“What are you doing?” Luke tried asking, but Lexi covered his lips with her palm.

“Shh.” She whispered. “They are here.”

Footsteps filled the room, along with voices. Luke shoved himself deeper behind the table, afraid they might see him, but Lexi was more concerned about them hearing his movements.

She silently curses since she hasn't found Perseus' parent's files yet. She might not have the chance to find them at all.

The legs of the men were crystal clear to them as they walked past the large table where Lexi and Luke were hiding.

Lexi glanced at Luke, ready to help if he began panicking. Luke had already folded the files and shoved them into a bag that Lexi didn't know he was carrying.

“I see nothing wrong with this door.” Mr. Kurt said as he stood in front of the door he had tried getting open. “Is it blocked?”

Mr. Hope's eyes darted to the pin that was lying on the floor. He ignored it like it was nothing.

“Quit staring at the door, Kurt. Let's get the files and leave.”

    A skinny figure hurried over to a building, his body shivering as he ran. He was in a hurry to tell someone what had happened. He pulled the door open and dashed inside. There were several men in the building; their eyes followed him as he ran. “What are you looking at?” The skinny man yelled at them. The men looked away from him like they hadn't been staring. Even though the man was so skinny and weaker than all the men in the room, He was respected and feared. “We are sorry, Tom.” One of the men in the room apologized. The skinny man's name was Tom. He was weak, yet he had a position that was above the stronger men. For that reason, he didn't get along with the other men. He was weak and didn't want to give them the chance to take him for granted. Tom was often backlashed and backstabbed by everyone he knew. and was also bullied. If it wasn't for his boss, who picked him up when he had nothing, He wouldn't be respected like he is now. This wasn't any better than his pa

    Perseus was greeted by the sight of Kara and Orion arguing with a lady who happened to be a customer as soon as he stepped foot into the restaurant. He ran his hand through his hair and walked over to them in fast strides.The restaurant was filled with tons of people who were eating quietly and ignoring the voices of Kara and Orion. Eris and Sherry were next to him, and when he dashed towards Kara and Orion, Eris headed for the kitchen.Sherry, on the other hand, followed Perseus.“Guys!” Perseus called out to them. “What’s happening?”Orion's head snapped in Perseus’s direction, and he had a surprised look on his face. “What are you doing here?”“It’s my restaurant; am I not allowed to be here?’’ Perseus asked.Hearing that Perseus was the CEO of the restaurant, the man they were arguing with turned his gaze to Perseus.“Since you are here, I want you to fire Kara.” The man stated it with a serious look on his face. “This isn’t a place for her to work.”Perseus couldn’t understand w

    Iris scoffed. [As if!]You still have a lot to do. Do you have any idea how long the task might take? [It must have looked easy to you, but it isn't.][The system won't ask you to go there for no reason.] There would be something there that you would have to take care of.[You don't have an idea how long it might take.]Perseus peered at Iris. “Does that matter right now?” He asked. “Why don't we get done with the pasta and talk about this later? As far as I am concerned, there is more time to worry about that.” Iris sighed. [Okay, it has nothing to do with me anyway.][Let's make the pasta and get the three things done with.]Perseus nodded. “That's right.”Iris and Perseus began making the pasta. [RING! You have a new mission: find the mole in this place who wants the recipe for the pasta and get them arrested.][Reward: Three full stat points.][One item and 400 points.][Punishment: Make you dumb and disabled.][Duration: one hour.][You better be done with it as soon as possibl

    Fiona's teeth gritted as she stared at Sherry. She glared at Sherry. “You can get me fired; you aren't the boss here!” Sherry wasn't backing down. “I can get you fired as long as this restaurant belongs to my fiance.” Danny held Fiona. “She was only stating facts. You shouldn't have hit her!” “Like she said, You both are fired,” Kara announced. “She is also the boss of this place if she is dating our boss.” Orion stared at Nathaniel, who acted like he couldn't hear anything that was happening. Of course, Nat was a little or no talker. “That’s impossible,” Fiona muttered before dashing into the kitchen. She shoved the door open and walked inside before anyone could stop her. Perseus had just finished making all the bowls of pasta that were needed and had stored them. He was just closing the refrigerator when she rushed over to him. “Sherry, do you need something?” Perseus asked, knowing fully well that it was only her that could come into the kitchen. Fiona pulled a knife out

    Perseus lifted Sherry from the seat and hurried her into the hospital. All through the drive, Perseus was quiet and didn't say a word when she spoke. It was like he was mad at her, and that made her feel uneasy. “Perseus?” Sherry called. “Are you mad at me?” She asked as soon as he walked into the hospital.Perseus shook his head. “I'm not; I am only worried about you getting injured.“I am already injured.” Sherry smiled at him. “It was all my fault; if I hadn't hurried over to you, I wouldn't have gotten injured.”Perseus stared down at her. “It isn't your fault; it's all his fault. And stop talking.” He leaned in to kiss her. forehead. “Your injury must hurt, so don't talk much.” Sherry's face turned red, and he suddenly remembered what he had just done. His face flushed. “I don't know why I did that.” He muttered. Sherry was too stunned to speak. The air became awkward, and they said nothing to each other. Soon, Sherry left Perseus' arms and was left with the nurses and doct

