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 was beyond mad at the moment. He was about to curse at them but felt something vibrate in his pocket. It was his phone and the vibration was to notify him he only had one percent battery remaining.“You still have your phone. Quickly call someone to help us.”Anna was the first to speak. Lorenzo without any hesitation quickly placed a call to the last number on his call log. Coincidentally it was Rick's number.“Someone will come here later. Now let's just leave!"His phone turned off as he passed the message.“Leave where? You must be joking to think you can escape without being caught.” The leader suddenly came from behind. They were shocked. It was so because none of them heard the footsteps of someone approaching them.The leader shot in the air. Seconds later, they were immediately surrounded by heavily armed men. Neither of them knew how these men managed to multiply their numbers. There are now almost twenty of them.“Hands up!" They pointed their guns at them. Sera wa

    “Ohh!"Adams sat on his bed. He laid on his back.“Alright then, keep an eye on her for me.""Yes, Young Master.”He didn't say anymore and was laid quietly on the bed.“Do you… need something?” Aiden probed but got no response.“How about getting someone to find out about Aleric's situation? We can all depart to rescue him.”"Yes, Young Master.”[No!!]Adams' eyebrows furrowed. Why? Isn't saving Aleric at the moment what I need to do? [Are you his FATHER? What's your relationship with him? Friends? Best Friend? It doesn't count as a relationship though there's a ‘ship’ in Friendship.]Adams was stunned by the system. He immediately sat upright.Are you sure you're functioning properly? How can you say there's no relationship between us? Aleric is just like a younger brother to me. Shouldn't you have understood that a long time ago?[ALERIC KYLES CHRISTOPHER.

    Adams looked at his purchases. Indeed the items have exceeded the amount that could fit into the size of the table for two.“Young Master…” Aiden was also speechless. His young Master dared to be so audacious to order so much despite being an extremely stingy man in terms of spending money.It could only mean one thing… Aiden was angered. Why is it always him? Can't the system notice there's also a person named Aiden in it?“No. Does Harville Restaurant have takeouts?" Adams inquired.The waiter nodded."Yes. But that'll be an extra cost.”Adams was satisfied with the answer. “Great! Pack whatever remains for me to take back.”“Sure. Young Master Adams Smith. Do you have any other orders?"“Yes, help me deliver one thousand takeout dishes with exquisite food to the orphaned and the poor across A district of A City. Bills on whoever is pay

    Adams was a bit at a loss. A few hours ago, he was in this man's body, disguising himself as he was and creating gaps between the George Family's father and son. Now, he's met the real person. [6 minutes remaining to complete the task.]Adams was stunned. Four minutes has gone by so quickly?Shit! Lovely Young Master Mode Activate!“Darling, are you okay?"Adams hurriedly approached Stacy. He held her up from a crawling position and helped her wipe her clothes. Aiden was so shocked that he almost vomited. What shit did he just do here?“Didn't you say you only want to see your father? How come you're crawling out? Tell me, did anyone try to make things difficult for my queen?"Aiden almost spat out blood. Stacy was so shocked that she took a frightened step back and appraised the face of this man. With just a glance, she recognized him.

    Adams didn't say a word and just quietly sat there, waiting for her to finish up and leave.“Mhmm… it's because I'm not a member of the Jarrod Family. Precisely, I've never been treated as a family before. I'm just a tool for them.”Stacy was nonchalant as she spoke. Perhaps the pressure from the Jarrod family has weighed her down so much that she could no longer endure.“I was seven years old when I brought my David Jarrod into the Jarrod family from the orphanage. The main reason was that they needed me to save their daughter, Stacy Jarrod. Due to excess blood loss while giving birth, the Madamé of the Jarrod family didn't make it.The real miss of the Jarrod, Stacy Jarrod, had inherited the panda blood from her mother, thus, when she had gotten into an accident, David Jarrod couldn't save her.

His breath was ragged, and every inch of him screamed in agony. He barely had the strength to stay upright, let alone move. Then, the system’s notification popped up, and his gaze sharpened. "$1000?" he muttered under his breath, grimacing. That was a lot. Did he even have that much? His mind raced as he forced himself to focus on his status screen. _Currency:_ $940 + (300×6) His tired eyes widened slightly. "Wait..." He did a quick calculation in his head. _$940 plus (300×6).

    Aleric's eyes blazed with rage as he summoned the last vestiges of his strength. The system's warnings still echoed in his mind, but he decided to push them behind him. This wasn't the time for him to heed the system's warning. He either finished them off, or they finished him, and he couldn't let that happen. They can't outdo him when he is younger and immature, outdo him in real life, and then outdo him in the game. IMPOSSIBLE!!. {Skill Activation: Abyss Breaker} The air around him seemed to tear apart, revealing a dark, swirling vortex. His veins pulsed with otherworldly energy as if the very fabric of reality was being channeled through his body. Aleric's mind flashed back to the countless hours he spent playing HQ Virtual Game. He recalled the Master skills he learned, the strategies he employed, and the victories he achieved. The memories flooded his consciousness, imbuing him with a sense of confidence and purpose. With a battle cry, Aleric launched himself at his brothe

    Aleric groaned, pain thrumming through his skull like a war drum. His fingers twitched against the broken planks under him, but his body felt sluggish, unresponsive. His brother’s punch had carried more weight than expected, like getting hit by a damn truck. [Warning: Adrenaline Surge Required. Do you want to activate the Emergency Protocol?] Emergency Protocol? That meant pushing his body beyond its limits. That was just Risky. Dangerous. Way too extreme. But if he didn't act now, he'd be done for. "Activate it," Aleric growled, wiping blood from his mouth. [Apex System Protocol: Emergency Surge Activated] A violent jolt ripped through his veins. Heat flooded his limbs, numbing the pain and sharpening his senses. His heart pounded faster, his vision clearing in an instant. The world slowed. The eldest brother loomed over him, with muscles that showed his veins, a sadistic grin stretching across his face."You never learn, do you?" His fist came down, aiming straight f

