INFINITE SKILLS SYSTEM: DORIAN FLINT'S RISE TO AWESOMENESS. Chapter 36: "So what do you need me for?"
Connor was already laughing with his friend over a couple cups of drinks by the time Dorian arrived and they welcomed him warmly.Connor asked how he found work today and Dorian said it was good, chuckling nervously at the fact that Connor had chosen to specifically ask him about work. Something about it was fishy, and when Connor finally pulled out a video that had gone viral on the internet and the city’s social media space today, Dorian finally took the drink they offered him and gave it a shy sip to mask his expression. That was the car alright.That was Connor’s car, the car he had lent Dorian for regular Uber jobs but which Dorian had now used to engage in a high-speed chase and even got on video.“The police are never gonna find that car.” Dorian choked on his drink slightly and pounded his chest as he asked, “W… what?”Connor’s friend who had made the comment chuckled and gestured to the video, “The car. The police are never gonna find it. The license plate has been blurred
INFINITE SKILLS SYSTEM: DORIAN FLINT'S RISE TO AWESOMENESS. Chapter 37: "Anyone in there?"
Dave bid them goodbye with a slightly wizened smile on his face and Connor booed him out of the bar and into a cab because it was obvious Dave couldn’t keep his drinks in.As Dorian chuckled, Connor grinned and wore a slight smile on his face, “Dave’s never been much of a drinker, but I guess that’s good. He needs his concentration for school and it’s better he knows resorting to alcohol will give him a killer headache.”Dorian chuckled bitterly as he commented, “Been there.”He and Connor began walking down a path and they spoke casually. Connor asked if he had made up with his girlfriend yet but Dorian scoffed and gritted his teeth in anger, “I’d rather kiss my father’s shoes than get back with her. She called the freaking cops on my Maybach, still don’t know how I'll get that car back.”Connor laughed lightly and swaggered forward with a slight bounce in his step, “Don’t worry, Conny’s got ya covered. You’ll get the car back.”Dorian nodded because for some reason he believed that.
INFINITE SKILLS SYSTEM: DORIAN FLINT'S RISE TO AWESOMENESS. Chapter 38: ~Have you ever thought of changing professions Dorian Grey?~
“Good morning, welcome to KYC news channel and I am Nadia Helio, thank you for tuning in. This is the morning news at 6. For the daily headlines, a man was found brutally battered in an alleyway of the bustling Torin neighborhood last night.Police say his nose was brutally broken, his jaw smashed in and several teeth missing. Speculation is that he was involved in a gang altercation. Further inspection of the unconscious male identified him as a member of the neighborhood gang popularly known as the “Blacktips” and inside sources say he is a high-ranking member, different from most low-level goons. Further investigations are still ongoing but our specialists say it is possible the injured man might face jail time after he’s been treated.Some…”Dorian cut off the video feed from his phone immediately and groaned loudly. He messed up. He messed up bad!The system commented from the bed it was seated on as that weird cat, ~I’m sure they won’t kill you so fast Dorian, they’ll probably
INFINITE SKILLS SYSTEM: DORIAN FLINT'S RISE TO AWESOMENESS. Chapter 39: +10 POINTS.
~This is bad. You know that right?~Dorian scoffed and backed his car into the parking lot, “You didn’t complain when I used it to make money before.”~Because you were in danger of death. It was fine then because you didn’t want to die, now it’s not because you’re just gonna make sure there are more drunk dolts like you roaming the city~Dorian kept his eyes on his approaching patron and judged the man’s outfit and his general demeanor. He didn’t look drunk, but drunk people barely ever looked drunk when they were suffering from a hangover and this guy looked like he was suffering from one of those.He opened the car door, plopped into the backseat, and gave only one command, “Drive.”Dorian nodded and obeyed because as the saying goes in the business world, “The customer is always right.”The system sneered and shook its head while glaring at Dorian in its mental space, ~Have you imagined what the world would say if they found out you’re doing this Dorian?~ Dorian chuckled and scoff
INFINITE SKILLS SYSTEM: DORIAN FLINT'S RISE TO AWESOMENESS. Chapter 40: "What's the DETECTOR FEATURE?"
The system was right.“What the hell could they want?”Dorian watched the black car steadily following him from his windscreen. All his attempts to get rid of the car had proved futile so far because no matter how many twists and turns he took, cutting tight corners just to veer off onto a hidden street or confusing alleyway that actually had an exit, the car would still follow him, hot on his tail, and almost mockingly persistent.Dorian released a low groan from his lips as he stepped on the pedal and sped the car up. There was nothing he could think of right now that would get him out of this fix because everything he could think of was already being steadily exhausted.Every option he had taken so far had proven to be ineffective in stopping the car from following him, “Do you think they’re following us?”The system chortled derisively and Dorian shook his head, clearing his thoughts and trying again, “Of course they’re following us. I mean do you think they have a tracker on us,
INFINITE SKILLS SYSTEM: DORIAN FLINT'S RISE TO AWESOMENESS. Chapter 41: "I'm not crashing the car."
Dorian didn’t crash the car.How could he crash the car? This wasn’t even his own car! This was Dave’s.Dave would still need to sell this car if he wanted to raise enough money to start school with and how would he do that if the person he gave the car to for the day crashed it?Connor would never trust him again. Dave would never trust him again. The two people he had spent such a fun time with yesterday would barely look at him again and was that what he really wanted? To become a loner because his crazy system wouldn’t make him trustworthy around a car?Dorian turned to look at the car and asked, “I’m not crashing the car. Is there a second option?”The system refused to give him a reply, so Dorian gritted his teeth and decided he would do nothing.Yeah, he would do nothing about the people who were following him and trying to track him. He would do nothing about the fact that his and the system’s life could very well be in danger right now. He would do nothing because the system
INFINITE SKILLS SYSTEM: DORIAN FLINT'S RISE TO AWESOMENESS. Chapter 42: "SIR YES SIR!"
*******************Mercury Skyscraper.Inside a lavishly furnished office-like room sat an old man. His eyes were sharp, his hair was slicked back, each and every movement he executed let those around him stand on edge like attendants at a high-risk event, yet anyone looking could see the tiredness in the man’s eyes.There was a weariness to his sharp gray eyes, something sapping the man of energy and which generally extended to his soul as well.The old fox of the Mercury Conglomerate was searching for someone, someone he had loved once but whom he had rejected at the start of their careers.Then his company had meant everything to him. His business had meant everything to him. His success had been the only thing he could think of.But years down the line he only wanted one thing back, one thing that had been waiting for him before but which he had turned down and which he would give anything for nowHis voice was still strong as he read the morning papers and asked, “Has he been lo
INFINITE SKILLS SYSTEM: DORIAN FLINT'S RISE TO AWESOMENESS. Chapter 43: "Is he even allowed to that?"
Dorian frowned as he stared at the time go by on his watch. The letter he opened wasn’t from his father. It had been from the police station.His father had sent him a warrant, or something that he didn’t really know the name to. The basis of it was that he would be arrested if he didn’t come back home. The old man had given him 24 hours to come back, crawling on his knees, or he would be thrown in jail for the rest of his life.“Is he even allowed to do that?”Dorian let out a depressed sigh as he nodded. “The neighborhood police are in his pockets. He can do anything he wants and no one will say a thing. I’m sure he has some cubicle he’s planning to put me in at the back of the house.I don’t know why he hates me so much.”Connor was on the phone with him and Dorian felt thankful for that. The fact that he had someone who could be with him during these times felt… soothing a bit. This was nothing compared to some of the things he knew his father could really do.“How come he’s neve

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
