As Allen gradually regained consciousness, the world around him seemed hazy and disorienting. The soft glow of his bedroom ceiling lamp greeted him as he blinked his eyes open, struggling to shake off the remnants of sleep. The last thing he remembered was the sensation of falling, a sudden jolt of pain, and then... nothing.With a groan, Allen pushed himself upright, his muscles protesting the movement. His head throbbed mercilessly, a sharp ache pulsating at the base of his skull. It felt as though his brain was trying to break free from its confines, each heartbeat sending waves of agony through his senses.Fighting back waves of nausea, Allen reached up to touch the source of his pain, his fingers trembling as they made contact with his scalp. The moment his hand brushed against the tender skin, a surge of discomfort shot through him, eliciting a sharp intake of breath.His heart pounding in his chest, Allen slowly withdrew his hand, his eyes widening in disbelief as he inspected

—I've been here all along— Ultimate replied. "That's a big lie." Allen retorted. His eyes scanned the room, looking for where Ultimate's voice was coming from because he knew that it was whenever he put on the glasses that he could hear Ultimate but he was surprised to see that the sunglasses were nowhere to be found and he could still hear Ultimate. "I have questions, Ultimate." Allen suddenly let out. —Ask away— Ultimate responded casually. "How can I hear and feel your presence if the sunglasses are nowhere to be found and I haven't activated you by myself?" —I know that's what you were going to ask and I don't plan on answering that—"Why not?" Allen asked as he furrowed his eyebrows. —Because I do not wish to— it answered firmly. "Listen to me, I don't like it when I'm being toyed with."—Do you think I'm toying with you, how then do you explain the credit alert you received this morning?— Ultimate cut-in. Allen's eyes slowly drifted down to the floor, absorbing the weigh

—I'm going to show you something right now that is going to answer all your questions—"Really?" Allen replied as he shot his ear up. —Yes, and it has to be done before you go on to your next mission. Are you ready for it?— Allen hesitated for a moment before he answered. "Yes, I'm ready."—Okay then, close your eyes— Ultimate said and Allen did immediately as he was told. When he finally opened his eyes, he found himself standing in the middle of a vast, empty room. He was wearing a white jumpsuit, and his hair was short and buzzed. In front of him was a floating orb of light, which seemed to pulse with a life of its own."Hello, Allen," the orb said, its voice soft and soothing. "Welcome to the System."Allen's gaze lingered on the orb, its iridescent glow casting a mesmerizing spell that seemed to hold him captive. "The System?" he echoed, his voice tinged with a mixture of curiosity and apprehension. The very mention of such a concept sent a shiver down his spine, conjuring im

—Wake up now, dreamer boy— Ultimate's voice rang through the corners of the room making Allen's eyes flutter awake. "I'm ready, I'm ready." Allen continued to mutter against his breath. —That's enough now Allen, you are back on planet Earth—Immediately Ultimate said those words, Allen rubbed his eyes with both hands and turned to see that was back in his room. "He's gone?" Allen questioned. —Who is?— Ultimate asked. "The orb." Allen stuttered slightly as he spoke. —The orb is a non-entity Allen so it doesn't have a gender— Ultimate corrected. Allen shrugged his shoulders like it didn't concern him. "So what now?" Allen hadn't gotten all the words out yet when his phone beeped. He took the phone out of his pocket checked his notification and saw that he had a message from. He furrowed his brows as he opened the contents and read through. He shot his head up and looked into oblivion before he finally spoke. "My sister was hospitalized, I need to go see her."—You can't go— Ulti

After Allen had transferred the money to the club owner's bank account, he shook hands with him again before he walked slowly out of the building with his hands in his pockets. He put enough distance between himself and the club when he turned back to look at the club, taking in every detail of the building so he could contrast it to how the club would like when it is renovated and worked on. With determination etched on his face, he pressed forward, retracing each step with a sense of purpose. The path back home stretched out before him, winding through familiar streets and past landmarks that had become ingrained in his memory. Despite the temptation of convenience, he opted against hailing a taxi, choosing instead to rely on his own two feet, savoring each moment of the journey. Each familiar sight served as a guidepost, reassuring him that he was on the right track. His heart quickened as a sudden wave of realization washed over him, like a jolt of electricity surging through hi

