INFINITE SKILLS SYSTEM: DORIAN FLINT'S RISE TO AWESOMENESS. Chapter 12: "You're fired."
Luigi was not happy when Dorian came back and the words were uttered immediately he stepped foot into the pizza shop."You're fired."The policemen came for him after that. They were already lurking in the background and the moment Luigi fired him, the system rang in Dorian's mind too.A bad feeling crept up the side of Dorian's spine and he waited for the system to tell him his time was up. He'd die now and it would all be because he lost his girlfriend to a richer guy and lost his temper too. Now he would die because he lost his job. The system did nothing like that. It was dead silent as he was roughly shoved and manhandled into a car by goons.It was silent when he was driven not to the police station but to an abandoned building and beaten almost half to death.Dorian didn't shed any tears as he endured the beating and brutalizations. The thugs in suits left him for dead on the floor of the building and Dorian drew in a deep breath. The dust from the hard rough floor went straig

The bath he had when he got home didn't do anything to cool the boiling in Dorian's blood.The cheap dinner of ramen and boiled eggs he had didn't help either. After two hours spent doing his workout routine, Dorian took another shower, dressed himself up and stepped out of his apartment with a baseball cap on his head.His messy dark curls peeked out from under the cap but as long as it stayed on his head, he didn't care about that. The system's voice rang in Dorian's mind again and it didn't sound concerned even though the questions it was asking sounded that way.~Don't you think you're being hasty about this, Host? You should be catching some rest. You were beaten up very badly a few hours ago y'know. ~Dorian nodded and descended the stairs of the one storey building that was his place of residence."I know. But that doesn't mean I have to let it affect me. I'm okay now. I'm ready to look for another job."~It's nighttime, Dorian.~Dorian chortled and stuck his hands into his po
INFINITE SKILLS SYSTEM: DORIAN FLINT'S RISE TO AWESOMENESS. Chapter 14: "You're what?"
~You’re not considering this, are you?~Dorian stared at the rickety old cab and found himself fixated by the color and the paint on it. It wasn’t good at all.The paint was peeling off. Like actually peeling off the same way a damp wall would bloat up and then the paint would slowly begin to fall. That was the same thing happening to this car. The morning air seemed to lend Dorian a clear mind and the warm sun on his neck made him optimistic.“How much do you wanna sell it for?”The older man standing beside him scoffed “Sell it? who said I was going to sell it?’Dorian stared at the half-busted car and grimaced. “What are you planning to do with it then? Not sell it? Is this thing safe to go on the road?”“Do you want the job or not, kid?”There was some bite to the man’s voice now and Dorian could tell he was getting annoyed, but did he really have a reason to be annoyed? This car looked like something that would fall apart in a moment and for him to take it on the road as a cab….
INFINITE SKILLS SYSTEM: DORIAN FLINT'S RISE TO AWESOMENESS. Chapter 15: "How pathetic."
The cab man did touch up the car a little.“It’s all I could do, okay? I’m not exactly heavy on cash or funds at the moment, and repairs cost a lot..”Dorian directed mildly sleepy and still bleary eyes to the man and he nodded.“It’s the best you could do, I understand.”The other man’s expression seemed to relax a bit after that and he and Dorian conversed freely from there on. He asked. “Are you sure you’ll be able to get 250 dollars daily? That could be difficult, don’t you think?”Dorian couldn’t help the light sneer that lined his lips as he looked away from his new employer. Why was everyone suddenly developing a conscience? First, it was the system and now it was this man.Doerian shrugged and stuck the key into the keyhole of the driver’s door.“I’ll be fine. 250$ a day shouldn’t be a problem.”The system chortled and Dorian found himself frowning lightly as he opened the door and got in. The system’s cheeky voice rang out in his head.~Carry on. I’m not interfering.~Dorian
INFINITE SKILLS SYSTEM: DORIAN FLINT'S RISE TO AWESOMENESS. Chapter 16: CONGRATULATIONS HOST DORIAN.
