GAMING POWERS ACTIVATED I was surprised to see what the gaming system was bringing for me. It came with advanced settings and a way for me to update my avatar. Thinking it was all about gaming, I quickly played it and I was given a new set of skills or should I say power. My avatar looked different. Once I was done, I had my coins changed, and also my avatar was given new combat skills [ SYSTEM HOST: FREDRICK ][ BALANCE; $4,000,000 ][ SKILLS; KARATE ][ SYSTEM NOTICE; THIS SKILL WILL LAST FOR A WEEK. PLAY MORE GAMES TO UNLOCK NEW SETS OF SKILLS ]I smiled seeing my new skill " Karate isn't so bad either although I didn't know much about karate." I woke up the next day and jogged down to Thomas's gym house. It was still lockedI looked at my exercise watch and I thought maybe I was a bit too early. I had left my dorm by 5:30 am and I was at the gym house at exactly 6 am" Wow! That was fast." I said impressed with myself. The journey from my university down to Thomas's gym should
THE GAMING EVENT Everyone was surprised to see Rosetta kiss me. She had never kissed any guy on the university grounds and here she was kissing a fresher. She saw me blushed and smiled. " You need to make her feel she isn't worth it. And you need to stop mobbing like a child." She said silently into my ears. Xavier laughed, " You think that is funny big man?" I said with my face turning red " I wasn't mobbing." I managed to reply as I walked beside her " And was that your first kiss? I could see your face could light up the university ground." She asked looking at me and my face turned red again " Ah! You are doing it again." She said with a smile " Do you need some cash?" I asked looking at her, she was damn so good at what I contracted her for. I just felt like giving her more money to say I was grateful" you gave me the money we bargained for and remember our deal only lasts for some months?" She said in my ears "I know but..." I was about to finish my words when I looked up
FINDING A TEACHER { KARATE LESSON }I looked at Thomas as he made a few calls and eventually walked up to me" Looks like you have got your Karate tutor but he is asking for $24,000." " Money is not the problem. When do I get to meet him and have you gotten me an apartment yet?" I asked staring at his face " Oh yes! But it is going to cost you $3,000,000." Thomas said with eyes that told me that it was expensive I chuckled " Can I check it out? And is it having a good view? I want something nice. and convenient." " Of course. I will send some pictures to your phone in a bit." I looked at my phone as the pictures kept popping in. " This looks nice, can I talk to the person in charge?" I asked staring at the pictures. I was planning to take Rosetta out on a dateThe gym door opened and I looked up to see a muscular bearded man walking through " Hey, Thomas." he came walking towards us " My man. We were just talking about coming to see you." Thomas replied " Oh really?" He said ta
I had thought Davina was in my front to beg for my mercy but instead, she smirked: " I don't know how you come back that so much wealth but it had better been real because I will stop at nothing to see you hit the bottom rock." She said with so much vermin in her voice "Then you will be waiting for a long time. Besides, I wondered how long Jonas is going to keep you. He doesn't love you and you are just another woman who will warm his bed for some time before he leaves you for someone better." I said back at her trying to hurt her feelings [ SLAP] " You know nothing about Jonas. He loves me and I love him too. I wish he had you killed just like he killed Richard." She blurted out angrily My heart raced a bit. " Did I just hear her correctly? Or I am just assuming things?" I soliloquy " What did you just say?" I asked trying to make her request herself I knew Jonas and Zack had Richard killed but I have been so busy trying to save myself that I didn't remember anything about him
DRAWN INTO THE SYSTEM "Where am I? What is this?" I wondered what was going on and I noticed this wasn't the real world. " Wait a second? Am I in the system?" I shouted in disbelief [ SYSTEM: YOUR KARATE TRAINING WILL BEGIN IN A BIT ] " What? My training? How does the system do this?" I said with happiness. I needed some training and now I would be trained by the gaming system itself. That was way cooler than what I had expected. I watched as my Avatar was equipped with arcade skills.Suddenly the gaming atmosphere changed [ SYSTEM TASK: YOU ARE TO WIN ANY OF THE ROUNDS TO UNLOCK SOCIAL ABILITIES AND ALSO WIN SOME COINS. ][ REWARD: YOU WILL BE GIFTED WITH THE SKILLS WHEN YOU DEFEAT THE KARATE MENTOR. GAMING COINS WOULD AUTOMATICALLY BE CLEARED OFF IF YOU LOSE] " What? Gaming coins would be cleared off?" I felt scared. My account balance was red and I needed to pay the remaining money for the house I got. I knew losing was not an option anymore. The ground shifted and I heard a v
UNSETTLED FEELINGS Rosetta entered my room and fainted. I quickly put on a shirt and closed the door. I laid her on my bed and waited for her to gain consciousness. She slowly opened her eyes and looked at me. She called my name gently and I looked at her " I am here." I said gently looking at her face " Is that you, Frederick?" She asked still shaken up by what she had seen earlier I nodded and said nothing. I was still battling with the system upgrades and the body changes. " What happened to your body? I could have sworn, I saw some ink and something that glowed on your chest. Are you in pain?" Rosetta asked sitting up to catch a good view of my face I didn't know where to begin the story or what to tell her. " You just need to calm down. I am fine, it is just a gaming thing to help me with my Karate training." I lied " I thought, Thomas got you someone already? Does that help?" She asked running her hand through my broad chest. I looked at her and I could feel her breath on
Ella looked at me and smirked. She said nothing but simply walked in our front. I felt Rosetta's gaze on me. I knew she didn't believe I could just say out loud that she was my girlfriend. We got to where I was going I signed and I did. We were walking out when I met Davina and Jonas. They had equally come to do the same thing. We exchange glances and Rosetta slides her hand into mine. I followed Davina's gaze and I saw a bit of jealousy in her as she moved Jonas's face in her hand and kissed him. I smirked seeing that she would go to any length to show she was doing just fine without me. The tension between us was high as we walked back to my dorm. " I will be..." I was cut off by Rosetta " Do you...mean." I looked at her " Do I mean what?" " Do you want me as your girlfriend?" She asked with a serious look I walked closer to her and stared into her face " What do you truly want, Rosetta? This is just a contract between us and I am damn right you are in this because of the money
ON A DANGEROUS MISSIONXavier looked at me with disbelief " I can't believe you want to risk all for someone you don't know anything about. I have heard about this place before and trust me these are dangerous men. They have connections with the richest and most influential men in the country. " I looked at him and after hearing what he said I decided to change my mind " Okay, let's just go in to find out what is going on. Is that okay with you?" I asked looking at Xavier " Fine. But we are doing things my way and let me do the talking." He warned me as we got out of the car The muscular men who stood guard in the clubhouse looked at us as we approached. " Hey, we want in?" Xavier said with a smile on his face One of the men standing guard looked at us " Want in on what? You both should disappear before the count of five." he said with a grin on his face "One, two, three, four," I quickly drew Xavier away before he counted five. " Your way sucks, okay." Let me try my way. Watch
