Adams settled into the back seat of the luxury Bentley Azure 2024 that he had driven over, his back against the soft and comfortable seat. Aleric took the seat next to him, leaving the car he had driven over.

“Where are we heading, Young Master Adams Smith?” Raphael, who was in the driver's seat, inquired.

“Where else? Damn! Can't you see it's already dark? Where do you want him to go other than his home? Quickly drive to his condominium,” Aleric reacted with irritation.

Raphael paid no attention to what he had said, instead gazing calmly at Adams through the rare mirror or the car.

Aleric rolled his eyes, annoyed by Raphael's rejection. He tapped Adams on his shoulder and said, “Get this big guy to start driving,”

“To my condominium in the east!” Adams resignedly waved his hands at Raphael, not opening his closed eyes.

“You own a condominium in the East?” Aleric asked with skepticism. The last time he remembered, Adams condominium was on the west coast, some distance away from 'G C

  • 133 - A Ravager

    Adams’ vision flickered.One moment he stood in blazing neon, the scattered remains of beetles dissolving into blue sparks, the last scream of the hostile entity fading into silence, and then…Everything went black.A sharp, low hum rippled through his bones. The ground beneath him shifted.And then, FWOOOSHCold wind slapped his exposed face as Adams staggered forward into a new world. Grass. Actual grass.Bright green, dew-soaked blades brushed against his armored boots. Towering trees stretched endlessly above him, sunlight dripping through golden leaves. The air smelled like damp soil, warm wood, and something faintly metallic.Adams blinked hard.“…What the hell?” His voice cracked in disbelief.He spread his fingers, touching the rough bark of a nearby tree.“This… this feels real. Like actual real.”Gone were the neon lights, the digital grids, and the echoing synthetic hum.His visor reflected natural sunlight for the first time since he’d woken up in the system.“System?” h

  • 132 - Remember Them

    Lorenzo didn’t stop.He slammed the Gravity Shard into the floor.A ripple tore through the Underpit. Reality buckled around the creature.Its body jerked downward, crushed under ten times the normal force.Metal groaned. Pipes warped.The Forsaken hit the ground hard, pinned in a kneeling position, mask sparking wildly.“HOW DO YOU LIKE TEN TONS, YOU BLIND BASTARD?!”The Forsaken’s claws gouged trenches in the steel as it fought the gravity field, inch by inch.Too close. Lorenzo felt his adrenaline ticking down.59 seconds…48…42…He rushed in with the reinforced spear. The Forsaken 14 slammed a claw into his ribs CRUUACK!Lorenzo screamed.He flew backward, rolling across the ground, coughing blood.Health: 310% → 120%He forced himself up, spitting red.“I’m… not… dying here.”The Forsaken tore free of the gravity field with a violent surge of rage.It stood. Mask glowing. Muscles bulging. A dozen voices screaming layered inside its throat.“…H O S T … M U S T … B E … C O N S U

  • 131 - Explosion Backlash

    The spear met flesh. Like pushing into a drowning man’s last breath. The Forsaken’s arm halted mid-lunge, more from surprise than pain.Its mask jerked toward Lorenzo, steam hissing out in furious bursts.For a split, time-stretched moment… Lorenzo felt powerful.Then the creature reacted.A backhand came faster than an instinct. Faster than a thought.It was a blur of black-red and metal.CRACK.The hit launched Lorenzo like a ragdoll. Everywhere first blurrr!He slammed into a rusted generator with a bone-rattling THUD and slid to the ground in a heap. Stars exploded behind his eyes. His lungs spasmed, refusing to inflate for a second that felt like someone pressing a gun to his skull.Health: 1025% → 880%He gasped, violently dragging air back in.“F–fuck ”He scrambled up just as the Forsaken 14 tore the maintenance shaft apart. Exploding out in a snapping thick steel like wet twigs.It landed on all fours, spine arching, with mask glowing with internal heat.“…H O S T … I N I T

  • 130 - The Forsaken 14

    Lorenzo didn’t have time to breathe.He didn’t have time to celebrate or even have the time to wipe the dust and psychic residue off his skin.The courtyard around him flickered like a dying light bulb struggling to stay alive then collapsed in on itself, pixel by pixel.Everything went white.Then [Primary Objective Complete.][Reward Dispensed.]A shower of golden numbers burst across his vision.[+ $5000 Added to Account.]Lorenzo blinked as his money counter jumped.Money: $3720 → $8720“Well,” he muttered, “at least the benefits are good this time.”The System wasn’t finished.[Health critically low: 25%.][Recommended System Purchase: Full Restoration Boost.][Cost: $1999][Effect: Increase current and maximum Health to 1000%.]“$1999 fuck!!

  • 129 - Three Kills

    Mason’s form dissolved completely, vanishing with a final, distorted shriek.[Entity: Mason. Status: Disrupted. Cooldown: 45 seconds.]Grant stumbled back, his form wavering but holding, a grimace of pure hatred on his face. “You’ll pay for that!”Derek hadn’t moved. He had watched the whole thing, his arms crossed.Now, he took a single, deliberate step forward, stopping just short of the electrified zone. His eyes weren't just glowing; they were burning with rage.“Clever,” Derek said, his voice unnervingly calm. “You used the environment. But you’ve forgotten something important.”He raised a hand, and the red light around him intensified, pulling away from the ground. The electricity fizzled and died. The cobblestones were inert once more.“The System isn’t a toy, boy” Derek continued, taking another step. “And neither are we. You’re not breaking a pattern, Lorenzo. You’re just playing our game with different rules.”Lorenzo’s small victory evaporated. He had taken one off the boa

  • 128 - Alive Again?

    Lorenzo’s blood ran cold. He turned slowly.From the dust, shadows twisted. Dark energy seeped from the ground, and the forms of Grant, Mason, and Derek began reconstituting. Their bodies became semi-translucent, outlined in flickering, malevolent red light.Grant pushed himself up, grinning wider than before, a jagged red crack spreading across his jaw where Lorenzo had struck him. “Didn’t think it’d be that easy, did ya?”Mason rose, the electricity from the baton now crawling over him like veins of blood. “That actually… kinda felt good.”Derek stood last, his eyes now glowing with the same crimson energy. “You’re not the only one who can use the System, Lorenzo.”The courtyard darkened. The air grew heavy with the scent of static and old blood.They were back. Stronger. Faster. And More brutal.And this time, they weren't just bullies. They were monsters.The System chimed, its tone urgent.[Stage 2 Updated: Break the Pattern.][Objective: Eliminate Re-Infused Entities.][Warning:
