Unbeknownst to me, four endless days passed until the cycle repeated itself and a new Monday emerged. Each day, I struggled to fulfill the missions imposed by the inscrutable system, while my body gradually transformed. My musculature became fuzzy and sore, punished by the endless exercises I had to perform: a hundred squats, a hundred push-ups, a hundred sit-ups.... The constant increase of the physical load exhausted me mercilessly. I began to question the validity of these daily activities, feeling that they made no sense at all.At six o'clock in the morning, before the sun timidly peeked over the horizon, I had to get ready to run an office as the CEO of a company. Often, I would arrive exhausted after hours of reading and heated discussions with the other employees, who were waiting for my crucial decisions. Although I had become accustomed to this overwhelming responsibility, I had not yet received my first salary. I was in constant debt to Lucia, who had invested so much in me

I headed to my office, looking for a moment's rest. I was exhausted after a poor performance, despite having given correct answers.However, at that moment, Lucia suddenly appeared. I watched as she walked through the door, somewhat unusually conspicuously. And then, she addressed me directly."You look exhausted..." she whispered."Chief...""Leandro, would you mind if I locked the door?""No... no, of course not..." I replied, almost breathless.Her intentions were obvious, and I decided to play along as my heartbeat quickened. Lucia closed the door and approached the desk where I was, triggering a wave of nervousness in me. I had imagined something like this could happen, but never in this office.At that moment, my heart was pounding and a tingle ran through my stomach. I realized that Lucia was being seductive with me and I couldn't help but be attracted to her. Yet, I also felt it was disrespectful to her. I respected her deeply, even though she was perhaps younger than me.I de

Surprisingly, I felt an explosion from one moment to the next, the ground shifting, my body shaking from the impact. The explosion had caused the structure of this warehouse to move. Dust spread everywhere and my vision began to blur, but the sensation of pain spread throughout my being. Dirt covered my face and clothes. Apparently it was the downstairs where I was.I moved towards the nearest stairs and saw a kind of fire caused by the explosion, amidst mists of smoke and dust. There, prostrate on the floor, lay two users, their bodies twisted in the last breath of agony. Without hesitation, the survival instinct took control of my mind. I fired swiftly towards both, annihilating their existence and reducing the number of threats standing in my way of liberation.In the blink of an eye, a notification flashed on the screen of my device.(Two targets eliminated)Each kill was more reassurance for me. My wounds slowed me down and made my aim difficult. However, there was no other optio

The deafening roar of the explosion left me dazed, disoriented in the darkness that enveloped me. For several minutes, I crawled on the rough, dirty floor, unaware of what was going on around me. However, as my vision cleared, I spotted a trail of blood that seemed to be the way to go. My instinct urged me to follow it, until I finally found the subject who was the target, badly wounded. I did not hesitate for a moment to put an end to his life, convinced that it was the best thing for everyone. Harold, without a doubt, would have made him suffer in the worst possible way.I unloaded two accurate shots into his body until the system gave me the notification.(Target eliminated)Sharp pain seized my knees, punished by the constant rubbing against the rough ground. Despite the blood I was losing and the wounds covering my body, nothing stopped me. I could not allow Harold to carry out his threat and harm Lucia.However, in an instant, Harold appeared, holding a metal bar which he used t

I went to a shooting range to distract myself, the smell of gunpowder filled the air and the sound of gunfire echoed in my ears. Frustration was taking hold of me as I watched my bullets miss the target again and again. Centimeters of distance separated my target from victory, but my aim was failing dismally. The shooting range was almost empty, only a brave few ventured into that challenging place.An overwhelming sense of despair washed over me as I looked at the stats and skills the system offered me. My body was fit, with decent muscle mass and stamina. However, my skill with weapons was disappointing, and my previous missions showed only failures and disappointments.[Statistics]Muscle mass 45Strength 40Endurance 30Intelligence 82Weapon proficiency 15Position 230[Mission statistics]Eliminated users 10Targets eliminated 3Completed missions 2Rules broken 2Number of times punished 2[Skills](Sniper vision)(Movement calculator)15(Strength of Hercules)(Salamander regen
