Tap Tycoon System!

In the living room.

Nathan is sitting on the sofa while looking at Natalie sitting opposite him, with Issa on her lap.

Natalie has her head hanging down, afraid to look directly at Nathan.

With his hands and legs crossed, Nathan asked in a strict tone, "So? What is it that 'you can explain'?"

After asking that, Nathan did not say anything else and just looked at Natalie with eyes full of seriousness.

"That…"

Natalie did not speak immediately, when she finally opened her mouth, she seemed hesitant and afraid to speak at the same time.

Nathan did not urge her or say anything but just his stare was enough to bring pressure to Natalie in this situation.

After a long time, Natalie sighed with a downcast look and guiltily said,

"I'm sorry, brother. I used my power and entered my novel's world again without telling you."

Hearing her words, Nathan opened his mouth and was about to lecture and reprimand her for a long time.

But after seeing Natalie's pitiful appearance, he can't help but stop.

In the end, he could only sighed helplessly and did not lecture her anymore.

Turning his gaze at her, he sighed and said, "Well, it can't be helped. You're already pretty strong too anyway, so I guess it's not that bad for you to start exploring things on your own."

Shaking his head, he smiled helplessly and said,

"So, don't worry about it. Starting now, you can go and explore the world on your own.

"You're going to be an adult in the future, I can't always keep you sheltered and be imprisoned around me like a little kid."

"I won't always be around you to protect you, that's why I gave you a power of your own. But I was too protective of you and did not allow you to grow up on your own."

At this time, Nathan can't help speak up about his realizations with a guilty tone.

Because of his over protectiveness, he did not notice that he was actually already hindering Natalie's growth.

Although there are items such as the Null Fruit that can help them increase their attributes such as physique and spirit, without being able to use it, those attributes might end up as nothing but mere decorations.

A sheltered cat won't be more powerful than a wild cat just because it was well taken care off inside its safe and comfortable home.

Knowing that, Nathan has finally decided that it's time for him to let Natalie live on her own.

So that she no longer will be imprisoned in this cage he calls protection.

Sitting opposite Nathan, Natalie at this time is already left speechless after hearing all of Nathan's words.

To be honest, Natalie was really scared at first after admitting her wrongdoing to Nathan.

Then after hearing his first words, Natalie was stunned and was confused as to what was happening.

But in the end, she understood everything and didn't know what to say.

Seeing Natalie not saying anything, Nathan stood up and walked towards her.

Patting her shoulders lightly, he said, "Go my dear little sister, go and start your own adventure."

"But always remember, no matter what happens, I'll just be here."

Then he continued walking, leaving the living room, heading in the direction of his room.

Before getting out of the room, he looked at Natalie again.

"One more thing," He said, "Remember to always be careful, okay?"

After saying that, he finally left for real this time.

Left alone in the living room, Natalie was staring in the direction Nathan left.

After some time passed, she muttered, "Brother, I promise you, I won't let you down. What I'm doing now is that I can become someone you can rely on."

Saying that, Natalie clenched her fist tightly so that veins even came out of her skin and firmly said,

"I need to get stronger quickly so as not to worry my brother and end up becoming a burden to him!"

After strengthening her resolve, Natalie stood up and left the living room with Issa lying in her hands.

…

Inside Nathan's room.

Nathan laid down on his bed after entering his room and stared at the ceiling in a daze.

Thinking back to what he said back in the living room, Nathan sighed.

Looking out the window, the sun had already set at this time from afar, he was able to see the night life of the city, starting.

While staring outside, with a melancholic mood, Nathan sighed again and said, "Sigh… If mother and father were here, I wonder if they would approve of my decision?"

He remained like that for some time before finally getting up in his bed.

Taking out his phone, he was about to open some social media app to pass the time but then he saw the Tap Tycoon System App.

"Hmm, I haven't used my 10 million taps for today. I guess I'll use it now."

Opening the app, without pause on his movements, Nathan started tapping on his phone.

Not even a second passed and a notification appeared in Nathan's eyes again, telling him that he has hit the 10 million tapping limit for today.

Seeing that, there was no surprise in Nathan's eyes.

Because of the way his strength improved, he knows that every time he levels up, all of his bodily abilities are being multiplied by two.

And now that he has reached Level 25 in physique and spirit, it can be said that his overall capability is more than 33 million times compared to a normal human.

Just that is enough to show how scary the power in Nathan's body now is.

He doesn't know just how powerful this actually is, but Nathan thought that just a casual punch from him might be more powerful than a nuclear weapon at this point.

That's why no matter what, Nathan didn't stop his morning exercise.

Because through that, he was somehow able to keep strength in check and not accidentally kill someone or break some buildings.

Dismissing the notification, Nathan stood up and left his room.
