2025-02-06 08:55:59Dave opened his eyes with a sharp gasp. The pain he was feeling was gone.
Looking around him, all he could see was light. The place he was in was a plain white. He couldn't see anything else. He stared at his hands and at the familiar attire he was wearing. His plain attire. And then looked at his feet. He was standing on the plain light. Dave was shocked. He couldn't believe he was standing comfortably without any pain. He was confused. He guessed it could be a dream since he couldn't remember the last time he stood up like this. He was crippled after all. But then again, he could also remember the way he was killed by his wife and friend. Maybe He was dead and this may be the afterlife? While he thought about these, he heard a beep sound and then some AI like voice spoke. [Welcome! You've successfully Awakened An SSS- LEVEL ABILITY] [Would You Like to Activate The Pay- Back System Now?] Dave was confused "What the hell is this....?" [Welcome! You've successfully Awakened An SSS- LEVEL ABILITY] [Would You Like to Activate The Pay- Back System Now?] It repeated itself. Now Dave thought of something. He had casually seen those system stuff which was popular amongst the Gamers and all. Was he in the situation? "What are you?" He asked. [I AM YOUR SYSTEM, HERE TO EXCLUSIVELY ASSIST YOU] The voice said and now He was sure! it was a system! But Dave wasn't sure why he had it and what he was going to do with it. He thought he'd be in heaven or something but he was standing before a system? This made him wonder if he was really dead or something. "Why are you here?" He asked further. "And how did I awaken you?" [Having reached the peak of your life and at death's bed, you successfully activated me] [And I am here to assist you on your path of a successful rebirth] Dave was speechless. He could hardly believe what he was hearing. "So I'm dead?" [Yes, But you're about to get reborn soon! Just fully activate your mission and you'll be back to life!] The voice said. Dave paused.it sounded like a gift! An opportunity that was too good to be true, One that was hard to believe "How do I trust that this is real?" [You have nothing to lose if you try it. And like I said, I am exclusively at your service. So if you tune in, You'll fully be my Master] [The Master of A SSS ABILITY system that would help you Get back at your Feet, Make those who ruined you pay, while also leaping to the top] [You'll be getting the whole package!] The offer was tempting. Certainly something Dave wanted to try. He clenched his fist at the thought of what Jane and Ray did. He'd do anything to make them pay. Make them all pay. Dave said "How do I activate it?" He didn't bother asking much about the system and all. It's origin and all. All he wanted to know was that this system was here to help him jump back to life and get back at everyone who ruined his life. So of course he'd take it without thinking twice! [Welcome! You've successfully Awakened An SSS- LEVEL ABILITY] [To activate the Payback system, Pick One Option!] Immediately two buttons appeared before Dave. One with a YES inscription in green and another with a NO inscription in red. Without thinking twice, he picked the YES button! [Your PAY-BACK SYSTEM successfully activated. Setting up for Your first Mission!] Dave stared at the blue loading light that lasted for some seconds. And immediately, something came up before him. [Welcome to Your First Mission with a PAY- BACK system, To Proceed you need first to revive Yourself!] [Pick an Option!] Immediately two options popped up. The first which read: [COME BACK TO LIFE CRIPPLED!] A tag of FREE was placed at this Option. And the 2nd which read: [COME BACK TO LIFE WITH MY LEGS HEALTHY!] A tag of 1000 coins was attached to it! Dave tapped on the 2nd option endlessly but nothing happened. He was confused. [You need 1000 coins to proceed with this Option] The System said. Dave was shocked. "How many coins do I even have? [Opening your wallet..... You only have 100 coins which was a bonus for activating the SSS LEVEL ABILITY!] Dave was speechless. "That's unfair...." He thought. He couldn't believe he was forcefully made to pick the crippled option. But he didn't mind. As long as he could come back to life and get back at Ray and Jane, he was fine with that Besides, he now had a system with him, so in no time he'd get his feet back! So he picked the first Option that was free. Reviving while still being crippled. [Congratulations on making you pick. Now to the PAY BACK SYSTEM! You need to pick a route for your Mission!] Then two Options popped up again The first read: [ENFORCE "INSTANT PAYBACK MODE" AND MAKE YOUR ENEMIES PAY INSTANTLY] A FREE tag was attached to this. The 2nd read: [SAVE A YOUNG BOY WHO IS ABOUT TO DIE AT THE VINN HOSPITAL] A price tag of 100 coins was attached to this Option. Dave paused, staring at the two Options which he found odd. It was odd to place these two options together. The first was very tempting. It was exactly what he wanted. To make his enemies begin paying immediately! And it literally cost nothing to pick the first option. Isn't that great?? But then again, someone was about to die. It was at the hospital he worked at as a cleaner, but he didn't know the person. Dave wanted to pick the first. He told himself that he should be selfish and put himself first! He has been through hell in the hands of his shitty wife and friend, so he should make them pay immediately! But he also couldn't ignore the fact that someone was going to die if he ignored that option. And he knew he'd feel guilty forever if that happened. Closing his eyes and taking a deep breath, Dave clicked his choice. [Congratulations on making your choice of the 2nd option] [100 Coins deducted - Wallet Balance, 0]

I paid the doctor a hefty sum of money to get him to get rid of the body"Jane added "Besides, the pathetic cripple has no one who cares about him, so no one will ask after him"Ray smiled "That's good to hear.

