2025-01-07 20:23:27A well dressed gentleman was standing behind the guards. He looked like a very rich fellow, and the guards seemed to respect him as he walked towards them.
"But sir..." "No buts", he interrupted, raising his right hand in the air. Then he bent forward and lent a hand to Adrian. "I heard everything. Let the young man come." As Adrian came to his feet, the man shook his hand. "My name is James Halton, I am Mr Rodriquez's personal assistant. I heard everything you said about Miss Lyana. Are you sure about what you are saying?" Not that he was super sure, but the system had been his informant. So far, everything the system said had been true. He could heal from serious injuries in a matter of seconds. He could locate Lyana without having any prior idea of where she might have been. If the system was right in all of that, then it must be right about her life being in danger. "Yes sir. I am sure about this." "And you think you can save her?" About that, he didn't know what he was needed to do but something told him he needed to see her first. Then the system would tell him what to do. "Well..." They were interrupted by rushed footsteps which came in their direction. "Mr Halton! Mr Halton!! It is the little Miss!! She is having a serious episode!" James Halton turned around in shock. He didn't need to hear anymore before he sped after the female servants who had come to call him. And Adrian followed him instinctively, knowing something was happening to Lyana. He checked the visible screen, she still had about five minutes left to live. He could still save her. As they reached the super large hospital room, Adrian could feel the tension across the room. The seeds of tragedy growing slowly, waiting to unleash. "Please doctor! Save her!!" Matilda cried beside the bed, holding the hands of the dying girl. The doctors were trying everything they could. The female servants stood together at a corner, sobbing. James Halton rushed to the side of Matilda and looked the lead doctor in the eye. "What is going on, Doctor Lewis? The girl is becoming worse." Doctor Lewis shook his head. "I'm sorry, Mr Halton. We have tried everything, and there's nothing more we can do now. Her chances of survival are way below one. We can only hope for some miracle." "Hope for a miracle?" Halton squeezed the doctor's coat in anger, it looked like he was going to attack him. Then his eyes fell on Adrian. "You! You said you could save her. Then come forward and do something!" Every eye turned to Adrian, wondering how this misfit was going to do anything to save the billionaire's daughter when well trained medical personelle had failed to do a thing for her. "This thing?! I thought I instructed those two dimwits to throw him out!" Matilda boiled. It was as though she was disgusted by the very sight of him. "Who is this?" Doctor Lewis questioned. "Someone who hasn't given up on her!" Halton ushered Adrian forward as the doctors protested it. "What are his credentials?" The doctor asked again. He had none. "We cannot allow him to do anything to her." "The doctor is right, James." Matilda seconded. "This thing cannot even keep himself clean, how can he keep Lyana alive?" "She has about 59 seconds left." Adrian faced James Halton, not minding what the others were saying. If he was going to save her, then they couldn't delay it any longer. "Come on. Do your thing." James Halton gave way for him as he stepped beside Lyana who lay unconscious. "No. We cannot allow an outsider to lay hands on our patient. Especially an high ranking patient like Miss Lyana, and especially not this person dressed in rags, wet with blood and water. We cannot allow this..." Lewis found his voice cut off as his head crashed on the wall behind him and his throat burnt at the choke hold of James Halton. "Shut the fuck up, doctor!" Meanwhile, Adrian held Lyana's other hand and awaited his instructions. "System. Now." He whispered in his heart. "Don't fail me now." A shining light grew between his hand and Lyana's, and it grew brighter, fazing everyone in the room. "What is he doing?" "Is this magic?" "You see, James. I told you he was a fraud!" "Someone stop this man..." Then the light receded, and in Adrian's hand was a little oval glass gourd of glowing white liquid. "GIVE THE POTION OF LIFE TO MISS LYANA. YOU HAVE TEN SECONDS LEFT." Instantly, he swiped the glass open and turned it over on her lips. The potion came out in drops. By the third drop, Lyana Rodriguez coughed and her eyes opened to the sight of Adrian. "Did she just... Open her eyes? Is she awake?" A maid whispered. "She is alive." Another responded. "He truly saved her life." Everywhere was as quiet as a grave house as each person stared at another in shock, then at Adrian, then at Lyana who was slowly sitting up by herself. "What happened?" Lyana muttered, seemingly unaware of her sickness. "Why is everyone staring at me?" In a moment, the silence became chaos as the entire room erupted into jubilations. The maid servants all hugged one another in tears while the doctors shook their heads in shame. James Halton and Matilda held Lyana as if she had come back from the dead, suprised at how good she looked. It was as if she was never ill in the first place. "CONGRATULATIONS, MR BLOOD. YOU HAVE COMPLETED YOUR FIRST MISSION. YOU ARE NOW OFFICIALLY GRANTED THE STATUS OF ANCHOR." Adrian's work here was done. He had saved the life of the billionaire girl. He had no more reason to be in that room, especially after the loads of insult he had taken today. With everyone else distracted by their jubilations, Adrian turned around to leave. Just as he reached the doorway where the two security guards stayed, he heard a voice calling him. "Wait up, gentleman!" It was James Halton. He must want to thank him personally for what he had just done. "You have done an incredible service to this family. I am certain the chairman would want to meet you himself. You can ask him for anything you want. Anything at all." Adrian was not going to do any such thing. He was not the biggest fan of the Rodriguez family. They had always stepped on the lower families to glorify themselves with their riches. He was not ready to sit on the same table with Federico Rodriguez or any member of that family. Also anytime he remembered what happened tonight with Ricardo and Teresa, his anger doubled. "No, thank you." He declined. "I don't need any reward." Adrian turned around, leaving James Halton with a shocked expression. "I still do not know your name." He requested. "Adrian Blood." A cab stopped in front of Adrian. How convenient to find them when a life was not on the line. As he returned back home for the rest of the night, his phone, almost completely destroyed by the traumas of tonight, vibrated continuously. "CONGRATULATIONS. YOU HAVE BEEN REWARDED WITH ONE MILLION DOLLARS AND TEN CHARACTER POINTS AFTER COMPLETING TODAY'S MISSION!"

