BECOMING ONE WITH THE SYSTEM [BECOMING A CYBORG] "Did you just say get along? You crippled my girlfriend and also had my friends killed, and you want me to be friends with you?" I looked at Diana, not knowing what to do. We can't fight inside the school premises, as it is against the rules of the campus. Jonas looked at his sister and was surprised. "Did I hear you well, Diana? Why would you want to be friends with these losers? Don't tell me you had a change of heart." He added, looking at her in disbelief. " Does father know about this?" "Can you just stay out of this?" Diana shouted at him. I said nothing but simply took Rosetta into the school premises. "Have you transferred the money to Mr. Dickson's account?" I asked as I wheeled her to her department. "Yes, I did that this morning." She said she was looking at me. I bent down, looking at her face. "I will come by to see you during break hours. Text me if you need anything." I was about to walk out when I felt Rosetta's sof
{ BECOMING A HEALER }I watched as I became engulfed with the green smoke. Titus stood looking at me. " What is going on?" I asked myself [ THE HEALING PORTION IS ENTERING YOUR BODY. YOU ARE NOW BECOMING A HEALER BUT MIND YOU, YOU CAN ONLY USE IT TWICE. BE WISE IN USING IT AND MAKE IT COUNT ] Shadow Blade said I smiled seeing that I was able to get the healing portion at last. Rosetta came to my mind. " can I heal her? Can she walk again? I know I have to at least try. [ SYSTEM MESSAGE: CONGRATULATIONS FREDERICK ON BECOMING THE TOP HEALER IN THE GAMING SYSTEM. WELCOME TO LEVEL 5 ] I smiled seeing I was upgrading my level but by a bit. I had left Titus at level 4. We were not only competing in real life but we were also in the gaming system. The gaming system was now more than just money to both of us. it was now a matter of life and death. I was back in the real world and I was met by Titus stern look. I smiled and strapped my bag to my back " You haven't seen anything yet. I wou
{ ROSETTA ABLE TO WALK ONCE AGAIN }I didn't understand how. I watched as the puzzling energy kept radiating over Rosetta. I dropped her on the bed and watched her dose off. I was tired myself. I went back to the dining room and outer myself a drink. I needed to start building a career for myself and it was high time I chose what I was going to do with my life. I took off my shirt and focused on the screen right in front of me. I had not been concentrating on my school work and activities and my grading was falling. I needed to take extra classes but everything had been so tough with Jonas and his father's menace. I couldn't bear to tell the police that an underground building was right inside the school. No one would believe me because Mr Dickson had everyone's top officials in the palm of his hand. I need to start building my connections too. I carefully drafted a plan on the wall with Mr Dickson on top of it all. I knew taking him down wouldn't be easy with the government officia
[ PLAN TO TAKE DOWN MR DICKSON]Xavier's mouth dropped in awe as he saw Rosetta walk out of the room. He stood up, looking at me as he walked towards her. "How did this happen? Are you sure you don't need to see a doctor?" He asked, looking at Rosetta, who fell to the floor once again.I looked at her. "Are you alright, babe?" I walked closer to Rosetta and lifted her into my arms. "You need to stay in bed even if you have heard our voices." Rosetta looked at me. "Did you do this?" she asked, staring at my face. "I am not sure what you are talking about. You just came out of the room, walking by yourself. How am I supposed to know what you are talking about?" I lied as I tried to look away from her. Xavier listened to our conversation and looked at me. "I can't deny you have been a little strange for a few days now. You are stronger, faster, and better at combat. What are you, Fred?" "What do you mean, what am I? Do you think I am some superhuman?" I asked with a smile. I knew it
{ A DATE}We all fixed our gazes on Xavier, eager to hear what he had to say. Xavier readjusted himself in his seat. "We need to approach Mr. Dickson at the campaign grounds. We also need to buy a post for her in the government section." He looked at me. "A post? Is that really necessary? I think all we are concerned about is getting him to come for our money." Rosetta asked, looking at him. "That is the plan. We would have to make sure he runs out of funds, and we also need to dig out some dirt about Jonas. I mean, some shitty stuff, and let's have proof for it. Nobody will vote for a man who can't train his son." We all nodded and looked at Xavier. "Keep talking." I said I was getting his drift. "Do you have anything on, Jonas?"I looked at all of them. "Well, I know he killed Richard and some other students, but I don't have any concrete evidence." I said that and looked at Zack."You were his wingman; surely you would have something we could use against him." Zack rubbed his h
[ A ROMANTIC DINNER DATE WITH ROSETTA ] I watched as Diana walk up towards our table with Jonas, and without asking for permission, she brought out a chair and sat down facing us. "What do you want?" I asked with anger; it was clear Diana was going to ruin the date I was having with Rosetta."I can see you brought your crippled girlfriend out for some dinner." Jonas looked at her and asked, "Where is her chair, or did you have to piggyback her all the way down here?" he added Rosetta wanted to talk, but I calmed her down. I looked around and didn't want to constitute a nuisance. "Can you state your business and leave?" "That is harsh, babe. I came because I saw you. Don't tell me you are picking this cripple over me. Over this body." Diana said as she stood up to her feet to show me some part of her body. Jonas looked at her, irritated. "What do you see in this loser, and why do you want him so badly?" There are many guys on campus who would be glad to have someone like you." Jona
{ CONTRACT TERMINATION }I looked at the message that appeared on my phone, and my heart raced faster. "What is this? Why does the system have to go this far? Are they trying to test my ability?" I looked at the message again as I strapped the bag to my back. Xavier noticed the look on my face. "Is everything alright, Fred?" he asked. Rosetta, who also noticed my mood, looked at me. "Are you alright? It seems you have seen a ghost." I was quiet as my heart raced continuously. "I am fine. Can we go now?" I looked at Xavier and said, " Seat belt, please." Xavier said, igniting the car.Rosetta stole a quick glance at me again and slowly held my hand. "You are going to be fine. I mean, we are going to be fine. We just need to stick to the plan." I slowly brought out my phone and looked at the message again. I knew I couldn't take on Titus without the Shadow Blade. I don't know much about his avatar or how strong he is. I looked at the message again and read it all over again to be sur
{ ALL HELL LOSE}I entered my car as I raced behind Zack. He was driving like a maniac, cursing everyone as he drove along the busy road. I took my phone and called him, but he was not picking up my call. "Pick your call, damn it!" I shouted in anger, hitting my steering wheel. Zack almost collided with an oncoming vehicle and lashed out angrily at the man. "Fuck you!" he shouted, showing the middle finger.Zack drove towards the school and walked out of the car, racing towards the Jonas department. "Zack! Zack! Wait!" I shouted, running after him like some puppy. Zack walked into Jonas's class as he eye-rolled around, looking for his prey. "There you are!" Zack said he was climbing the table right in front of him. He landed a blow to Jonas's face and broke his nose. The class was in uproar to see both of them fight. Jonas got up, holding his broken nose. Christopher wasn't to barge in, but Jonas pushed him back. "I can handle his one," he said, tilting his head to the back a litt
