Louis breezed into Henry office. Henry looked up from his computer and acknowledged him with a bow of his head.

“You said you needed me,” Louis announced.

“Yes.” Henry left his chair, came around and sat on the edge of his office table to he could face Louis.

Louis looked expectantly at him. For the longest time Henry couldn’t speak, he studied Louis silently. He wondered if he should tell him the truth of his mission, of where he would be and when he would be back, but even Henry didn’t know that. He couldn’t tell Louis the details because even he weren’t sure of it. He was literally entering a death trap.

“I’m still waiting,” Louis said. “Why are you staring at me like I did something wrong? What did I do wrong?”

“You didn’t do anything, wrong, Louis. Shut up and let me savor the moment.”

‘What moment?”

“Ugh, you’re so impatient.” Henry stood up and crossed the room. “I’ll be going somewhere far away.”

“You mean like travelling?” Louis swerved in his seat as he smiled. “You’re takin

  • My Wealth System    The Tab

    Henry plunged down into the hole and landed on dirt. His muscles were sore, and felt cramped. Henry groaned as he sat up. He was in a desert, it would seem. He was in the first realm, where everything seemed dead. The sun was hot, and the place felt untouched by human presence. Henry could only imagine the horrors he was yet to uncover all in the quest for his soul. Henry studied the environment around him. The place felt so dry that Henry was sure it had never seen water for years, if ever. The sand seemed endless, and he was in the middle of literally nowhere.“I mean, considering this is another realm,” Henry said to himself. “It is completely understandable.”He picked up his backpack and started to walk. He knew that his madness will envelop here, and he may never remain the same after this. He just needed to get one of his soul back. Just one to prolong his life. If he could have that piece of himself, Henry was sure he would have the strength to get the other souls.[Mr. Henry,

  • My Wealth System    The Monsters.

    The monsters blinked at him. There were all leaf-like and so very tiny, they looked like ants. But Henry knew better than to trust whatever it was. He has been in that desert for so long that he was actually surprised he hadn’t encountered any monsters till now. Now, these ones looked like tiny ants that had the bite of a scorpion.They chirped again, and there was this clicking sound that seemed to emanate from them. Now that he had a quarter of his soul, Henry had a little bit strength. He was still very thirsty, but he had enough strength to run.Henry started to run.The tiny ant and leaf-like monsters screamed and ran after him. They were fast, like an incoming volcano, and Henry knew he could not run for long. He stretched his hand into his backpack and brought out the tab. He opened it, then dung his hand into it.Henry felt his very being sucked into the tab, just as he first the first sting of the monster that bit him. He plunged from the sky and fell to the ground s

    Henry tensed. He didn’t know whether to move or not. He stayed still, hoping the beast would not notice.The beast noticed.It cocked its head and huffed and stinkier breath assaulted Henry’s nostrils. He instinctively blinked and rolled his head to one side. The beast inches backwards snarling, instantly recognizing Henry as a threat. Henry didn’t know what to do but raise his hands up in solidarity. The beast could easily eat him alive if need be. It had a wide face, and wider mouth. It looked like a dog but with much larger jaws. Henry imagined that the jaws would be formidable enough for chewing his prey. Its body had spikes, but only the head had fur. Henry decided that it didn’t look like a dog, rather like a baby spiked dragon, If dragons had no wings. The beast did have tails, and Henry was sure the tails fling him across the room in one strong move.“Don’t kill me yet,” Henry implored. He sounded stupid talking to a beast but he didn’t care. “Just let me stand up, okay?”The

  • My Wealth System    Homer

    Homer growled dangerously, and the thin creature turned to face them. They were seven and transparent. Henry could see the forest beyond their thin bodies. They looked like ghosts, except they were more defined, structured and had slit for where a mouth should be and holes where eyes should be.Henry raised his hands in solidarity, maybe they would listen to him. “I only just want my soul back, man. There’s nothing to fight about, okay?”Homer growled, disagreeing with him. The ghosts tensed, and the one caressing Henry’s soul squeezed it in hand. It was clear that their disagreements stemmed from the blue ball. Henry could see his soul from their transparent hands. One of the ghosts stepped forward and waved an arm in the air. It made a cackle, and Homer cackled back.Henry looked back and forth between them, there was a communication going on. He was amazed. The creatures had a language. He suspected it, but to see it firsthand was truly amazing. He was in other realms where differe

