Tristan asked Max."Very clearly sir, we should stay alert, it may be the ghost that he just spoke to who knows?" " Well, one of my objectives is to survive within the building until I find that ghost, unmask him, and know why he wants me dead. System how many points do I have?"/ Total number of exp points left - 172/" Good enough to explore with," he concluded and turned from the door. Just as Marie had described, the first place was empty, there was no windows or door in this large hall, no chairs or desk, the floor was black and shiny and Tristan couldn't help but wonder what this place was for.There wasn't anything scary in there, so he proceeded further into the building, towards a hallway with an unstable lightbulb. The bulb dangled from side to side like it would fall off the ceiling, and the light was unstable as it kept changi
"Wow, I can't believe it!" Tristan exclaimed, still in shock that the shield caused the bullet to bounce off his skin, but Max looked the least surprised because it wasn't a new occurrence to him."Yes sir, it's nothing new," Max answered./-1 exp points/"Oh yeah, pay as you use," Tristan said and requested that the shield be taken down which was done immediately.He continued confidently towards the end of the hallway, each step he took echoed but he did not care. As they approached the end of the hallway, there were three diversions, one leading forward but downstairs, while the ones on the right and left side led upstairs.While he contemplated on what path to take, he heard a hissing sound, and no one knew the sound a snake makes better than Tristan because of his hatred for the reptile.Unable to discern what path the serpent was coming from, Tristan waited with his eyes staring in all directions sporadically. And as soon as he set eyes on the slippery reptile coming down the st
Tristan's heart pounded in his chest, this was a lose-or-lose situation without a way out."You fool! you will not get anything out of this!" he yelled."I will get the truth, nothing more, so Tristan, you have ten seconds to tell me whether or not you possess the system... 10""I don't, if you want to know then come here and face me!" Tristan yelled."9" "8""System I need you to do something, can you follow this voice and find where he is?""7"/I can master/"6""Then do it, I have no choice but to let him know that I have the system, but I can't let him get away afterward,""5"/Alright master/"4""3""When you find out, send me the location,"/I will/"2""1""You have made your choice Coleman!" the voice exclaimed."Kill him!" he added./-1 exp points/"Wait!" Tristan yelled attempting to keep the voice talking long enough for the system to do what he had instructed."I'm all ears," the voice replied."What would you do if you found out that I have this so-called system that y
/ Objective 2 - using the information from Marie locate the building and find your way around using the system's features - complete!// You have been rewarded with 100 exp points and 10 gift points/ / 10 boost points have been added automatically/"That is three objectives down, two more to go," Tristan muttered as he and Max walked out of the exit.They didn't encounter any other obstacle leaving the facility, but as soon as they stepped out, the security personnel who had ushered them in earlier pointed his gun at them alongside three others."Oh I see, so you work for the ghost too?" Tristan uttered without a hint of fear, he wasn't intimidated by the presence of three mere men, especially after taking care of twelve alone."Just follow me into the car and we'll all leave this place alive," said the security."Haha," Tristan laughed and took a few steps forward after asking the system to initiate its shield."Move back or I'll shoot you," The security said and Tristan raised his
"Yes give me a second," he said. Tristan closed his laptop and went to unlock the door to let her in. As soon as he did, he was shocked by what he saw.Ariana was holding a tray containing a few slices of bread and his favorite chocolate tea."Wow, come in," Tristan said and held the door open for her."I brought you tea to help you relax, it's your favorite isn't it?" Ariana asked as she walked into the room and placed the tray on his side table drawer."That was very thoughtful of you, thank you," Tristan said, still amazed by the unexpected gesture."It's the least I could do, I know Tracy always did that for you whenever you were tired, so I figured why not do the same." She said and Tristan's jaws dropped in shock.He closed the door took his seat at the edge of the bed next to Ariana and asked," You know Tracy?"Tristan didn't want to believe that his mother already told Ariana of his late sister. To Tristan, that was not a good idea especially since Ariana had barely spent a m
