He quickly sprang into action, determined to save Old Mike and complete the task assigned to him by the system. Suffer from a 99% loss of his good life? Never. Adams boarded a cab that drove him directly to the highway. He arrived just in time to witness the blast of both cars. He watched the car and truck fly to the sky and then back to Earth before it exploded. His heart ached. He remembered Evans George's orders. How can a man be so heartless? With adrenaline coursing through his veins, Adams raced towards the burning car, ignoring the warnings of the onlookers.What am I supposed to do now? I can't possibly jump into that fire, right? How do I save this damn old man?[What are you implying? Don't forget you have the skills and abilities of a ruthless young Master.

He felt as hot as hellfire. The heat that leaked from his pores was so powerful that she did not dare breathe, afraid that she might suffocate from his overbearingness. What the hell is wrong with this man?There was no one to answer her questions. Adams pushed open the door before either of them could react. He was standing tall and faint, staring at the armed men expressionlessly."Let him go!" He commanded.The men were taken aback.HAHAHA!!Their laughter resonated in the valley. "Let him go? Do you think we came here to play? Our boss asked us to capture you and bring you to him alive.
Taking out a bottle of mineral water, Adams Smith gulped down the entire content before relaxing. His mind wasn't as hazy as it was. He was now clear-headed. He closed his eyes to take a short nap.

"I was supposed to return to A City using our family's private jet. However, Mother just had to insist I leave on the public train. Yes, a train! A fucking TRAIN!! Who in this world will believe that a famous diamond jeweler, Lorenzo Jamie, will be taking a public charcoal train? Not gasoline, diesel, or an electric train, a God damn charcoal train."Lorenzo was irritated as he spoke. Adams just looked at him without saying anything. He knew Lorenzo was no different from a kid. He was spoiled and treated as a prince from birth. It was mostly due to his poor health."So what happened?" Adams probed."I was on the charcoal train. I sat on the wooden chair while thinking about my mishandled diamonds. Those batches of pink and red diamonds had been properly secured. I mean, they were being transported by Haze's men right? Who would have dared to steal it? Sigh! In the end, I was too tired of worrying about my billion-dollar diamonds and I wound up falling asleep."Lorenzo paused before co
Adams' Room:Glancing through the dimly lit room, Ashley Woods felt her heart race. The room was quiet and full. The walls, unlike other rooms, were painted in gray and silver. The room was lifeless. She placed her hand on the table, and a smile soon spread across her lips. The door of the bathroom opens. Adams stride out, a white towel dangerously tied around his waist. His body has beads of water. And there were droplets of water from his hair. "Why are you here?"Adam's baritone voice was deep. He casually walked forward, nonchalant and unbothered by her presence in his room. "To return your this." She held the chain up for him to see. Adams reached out to take it wBut she withdrew her hand."You're lonely Adams. You don't have to pretend in front of me."Ashley walked closer to him."I know I was wrong in the past. I did a lot of bad things and you probably dislike me for it which is acceptable. But, we're still friends, you can talk to me."She was now close to him. Ashley hu
Disclaimer: Mature Content Rated!In a dark room, the only source of light was the moonlit and the vague yellow lights coming from the lampshade near the bedside table. Two shadows could be seen, standing close to each other, one figure was a woman and the other one was a man."Can I kiss you?" she whispered almost inaudibly, glancing up at him from under her brows while smiling teasingly. Her eyes showed intense admiration for the man before her."I don't kiss a naughty girl. Go to sleep now." A baritone voice was heard in the silence of the night.He was about to turn and leave when the girl grabbed his elbow to stop him from leaving. She narrowed the distance between them.Rising on her tiptoes, she slipped one arm around his neck and one at the back of his head. She pulled his head and stretched upward to kiss his lips. Her kiss was light at first, leaving him completely stunned but at the same time, wanting more.She didn't know what got into her when she made that first move. Th