Ricardo Rodriguez was spending the rest of the night with his new girlfriend, celebrating his amazing past few months when his phone rang up."Why are you disturbing me?" He knew it was his friend, Doctor Lewis, but this was not the best time to call him. He was in the middle of such nice time, Teresa's titties bouncing on his lips. Now this nerd had come to ruin it."We have a problem." Lewis said through the phone."This problem so big it can't wait till tomorrow?" Ricardo moaned as Teresa began to blow him slowly."It is your sister." Lewis seemed to be whispering over the phone."What? She finally died?" Ricardo urged Teresa to go faster as he closed his eyes in pleasure."No. She actually recovered."Ricardo's two eyes shot open in shock. "What did you say?""Lyana recovered. And now she's awake."With a violent push, Ricardo threw Teresa against the bed. Then he put on a robe and paced around the room in annoyance."How did this happen, Lewis? You had just one job!""It was all

The university was not the best place to be today. From the very first minute that Adrian laid foot into the environment, the toxicity of the atmosphere stiffened his breathe tight. Every person who saw him would giggle or frown or shake their heads before deeping their faces back into their phone screens. It didn't take long to realize something was going on."What is going on?" He wondered. "Is this because of what happened last night?"Of course the entire school was present when Ricardo had his boys ship him out like unwanted cargo many hours ago. Everyone who witnessed it was eager to make fun of him, like Mrs Huddersfield and Billy. But there was more with the way they all looked at him. Like some criminal who had committed a grievous crime. There must be something more going on around here."Hey system", he whispered. "Can you help me out here?""Absolutely!" The system voice chimed in his head.

"What are you doing here?"Adrian couldn't believe this. Teresa was right there all along and the school authority allowed her to listen in on their conversation? She was just a student like every other person, why allow her such admonition?"Well, Miss Williams is the victim in this case. She surely deserves the liberty of presence through the entire hearing."More like Ricardo had paid his way through to allow her interfere in this interrogation. That way they could make sure Adrian lost completely. Why else was she all dolled up like a wedding bride?"This monster tried to rape me. He should be in a prison somewhere now, I can't even bear to look at him. He is terrifying." She pointed her fingers at him while keeping a safe distance, as though he was some vicious threat she shouldn't be anywhere around."What are you talking about? I even bought you a present for Valentine, why would I try to force myself on you?""Because I rejected you."Adrian was silent for a while. She did rej

Adrian walked out of the School Board of Judges' presence with his pride restored. Although he was unable to prove the terrible allegations as vile and false, he was able to give them something to think about. He enjoyed watching their faces go blue, especially Donald McMahon, he nearly lost his balance in shock. Teresa looked as if she had seen a ghost, she could not speak another word till Adrian walked out in all calmness. Their eyes followed him all the way out and he could still feel their stares on his back as he left the premises for a closure to the day."Hey!!"He heard rushed footsteps calling behind him.Turning around, Adrian was not suprised to see his ex girlfriend. Teresa stopped right in front of him, running out of breathe."What did you do back there?" She managed to find her lungs again."What? I just paid my bills like a man should. Is there anything I can do to help you?"Her eyes darkened in annoyance. It was as if he struck her ego unknowingly. Her brows curled

