A surprised look appeared on her face as she found Perseus standing there in his regular worn-out clothes.

Celia's eyes met Perseus, and then she looked away, embarrassment and guilt kicking in as Perseus had caught her with someone else. She couldn't look him in the eye properly.

She was about to hurry over to him, but when she saw the heartbroken look in his eyes, She had second thoughts.

Perseus knew that their relationship was a little bit complicated, but he never thought that she would cheat on him with someone else. Was it because he had no money?

"Perseus, it isn't what you think it is." She muttered. "He is a distant cousin of mine."

Perseus glared at her. "You kiss your cousin?'' His body was vibrating in anger.

All this time, he had thought that they were an item. It turns out that he had been a joke in the relationship and wasn't loved by her.

"We weren't going to kiss." Celia lied as she raised her hand in defense. "I had something in my eye."

The man was irritated hearing Celia try to cover up for what Persues had seen. "Tsk. Aren't you my fiancé's boyfriend? I was just telling her to break up with you, and you know what? She agreed. She also thinks that you are not worthy of her."

By the time the words left the man's lips, pursuits saw red. His body was vibrating with rage, and he tried to control his anger.

His high-pitched voice earlier had attracted the attention of the students of the school. Since one of the beauties' names was yelled out that way, the voice claimed that she was cheating.

It was going to be good gossip.

Students from the school hurried over in that direction. In a minute, Perseus was standing along with Celia, and the huge man was crowded with the students of the school.

Perseus fist tightened after getting cheated on. He was going to be embarrassed, too.

"She agreed to date me two months ago, and you know about our relationship, but you still chose her." Perseus muttered, his eyes on the big man.

The man pulled Celia into his arms, and this time she didn't break or try to shake his arm off. Everyone from school was there, and she didn't want to ruin her reputation.

Gritting her teeth, she scoffed. She had thought that she was going to keep using him to do petty things for her. Now that he had caught her cheating, her plans had failed.

"Date him two months ago? How is that even possible?" A female onlooker questioned the other.

"He is probably lying; how could she even look at him?"

"I heard the rumors around campus, but I thought it was just a rumor." One rubbed his temples. "I also thought they were friends."

"Celia can't be friends with that trash."

"He might have threatened the innocent girl to date him, and she agreed out of fear."

"Hah! The school mad horse loser thought he found himself a beauty. Now that she is in another man's hand, what are you going to do about it?"

The man pulled Celia even closer and whispered into her ear. "You see, baby, your mates support our relationship. Now is the best time for you to get rid of that loser and be with me. If you do it, I will probably get you all the luxurious bags you pick at Nerus."

At the mention of Nerus, Celia's eyes glittered. Who would want to miss the opportunity to get a bag at Nerus? Nerus was a popular shopping company for ladies; rich ladies flock in and out of it like bees.

A smile appeared on her face; it was going to be so easy dealing with pursuits.

Perseus still stood there; he could have turned away, but he wanted to hear from Celia. He wanted to know what he did wrong that made her cheat on him. Even though he knew what really happened, she has really left him for someone with money.

The man next to Celia was huge, and Perseus knew that he was unable to compete with the man.

"My baby is going to explain everything that has happened in these two months she has been with Perseus." The man addressed the students. "Who do you all vote for? Me or Perseus Damon?"

"We will go for you; who the hell is pursues?''

"What can Perseus get Celia? Look at the sports car behind the other guy.''

"Perseus cannot be compared to the other dude."

Seeing that everyone didn't know his name, the huge man placed a hand on his chest. "The name is Roman Sullivan."

The crowd gasped.

Perseus brows knitted in confusion: What was so special about the man that made the students gasp? He had only said his name; why do they look so surprised?

"Are you the famous Roman who went abroad to study and is back? One of the male onlookers demanded.

Roman nodded his head with pride. “Yes, it is me. My baby is going to address Perseus, and after that, I will take you all for lunch at Yuri's. Bills on me!”

The crowd went into an uproar, yelling at Celia to get this all over, which she did. Celia stepped close to him and pointed an accusing finger at him.

