{ AN UNKNOWN GAMING WORLD }I woke up the next day, humming to myself. I danced around my room at the thought of seeing Diana at school. A part of me wishes I could forget my revenge and just focus on the love that was blossoming between me and Diana. My phone buzzed, and I saw a message appear on the screen. My mind raced a bit, and I wondered what the message was about. It has been weeks now since the system reached out to me. Another upgrade, maybe? I wasn't just a beginner anymore, but I was rising in the ranks. I looked at the message and saw it was from Diana. "See you at school." She blew me kisses, and I smiled. I went through the other message and saw Thomas's message. "Has he bitten the bait?" I typed back, telling him Mr. Dickson had promised to close the underground. I knew it was more like I was destroying all evidence to nail him. The thought of how to get everything that happened on a video camera never crossed my mind. "I just need to find Flora. She would serve as ev
{ A NEW DARK GAMING SYSTEM}[FIGHT FRED! FIGHT] I heard a voice inside my head, head, head, and I plunged at the gamer right in front of me. "Am I starting a new competition inside the gaming system already? I took some blows and finally knocked my opponent out. [SYSTEM REWARD: $35,000,000][SYSTEM NOTICE: YOUR REWARD WILL BE SENT TO YOUR ACCOUNT] ACCOUNT] ACCOUNT] [NOTE:[NOTE:[NOTE: YOU ARE TO SPEND THE MONEY WITHIN A WEEK] [CONGRATULATIONS; NEW AVATAR UNLOCKED] I opened my eyes slowly and saw that I was back in the hospital. I looked beside me and I saw Diana seated right in front of me. I furrowed my brows. I could have sworn I heard Rosetta's voice when I was being wheeled into the hospital. I groaned gently as I felt my head throb. Diana opened her eyes and looked at me. "You scared me, honey. Are you alright? Does this have anything to do with your weak heart?" Diana asked, asked, asked, and I smiled.smiled.smiled. "I am fine. Can we leave now?" " Leave? You are going to get
{ ENTANGLED RELATIONSHIP}I woke up the following day, and I felt like not going to school. We were done with the examination, and the fear of checking my result scared me. My phone beeped, and I remembered the message I had gotten from the system. "What is this dark gaming system all about? And why would anyone want to create something destructive?" I asked myself as I hit the shower. As I scrubbed my body, I remembered why Diana had told me about her father. Do I need to play the fool to get closer to her father? Our relationship was strictly based on a bargain. He had fulfilled his part of the deal, and it was left to me. Although he hasn't said anything about locating Flora, I held onto his balance. My phone rang again as I woke up in my bedroom. Thinking it was Diana, I decided not to pick it up.I gently went over to the mirror and looked at the hole in my chest. I saw the light was changing from blue and was showing double colors. I wonder why it was two colors. [YOU NOW HAVE
{ FLORA RESCUED}We heard a whistle and looked around. We had been surrounded. "I would take it slow if I were you." I looked back and saw Jonas walking towards us. "Where is the rest of the money?" he asked with a sly smile. "We had a deal. I should have known Mr. Dickson isn't a man to be trusted." I looked at Jonas, and he hit me in the face. Zack snarled at him, and Jonas's minions brought him down to his knees. " Whooooo! I have been wanting to do this." Jonas laughed I saw Mr. Dickson walking out of the shadow. "I wasn't expecting you to come with Zack. I guess you are in a hurry to be reunited with your girlfriend. Do you think she is alive?" Mr. Dickson asked, and one of the boys brought him a chair. "I know you stole the funds. Where is it?" He asked with an angry face. "What are you talking about? You know I was in the arena fighting with Titus. I don't think I have the power to be at two places at a time." I replied, spitting blood out of my mouth. "Bring her!" Dickson
{ CLOSE TO DEATH } Zack plunged towards Diana as both of them clashed in a bit of a battle. The battleground intensified as both tried to prove they were better than each other. Diana was a better fighter, and he managed to have Zack pinned in no time. I had taken back my body from Shadow Blade. I looked around me, and it was a mess. He had destroyed everything in his path. Mr. Dickson was lucky to have escaped with his life. I walked towards the car and saw Diana standing over Zack. "I think I told you to leave!" I shouted angrily at Zack. Diana looked at me and smirked. "What are you going to do? you can. Either take the car and drive out of here, leaving Zack, or you fight me for his life." Diana said, looking at me. "I thought you loved me once; was that all a lie?" I asked as I kept walking towards her. "First, I didn't love you. You are just nothing like my type. The point is getting to know more about you, and I think I do already." I looked back, and I saw Jonas walking
{ AFTERLIFE }PAST 2HOURSMr Dickson asked me how I came across my wealth and I tried to stall. " Do you think your friends are coming to save you? You are all alone boy," he shouted angrily I wanted to call out Shadow Blade but I couldn't. I remembered the new rules that came with the system upgrade and it came like some visual message to me. I have used both Shadow Blade and Claw at the same time. they needed to be recharged after one hour. I know stalking Me Dickson for an hour was not something I could do. " I don't know why I think I can make you understand me. You are just a boy. How did you manage to kill Titus because I know he is a good fighter just like you are." Dickson clenched his fist in anger " You can either join me or be killed. " I looked around and I saw there was no escaping. All the entrances were barricaded with men holding guns. Part of me wish I had the power to disappear but I couldn't. " Do you want to know why Titus died?" I asked looking at Mr Dickson'
{ BACK TO THE WORLD }"it is not about being possible or not because the Avatar is now in your world." Shadow Blade looked at me. "come." He said again and I followed him. As we walked, I was surprised to see a lot of system revenge systems and even updates. " Are you supposed to be showing me this?" I asked looking at him "Yes, we all avatars had come together. Each fusing with a suitable host and together we are going to try and take down these rebels together." Claw looked at me " Don't tell me you are scared of just one Avatar when there are many lots of you. " I said with a smile and Shadow Blade's gaze looked stern. " You need to understand that the Avatar that got awakened and left the gaming world knows about all other avatars and their powers. Attacking us at our weakest is very easy for him and he will make use of every chance he gets to take us down. You need to be prepared for whatever is coming." Claw looked at me " You are our only chance. Help save the human world an
{ EXECUTING FIRST PLAN }I stood in the dimly lit room, my heart pounding in my chest as I waited for the mysterious voice to reveal itself. Suddenly, a shadowy figure emerged from the darkness, its form shifting and twisting like smoke. I tried to see it but I couldn't "You dare to defy me?" the voice echoed from the figure, its tone dripping with malice.I clenched my fists, determination burning in my eyes. "I won't be swayed by your twisted offers. I'll never join forces with someone like you. I know what you are truly after and I will not help you get it."The figure chuckled, the sound sending shivers down my spine. "You underestimate the power we could wield together. Think about what we could accomplish as one. People will marvel and bow at your feet. You will be one invisible not to state the fact that Dickson will be brought to know before you. isn't that why you are doing all of this?"I shook my head, my resolve unwavering. "I don't need your power to achieve my goals. A
