Hello!! #Spoilers Alert - There will be an arc in the story that will be focused solely on HQ (not now though). So I'd like to interact with my readers. Hehe, what are your fantasies? Do you also want to feature in the game and interact with the characters in the novel? Feel free to leave comments. I will involve everyone in the book... let's make it fun just like Princess Snow (smiling)!
"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
BANG!!BANG!!BANG!!The only door used to access the underground basement was kicked down. The door fell apart. Heavily armed SSS (State Security Service) Men dressed in their usual black uniform quickly sprang inside.“Put your weapons away and raise your hands!"The six men were stunned to see the SSS team. They failed to react on time and before they could, they'd already been surrounded.The leader was about to pull the trigger of his gun but realized he couldn't do it no matter how much he tried to. Suddenly he was punched in the face.SPIT!!He spat out a mouth full of saliva. Everyone was shocked. Who punched him? They had no idea.“Apprehend them immediately." The chief of the police security bureau shouted from outside the basement. The SSS team wasted no time and quickly handcuffed the men.“Dragged them out!" Aiden sneered. He went over and kicked them each on the knees. They all recoiled in pain at the invisible attacks.“Tch! Serves them right!" CLICK!!CLICK!!Reporte
“What do you mean?" Hendrix asked as he looked back at his son. Evans shrugged his shoulders, “I don't know. I just feel like you're wrong this time."Before Hendrix George could respond, there was a knock on the door.“Who's there, come in."The door was soon pushed open and Samantha emerged. She was still as pretty as she used to be, however, exhaustion seemed to be painted all over her face.“What do you want?"Seeing it was Sam, Evans was immediately irritated.“I came to tell you something important." Samantha did not beat around the bush. She'd stayed at the George Family's Mansion for months now. Although she wasn't mistreated, the scornful and hateful glare she got from everyone, especially the disgust from Evans, got her thinking about her past.Adams had never looked at her badly nor had he let others mistreat her. Although he had nothing and was treated like trash by everyone including herself, he made sure she got the best of himself for her.Placing down a pregnancy kit o
The study was pitch black. It was already night time when Adams and Aiden appeared in the room. The study room was a large and spacious room with rows of shelves and company materials. There were about three super computer sets arranged at the right corner of the room. This study room was nothing compared to Adams' that has been upgraded by the system, however, it still looked good. “There must be lots of traps here." Aiden remarked. Of course for someone with a complicated background like Hendrix George, there must be lots of confidential information hidden in this room and to protect it, security traps will be laid to prevent any intrusion. “Mhmm…” Adams didn't say much. He proceeded to the locker room. He had seen Hendrix George holding a black box while speaking with Evans during the day. He also remembered vividly how Hendrix had said he is currently working on creating a system that's close to completion. (Input Pupil Verification) Adams was stunned for a moment. Th
“You're awake," Aiden remarked with a smile. Eight hours have gone by since Adams fell into a temporary coma after absorbing the system from both of the disks.Adams sat upright on the bed. He looked around the familiar room. He sighed. Adams looked up at Aiden.“What happened?" He probed. Aiden was stunned for a moment. He stared at Adams. Aiden walked closer to Adams.He held his head and moved it sideways. Aiden closed his eyes and shook his head trying to reorganize his thoughts. Perhaps, he's seen wrong. But when he opened his eyes again, it was the same.“Are you sure you're alright?" Adams was baffled at Aiden's staring behavior.“What… what happened to you?”Adams frowned, wondering what Aiden was talking about."Your hair and Your eyes!!”Hearing his exclamation, Adams got off the bed and proceeded to the bathroom. He peered at his reflection in the mirror and was stunned. Adams is a handsome young man with smooth, silk-like, shining black hair. Brown eyes, tall with broad s
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
