INFINITE SKILLS SYSTEM: DORIAN FLINT'S RISE TO AWESOMENESS. Chapter 23: ~What are you doing Mr. Grey?~
“Excuse me, did you see a Maybach pass this way today?”The lady Dorian was speaking to stared a him strangely before shaking her head. She walked off before Dorian could ask another question and Dorian dug his fingers into his hair, letting out a loud groan as he threw his head back.Life was determined to frustrate him. It was clear now.Dorian stopped the next person he saw and as stared at them imploringly, “Please did you happen to see a Maybach pass this route today? It rounded this block twice.”The person sneered at him and scoffed, “Do i look like i spend my day watching the streets for what cars may have passed and which have not? Get out of my way before I hit you!”Dorian stepped out of the burly man’s path and let him go on his way.He had been elated when he figured out the system was pointing him in the direction of the drunkard he had picked up, but when he checked his cheap phone, he felt life bite him in the leg like a rabid dog.His phone had automatically cleared a
INFINITE SKILLS SYSTEM: DORIAN FLINT'S RISE TO AWESOMENESS. Chapter 24: “You said you needed my help, kid?”
“I need your help.”The moment the stock broker stepped into the car Dorian found those words tumbling from his lips. There was no time to waste really, and if he didn’t ask now then when would he ask?The stock broker was the same from last time, except he was a little different now. Instead of the black and white getup he had been dressed in the other day, he wore a striped shirt and green pants today. His stomach still seemed intent on bulging out, but it was clear there was a clearness to his eyes today. He wasn’t as intoxicated as the rest of his friends.A loud groan came from outside the door and the car rocked slightly as someone was pushed into it. A man landed on the seats, half awake and half passed out, his eyes already lidded with sleep.Another male got into the car and Dorian felt his chance begin to slip him by. The stockbroker man chuckled and jabbed his sleeping friend in the ribs.“Stay on your side ya big oaf. I didn’t ask you to drink half your life out.”The man

The next day, Dorian woke up early and caught a bus to the stock broker's office. They finally had a formal introduction in which the man introduced himself as Mr. Horace Walt, “But you can call me Walt, or Horace, whichever one is fine by you.”Dorian nodded and tried to keep his shoulders from shaking too much as different emotions coursed through him.Someone had searched his apartment while he was gone last night.Dorian felt the image of his room flash past in his mind again and he took a deep breath, because last night he got back home to meet his place trashed. His clothes were on the floor, his books were scattered all around, everything he had was in complete disarray, and someone had taken the money he was keeping so he could take it to the bank when he had the time.Horace Walt the stockbroker spoke at length about how they operated in the firm he worked in but all the while Dorian felt like the stockbroker's voice was just background noise.Whoever searched his things had

