Jamie Aldridge never asked for this. He never asked for the system, for the power, for the missions that drag him deeper into Seattle’s underworld. But when life throws a digital demon into your head, what choice do you have? Play the game or get played. Simple. Except it’s not that simple. Because this game? It’s rigged. And the stakes? Well, they’re higher than Jamie could ever imagine. "Who the hell are you?" Jamie demanded, his voice rough with exhaustion, and his mind a tangled mess of fear and fury. The Broker smiled, a thin, calculated curve of lips that held no warmth. "I'm the man who’s going to change your life, Jamie. Or end it. Depends on how well you play." "Play?" Jamie spat, barely holding back the urge to punch that smug look off his face. "I’m not playing your game. Not anymore." The Broker’s eyes shone with a dark and knowing aura. "Oh, but you are. You just don’t realize it yet." Now Jamie’s on a collision course with forces beyond his control—shadowy figures who pull the strings, secrets buried so deep they might as well be myths, and a system that seems determined to push him to the brink. And just when he thinks he can’t take any more, life throws him another curveball: Emma. His unbearable bully of a wife. Pregnant. Yeah. Ain't gonna end well. In a world where survival is a day-to-day battle and the lines between ally and enemy blur with every step, Jamie has to figure out one thing—how to win when every move feels like a losing one. Because failure? It’s not an option. Not when his life, and the life of his unborn child, hangs in the balance.

Chapter 1: Near-Death, New Life (0x01NLD)
I don’t know what’s happening. No, scratch that—I don’t know if I’m even alive right now. My chest hurts like hell, and every breath feels like a damn knife twisting in my lungs. Shit, I’m bleeding. I think. Everything’s a blur—red, black, red, and then nothing but pain.Fuck. Fuck! I can’t breathe, can’t think, can’t… Shit, is this it? Is this how I go out? Some stupid accident, some drunk driver swerving at the last second. Was I even paying attention? No, I wasn’t. Too busy thinking about how I’d survive another day in that godforsaken house, with Emma breathing down my neck, reminding me how much of a waste of space I am.But this...this is different. I’m different.There’s a voice. No, not a voice—a whisper. It’s like a thought, but not mine. Soft, insistent. "Initiating Rolin system… Connecting… Establishing parameters…" The hell? Am I losing my mind now too? Figures, my body’s failing, might as well let my brain follow.I blink, or at least I think I do. My vision’s all fucked

Chapter 2: The First Step (0x02TFS)
I'm not dead. I keep reminding myself of that. Every breath I take is like inhaling a fresh dose of reality—a bitter, metallic taste in the back of my throat that tells me I’ve just stepped into some twisted new version of my life. I've watched a million animes, read a thousand mangas and played gazillion VR games, but not even once would I have ever imagined this would be happening to me in real life.The glowing blue screen hovers at the edge of my vision, pulsing softly, like it’s waiting for something. Probably waiting for me to mess up again. Well, joke's on it—I’m already a screw-up, so the pressure’s off.I’m wandering aimlessly through the dark streets, my mind half-dazed, when the screen flickers, catching my attention.*First mission commencing: Neutralize threat. Location: Three blocks north. Objective: 100 Essence.*"Neutralize threat? What the hell does that mean?" I mutter, glancing around as if the screen might answer me. Of course, it doesn’t. This system, Rolin - as i

Chapter 3: Oz the Eccentric (0x03OTE)
I’m not sure how I end up in front of a rundown, half-collapsed building that looks like it’s been abandoned since the Great Depression. My legs just kind of dragged me here, one step after the other, until I’m standing in front of this decrepit piece of shit that could’ve been a crack den in a past life. Hell, maybe it still is.The Rolin system’s been quiet since that street brawl, which is weird because I half-expected it to keep barking orders at me. But no, it’s silent. Maybe it’s waiting for something, or someone. My nose drips again, and I swipe at it with a grimace. Another lovely feature of my fucked-up life—a nose that never quits.I take a deep breath, or at least as deep as my aching ribs will allow, and push open the door. It creaks like it’s about to fall off its hinges, and the smell hits me first—a mix of musty air, something burnt, and a hint of… is that oil paint? Inside, it’s dark, with only streaks of light cutting through the grimy windows. I can barely make out

Chapter 4: A Taste of Power (0x04TOP)
I should be nervous. I should be sweating bullets, thinking about all the ways this can go wrong, but instead, there’s this weird calm washing over me as I make my way toward the warehouse. The Rolin system has been quiet since I accepted the mission, just that soft hum in the back of my mind, like it’s biding its time. And maybe I’m doing the same—waiting for something to click, for that moment when it all makes sense. The warehouse is in the industrial district, one of those places you don’t go unless you’ve got a damn good reason. Tonight, I’ve got one—500 Essence, a number that’s burned itself into my brain since the mission details popped up. That’s a hell of a lot more than I got from those street thugs, which means this job is bigger, more dangerous. But then, isn’t that what I signed up for?I slip around the back of the building, avoiding the main entrance. The place is dark, just a few scattered lights casting shadows across the cracked concrete. I pause at a side door, the

