{ 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?"

    { 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.

    { 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

    { JONAS INJURED } Jonas tightened his grip on the dagger, his eyes narrowing as he took a step towards Diana. "Tell me the truth now, or so help me, Diana; I will find out myself, and it won't be pleasant. Tell me why you have to have your father locked away."Diana's eyes flashed with defiance. "You think you can intimidate me, Jonas? I've faced worse than you." She reached behind her, her fingers brushing the edge of the shelf, searching for something she could use to defend herself."Stop!" Jonas shouted, his voice echoing through the empty mansion. "I will not let you destroy this family. Not after everything we've been through. Father had to make sure I was safe, and I am going to do the same thing whether you like it or not." Jonas screamed at her. His eyes showed he was mad with rage, and he would do anything to get his answers from Diana.Diana's hand found the cold, hard surface of a marble bookend. She gripped it tightly, her heart pounding in her chest. "Jonas, you don't u

    { THE ENEMY OF MY ENEMY IS MY FRIEND}Zack walked in with Diana behind him. The room was tensed as Jonas was laid on the bed with lots of eyes that wanted him dead looking at him. "When was he in the country?" Judith asked, looking at Diana. "I was taken by surprise when he showed up. I wasn't expecting to see him." Diana replied, her eyes showing she had been crying. "You do know we want him dead, right?" Flora said it without any feelings. "Be nice." Zack looked at her. "Be nice? Do I need to remind you that he tried to kill me, and he killed Xavier?" Flora looked at Zack. "Guys, we have a lot going on for us at the moment. Fred is not here, and I don't know what he would have done. But I am trying to keep things together until he is around. Only Fred gets to decide his fate. As for the main time, we need to know how we are going to defeat the men in black." Zack replied Diana wiped her face and looked at Zack. She didn't understand what he meant by men in black."What do you mean?

    { THE SHADOW NINJAS}Diana's face became pale as the shadows began to change into recognisable forms; their movements were fluid and almost precise. She instinctively reached for her weapon, but Zack's hand stopped her. "Save it," he whispered. "We'll need more than just brute force."He had seen the shadow fight, and it was nothing they could counter without proper strategy. He looked at the others and saw that they were scared. "We just need to live through the night. They attached us in the night for a reason. "I thought Fred was supposed to have taken care of them." Judith shouted, bringing out her avatar. "I hope he does, for everyone's sake." Zack replied, getting ready with a battle formation. The room was plunged into silence, the tension palpable. Flora, Rosetta, and Judith formed a defensive semi-circle around Jonas's prone form, their eyes darting to the shadows now fully taking shape. The men in black had arrived."We need to hold them off until we figure out our next mov

    { FINDING ALLIES }The first rays of dawn cast a golden hue over the mansion. Zack lay in Flora's arms, his breathing slow and steady. The others gathered around, exhaustion etched into their faces, but a glimmer of hope showed in their eyes. The night had been brutal, but they had survived. For now.Diana stood by the window, keeping watch for any remaining threats. Her heart was still pounding from the adrenaline of the fight, and she found it difficult to relax despite their temporary victory. She glanced over at Zack, grateful for his resilience and leadership. She looked at him and still didn't understand how the ninjas had magically come out of the thin darkness or what they wanted with them."We can't stay here," Zack murmured, his voice barely above a whisper. Flora tightened her grip on him, her eyes filled with concern. She looked at him and knew he wasn't wounded, but his life force wasn't balanced. He needed more rest. "You're in no condition to move," she protested, but

    { TEMOORARY ALLINACE }"I will go and do the talking." Zack looked at everyone. "And do you think they would listen to you?" Judith looked at his face. "They have too, because the fate of the world depends on them listening to me," Zack replied, grabbing the tracker. "I will go with you." Jonas went inside to grab a few of his things. "I don't think that is a good idea." Diana replied, stopping him. "And why is that?" Jonas raced his eye brows, looking at Diana. "Because you are in no shape to go out, and besides, you can't defend yourself if things go south." Jonas looked at Zack and said, "He is there to protect me." "I doubt that. You should listen to your sister." Zack replied, walking towards the door. "I will tag along. You need all the muscle you can get." Judith replied"Be safe; don't forget to beep us if anything happens." Diana said, looking at both of them.Zack and Judith entered the car that had brought them and drove out of the forest, heading towards the tracker.

