Perseus peered at Rex, recognizing him from the information he'd reviewed earlier. Rex was 23 years old, the assistant leader of his team, and the second-best player there.“It’s not like I needed it to be accepted,” Eris retorted. “We were late, and I take back our apology. What are you going to do about it anyway?”“You!!” Rex yelled. “How can you take back your apology? Who do you think you are?”“I should say the same to you,” Eris responded. “Do you want us to settle this with a duel?”At the mention of a duel, Rex flinched. There was no way he would accept. If the Top 1 challenges someone lower and wins, the loser must comply with any demand, including leaving the gaming industry forever.“Are you accepting the challenge or not?” Eris questioned. “You were bold enough to talk to us like that. What’s stopping you from agreeing to the duel? Afraid you might lose?”Rex looked like he wanted to argue, but he hesitated. He wasn’t even skilled enough to beat his leader, let alone acce

Perseus glanced at the rest of his team. Both of their gazes lingered on him, and they began to wonder how he had known about the prize the first group would receive.“How did you bring us here so fast?” Savi questioned. “How come I don’t remember coming here?” He checked the distance he had been sitting and how far it was from the place he was currently at.“I feel the same way too,” Cole added.“Me too,” Perseus lied, his gaze not leaving them, nor did it waver. “I just grabbed both of your hands, and we found ourselves here.”Perseus had noticed one thing: his speed had improved drastically, perhaps because he was still merged with Lint. And now, he could move people without actually carrying them.“Why do I feel like you are lying?” Cole asked, adjusting his glasses and peering at Perseus intently. “You know something.”Perseus held his gaze and shook his head. “I do not.”Savi frowned and folded his arms. “We don’t have time to waste,” he began. “Since we’ve taken the lead by bei

"How do you know about my allergies?" Savi demanded, his gaze fixed on Perseus. "I didn’t say anything about it."Perseus raised an eyebrow. "You did. I guess you forgot."Cole was about to say that he hadn’t heard Savi mention any allergies, but Liliana’s voice interrupted them."Now that you've answered the question, Perseus, can you tell me what he is allergic to?"Perseus' eyes darted to Savi, who was watching him closely. Savi wondered if Perseus had just guessed that he had an allergy.Savi grinned, confident that Perseus would never guess the specific allergy."He is allergic to seafood," Perseus answered. "Most especially fish."Savi’s eyes widened, and so did Cole’s."That’s correct!" Liliana chimed. "+2000 points for Perseus."Savi frowned. "I didn’t tell you that! I only said I liked fish.""You did say it," Perseus insisted. "You mentioned it when we were asking each other questions."Savi wanted to argue but was interrupted again."How old is Savi, Perseus?""22," Perseus

Perseus listened as the questions continued, noting the answers given by the others. It took about an hour for the game to finish, and the results were announced six minutes later.Perseus secured the highest score with 350,000 points, followed by Eris with 150,000 points, and Sam in third with 100,000 points. The other participants scored below 50,000, with Cole and Savi failing to earn any points, along with a few others. Only a handful managed to score above 20,000, far below the 50,000-point limit.As the results were called, everyone stared at Perseus with envy. He had more than double the points of the second place and far exceeded the perfect score."The perfect score should have been 200,000 points," Liliana announced. "That's all for the game today. The livestream will continue, but you can return to your rooms until further notice."Perseus liked the sound of that and proceeded to head to his room, but Savi and Cole intercepted him."You owe us an explanation," Cole demanded

Thud! Sam hit the floor unexpectedly, stunning everyone around him. They glanced at him as he hurriedly rose to his feet, wincing from the pain in his leg.“Damn it,” Sam cursed, shocked that he was the one who had fallen instead.“Are you alright?” Perseus asked, holding out his hand for Sam to take. “How could you fall?”Sam took the hand, a grin appearing on his face as he stared at Perseus. “I have no idea.”“Okay,” Perseus said, helping him up and walking away.[Host, you didn’t expect it. So, don’t feel bad when he falls. He deserves it.]Perseus stood next to Eris, who asked him what had happened, while Sam frowned, wondering how he had managed to lose his footing and embarrass himself like that. Dumb as he thought Perseus was, he hadn’t realized that Sam had tried to trip him. But then it hit Sam that the livestream had been on when he fell. His teeth gritted, but he calmed himself and smiled. There was a surprise waiting for Perseus anyway.“The next game will commence as usu

Sam stopped in his tracks, his grin faltering slightly as he looked at the necklace in his hand. "Cheap? You're calling me cheap?" His voice dripped with irritation.Perseus shrugged, feigning indifference. "I mean, look at it. Who would want to waste their points on something like that? Especially when there are better items around."Sam's grip tightened on the necklace. He glanced at it again, a flicker of doubt crossing his face. "Then why were you interested in it?"Perseus laughed lightly. "Interested? I was just curious why you'd waste your time with something so worthless. But hey, if you want to throw away your points on that, be my guest."Sam hesitated, his expression shifting between doubt and anger. The thought of Perseus mocking him for choosing something cheap gnawed at him. He turned the necklace over in his hand, now uncertain about his earlier decision."You know what?" Sam said, tossing the necklace back onto the display. "You're right. It's not worth it."Perseus ke

From the corner, Sam stared at them with a satisfied glint in his eyes. He had planned for this day to come to pass. He could tell that the team was still going to let Perseus in the game and that was going to make Perseus lose the fans he already said "Are you alright?" Eris asked, stepping closer to Perseus, her eyes flashing with anger. Her right hand clenched tightly, her restraint evident as she fought the urge to lash out at the attacker.She could have taken him down, but with the fans watching, she didn’t want to tarnish the team’s reputation.Perseus glanced at her, a faint smile playing on his lips. "I'm fine. It's just a cut anyway."Blood dripped steadily from his wounded hand, staining the floor beneath him."Drag him out of here and hand him over to the cops!" Ethan barked at the security guards. "Make sure he doesn’t get away, and find out who sent him."The man screamed and struggled as he was dragged out of the mall. The Risthans gathered around Perseus, worry etched
My Money Spendrift System Chapter 458_Deal
The Risthans had picked items small enough to fit into their pockets, making it impossible for the others to see what they had chosen. Sam’s smug expression made it clear that he expected them to have picked worthless items."We have them with us," Eris replied coldly. "What does that have to do with you?"Before Sam could reply, Liliana’s voice rang out, cutting through the tension. "The result will be announced in ten seconds."Sam grinned at Eris, clearly relishing the moment. "You guys are going to get the lowest mark here. If I’m wrong, I’ll apologize for speaking to you all like this. But if I’m right, then you all will be my slaves for a day."Eris’s eyes flashed with anger, and she was about to retort when Perseus intervened, his voice steady and controlled. "It’s a deal unless you want to change your punishment."Sam frowned at Perseus. “What do you mean by changing my punishment?”“You said we will be your slaves for a day if we lose, and you will only get to apologize. That

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. <
Chapter 469_Winner
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
Chapter 464_Game
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
Chapter 462_Back to the Mansion
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
