{ REUNITING }I looked beside me and saw I was still in the garden just that Rosetta was not beside me. " Where am I?" I asked myself gently looking at the familiar surroundings. I was still in my world just that it was a little different. [ YOU ARE IN THE GAMING SYSTEM, FRED. YOU WANTED TO MEET YOUR PARENT AND I AM GOING TO HELP YOU DO THAT ] Stealthy said with a soft voice I didn't quite understand what he meant so I thought I was just going to see a projection of their images. "Thank you." I replied with a shaky voice. I have seen my parents or even know what they look like. I had grew up in the orphanage and since I have grown, I had been struggling to make emds meet for myself. It hasn't been easy but I was able to cope until I met with fate. I stood still, feeling the familiar but eerie calm of the gaming system world envelop me. The air was thick with anticipation, my heart beating in sync with the hum of the system. As I took a tentative step forward, the surroundings sh
{ MR DICKSON/ AKUMA BEHIND BARS }Akuma who now has control over Mr Dickson's body sat down inside the Dean's office. He knew it was only a matter of time before he was come after by the FBI and interviewers. Akuma quickly gathered his and was about to wake out of the Dean's office when he met me by the door. "Escaping? You don't strike me as the type who would try to escape in a situation like this." I said with a smile on my face " Don't ever think I am running away from all of this. You might have won this round but don't think I am going to give in to your threats." Akuma replied " There is no place that would be safe for you. Do you know that? I am going to hunt you to the last of the earth." I threatened and Akuma walked closer to me. " I can see you have gotten some nerves boy, I am going to show you why I am the most dangerous Avatar of all time." Akuma sad out of Mr Dickson's body " You should think about changing your host because the FBI will be here anytime soon. I call
{ THE INFINITE POWER.; THE MYSTERIOUS GEM}I entered the gym tentatively, with the sound of my footsteps blending with the eerie silence in the air. The previously neat room was now disorganized, with exercise mats and weights scattered everywhere as if a storm had passed through. I quickly became alert due to my instincts. Behind me, Rosetta, Zack, and the rest of our group trailed, their eyes wide with a mix of curiosity and apprehension. I wondered who was responsible for the deed.I warned quietly, my words barely able to be heard. "There's something wrong here." I observed the gym room, which was previously tidy but is now messy.Rosetta tightened her grip on my hand, and I could feel the slight tremor of fear that ran through her. Despite the recent victory over Akuma, there was an unsettling feeling that danger still lurked nearby. We all knew Akuma had something up his sleeve, but I didn't know it was going to be this. "Do you think it's Akuma?" Zack asked, his voice hushed b
{ FIGHT WITH THE SUPER SOLDIERS ] [SYSTEM UPDATE] [SYSTEM NAME: FREDERICK][SYSTEM LEVEL; LEVEL 10] [GEM;; 50] [SYSTEM AVATARS; STEALTHY, SHADOW BLADE, CLAW][BONUS: $2000] [PORTIONS; 1 HEALING PORTION] [WINS; 25] [LOSS; 4]] I glanced through my system arcade, and I knew I had to play more to have it upgraded.Two men in dark suits entered, their presence immediately commanding attention. Their eyes scanned the room with cold precision before locking onto me. My heart raced as I recognized the emblem on their jackets—the same one Thomas described. "This can't be? Did they follow us down to the hospital?" I asked myself, not sure "Fred, right?" One of them called out, his voice low and menacing.I tensed, realizing they were here for me. "Who are you?" I demanded, trying to maintain my composure."Let's just say we're interested in the 'Eclipse,'" the second man replied, stepping closer. I felt the aura around him, and I knew they were superior to us. Whoever they might have
The men stood startled while I watched Thomas hit the floor. I saw the look on his face, and I felt my avatar enraged as Thomas closed his eyes. I wanted to change towards the men in black, but then they disappeared. Rushing towards Thomas, I looked into his eyes, and I saw that he was dead. I release a shockwave, destroying everything in front of me. But then I remembered I had the healing portion. "Apply the healing portion." I shouted at Shadow Blade. [I AM SORRY FREDERICK, BUT HE IS GONE] Claw said it tenderly, trying to soothe my heart. I clenched my jaw in anger as tears flooded my face. I looked back, and I saw Cassandra running towards me. "No! No!!" She shouted as tears flooded her eyes. Zack stood still and didn't know what to do. Rosetta walked slowly towards me and looked into my eyes. "It is alright, Fred. "It is okay to grieve." I cried gently in her arms, remembering the days I started as one of Thomas's students and how he had been there for me. Seeing him lifeless
{ ANOTHER GAMING UNIVERSE; ASH REALM} The room was dim, the only light coming from the flickering embers of the fireplace. I slumped further into the cushion, staring at the ceiling, trying to drown out the memories of Thomas. His laughter, his wisdom, his unwavering support—it all haunts me now.“Tell me, Shadow Blade,” I said, my voice barely above a whisper. “I need to know how to kill them.” [THEY ARE NOT OF THIS WORLD, Frederick.] [To defeat them, you must venture into their reality.]I sat up, the weight of those words sinking in. “Their realm? Are you saying we have to leave Earth?”[YES. THEY COME FROM A PLACE BEYOND OUR UNDERSTANDING, A DIMENSION WHERE TIME AND SPACE ARE FLUID. YOU WILL NEED AN ANCHOR TO GUIDE YOU BACK.]I took a deep breath, the weight of the task ahead of me sinking in. I looked at the picture of Thomas once more, his smiling face giving me a glimmer of hope and determination. "What kind of anchor?"[A TOKEN OF GREAT PERSONAL VALUE, SOMETHING THAT TIES Y
{ SYSTEM NEW RULES}Zack and the rest gathered in my mansion, awaiting my arrival. "Do you think he is going to ever come back?" Cassandra asked, looking at Zack with a worried look on her face. "I have never ventured into space before, Cassie, so ask me stuff that looks real." Zack replied, feeling agitated himself. Everyone was edgy and was walking in an eggshell. The fact that they knew I was the key to solving the mystery they were in added to their fears, and they knew I couldn't die now. Their phone beeped at the same time, and a new system mission was given. [SYSTEM ALERT][SYSTEM TASK: PLAY YOUR NEXT MISSION TO GIVE STRENGTH TO FRED] [SYSTEM REWARD: A LIFE PORTION TO EACH GAMER AND A SUM OF $23,000,000] They all concentrated on the task coming up on their phones. They were all tired of winning the round and sending the healing portion strength as promised by the system. "Did you make the cut?" Zack asked, looking at all their faces. Wccler Judith, who was neutral. She ha
{ JONAS AND DIANA AT WAR}Jonas had to sneak back into the country when Davina called to tell him Diana, his sister, had betrayed their father. Without believing his ears that Davina was back, Jonas was able to enter the city unnoticed. Davina was seated outside by the pool as the gentle breeze blew over her skin. The sun cast a warm glow over the surroundings, its rays dancing across the rippling pool water and illuminating the lush greenery that surrounded the outdoor seating area. The air was filled with the sweet scent of blooming flowers and the soft chirping of birds, creating a serene and peaceful atmosphere. The gentle breeze carried whispers of the past, secrets, and lies that had been hidden for so long.Davina sat with her eyes fixed on the distant horizon, her expression a mix of determination and worry. Her long, dark hair was pulled back into a sleek ponytail, revealing her sharp jawline and piercing green eyes that seemed to bore into the soul. She was a picture of ca
