MASON WILLIAMS AND THE CELESTIAL SYSTEM The Supervisor
Natalia, sensing Jacob's hesitation, quickly jumps in. "Why would you want Jacob to call Haley William? Don't you know the Williams are busy people and are occupied by businesses worth millions daily?" She said this, rolling her eyes. The group, listening to Natalia's statement, shifted their gaze to Mason, who didn't seem impressed like the other students. Looking for an opportunity to defend her friend in the future, Flora quickly jumped into the conversation. "If you don't know Mason, the Williams family are very busy people who are more invested in making money, which you can never make in this life. They are not poor like you, who borrow clothes to impress others," she said, sizing him with her eyes. Mason was not surprised by Flora's comment. "Who told you that my clothes were borrowed?" he asked, and Flora rolled her eyes. "You have a talent for spreading or supporting lies, and it would do you a lot of good if you tried shutting your mouth sometimes," Mason deadpanned with a
MASON WILLIAMS AND THE CELESTIAL SYSTEM Selecting A Model
"What! Why would you pick Mason to pose with her?" The words left Jacob's mouth without thinking. "Let me be the male model," he said, turning to the supervisor, who gave him a skeptical look before turning to Cleopatra. "Is he in the group?" she asked."No," Cleopatra replied, with a furrowed brow in surprise at Jacob's sudden outburst. Jacob, foaming with anger, stared at Mason, who was staring at his phone. "Excuse me, but you have to leave," the supervisor pointed at Jacob, who stared at her surprise."You want me to leave?" The supervisor didn't answer his question and just stared at him sternly. Jacob hesitantly stood to his feet, moving towards the exit."You better not be comfortable," Jacob muttered when he got close to Mason, who didn't reply but smiled and pointed to the door. Jacob's rage was evident as he exited the room, his eyes glaring at Mason.The supervisor turns to the rest of the group and ushers them into the drawing-room, which is filled with drawing kits. Th
MASON WILLIAMS AND THE CELESTIAL SYSTEM The Restaurant
The selection ended at 1 p.m. Those chosen were happy, while Natalia was unhappy with the supervisor's decision."Those selected to represent your group should be available tomorrow." No excuses," the supervisor announced to the students filling out the room. Mason, who was glancing at his watch, waiting for the crowd to move out before exiting the room, was stopped by Cleopatra."Mason," she called, walking towards him; her long hair was now tied into a pony, making him admit she was born to look beautiful no matter the hairstyle. "How are you going home?" Cleopatra asked, stopping next to him and catching the eyes of the other students whispering among themselves."Yes, can I help you with something?""Some of the students and I are planning to have lunch, and I thought you might want to tag along?" she replied.Mason stared at Cleopatra's face for a second, trying to decipher her intention. Since they had been in the same department, she had never glanced in his direction, and no
MASON WILLIAMS AND THE CELESTIAL SYSTEM $62,856 Lunch
When Mason got to the VIP room, most students were already seated while the staff handed them the menu. Mason glanced at the far corner of the room where Cleopatra was waving at him, pointing at the empty seat beside her. Mason strode towards her but didn't miss the frown on Jacob's face as he sat beside her.Mason picked up the menu, staring at the familiar exotic dish on the menu, most of which their chiefs had prepared several times. Mason could tell most of the other students didn't share the same sentiment with him as they murmured under their breath."Even the pizza here cost $10,000!" Mason gazed at a boy whose face was pale from the menu. The two boys beside him also had the same look. Mason remembers them as the three Musketeers; they were the silent students in their departments and were always together, which derived their names.Mason knew Jacob had purposely selected this restaurant to humiliate and, in the process, had also dragged these students who weren't as fortunate
MASON WILLIAMS AND THE CELESTIAL SYSTEM Leaving With Style
The room was filled with astonishment aided by curiosity as all eyes stared at Mason. Most people who predicted the payment would fail were left speechless."How is that possible?" A girl from the other end of the table muttered under her breath. She shifted her gaze to Natalia, who stared at Mason dumbfounded like the others. 'Mason never spent that kind of money when we were dating, how come he was now able to spend $62,856 for a meal without thinking twice?' Natalia mutters to herself."He just paid the bill for himself and the three Musketeers!" a girl beside Natalia repeated. "I can see that!" Natalia spat.Mason glanced at her, then shifted his gaze to Jacob. "I believe you need to pay your part of the money," Mason said, snapping Jacob out of his thoughts. Jacob tilted his head to the lady beside him, and a frown crawled onto his face."Give me a second!" Jacob yelled at her, and the lady bowed her head and retreated to the corner of the room. Jacob tilted his head to Mason.
