{ RISE TO FAME: FIGHT OF THE SEASON}I watched the person standing before me, and it was Titus. Many of the reporters looked at the tension between us and knew there was an episode that had transpired. "Who is he, Mr. Frederick?" one of the reporters asked, staring at us both. "No one," I replied. "Some, actually, and I am going to be your worst nightmare," Titus said with a smirk on his face. "Who are you?" another reporter asked as the camera flickered right at our faces.Mr. Dickson walked in on us and looked at me. "I would like to have Titus challenge him. I am sure you all are eager to see what Fred here can do." He said, looking at me "Do you accept the challenge, Mr. Fred?" I looked at the female reporter before me. I saw they were all eager to see a fight. I have a lot to uncover and also bring Mr. Dickson to justice for all he has done. I need to uncover the truth behind the House of Shade and also bring to light the deaths of my colleagues. "I am going to take up the cha
{ DIANA ON A MISSION }I walked out of the car, and the reporters came at me and said, "Do you think you can win your fight against Titus?" A dark-haired reporter asked, looking at me. "I am not sure about anything in my life at the moment. I was once a penniless boy who could barely even feed himself, but right now I own my house, and I can boast that I have good friends who had my bad. something that wasn't like this a couple of years ago." I said with a smile, looking at Thomas and Zack behind me. "What do you have to say to Mr. Dickson? It looks like you both had unresolved issues. Another reporter asked through the crowd I looked at the reporter and smirked, "Things ain't what they seem to be on the outside. They want you to see that they are the good guys, but beneath all of that is a viper ready to strike you down at any time." "Are you seeing someone? Are you in love?" Another reporter asked, and I looked at Rosetta, who was inside the car."It all looked like yesterday to
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
