59playfully demanding a date with Amy in return, but in the end Tom just nodded.
40:04Alright, then it's a deal.
40:07We'll meet at the public library at noon.
40:10While we're at it, we could also look up other things about, the moon and stars and such.
40:16Although Tom didn't say it, he was thinking of ways and learning of what exactly happened
40:20on a full moon.
40:22Instead of instigating another fight, Gary had once again stopped by the supermarket,
40:27before heading to the gym.
40:29Following the instructions the system provided, Gary had worked out until the system had rewarded
40:35him with 5 EXP.
40:37It was a welcome surprise, since he had been half expecting it to be cut down to 1 EXP
40:42or less, seeing that it had been cut in half once he had hit level 2.
40:46Still, he was a bit down that he had not experienced any other physical improvements.
40:52He understood that it would take him far less time than normal people, but he still couldn't
40:56help but be a bit impatient, not knowing when he might need to be more powerful.
41:02For once, Gary was able to head home like a normal high schooler.
41:06Ty's phone was still dead silent, so he decided to spend his evening with his family, something
41:11he didn't get to do often.
41:14As it turned out, just because he had time, didn't mean the rest of the world would exceed
41:18his desires.
41:20Shortly after he came home, his mother had rushed out because work had asked her to replace
41:25one of her co-workers, leaving the two teenagers on their own.
41:29In turn, Amy seemed more interested in spending time with her cell phone than spending precious
41:34time with her brother.
41:36If only we had more money, mom wouldn't have to work so hard.
41:40Gary thought.
41:42While enjoying his meal, Gary also paid attention to the TV that had been left on a news channel.
41:48The high schooler was very interested in the local park, since it had allowed him to keep
41:52up to date with things that were going on in SLU.
41:55Especially interesting were any updates to the gang situation and Gary was currently
42:00even more interested about any new discoveries in the case of the recent killings that Gary
42:04himself might have been involved in.
42:06Today, the channel was reporting on a different story though.
42:11The breaking news that was playing all day were about two individuals who had been killed
42:15in their own home.
42:17Gary had been in the middle of cutting up a piece of steak and eating it like a normal
42:21human would, until he saw the image of the deceased couple's missing son appear on screen.
42:27What the hell?
42:29That's Billy Buster.
42:31Gary blurted out.
42:32Huh, how do you know that guy?
42:35According to the news he doesn't go to your school.
42:38Amy asked.
42:40Despite her appearance, she had actually also been paying attention to the news, but Gary
42:45ignored her.
42:47I knew he was a scumbag for using those brass knuckles on me, but I never figured him for
42:51a murderer.
42:53What's more, to kill his parents.
42:56Gary thought, the steak in front of him, losing some of its taste.
43:01With Gary having his own plans again, at one point he had parted ways with Tom.
43:06Unbeknownst to the both of them, this turned out to be a mistake.
43:10Tom had been lost in his own thoughts, walking pretty much on autopilot, until he hit a meaty
43:16wall.
43:17Looking up, he saw a familiar face and when he took a few steps back, he bumped into someone
43:22else.
43:23Gil, Barry, Erhout nice to see you.
43:28If you don't mind, I kinda need to get home.
43:31Tom said nervously, already aware that that wasn't happening.
43:35Neither one of them should be living in this direction, and judging by the sneaky manner
43:40that they had appeared, they weren't just there to have a friendly chat with him.