MASON WILLIAMS AND THE CELESTIAL SYSTEM Cleopatra's Home
Navigating through the busy road of Aleric City, Mason slowed the car to a stop when he glimpsed at the red light that towered above them. Pedestrians across the street didn't fail to stop and admire the luxurious car underneath the traffic sign."Oh my God, that car is beautiful," A girl close by said to her boyfriend, hoping to grab his attention since he had ignored her all day. "The person must be really rich!" she added, trying to look through the tinted glass of the windshield to see the owner. The boy, who knew of his girlfriend's intention to have a conversation, was adamant about casting a look in her direction or the car, which grabbed her attention. "What do you think, babe!" The girl shrinks with irritation when her boyfriend focuses on his phone instead of her. When the boy noticed other pedestrians staring at them, he finally raised his gaze toward the car. "Oh my God! Babe, that is not just a beautiful car!" He gulped with widened eyes. “It is a limited-edition La Vo
MASON WILLIAMS AND THE CELESTIAL SYSTEM Unknown Car
Dusk lingered in the sky as Mason drove out of the Cleopatra villa. It was already 6:30 pm, making him wonder how fast time flies. He glanced at his phone, noting the missed calls on the screen. It was almost seven, and Helay must have called his line to remind him of the family dinner. Mason shrugged off the thought of returning her call and drove towards the WPD. "Buzz!" his phone vibrated. He was about to pick it up when he saw one vehicle trailing behind him. He didn't take it to heart until the vehicle mirrored his turn toward the WPD. Mason wasn't sure who they were, but he was sure they weren't anyone friendly."Emoji," Mason called, overtaking a taxi. The taxi driver honked and cursed at the luxurious car speeding ahead. Emoji appeared beside Mason, who had his attention focused on the road. "I think the Viper gangs are chasing me," Mason said while his eyes roamed through the crowded cars underneath the traffic light. When he saw the opening, he accelerated and attracted the
MASON WILLIAMS AND THE CELESTIAL SYSTEM Confrontation
"Please, I haven't committed any crimes! I can't go to prison; I have families!" Another man fell to his knees, breaking into sweat. Their leader's eyes widened in surprise, watching as his gang members crumbled to their knees in the presence of one man. Though they were young recruits, and he had trained them to be the best, they were already defeated by the words of a man. Tobi stared at Mason, who wasn't affected by the murderous look. "Do you think bragging about a dashcam will save your life?" Tobi's voice thundered through the space. It was the first time he had been hired to beat up someone, and it didn't turn out as planned, but it seemed Tobi wasn't ready to give up.Mason was quiet. He knew the only way to crumble a gang without getting physical was to destroy them by themselves, a great plan Emoji had suggested. "Get your ass up from the ground, you fools! He is bluffing!" Kobi sneered at his apprentice, who glanced at each other as if contemplating the order.When they b

It's Not Worth A Million Dollars
“Your boyfriend is either a fool who lied to you, which I suspect is the case, or he simply didn’t know the car isn’t worth a million dollars,” Mason said with a smile. “I’m pretty sure it's the first one,” he added.Jacob and Natalie’s expressions hardened at Mason’s words. Just as Jacob was about to say another word, a car overtook them, forcing him to slam on the brakes.Everyone's attention shifted to Jeremiah, who stepped out of his sleek, black sedan. The moment Natalia recognized him, she quickly averted her gaze to her phone, avoiding any eye contact.

A Mysterious Passager
Morning came by fast, casting a golden hue over the bustling streets of Aleric University. The familiar sight of students flooded the premises, carrying out their mundane activities. Unlike every other day, on which Mason drove in with his Bugatti, today he didn't; rather, he was sitting at the back of a taxi.“Good day, sir, did you have your pass?” The security man stationed at the entrance of the university inquired, glancing from the taxi driver to Mason, whose gaze was focused on his phone.“Sorry, sir, I forgot my pass, but you can check it in your system to confirm,” the taxi driver said, but the security guard gave him an apologetic look.“I’m sorry, sir, but according to university policy, no pass means no entry for vehicles,” the guard replied as he gestured for the car to reverse.Mason, finally noticing that they had come to a stop, turned his gaze toward the security guard. If the guard knew who he was, he surely wouldn’t hesitate to let them through.“Don't worry, sir,
A Call
After spending time in the living room, surrounded by his family's laughter and warmth. Mason made his way to his room and locked the door behind him. His eyes fell on the neatly made bed, which seemed to pull him in with a strong force. With a sigh, he sank into the bed and shut his eyes. However, his moment of silence didn’t last long, when the systematic sound shattered his peace.Congratulations on successfully completing a level red mission. You have been awarded 4 celestial points and an ability bonus. Would you like to view the available options now? The message reverberated through his thoughts, bringing him back to the reality of completing his mission. His excitement was overwhelmed by the exhaustion that surged within him.“Not yet, I will do that later,” he replied and was about to exit the system when a question popped into his head. “I have a question,” he said.The familiar image of Emoji appeared, ready to answer him.“Since the system protects me from danger, is my
Public Announcement
