“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 going to deal with you and get rid of all your fingers.” Roman poked him in the chest with his index finger. “You are just a loser that should be castrated and fed to the pigs.”

“What makes you any different from me?” He demanded, scowling back at the men that were slightly taller than him. “Money?”

A smirk curled up on Rowan's lips. “Yes, money changes everything, and you are not the same when it comes to money.”

Perseus stepped back from the man and dug his hand into his pocket. “Don't worry, she is going to leave you later for someone with more money than you. By then, don't say that I didn't warn you.”

Celia, who heard the words, walked up to Perseus and slapped him hard across the face. “How dare you speak that way about me?” Turning her gaze back to the students, she addressed them. “Don't you all forget that he threatened me to date him, and now he is being so cocky. I didn't date him, and I am with Roman, if he doesn't want it. Don't you think we should call the cops?”

“Yes, we have to get someone like him arrested.”

“He is a creep!”

“I wonder how many girls have done this too.”

“He is a man whore!”

“I am calling 911.”

The crowd went on and on, and Perseus winced from the insults that they were giving him.

Call the cops, Perseus eyes darkened, and his head hung low. “Do you have evidence for your accusations?”

“My accusations?” Her head snapped in his direction. “How dare a piece of trash like you say that I am accusing you?”

“What evidence do you have that shows that I threatened you? Weren't you the one who accepted my proposal? Weren't you the one who approached me later after I asked?”

“Stop lying!” She snarled.

Roman placed a hand on Celia's shoulder. “Stay back; I will handle this.”

Celia nodded with a huge grin on her face and stepped back. She stood behind Roman as he glared at Perseus.

“Well, what made you think that you were worthy of her?”

“I didn't say that!” Perseus muttered. “Why are you so dumb? We weren't talking about her; she is a cunt, and I deserve way better.”

“You!” Celia yelled as she tried to lunge at him, but Roman stopped her.

“You were talking about evidence, right?” Roman asked. “

“Exactly.”

“Then you will get one."

Perseus raised a brow at it. “Then where is it?”

“I am the evidence.” Roman grinned at him. “What were you expecting that I would give the evidence to you so that you could destroy it?”

A wide smile crossed Celia's face. “Someone call 911.” She ordered. “He has to be sentenced to jail.”

“He was only asking for the evidence to destroy it.”

“What an asshole?”

“Does he think that he stands a chance against Roman Sullivan?”

“Such a loser didn't know his place.”

“911 would be here soon, but we can let you off if you apologize to us,” Roman muttered. “Would you want to go to jail for this or apologize to us?”

“Apologize? Hah.” Perseus let out a bitter laugh. “I can't go to jail because there is no evidence with you.” He turned around to leave. “I wouldn't be spending any more time with you; I have a paycheck to take. Besides, I would have bought a swimsuit for you if we were still dating. Now my money is all to myself. If you were all mighty Rowan, why didn't she ask you to buy it for her?”

“You!” Roman yelled. “That's enough!” He grabbed Perseus by the shoulder and spun him around.

Before Perseus could blink, three punches hit his face, and he could hear the bone of his nose break. The crowd gasped as the sound of the police siren echoed in the distance.

One of the students stood in front of the others. “If we don't scram away from here, we are going to be questioned until we are drained. Who would want that?”

Panicking, all the students took off like they had appeared. In a matter of seconds, the crowd was gone.

Blood was dripping down Perseus's face as Roman continued to hit him. “How dare you speak to me like that?”

Celia, who was still there, tried to stop Roman. “If you don't leave him and escape, the cops are going to get you instead.”

Roman stopped punching the already weak Perseus, who was struggling to keep his eyes open.

“He could give them a testimony,” Roman muttered through clenched teeth. “I have to get rid of him completely.”

“How?”

“By throwing him at an upcoming vehicle.”

Gasp! Blood drained from Celia's face when she heard that. Instead of saying anything to stop Roman, she hurried into the sports car and hid in it.