    The world shifted again. The damp, eerie swamp vanished in an instant, replaced by something else. Aleric found himself standing in the doorway of a dimly lit room, his breath catching in his throat. He knew this place. The familiarity of the place could never leave him. The torture. The suffering. He couldn't ever forget.His room. His old room. It was smaller than he remembered, the walls a lifeless shade of gray, cracked in places where time or rage had left its mark.The wooden floorboards creaked beneath his weight, some loose and splintered, as if they had been stomped on too many times. A battered bed frame sat in the far corner, its mattress sagging in the middle, covered in old, faded sheets.The desk against the wall was overturned, its drawers yanked out and empty, just as they had always been when someone had taken whatever little belonged to him. The only source of light came from a flickering bulb overhead, casting long, shifting shadows across the room. They str

    Aleric barely had a moment to breathe before the system screen pulsed again, the translucent blue shifting to an ominous red. [NEW THREAT IDENTIFIED: OBSIDIAN STALKER – LEVEL 7] [Time Limit to complete the task: 5 Minutes] Tf!! His stomach clenched. Level 7?! He had barely survived the Level 3 creature. How the hell was he supposed to handle this? “No way! You must be joking! Give me a break. Yes, I know I have to complete ten tasks, but it doesn't have to be back to back-, okay? I'm still recovering.” [Request Denied!] And then, the world changed. The golden desert flickered and melted away, the dunes collapsing like sand slipping through an hourglass. The ground solidified, turning into rough, uneven stone. The sun above flickered, replaced by an eerie twilight, casting the world in a deep purple hue. A humid breeze rolled in, thick with the scent of damp moss and decaying wood. Aleric's boots scraped against the jagged rock as he steadied himself. Hell!! The desert wa

  • 110 - Aleric In The System

    Aleric Kyle Christopher's head felt like it had been stuffed with cotton. One moment he'd been—well, he wasn't entirely sure what he'd been doing. The memories were fragmented, like pieces of a shattered mirror. He remembered traveling to the city to visit a friend, though the name and face escaped him. There had been a counter, drinks flowing freely, and a beautiful woman with eyes like amber. The bathroom. Her lips against his neck. Then... nothing. Now, he stood in the middle of a vast desert, the sun beating down mercilessly on his exposed skin. Sweat immediately began to form on his forehead, trickling down his temple. "What the actual hell?" Aleric muttered, shielding his eyes from the blinding sun. He spun around, searching for any sign of civilization, but there was nothing but sand in every direction, stretching toward the horizon. A translucent blue screen suddenly materialized before Aleric, hovering at eye level. [Welcome, Aleric Kyle Christopher, to the APEX Survival

    Baxter's eyes scanned the horizon, taking in the endless dunes of sand that stretched out before him. The sun beat down relentlessly, making the air shimmer and dance. He squinted, raising a hand to shield his eyes. "Where am I?" he muttered, looking around for any sign of civilization. The NeuroSpark System's interface flickered to life, displaying a message before his eyes. [Location: Desert of Eternal Storms. Warning: Hostile creature detected.] Baxter's head snapped up, his senses on high alert. He scanned the horizon, searching for any sign of the creature. And then, he saw it. A massive, serpent-like creature emerged from the sand, its body undulating as it moved. Its scales glinted in the sunlight, a dull bronze color that seemed to absorb the light around it. Baxter's eyes widened as the creature charged towards him, its jaws open wide. [Threat detected: Dune Wraith. Level: 5. Health: 500. You're at risk of losing.] The System's interface beeped urgently, displaying t

    It was a small patch of skin, tinged a sickly grey, nestled between the creature's emerald scales. Baxter knelt beside the massive beast, his heart racing at the thought of what he had to do.“You’ve got this,” he murmured to himself, bracing for the final confrontation. Suppressing the lingering pain from the creature’s earlier attack, he focused all his remaining energy into his hands, the crackling electricity intensifying until it vibrated in the air around him.With a deep breath, Baxter pressed his palm against the discolored patch on the Chimera’s neck and unleashed a concentrated bolt of electricity. The moment it made contact, the air around him shattered with a brilliant blinding light. The Chimera shuddered violently. Its body convulsed as arcs of electricity coursed through it, illuminating the veins of energy visible beneath its scaled skin.Baxter’s eyes widened in disbelief as the creature’s muscles tensed, twitching uncontrollably before suddenly going still. The onc

    Baxter's eyes darted around, trying to pierce through the mist and identify the approaching threat. The forest was eerily silent now, save for the occasional snap of a twig or rustle of leaves. "Okay, Bax," he muttered to himself, electricity crackling between his fingers. "You've got this. Just stay calm and—" A blood-curdling screech cut through the air, sending chills down Baxter's spine. He whirled around, just in time to see a massive, bat-like creature swooping down from the canopy above. Its wingspan was easily fifteen feet, and its leathery wings ended in razor-sharp claws. A long, serpentine neck extended from its body, crowned by a head that was a nightmarish fusion of bat and reptile. Rows of needle-like teeth glinted in its gaping maw as it dived--- --bombed towards Baxter, its talons outstretched and ready to rend flesh from bone. Baxter's newly upgraded reflexes kicked in once again. He dove to the side, rolling across the forest floor as the creature's claws raked th
