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
INFINITE SKILLS SYSTEM: DORIAN FLINT'S RISE TO AWESOMENESS. Chapter 44: ~Calm down Buster.~
Connor dropped missed call upon missed call and Dorian chuckled because it was kind of good to know he had a friend that cared about his well-being now.He had called Connor so he could get a solution to his current problem but it seemed that solution had revealed itself, thanks to Connor anyway, and now that he wanted to carry out the solution that had been proffered, Connor wanted to blow up his phone with calls.Dorian chuckled and picked up his phone, pressing the accept button on the incoming call and bracing himself for Connor’s loud bellow, Connor asked “What the fuck dude?” Dorian simply grinned as he pulled on his only pair of boots, “I’ve found a solution.”Connor sounded skeptical as he replied, “You did?”Dorian nodded though he knew his friend wouldn’t be able to see the gesture as he was on the other end of the phone, “I did. I can’t tell you what it is though, you might get implicated or something like that, and this will only work if I can find the right person.”The

The sky was dark and the road was busy.People were walking to and fro and the city was bustling as always.Dorian walked beside ordinary people with his hands in his pocket as always. People looked at him and he looked back at them, they smiled at him and he smiled back.He had managed to do something about his clothes and he didn’t look as shoddy as he always looked. He looked like any normal young person on their way to have some drinks or just to take a stroll in the parks of the city.Strolls were popular among the inhabitants of the city, especially night strolls where they could watch the sky and the stars, and just engage in mundane and happy things.Dorian felt something sharp sting his heart because he didn’t think he’d ever had the chance to enjoy the normal life he once had.It wasn’t even a normal life, it was a miserable life, and right now he wasn’t enjoying a leisurely stroll, he was doing his best to ensure his cursed existence didn’t become even more cursed.~Have yo
INFINITE SKILLS SYSTEM: DORIAN FLINT'S RISE TO AWESOMENESS. Chapter 46: "A pendant like this?"
The rival gang was defeated seriously.Dorian chuckled to himself as he watched the report on the news.“Last night, small factions of the notorious neighborhood gang the Blacktips and Steelclaw engaged in a violent altercation.Passers-by fled in panic and the police were quickly alerted, yet even with that it still took some effort to stop. No one was hurt, although a number of the gang members are injured and are currently recovering while awaiting the verdict of the local judges on them.Citizens are advised to stay safe and be on high alert. The entire police force has been dispatched to every corner of the city to handle this threat.I’m Nadia Helio, and this is KYC NEWS. Have a good day.”Dorian looked at his door and counted how many hours it had been since the police had sent their little veiled threat for his father.It had been quite some time, more than 24 hours even, considering the fact that he had ignored the letter for the better part of a whole day and just learned of
INFINITE SKILLS SYSTEM: DORIAN FLINT'S RISE TO AWESOMENESS. Chapter 47: "Why would you ask that?"
“How did you..”Dorian found himself unable to finish his sentence because Connor threw the pendant at him briskly. He had to stop speaking and catch it, and when he had finally caught it he finished his statement.“How did you get this? I’ve… been looking everywhere for it.”Dorian found himself hesitant to tell Connor that he had found his apartment mugged because the place was already bad enough as it was. The building looked old and dilapidated, it was bad enough without Connor knowing,“Someone probably stole it from you.”Dorian felt his breath get stuck in his throat but he didn’t show any indication of it, he simply looked away to stare at something else as Connor continued, explaining almost patiently.“I visit these ... places where I can find rare things, and I found this there.It was being held by a man who said he wanted nothing to do with it now. He was acting pretty crazy when I met him.”Dorian stared at Connor while he went through all the explanations, all the whi

“And you said you had nothing to do with the blacktips feud.”Connor sounded cheeky and smug as Dorian approached him the next day and Dorian found himself frowning lightly as he responded,“I said I didn't.”“So I believe it’s a simple coincidence that you dyed your hair after I informed you of it.”The cold sweat running down Dorian’s back ran colder as he came to the realization of his actions. The system chortled in amusement and Dorian cursed under his breath.The Dye… had been a bad idea, but he had been slightly afraid when he settled on it and now that he had dyed his hair,Connor’s good natured chuckle snapped Dorian out of his reverie and Dorian felt a slight shock run through him as Connor slung an arm around Dorian’s neck.Connor’s voice was low and dangerous as he told Dorian,“Y’know i don’t care if you have some link to the Blacktips right? They recruit just about anyone lately, and when I say anyone, I mean anyone.Where we would have a problem though, is if you risk y
INFINITE SKILLS SYSTEM: DORIAN FLINT'S RISE TO AWESOMENESS. Chapter 49: "Mercury."
The man who had been trailing Dorian stepped into the bar and Dorian felt a mix of emotions go through him.This was someone who had managed to spook him in the matter of a single day. Even the blacktips hadn’t been able to do that, and as usual, the man didn’t speak to him, didn’t even approach him, he simply walked over to one of the stools in the bar and he took a seat, casually ordering a drink and flashing a glance in he and Connor’s direction.Dorian felt that glance send a chill down his spine.“He doesn’t look like someone who would stalk, Dorian.”Connor’s voice seemed to echo in Dorian’s mind as he heard it.Dorian took one swig of his drink as he rattled off his reply, “He was waiting at the entrance to my house when you left. I don’t think you might have seen him but you could have, he was there. He was also at the store when I went to purchase some hair dye. He was also waiting in my backyard when I went to burn the package for the hair dye.He was at the gate this morn

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
