They soon arrived at the estate gate. Caspian easily swiped his entrance blue card.“Access Granted; Welcome back Caspian Grey Hastings.”Alfred and Phineas couldn't believe their eyes. Caspian really had an apartment in this high end area.“Isn't this Royal Residential Estate?" Mackenzie asked, looking surprised.“Yes, you're welcome." Her eyes widened a bit as she stared at Caspian. Hmm... Didn't rumors say he is too poor to afford two meals daily? How come he lives here? Caspian proceeded to lead them inside. This will be his second time spending the night in his house.As they entered the estate, the group couldn't help but marvel at the luxurious surroundings. Manicured lawns and elegant fountains lined the pathways, while sleek, modern buildings towered above them."This place is incredible," Phineas whispered, his eyes wide as he took in the sights.Caspian led them to a stylish apartment building, swiping his key card at the entrance. They piled into the elevator, and Caspia

{Activate SPEED MODE}Caspian had sprinted into the road before he recalled he needed to activate speed mode.“Caspian!!”The three screamed at the same time. Caspian's heart raced as he sprinted towards the young lady, his legs pumping faster than he thought possible. Time seemed to slow down as he activated his speed mode, the world blurring around him.The bus's horn blared, its brakes screeching as the driver desperately tried to stop. The blonde lady stood frozen in the middle of the road, her eyes wide with terror as she saw the bus bearing down on her.With a final burst of speed, Caspian reached her just as the bus was about to make an impact. He wrapped his arms around her waist and leaped, using every ounce of his enhanced strength to propel them both out of harm's way.They tumbled onto the sidewalk, Caspian instinctively shielded the woman with his body as they hit the ground. The bus roared past, missing them by mere inches.For a moment, all was silent except for the so

"That was... incredible," he admitted, shaking his head. "I thought I had you."Evie grinned, giving Alfred a playful punch on the shoulder. "You almost did! That was a close one.""Alright, my turn," Caspian said, stepping up to the controls. "Let's see if I can take down the reigning champ."Evie raised an eyebrow, a competitive glint in her eye. "Oh, you think you can beat me, huh?"Caspian selected Guile as his character, flexing his fingers over the buttons. "I've got a few tricks up my sleeve."The match began, and it was clear from the start that this was going to be different. Caspian's Guile moved with precision, dodging Chun-Li's attacks and countering with well-timed Sonic Booms and Flash Kicks.Evie's brow furrowed in concentration as she realized Caspian was a more formidable opponent than she had anticipated. His Guile moved with a fluid grace she hadn't seen before, and she found herself on the defensive more often than not."Where did you learn to play like this?" Evie

“Gosh! So many emotions,” Evie exclaimed as she patted Caspian's shoulder. He chuckled and put down the microphone.The karaoke bar erupted into applause as Caspian and Evie finished their duet. “Whoa! Bravo!” “Encore! That was deep.”Caspian's face flushed with embarrassment as he took a bow. Evie grinned beside him. Phineas and Alfred high-fived each other. Their faces were beaming with smiles like proud Moms.“Wow, he's got some serious talent,” a girl at the next table said to her friend, nodding in Caspian's direction.“I know, right?” her friend replied. “I wonder what inspired him to sing like that. He was so into it. I almost thought he was the song owner.”“So true!”“These vocals he used… damn immersive. I think it's baritone” “No, it's tenor!”A group of guys nearby started discussing Caspian's vocals. One of them pulled out his phone and started searching for the song they had just performed.“Hey, this song is really popular,” he said, showing his friends the screen.

As they entered the karaoke bar, the group was immediately immersed in a sea of colorful lights and upbeat music. The air was electric with excitement, and the smell of snacks and drinks wafted through the air. Evie squealed with delight, grabbing Caspian's arm. “Oh, they have the most trending songs! Let's go sing it!” Caspian's eyes scanned the room, taking in the vibrant atmosphere. Caspian cheered her on. “Go for it, Evie! Show us your talent!” Evie shook her head, her eyes sparkling mischievously. “No way, I'm not singing alone. Caspian, come sing with me!” “Wait! Sing? No way I'm going up that stage to sing. No… no!” Caspian immediately disagreed. He did not know how to sing very well, and he found it a bit girlish and immature to be singing in Karaoke, filled with lots of girls and college students. Phineas and Alfred chimed in, “Yeah, Caspian, join her! Don't be shy.” Caspian rolled his eyes at them and, pointed at them in annoyance, “Why don't you both go sing

“Leave!?” Clayton sneered. “Who let you leave this place before me? You're too confident and I hate it.” He immediately moved forward and tried to grab Caspian’s shirt but Caspian acted fast and agile as he decisively moved away before Clayton could reach him. “I hate how proud you sound. But who am I to complain?” Caspian adjusted the collar of his shirt as he spoke. Disdain filled his voice. “Never in your entire life, try to touch me before even grabbing me. Don't make me let you regret it.” He warned. Clayton instantly felt insulted at once. This brat!! How did this good-for-nothing pretty face get the audacity to talk back at him? Is it because of his scholarship and useless achievements? Let's see how far he can go. His eyes blazed with evil intent as he chuckled. Clayton's face reddened with rage as he recalled the incident involving h Caddel which had caused him to be too embarrassed to go out with him. He knew he had to take revenge for Caddel if he wanted him

