{ REUNITING }I looked beside me and saw I was still in the garden just that Rosetta was not beside me. " Where am I?" I asked myself gently looking at the familiar surroundings. I was still in my world just that it was a little different. [ YOU ARE IN THE GAMING SYSTEM, FRED. YOU WANTED TO MEET YOUR PARENT AND I AM GOING TO HELP YOU DO THAT ] Stealthy said with a soft voice I didn't quite understand what he meant so I thought I was just going to see a projection of their images. "Thank you." I replied with a shaky voice. I have seen my parents or even know what they look like. I had grew up in the orphanage and since I have grown, I had been struggling to make emds meet for myself. It hasn't been easy but I was able to cope until I met with fate. I stood still, feeling the familiar but eerie calm of the gaming system world envelop me. The air was thick with anticipation, my heart beating in sync with the hum of the system. As I took a tentative step forward, the surroundings sh

{ THE INFINITE POWER.; THE MYSTERIOUS GEM}I entered the gym tentatively, with the sound of my footsteps blending with the eerie silence in the air. The previously neat room was now disorganized, with exercise mats and weights scattered everywhere as if a storm had passed through. I quickly became alert due to my instincts. Behind me, Rosetta, Zack, and the rest of our group trailed, their eyes wide with a mix of curiosity and apprehension. I wondered who was responsible for the deed.I warned quietly, my words barely able to be heard. "There's something wrong here." I observed the gym room, which was previously tidy but is now messy.Rosetta tightened her grip on my hand, and I could feel the slight tremor of fear that ran through her. Despite the recent victory over Akuma, there was an unsettling feeling that danger still lurked nearby. We all knew Akuma had something up his sleeve, but I didn't know it was going to be this. "Do you think it's Akuma?" Zack asked, his voice hushed b

The men stood startled while I watched Thomas hit the floor. I saw the look on his face, and I felt my avatar enraged as Thomas closed his eyes. I wanted to change towards the men in black, but then they disappeared. Rushing towards Thomas, I looked into his eyes, and I saw that he was dead. I release a shockwave, destroying everything in front of me. But then I remembered I had the healing portion. "Apply the healing portion." I shouted at Shadow Blade. [I AM SORRY FREDERICK, BUT HE IS GONE] Claw said it tenderly, trying to soothe my heart. I clenched my jaw in anger as tears flooded my face. I looked back, and I saw Cassandra running towards me. "No! No!!" She shouted as tears flooded her eyes. Zack stood still and didn't know what to do. Rosetta walked slowly towards me and looked into my eyes. "It is alright, Fred. "It is okay to grieve." I cried gently in her arms, remembering the days I started as one of Thomas's students and how he had been there for me. Seeing him lifeless

{ SYSTEM NEW RULES}Zack and the rest gathered in my mansion, awaiting my arrival. "Do you think he is going to ever come back?" Cassandra asked, looking at Zack with a worried look on her face. "I have never ventured into space before, Cassie, so ask me stuff that looks real." Zack replied, feeling agitated himself. Everyone was edgy and was walking in an eggshell. The fact that they knew I was the key to solving the mystery they were in added to their fears, and they knew I couldn't die now. Their phone beeped at the same time, and a new system mission was given. [SYSTEM ALERT][SYSTEM TASK: PLAY YOUR NEXT MISSION TO GIVE STRENGTH TO FRED] [SYSTEM REWARD: A LIFE PORTION TO EACH GAMER AND A SUM OF $23,000,000] They all concentrated on the task coming up on their phones. They were all tired of winning the round and sending the healing portion strength as promised by the system. "Did you make the cut?" Zack asked, looking at all their faces. Wccler Judith, who was neutral. She ha

{ JONAS INJURED } Jonas tightened his grip on the dagger, his eyes narrowing as he took a step towards Diana. "Tell me the truth now, or so help me, Diana; I will find out myself, and it won't be pleasant. Tell me why you have to have your father locked away."Diana's eyes flashed with defiance. "You think you can intimidate me, Jonas? I've faced worse than you." She reached behind her, her fingers brushing the edge of the shelf, searching for something she could use to defend herself."Stop!" Jonas shouted, his voice echoing through the empty mansion. "I will not let you destroy this family. Not after everything we've been through. Father had to make sure I was safe, and I am going to do the same thing whether you like it or not." Jonas screamed at her. His eyes showed he was mad with rage, and he would do anything to get his answers from Diana.Diana's hand found the cold, hard surface of a marble bookend. She gripped it tightly, her heart pounding in her chest. "Jonas, you don't u