Chapter 5: Emma’s Suspicion (0x05ES)
I’m standing outside the door to our apartment, my hand hovering over the knob, the weight of the metal case heavy in my other hand. The rush from the warehouse job is still buzzing under my skin, but now there’s a knot in my stomach that wasn’t there before. I know what’s waiting for me on the other side of that door, and it sure as hell isn’t a warm welcome.I take a deep breath, trying to shake off the tension, but it’s no use. Emma’s been on edge lately, more than usual, and the fact that I’ve been coming home later and later isn’t helping. She doesn’t know what I’m up to—hell, I don’t even know half the time—but she’s not stupid. She’s suspicious, and suspicion is dangerous.I twist the knob and push the door open, stepping inside with a forced casualness that I don’t feel. The apartment is dark, save for the faint glow of the TV in the living room. The sound of some late-night talk show drones on, but I know Emma’s not really watching it. She’s waiting for me."Jamie?" Her voice

Chapter 6: Into the Underworld (0x06ITU)
The rain’s coming down hard, turning the streets of Seattle into a slick, shining maze of reflections and shadows. It’s the kind of night where decent folks stay inside, locked up tight with their families, away from the dangers that lurk in the dark. But I’m not decent, and tonight, I’m not staying inside.The Rolin system’s been buzzing in the back of my mind since I left the apartment, like an itch I can’t scratch. The mission it’s assigned me this time is different, bigger, and I can feel it in my bones. There’s a heaviness to it, a sense of danger that’s almost palpable.*Mission Objective: Infiltrate the underground auction. Secure the data chip. Target: High-priority. Reward: 800 Essence.*An auction. Black market, no doubt. The kind of place where you can buy anything from stolen tech to human lives, if you know the right people. And tonight, I’m about to walk right into the middle of it.I pull my hood up, shielding my face from the rain as I make my way down an alley that sm

Chapter 7: Oz’s Secret (0x07OS)
The sun’s just starting to rise by the time I make it back to Oz’s studio, the sky a dull gray that matches the gnawing exhaustion in my bones. Lyle’s gone off to lie low, and I’m left with the data chip burning a hole in my pocket and a head full of questions I can’t shake. There’s only one person who might have the answers, and he’s probably the only person I can trust right now—though even that’s debatable.I push open the door to the studio, half-expecting Oz to be passed out in some corner, but instead, I find him standing in front of one of his chaotic canvases, a paintbrush in hand, his wild hair sticking out at all angles like he’s been up all night. He doesn’t look up when I walk in, doesn’t acknowledge me at all, but I know he’s aware of my presence. He always is."You’re back early," he says finally, his voice low and gravelly, like he’s been smoking something stronger than cigarettes."Yeah," I reply, dropping into a chair by the door. "It was a long night."Oz doesn’t say

Chapter 8: The Power Struggle (0x08TPS)
The rain’s been pouring for hours, hammering down on the streets of Seattle like it’s got beef against the city. My hood is pulled low, hiding my face from the worst of it, but there’s no escaping the chill that seeps into my bones. I’ve been on edge since I left Oz’s studio, the weight of the mission pressing down on me like a lead blanket. This one’s different. Bigger. And I can’t shake the feeling that tonight’s going to be a turning point—one way or another.The Rolin system’s been quiet since it gave me the mission, which is almost worse than the constant buzzing. It’s like it’s waiting, watching, seeing how I handle this on my own. But I’m not alone. Not entirely.Lyle’s beside me, his usual cocky grin replaced by a grim determination that tells me he knows how serious this is. He’s been quiet too, only speaking to go over the plan one more time, making sure we’ve got our angles covered. But even the best plans can go to shit in the blink of an eye, and I’ve got a feeling we’re

Chapter 9: Emma’s Betrayal (0x09EB)
The apartment is too quiet. You know that kind of quiet—the kind that isn’t peaceful, isn’t calming. No, this is the kind of quiet that’s got teeth. It’s the kind that makes the hairs on the back of your neck stand up, makes your gut twist, tells you that something’s coming. And not the good kind of something.I close the door behind me, the sound echoing too loud in the stillness. The rain outside is a constant hiss, like the city’s trying to drown out whatever’s about to happen in here. But it can’t. There’s no escaping it.I should’ve seen this coming. Hell, I did see it coming. But knowing something’s about to hit the fan and actually facing it head-on—two very different beasts.Emma’s standing in the living room, arms crossed, her eyes locked on me the second I walk in. She’s got that look on her face, the one that says she’s been waiting for this, stewing in whatever twisted thoughts have been churning in her mind. And me? I’m the poor bastard who just walked into the lion’s den

Chapter 10: A New Threat (0x10ANT)
The rain’s relentless. It’s like the sky’s got a grudge against me, pounding me with everything it’s got, as if trying to wash away the weight that’s settled on my shoulders. But it’s not working. Nothing’s working. The word keeps looping in my head, over and over, until I can’t think straight.Pregnant.Emma’s pregnant. The mother of my child—my child—just betrayed me, just sold me out to God knows who, and now I’m supposed to do… what? Pretend it doesn’t matter? Pretend that I’m not scared out of my mind about what comes next?But there’s no time to think about that. No time to let it sink in. The Rolin system’s buzzing in my head, louder than before, more insistent, as if it knows something I don’t. And maybe it does. Hell, it probably knows everything, and I’m just catching up.I keep walking, aimless, no destination in mind, just moving because if I stop, I’m afraid I’ll fall apart. But the system’s not going to let that happen. It’s got other plans.*New mission: Incoming threat