_Name:_ Aleric Kyle Christopher. _System Type:_ APEX Survival Protocol _Health:_ 0.5% _Stamina:_ 9% _Combat Proficiency:_ 85% _Available Skills:_ 17 + (5×6) _Currency:_ $ _Available Balance:_ $940 + (300×6) _System Points:_ 130 + (25×6) _System Tokens:_ 52 + (16×6) _Assigned Tasks:_ 2 + 6 _Completed Tasks:_ 2 + 6 [System Notification: Critical Health Warning!] [Recommended Purchase: Restore Health (350%) – Cost: $1000] Aleric’s vision flickered, his body trembling from exhaustion. His breath was ragged, and every inch of him screamed in agony. He barely had the strength to stay upright, let alone move. Then, the system’s notification popped up, and his gaze sharpened. "$1000?" he muttered under his breath, grimacing. That was a lot. Did he even have that much? His mind raced as he forced himself to focus on his status screen. _Currency:_ $940 + (300×6) His tired eyes widened slightly. "Wait..." He did a quick calculation in his head. _$940 plus (300×6).

Aleric's eyes blazed with rage as he summoned the last vestiges of his strength. The system's warnings still echoed in his mind, but he decided to push them behind him. This wasn't the time for him to heed the system's warning. He either finished them off, or they finished him, and he couldn't let that happen. They can't outdo him when he is younger and immature, outdo him in real life, and then outdo him in the game. IMPOSSIBLE!!. {Skill Activation: Abyss Breaker} The air around him seemed to tear apart, revealing a dark, swirling vortex. His veins pulsed with otherworldly energy as if the very fabric of reality was being channeled through his body. Aleric's mind flashed back to the countless hours he spent playing HQ Virtual Game. He recalled the Master skills he learned, the strategies he employed, and the victories he achieved. The memories flooded his consciousness, imbuing him with a sense of confidence and purpose. With a battle cry, Aleric launched himself at his brothe

Aleric groaned, pain thrumming through his skull like a war drum. His fingers twitched against the broken planks under him, but his body felt sluggish, unresponsive. His brother’s punch had carried more weight than expected, like getting hit by a damn truck. [Warning: Adrenaline Surge Required. Do you want to activate the Emergency Protocol?] Emergency Protocol? That meant pushing his body beyond its limits. That was just Risky. Dangerous. Way too extreme. But if he didn't act now, he'd be done for. "Activate it," Aleric growled, wiping blood from his mouth. [Apex System Protocol: Emergency Surge Activated] A violent jolt ripped through his veins. Heat flooded his limbs, numbing the pain and sharpening his senses. His heart pounded faster, his vision clearing in an instant. The world slowed. The eldest brother loomed over him, with muscles that showed his veins, a sadistic grin stretching across his face."You never learn, do you?" His fist came down, aiming straight f

The world shifted again. The damp, eerie swamp vanished in an instant, replaced by something else. Aleric found himself standing in the doorway of a dimly lit room, his breath catching in his throat. He knew this place. The familiarity of the place could never leave him. The torture. The suffering. He couldn't ever forget.His room. His old room. It was smaller than he remembered, the walls a lifeless shade of gray, cracked in places where time or rage had left its mark.The wooden floorboards creaked beneath his weight, some loose and splintered, as if they had been stomped on too many times. A battered bed frame sat in the far corner, its mattress sagging in the middle, covered in old, faded sheets.The desk against the wall was overturned, its drawers yanked out and empty, just as they had always been when someone had taken whatever little belonged to him. The only source of light came from a flickering bulb overhead, casting long, shifting shadows across the room. They str

Aleric barely had a moment to breathe before the system screen pulsed again, the translucent blue shifting to an ominous red. [NEW THREAT IDENTIFIED: OBSIDIAN STALKER – LEVEL 7] [Time Limit to complete the task: 5 Minutes] Tf!! His stomach clenched. Level 7?! He had barely survived the Level 3 creature. How the hell was he supposed to handle this? “No way! You must be joking! Give me a break. Yes, I know I have to complete ten tasks, but it doesn't have to be back to back-, okay? I'm still recovering.” [Request Denied!] And then, the world changed. The golden desert flickered and melted away, the dunes collapsing like sand slipping through an hourglass. The ground solidified, turning into rough, uneven stone. The sun above flickered, replaced by an eerie twilight, casting the world in a deep purple hue. A humid breeze rolled in, thick with the scent of damp moss and decaying wood. Aleric's boots scraped against the jagged rock as he steadied himself. Hell!! The desert wa

Aleric Kyle Christopher's head felt like it had been stuffed with cotton. One moment he'd been—well, he wasn't entirely sure what he'd been doing. The memories were fragmented, like pieces of a shattered mirror. He remembered traveling to the city to visit a friend, though the name and face escaped him. There had been a counter, drinks flowing freely, and a beautiful woman with eyes like amber. The bathroom. Her lips against his neck. Then... nothing. Now, he stood in the middle of a vast desert, the sun beating down mercilessly on his exposed skin. Sweat immediately began to form on his forehead, trickling down his temple. "What the actual hell?" Aleric muttered, shielding his eyes from the blinding sun. He spun around, searching for any sign of civilization, but there was nothing but sand in every direction, stretching toward the horizon. A translucent blue screen suddenly materialized before Aleric, hovering at eye level. [Welcome, Aleric Kyle Christopher, to the APEX Survival
