Each success came with a price—a deep, aching pain that pulsed through Aidan’s body, radiating through his very bones. It was as if the system itself was punishing him for every achievement, extracting its toll with brutal precision. His breaths came shallow and quick, his vision blurring as he collapsed against the cold metallic wall of the training room.Pandora’s voice cut through the haze like a lifeline. “Aidan, you need to focus. The system is pushing you beyond human limits, but you must endure. You can’t let it break you.”Aidan groaned, his hands gripping his sides as the whispers in his mind grew louder.[Warning: Overexertion Detected. Recovery Mandatory.]“Shut up!” he snarled at the system, though he knew it couldn’t hear his frustration. “I’m not some damn machine!”The Price of SurvivalVictor stormed into the room, his boots echoing ominously. His face was grim, his jaw set tight as he hauled Aidan to his feet. “This isn’t a game, kid. If you want to survive, you have

Aidan stumbled back, clutching his head as the unfamiliar voice drilled into his mind. The whispers weren’t audible to anyone else—they were a torment reserved solely for him. It wasn’t just a voice; it was a presence. A relentless, cold, mechanical directive embedded deep within his brain.[System Activated]Objective 1: Survive.Objective 2: Secure the Cross Empire.Failure Condition: Death.The words burned into his thoughts like molten iron, their finality as stark as the void. Aidan gasped for air, gripping the edge of the desk to steady himself.“Make it stop,” he choked, his voice trembling with panic.Pandora’s glowing eyes locked onto him. “Aidan, what’s happening?”“It’s... in my head!” His breaths came in shallow bursts. “The system—it’s not just some inheritance. It’s a curse! It’s trying to control me.”Before anyone could react, the air around them shifted. The warehouse lights flickered, and the whirring sound of machinery grew louder. Panels in the walls slid open, rev

Aidan’s breathing was shallow as he paced the dimly lit room. The air felt heavy, almost electric, as if the walls were alive with the secrets of the Cross empire. He had thought inheriting wealth would bring freedom, but instead, it had shackled him to a labyrinth of danger, manipulation, and greed. His mind raced, his heart pounding as the weight of the situation pressed down on him.Victor broke the silence, his voice calm but firm. “Aidan, sitting here won’t help. If you want to survive this, you need to act—and fast.”Aidan turned to face him, his frustration bubbling to the surface. “Act? How am I supposed to act when I don’t even know what’s happening? I didn’t ask for any of this!”Selena, leaning against the table, crossed her arms. “No one asks for power, Aidan. But now that you have it, you need to decide how to wield it. The Cross empire is more than just wealth. It’s influence, control, and—”“A target,” Aidan interjected bitterly. “It’s a target painted right on my back.

The room seemed to close in around Aidan as the screen went black. His heart raced, the man’s cold, calculating smile burned into his mind. Whoever he was, he knew Aidan. And worse, he had been waiting for him.Victor’s voice broke the silence. “That was Dominic Voss. He’s not just any enemy of the Cross Empire—he’s the worst of them.”Aidan turned sharply toward Victor, his jaw tightening. “Who is he? And why the hell does he know me?”Victor hesitated, his usually composed face shadowed with worry. “Voss was once your father’s closest ally. He helped build the Cross Empire, but when power and ambition took over, their partnership turned to hatred. Voss believed your father stole something from him—something valuable enough to destroy entire lives.”“And now he thinks I have it?” Aidan’s voice rose, anger and panic twisting together.The woman, who had been monitoring the screens, chimed in, her tone steady but urgent. “Not just thinks. He’s convinced. And he’ll stop at nothing to ge

Aidan sat frozen, his breath shallow as the words from the call echoed in his mind: Thirty days to claim the inheritance… or lose everything. The air in the room seemed heavier now, suffocating him under the weight of a legacy he never asked for. The hum of the overhead light buzzed faintly, but even that felt distant, drowned out by the storm raging inside him.The Cross Empire wasn’t just an inheritance. It was a labyrinth of power, corruption, and danger, and now, somehow, he had been thrust to the center of it.It wasn’t loud—just three sharp raps against the metal door of the lab. Aidan’s body tensed. No one visited him here, not unless it was urgent. His eyes darted to the door, his pulse quickening.Another knock, more insistent this time.“Aidan Harper,” a voice called through the door, calm and steady. “We know you’re in there. Open up.”His chest tightened. The voice wasn’t familiar, but the tone carried authority. He stood, backing away from the door instinctively. The phon

Aidan’s heart skipped a beat as the figure stepped forward into the dim light, revealing a face he never thought he would see again. His breath caught in his throat, a cold shiver running down his spine.“Pandora,” Aidan muttered under his breath, the name leaving his lips like a prayer and a curse all at once.Pandora stood before him, her robotic form gleaming under the moonlight, her eyes glowing a cold, artificial blue. Her body was sleek, composed of metallic plates that mimicked human skin, but there was no warmth in her movements. She was more machine than woman now, yet her presence still commanded the same chilling authority.Aidan felt a surge of anger and confusion mix in his chest, threatening to consume him. Pandora had been the one person he had trusted, or at least thought he could. She had been his father’s right hand, a brilliant mind in robotics, and a figure who had always seemed to protect him when things got rough. But she wasn’t here to protect him now.“Hello, A
