5G SYSTEM ONLINE: Rise of Stephen king Chapter 123- Ruined Date
Victor and Charles stared at each other a moment longer, the air heavy with menace. With his eyes narrowing, Charles wheeled closer, darting from Victor unto the cell phone held in his hand. He noticed Victor stood rigidly and the slight facial twitch.Charles reached out and calmly took the phone from Victor's hand, never breaking eye contact. He glanced down at the screen to see it was a message from Clarke, attached to which was a picture of a battered Stephen."See anything?" Charles asked, his voice low and casual, deceptively so.Victor hesitated, then slowly stood up, slipping his hands into his pockets to mask any anxiety. "I didn’t see anything important," he lied smoothly. "Just needed some air. I’ll be back later."Charles nodded, his suspicion never quite leaving his eyes. "Al歲ght," he said, watching Victor closely as he walked out of the room.The moment Victor was out of the room, Charles had his face on the phone again; thoughts ran riot in his head.

Back to the dining room, Enoch was getting more and more uneasy. "What is taking Marriane so long?" he thought and said to himself, looking across at Ariane, who was looking as uninterested as before.Suddenly Ariane spoke. "I heard my mom used to date your younger brother." Her voice showed no apparent interest, while her eyes did tell a different story altogether.Enoch stiffened in surprise. He reached hastily for his goblet of wine, draining a small amount into his mouth for time. This child knew too much already, and directness in her questions unsettled him."Well." Enoch fumbled for words, until Ariane cut him short."Are you trying to avoid saying anything about it?" her voice issued sharply.Enoch forced a smile, his gut starting to feel the edge of the knife inside. This kid was unstoppable. "I think I've had enough wine," he said, putting the glass down. "Where's the toilet?"Ariane pointed down the hall, her face unreadable. Enoch nodded, getting up a little too quickly, u

Stephen's body ached, chains eating into his wrists as he just basically swung in mid-air, helpless. It was all the more worse with the chill of cold, damp air from the underground chamber, sending chills down to his bones. He looked up weakly; his vision was blurred, but he could make out the silhouette of Clarke in the poor light. Clarke was sharpening a knife; the scratching sound of metal against stone echoed in the room."Do you know why they didn't just make him a prison warden?" Clarke asked, the tone low, sinister. He continued sharpening the blade while speaking. Stephen said nothing. He was too weak and too weary. He knew that Clarke wasn't really expecting an answer.Clarke paused, eyeing the edge of the knife before continuing. "He had everything, Stephen. Money, power. But he gave it all to Charles, who the world sees as some bigshot billionaire. And what did he choose for himself? This." Clarke gestured around the dank, dark space. "A warden, someone who oversees the scu

Victor lay under his old, beat-up car and tightened the oil pan screws. The air was thick with grease and gasoline; the garage was only half-lit, which stretched the shadows across its walls. He wiped off his brow with his hand's back and grunted as he reached for the next tool.Before he could get to it, a hand reached it over to him. Victor slid out from under the car in surprise to see Charles seated in his wheelchair and holding the wrench. "You're back," Victor stated neutrally as he accepted the tool.Charles nodded and watched as Victor slipped under the vehicle to continue with his work. Through the silence, metal scraped against metal before Charles wheeled himself closer."I know you know about Stephen," Charles said, his voice low.Victor hesitated for a fraction of a second, then went back to tightening the bolt. "Is that so?"Charles' eyes narrowed. "Don't try to fool me. I'm not an idiot.Victor rolled out from under the car again, this time with his hands smeared with

Marriane sat in her car, drumming her fingers impatiently on the steering wheel. Afternoon sun filtered through the windshield, casting a warm glow over the dashboard. Other kids were spilling out of the school; their laughter echoed across the parking lot, but there was no sign of Ariane. Marriane checked the time again, a flicker of irritation crossing her face. *Why is she late?*She let out a deep breath and finally decided to step out of the car. The heat hit her as she walked briskly towards the school building, the sound of her heels clicking against the pavement. She pushed open the door to Ariane's classroom, and immediately it was empty-the rows of desks neatly in a row, the class teacher tidying up, stacking books into a neat pile."Good afternoon, Mrs. Marriane," the teacher greeted, adjusting herself to greet her."I'm here to pick up Ariane. Where is she?" Marriane asked sharply.The teacher looked embarrassed as her eyes dropped to Ariane's desk now empty. "Actually, so

