MYSTERY THAT NEEDS TO BE UNRAVELED { BODY COUNT }I looked at the horror look in his eyes as I approached Aiden's dead body. " Call the ambulance!." I shouted looking at Xavier who ran back to my car to get his phone.The students all gathered to see what was going on. I looked around trying to catch a glimpse of Jonas or Zack. Aiden had died right on the spit Richard died. I wondered if he knew more than he was telling me. " You again?" I heard a familiar voice behind me and I looked back to see the officers once again " Looks like we have another suicide on our hands again," Max said aloud. " And you are at the scene of the crime once again," Pontius added as they looked at me in the face " Did you see what happened to him?" Max askedI shook my head and looked at Xavier " Did you?" "Of curse not, we were both together when this happened," Xavier replied looking at Aiden's corpse as he was moved into the ambulance I looked up and saw Jonas and Zack approaching us " Looks like
BEING IN THE SPOTLIGHTI could hear the umpire calling the figures 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, before he could count 10, I staggered up to my feet and the student shouted again. I looked at Titians and I noticed my vision was a little blurry. I need to make sure I don't get hit in the face again and also protect my ribs. I stood still and waited for him to attack instead of don't after him Titans laughed seeing I had given up. He ran towards me and I gave him an uppercut sending him up into the air.I followed him and gave him the find blow as he landed on the floor. The umpire rushed towards us to see if he was still breathing. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, the umpire shouted raising my hand into the air. I winced a lot showing a sign of pain but let out a smile as the people rushed into the arena once more to congratulate me. I looked around and my eyes locked with Davina. I could see she was not remorseful for what she did to me but I didn't care. I was going to make her world cr
FAME OR POWER The blinding flashes of cameras continued as reporters bombarded me with questions. I shielded my eyes from the intrusive lights and tried to make sense of the chaos around me. Xavier immediately swung into action doing what I had paid him to do."Fredrick, how does it feel to be the new sensation in the fighting world?" one reporter shouted.I took a moment to collect my thoughts before responding, "Honestly, it's overwhelming. I never expected this level of attention."Another journalist pushed through the crowd, thrusting a microphone in my direction. "Are you ready to face Jonas in the finals? He's known as the best fighter in the school."I nodded, trying to exude confidence. "I'll give it everything I have. Jonas may be tough, but I've got my reasons to win."As the reporters continued their barrage of questions, Xavier stepped forward, acting as a buffer. "Alright, folks, give him some space. Fredrick needs time to process everything. There will be plenty of inte
I looked back to see a stunning lady. " And you are?" I asked staring at her face " I am Cassandra." She said with her hand extended for a handshake. " Do you know me?" I asked again Thomas walked in on us and smiled " Hello Cassandra. How are you doing?" Thomas hugged her " Your friend here is way sensitive. Tell him to ease up." Cassandra said with a smile looking at me " I am sorry about that. I am just weary of everyone around me. I am Fredrick." I said gently stretching my hand for a handshake " I know who you are." She replied shaking hands with me. " Oh, you do!" I said with surprise " Everyone does now fighter boy. You are way more popular than you know." Cassandra said eyeing me " Can I see you in private?" I looked at Thomas " Why? We can talk right here. Cassandra is family." Thomas replied, looking at me. I made a gesture I would like to talk to him in private. " You can talk now." He said looking at me " I just received a call from Mr Dickson a few minutes ago.
THE SHOWDOWN { ROSETTA'S PAST } The noise coming out of the campus was enough to shake the whole city. I looked around to see many banners of my pictures and Jonas facing each other in the final rounds. Many reporters and well wishes were in the school. Mr Dickson's words played like a stereo continually in my ears. I feel agitated each time some of my fans come to me for an autograph or picture with them. It was too sudden for me. I sat down inside my former dorm and looked at my phone. I tried to access my gaming system but to no avail. I got scared " This is the time I need you." I said, tapping the screen It would have helped me try to train more with the help of the system. Jonas had been Xavier with ease Although I knew he was going to beat him, I still wish Xavier had won. Facing off with Jonas was going to be hard and I knew it. I heard a knock on my door and I ran to open it. Thomas had promised to come and train with me a little more before the finals. I looked at my wr
LEVEL UP! { TIER 4 }I looked at her and cupped her face gently in my hands " I will pay your debt but you need to promise me you would help me fight him. They had ruined many lives and too much blood was on their hands. Aiden is dead." I said with a sad face " I know. He was killed by Jonas and tossed off the school building. Just like Richard was killed." Rosetta said resting gently on the wall. " You knew about Richard's death?" I looked at her and she nodded. " Why didn't you say anything? You might have helped the police with their investigation." I replied Rosetta looked at me " I heard you also saw what happened. Why didn't you say anything?" " I did but then I saw Jonas was a friend of the policemen who came to inspect the scene of the crime" I looked at my wristwatch and we had just two hours to the event. " You see nervous. Do you think you can win this fight?" Rosetta asked looking at my face" I will try. I am not losing you to Jonas." I took my phone and called Thoma
THE FINAL BATTLE I looked at Jonas as I walked into the fighting arena. I was a little nervous but I was confident than usual. The noise died down as the M.C. took his mic again. " The fight we have all been waiting for is here. Jonas the undefeated champion against Fredrick the challenger." I heard some of the crowd chanting Jonas's name. I looked among the crowd and saw how many there were. I tried finding Thomas in his seat but I couldn't I looked at the VIP seat and I saw Mr Dickson and some new faces. " Who the hell are these guys?" I said looking at their faces. I saw Rosetta was equally seated among them. I looked at Jonas and he smirked " I am getting her back to where she belongs. She doesn't belong to you and you know that. I won't only win but I am going to humiliate you." " Do you have a hand in the death of Aiden? And why did you kill his sister? Do you think you can really get was from all of this?" I asked looking at him with anger I noticed the more I was angry
FIONA'S DEATHI opened my eyes and I found myself in the gaming system. I felt a little shocked and wondered what was going on. I looked at the floor and I saw it was the combat arena. I touched my eyes and I noticed the gauze was still there and it got painful but I could see through my injured eye. I heard the noise of the spectators and I heard the referee's count down. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, I stood up before he counted the last number. I heard Thomas's voice "You can do it, Fred." I looked around but couldn't see anyone except I and Jonas in the combat ring. Jonas looked at me and wondered how I got up on my feet. That was his super kick and I managed to stand up back. The hole in my chest blinked and it immediately changed my physical appearance into my gaming avatar. I looked at myself and smiled, " I love this outfit." I said with a smile [ SYSTEM TASK : DEFEAT JONAS AND EARN A BODY SHIELD ][ SYSTEM LEVEL: TIER 4 ][ BODY DAMAGED; ONE EYE ][ FINAL ROUND ]I looked at
