{ ENTANGLED RELATIONSHIP}I woke up the following day, and I felt like not going to school. We were done with the examination, and the fear of checking my result scared me. My phone beeped, and I remembered the message I had gotten from the system. "What is this dark gaming system all about? And why would anyone want to create something destructive?" I asked myself as I hit the shower. As I scrubbed my body, I remembered why Diana had told me about her father. Do I need to play the fool to get closer to her father? Our relationship was strictly based on a bargain. He had fulfilled his part of the deal, and it was left to me. Although he hasn't said anything about locating Flora, I held onto his balance. My phone rang again as I woke up in my bedroom. Thinking it was Diana, I decided not to pick it up.I gently went over to the mirror and looked at the hole in my chest. I saw the light was changing from blue and was showing double colors. I wonder why it was two colors. [YOU NOW HAVE

{ CLOSE TO DEATH } Zack plunged towards Diana as both of them clashed in a bit of a battle. The battleground intensified as both tried to prove they were better than each other. Diana was a better fighter, and he managed to have Zack pinned in no time. I had taken back my body from Shadow Blade. I looked around me, and it was a mess. He had destroyed everything in his path. Mr. Dickson was lucky to have escaped with his life. I walked towards the car and saw Diana standing over Zack. "I think I told you to leave!" I shouted angrily at Zack. Diana looked at me and smirked. "What are you going to do? you can. Either take the car and drive out of here, leaving Zack, or you fight me for his life." Diana said, looking at me. "I thought you loved me once; was that all a lie?" I asked as I kept walking towards her. "First, I didn't love you. You are just nothing like my type. The point is getting to know more about you, and I think I do already." I looked back, and I saw Jonas walking

{ BACK TO THE WORLD }"it is not about being possible or not because the Avatar is now in your world." Shadow Blade looked at me. "come." He said again and I followed him. As we walked, I was surprised to see a lot of system revenge systems and even updates. " Are you supposed to be showing me this?" I asked looking at him "Yes, we all avatars had come together. Each fusing with a suitable host and together we are going to try and take down these rebels together." Claw looked at me " Don't tell me you are scared of just one Avatar when there are many lots of you. " I said with a smile and Shadow Blade's gaze looked stern. " You need to understand that the Avatar that got awakened and left the gaming world knows about all other avatars and their powers. Attacking us at our weakest is very easy for him and he will make use of every chance he gets to take us down. You need to be prepared for whatever is coming." Claw looked at me " You are our only chance. Help save the human world an

{ THE KIDNAP}[AREN'T YOU SUPPOSED TO DO SOMETHING LIKE THIS IN THE NIGHT?] Claw asked "I chose morning for a reason. We will talk about that later, when I know who we are going for." I replied and picked up my keys. For the first time, I felt like I was a fugitive, but I wasn't from anyone. I was just a teenage boy declared missing. I drove through the busy street with my glass rolled up. It was tinted anyway, so I wasn't bothered by anyone seeing my face. I looked ahead and saw some people going about their normal duties. "Oh, sh*t!" I shouted, hitting the car wheel. [IS THERE GOING TO BE A PROBLEM?] Shadow Blade asked, [ NOT IF I DO THIS] Claw replied to him, and suddenly, my outfit changed again into something simple with a shade on my face. I looked at the screen and laughed. I was looking more civilian. "What are you?" I asked Claw. He had the power to disguise himself and change into whoever and whatever he wanted. My head began to spin. Why do I need to capture Diana when I

**The Escape**As the car came to a screeching halt in the ditch, Zack and Flora were thrown forward, their bodies jolting from the impact. Flora's heart raced as she struggled to catch her breath, her hands trembling as she clutched onto the door handle. She was bleeding as she tried to hold on. "Are you okay?" Zack's voice was urgent, filled with concern, as he turned to Flora.Flora nodded shakily, her eyes wide with fear. "Yeah, I think so," she managed to stammer out.They quickly assessed their surroundings. The flashlight from Jonas's car illuminated the area, casting long shadows across the deserted road. Zack knew they had to act fast before Jonas and his men caught up to them."We need to get out of here," Zack said, his voice firm with determination. "We can't stay in the car."Flora nodded in agreement, her hands still trembling as she unbuckled her seatbelt. Together, they pushed open the doors and stumbled out onto the uneven ground.Zack scanned the area, searching for