“Perseus Damon, you threatened me to date you after you stalked me for a whole month. I tried to refuse, but somehow you got my number and began sending threatening messages. Then I agreed to give you a chance, just for you to leave me alone. How could I not date Roman? What made you think that I would date you? Look at you; you are as poor as a church rat, and you grew up in the slum. He is better than you, and now that he is here, he can't bully me anymore.” Her eyes darkened as she stepped closer to him, standing an inch away. “Since you are here and you want to make a scene, you can no longer threaten me. What else can you do?” She leaned in and chuckled mockingly. “How do you like my acting, Perseus?”

Perseus's eyes widened, and he slightly pushed her. “Get away from me, you bitch!”

Taking advantage of the moment, she threw herself back dramatically and fell on the floor on her buttocks, as if he had pushed her hard.

“Did he just push Celia Aaron?”

“What's Roman going to do about it?

    “How dare you hit my girlfriend?” Rome yelled at Perseus.Perseus stood his ground, not caring about what was going to happen next. “Since you want to make an act, I didn't hit her but pushed her, right? Who would have thought such a scheming bitch would fall by herself?"“How dare you?” Roman demanded, his face turning red in anger.“How dare he insult Roman's girlfriend?”“He is looking for death.”“I can't wait to see him die; his face disgusts me.” One of the female onlookers spat.Celia, who was sitting on the floor, grinned at him. “He pushed me and even claims to do so.”Roman helped her up and approached Perseus. Both of them glared at each other. Perseus knew that he was no match for Roman, but he had to keep a little bit of self-respect.“You dare lay a finger on my girl?

    “I am not a ghost!” Perseus raised his hand in the air. “I just want to check out of the hospital; I am not dead yet.”However, the woman fainted before he could say anything else. He glanced around them to see that the other nurses were running over to him alongside the doctor.“How come he is alive?” The doctor demanded as he froze, seeing who it was. “I diagnosed him dead last night!”"Perhaps he has a twin brother.” A nurse muttered as she shivered in fear.Perseus wanted to tell them that he didn't have a twin, but he saw the expression on their faces. He changed his mind; he had no idea how he was going to explain the system to them.“Yes, I have a twin. He died last night; we already took him to his funeral.” He lied.[Warning!

They had been friends since high school, and they turned out to be roommates in college.“It will be alright since she tried to kill me and ruin my reputation to make her feel good about herself. I will give her back tenfold.” His lips curled up into a smirk.“What do we do next?” Orion asked.“I want to be seen as healthy and alive, and I guess that it is going to ruin her too.”“Do you need a livestreamer to go with us?” Tobias inquired.Perseus peered at Tobias. “Who do you suggest?”He hadn't thought about getting a livestreamer, but it would be great to have one that would show everyone that he was alive.“Sherry Kim.” Orion blurted it out. “She is the most popular and beautiful livestreamer in the country.”“And how do you think we can pay her?” Tobias retorted. “She attends this school, and she barely looks at us.”Sherry Kim's name ran

Perseus shook his head.“Feel what?”She released his arm. “Nothing.”“Oh, okay.”She clutched her hand tightly to her chest; she felt the current pass through her, and since he was holding her, She thought that he felt it too.Perseus raised a brow at her before staring at his friends, who were glaring at him. His eyes widened, and he wondered why they were glaring at him.“What?” He shru

Seizing the opportunity, Sherry pulled away from their grip and hurried over to Perseus.“Master, I am sorry that they ignored you for me.” She apologized. “Do you want us to check somewhere else?”Perseus shook his head. “Okay.”Just as they were about to leave, another woman who hadn't been with the others that came to him before approached him.She had a bright smile on her face and didn't look like she was going to look down at him.“Sir, do you want to check out the pictures of the villas?”Perseus glanced back at the lady.

He was sure he’d be scolded later, but he didn’t mind. Shifting his attention away from her, Perseus walked to his gaming seat.As soon as they all sat down, Perseus glanced at the opposing team, just centimeters away.

There was hope that Perseus could finally defeat the man who had long wanted his life.[You can beat him now;] Iris claimed.

