“I thought you said I was going to make you late,” Perseus muttered.

Sherry glanced at him through the mirror. “Would you stop saying that? No one knew if you bathed.”

“What made you think I wouldn't bathe?” He inquired.

“Stop arguing, you two. We have more things to worry about.” Eris chimed.

“Hmph!” Sherry pouted.

“I will just read a book while she styles her hair.” He responded. “Eris, care to share your books?”

“You haven’t read a thing?” Eris demanded.

“Yes, I haven’t.”

“And you expect me to believe you will understand anything you read now?”

“I will understand everything.” He reassured her.

“That’s not possible!” Eris yelled.

“Cut it out, you two.” Sherry chirped in. “Just give the book to him; perhaps he had read something and wanted to revise.”

Eris hesitated before opening her bag and handing the book to him.

“Thanks.” He took the book and sat on the couch.

He began scanning the book with his eyes, page by page. Eris was watching everything he was doing with a confused look o

    “Are you surprised?” Delinder asked. “I knew you wouldn’t come to see me if I invited you, so I did this. Are you impressed?”Perseus shook his head. “I am not.”“Huh? Why?” She looked disappointed that he said that.He ran his hand through his hair. He couldn’t believe that she was going to go all those lengths to see him.“What was I expecting anyway? You had made it clear that day that you didn’t want anything to do with me, but I am now your fiance. My father approved of our relationship and even made you my fiance. So you have to treat me like one.”Perseus' jaw dropped. “Hold your horses. I am already engaged to Sherry. There is no way that I am engaged to you. Besides, it was only a contract for us to pretend to date to stop your engagement with Van.”Delinder placed a finger on her chin. “But I don’t remember us signing any contracts. Do you have evidence to back up your claims?”It was then that he remembered that they didn’t sign any contracts.[That’s a huge mistake, host.]

    It was after three classes that Perseus went to grab lunch. Since he hadn’t eaten since morning, he was starving. Although he could have just ordered or gone to a restaurant, he didn’t want to go through all the trouble. He also hadn’t seen Delinder since that incident, and he had no shared classes with Sherry either. “What’s your order?” the food vendor asked him. Then, he realized it was his turn to get his order. After telling her all he wanted, he carried his tray to a seat and sat. He was just about to shove a spoonful into his mouth when Zeppelin joined him. “Hey, Perseus.” Zeppelin was beaming with smiles as he spoke. “It’s been a while. Aren’t we brothers? Why are we staying away from each other?” Perseus paused. “I don’t know either," he said as he shoved the spoon into his mouth. “Well, tasty.” “I didn’t want to eat at the cafeteria, but I had no other choice because I wanted to speak to you.” Raising his head to look at Zeppelin, he asked. “What do you want to talk a

    “Does it matter?” Perseus asked casually. “We recently just figured out that we are related, and I introduced you to the rest of the family. All you had to do was stay low with them, and I will deal with this. They know me, but they don’t know about you. Our parents separating us was a great idea. Now if I were to die, you would be safe.”The spoon in Zeppelin’s grip was already broken. “What are you talking about? We were friends before we did DNA! We should have gotten even closer, but you go ahead and do stuff without me.”“I had been doing it alone before you appeared, so I figured it would be better to do it alone. I didn’t tell you because I didn’t want to burden you, and I wanted to keep you safe.”Perseus studied Zeppelin’s expression. He hadn’t seen Zeppelin look like that before. He remembered that Iris had told him to tell Zeppelin and bring him along, but he had refused. Was this a punishment for his refusal?“You shouldn’t shoulder all the burden! You have done enough fo

    “How long have you been able to see it?” Perseus asked.“It’s been a while, but I would say that I have been seeing it since we first met, but on the day we were in class together, I saw it properly.”Perseus sighed. “I was suspicious about you seeing it then,” Perseus replied, clasping his hands together. “Then, let’s forget about that. What is the thing you found out about our parents?”Zeppelin went quiet for a while. He stared at Perseus like he was joking about adding him to his investigation.“Before I talk about that, I would like to apologize for saying that you aren't doing anything to find our parents’s killers. And I take back my words that you are chasing after women.” Zeppelin apologized. “That was a terrible thing for me to say. I guess I was triggered by the news I saw this morning about you and that mayor’s daughter. I am sorry.”“It’s nothing,” Perseus replied. “It was all a mistake, I understand. So, let’s get into it. Lexi showed me something she got this morning. I

    Mr. Kurt slammed his fist against the table as soon as Lexi left. He still couldn’t believe that he was wrong. He had never been wrong about such a thing, yet she just proved to him that he was wrong.He leaned back against the chair, rubbing his forehead in frustration. Mr. Hope was going to be angry with him if he was unable to bring the files. If Lexi didn’t take the files, does that mean that she didn’t search for them enough?He removed his hand from his face and stood up. Grabbing the keys from his table, he hurried out of his office, determined to find the files.As soon as he left his office, he was out of sight. Lexi walked out of her hiding spot, a few steps away from his office. She stared at the direction he ran off in. The first thing she did after that was to disconnect the camera in his office and walk into his office.She searched his table, the shelves, and everything else. After a few minutes of searching, she didn’t find anything that was related to Perseus’s parent

    Perseus stood in front of the villa, glancing at his wristwatch. Time was running out, and she wasn’t there yet; she had only said that she only needed to pick an outfit. He couldn’t understand why it was taking so long.“Be patient.” Zeppelin appeared next to him. In such a situation, he was expecting Iris to pop out and talk to him, but after that incident at the cafeteria, She had avoided coming out when Zeppelin was there.She claimed that it made her uncomfortable to be seen by someone else who wasn’t her host, and she also told him that she was going to research to know why he could see her and figure out how to stop it.“She is going to be done for a while. Eris said you both should have gone to the gaming practice, but you are spending the time on a date,” Zeppelin added.Perseus shrugged. “We have tried going on dates a few times, but all that happens is her getting kidnapped, now that there isn’t any danger, I have to go on a date with her; after all, she is my fiance.”“Hmm

    The car came to a halt in front of the shopping store. Sherry spoke to her fans as she reached out to open the door, but Perseus was already on the other side, opening the door for her. It had been a while since the both of them went shopping, and as a shopping freak, she had missed her terrible bad habit.She murmured thanks as Perseus took her hand and led her towards the store. Her livestream was still on, and she had the camera facing Perseus. She tried to hold in her giggles as she read what they were saying about it.‘Why is he so tall?’‘Look how serious he is about shopping. He is willing to spend a lot since he is taking the queen of shopping for shopping.’‘Does he have an idea that he started her livestream with shopping and tons of shopping?’‘Oh my god, this is going to be so fun.’‘Sherry, buy a lot of things that are worth more than $20 million.’‘It would be great to see his reaction, haha.’Sherry wanted to complain that the amount they called was too much, but she si

    Karen was not hearing a thing; she couldn't believe that she could be fired just because of a word from him. “How are you so sure that he is the real boss? He could just be a con artist who acts that way because of his views. I have seen people like him!” Karen bellowed. “You must be making a mistake!”Perseus glared at Karen, and Mr. Goel was more concerned with keeping his job than listening to anything Karen was saying. “How dare you say that I made a mistake?” Goel yelled at her before Perseus got mad. “I was personally there when the previous boss sold his company!”Perseus had no idea how that happened. He didn't know how Iris was able to negotiate and buy the company without a real body.[Is that an insult, host?] Iris questioned. [Although I don't have a real body, there isn't anything stopping me from being able to negotiate and get you what you want.][I just have to know what you want and get it for you. It isn't that big of a deal.]Perseus stared at her. “I was just wo

    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
