Duel of systems Rifle
I awoke abruptly in the midst of a deafening tumult. The din of voices filled the corridors of the hotel, like a dissonant chorus of nonconformities and complaints. Curious about the commotion, I got out of bed and crept to the half-open door to discover the source of the hubbub.As I peeked in, my eyes were met with an unexpected and threatening scene. Two individuals were having a heated argument. They were people with disturbing tattoos on their faces. It was evident that they belonged to some shady gang.Instinctively, I closed the door slowly, while my mind worked on how to quickly complete my mission and escape from that oppressive place. Although I was in an unfamiliar city, I had a clear conviction that I could not afford to harm innocent civilians, as the consequences would be severe and the system prevented me from doing so.I lay back on the bed and turned my gaze back to the system that had been provided to me. I longed for more information about the man I was to confront.
Duel of systems Return
I made up my mind to look for information about the man. So I decided to ask him about Walter Smith on my way back to my hotel."Do you know anything about Walter, the policeman?", I asked him directly.The man looked at me suspiciously before answering, "He is corrupt, he has many enemies. He has betrayed many people and killed them. If you go after him, don't waste your time.""Mmm, I see. Don't worry, with this I'm just going to kill a thief. I arrived a few days ago here, I just know he lives nearby in the hotel where I'm staying and the police are corrupt. I'd better solve my problems myself," I replied, trying to hide my true intention.I took out the two thousand dollars he had asked for and handed it to him. I watched as he took them and then said to me:"You are a very strange foreigner. You're more likely to get yourself killed, but hey, you're not my problem anymore."I didn't care about his comment, I had what I needed. A sniper weapon to eliminate Walter without exposing

I noticed how my body transformed, gaining muscle and strength in my arms. I now understood the purpose of my daily task. However, my attention was focused on what was happening with Lucia's business.

Duel of systems Confrontation
The next day. I woke up to the sounds of the mansion. Someone was prowling around the place. I decided to get out of bed and leave Lucia with the nurse again. Although I wanted to stay and do nothing.I put only my shirt back on, thought about changing clothes, and looking for someone to manage Lucia's business, since I was incapable of handling that responsibility. I proceeded to open the door to the room. I saw the nurse, she was a woman in her late 40's, straight hair, somewhat short and chubby. She looked a little worried, maybe she thought I had done something to Lucia, but I preferred not to say anything to her so as not to confuse her."She is breathing a little slow, if necessary put her on oxygen.""Yes, sir, don't worry."She didn't even look me in the eyes. I was left wondering by her attitude, so I just stayed for a few minutes and then went back into the room at a moment's notice.The woman was nervous, she kept looking at me, but I decided to tell her what I was thinki

He was the man from the bar who helped me. The same one who spoke to me a few days ago.

She is in a coma and next month she will be targeted, I won't be able to protect her, I need to level up and do more missions.""I see, well shoot me""What?""I have nothing to live for, the police and the system is after me for

I went back to the room to see if it was true what the man had told me, but in front of me, Lucia began to move. Lucia began to move and I saw her raise a hand and try to scratch her face.My heart raced with excitement and hope as I witnessed the first signs of life in Lucia. Her movements were weak and awkward, but they signified that the recovery process had begun. I rushed to her side, taking her hand gently."Lucia, can you hear me?" I whispered in a trembling voice, "It's me, Leandro."Lucia slowly opened her eyes, blinking several times to focus her gaze on me. A flash of recognition crossed her face and a faint smile formed on her lips."Leandro... why are you here?" she said in a weak but loving voice. Tears of happiness flooded my eyes as I leaned down to kiss his forehead tenderly."What are you doing, why are you here?"."He's been in a coma for a few weeks and a lot of things changed.""What things?""Your brother wanted to run your companies and your life, plus he had y

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

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

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
