“I am here; what do you want to talk about?” Perseus said as he peered at her.

Celia gave him a pitiful look, her face filled with that of a locust flower. “Brother Perseus, can't you come in first?”

Perseus retreated, his eyes widening in surprise. That was the first time he had seen Celia be so gentle.

Iris was amazed too. [Host, are you sure that you met with the real Celia? And why is she calling you brother?]

“Are you asking me? If you don't know, how would I know?” Perseus inquired.

“Brother, we once dated; why are you being shy now?” She held his hand and began leading him inside.

“Get off me!” Perseus shoved Celia as soon as her hand touched him. “Why are you calling me brother? We aren't related.”

She bit her lips, the fake smile on her face threatening to break. “I'm sorry.”

[Oh, I already saw through her fake smile.]

Perseus glanced at Iris. “Is she trying to set me up?”

[100%, you are being set up.]

Perseus lips curled into a smile, and that frightened Iris.

    As soon as Perseus fell over, Celia regretted her decision. She loomed over him, and when she realized that the drug had taken effect, she was devastated.“What do I have to do to stop the dreams?” She asked as she shook him. Her body was trembling, and Perseus was loving every bit of everything. [Wake up and complete your sentence.][Don't you see how scared she is?]“Not my business.” Perseus replied in a singing tone. “Iris, can you send a text to her?” [What text?]Perseus whispered the words to Iris, and she grinned with mischief. [Done, host.]Just then, a message popped into Celia's phone. She stared at the phone, her eyes widening as she saw who sent the message. She reached out to pick up the phone with trembling hands and read the message. “If you want to end your nightmare, make sure to save me all by yourself without the help of others. If you fail, you might die in dreams tonight.”The phone fell off her hands, and she let out a shriek. She clutched to herself in t

    Tyler tossed Perseus at the back of his truck as soon as he got to it. Perseus' face slammed against the hard ground, and he forced himself not to groan.[Healing ability activated.]Perseus stayed in the same spot as the truck began moving. His body was fully healed now and didn't hurt anymore.[Host, have you made a plan?]“I don't have a plan,” Perseus said plainly.[How could you not have a plan?] Iris demanded.“I stink at making plans, okay? I just let things go as they come; it depends on where he is taking me.”I wonder how you are still alive without any plans. If it wasn't for me, I guess you didn't have any plans for your life.Perseus's brows twitched in anger. “I hate to admit it, but you are right. Now what's the plan?”Iris smiled at him. [Leave it to me.]The car pulled over in front of a warehouse, and Perseus rolled his eyes. Why do they often pick an abandoned warehouse all the time?He closed his eyes when Tyler came into view. Lifting Perseus on his shoulder, Tyle

    The killers peered up at Perseus as he got to their table. Perseus glared at them, and before they could blink, he raised the table and slammed it hard against the two serial killers' faces.“Get him!” Tyler yelled.The killers pulled out various sharp knives that he hadn't seen before. Perseus backed away from them.“This wasn't part of the job description, Iris! You never said they have knives!”[I did say they were serial killers; what else do you want to hear?!]Perseus glanced at the serial killers in front of him; they had a look of mania in their eyes.“Send a text to Lexi; tell her we found the serial killers and drop this address,” Perseus ordered.[Yes, host.]The serial killers lunged at Perseus, and they broke into a fight.On the other hand, Lexi had arrested Celia and was heading for her car when the text message entered. She wanted to ignore it since it was from Perseus and there was a serious thing at hand.However, she opened it and read the message. A frown crossed h

    [We are close to the building now.] Iris floated above his head before landing in front of the car glass.“I can see that,” Perseus responded, looking at the rearview mirror to see if someone was following him.[You don't have a plan again! Heading to someone's house to fight him is sometimes suicide.]Perseus arched his brow. “You mean there might be hidden traps and things I have no idea about? I thought so too.”[And you are still heading in?] Iris turned around to look at him.He nodded his head before driving past Calton Darius's gate. The gate was large and black, and there were vines all over it.If Perseus couldn't see the inside and the bright light coming from inside, He might think that the building was empty.[Are you driving past it?] Iris demanded. [Do you need anything?]Perseus shook his head.[Then what?]“Stopping the car in front of the gate is going to attract attention. Like you said, I have no idea what's in there,” Perseus began.[Right.]“So, I have to sneak in

    Calton heard the sounds of footsteps leaving the door. He was sitting on a large chair at the edge of the room, next to the window.There were ten men standing in front of the door, their eyes glued to the screen that was in front of them.The screen was connected to the cameras around the house, making him able to see the rest of the house. He watched the intruder in his house walk back away from the door.“As soon as he enters, knock the shit out of him!” he ordered.The men nodded their heads in agreement. Calton returned his gaze to the screen, his mind skipping a beat when he couldn't find the intruder.In his state of panic, the front door burst open. His men were sent flying as something invisible attacked them. Calton rose to his feet as fast as he could.Since he couldn't see what it was, he tried to get to the door before he was spotted.On the other hand, Perseus grabbed the last man by his collar, and the invisible coat was deactivated. Seeing that he couldn't get past the

    Sherry rolled her eyes as her cousin tried to deny the fact that she had been worried about Perseus. “I was only checking up on him; didn't you see the news? The serial killers have been caught, and the cops claimed a good citizen did it.” Eris announced, purpose lingering in her voice as she changed the topic of discussion. Sherry's head tilted to the side. “I never heard of the serial killers, though; when did they start?”Eris raised three fingers. “Three years ago, but can you guess what is more shocking?” Sherry shook her head. “Celia was part of them; she was arrested by the cops. However, the cops also think that she might be a victim too.” Perseus wondered how Eris got to know all that happened that night. He was slightly grateful for the fact that she had no idea he was involved in it.“How do you know that?” Sherry asked. Eris showed no emotion. “I listened to the news, and I also asked Harrison for the details of what happened.” “Who is Harrison?” Perseus inquired, a

    Perseus walked into the station with his hands in his pockets. His eyes scanned the environment for Lexi, but she was nowhere in sight.“How may I help you?” A sheriff behind the desk inquired. “I have an appointment with Lexi; can I see her?” “She is currently not available.” The woman responded. “You might want to sit and wait for her.” Perseus didn't like the idea. “Can I know where she went?”The woman shook her head. “It's a secret mission, sir; if you are having any difficulties, I can help.”Perseus sighed, turned around, and walked out of the station. He couldn't help but wonder where Lexi went.He took out his phone and texted her, but she didn't reply. “Iris, track down the location of Lexi.” He ordered.[Tracking…one point per minute.]It didn't take time for the panel to float next to him. Perseus headed for his car and began driving towards the location. [I might want to add that the target seems to be in danger.]Perseus' eyes widened in shock, and his feet slammed

    “How many minutes are left for the bomb to go off, Iris?” Perseus asked, torn between the two paths. [Six minutes.]Six minutes? That wasn't enough time for him to find the bomb, not to mention stop it. “Track the bomb for me, Iris.”[Tracking the bomb, 3 clockwise directions east.]The others had gone the opposite way; he knew that they had split up. He dashed in the east direction, his eyes scanning everywhere for the bomb. He got to the spot where the bomb was planted, and he glanced around the place. When he found the bomb, the timer had only three minutes left.He bent over the table that the bomb was strapped to and peered at it. His jaw flexed as he thought of what to do. “Iris, how do I dismantle that bomb?”Iris showed no emotion. [You have to figure it out yourself.]The timer on the bomb ticked away, and every second felt like an eternity. He took a deep breath, trying to stay calm and focused. His eyes darted around the device, looking for a way to disable it without t

    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