    “What?” Nathaniel gasped. Kara was not surprised. Lexi peered at Xell. “All of you have to be behind bars, but you are entitled to bail.” She rang the bell, and several cops walked in. “Take them to jail.” She ordered. Xell's phone was taken from him, and so were the others. Eris' frown deepened. “I did that for self-defense,” Eris muttered. “Now, you are putting me in jail because of that?! And then they are innocent! They only witnessed all that happened.” Lexi shook her head. “I know, but Fiona has to tell us what happened too. I'm sorry.” Lexi rubbed the bridge of her nose as she watched the officers take them away. She could do both things about it because there wasn't any evidence that showed that they were innocent. The only thing she had to do was question Fiona at the hospital. That was if she made it alive. Kara glanced at Lexi as she was led away. Lexi returned the gaze, and Kara grinned at her. Lexi gave Kara a questioning look, but Kara looked away. Kara knew tha

    Lexi didn't hear a thing that he was saying. She continued to run, and Perseus ran after her. He fell into step with her, trying to get her attention, but she paid no attention to him. Until she got to the doctor, did she stop? She grabbed the doctor by his collar and slammed him against the wall. “A patient is dying!” Lexi roared. “You have to save her; her ward number is 3009!” Perseus was stunned by Lexi's behavior. The doctor tried to get away from her grip, but she pulled out her gun and aimed it at his belly. “This instant!” Lexi yelled. Perseus tried to grab her, but she elbowed him in the ribs. “You have to,” Lexi mumbled. “Okay, I will.” The doctor blurted out in panic. She was terrified that if he wasted any more time, she was going to shoot him. “Let's get going.” Lexi released the doctor, and he sprinted out of the room to the ward that Lexi wanted him to go to. Perseus stepped closer to Lexi, who was extremely pale. “What happened?” Perseus asked her. Lexi stare

    Perseus pushed open the door to Sherry's room and walked in. Sherry was sitting upright on the bed with a book in her hand. His eyes darted toward her leg. The doctor had said that she wouldn't be able to work on them properly. Also, he hasn't given her the pills since the doctors just left her. He guessed that it would be suspicious to give her the pills and help her heal immediately. He was going to do it gradually until she was completely healed. “You are back.” Sherry muttered without raising her head to look at him. “I was wondering where you went.” Perseus stepped closer to her; Lexi whimpered in his arms, and that caught Sherry's attention. “Who is that?” Sherry asked as she raised her head to look at Perseus. Perseus placed Lexi on the couch and sat on it too. “You should learn to look up at whoever enters your ward, Sherry.” Sherey pouted. “I already knew it was you; I smelled your cologne.” Perseus's brows arched.Sherry had a curious look on her face as Lexi clutch

    Two years later, Perseus was at the airport, having just landed back in his home country after traveling full-time for two years. He hadn’t heard from anyone during that time, as he’d been constantly changing his number while traveling. He had successfully visited 100 countries and would have continued if not for being called home by his aunt.“Perseus!” Sherry’s voice made him flinch as she called out to him.It had been two years since they last spoke. After the game, he had vanished, claiming he wanted to travel.[She waited for you, Iris noted. I doubt the others did.][He glanced at her. <

    Perseus smiled at the cheering crowd, then turned his gaze to the other side of the audience. His eyes widened in embarrassment when he spotted his aunt and Eriane, waving an old, embarrassing photo of him.His aunt was cheering louder than the teenage girls around her, almost as if she were a teenager herself.He wondered how she even knew about the game and its location since he hadn’t invited her. 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. Sam, one of the opposing players, grinned at him, then gave Perseus the middle finger and mouthed, "Loser. We all know how terrible you are at gaming. Stop using your handsome face

    ‘What is my chance of winning now?’ Perseus questioned.Iris glanced at a panel, her eyes widening in shock. [79%][What am I seeing? You have upgraded to level 20 for discovering Forest's secret and finding a way to defeat him.] She squealed.[Is this really true?]A glint of relief slowly washed over Iris. There was hope that Perseus could finally defeat the man who had long wanted his life.[You can beat him now;] Iris claimed. [Just breathe properly.][His skills have been sealed with all of the points you have left. He won’t be able to use them against you anymore.] Iris announced.Perseus glanced at her, and a t

    Forest leaned in, his eyes cold and calculating. "This isn't just a fight. It's a battle of life and death. I often wonder why your parents gave the power I wanted most to you. 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. Not yet."Forest approached him slowly, almost leisurely. "So, what will it be, Perseus? Will you continue to fight and prove yourself? 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 tried when he arrived, but it was impossible.]“Let’s continue with

    [Your death is near, host.] Iris said, appearing next to Perseus, her gaze fixed on Aera.[Why are you following her? Shouldn’t you be in the game?]Perseus glanced at Iris. ‘I should be in the game, but she insisted on treating my injuries first.’[You have to leave her and level up!] Iris cried. [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

    Tossing in bed, Perseus looked away from Iris. “You don’t have to apologize, Iris. Even if I were to die, it wouldn’t be today anyway.”Iris scowled at him. [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

    Ethan handed his phone to Perseus, who glanced at the picture. It was indeed him. They must have gotten it from security footage somewhere.Perseus nodded. “Alright.”“See you later,” Ethan said with a grin. “Don’t go anywhere alone.”“Okay.”Perseus stared at Iris. “I thought I told you to deactivate all of the cameras.”[I did,] she claimed. [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. She grinned at Perseus, a smile crossing her face.“I had something to do,” Perseus replied. “I apologize for arriving late.”“No worries,” Liliana said. “Now that

    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