The sun was setting over the beach, casting an orange glow over the shore as the waves lapped gently at it. Enoch stood alone, staring at the ocean, but his mind wasn't on the present. Instead, he saw the ghosts of his past: two young boys running and laughing while their father chased them. He remembered the memory well enough that it put a small, soft smile on his lips-a rare situation when compared with his otherwise hardened demeanor."It's been a long time since I've seen you smile," a voice cut into his thoughts.Enoch turned to see the figure of Victor approaching. He hadn't changed much, and being here was a harsh reminder of the life that they'd both abandoned. "I thought I'd find you here," he said, coming to a stop a few feet away.Enoch said nothing, and his eyes drifted back to the horizon. He wasn't in the mood to talk to anybody, let alone Victor.But Victor, undeterred by Enoch's coldness, pressed on. "Did you know Father regretted banishing you?"A bitter scoff escape
5G SYSTEM ONLINE: Rise of Stephen king Chapter 129- System online
Stephen sat in this cold, poorly lit room. His heart was racing while he tried once more to bring the system into action. He concentrated, closing his eyes, and focused on the familiar command that usually sprang the system to life. But nothing happened. There was no response, no flicker of the interface, no comforting voice guiding him through. Only silence, broken by the constant tapping of rain against the small window high above.Frustration gnawed at him. What was blocking the system? It was there, just out of reach, yet something-or someone-was blocking it from activating. He clenched his fists, trying to push past the barrier in his mind, but it was like hitting a brick wall.It was the sound of footsteps that pulled Stephen from his musings. He looked up to see Clarke entering the room. Looking dark, Clarke muttered under his breath, seeming irritated. He wiped the rain off his face, wet from the rain outside.Getting soft, Clarke muttered under his breath. He gave a quick sha

Victor's eyes narrowed as he stared hard at the camera feed of the empty bed. Something was wrong, and it wasn't sitting right in his stomach. He knew that Charles had to be there, but all he could see was the wheelchair. Where was Charles?No time was being wasted as Victor sprang into an immediate upright stance, his movements curt and concise. He had to see this for himself. The hallway was quiet as he walked toward Charles's room; with every step, a burgeoning tension in his chest mounted.He came to the door, halted a moment, and listened for some noise inside. Nothing. Then he slowly opened the door, peering inside the dark room. It was precisely as the camera had depicted it—empty. The bed wasn't disturbed, the wheelchair in its normal position, but of Charles there was no sign.Victor's instincts took over. Something was not right, and he needed to find out what was happening. He started searching the room, first from the bed. He ran his hands under the mattress, checked the p

Chapter 192
Stephen sat in the corner of a dimly lit café, staring out the window. He had sat there for hours, sipping cold coffee and watching the rain trickle down the glass. The café wasn't crowded-just a few people scattered about, lost in their conversations. His foot tapped impatiently under the table. Enoch was late. Very late. The waiter had been by twice, offering Stephen polite smiles, asking if he needed anything else. Each time, he waved him off, too intent on what was to come. His mind was reeling, questions, doubts, and a growing sense of frustration building inside him. Enoch was never this late. The doorbell above the entrance jingled, and Stephen looked up. His heart stopped at the sight of Enoch stepping inside, shaking rain from his coat. He glanced briefly around the room before his eyes fell upon Stephen, and he hastened to him, an apologetic smile on his face.