Tristan wiped the tears from his eyes, he knew not to punish himself by drinking the rest of the tea, so he stopped and kept the rest on the side table drawer. After all, he had lost his appetite due to the things he had seen throughout the day.He was about to return to the computer, to further examine the structure of the only completed building in the estate when it crossed his mind to check up on Claudia.He remembered that she had blocked him, but chose to try hoping that she had unblocked. To his surprise, Claudia had unblocked him and she was online too which was a good thing, so he texted her immediately. Tristan_ You unlocked me? Claudia _ Two minutes after I blocked you, yes.Tristan _ So that means you are not angry anymore?Claudia _ I still need an explanation, I trust you and I think I overreacted, I saw the news later this evening that you were attacked at the restaurant, what happened are you hurt, why didn't you tell me?Tristan _ lol because you blocked me?Claudia
"What the hell?" Tristan exclaimed as his eyes opened to the view of the ceiling, his breath was heavy as though it had happened for real, he placed his hand on his stomach to confirm that it was just a dream and nothing else.He then sat up and stretched his arm before looking at the clock, it was still 3:00 a.m. so he sighed in frustration."System, are you still there?" He asked, still to confirm that it was all a dream./Always master, you seem disturbed, must have been the dream/"You saw my dream?" Tristan asked with an expression of shock./ I did not, but I read your thoughts, it's one about me disappearing/"Yes, it was strange," Tristan said and laid his head back on the pillow."Tell me something, how do I lose the system?" He asked./Death, if you fail ten quests in a row, you automatically lose the system and all its rewards, in rare cases, the system chooses to leave per the host's request/"Interesting," Tristan yawned and closed his eyes hoping to catch some sleep befo
A few minutes later..."Sir," the man who had left the room returned with an expression of worry on his face."I saw it!" The man in a mask said with a perplexed expression."Tristan Coleman fooled us, and that can only mean he is still on his way here, probably here without us knowing it," said the masked man."Should I do a total shutdown?" the other asked."Wait, until he has been spotted inside the building, once you see him inside shut down all entrances and exits, until then, we wait." He replied."It is strange that no one was in that car, who drove it here?" "The real question now is who the hell just pulled up in front ?" The masked man asked, looking up at the footage from the security cameras."I'd take care of it!" said the other as he left through the elevator and headed downstairs.~~~~~Tristan's car had just driven past where his other car was blown up, he couldn't help but imagine what he might look like now if he was inside, probably burnt beyond recognition, or dis

"I just got the baby to sleep, damm," Claudia sighed and sat next to her husband on the couch."I guess the maids can't do everything, " she added."You gave birth to quite the town crier," Tristan chuckled and Claudia laughed,"We, gave birth... not just me, by the way, I found this in one of those old briefcases that you no longer use," she held up a string covered in glitter and Tristan's jaws dropped in shock."I can't believe it," He took it from her, staring at it with a mix of so many emotions. He remembered that string from five years ago when the system had asked him to play the philanthropist role and visit that orphanage. "She'd be a grown-up by now," He uttered and Claudia raised a brow wondering who he was talking about."I can't remember her name, but it was a young girl, about 5 years old I met her at an orphanage once, she was so happy to make me a bracelet, and I gave her my wristwatch in return, I can't believe I still have it after all these years.""Awn," Claudia
Getting rid of the barrier that stopped her hand from touching his skin, Claudia did the needful, and anyone might think it's massaging but that would be wrong, she played with it, constantly looking into Tristan's eyes to ensure that he responded accordingly to her punishment. With every trace of fluid, she could tell that he was at the breaking point, but she wanted him to say it, believing that a man who is thirsty enough wouldn't hesitate to beg for water to drink."Please," He finally gave in, he no longer saw the need to keep his thought to himself. He lost his mind a long time ago but has struggled to keep it together. That was all she needed to hear, the pleading voice of her man, his surrender to her, his submission and notng more, as much as she tortured him, Claudia tortured herself equally, so she was more than happy to begin the process.Letting Tristan get rid of her clothes, they both indulge in doing the needful, as Claudia took the lead like she wanted, but Tristan
"You wore this dress on purpose tonight, didn't you?" Tristan asked, gazing lovingly at his wife who sat on the bed where he lay. Her red silky short dress was alluring and no doubt tempting to whatever eyes see it, her red painted nails added to the mix as though she has untold agendas. She turned to him and replied,"What do you think, what's if I did?" She asked and Tristan could already tell what it was that his wife demanded.She had been busy all week, and this weekend she got a break, she had clung to him as though there was a piece of honey left that she had yet to taste."I think you did," Tristan replied and sat up, he leaned forward to kiss he on the lip but Clauide pushed him backwards. "No no," she said,"Lay back down, Tristan," she added, her voice was both soft and demanding, and what more could he do than listen to the woman who seemed to know what she wanted? He had been at home all day, rested enough and was always ready for her.Claudia climbed unto the bed and