Everyone there was shocked. "Poisoned?" Ms Anne repeated, confused. "What rubbish are you even talking about? I've examined and treated him for awhile now but there never was a sign of any poison! So what nonsense are you spilling!" James snapped. "There's been tests and all and no sign of poison so...what do you mean?" Ms Anne calmly questioned. "I told you ma'am that this crippled here is a Swindler! How could you trust him? He has no medical qualifications. He is just spilling trash!" James continued "Poison? What a joke! A professional like me has checked the kid and nothing like that!" James said feeling proud of himself. He felt that this person was trying to steal his spot to get Ms Anne's attention. So he had to drive him out. Dave didn't even bother talking to defend himself or whatever. Dave just took a scalpel and stared at the young boy's hand for a while.

Dave paused as he stared at the 1,000 coin pop-up information he got. He was surprised.He didn't expect that completing this mission would actually get him a reward. He was never told about it.He did it out of his will to help someone who was about to die, but he actually was rewarded. And it was a reward he was actually looking for.He simply wanted to use his skills. The hidden medical skills he had learnt and accumulated over the years. He wanted to put them in good use today as they came in handy.Who knew he'd also get rewarded for it?He smiled as he made his way into the elevator "This is great then. I suppose I can use this and get my legs fixed. I want you to open the option again and let me buy the option" he expressed.But the system didn't present the option to him.[Sorry, But the Store Option is Unavailable at the moment and can't be accessed!]Dave frowned "What? How is it closed when I need that at the moment?" He demanded.[Sorry, But the Store Option is Unavailabl

But Ray brushed the idea off. Dave was dead! And he saw it with his own two eyes! So it was definitely not him! Ray knew Dave had some medical skills, some great skills. That was even one of the reasons he had made Dave work in his Hospital! He had sometimes stolen some of his medical insights and used it to his advantage. Exploiting Dave of his skills and getting the glory for it! He kept Dave low-key so no one would know him. Including James. So he could easily use him and his skills to gain his glory. But still he doubted that it was Dave. He was dead after all. "So what are we going to do about that strange man? Should I look into him and crush him for what he's done to us?" James inquired. "Because of him, we're now scumbags in front of Ms Anne. And I doubt we'll ever get on her good side!" James added. Ray thought "I guess. Look into this guy and get me information when you find anything" "Sure" James agreed. Of course he was going to find this bastard that came to his

"Get out of the car now!" One of them snapped. The man seemed to be the leader and had a scar on his face. "What do you want?" She demanded from them. "You should give up attending the Charity Gala event this instant" one of the men snapped from the side. Anne heard what the person had said and instantly felt that these were being people sent by her competitor. She believed it was their tactic of stopping her from attending and participating. That instant, she wanted to call on some guards for backup but she knew it'd be too late. Before she'd get a backup it would have been too late.

"And what makes you so sure about what you're saying?" Someone in the crowd questioned."You're not even a doctor, so you're just blabbing rubbish here" Someone else added. "Exactly..this is a matter of someone's life. So what if you have someone killed, are you going to take responsibility?" Another questioned.They had questioned Dave's right to speak up in a situation like that. And others had supported as well."He is a talented doctor" Ms Anne suddenly spoke to from the crowd "And he can save the young girl. So let him do what he does best"They all knew Ms Anne but didn't expect her standing up for a stranger like that."And I'll take responsibility for anything happens to the girl" Ms Anne assured.Dave didn't say much but stared at Ray who was still looking at him.

Ray ran a hand through the kid's head. And he checked his pulse and all.After that, Ray started panicking a bit. Because he couldn't tell what was wrong with this kid!It was strange. Because Ray was at least a certified doctor, so he should know most cases and approach the basics!He should at least do basic stuff! But strangely he couldn't even detect what was wrong with the kid.He stared at the kid for a while. He couldn't let them know that he didn't know what was wrong with the kid.That would be something really embarrassing on his side!And so he began placing a hand around the girl's chest to see if there was anything he was going to find.He pushed down the girl's chest for awhile but nothing was happening. He panicked."Doctor! What's wrong?" Someone asked from the crowd."The kid seems to be having some sort of illness. A heart problem" Ray said still pushing onto the girl's chest hard."A heart issue?

Didn't you two spend the night together romantically sometimes?" He stared at her.The friend and wife had begun sweating at the moment.Now all their shady acts have come to light. Not only in front of them all. But in front of many people at the event!"You two!" The man snapped at his wife and friend "You two did these things behind my back?

Another agreed as they laughed aloud, grabbing the attention of people around."I mean everyone knows that you are shameless enough to do such a thing" One laughed."Stealing money from your in-laws and stealing more when you're caught and running away with the money. It's certainly something you would do" Another added, laughing."And can't you see how shameless he is?" Someone else pointed out, looking at Dave while laughing."He even crawled back home to lick his wife's shoes when the stolen money must have finished" The person said."Exactly" They all laughed. "what did you spend the whole money on that it finished so fast?" They asked."Drinks? Food? Or maybe a failed operation on your leg?"

Something she had saved for years to get!She didn't even know how to feel. She stood there like one who lost their lives. Staring at Dave and awkwardly at the crowd."Do you have any more pennies to add against this amount dear wifey?" Dave inquired, staring at Jane.Everyone was staring at her as well. Dave had intentionally thrown her in the spotlight knowing how awkward and shitty she was feeling at the moment.It was his way of shading her at their first meeting.Jane simply staggered backwards with no words.Dave smiled as he turned to the microphone.
