Duel of systems New mission
I woke up next to Lucia, the glow of dawn caressing her face. Her eyes were slightly tired, a silent testament to the long and intense night we had both shared. Although I wanted to stay by her side, the obligations of my role as a user required me to do my last mission of the month and I had attained enough power that I didn't have to hide.I gave him a soft kiss on the forehead and stood up, feeling a mixture of excitement and anxiety as I headed to the bathroom to get ready and leave. But just as I thought I was about to leave, the system sent me an unexpected message.I got nervous and headed for the living room, donning the first piece of clothing I found on my way. When I arrived, I was met with an unpleasant surprise: Alexis was there, holding a gun in her hand. Indignation took hold of me at the sight of her attempt at intimidation.Keeping my composure, I walked toward the seats and asked him sternly."What are you doing here?"He looked at me with a sinister smile and replie
Duel of systems Uncertainty
Night was slowly descending on the city as I began my journey, leaving Lucia worried and full of expectations. My goal was to ascend to the coveted group of the top ten users in the system. Just the mere thought of the level I could reach made butterflies flutter in my stomach. However, there was one last hurdle I had to overcome Harold, I only knew two of his tactics.I decided to equip myself only with small arms to eliminate this madman and concentrate on what would come next. My mission would take place in Washington, D.C., in a stadium infested with dark secrets. Eliminating the owner of that place was not a complicated task in itself, the real problem lay in the other users who would also be heading there to fulfill their mission, among them Harold. She had no idea how to find him.It had been a long time since I last saw Harold, and just the thought of meeting him again sent chills down my spine. I tried to calm myself down and started planning everything in my hotel room. I kn
Duel of systems Preparation
Neither of us had any weapons to do anything at that moment. I could only look at him with caution and tried to get out of there. I didn't know the skills and level of that guy, although I had a feeling that he could be among the top 100. I just went to get my luggage to get out of here as fast as possible.The airport was quite crowded at that hour and I felt insecure. The mission I had chosen to go for Harold was complicated, I had to eliminate a politician. In this case my target was that psychopath, so I would finish him this mission. However, I did not feel good in this place. Suddenly I felt that there was a lot of movement and someone fell to the ground. I didn't have the slightest concern about going to see that guy. I knew that maybe it was another user and someone had poisoned him. Anything went as long as we were in this city doing this mission.Seeing that I walked faster for my luggage, I knew that the poisons could kill me like anyone else and the salamander healing ab
Duel of systems Mission accomplished
I prepared myself to start following the politician. The atmosphere was becoming tense and dangerous, as I knew that in this highly guarded place, many users would be on the lookout for their target. My target, however, was clear and determined: Harold.From my privileged position in a building near the Capitol, I had a panoramic view of the avenue and the windows of the other buildings. My gaze was focused, scanning the crowd for any sign of Harold's presence. But among the jumble of people, I couldn't make him out. Each face seemed to be just an ordinary user, and I wasn't willing to waste my time eliminating others; my only target was Harold.Suddenly, my eyes fell on a shocking scene. A user was being dragged away by someone unknown, and I knew that had to be Harold. My heart began to race as I pointed my rifle at the window from where I saw the strange movement. I waited anxiously, hoping for some sign, but nothing happened. The tension was mounting, and in my mind I felt the wei
Duel of systems First
I was a simple salesman in a call center. I offered products of a communication company. Every day, I called more than thirty people to offer them different promotions and items at low prices. It was very difficult to work there. People were very rude and said dozens of rude things to me, it was easier for them to hang up on me or tell me a simple no and that was it. Sometimes I had to hang up on them when they were getting through. I was a pretty nice guy, and thanks to that I was the best salesman, in the first few months some of my colleagues made my life miserable. They would steal my client sheets, or sometimes they would turn off my computer. I got used to that lifestyle. My wife was out of work, and she earned twice as much as I did. We had been married for almost two years. We had no children yet. I took on all the household expenses, I still had to wait a little while to leave this company or wait to be moved to the less stressful customer service area.In the short time I
Duel of systems Second
From one moment to the next, I appeared in a white room with a strange ringing in my ear. I got up from the floor and a strange announcement appeared.

Duel of systems Third
The user forced me into the bathroom, with his razor he made me feel inferior. He didn’t hesitate to say all sorts of things to me. “You are a vermin. It’s unbelievable that you’re still alive. You’re the last one in the ranking. I didn’t kill you because you’re worthless. You’re more useless than an NPC.” It was very offensive what he said to me. I had been a system user for hours, I still hadn’t done, or tried anything, because it was, I had the week off. It had just been coincidence that the target appeared in this place. The man pulled out a gun and spoke to me. “The best thing is for you to stay here. You’re worthless, though. It costs no one anything to shoot you or slit your throat just for fun. You’d better hide and until someone eliminated the target.” I felt really bad to hear that. I was trapped in that place and I couldn’t say, couldn’t do anything. It was very distressing. I just opened the door a little bit and saw other users walking around the club. Maybe it woul
Duel of systems Fourth
I answered the call so as not to drag that matter out any longer. “Hello!” “You’re a bastard! You reproach me for Alejandro, but you’re the lover of a bitch!” I didn’t really like hearing that, but I kept listening to her. Until I got bored with her insults. “You are a cynic! I see what you spend your money on!” I paused a little and was as clear as possible with Adriana. I didn’t want to be next to her anymore. “I’m going to separate. My mistress wants me to go live with her. Monday we’ll talk.” I hung up on her and turned off my cell phone, I wanted to get some rest. They had been too weird. I closed and opened my eyes, surprisingly I got a notification from the system, I ignored it, but this time something very strange happened to me. I was transported to a lonely place full of ice. It was very cold, maybe I was in the North Pole or in the South Pole. I was only in my underwear and I didn’t know what to do, my short black hair started to fill with snow and my black eyes we