Roman, on the other hand, reached for his pocket and pulled out a mask. Wearing it, he glanced at the fast-approaching car. Without a second thought, he threw Persues at the car.

Perseus life flashed in front of his eyes as he flew to his death. He couldn't believe he was going to die this way.

[Ding!]

[The system finally recognized its host.]

You have two choices: accept the system or live. [B::Reject the system and die miserably.]

Perseus, who was half-conscious, ignored the voice in his head and fell to the floor. The driver tried to dodge him, but it was already too late. The car crashed into him, and everything went blank.

He rubbed his head and glanced at it; there was no sign of bandage, nor were there signs of injury.His face was surprisingly smooth for someone who had taken all of those punches.“Why am I still alive?” He asked himself. “Didn't I die when that car hit me?”[Ring!][To them, you are already dead.][Motherfucker, I asked you to accept the system to save your life, but you chose death instead.]Perseus jumped like he had been shot and glanced around the room.

    “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! You have a minute left if you keep on wasting time. Say goodbye to your little cock. Hmph!]The doctor and nurses let out a sigh of relief. “You just have to pay for the fee of him being in the hospital.”“And how much is it?”“Five hundred thousand doll

    “Guys, guys, calm down.” Perseus walked over to them and stroked both of their heads.His roommates were the only ones who genuinely liked him. 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

    “Geez!” Perseus rubbed his face with his palm. “Why do I always have to deal with bitches like you?”Sherry froze with her eyes glued to the screen. His friends looked like they had just been hit by a truck as they stared at the screen.“How…how…is that even possible?” Sherry demanded. “I thought you were poor; how come?”“That was a fake alert, right?” Laura demanded as her head snapped back in his direction. “It is impossible for you to have that amount of money.”Perseus let out a sigh. “I knew that you would doubt me.” He raised his head. “Waiter, can I get my bills?”The crowd began murmuring again.'He is so confident, I doubt that he is poor, like Laura said.’'She is just jealous that her friend has a rich brother, unlike her, who has a bad brother.’The words pierced Laura like a sword, and she guessed she still had a chance against him. “It seems that he made a fake transaction. If he would be able to pay for all of his bills, then I will do as he says.”“Bitch! You made a d

    “What was that about?” Tobias inquired as soon as they got to the school compound. “Why do you have so much money?”“We know that you aren't rich.” Orion added. “How come you did that to Laura and wasted fifteen million today?”Orion and Tobias were pulling their hair in frustration as they glanced at Perseus, whose electric current had just stopped hitting him.[I let you go because I affected Sherry too.]Perseus frowned at the system and was about to lash out at it when Sherry grabbed his hand and peered at him.“Did you feel that?” She inquired.Pretending not to know what she was talking about. 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

    Sherry frowned at the ladies who were pulling at her arm. Perseus, on the other hand, only stared at her.“Ma'am, what kind of villa do you want?"“I can show you the ones that you want."“As long as you are loaded with money, let me attend to you.”Sherry tried to pull her hand away from this grip. “Ladies wait!”The ladies ignored her, and they got into a serious argument. 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. "Sherry, it seems like we wouldn't have to leave anymore.”Perseus followed the lady t

    Everyone's gaze was focused on the direction of the manager's office. The ladies' attention was on the spot and when the manager didn't come after the countdown. The ladies burst into a fist of laughter.“Who do you think you are?” One of the ladies scoffed. “The manager would be here.”Another mimicked Sherry's voice. “In three, two, one.”That made the ladies' laughter increase; they kept on laughing until tears were leaking through their eyes. Sherry's face reddened in anger, her gaze lingering in the direction of the manager's office.‘Hasn't he seen the livestream?’ She thought.“You are just a spoiled brat who thinks that everything works her way.”“I thought you said the CEO would be here; why isn't he here yet?”The snickers of the ladies furrowed Perseus' brows. He studied the reaction on Sherry's face; she had only wanted to help him, but she was getting insulted instead.She stood her ground with her head hanging high as she waited. Just a little more time, and they would s

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.

    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

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

    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

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.

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

[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. 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
