"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

    Loom’s eyes widened at the mention of receiving three times his current income. All he had to do was drive a girl to college, watch over her throughout the day, and protect her if necessary.He will also get free food twice a day, save his money, and finally get to eat some homemade meals. Compared to his current stressful job, this sounded like paradise.Plus, Perseus was much stronger than him.“Don’t fool yourself,” Mr. AfterEnd said. “Loom would always choose me. After all, I have treated him well.”Loom gave Mr. AfterEnd a confused look.“That’s right,” Vania agreed.Dickson glared at Vania. “Be quiet.”Loom placed a hand on his chest and slightly bowed to Perseus. “What can I help you with, boss?”A grin spread across Perseus’s lips while Mr. AfterEnd and Vania looked like they had been shot.“Since you are hired,” Perseus murmured, “why don’t you help me take down all the men that came with Mr. AfterEnd? This is to be sure that you are truly on my side. If you can’t do it, I’m

    “Now!” Mr. AfterEnd yelled.The smoke polluted the environment, blinding everyone in the room. The brightness suddenly turned dark. It was more like the device concealed the light and created darkness.It felt more like an illusion than reality. Perseus waved his hand in front of his face.[Night Eyes has been activated.][Since the smoke has caused a partial night, you can use the ability to see through the darkness.]Just as Iris said, Perseus was able to see through the darkness. He looked around the room.Everyone had a glow around them, and the smoke looked like thin wires spread all over the place.Vania was still being held by Timtat. Dickson and Iva were standing next to each other, their gazes focused on the smoke.The five bodyguards who activated the device were being taken down by Loom. Despite the darkness, Loom was managing to handle them.Then Perseus scanned the place for Mr. AfterEnd, but he was no longer in the room.He had taken the chance to escape. Perseus dashed

    Oh, right.”, Luke murmured. “I will get going now; Lexi isn’t here, so they might mess up.”Perseus' eyes darted; he still had no idea if Lexi was awake yet, and he hadn’t called home. Sherry might have skipped school to stay with Lexi, or would she have left?“Has Lexi woken up yet?” Luke asked. “You suddenly disappeared halfway through our conversation the other time; I should have known that you were going after Lexi to save her.”Perseus arched his brows. “Did Iria tell you that?” “Yes, she did. She also claimed that Lexi saved her and also stood by her side even though Orb was holding a knife.” Luke answered. “You deserve more than the article written about you; should I invite the press to interview you?”“You wouldn’t want to do that,” Perseus replied. “I let you off after you made them write that article about me. I won’t let you off if you try to invite the press over here to interview me.”“But you have helped a lot in catching criminals.” “It doesn’t matter.”“Why are you

    Perseus walked in through the front door, his eyes scanning the place for the sight of Sherry. Seeing that she might be upstairs, he walked up the stairs. After reading the message, he excused himself and left.For safety reasons, he had decided to keep the message away from Eris. He could tell that she was angry, and adding that would make her even worse.“Sherry!” He called out to her, pushing the door Lexi was at, and hurried in.Sherry glanced back at him; she was sitting on the bed with Lexi. “Oh, you are home.”His gaze trailed toward Lexi. She had a colored pencil in her hand, and she was scrubbing them on a sheet of paper. “What do you mean by saying she is behaving strangely?” Perseus asked, stepping closer to her and glancing at Lexi.His eyes widened when he saw her doing some children's drawings on the paper. The shapes were weird, and it was a drawing that looked like it was made by a six-year-old.“Since she woke, she had been acting like a six-year-old. I knew that fro

    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
