Dickson’s lips twitched at the words that Eriss said to him. It was more like she had reminded him of how much he hated his last name.

That wasn’t enough to get him angry, and he was ready to make it slide, so he flashed her one of his smiles that made girls drool over him, but she had a frown glued to her face that he almost thought was permanent—even though they were, which he had no idea of.

“Just forget about my last name. You can call me by my first name.” Dickson muttered, reaching to grab her hand that was on the table.

[What a terrible flirt.] Iris muttered, a frown appearing on her face. [He didn’t even try to hide the fact that he was hitting on both ladies.]

Perseus grabbed Dickson’s hand before they could hold Eris. “We are here for business; stop flirting with the ladies while we have something to discuss.”

Dickson nodded, withdrawing his hand yet again with a grin. “You refused to shake my hands the other time, but you are holding them here.”

“It doesn’t matter,” Perseu

    “I have already laid out my deal. Either you let me pay back the money and take the game or take legal action against your company. Thereby, in the process, it leaves a huge stain on it, pulls out all of the investors, and then makes it go bankrupt. It is your choice.” Dickson’s eyes widened. “Is that a warning?”“It is a threat,” Perseus answered. “And I am serious about it. Besides, it wasn’t my company that had the money; the person who did was in jail, but I thought about it. Since I have his shares, why don’t I pay back the money?”Dickson gulped, fear appearing on his face. “I still don’t know if you are lying or not, but I will let you come to my company.”“Why is that?”“I want you to help me identify the one who asked the employees to buy the game,” Dickson replied with a serious look on his face. “I want to put an end to this rivalry between the both of us, and I hope we will end up being allies.”Perseus was silent; Dickson looked different than he had looked earlier. That

    Old man After End sat on a sofa in the living room, he was having a drink with a fellow old man, and they were smiling and laughing at something. Three men were standing not too far away from them. Each of them had a stern look on their faces. He had just raised the glass to his lips to take a sip when one of the guards walked up to him and whispered into his ears. His eyes widened, and the smile on his face slowly disappeared, replaced with a frown. He dropped the glass on the table and rose to his feet.“Is there anything wrong?” The old man sitting opposite him asked, standing up too. “That brat invited the CEO of J.K. into the company and asked him to help take my shares.” Old man AfterEnd snarled. “Not only did he give him shares, but he also gave him more than enough shares that made him the company's second-largest shareholder.”Before the second old man could speak, Old Man AfterEnd turned around and headed for the door. “Wait here for me.” Old man AfterEnd muttered. “Ther

    “Wait here.” Dickson opened the door and waited for Vania to enter. She still had a shock-stricken look on her face as she walked into the office. Dickson was trying his very best not to chuckle at what happened. He had seen her do that to other people, and they all fell for it.He had been worried about it working for Perseus, but when it didn't, he was glad. “We will come back to you when we are ready.” Dickson continued. “Hand over your phone; they aren’t allowed in here.”Although he was lying about it, she calmly handed him the phone without questioning and sat on one of the chairs in the office.Dickson stared at the phone in his hand before turning away and shutting the door behind him. They had already gotten one of the people who might have been involved in stealing the game ideas.After all, it was Eris who made the character's sketches.Dickson walked up to Perseus, who had been waiting seven feet away and was on a phone call with Sherry. She and Adrianna had gone the opp

    "Yes, it is,” Dickson replied with a smile. “I met with the president of the company, and it wasn’t like everyone had thought. He was kind and quite understanding, too. It was so bad that our grandfathers had a misunderstanding between them. However, it has nothing to do with us, so we made up.” Perseus noticed that Dickson skipped the part about introducing him as the president of J.K. If he had done that, then their plans would have been ruined. But he knew that he had to be done before the old man showed up.The manager smiled so brightly that the side of his lips almost touched his ears. “That’s perfect! I had always wondered when it was going to clear up. Thank goodness you became the CEO; if not, I wouldn’t have seen this beautiful moment.“When do you intend to invite the president of J.K. to our company to check it out? We can’t do the same because the company is flawless. I would like to be his tour guide on that day.”Just like an open book, the manager couldn’t hide his ex

