Immediately I summoned the courage to arise out of my world of thoughts and contemplations to phone Stephen.I immediately put Stephen on speed dial initiating the video call feature using The Enigmatic System to call his Buddhist System.The call went through and he picked although the picture was chaotic.It was as real as ever and felt like a really good movie was playing on my User Interface as I wore a shocked face.Stephen was standing in front of a burnt building and there were police officers everywhere covering the perimeter.Stephen soon squatted down to grab a bit of black soil as he looked at it with his once clean hands.I watched in horror as he performed this action along the scene of the wanton destruction that was heavily prevalent in the region.'What the heck happened? I don't know why things are happening like this. I must ask questions.' I thought as I watched the destructive scene before me."Uh....." I uttered as I watched Stephen sniff the soil.I was stunned a
After several minutes of thinking about this Acting skill, I decided to give up. This was because my system was refusing to give me more information on the player's skill while Stephen was still checking up on it. So what I needed to do right now was to wait for Stephen to research on the Acting skill and get back to me. In order to kill time I decided to watch TV and as usual I saw the news saying that I was still wanted. It mentioned me killing a group of people from the Wade family at the school auditorium. Hearing this from the newscaster made me clench my fists in anger as I grit my teeth. I mean, that wasn't even the situation and it was obvious someone was using the media to damage my reputation. Those people had tried to kill me and my friends and they deserved to die. They had committed several crimes as pawns of the Wade family. But no, their crimes were kept as a secret while I was being painted as a wanted criminal.
After an hour of showering with Paulina and eating, we were soon lying in bed. Stephen had called earlier, telling me that he wouldn't be able to complete the research on the Acting skill. I told him it was okay and that he should take his time. But he responded with a snort which I found odd. Did I say anything wrong to him?As for Paulina, I told her everything while we were in bed. So now she knew that Dominic was not yet dead and the one whom I had killed earlier was a fake. She was so furious and clenched her fists while vowing to kill Dominic herself."So what are you going to do about the matter?" Paulina asked me. "I mean, he's still alive and roaming free despite trying to kill us on several occasions.""We're gonna have our revenge," I said as I looked into her eyes. "Just don't think too much about that loser and focus on leveling up. When you're powerful enough you'd realize that he's nothing but a pest.""It's easy for you to say because you're a level twenty player," Pau
[GAMING PROFILE HAS BEEN GENERATED]The notification came in exactly three seconds, making me calm down a little. To say I was nervous at this moment was an understatement. I was literally freaking out like the newbie I was. Despite being a level twenty player I had no experience in virtual reality. So I was literally a beginner down here.[YOU CAN EDIT PERSONAL PROFILE ONCE][PLAYER NAME: JASON LEWIS][GAMING PERSONALITY: GOD OF COPYCATS][AGE: 26][LEVEL: 20][SKILLS: WILL BE SUBJECT TO CHANGE IMMEDIATELY][WEAPON: SWORD OF THOR (BROKEN)]"Hmm..." I placed my right hand under my chin. "I think I will have to change my name and age to match that of my gaming avatar."After saying that I did a face palm, "This is my gaming avatar already. My real body is in the real world. This gaming avatar should be my mind.""Uh...I think I will go with Reverend Insanity," I said as I nodded. I took that name from the awesome novel which I'd read once. It was titled Reverend Insanity and the protag
I stared at the dragon which towered over me, its eyes glaring at me in rage as it breathed fire from its nostrils. It growled deeply as it looked down on me and I could tell it was definitely thinking of a million ways to crush me right now. I wasn't surprised at all. It was natural for a gigantic creature like it to look down on all of its prey. But what nobody knew was that this dragon and I were at the same player level. The difference between us was just our size and attack potency."What the...""What has he gotten himself into? Now he's gonna be killed!""This wasn't supposed to happen! We were trying to lure the dragon away and he came.""What are we gonna do now? He's gonna really mess up our plans right now!"As I stood facing the dragon I could hear the other players talking to themselves. Obviously, they had teamed up to defeat the player controlling the dragon or even kill him. And from the looks of things, the man really deserved it. He was a tyrant and needed to be deal
I immediately activated my Healing skill as I rolled away from the tail of the dragon lashing at me. I saw it hit the ground, shattering the concrete into several fragments. I rolled further away as I healed rapidly in order to prevent myself from being smashed by the concrete which was flying in my direction. I watched as they all crashed into the ground and shattered into smithereens. At that time I was panting heavily but due to my Healing skill, I gradually began to breathe normally."You should have stayed far away when you had the chance!" the man who had tamed the dragon said. "At least you would have survived for some time till I met you in the future..."As I listened to the man, I saw the dragon roar so loudly that the entire surrounding shook very violently as if the whole place would crumble."But now you're gonna die and I'm gonna get my reward!" the man clenched his fists happily. "Too bad absorbing levels of a deceased player has been banned." Has it been banned? I cou
After removing the Lightning skill I had an empty slot to copy another skill. And the skill I was going to copy was the Dragon's Fire skill. This was because it was the most lethal skill of the dragon which it used frequently against me."You must be nuts thinking you can dodge forever!" the player who had tamed the dragon yelled in provocation."No one has been able to fight my dragon for so long!" the man continued. "This is because the more you fight, the more it becomes stronger with rage!"I couldn't help but scoff as I moved swiftly, dodging more fireballs. I curled my lips into a warm smile as I stopped underneath the dragon. I had finally copied the Dragon's Fire skill and I felt so good about it. Now it was the time to show these players that I couldn't be messed with at all. This was because I was more powerful than all of them!"Complete Arsenal!" I yelled as clenched my fists, my eyes turning bluish in color as a blue aura surged from my entire body. My Complete Arsenal sk
I wasn't too happy after killing the dragon. This was because I still had the beast tamer to face and I didn't know what level he was. Without defeating him right now my mission wasn't yet complete. And if I couldn't find a way to defeat him in three minutes then I would fail my mission and lose the promising reward to upgrade my damaged Sword of Thor which was even now lower than a level ten mythical item. I didn't want to fail this mission so I made up my mind to finish this.The beast tamer gradually stood up from the car in which he was seated in, his fists clenching tightly as he glared at me. It was like the only thing he had in his mind was killing me. Well, I didn't blame him. After all, I was the one who had killed his favorite pet, the level twenty dragon which had been causing havoc just now.His eyes became very red as he said, "I'm gonna kill you for what you've done right now!""Let me see you try that," I said calmly as my lips curled up into a taunting smile. "There's