News about the incident had spread on every television channel, radio station, and digital transmission device across the nation.People who weren't sure if the details took extensive preventative measures, such as stocking up on supplies and avoiding crowded areas, even when no confirmed cases of exposure to the virus had been reported. Even in light of the officials’ reassurances, the public was still gripped by fear and anxiety. “Thank you for joining us today,” the host said, looking into the camera. “With us is Commander Yann, the commanding officer of the Facility.” He added, and the spotlight was shifted to him. The Commander wore his decorated uniform, adorned with medals that represented his distinguished service and commitment to public safety. “Thank you very much,” Commander Yann responded, illuminated by several flashes from cameras. “Today has been challenging, and it is no secret that the government facilities housing dangerous viruses were attacked. I want to reass
Leaving Heaven Institution
The atmosphere was thick with tension, and the wail of sirens pierced through the school premises in response to the attempted terrorist attacks. Journalists flooded the scene with their cameras ready to capture details of the event.Amidst the commotion, Mason who had predicted the exposure and the threat to his identity. He strategically maneuvered through the back entrance of the school and slipped into a waiting cab that idled at the curb. The driver, a middle-aged man, eyed him but remained silent about the chaos behind them. As the cab pulled away, Mason's thoughts were overshadowed by the text message sent to him by Miranda.[The hospital wouldn't grant me access]The text read, blurring everything including the threat of his identity being exposed to the public. Before Mason left the school he had related his concerns to the general who respected his decision and agreed to keep his involvement away from the public.After a few minutes, the cab arrived at the hospital.

Unknown Location
In an undisclosed location, several exotic Sudanese drove through the double gate, halting in front of a grand building, whose landscape lingered with secrecy. Their arrival signaled an air of urgency, marking a dramatic entrance. As the vehicle doors slid open, men clad in black tuxedos emerged, exuding an aura of sophistication and authority. Their polished shoes echoed through the lavish marble floor as they made their way through the entrance of the building.Scattered around the premises were several security guards, whose stony expressions were concealed behind dark masks that added an extra layer of mystery to their presence, just like their guests. They exchanged a familiar nod before moving toward the entrance of the building.Each person pulled out a black card, passing it to the middle-aged lady, who took attendance before proceeding into the building.Inside the building, the atmosphere matched the exclusivity of its exterior. In the midst of elegantly arranged rooms, a la
A Bigger Case
The sound of metal crashing against the floor made the men in uniform shift their attention from the gun to Mason. Tension soared through the air, and their unfriendly gazes flickered between the two figures.“Place your hands above your head!” One of the officer's voice slices through the silence like a knife.Mason, sensing the escalation, glanced around and rested his eyes on Anthony, whose hands were already up. Sensing Mason's delay, the officer inched his gun up, tightening his grip. His voice shifted to a deeper snarl. “I said, your hands above your head!” he repeated, emphasizing each word.Mason nodded and then slowly raised his hands while he watched the two officers who approached them. The one holding a handcuff moved towards Mason while the other, with no cuffs, approached Anthony.“Are you okay, sir?” the officers asked, analyzing the bruises on Anthony’s face.Mason turned to look at Anthony, who wore a confused expression. When he realized that the police were not awar
The Ventilator
The aftermath of the gunshots made the air thicken with tension, each second stretching longer. Mason drops a lazy gaze on a figure trembling on the cold floor. Though it was his first time firing a gun, his hand remained unshaken by the kickback.Meanwhile, Anthony, whose face was drained of color, had fear etched across his features. He instinctively raised his trembling hands to check for any signs of pain or blood.When he realized the bullet had missed him, the horror on his face began to dissipate, replaced by a nervous smile that barely masked the relief washing over him.“I thought you really shot me,” he said, wiping the sweat from his forehead. “I knew you didn't have the gutss to—”Bang! A second shot soars through the air, followed by the screams of Anthony, who panned at his legs in horror. The hole close to his leg made him raise his gaze to Mason. “What the hell! You could have shot my leg!” he screamed, his voice laced with panic as he shot Mason an incredulous glanc
Hostage
At the entrance of Heaven Institution, several students were ushered out of the building. Meanwhile, Mason, aware of the danger, pushed his way through the crowd and entered the narrow hallway. When he reached a T-junction, he scanned the area, letting out a brief sigh. Just as he was about to make a decision on which path to take, a desperate voice rang out. “Help!”Mason, with a skipped heartbeat, turned in the direction of the sound. He noticed several staff members fleeing from the east wing of the building. As he caught a glimpse of their expressions, he saw pure fear etched on their faces.Without hesitation he dashed through the hallway, and as he got closer, the voice became familiar.“P… please let me go!” The voice pleaded, causing Mason to increase his speed. When he arrived at the scene, his heart skipped another beat. Anthony, wearing a frown, held a gun to a student’s head.“Elizabeth!” he muttered, remembering she was the student who eagerly gave him direction during