"I need you to tell me everything, don't hold back anything," Allen said without hesitation when they all took their seats in the living room. "I heard everything in the hospital." Stephanie began but Allen was already confused. "What do you mean by you heard everything?" "Sophie and her stepmother. But then it seemed like they knew that I could hear them so they moved out of the room to continue their conversation." "I still don't understand a word of what you just said. Can you at least try to break it down?""Sophie and her mother are planning something against you!" "Hold up," Allen said, putting up a hand. "What were they even doing in your room in the first place." "They had followed Dad over to the hospital. The hospital where I was transferred belonged to Mr Jay." "Mr Jay, that's Dad's close friend," Allen said. "Yes, he is." Stephanie nodded her head as she concurred. "He had phoned Dad and made him come to the hospital when Mr Jay thought that I was going to die." St

"Are you in here Ultimate?" Allen asked the moment he got inside his house but he couldn't sense Ultimate's presence. He had the feeling that he was being followed but it seemed as if it was him being delusional again. His phone got another notification and when he checked what the notification was about, he saw that the network had been restored to his phone. He opened the text message and read through it. As his eyes glanced through it, different waves of emotions swept through him. His expression went from shock to confusion then finally settling at confusion. —Your account balance ending at xxx78 has been credited with $200,000,000. Your balance is 399,945,056—At this point Allen knew that he was a millionaire and his life had changed for the better already but at what cost?"Ultimate, is this real?" Allen asked as he turned around and asked, hoping it would reply to him this time around but he didn't get any response. "Are you in here Ultimate?" He asked but he got silence in

Seeing that they had almost arrived at their destination, Allen brought out some notes from his wallet and handed them to the cabbie. The man's jaw hung down loosely as he controlled the steering with one hand collected the notes from Allen with the other and counted it to make sure that it was complete. The cabbie adjusted uncomfortably in his seat as he remembered how disrespectfully he had treated Allen thinking that he was a commoner. He swallowed the bile in his throat as he continued to drive. He pulled up to the grand wrought iron gates of Serenity Crest Estate, the engine purring expectantly. The driver peered up at the imposing façade, noting the words "For Serenity Crest Residents Only" emblazoned in gold leaf. He pressed his hand against the intercom, clearing his throat before speaking."I have a fare for Serenity Crest," he announced. "Could you let us in please?"There was a pause, then a response crackled through the speaker. "I'm sorry, sir, but we can't allow just

Allen lay in the large bed, a warm smile plastered across his face. He was feeling very happy after completing the deal with Josh Gregory. Well, even though they had not yet informed the other shareholders that he was partnering with Josh Gregory for three months or so, it still left him feeling very happy. At least the majority of his problem was gone. The only thing left was convincing the others and it would be very easy since he wouldn't be buying any shares from the Gregory company."Never thought it would be as easy as this," Allen said to himself. "It's great when you have friends...eh, I can't call Josh Gregory my friend yet. I don't think he's worthy to be called my friend or something."He let out a long sigh before saying, "This is one of the steps I need to take to vanquish Project Erebus. They've done several bad things and need to be punished, not just defeated."With these words, he sat down before cracking his knuckles, "I've got the Suit of Dominance so I must be more

Josh Gregory who had been using his Clairvoyant ability for some time couldn't help but narrow his eyes after having this feeling of danger. This meant that someone in the building opposite the mansion wanted to harm him or had even thought of harming him.After the episode with the journalist, Josh couldn't afford to be careless. Hence he knew at that moment that something was dangerous there and trusted his intuition.I can't believe someone in that building wants to harm me, Josh thought to himself as he continued to stare at the building. Or is it that assassin from before? The one who tried to kill me but escaped unusually?When he had this thought he couldn't help but rise from the bed which he was sitting on. His eyes were so narrowed that one almost couldn't see them. This was to show how nervous he was at this moment.The building was still normal and nothing out of the ordinary. There was no one standing on the balcony, making it seem empty. If not for the feeling that Josh

James stood in his room with a pair of binoculars, watching the situation at the Gregory Mansion. This was what he had been doing after calling for reinforcement. He had been told to lay low and not attack Josh Gregory during this short period. This was because there was someone suspected to be Allen Scott with him.James had wanted to take actions into his own hands but he thought otherwise. He didn't want to end up on the wrong page of Project Erebus because those who did end up with a fate worse than death. He didn't want to end up the same way because he still had several years ahead of him to enjoy his life. He was only thirty and wasn't ready to endanger his own life unnecessarily by daring to go against his superior."That freak named Allen Scott seems to be expecting me to attack," James said. "But then he doesn't even know who I am as he wasn't there when I attacked. Only Josh would know but then he doesn't know my whereabouts."James removed the pair of binoculars from his e