    { JOINED FORCES} Zack looked at Alex and his minions, saying nothing. They walked out of the house and went back to the car. Zack was about to ignite the engine when Judith looked at him. "Don't tell me you have given up already." She asked, staring at his face. ' Don't you hear them? They are not ready to team up with us. They are just as good as being dead if the ninjas strike at them." Zack replied "Then we need to stay and see this to the end. They might just have a change of heart if they saw what we saw too." Judith advised them to wait until the following day and see if they were going to be attacked too. ******************************************************************Emily looked at Alex, who seemed composed. "Do you think they're telling the truth?" she asked, glancing between George and Alex."Don't tell me you believe those lies already," George scoffed, looking up from his seat. "I don't want to, but seeing them come here makes me wonder if there's more to their st

    { I AM BACK}Zack looked at me and was surprised. Most of the sympathisers were. "You were supposed to be dead?" Zack stammered, looking at me. "Let's just say I refuse to die." I replied with a smile. "Can you help her up?" I looked at Rosetta, who was on the floor with her eyes closed. Cassandra ran towards me and threw herself at me. She dobbed gently as she hugged me. I know I was the only thing she had left to be a brother. Everyone looked at me, and immediately the coffin was opened. The clergy looked at me and said, " This is a sign from heaven. Do you wish to share your death and return to life with everyone?" He said it with a smile on his face. I looked around to see the faces of so many students, all seated and staring at me with disbelief on their faces. I waited for the podium and grabbed the microphone. "I don't know where to start." I said it gently, with teary eyes. "I remembered my first day at the university grounds; I was just a teenager, but now." I looked at m

    CONFRONTING TRAGEDY / THE BURIAL Zack, Richard, and Rosetta had a restless night, each consumed by their own thoughts on the events that had occurred. In the morning, the atmosphere in the mansion was filled with tension. The team assembled in the lounge, with a tense quiet atmosphere prevailing. Zack interrupted the silence. "We need a plan," he stated, his voice unwavering despite the inner chaos he experienced. "Jonas will keep going." We must carefully consider this. Judith was the one who replied first. "We must not allow him to escape from consequences. Jonas has hurt alot of people and now he must dance to the music. Fred wouldn't forgive us if Jonas managed to go unpunished." With red eyes from tears, Rosetta nodded. " I agree. However, we must be smart about all of this. We must not allow our actions to be dictated by our emotions."Diana looked around the room, her face showed determination. "We need evidence. If we can gather enough proof of Jonas's involvement in F

    { CONFRONTING TRAGEDY }Zack and Richard thought of a way to break the news to Rosetta. As they drove back to the mansion, they both pushed the responsibility of breaking the news onto her. "You should do it; you know I am just a member of Fred's crew. And besides, you know her more than I do," Richard said, gently trying to persuade Zack. "We both went because Fred trusted us. Now that he is gone, you are pushing the responsibility on me." Zack packed and looked at Richard. "I am sorry, but the news is going to be devastating to not only Rosetta but to everyone." Richard said and sighed. The two of them looked at each other and said nothing. Zack's phone buzzed, cutting the tension. "Who?" Richard asked, looking at Zack. "Rosetta," he said, showing him the phone. Thier heard beat fast as Zack picked up the call. "Tell me he is alright." Rosetta's voice was loud over the phone. "Can we talk when we get home? We are almost at the mansion." Zack quickly cut her shirt before she sa

    {THE BRINK OF DARKNESS }"What is it going to be, Fred? Do I need to shoot her before I get you to talk? Tell me what you know about the system. I know you didn't have it destroyed." Jonas barked I looked at Rosetta and back at Jonas. "You need to believe me when I tell you that I had the system destroyed. What do you want from me?" I shouted in anger. "I want absolute power, and I want my face changed. I can do that with the power of the system, and you are going to help me.'" I looked at Zack and back at Richard. "I will do that if you let Rosetta go and have me as a hostage instead." I replied Emily looked at Jonas and nodded. Rosetta was immediately pushed towards Richard and Zack while I walked over to Jonas. "Take care of her." I looked at Zack as they walked out of the warehouse. "Now you are going to tell me what I need to hear, or I am going to kill you, Fred. You have taken a lot from me. You took my father and my sister and also turned my world upside down, and you are