    “You what?” Perseus demanded.Iva almost jumped off her seat. Vania was staring at her, expecting her to stay silent about it and not say anything.“Iva is usually nervous in front of influential people,” Vania claimed, nudging Iva on the shoulder again. “Isn’t that right?”Iva shook her head rapidly; she could already tell the lie wouldn’t take them anywhere. “We did it.” She answered.A smile curled up Vania’s lips. Iva had always listened and followed everything she said. “See, she admitted that we made the game together at a sleepover at each other's house. Perhaps the person who lied about us plagiarizing the game was probably jealous of us.”“No!” Iva yelled. “We didn’t create the game idea together at a sleepover. The game was stolen from J.K., and I was made to lie about it being my idea even though I didn’t write it.”Blood drained from Vania’s face as Iva confessed. She nudged Iva again, trying to tell her to take back her words, but Iva rose to her feet instead and moved aw

    “Aren’t you hearing me?” Old man AfterEnd yelled again. “I know you’re in there, so you better open the door, or I’ll let my men kick it open. It’s not like it’s hard to buy another.”Mr. AfterEnd stood just in front of the door, a tall man with graying hair and a stern expression. He had seven men with him: five bodyguards, a man in a suit that looked much like Dickson, and one with a cocky smile on his face, eager to start breaking down the door.“Don’t you dare ignore me! Get out right now if you don’t want to regret it,” Mr. AfterEnd added.The cocky guy stepped forward, cracking his knuckles. “Why wait for them? I could easily get the door open and take us inside. Perhaps your grandson was threatened by him and might be held hostage. You can’t tell.”Mr. AfterEnd shook his head. “That’s impossible. Dickson is too stupid to be held hostage. That’s why I picked him as the CEO in the first place—he wouldn’t notice I was using him and wouldn’t even notice the things happening in the

    Immediately, as Loom’s legs aimed at Dickson, Perseus reacted swiftly. He pulled Dickson out of the way and grabbed Loom’s leg, shoving him backward. Loom did a flip in the air and landed on his feet, his cocky grin still plastered on his face, which irritated Perseus. “You bastard!” Dickson yelled, stepping away from Perseus and throwing a punch at Loom. Loom easily dodged the punch by stepping to the side. Dickson tried again, but Loom avoided it with the same ease. “You still stink at throwing punches, young master,” Loom muttered. “Dickson!” Mr. AfterEnd bellowed, striding into the room with his entourage trailing behind. “You brat, how dare you invite the president of J.K. to our company?” Mr. AfterEnd brushed past Perseus without sparing him a glance. Dickson spun around. “What brought you here, Grandpa?” Vania, who was still being held by Timtat, brightened at the sight of Mr. AfterEnd, thinking she would be saved. “Mr. AfterEnd,” Vania called out. Mr. AfterE

    “Stop!” Loom yelled, lunging at Perseus, his fist clenched tightly. “Stop whatever you are doing to him.”Perseus saw the direction of the punch and quickly dodged. The swift move surprised Loom and the others. Mr. AfterEnd was particularly stunned; Perseus had not only made him reveal secrets he didn’t want to but also dodged a punch that no one had ever evaded before.“How could he have dodged Loom’s punch?” Vania asked, her voice trembling with uncertainty. “Isn’t Loom skilled in various martial arts?”Loom threw another punch, and again, Perseus dodged it with ease.“How is that possible?” Loom muttered to himself.“What’s wrong?” Perseus asked, his brows rising. “Are you terrified that I was able to dodge your punch?”[Good for you for underestimating my host when you both had just met,] Iris chimed in, her focus on Loom. [You should level up your skills before you go against my host.][Hmph.]Loom’s face darkened. All eyes were on them now. Perseus had humiliated him by dodging

    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

  • Chapter 465_Run

    [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