    They both landed on a muddy ground. Henry stood upright on his feet while Homer tried to shake the dirt off his body. There wasn’t really any dirt, but Henry knew what it was to travel through realms, to move in between time and space. It was a heady feeling, a rush that seemed to spin and spin out to nothingness. Henry used to feel that way when he travelled through realms, but his body was beginning to get used to it. Besides, he had two of his souls now, so he had enough strength to search for the third and the forth. Henry took in his surroundings. He liked to do this, to search for immediate threat. So far so good, he was glad he hadn’t landed in the middle of a war or crises of two entities. He wasn’t sure how he would handle that; and he hoped that he would not. The unpredictability of his punishment was enough punishment to last him a lifetime. Henry swore not to fail a task again. He couldn’t even remember the exact thing that’d made him fail, and it was because he constantly

  • My Wealth System    Need to go home!

    Henry quickly grabbed his back pack then he and Homer ran after the ball. As he tried to touch it, the ball eluded him. It was frustrating; it felt as though he had lived his whole life for that moment only for it to slip through his fingers. He stopped running when he could no longer see the ball.“I can’t deal with this any longer,” he said. “I really can’t. I just need to get home, doesn’t he see that?”“Of course he doesn’t,” Henry replied himself in frustration. “How could he? He was torn away from me in the first place anyways, by the system!”He exhaled. The beast cocked its head in confusion, waiting. Henry patted its head Aa they slowed into a trot. Their footsteps were noisy in the quiet place. After a while, Henry made shelter near a cave so he and Homer could sleep.Homer stayed at the entrance of the cave to protect Henry from any imminent danger. Henry appreciated his thoughtfulness, but he was too tired to fully express it. When he laid down, his body went lax and he im

  • My Wealth System    The Last Realm

    Henry landed in the last realm. This would be the last piece of his soul, the key to finally leaving this place. Henry rubbed Homer’s head as he walked briskly to the east, where the tab said his soul would be. Homer hummed under Henry’s hand, and Henry knew he would miss him. It’s was weird being friends with the most dangerous creature he’d met here, but Henry had learnt a lot in the past few days he’d been here. He wondered again what time it was in his own world.“What time is it?” He asked the system.[I’m not sure what time it is here; time is infinite]“I mean what time it is on earth.”[Mr. Henry, you should focus on obtaining your soul]Homer huffed. Henry smiled slightly as he rubbed the beast’s head.“The system is a bit harsh with me,” Henry said.The beast huffed in agreement. They walked silently for some time. Not that Henry’s mind was silent, of course. He kept thinking of time, of how to obtain his soul and leave. He wondered if he would forget the experience he has h

  • My Wealth System    Back

    “Alright, I have to go now.” Henry patted Homer’s head in farewell. “I’ll have to drop you at your world, though. You can’t remain in this unfamiliar environment.”Homer looked at him with sad eyes. Henry knew the beast would miss him. It obviously had not met something that had impacted much influence in him, much less a human. Henry was certain Homer still viewed him as a meat he would like to protect. He didn’t have time for a proper farewell, he had completed his mission and his bed back home called for him more than anything else.Henry opened the tab. Its blue light shone within. He searched for the world Homer had come from, and when he found it, he turned to the beast.“You have to go now.”The beast cocked its head as if to ask, “And how do you intend taking me home?”“I don’t know,” Henry answered his thoughts. “I suppose you’ll step on the tab and it’ll suck you to where you came from? Let’s try it.”Henry dropped the open tab on the ground and knelt down. Homer stared relu

    Henry ended the call immediately after listening to what the nurse told him."What happened?" Louis inquired ok seeing how devastated he was."Someone released Sean from the hospital claiming they are related, how does that makes sense?" Henry was beginning to get so angry."It was Erica." Louis told Henry."You knew it was her and you couldn't stop her? How did you find out that it was her?" Henry queried him"I planted a tracker in her car, I saw that she went to a place and that is not the office, neither Dexter's company. She must have been the one." Louis explained to him."I knew she is up to something, we must find a way to find out what she is up to. She might want to use him or something." Mike added."She didn't know I am out the prison yet right?" Henry wanted to confirm his thoughts."Yes, she didn't know you are out of the prison yet, we need to wait for a while.

Can you get the security footage of everything that happened during our stay there?I think there is a spy there that got it release everything we did, and sent to our rival company." Louis asked Erica for a favor.He knew what he was doing. Even though he will have to loose an evidence that is as strong as that.

Erica assured him with a smirk on her face."You are telling your greatest enemy to do the job for you." She said to herself."Consider it done." She assured him"Thank you very much."