I’ve waited for years to see if you’re worthy of the power you possess. But if this is all you have, then you’re not worthy and are just a piece of useless dirt occupying space."Before Perseus could react, Forest flung him across the room like a ragdoll. Perseus crashed to the ground, pain radiating through his body despite Iris’ efforts to heal him.[Perseus, we can’t keep this up much longer!] Iris warned. [You need to find a way to defeat him, or he’ll—]"I know," Perseus muttered, forcing himself to his feet. His vision blurred, but he refused to back down. "I know, Iris. But I’m not giving up.

Or will you admit defeat and accept that you’re not ready for this?"“If you ad

    [You can! You idiot!] Iris yelled.Perseus snapped out of his thoughts and dodged the attack by moving to the side as quickly as he could. This time, he didn’t hold back his power and unleashed it to the maximum.[Good job.]The man’s eyes glinted with admiration. “Aren’t you a little thing?” he asked. “I get to see someone I can actually fight with without killing them first. This is wonderful. You’re amazing!”Perseus gritted his teeth. The way the man spoke, it was clear he was looking down on him. “What is your name?”The man was taken aback by the sudden question. “Why are you asking your killer their name?”“I just wanted to know the name of the person I’m going to kill before I kill them,” Perseus replied. “Is it that hard?”The man’s lips curled. “Fine. My name is Forest. Not a common name, I guess.”Forest? Perseus’ eyes darted to Iris. ‘Analyze him with the name.’[I am unable to analyze him.] Iris said.

[I have no idea what’s happening, but the panel is blinking more furiously than before.][Your death is really imminent! You need to listen to me and run!]‘I’m not running,’ Perseus replied. ‘That man killed one of my family members and went on with his life. Now, he’s come after me, leaving Zeppelin out of the fight. If I run and he can’t find me, he’ll go after Zeppelin and kill him.’Iris’ eyes widened. [If you don’t run, there’s a high chance you’ll die.]‘I know that.’[Why are you with her then?]‘I can’t let Zeppelin face the same fate as our parents.’[It won’t take long for you to reach level 20.] Iris retorted.‘I have something he doesn't have.’[And what’s that?]‘I have you and

[What did you just say?]“I said if I were to die, I wouldn’t—”His words were cut off as an electric current surged through him. The shock was so intense that he trembled all over, and when it stopped, steam was rising from his body.[That’s what you get for thinking about death, host!] Iris bellowed. [Do you know that both Lint and I will be gone if you die? Do you know how many people will be sad when you die?]Perseus flinched and slowly turned to lie on his back. Seeing the annoyed look on Iris’s face made him want to laugh.“I was only joking,” Perseus muttered. “I won’t die. I promise.”[You idiot!] Iris yelled, watching Perseus laugh. [If you die, I will kill you!]“How are you going to kill someone who’s already dead?”Two days later.“Are you ready?” Eris demanded, poking her head through the door to look at her teammat

[I might have forgotten to turn the others off.]Perseus headed for the door since the game of the day would begin soon.[You were wearing a mask though. They wouldn’t be able to recognize you,] Iris said. [There’s nothing to worry about.]Upon reaching the general living room, Perseus met with the others, who were peering at him as if he had something on his face.“You were late, Perseus,” Liliana said.Liliana was standing in front of them with a woman with long lashes next to her.

    Perseus turned around to look at the man who had just spoken, ready to throw a punch if necessary.“Are you questioning me?” Cynthia demanded.From the look on her face, she seemed nothing like the woman she was with the leader. Perhaps seeing the man who had made her life a living hell taken by the police had given her some sort of confidence.“Nope,” he replied. “I was just worried if he would be able to lead the girls to his car. They are quite fierce.”“We know that,” Cynthia retorted. “Back to your job.”The men closed the door without any more questions, and Perseus glanced at her. He wanted to ask why she hadn’t let him use his fists but decided against it. In no time, the room was filled with women.Perseus gritted his teeth at the sight of them looking at him with terrified expressions. He wondered what all these women must have gone through to be that scared.“I will be letting them out now,” Perseus told Cynthia.“I will keep watch of the others,” Cynthia said before headin
