5G SYSTEM ONLINE: Rise of Stephen king Chapter 80- Drowned
Back in the city, Enoch trudged into his apartment, beat after a long, tiring day at the Empire. The night sky hung over him like an inky blanket starred with little lights that had no cheering effect on him. He flung his briefcase onto the sofa and beelined for the small bar in the corner of his living room.He poured himself a generous whiskey glass and breathed deep as the amber liquid swirled around inside. "Heaven today was hell," he muttered to himself. Financial loss reports and machinery breakdowns had dominated his day. If only he could predict the market better, he thought, then maybe things wouldn't be quite so bleak.Enoch collapsed onto the sofa, wincing when the leather groaned under him. He took a long drag off his drink, wincing a little as it burned on the way down. He picked up his remote and turned on the TV, hoping for some sort of distraction from the headaches of the day.The anchorman's voice bounced sharply around the room. "Breaking news: A luxury yacht has be
5G SYSTEM ONLINE: Rise of Stephen king Chapter 81- Memory loss
Stephen's eyes flickered to a brilliant white light, with just the steady beep punctuating the silence. He lay still, feeling the dull ache of pain mixed with the warmth of a soft hospital bed. His head turned upward slowly as his mind worked furiously to piece together fragmented memories of a sinking yacht and the water's cold embrace.It was a small, sterilized room with white walls and only one window. He distinguished two security guards at their posts through the frosted glass door, shadowy silhouettes to ensure that no man went in or out of the room. Stephen's heart began to race. The last moments still fresh in his mind: Yuna clinging onto him, the frenzy of the water, and then that "Mission Successful" message that had flashed before his eyes as he sank into unconsciousness."What… what happened?" he muttered, reaching to sit up; his muscles were stiff and weak. He swung his legs over the side of the bed, the cold floor against his feet. Panic surged in through him when his g

Marianne's car drew in front of the luxury hotel, and Stephen just stared blankly out at the front doors. It was as if it were a place he had never seen before—foreign to him. Marianne turned toward him with a glance and a weak smile. "Come on, let's go inside," she whispered, pushing him toward the doors.No sooner had they entered the spacious and luxurious lobby than a group of hotel employees, including the manager, were lining up with their gifts in hand. As they neared, he beamed at them. "Welcome back, Mr. King," he said warmly.Stephen turned his eyes to the manager. Furrows deepened on his brow as he tried to think who this man was. A look of confusion swam over his eyes, and the manager's smiling face fell. "I—I'm sorry if I did something wrong," he stammered.Marianne stepped in, smooth as silk. "Stephen isn't feeling well," she said. "We appreciate your concern, but he really does need to rest."She sidestepped the staff and took Stephen's arm lightly, leading him across t

She drove back to the penthouse; a sense of relief washed over her as she finally felt in control of events, securing her family's safety and peace. As she parked the car, the city's lights glittered like scattered diamonds, contrasting strongly with the dark thoughts whirling in her mind.She took the elevator to the last floor: the penthouse. Softly chiming, the doors slid open, and she stepped out into the corridor, squaring her shoulders and smoothing her expression. She pushed open the door on Stephen and Ariane, who were sitting on the couch and could not have looked more content. Stephen was reading from some storybook, and Ariane had her head on his shoulder with her eyes shining in a gleam of happiness.A pang of guilt stabbed through Marianne, but she quashed it. This was necessary.Her mother, standing a ways to the side, turned to watch her enter. Her eyes swept the room, seeking. "Where's Yuna?" she asked. Her voice edged with unease."I've gotten rid of her," Marianne re
5G SYSTEM ONLINE: Rise of Stephen king chapter 84- Meeting at the park
Stephen lay in bed, his mind swirled with confusion and unease. On getting to sleep, he found himself in a dream. He had visions of being on a yacht, the deck slick with water. He was on a yacht with a little girl, and the girl was very important to him. He couldn't see her face clearly. A storm raged around him, waves lashing, and he clung desperately to the little child. The yacht tilted violently, and waves crashed over them."Wait!" Stephen yelled, but his voice was lost against the roaring waves. The girl slipped out of his hold, and he was after her, using his own body to shield this thin, weak girl from all the attacking waves. He crashed to the yacht's wall and into the club-like head—the vision blurred now—and he was bestowed with a message: "Mission Successful.".Stephen sprang up with a start, pouring in sweat. He sat up, taking a big breath, trying to shake off the vivid dream still playing in his mind. He looked at the time: 7:05 AM. His house was still; the rest were asl
5G SYSTEM ONLINE: Rise of Stephen king Chapter 85- Getting rid of Stephen's only chance
When the rollercoaster finally reached its highest point, Ariane's joyous scream cut through the loudest colors of the theme park. Her giggles were now turned with the wind, as the ride descended; small hands clasped onto cotton candy like one would a precious treasure. It spun, a whirl of pink against her smiling face. Stephen stood a few feet away, looking at her with a small smile, all the uneasiness he was feeling earlier long gone with his daughter's pure delight.She had just bought soft drinks, and as Marianne was on her way back, she saw Yuna standing at the edge of the park. Her heart skipped. "What on earth is she doing here?" Marianne muttered under her breath, mouth now agape with a mixture of surprise and concern. She had thought Yuna had left, and the last thing she wanted was for Yuna to run into Stephen, or worse still, for Stephen to run into Yuna.Marianne hurried back, trying to keep out of sight as much as possible, moving to where Stephen was. She looked back over
5G SYSTEM ONLINE: Rise of Stephen king Chapter 86- Finding out about the system
Victor perched on the edge of his cot, the thin mattress creaking under his weight. He was supposed to be getting some light reading in—his book was two years old by now, but still hadn't been read—but his eyes kept flicking back to the television screen every few minutes, incapable of fully disregarding the background noise. There was a story running about some new park that had just opened, and Victor's heart skipped a beat as Stephen's face flashed onto the screen.Victor's grip on the book tightened, his knuckles white. "How is he alive?" he muttered under his breath. Clarke had assured him that Stephen was taken care of. Thoughts began racing in his mind, colliding in a frenzy of disbelief and anger. He dropped the book—its pages splayed open as it hit the floor—and moved closer to the TV, eyes narrowing at the sight of Stephen's smiling face.Across town, in a vast penthouse suite, Stephen was rummaging through the wardrobe, his frustration growing. Marianne had gone out to take
5G SYSTEM ONLINE: Rise of Stephen king Chapter 87- A size of the puzzle
Stephen's heart began to race. It hadn't been some dream or just a flick at the back of his imagination. This was real, connected with something from his past. He must be able to remember it. There was his profile displayed before him on the screen: **Name: Stephen King Level: Penicia OneSkills: Persuasion, Prediction Points: 25**.His eyes fell on the 'Rewards' icon. It seemed to pulse, urging him to tap on it. He did so after a moment's hesitation. A new window opened, showing his current skill points and the option to unlock a new skill. "Persuasion skills?" Stephen thought. If he could use these to get answers from Marianne, it might be worth the risk.Just as he was about to select the new skill, the screen vanished into thin air, leaving Stephen staring through the now-normal room. He felt a strange mix of excitement and apprehension. He had to play this carefully. Gathering his thoughts, he decided it was time to head back to the hotel and confront Marianne.Meanwhile, Enoc

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. "Sorry to have kept you waiting," Enoch said, reaching for the chair opposite of Stephen. Stephen did not sa

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

Chapter 185
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