Dorian rushed to the policeman and exclaimed with a worried look on his face.“Hey, hey, excuse me sir. What’s happening here?”The police officer currently chaining a small barricade together around Dorian’s Maybach looked up at him and adjusted his belt as he rose, “Who are you?”Dorian felt his impatience trying to rise but he decided not to let it. “I’m the owner of the Maybach, and i have a ticket for parking here. Have I done anything wrong?”The police officer cleared his throat lightly and removed his glasses to stare at Dorian with heavy brown eyes, “This car has been seized. The young lady here phoned the police this morning to report a theft. She says this car has been stolen, so we’re investigating how true that is.”Dorian felt like he wasn’t hearing correctly, “Excuse me?”Amelia butted in with an irritated spiteful tone, “Oh stop with the pretense Dorian. We both know you stole this car. How could someone like you afford a car like this?”Dorian felt his brain stutter f
INFINITE SKILLS SYSTEM: DORIAN FLINT'S RISE TO AWESOMENESS. Chapter 27: "What the f***k Dorian."
The system tried to get Dorian to abort his current plan, but all to no avail. It even gave suggestions, ~You could go back to the man you got your first car from, Dorian. Losing the Maybach isn’t the end of the world!”Dorian chuckled as he took another swig of his drink. Even if it wasn’t the end of the world, it sure did feel like it.From a new sleek Maybach to a ragged old cab, he’d rather be paralyzed.~DORIAN,WHATEVER YOUR MIDDLE NAME IS, GREY, YOU LISTEN TO ME AND DROP THAT BOTTLE RIGHT NOW!~Dorian threw the bottle away and clasped his hands over his ears, suppressing a scream though it felt like someone had just set his eardrums and brain on fire. His read was ringing.“What the fuck system!”His mind rang like someone had covered his head with a bell and told Thor to give it a mighty strike with his hammer. The ringing intensified and Dorian felt his legs give out. He crumpled on the grassy floor of the park’s entrance and curled around himself, groaning in pain and trying
INFINITE SKILLS SYSTEM: DORIAN FLINT'S RISE TO AWESOMENESS. Chapter 28: "You've got yourself a car then."
Connor grinned as he handed Dorian the hangover cure and watched him gulp it down all at onceHe could tell Dorian wasn’t drunk, but since Dorian had insisted on it, they had come to a small store to get one. The female at the cash register smiled at him and Dorian, but while Connor smiled back, he found Dorian simply ignoring her. Once they were outside, Connor walked casually beside Dorian and asked, “Are you okay now?”Dorian nodded and took a deep breath wondering if he should thank or ignore this strange person. He could remember Connor, he was one of the people whose name and face had actually stuck in his head despite the long list of people he had driven.Connor said he had been in the small crowd that gathered to watch him and Marie, but he didn’t want to interrupt their conversation so he stayed hidden.Dorian had nodded and opted to walk off, but Connor had offered ice cream instead of alcohol so here they were, on their way to get ice cream after getting him his hangover c
INFINITE SKILLS SYSTEM: DORIAN FLINT'S RISE TO AWESOMENESS. Chapter 29: CONGRATULATIONS HOST!
Dorian went to work immediately.There wasn’t much time anymore for him to search for who had stolen from him as he planned, but he could always do that later if he was alive and unparalyzed. Dorian worked for a good seven-hour stretch and as the last second counted down, the system’s congratulatory jingle came up in his mind again as the world became highlighted in energy once more.[CONGRATULATIONS HOST DORIAN! DAILY HOURS SPENT USING SKILL: 7 HUMAN HOURS, ACHIEVED!DAILY INCOME ACCRUED FROM HOURS SPENT USING SKILL: THREE THOUSAND DOLLARS, ACHIEVED!+100 BONUS POINTS.+10 HEALTH POINTS.+5 AGILITY.+10 STRENGTH.DUCATI SUPERLEGGERA: 1,000 POINTS LEFT TO OWNERSHIP.CONGRATULATIONS HOST.]For some odd reason, this didn’t excite Dorian as much as it used to at this moment. Sure he was happy that he would keep on living, and he was happy that he had gained all those bonus points, but sometimes the system and all its rewards kept on feeling like something he didn’t understand and which
INFINITE SKILLS SYSTEM: DORIAN FLINT'S RISE TO AWESOMENESS. Chapter 30: [NEW TASK FOR HOST! NEW TASK FOR HOST!]
Dorian woke up the next morning to find a note at his door, sitting pretty underneath a cup of iced coffee. The note read, “I’m sorry for bailing out on dinner last night. Enjoy the coffee.” The system made an ick sound in Dorian’s head but he simply chuckled and tucked the letter into his pocket, heading back in to get dressed and head out for work. Connor had dropped six missed calls just this morning and Dorian frowned lightly as he stared at them. He decided to return them and dropped six missed calls of his own, hoping each time that Connor didn’t pick up. The system commented in a mildly irritated tone as Dorian chuckled, ~You’re going to chase your friend away with how awkward you’re acting. Who drops six missed calls back?~ Dorian shrugged and ignored the system. The ball of light came into being and it floated in front of Dorian’s face, ~Hey, you aren’t still angry at me are you? You can’t be angry at your own system.~ “I can if it tried to kill me.” The system seemed to

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

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