One of the most expensive wedding venues in LA, and that was only the first stage of the wedding. He intended for a three days wedding, one at an indoor venue, which is where the current reception is taking place after the church. Another at an outdoor venue most likely close to a beach, and for the grand finally under the night sy on the rooftop of a hotel. As for what they will be doing at the venue all those days, that won't be a problem.Everyone is set, even up to the source of entertainment. The number of eminent personalities present at Tristan's wedding was unbelievable. What surprised people mostly was when the president showed up. Most people believe that after his son had been put behind bars for attempted murder that it might alter his relation with Tristan, but nothing changed.The first day was the main event, the reception took off by 4pm and lasted until 8pm, the food alone could anyone salivating even though they had had their fill.The dance between mother and son w
"I can't believe you did this," Claudia uttered whilst staring at the ring on her finger. She was lying in bed next to Tristan who was tired and would be going to bed soon."At least you said yes," Tristan uttered, stroking her hair gently because she was lying in his arms."Imagine how much I would have cried tonight if you had said no," He added jokingly.Claudia faked a frown and turned to face him,"Why would I say no?" She asked him,"It's been four years Tristan, and I always felt like I'd know when you would propose, but you took me completely by surprise. My friend and coursemates have been texting me nonstop, I can't even respond to all of them today, I'm too tired.""Look," Tristan pointed at the clock hanging on the wall,"it's past midnight, 1:44 am. You can reply to them tomorrow, it's not that urgent, I'm so tired too.""Of course, I won't reply to them tonight, they should be asleep too, it's just me who is too excited to sleep, you look tired and you should sleep, don'
"Holy shit," Claudia exclaimed as she walked into the venue accompanied by Tristan, her hands over he mouth. Not only was it a pleasant surprise but it was in that she never anticipated.As soon as her eyes met her mothers, Claudia's heart melted, she quickly turned to Tristan and asked,"How did you get all of them here?" "I'll never tell," Tristan smirked before being enveloped in a warm hug from her, "Thank you so much," she uttered with tears in the corner of her eyes, after which she vanished into the crowd and began greeting everyone she met.Firstly, her mother. It has been nearly two years since they last met in person, her father was also present and she couldn't use words to express how grateful she was to them for showing up.Next was Tristan's mother, even since she moved to LA with Tristan, she barely saw the lady, and she was more than happy to meet her again. Ariana on the other hand was so grown and almost unrecognisable, that she hugged the young woman before procee
“Sleeping?” Claudia smiled as she walked into the room and gazed upon her handsome man on the bed. Her entrance had disturbed his sleep but he didn’t mind.“Welcome back,” Tristan greeted her while running his finger over his sleepy eyes. He quickly stole a glance at the clock to ensure that he hadn’t slept past the time he wanted to, unfortunately he had. But he didn't panic so much, Claudia had gotten back an hour earlier, so all he needed to was to get ready and urge her to get dressed too."How was work?" He inquired, trying to keep the conversation simple because he had told her nothing about the party."Stressful, as always," She sat next to him on the bed, she placed a kiss on his cheek and stood up immediately, she wanted to take shower before anything."I told you not to go to work on your birthdays, it is not that big of a deal, if your boss as much as threatens to fire you, I'll buy the hospital and make you the owner." Tristan flaunted with a smirk as he threw his head b
"Do you think she will like it?" Tristan asked as he stared at the hall that had been decorated for more than a million dollars."It looks great, don't worry, she will like it." His mother tapped his back with a smile. "By the way, when does she get back from the hospital?" she asked."5 pm, " Tristan answered, and suddenly noticed that he wasn't seeing his cake."Where is the cake?" He asked."Her cake?" his mom asked and he nodded,"I don't know, but it can't be here by now, it'll melt before she even shows up, it's just noon. I want to go get my nails done, and it's going to be a grad party." His mother excitedly walked out of the hall."I'll go with Mom, don't worry brother, she will love it," Ariana hugged him before running out of the hall after her mother, she also wanted to get her nails done.Tristan drew a chair from the set-up, and sat down with a sigh, he couldn't believe that it had been four years since the system left, and it had been four years since he met Claudia.