Disclaimer: Mature Content Rated!Sunrise:At about 8 am, Adams woke up with a throbbing headache.Ugh! He felt it was unbearable. He sat upright and discovered he was putting on any clothing. That was weird! He had never slept naked before. He massaged his forehead and made to get up but noticed a hand crossed around his torso. Adams was so startled that he moved some distance away."Awwn, You're finally awake." Erica laughed."Good morning Adams. And Happy Birthday to you." She pulled the duvet, covering her nakedness and he was left with nothing to cover himself. Adams instantly felt shameful. He was embarrassed."You're so bold and shameless. It's no wonder your boyfriend dumped you. He must have been scared for his life." He felt a headache. Erica pouted her lips in dismay. She was reminded of her cheating boyfriend.Adams picked up his messy clothes and put them on. Erica was the red-haired lady he had met at the point of sale where his dollar change was transferred to his accou
Lorenzo looked at the map on the screen, studying the layout of Sector 4. The anomaly was located in the heart of the sector, surrounded by a maze of dark corridors and narrow pathways.“Time to get moving,” Lorenzo muttered. He set off towards the anomaly, his footsteps echoing through the empty corridors. The air was thick with an eerie silence, and Lorenzo's skin crawled with every step.As he walked, the darkness seemed to grow thicker, like a living entity wrapping itself around him. Lorenzo's heart pounded in his chest, but he refused to back down. It's either KILL or BE KILLED.Suddenly, the lights flickered and died, plunging the corridor into total darkness. Lorenzo froze. His senses were high on alert.“System, what's going on?” he whispered, his voice barely audible. But he got no response. Lorenzo was frightened to the bones.[Power outage,] [Backup generators online.]The lights flickered back to life, casting eerie shadows on the walls. Lorenzo's eyes adjusted slowly,
A Series of zeros and one danced on a huge screen in front of him. The numbers began merging, forming circles and triangles. Lorenzo saw the wall and the floor reflecting the same thing that was showing on the huge screen in front of him. He was amazed and dumbfounded. His eyes were wide open in disbelief. The circles merged into rings, and the triangles positioned themselves around the circles, forming a strange symbol. Blue light emanated from the screen, the walls, and the floor. [Welcome to the system, Lorenzo Jamie] A metallic and robotic-sounding words reverberated in his mind, prompting him to look around the place. ‘What the hell am I doing here?’ Lorenzo wondered as he stared at the place. The last thing he recalled was making a deal with the rich man in Province Y, who had asked for him to create a custom red diamond jewelry set for his wife as a gift for another wedding anniversary. How did he end up here wearing a ridiculous outfit? Where is this place? His dream!? L
While at Erica's house, she was still bewildered by her discovery. She heaved a sigh of relief as she watched Adams successfully clear off the threat.Bianca soon arrived from the kitchen with a platter of fruit. She dropped it on the table and then bent to peek at Erica's game.“Funny! Aren't you getting too obsessed with handsome guys!?” she chuckled as she stood still and then strided to the bed.“Who gets tired of seeing handsome faces?” Erica sarcastically responded without taking her gaze off the screen.She leaned back in her chair, a triumphant grin still plastered on her face. But her joy was short-lived.The game's interface began to distort, pixels scrambling like frantic insects. Erica's brow furrowed in concern.“What the...? What's happening to the game” she whispered with her brows slowly forming a furrow.A system error message flashed on the screen:[FATAL ERROR: REALITY SYNCHRONIZATION FAILURE. ENTITIES HAVE BREACHED VIRTUAL BOUNDARIES.]Shit! Erica's heart sank. Sh
As the entity closed in, Adams raised his shield, bracing for impact. The creature's limbs clashed against the shield, sending shockwaves through Adams' arms.[Shield integrity at 70%]“Who are you?” Adams shouted, trying to distract the entity.[Insufficient data. Recommendation: Focus on combat.]The entity retaliated with a barrage of swift strikes, each one chipping away at the shield's integrity. Adams stumbled backwards, desperate to create distance.[Proximity alert: beetles regrouping.]The beetles, sensing Adams' weakness, began to close in once more. Adams found himself sandwiched between two formidable foes.[Recommendation: Utilize Power-up Spray to enhance combat capabilities.]Adams hesitated, unsure if the Power-up Spray would be enough to turn the tide. But with the entity and beetles closing in, what more choice does he have than to accept the system suggestions?“Power-up Spray, NOW!” Adams yelled, hoping for it to work. This realistic game was driving him crazy!![P