Adrian's head banged loud at the urgency of the situation. He had to save Ricardo's sister again? He already saved her life last night? Why was her life already in danger again? Now he had to abandon the search for his father?"It is your choice, Adrian. Do you want to continue with the filler mission, or you would like to take on this one instead? You have four minutes left."He really wanted to find out about his father, but the thought of Lyana dying after what he went through last night to save her was not good. He needed to save her again. Afterall he could come back and do this later."Wh... Where is she? At the hospital?"The map appeared. "No, Adrian. She appears to be in a vehicle on her way home from the hospital. For some reason, she was discharged today under untold circumstances."Adrian checked the map. Lyana's vehicle was driving across the Stephanie Lane Bridge Pass. That was way on the other side of town, there was no way he could get there in four minutes."But I ca

"Luck?" James Halton smirked. "You see, Mr Blood. Here's one thing about me: I don't believe in luck. You came by the hospital the other day too and you knew exactly what was going to happen to Miss Lyana and just how to prevent it. That is not luck. It is something else. Is there something you don't want to reveal to us?"It looked like he was getting suspicions now. Adrian couldn't stand there for any more minute."Mr Blood has gone through so much today trying to save me." Lyana interrupted. "Surely you can discuss this later, James.""Oh I'm sorry, Miss Lyana." He extended his handshake. "We will talk later, Mr Blood. I have to tidy things up here."As he walked away, Lyana apologized for James Halton's crudeness."Mr Halton has been assigned to protect me since when I was a little girl, it is only natural for him to be a little over defensive.""No problem." Adrian responded, ready to leave."Wait," she held him back. "My father is hosting a grand dinner tonight in celebration of

Adrian walked into the store with a confidence that touched the skies. He approached the store handler who kept her gaze away at once, wearing an expression of disgust."What do you want?" She sighed when she realised Adrian had stopped in front of her. Adrian recognized her too. She was the one who sold the gift box to her on valentine's day. When he had come to purchase a very cheap gift for his girlfriend in this massively elegant store and everyone scorned him, she was the only one who was warm to him. How come she was so cold now?"There is nothing for you to buy here. We don't sell your cheap items anymore." She cursed sharply, eyeing him from head to toe."I am not here to buy cheap items." Adrian responded in kind. He was no longer unsure of himself like he used to be. He was now going to be the wealthiest man in the world no matter the circumstances, a simple store handler was nothing to push him around."I want the most expensive collection of outfits you have ever held in t

Helena had never seen the beauties of the city upclose like she did today. She didn't think that Jacob had seen it too, but he did not look as astounded as she thought he would. The sky was different, the trees too, even the air. She had always read about trains and planes and luxurious cars, today she had seen almost all of that. She was even travelling in a subway train now, it was the most exciting ride she had ever had. The tunnels were a work of magic and the thrill of journey was something she could not contain.What made it even more perfect was that Jacob was with her. It was exactly as she dreamt. To explore golden adventures with her boyfriend by her side. Just like a perfect love story.She looked into his eyes, he was smiling but she knew the smile was not true. She could see it. She could see beyond the facade. This was all Adrian's fault. He had attacked Jacob brutally that time and tried to kill him. And for what? They were just making out. That was not their first time

Adrian checked the rewards tab one more time but there was nothing for him. Did this mean he wasn't able to save his sister? Or the system just deemed it unnecessary to reward for the filler mission? Whatever it was, he tried not to think about it.The car stopped in front of the beautiful mansion. Adrian observed the house in awe. It was magnificent and it only belonged to his new secretary. It was crazy how money was so sufficient to some people. Some people could be so rich that even a secretary would live like a queen while some so poor even a meal was not likely. He wondered how much each member of the inner circle must actually possess compare to the modest lie they put out on their net worths.Mrs Wallers was standing outside, anticipating eagerly. "Welcome Mr CEO..." A stare from Adrian and she remembered her mistake. "Sorry, welcome Mr Blood."Nobody must find out Adrian's true capacity. This was important for him to achieve his plans.