“Can I tell her to get down?”The system remained silent and Dorian sighed as he kept on driving. What kind of luck did he have?His first customer just had to be his girlfriend, right?Amelia was sneering and looking at the interior of the car like she would rather be anywhere else than here. She wasn’t dressed up much, but she looked pretty all the same.Dorian found his repressed emotions coming to the forefront again and he didn’t want them to.He was doing this to forget her. To show himself that she never mattered to him and that her betrayal did not hurt him nor did it affect him in any way.But how was he supposed to do that when the girl who betrayed him was sitting behind him and she was muttering all sorts of shit!!“Is this cab even yours? You barely had money to feed me when we were together. I hope you didn’t steal this deadbeat crap of an automobile. Horace would never drive something like this.”At the mention of the name Horace, Dorian felt his blood begin to boil.“D
INFINITE SKILLS SYSTEM: DORIAN FLINT'S RISE TO AWESOMENESS. Chapter 17: “HE SAID IT SAYS DORIAN! HAHAHAHA!”
Dorian groaned and threw his pillow at the door.“Urgh what the hell! Why’s everyone making so much noise!”He opened his eyes and directed a glare at the door. What the hell? The noise wasn’t even coming from the door but he just wanted to throw something at something. The infernal squealing was coming from his window and the sound of excited chatter was almost too much for him to bear.Dorian got up from his bed and stomped to the door. He flung it open, yanked a shirt off the overhead hangers he kept, and stomped down the dirty hall and rickety stairs to see what had gotten all his neighbors into a stir. They barely gathered, and never so much that they’d make a hell of a noise that would wake him up this early in the morning.~Dorian?~Dorian grumbled a reply to the system ~Not now.~ and continued with his annoyed stomping.The moment he burst out of the main entrance the sun hit him full on, and it didn’t hit just him, it hit the gleaming new car everyone was currently crooning
INFINITE SKILLS SYSTEM: DORIAN FLINT'S RISE TO AWESOMENESS. Chapter 18: "Can i sell it?"
“Wha…. how… how could that wretch own a car like that!” Dorian simply leaned on the door of his car and watched his landlord throw his tantrum. He didn’t know how the car was his, but he’d be damned if he stopped his landlord from making a fool of himself. The man caught sight of Dorian’s light sneering and he pointed accusingly, in the most dramatic manner. “Ah hah! I knew it. You’ve been selling your body haven’t you!” Everyone gasped and directed looks of scorn at Dorian but a firm female voice rang out immediately at that moment. “Enough!” All the people present darted their eyes toward the source of the voice and seeing it was Mae, the looks on their faces quickly turned neutral. Who wouldn’t wipe off the displeased look on their faces when Mae was glaring at them? Dorian watched as the female walked over to him. There was something strange about Mae because here she was, pretty as sin and in a sheer nightgown and yet unbothered and able to command the attention and respect
INFINITE SKILLS SYSTEM: DORIAN FLINT'S RISE TO AWESOMENESS. Chapter 19: “I’m sure we’ll meet again Dorian.”
“We’re here, Miss.”Dorian turned to look at his dazed and amazed passenger. He felt some pride flowing through him at the look on her face, because sincerely, who wouldn’t?He was riding a Maybach!“Ca.., can I get your number so you can become my Uber driver?”Dorian felt himself perking up at the sound of that. He did this yesterday, right? This was a sign that he was a good driver, yet Dorian felt doubt creep into his heart the more he thought of it. He took a good look at his passenger and inspected the smile on her face.She was young, about his age, but people always said he had an old soul, so maybe that was why he was able to spot this female wasn’t taking his number because the ride was smooth? No, it was something more than that. Dorian watched as she squirmed under his watch and darted her eyes away each time they met his. If she really wanted his number just because of the ride, then she wouldn’t be feeling so nervous.That or he was just paranoid now that he had a Mayb