Stephanie kept on looking at the elevator door as she paced back and forth with an expectant heart. The others had different expressions after seeing her do this continuously for thirty minutes.Mary Jane had a blank expression even though she cared about the way Stephanie felt. This was because she had to maintain the morale of the group as the leader. Even when one of them was feeling down she couldn't bring herself to show the same emotion even if she was feeling the same."He's going to eventually come," Mary Jane said. "I think something came up and he's dealing with it or he has different plans."From her interaction with Allen, she knew he was someone who liked doing things his way. Perhaps he had other motives and the mission gave him the leverage to achieve them. Also, Allen wasn't entirely helpless of course he was faced with very powerful players like the late Agent Jack. He knew how to hide himself very well and not screw things up."How do you know he'll eventually come b

After stating the last problem, everyone fell into a deep silence. Even Josh Gregory who didn't know much about Project Erebus was in deep thought. Just by learning from Allen Scott that Project Erebus was the one responsible for his omen for the past few months, he had a gleam at how grave the matter was.When Miriam brought up the issue of Project Erebus Allen decided not to be rash and listen to her. This was because, at his current level, he wasn't a match for the government facility which was trying to create a system of their own. And that was why he had decided to deal with them through a roundabout method.If Project Erebus were to place their attention because of what he did and found a way to take over Josh Gregory's company, then there was no way he would ever get to his feet. He could rely on the Ultimate system but would be the same as selling himself out to Project Erebus. Hence he needed to listen to Miriam and partner with Josh Gregory."If you partner with Josh Gregor

After some time Josh took out the documents and laid them out on the table for Allen and Miriam to see. These were the documents of the Gregory company, confidential files that couldn't be accessed even by his most trusted secretary."You're serious about selling your shares," Allen turned his head to look at Josh."No, it's nothing," Josh immediately shook his head. "Compared to what I stand to gain in the future, this is a necessary sacrifice."Who told you that you'd be gaining anything in the future? Allen sneered inwardly. Of course, he didn't say it out loud so that Josh wouldn't feel bad.Miriam took the documents and flipped through them silently before saying, "Sir, Mr. Allen needs to check the documents as well."She then turned to look at Allen, "You should have brought a lawyer as well. I'm currently working for Mr. Josh so..."She's still as professional as ever, Allen thought to himself. He then said, "Don't worry about that. I trust you very much and don't think you'd d

After hearing Allen's answer, Miriam took a deep breath as she regained control of her emotions. She then asked, "How do I know you're saying the truth?"Although the man in front of her resembled Allen Scott, she couldn't afford to believe that it was him. Everyone knew that he had suddenly become insane at the height of his power, losing everything that he'd acquired in two years. After then no one had heard from him again. It was as if he had suddenly vanished into the empty void. If not for his sister, Stephanie Scott handling matters then even the last property he had would have been sold off. Of course, she was powerless against the powerful figures who came to acquire all of Allen's properties which included the Allen company."I don't need to prove that I'm Allen Scott," Allen said as he turned to look at Josh, using his eyes to inform him that he should do the talking.Josh immediately understood and took a deep breath before straightening his shirt. He then said with a nod,

After moments of waiting a bodyguard soon came to knock on the door, announcing that Josh's lawyer was already there. This made Allen smile inwardly, almost urging Josh to hurry and ask the lawyer to come in immediately."Please tell her to come to the study," Josh told the bodyguard who nodded as he left immediately.Hold up, why does it seem that you're closer to the lawyer than I think? Allen narrowed his eyes as he scrutinized Josh. But he didn't sense an abnormal expression from the latter. Hence, he stopped looking at the playboy who was also the Super system host.In a couple of minutes, they heard a knock on the door. Without hesitating Josh asked the person outside the come in. Immediately the door clicked open, revealing a young woman in her 20s. She was dressed in a formal suit tailored for women, her expression extremely stern. Her eyes were narrowed as if she was used to scowling a lot.The young woman swept a glance at Josh before opening her mouth, "Good day, Sirs."No

Allen found a chair and sat down, crossing his legs as he placed his hands behind his head. Of course, Josh didn't mind and took his seat behind the desk as he pretended to flip through some documents."You don't have to be very afraid that I'm gonna take over your company," Allen said calmly as he sat upright."Huh?" Josh was shocked. How did he know that I'm afraid that he's gonna take over my company?"Don't act as if I'm a genius for knowing your fears," Allen said with a scoff. He was just short of rolling his eyes as he added, "After I've completed my initial goal of reviving my company, I'll remit your company to you."Josh heaved a sigh of relief after hearing that. He had thought that Allen had coveted his company and was trying to take over it. After hearing about hosts chosen by the Ultimate system for being domineering, Josh felt that this wouldn't be the worst outcome he would face. He had felt that perhaps Allen would even plan on taking over all his properties.Hence, w