chapter 188
Stephen stood by the door, watching as Victor’s car grew smaller in the distance. The rumble of the engine slowly faded, leaving nothing but the usual quiet that hung around the small neighborhood. He let out a breath, resting his hand on the doorframe. The last two months had been tough—tougher than he ever imagined.Without the system—the network of contacts and favors that once made his life easy—Stephen had to figure out a way to survive on his own. And it wasn’t glamorous. Every day was a grind, a constant scramble for enough money to cover the basics. Work wasn’t easy to come by, not when you’d burned as many bridges as he had. But he’d managed to find some odd jobs here and there—just enough to scrape by, though never enough to truly get ahead.He closed the door softly, the sound echoing through the small room. Glancing around the cramped space, he couldn’t help but think of the penthouse he once called home. The stark difference between his old life and this one weighed on hi

Stephen stood in the door and watched as Victor's car dwindled to a dot on the horizon. The rumble of the motor died out, leaving only the silent night air hovering over the little neighborhood. He exhaled a breath, his hand falling to rest on the doorframe. The last two months had been rough-tougher than he ever imagined.No system to fall back on now-the network of contacts and favors that oiled his life-Stephen was forced to scrounge some means of survival for himself. Not quite glamorous, the daily fight, the eternal hustle just for the real basics. Jobs were not easy to find, not when one had burned bridges as he had. But he'd been able to find odd jobs here and there, enough just to scrape by, never enough to get any further ahead.He closed the door behind him with a quiet click. The softness echoed inside the tiny room. Glancing around at the cramped quarters, his mind strayed to the penthouse he once called home. The stark dissimilarities between where his life used to be and

Chapter 186
Two months later, Victor stared at the address on his phone, then at the small, run-down building in front of him. It didn’t look like a place Stephen would be living. The paint was peeling off the walls, and the grass in front was overgrown. This was far from the sleek, modern apartment Stephen used to own.Victor killed the engine, stepped out of his car, and walked toward the house. It was a self-contained unit—cheap, cramped, and barely enough for one person. He checked the address again. Room number 9. It matched. Still, he couldn’t shake the feeling that something was off.When he reached room 9, he knocked hard. The wood felt thin under his knuckles, like the door could break if he wasn’t careful. He knocked again, louder this time.After a moment, the door creaked open. Victor’s eyebrows shot up. Standing in front of him was Stephen, but he was almost unrecognizable. His hair was longer, his face covered with a scruffy beard, and he’d gained weight—his old sharp features now s

Standing beside Ariane's bed, his mind was spinning as he stared down at the screen of the system on his phone. His fingers trembling, he hit the icon for healing skills. He muttered under his breath, "Why can't this work on her? Why can't I save her?The system kept mum-no explanation, no solution. The shallow breathing of his daughter echoed in the room; every weak breath made him helpless. Stephen swallowed hard as his throat went dry. He could fix deals, he could manipulate numbers, but here in this hospital room, he was powerless.The door creaked open, and Stephen turned to see Enoch step in. Gone was Enoch's usual smug expression, replaced with a concerned frown. "What are you doing here?" Stephen's voice was low, edged with suspicion.Enoch shrugged, glancing over at Ariane. "Heard she was sick, so I decided to come by. How's she doing?"Stephen stared at him for a long moment, unsure of how to reply. His mind flashed back to his earlier doubts. Ariane wasn't his daughter, at

Chapter 184
Stephen sat cross-legged on a soft mat, his eyes closed to focus on the calm voice of the guru. The air around him was scented with burning incense; a low hum of chanting echoed softly from the walls. He had called in the guru in a last-ditch effort to clear his mind, escape the relentless pull of the system. It had started to devour him, bit by bit, till it was all he could think of, all he could perceive.He was losing his grip, and he knew it.The guru's voice came, calm: "Breathe in. breathe out. let your thoughts flow like water. Do not cling to them."Stephen sucked in an enormous breath, then let it slowly out again, as if to expel everything at the same time: the market crash, the system, the deals that went right past him. The tension between him and Enoch was endless. He'd gotten pulled into something so much bigger than he was that he couldn't possibly control it himself, and however hard Stephen fought his way free of it, he felt ensnared.Then, though, as his breathing st