Chapter 63: "Alright. This way please."
“Thanks.” Dorian appreciated one of the maids who happened to hear them, and opened the door.He walked out with Rayah, Mr. Grayson’s daughter, to the sitting room where Mr. Grayson was waiting.“I almost thought you changed your mind and left.” Mr. Grayson chuckled, and stood up. “You should get someone to fix that door.” He instructed one of the maids.He had been informed that Dorian hadn’t left, but was trapped in the basement with his daughter.“Alright, let’s leave.” Mr. Grayson urged, and then Dorian followed after.They got to the car, and Dorian sat at the driver’s seat, while Mr. Grayson sat back at the backseat.“If you don’t know the way to Grayson Tech Company, then you can use the map, Dorian.” Mr. Grayson informed, and Dorian nodded before he started the car.He didn’t need to use his phone for the map, but he decided to use the system to direct him. The system displayed an easy to understand map, and this made Dorian’s drive, smooth.Mr. Grayson was quite pleased with

Chapter 62: "What?"
Dorian got down from bed, and headed out of the house, without taking Max along with him. He knew that there was a tendency that Max would make him feel like an idiot for going to meet Amelia, so it was best to avoid that.He got to his Maybach, and drove off to the park which Amelia wanted them to meet at. According to her, she was there already, and wasn’t going to keep waiting for long.Soon, he got to the park, and his eyes scanned everywhere in search for her before he spotted her, sipping an orange juice, then he walked up to her.“I’m here. What do you have to show to me?” Dorian asked immediately, not wanting to spend more than a minute, here.“Easy, easy.” She said, staring at him like he was a weirdo, then her eyes drifted off to his Maybach, and she scoffed.“I still wonder how you got that Maybach. Whoever lent you the car must be really stupid. Tch!” She commented badly, and rolled her eyes.“Is that what you came here for? Let’s get right into what you called me for, Ame

Chapter 61: "I want us to meet."
Soon, Dorian and Mercury got to Mr. Grayson’s mansion. Dorian was ushered in to the sitting room, and asked to wait for Mr. Grayson.The mansion was truly a mansion, and had beautiful interior decorations. The marble floor looked squeaky clean, and the white-painted walls gave off the vibe of a wealthy home.The pretty chandelier that was hung on the ceiling, added classic beauty in the home, and then Dorian’s eyes fell on the big frame of a photo of Mr. Grayson, and his beautiful daughter.He stared at the photo, and he smiled. He could tell that her father loved her very much, and that showed how lucky she was, to be born in a home like this.“Dorian Flint.” Dorian heard his name, and a chuckle followed after.He looked in the direction of the voice, and stood up as he discovered it was Mr. Grayson. He was quite surprised that the man knew his full name.“Uhm… I’m sorry. I sort of did a little dig on you. Come on, have your seat.” Mr. Grayson urged as he carefully sat down on the so

Chapter 60: "Let's go."
The dinner went by fast and since it wasn't really a dinner, Dorian found himself dumbfounded until he finally got home and went to sleep.Dorian’s eyes fluttered open as the warm sun rays shone on his face. The system had explained later that the change into a human had been a test of a one time feature. It would finally choose a true form finally, but not until he had earned it. Dorian stared at the ceiling, and was reluctant to get up from bed, but as usual his thoughts were interrupted by his phone’s beep.He reached out to get his phone, and opened the text which read:“Hello Dorian Flint, this is Mercury, the man whom you thought was stalking you a while ago.Please, I’d like to meet you regarding a very important discussion.”Dorian pondered on this message.Why would the man would want to see him? He was sort of skeptical about it. He didn’t know how to react. Then another text popped up. It was an address.The address of the restaurant which the man wanted them to meet at.

