Logan wasn't expecting the revival Stone to work. He felt glad he could manage to return back to the living after being filled with lead. There wasn't a single scratch on his skin. This was all too amazing. Logan had never felt such rush of adrenaline before. "I warned you, Marcus. You can't kill me," he said, his eyes wide with excitement. Marcus stepped back, his hands trembling. "Wha... What are you?"Logan returned his hands to his pocket, his face stern. "That don't matter. At least now you know that you can't kill me."Marcus shouted at his men. "What are you waiting for? Reload your guns and kill this monster.'As Marcus men proceeded to reload their guns, Logan chilling voice stopped them."What do you think you're doing?" He called out, glaring at them out of the corner of his eyes. "Do you have a death wish?"The men froze. They were terrified of Logan's cold gaze and his threat. They couldn't even move a muscle. Logan frowned. "Now, nobody leaves. Anyone within this

The five doors

Logan paused, his fork an inch away from his mouth. Mi-young stared at Logan for the longest time as if she had just met the president. "Logan," she called out. "What are you doing here?"Logan slowly dropped his fork down. "Mi-young? How did you know I was here?""No fair, I asked you first," Mi-young said. "I'm surprised to find you in the Golden city. Do you know grandfather's searching all over for you?"Logan never expected to run into any of the Taeyang family here in the Golden city. However, it was inevitable that he would encounter Mi-young. There was no escaping it. "I'll just leave you two alone," Julius stood up and shook Logan's hand. "I'll keep in touch with you, Logan."Logan returned an uneasy smile to him as Julius quietly left. Mi-young took Julius seat, her face tensed. "Logan, answer me.""I'm here on a mission," Logan answered. "The big boss. I'm going to overthrow him and take over this city as the new big boss."Mi-young stared at Logan as if he had gone cr

The Car dealer

[Welcome to the Door of abundance][Here the rules are simple][Defeat the car dealer]Logan read the instructions displayed on the screen carefully. "That's it?" He asked himself. "Who's this car dealer and how do I beat him?"Logan was in the middle of an unknown city. People walked passed him on the sidewalks without giving him so much as a glance. Logan was very confused. How does the system intend him to beat some stranger if he can't see who it was?Just then, he heard a man calling out on people to buy some used cars. This man was fat with a bulging stomach and a sinister look in his eyes. Apparently, nobody wants to buy what he was selling or no one seemed interested. Logan decided to approach him. "Hey, there handsome," the merchant called out to Logan as he saw him approaching. "May I interest you in some cars?"Logan stared heavenwards to the sky. There was no sun, nor sky. Just foggy clouds.Logan had an idea this was a simulation created by the system. In other w

Logan felt satisfied. At least he had bargained at a fair price, leaving him some money to spare from his $8,000 budget. He extended his hand. "You've got yourself a deal, Mister G."Mister G reluctantly shook his hand. "In all my years, you're the most strangest customer I've ever had."Logan smirked. "It's a pleasure doing business with you, Mister G."After signing the necessary documents and payment, Logan drove out of the underground lot into the deserted roads. [Congratulations! You have defeated the car dealer and secured a car. You have unlocked the second key to the Door of Valor]Logan looked around, he was surprised to see there were no more people walking around the sidewalks. Suddenly, a wide gate appeared in the middle of the road. Logan stepped out of the car and approached the gate. As soon as he drew nearer to the gate, a key appeared in his hand. "This must be the door of Valor," Logan said thoughtfully. "Let's see what's inside."Logan unlocked the gate and sw

The Trade

After Logan wore his suit, he took the key to the door and unlocked it. Stepping inside, he found himself amidst an assembly of men in the same tuxedo suit as him. They were all gathered before a man seating behind a desk. This man would called out a number and when someone with that number steps out, he hands him an envelope. Logan couldn't understand what was happening. The man behind the desk was a fat seemingly wealthy man hitting the wrong side of forty. He extravagant clothes and accessories on his body.From time to time, he would stamp on the envelope before handing them over to the number he called. Logan noticed these men don't open their envelopes. They simply collected it and moved to the other room. "System, what is this?" Logan asked in a whisper?[Welcome to the door of Fate][These envelopes determines the fate of every man gathered here. Some would receive good fortune while others won't.][Objective: To accept or Reject one's fate]Logan frowned. "To accept o