    { JONAS MENACES}My mind raced as I considered the options. Reasoning with Jonas seemed impossible, but a direct confrontation was out of the question. Ineeded a plan that balanced both."Alright, let's gather everyone in the room," I said, looking determined. The crew moved to a hidden part of the classroom where we could discuss our next plan without being overheard."First, we need to find out where Jonas is holding Rosetta," I began. "Diana, can you get close to him and see if you can find any clues? You’re his sister; he might let something slip."Diana nodded, her face grim. "I’ll do my best. But if he’s involved in something big, he might not tell me everything.""That’s where we come in," Richard said, his voice steady. "We’ll need to keep an eye on Jonas without him noticing. We can set up a surveillance network around his usual haunts. Zack, you’re good with tech. Can you handle that?"Zack nodded. "I’ll get my equipment. We can cover the campus and any other places he frequ

    { ROSETTA KIDNAPPED }I slept with a smile on my face after I and Rosetta had made love. It was the first time we actually got intimate. I stared into her eyes all night before she finally fell asleep. The sound of the alarm woke me up, and I looked beside me. "Where is she?" My eyes flashed around the room as I tried to wake up. I rubbed my eyes gently, and I noticed there was a bit of a scuffle on the bed. I couldn't believe I had one good night's rest in a while, and everything was going back to being war for me. "Rosetta! Rose!!" I shouted, getting into my slippers. I walked through the hallway and stairs leading down to the main room. I was surprised to see a lot of broken glasses over my chairs, and the house was a complete mess. I quickly went to my CCTV footage, and I noticed it had been fired. "Was I drugged?" I ran my hands over my hair as I stared at the television right in front of me. I knew I needed to find Rosetta quickly. I couldn't believe I let my guards down, and

    { JONAS BACK }The university semester was coming to an end. A lot of preparation was going on for the graduating students. My joy knew no bounds because I was finally stepping into society. But little did I know a brewing storm was ahead. Many of the students were busy tying loose ends. Many were saying their goodbyes already, while others were focusing more on their studies. I knew I wouldn't have the power of the system again, so I need to focus more on my arithmetic. So far, Emily has been behaving herself, and I noticed that I couldn't find Alex and Jonas inside the school. I was just coming out of my department when I met with Emily. "What about Jonas and Alex? I don't think I have seen them this semester." I raised my eye brows. "I don't know. I promise to tell you everything, but recently, I noticed Jonas had been . distant. Do you want me to help you track them?" Emily looked at me."Track them? I thought you said you knew everything about them. Why are you really here, Emi

    { BETTER DAYS IN THE CAMPUS}The university was becoming stable, with each student minding their own daily activities. I walked through the corridor of the university, and everywhere seemed peaceful. I decided to sit down, and I looked back to when I became a part of the university. I remember being nothing, a loner who had always thought of staying low throughout my days here. I looked up to catch some of the pretty girls staring at me, and I laughed. I was becoming more of an icon by the day, with many of the students looking up to me. I felt a hand over my eyes, and I smiled. "Rosetta," I whispered softly, trying to get up to my feet. The hand moved slowly away from my face, and I saw it was Davina. "I think I told you to stay the hell away from me." I shouted in anger. "But I don't want to, Fred. I realise my mistake, and I would like to make amends. Can't you just give me the chance for old-time sake?" Davina said it with a sorry face. "Do you think I can ever forget what you

    { JONAS'S PLAN } Flora sighed, her eyes narrowing as she weighed Emily's words. "Okay, Emily. I'll talk to Fred. But understand this—if he says no, there's nothing more I can do. Your actions will speak louder than your words."Emily nodded fervently, wiping the last of her tears. "Thank you, Flora. I won't let you down, I promise."They parted ways, and Emily felt a flicker of hope. But she knew she had a long road ahead of her. She returned to Alex and Jonas, who were waiting for her back at the mansion."Did she buy it?" Jonas asked, leaning forward.Emily nodded. "Flora said she'd talk to Fred. But we need to be careful. She's suspicious."Alex smirked. "Suspicion won't matter once we have control of the system. We just need to keep them off balance until then."Emily didn't respond. Her mind was racing with the possibilities and the dangers that lay ahead. She knew she had to tread carefully if she wanted to succeed with the plan. The plan was simple. They need to know if I stil