Chapter 59: "Give me a name."
Dorian felt sick to his tummy, and wondered if his misery had decided to come back for him. There was no way he could contact those men who had abducted he and Dave as that was the only lead, he had.He tried to track the cat again, but the same X sign came up on the system, and he slammed his hand on his face, feeling frustrated and helpless.He had lost interest in meeting Mr. Craig as he felt that the connection, they might have together might not last long, due to the unavailability of the cat in his life.Dorian plopped down on his sofa, thinking of what he could do, or if he just had to wait until the cat came back, if that’s it wandered away for a while. But a text interrupted his thoughts, and he was surprised to see Mr. Craig’s text again.“I’ll be expecting you shortly, Mr. Flint. We have a lot to talk about.”Dorian sighed, and stood up on his feet. His curiosity had just been piqued again by Mr. Craig, and he wanted to know how important the meeting was.Dorian walked over

Chapter 58: "Bullshit."
Dorian’s eyes widened for the first time in a while and he let out a silent breath.Craig Tech Industries. That was a fairly big name in the city’s tech sector.“It’s nice to meet you, Mr Craig. I’m Dorian Flint.”Craig Thian replied with a chuckle, “Yes, we know that, Mr. Flint.”Craig Tech Industry was a popular industry known for producing one of the best tech products, and it got Dorian wondering why he contacted him, or how he got his number.“To what do I owe this call?”Dorian’s question was one of fifty percent interest and seventy percent caution. The equation was unequal, but he had to be careful here.“I’d love to meet you regarding something very important Mr Flint. I do hope you’ll be able to create some time here for us at Craig Industries, and then maybe we’ll be able to talk over a cup of coffee.”The suggestion seemed innocent enough yet the moment Dorian heard it the only that came to his mind was that he was going to be kidnapped.The system’s chortle was the only

Chapter 57: "I'm Craig Thian."
As was always the case when the leader of a gang was stupid, the coughing started and Dorian watched as those under Matthew Don struggled to organize themselves and get him to safety fast enough.They bumped into each other, crashed into one another, the whole situation was confusing and there was an added sense of chaos because Matthew wouldn't stop coughing.Dorian watched as all this was going on and he caught Dave's eyes from the corner of his vision.Dave was staring at him weirdly, and truthfully anyone in that situation would.Almost like Dorian had known this would happen he kept on a calm expression all through the ruckus. Something different was on his mind. Getting Matthew to have a coughing fit that would almost take his life didn't mean they would get released.Obviously, this was only occurring to him right now because he always forgot to think things through.Dorian cursed under his breath and hoped that this would play out the way he wanted it to.Dorian stared at the

Chapter 56: "You only live once."
Dorian smiled at this information.This was what he needed to get at the leader.This was the power of the destroyer system.Or at least one aspect of it.Dorian could feel something pricking him in his heart at the fact that this man had a daughter he was taking care of. Someone he was trying to better.Something like fear ran through his heart at the fact that he would have to repay this use of the destroyer system, especially when he didn’t know what the price would be, and especially when he knew this feature was a malicious one.Dorian looked up at the smirking man and responded,“Yes, I am awake, and don’t you think I need answers to my questions?”Dorian could see Dave stiffen beside him but he ignored that reaction.It was better Dave was out of the line of attack. Dave on the other hand was busy wondering what Dorian had in mind. From the time of the ambush and their subsequent kidnap, only one thing had been running through his mind, the fact that he had to escape this.Lif

Chapter 55: "Best of luck Host."
In the middle of a situation like this, there were only two options. Defend, or run.Dorian chucked the other option into the trash bin because it was obvious that wouldn’t work. How fast would he be able to move before a bullet went into his leg? Or spine?Plus, Dave was here. Even if he was to use the aerial surveillance feature to evade the shots, Dave would be collateral damage.“Back away from them really slowly.”Dorian whispered those words under his breath and he was pleased to see Dave got them and was now obeying them.To keep the strangers distracted, Dorian did the one thing he had never really done in his life.“Who the hell are you guys, and what the fuck do you want from us!” Shouting.Shouting when no one else had raised their voice in a situation was a surefire way to aggravate your opponents, and get hurt if your bark couldn’t back up your bite.Oddly though, the lanky man at the head of the group simply chuckled and slickly put his lean mean looking gun into the be