Adrian kept a good eye on Jacob and Helena. If the system was being true, then the boy had some dark mission he cane to perpetrate with his sister. Why else did he show up here all of a sudden? But Helena found out what he was doing and she did not like it."Leave us alone," she said. "I am not a child and you are not my parent. I don't want to see you right now."Once Jacob stopped at a kiosk to buy a pair of ice-cream. Adrian thought it must be poison. That must be his plan to take out his sister. He asked the boy to drink from Helena's cup, he did without question."See. I told you to leave us alone!" The girl stamped away, covered in anger. The boy ran after her. Yet Adrian was not convinced."You should stop worrying for no reason." Uncle George stood beside him. "If she is going to get over her mother's death, then she should be allowed a little freedom. Jacob is a good boy who knows how to make her smilr. Leave them alone for now."Adrian still had his doubts, afterall he was

The last drop of sand landed with a silent thud, leaving her soul to travel in peace. Adrian stood before the gravestone, his tears by his side.

The silent cries behind him.Uncle George held Helena as the girl sobbed continuously. Adrian had decided to hide Miranda's death from her, he knew she would be so broken. But George had convinced him otherwise. He said that there were no secrets in blood. If his sister hadn't kept so much secrets from him, maybe she would still be alive now, he said.Helena broke loose and stormed forward again, falling on her knees in front of her mother's dust.

In the centre of the city, the day shone its brightest. The cars flashed and the people strolled, leaving it as peaceful as it could be. A giant restaurant stood in the middle of it all and an expensive vehicle stopped right next to it.Dressed in all black, a pair of glass shades on his eyes, Ricardo made his way into the restaurant. A search over here and there, he finally found what he was looking for. Whom he was looking for. She sat at the far side of the room, half clothed and half exposed, her bare skin glowing and her face in glitters, a hot cup of coffee in front of her. That was just the Amanda Wallers he remembered. The savage, sharp, proud and extremely wild Amanda Wallers, his ex girlfriend."Long time no see, Amanda." He walked up to her, bearing a old grunt as he passed. On a normal day, Amanda was leagues below his level. Yes she was hot and all, but she just was not his type.

Officer Micheal was distracted with his own portion of the fight, so he did not see the impossible feats Adrian was completing.The tracker in the system was now working again, glowing in lights of red to announce Miranda Lambert's location. Adrian knew his foster mother was just paces away. A little more of this and a little more of that, he would soon find her.As he navigated his way forward, the inside of the house was dark and there was no telling who could be lurking in the shadows."Help!" A voice rang through the stairways. It was not any random voice, it was the voice that had been his comfort as a child."I'm coming;" He called back without much thought, racing up the stairs."YOU HAVE ONE MINUTE LEFT." The system added more pressure to the business.Up the stairs, he hurried. H

Darkness loomed ahead. The day was pretty much in its early stages, but the road ahead announced night to the approaching visitors. That was how ghost village had always been. Shrouded in darkness by some crazy intervention of the planetary constellations, it was never day in that place. It was the seat of the most dangerous crimes and the most dangerous criminals. It was also the place the elites of this city chose to alienate and isolate those people who have stood against them, to torture them and eliminate them."We are within borderline of the ghost village. Is there a particular destination for us?" The head officer asked. Unlike the rest of the officers, he was seated in Adrian's car right beside him. He looked quite concerned too. The ghost village was a no go place for the police. Only the hired hands of the inner circle had the freedom to roam these parts. Although this head officer had once before tried to investigate the ghost village, the entire police force stood against

As soon as Adrian Blood walked into the middle of the street, his golden coloured car wheeled into the scene.

Now that Adrian had signed the company contract forms, he was now officially the new CEO of Waters Corporation."Nice." Adrian jumped into the vehicle, his blood travelled in a rush. His mind dwarted through space and time. Now that he knew where she was, he needed to save his foster mother. "How many more minutes do I have?"The timer blinked before his very eyes. One hour and thirty minutes. The clock had counted down fast, but that was enough time. That was just as much time as he needed."If you complete today's mission, then you will be able to level up. At the next level, a special power will be bestowed to you. A power beyond imagination".Adrian grew in anticipation. He knew that he needed all the power the system had to offer for him to aven

"Many years ago, Miranda and I were best of friends. We were just ordinary workers of this corporation until your mother selected us herself, recognizing our potential and our loyalty. I was promoted to a higher position and Miranda was invited to work in your parent's home. She was in charge of all the workers. Your father was the kindest man in the world but kindness is not enough to keep a woman..."Adrian had been in a hurry. He wanted so badly to jump into the street and reach the ghost village to save Miranda, but for the first time in his life, somebody was telling him about his parents. All his days, he had always had questions but he had never gotten complete answers. Now that Wallers was saying something, he could not stop himself from listening."My mother... My real mother. What happened to her?" Adrian did not believe the story his uncle told. He did not accept that any mother would abandon their child for no undefeatable purpose. He wanted to believe that she had no choi
