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

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

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. (Welcome user) [You have received a new opportunity] [You will return to life as if nothing had happened to you, but you must do a mission] (Rules) [You cannot be detected by a regular person doing a mission. Simply put, no normal person can recognize you doing the mission Automatically, you go on the punishment list and if you are caught, you will also go on the target list] [You cannot kill another player without being on a mission] [You cannot interfere in another player’s life without being allowed to do so] [You cannot kill external people] [You cannot tell a normal person what you do] [Any rule can be added or changed.

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

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

I woke up to the sound of cars. I opened my eyes and saw Lucia, she was driving another red Ferrari. I was in the passenger seat with an impressive pain in my head. I smelled blood, and I was a little dizzy, I was very annoyed by the smell of smoke coming from some cars, it irritated me a lot. The woman felt that I was moving and spoke to me. -Don’t move too much. You must stay still for a while. -Are you taking me to a hospital? -Almost. Let’s go to my house. I accept your proposal. I need you to help me on a mission. “Why?” “You said you would do what I told you if I helped you. Well I need your help too, some users made groups and that dangerous. This week’s missions are in another city, there are none here.” I just thought to calm down a little, I knew how dangerous it was to face another group of assassins. Maybe that would be short-lived and I could be calm for the rest of the day. However, the further we went. We reached the exclusive area of the city. Only rich people e

After the impact, the driver got out of the car. Lucia pulled out a gun, I didn’t hesitate to ask her. “What’s wrong?” “Mmm, I have problems with the mafia. Not because of the mission, it’s external stuff.” “A rich woman like you has problems with the mafia?” “One of the companies I own is competition for a mafia business.” After listening to her, I knew that we are all wanted for trouble, regardless of social status. For the first time, I pulled out a gun and prepared to shoot, but she motioned to me. “You better stay, I’ll settle this quickly. The hit wasn’t that hard, and maybe it was an accident.” She got out of the car with the gun hidden in the dress she was wearing. I didn’t try to tell her anything and concentrated on looking at my system. I wanted to see if there was anything that could help me, since I hadn’t checked anything. I could see the announcement of the missions I would have to do. [Missions] [Steal] [Kill]. Obviously, I preferred to be an assassin, my m

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

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

Courtship
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

Hope
The next day I arrived at the mansion, it seemed even more silent and gloomy after what I experienced a short while ago. The uncertainty and tension gave me a bad mood. My mind was filled with unanswered questions. I felt trapped in that game. Where only killing was valid.I got up from the couch that was in one of the rooms, I headed towards the bathroom to wash my face. I felt the need to clean my conscience, although I knew it would not be easy to get rid of the guilt that was eating away at me. I looked at my reflection in the mirror, trying to find some strength and hope in my own tired eyes.After a long bath, I put on a clean shirt and pants. I walked back to the room where Lucia lay comatose, fragile and helpless. I closed the door behind me and left a message for the nurse not to come. I wanted to be alone with her, to share a moment and unburden everything that had been weighing on my heart.I lay down next to her, feeling the softness of the sheets and the warmth of her lim

Anderson Leton
In two seconds I saw how the girl fell to the ground, she received two accurate shots, that man came to me quickly.The sound of the girl's body shook me. I felt that I was dead too, however, I could see Anderson and I was surprised to see him in front of me. That man was the one who helped Lucia a short while ago. He shot me in the shoulder twice."That's weird why are you here, do you know who you're up against?"Hearing his voice and seeing him approaching I recognized him. He was the man from the bar who helped me. The same one who spoke to me a few days ago. I decided to answer since he would probably kill me."No, I just wanted to try my luck, with the other users.""You want to die fast, but well, I'll grant your wish.""I'm only doing this for Lucia. 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

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

Solution

The exhausting plane ride had been a torment, I was very sleepy, I had not slept on the plane.Nevertheless, I had a mission to accomplish before the day was over. 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. I sensed that something was not right.Without wasting a single second, I boarded the first cab I saw as I left the airport. As I dialed the meter number on my phone over and over again, I began to get anxious, no one was answering on the other end of the line.Imagine the worst, it was very strange that a man with it did not answer me, nor did he try to communicate with me.[...]When I arrived at the mansion where Lucia was recovering from her coma, I found employees taking their suitcases out of the place. I got out of the cab and approached somewhat anxious to
