Adams was driving the car at an extremely high speed, above the maximum limit. His head hurt and his heart ached.

He never had a smooth life but at the moment all he wanted was to return from five years ago, before he met Samantha and restart his life.

It couldn't have been a coincidence for Lorenzo and Aleric's grandfather to be people in the picture right? Tsk! His entire life has been controlled by someone.

First, his Mother, his father, and now, the damn system has completely taken over his life.

That aside, he now has to be extra protective whenever he goes out as there are people after his life.

All Adams wanted at the moment was to disappear from this world and never come back. He continued drinking and did not stop on the break even when he was approaching the bridge.

[System detects an unusual fluctuation of emotions. The system suggests you calm down and think about the future and not the past.]

Adams didn't. That's it. His life won't be controlled by anyone again. He owns h

    [Awwn, my knight looks so handsome and cool. Now let's protect the princess.]Adams is shocked! Is that the? voice of his player? Damn! That is Samantha's voice. Adams did not know when or why Samantha was gaming. For all he knew, Samantha hated video games and despised them whenever he decided to have some fun by playing them at home while they were still together. Adams wondered why he was surprised. The system must probably be behind it.{Damn! That looks ugly! Why would someone dress a cute guy like that? This hero looks like the man I had a nightstand with. Don't worry, I'll dress you up perfectly.}It was another voice that Adams was familiar with, Erica. What the hell? Adams is astonished.

    (System, I want this character to be mine alone. Give me some privacy with my MAN)[System is processing your request.]Samantha couldn't wait to get their response. She was pissed by Erica and her words. Samantha was feeling agitated. She did not know why Erica's words got on her nerves so much. Perhaps it was because Adams had been unwilling to meet or see her over the past few weeks of trying to approach it. It was even worse that his secretary had feelings for him and would never let her meet up with Adams. Samantha believed that if she was given a chance with Adams, he'd fall for her just like before. In her world, she believes he wasn't willing to meet her 'cause he's afraid of falling head over heels in love with her.Samantha wants this man all for herself. His usual attention, his love, his influence, his power, and his money. Each time she was alone, she reminisced about moments when she had Adams Smith properly wrapped around her fingers.He would do anything and everythin

    PURPLE BARBIE WORLD!! It was a fantasy dream world. Adams wasn't a fan of Barbies but he was captivated by the sight before him.Purple Barbie World was a fantastical and vibrant virtual realm filled with colorful landscapes, towering castles, and magical creatures.The sky was a brilliant shade of lavender, with fluffy clouds floating lazily overhead. The grass was a rich shade of emerald green, dotted with colorful flowers that seemed to glow with an otherworldly light.The architecture in Purple Barbie World was whimsical and enchanting, with buildings adorned with intricate designs and sparkling gemstones.The castles were grand, magnificent, and majestic, with towering spires and shimmering turrets that reached towards the sky. The streets were bustling with activity, as NPCs (non-playable characters) went about their daily routines, adding to the lively atmosphere of the world.Magical creatures roamed the land, from graceful unicorns with shimmering coats to mischievous fairies

    With only a little time left, Adams knew he had to be fast. He had exhausted his love points and only had ten love flowers. If he doesn't act quickly, he'll be trapped in this game for the next seven days. Adams couldn't imagine that happening. Although this place is a dream world, he didn't plan to spend any more time here. "You saved me." Princess Snow's voice was meek. A little hoarse from having tried to fight off the bad guys earlier. "It's fine. I hope you're okay!" It was a kind gesture yet it made Snow's heart flutter in her chest. This character is so good-looking. Is this how good-looking the owner is in real life? Snow smiled coyly. "I... I'm okay. Thank you, if not for you, my hard work would have been stolen. I owe you a lot." She was shy. Snow did not dare hold his gaze again. Despite both characters being unreal. She thought it was bad enough that she had black skin and black hair. What right does she have to look at a character as handsome as he is? Adams could

    "You're finally awake!" Aleric exclaimed. He was close to tears. This friend of his had kept him worried for hours. He was afraid like the doctors have expressed, he won't make it. Luckily, Adams is a fighter who won't give up on his life just like that.Adams Smith looked around the place. He is surrounded by white walls. He remembered the feeling of waking up and seeing himself dressed in a hospital gown.Streams of events soon flooded his mind. He recalled he attempted to commit suicide. That was insane since he cherished his life way more than anything else in the world. Why did he attempt self-homicide? It was abnormal and he couldn't point a finger at the reason why."Yeah, I am awake." His voice was surprisingly soothing, not a bit like that of someone who has been in a coma for the past seven hours."Great, I'll call the doctor." Aleric rang the bell. His hair was disheveled and his suit was unkempt. It was clear how worried he was."How long have I been here?" "Seven long ho

    There was a knock on the door. A luxurious food tray was pushed inside. There was a red velvet cake in the middle of the platter. The trolley was pushed in by a man in a waiter's uniform. Seraphina is surprised to see the red cake. She'd ordered a chocolate and banana layer cake. She wasn't expecting it to be covered in red velvet icing sugar."Here's your order," the delivery guy bowed. He turned around and hurriedly left. He was putting on his uniform and a face mask."It was sugar-coated with red? That's weird." She laughed. "Anyways, since it's still not midnight yet, there's still time to celebrate your Big 30. Congratulations on successfully reaching adulthood."CLAP!!CLAP!!CLAP!!Adams could only shake his head in despair. The people surrounding him are either dangerous or drama queens. What's with being a full-grown adult at 30? He still recalls that one is an adult at 18 and a full-grown adult at 21.Adams didn't mind Seraphina's childishness. "Alright, let's do this quick

    Adams looked around where he had found himself. The underground basement was dark with several containers. He noticed Aiden wasn't present.BANG!!Aiden emerged out of nowhere. Adams took a breather."Brother, did you hear that sound? I think there's someone here!" "How's that possible?" loud footsteps echoed. Adams gestured for Aiden to remain calm. They were both standing there. Adams sucked in a deep breath.Aiden was staring at him."Activate Invisibility Mode." Aiden silently gestured at him. Adams paused for a while. He soon realized what Aiden meant. He recalled Aiden had once spoken about invisibility pills but he didn't fully listen to him when he was talking.Isn't there supposed to be a pill that needs to be swallowed before one can become invisible? Adams was slightly confused."You have already activated A Master's System. It comes with a whole bunch of packages and modes which includes invisibility mode."Adams' mouth formed an 'O'System, Activate Invisibility Mode![S

    Adams felt a wave of disgust and horror wash over him as he realized the gruesome contents of the box.Preserved human genitals? What kind of sick and twisted operation was going on here?He quickly looked away, feeling sick to his stomach. Aiden, who couldn't understand why Adams' expression suddenly became so ugly frowned.“What's wrong?" He probed. He tried looking into the box but couldn't see anything.“Everything here is wrong." Adams turned to look at Aiden.“This box… it contains human body parts.”Aiden gasped in shock. What? Human body parts? For what? Is there something like an occult going on here? Adams knew they had to act fast and report this to the authorities. This was not something he could handle on his own. He quickly deactivated X-ray Vision Mode and turned to Aiden, his expression serious."We need to get out of here and call the police. This is beyond anything we can handle," Adams said, his voice filled with urgency.Aiden nodded in agreement, his face pale w

    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.

    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.

How did he end up here wearing a ridiculous outfit? Where is this place? His dream!? L

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...?

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 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.
