My Werewolf System

Chapter 505 Reach Me

In the past when things like a tough decision came up, Gary would have confined in Tom for advice. Since he was on his own, the teenager was wondering what his best choice would. Although there was no description on the skills, the skill names themselves gave him some information.

Lethal Pounce had to be a type of movement skill. In the fight with Jayden, it might have allowed him to cover the distance between the two of them. It had been tricky getting through the wind attack, but in the end the Werewolf had managed to do it without the need for a skill. Of course, the skill could have some other effects, but there was no way to know that without choosing it.

Then there was the Berserker Mode, which promised a lot more synergy with his current stats. From what Gary knew Berserkers were usually type that focused on their rage, gaining pure power in favor of defense. The more wounds they took, the more power they could exhibit, so in his case, the Werewolf assumed that less Health would translate to a bigger boost to his Strength.

Fortunately, his Endurance had always been high, and coupled with his Last Stand skill, Berserker Mode might prove to be a deadly combo. Unfortunately, it was once again a skill that seemed like a double-edged sword, and might be more suited as a last resort.0

‘I don’t like the idea of playing around with death. I get that taking this skill might very well mean that I would be at my strongest at that point, but if I miscalculate even slightly, it might be it for me… stupid System, why did you have to taunt me by showing that I missed out on a potential choice? Now I can’t help but be curious!’

Rolling from one side to the other on his bed, Gary was suddenly informed that it was past midnight, courtesy of his system that would update him on how many days it was until the next full moon.

‘System, can’t you give me a tip or suggestion? Is it possible to trade those in for a more useful skill, how about something that allows me and others to have a peaceful time during the full moon?’

Unsurprisingly, Gary got no answer. He started listing the pros and cons, once again, but In the end the decision was so tough that the exhausted teenager was starting to fall asleep and as he closed his eyes he pushed his finger forward and had picked one of the skills.

A small nap later, he suddenly woke up with a scary realisation. Taking a look on his phone, he noticed that he had been asleep for over an hour. ‘Ah crap, Jayden, he's going to kill me.’

Taking the quick way to the rooftop and not wanting Jayden to wait any longer, Gary opened the outside window, and started to climb up. With his strength and grip he was easily able to throw himself a few ledges up with a single hand.

He continued to do this, until he eventually reached the dormitory of his building, and there he could see the one and only waiting in the distance.

“FINALLY!!! I was just about to walk to your room and drag you here. Do you have any idea how many people would be willing to pay me to get to hang out with me and yet here you are taking your sweet time.” Jayden tapped his foot in anger, the smile on his face was showing his teeth.

“I'm so sorry.” Gary immediately apologised, putting both of his hands together. He even went as far to get onto his knees like he was begging. “I promise, the teachers…”

“Relax, there is still one more person I need to see before leaving anyway, besides I like being on roof tops.” Jaydne said as he turned around and looked at the view from atop the academy.

“Gary, there is a lot I want to speak to you about. The academy, the AFC, the Tier cities, the gangs, my father, Xin. The list is huge, but we don’t have too much time, and I’m afraid at the moment, most of that stuff will just unnecessarily put pressure on your shoulders.”

Jayden then turned around with a very serious expression on his face. It wasn’t his usually smiley self instead it was a worried look, which looked foreign on the young adult. Gary knew what this was like because it was the same for him when he was in the Underdogs.

“Jayden… is everything okay? Do you need help with anything?” Gary asked.

Those words seemed to snap Jayden out of his daze as he shook his head. “Help? From you. I appreciate the gesture, Gary, but If I can’t solve my problems, then what do you think you could possibly do?”

It was true but for some reason at that moment Gary wanted to offer his hand to pull Jayden out of whatever struggle he was in at the moment.

“I’m amazed at the speed of your growth. With what you’ve shown, I don’t doubt that you would fare well in the AFC’s lower ranks, but until you reach where I’m standing, my problems should not be yours to worry about. I do sometimes wish there was someone at my side to discuss these type of things, and maybe its stupid of me to say this but im going to anyway.

Jayden took in a deep breath as he walked over to where Gary was, and then stopped right in front of him putting his hand out, onto the teenager’s shoulders.

“Get stronger, strong enough so you can stand by my side, and when you do, we can have that type of conversation”

For some reason, Gary felt like whatever problems Jaydne was having they had to be relatively big if for one he couldn’t solve them and two, he needed someone just as strong as him. For this person though, that had helped him every step of the way, of course Gary would take their hand.

“Of course,” Gary said. “I promise that I will get as strong as you, and when I am, if there is anything you need help with, I will be there.”

[Would you like to make a bond mark with Jayden Clove?]

This was a promise that Gary didn't want to break himself, no matter who he became so he decided to make the mark anyway. Not that he thought he would need it any time soon.

“Haha, you surely have balls. Well, should you become strong enough to stand by my side, I might actually have to give you my blessing for Xin. Well, getting her to agree, is still up to you first, of course.”

Gary let go and put both hands behind his head as his nostrils grew slightly bigger. “Haha, yeah.”

“I'm sorry about this, but my message basically is, reach where I am,” Jayden confirmed.

With that said, Jayden was off. The Werewolf didn’t know when they would see each other again, but eventually, when Gary felt like he was strong enough and had the power to help, he would find Jayden and repay him.