Watching the beast beetles rush towards him, Adams was confused about what to do.[Incoming Beetle, make use of shield and anti-bug spray!] The system’s synthesized voice echoed in his mind.Okay! “Shield and Spray,” he muttered but got nothing. Hah! What the fuck is happening? The beatles were already getting closer than before. [Warning: objects in the system are closer than they appear.]Adams immediately began to panic. He instantly recalled a game he once saw a group of youngsters playing when he went to print a report in the cafe.SHIELD!!SPRAY!!Adams yelled at the top of his lungs. His voice resounded in the system. The beetles seem to have been swept backwards due to the echo.[Shield request approved.]SWISH!!A large round shield appeared. Adams caught it and quickly belted it around his arms. Spray!! Where is the spray? The beetles were already catching up on him.SPRAY!!Adams yelled again.[Sprays available: Firewall sprays >Antivirus sprays > Bugs sprays > Debugging s
Adams stands tall, clad in a sleek and futuristic suit of armour. The armour is a polished silver colour with intricate circuitry patterns etched into the surface, giving it a high-tech appearance. The helmet's visor is tinted with a subtle blue hue, and the overall design exudes a sense of advanced technology and sophistication.The armour appears to be tailored to Adams' physique, accentuating his muscular build while also providing a sense of fluid mobility. The shoulder pads are adorned with small, glowing blue accents that pulse with soft, rhythmic light, indicating the armour's power source.On the chest plate, the word “Adams" was emblazoned in bold, metallic letters, serving as a symbol of Adams' status within the system. The armour's design seems to blend seamlessly with the digital environment, making Adams appear like a formidable, high-tech warrior ready to take on any challenge the system may present.Adams' eyes snapped open, and he found himself standing in a digital r
They were led by men holding bulletproof shields followed by the others who wielded a variety of weapons. Helicopters whirred in the air just as the entire warehouse was surrounded by cars, more armed men climbing out of it. The car headlights from outside had filtered inside the warehouse, as well as the helicopter light through the window on the roof. The sudden blast of light forced her to cover her eyes. Despite the chaotic sound of hundreds of footsteps coming from all directions, one pair of footsteps stood out in particular. This one was heavier than the others. She felt his overwhelming and authoritative presence before she saw his face. She felt her heart drum in anticipation of the familiar aura that was stalking closer and closer to her. She removed her hand and her heart skipped a beat when she saw him. Walking in his full glory, with long legs that seemed to stretch for miles, his suit jacket blowing in the wind, and hair swept to the side, was the man she had
"Mercy? What kind?" She pretended to ponder over the idea when in reality, her eyes were scanning the men advancing towards her.Just then, she realized the weird stance they were in and the expression they were trying to hide. Although it was barely noticeable, she saw some of the men's eyes flicker between her and the boxes that surrounded her.Was that why they were so wary? In the corner of her eye, she deduced that the lids on the crates were only placed haphazardly and that from where she was standing, she could easily reach out to get the contents."I'll have less of my men share you." While he answered her, he gestured to his men to spread out and approach her from all sides. Capturing a woman was usually easy, but this woman was unpredictable and slippery."Really? That's the best you got?" She asked and suddenly placed her hand into the crate.He panicked upon seeing that and screamed, "Grab her!"He was not aware whether she knew how to use a gun, but those crates were de
Erica concentrated on her environment.Only a handful of people knew that she had combat training and the circumstances of how she got it. None of those people would let this fact leak, and she was confident that whoever had planned on having her beaten into submission was not aware of that.Part of that training was being taught how to detect the presence around her. She counted at least 20 pairs of unique footsteps walking out of the room she was in.Their steps were generally heavier than the leader's and she knew that the burly ones were all used to straightforward beating, unlike the leader's more creative and brutal ways of torture.She faintly remembered that there were at least 30 men who had entered the warehouse which meant that around 10 people had been left behind to guard her.Peeling her eyes open by the tiniest crack, she saw there was no one within her vicinity.They had left her lying on the floor, seemingly believing that she was truly unconscious. Although she was