The Big boss sat in his large airy office. At fifty, the Big Boss still had his impressive looks. He was built like a boxer with a muscular physique that was beyond his age. His mere presence commanded fear and respect at whomever looked at him. He wore his white hair combed back, and his full White beard flowing down his chin. He leaned back in his leather chair, his eyes fixed on Marcus. Marcus swallowed. Whenever he stood before the big boss, he was always nervous. The room was silent for a long time before the Big boss broke it. "Marcus," the Big Boss called, his voice deep. "You have my undivided attention. Now, enlighten me about this someone who wants to overthrow me?"Marcus passed his tongue over his dry lips. "Big Boss, this man's man is Logan. He's actually new in the city, but he's not someone to be taken lightly with. He publicly announced that he's going to overthrow you and take over this city."The Big Boss cocked his head, resting his chin on his hand. "Such

The fifth door

Logan walked aimlessly around the Maze.He was confused about where he should go. This maze was huge. "Where the hell is this key?" Logan asked himself. This wasn't how he wanted things to turn out. It was almost impossible to find a pin in a maze this loud. Moreover, he only had one whole hour to find the key to the next door. Logan thought about how cruel this system has been so far, making him do dangerous stuffs to level up. Just as Logan turned round a bend, he saw a stone table placed on the ground. Logan picked up the tablet and went through it. "What's this?" He asked himself.There were strange symbols etched on the surface of the tablet. These symbols reminded him of the memories of his past. A Cresent moon, a heart shaped symbol, a cross symbol and two crossed swords. These were the only symbols inscribed on the tablet. Logan pointed at the Cresent moon symbol as he tried to decipher it. "Does this symbol represents the curvature of my spine? It looks like it's

Dinner with the Big Boss

Logan sat down next to Mi-young as the car drove towards Mi-young's hotel. "Talk to me, what happened?" Mi-young asked Logan. Logan didn't respond. He kept his head bowed while his mind raced with thoughts. Finally, he spoke. "It's been a long night, Mi-young. I'd just like to take a nap."Mi-young wasn't having any of that. "Sure but at least give me something to work with. Where the hell have you been these past four days?"Logan rubbed his temple. "I've been away. That's all I can tell you, Mi-young."Mi-young studied him. She saw the seriousness in his eyes and decided not to press the issue any further. "The Big Boss wants to see you," she revealed. "Marcus told him everything about you. I've been instructed to bring you along with me on my dinner date with the Big Boss."Logan looked at her. "That's sooner than I expected."Mi-young shrugged. "I'm meeting with him tonight, two hours from now to be precise."Logan couldn't believe it. He was going to meet the Big Boss in two

The System

Logan didn't know what kind of challenge he expected from the Big Boss. Mi-young stood up sharply. "Big Boss, that's unacceptable. Why should Logan die for challenging you?""Because it takes more than just guts to challenge me, Mi-young," The Big Boss snapped. "If he isn't worth the onion then I'll kill him, for wasting my goddamn time."Mi-young glanced helplessly at Logan. "Logan, there's still time. You can bail out now. You don't have to go ahead with this."Logan stared at her. "Of course I have to. I can't give up now. I must see this through.""But you honestly can't win against him," Mi-young slammed her hands on the table. "Didn't you hear what he said? He said he'll kill you if you lose to him."Logan smirked. "You must know one thing, Mi-young. I can't lose. Don't worry about me, okay?"Mi-young sagged her shoulders. She didn't know what else to say to Logan. The Big Boss placed both hands on the table. "Mi-young, you'll be a distraction to us. Why don't you leave us al
