“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
[To begin your cultivation of the revenge system requires using your golden finger to take revenge on every offender from your past to the present. To continue, choose ADVANCE, and to discontinue, giving you a chance to back away and return to your life from six months ago, choose RETREAT…]There were two choices. To return to his past life where he'll be mocked and ridiculed. Trampled upon by Evans George, mocked by his neighborhood, and cornered by Julius Parker.The life where he'll be the subject of mockery. Be cheated on by his beloved and get heartbroken. What'll become of him if he finds out in the future that Sam has cheated on him? Will he go to the bar and drink without being able to pay for his drinks?And then will he be saved from the thugs, hospitalized in one of the best hospitals, and unable to pay his bills? He definitely won't get a system again if he chooses to retreat. What treachery would his life follow if he didn't have a system?Adams dared not think about it.
“Oh my, Hendrix!! What in hell is happening here?" With one last kick in the ass, Evans stood up from Hendrix's body. He was panting and sweating."Evans! Oh, dear! You now beat up your father?”"Hello, Uncle Jarrod!”“Shit! You still have the guts to call me Uncle Jarrod. You unfilial child, although Hendrix might be wrong, you just have to bear with him.”David Jarrod squirmed. Evans looked away from him.“You, go down and wait for me." He patted Evans on the back. Evans rolled his eyes at them and swiftly left his room without looking behind.Sam also followed him. Evans was walking with full might. Samantha struggled to catch up to him.“Oh boy!” David helped Hendrix up."Look how badly you've been beaten. Don't you know you're old now and your bones are weak? How could you have the heart to fight with your son? That's not cool?”"My Son?” Hendrix scoffed."I used to think he's my son but he isn't anymore.” David wound up chuckling as he patted Hendrix on the shoulder."Oh Georg
“Evans don't be rash. I don't want my baby to be born fatherless. I can set up the room for you, don't do anything…”Samantha's words were caught halfway when the loud growl of the men echoed in the room.Bang!Argh!Pain! Evans was like a monster that had been let out of its cage. His every fist hit hard, causing the men to recoil in men.John was thrown backward, his back collided against Evans' dressing mirror. Evans picked him up. He slammed him against the wood yet again causing it to fall apart.SPIT!!John spat out a mouth full of blood. His eyes were red and his clothes were tattered. Evans showed him no mercy. He held high expectations of John and didn't expect him to go against him just to please Hendrix.“Stop it! Ungrateful child." Hendrix on the side shouted. "I can't believe you'll pay back this way after years of bringing you up. You're not a filial child.” He continued to shout.Evans let go of John. He turned his gaze to Hendrix and quickly got to him. He grabbed He
A smile was instantly plastered on Adam's face. Aiden who was about to ignite the engine of the car scoffed in anger. He knew Adams would soon show off his cultivation skills. With annoyance, he invited the engine of the car and drove off at a high speed.“What do you think of my act today? I'll definitely make it to an A-list actor if I choose to go into an acting career right?"Aiden could only grit his teeth without responding.“Ahh! I now look like me." Adams grinned after realizing his skin wasn't as rough and wrinkled as it was a moment ago.“Tch! Your skin looks okay but your face is still the same. Including your height!" What!?Adams was stunned. Hastily, he brought out his phone and stared at his reflection. His eyes darkened as he glared at Aiden.“Hahaha! Just look how scared you were. It was an honor to have witnessed that!” Aiden chuckled happily. Adams wound up scoffing. He patted his shining jet-black hair with pride. Gawking at his handsome reflection, he was full o
Ahh!“What the hell! Who replaced my things?”Ashley's voice resounded from the second floor. Aiden, Adams, and Baxter stared at the stairs without saying a word.When did she get back!? Adams was slightly puzzled.Aiden recognized Ashley's voice. The annoying lady that keeps bugging his young master, Aiden, even wondered who, between Sam and Ashley, was more annoying.Ashley's heels clicked against the tiles as she descended the stairs.Adams and Aiden exchanged a puzzled glance at Ashley's sudden outburst. Aiden, always composed, stepped forward. “Miss Woods, calm down. What do you mean by ‘replace your things'?"Ashley took a deep breath, trying to regain her composure. "I had my belongings set up in the room I chose, but when I went back just now to shower and get some fucking rest, everything I arranged was different. It's like someone had been in there and rearranged my room without my permission."Adams furrowed his brow. "That's strange. We didn't touch your belongings, and no
No matter how much Lorenzo tried, the car didn't start. They all panicked in fear.Ann didn't seem to be much afraid of the situation but Ashley was already cursing at Lorenzo for being slow. She even called him a fool. Her attitude made Adams who was watching get annoyed.The scene continued. The men in the two cars alighted from theirs. They got up to the car where the five of them were and smashed the window.It didn't take up to two minutes before all five of them were thrown out of the car.“Which of you is Aleric Christopher!?"It was the question that got them quiet. No one spoke. Obviously, these people had come for Aleric.“No one is talking?"Slap! A total of eight burly men beat them up for five minutes. Sera and Anna who had never been treated so harshly before could only grit their teeth as they writhed in pain.Lorenzo, his parents' only child and the pride of his family was also in a lot of pain. Being a successful jeweler in the jewelry manufacturing industry, which is
“Damn! Not that bitch!" “What's wrong!?" Aleric asked Sera in concern.“Miss Woods seems to have been left behind!" Shriek!!!The car came to an abrupt halt as Lorenzo stepped on the brake panel."What!?” Both of them let out a shout. To confirm Seraphina's words, they turned to look at the back seat, Lo and behold, Ashley truly wasn't there."Damn! This is another reason why I don't like that two-faced Wood!" Lorenzo cursed. Through the side mirror, he noticed the group was already catching up on them, without thinking twice, he invited the car again and continued driving."We should have just listened to Annabelle back then and not brought her along. Just what kind of devil is she? Always bringing setbacks in our lives. Just like five years ago, she's back to cause yet another harm!”Lorenzo continued driving as he lamented. Suddenly, Aleric pulled the brake gear.“Are you crazy!?" All three of them shouted in unison as the car almost went out of control.“What's wrong with you m
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
