The lights were blinding. Henry instinctively closed his eyes back. He waited for a moment, then slowly opened it in every inch, allowing his eyes to get used to his environment. His memory took him back to when he had travelled realms just to get the pieces of his souls that were scattered about. The system had been brutal with him, but at least he needed it had helped him more. Henry did not believe that he would die easily with the system gone, the way the old man had. In fact, he knew the old man must have had other things about him, other reasons as to why he aged that fast.

Henry would never know, since the man in question wasn’t there to answer his queries about his life. He even doubted that he lived a stable, emulative lifestyle. He probably just did things he wasn’t supposed to; because it felt odd that he had died that quickly. Did he break a law? Refuse countless tasks? Henry wouldn’t know, but now that he was here, he was certain that the absence of the system would never

    Henry turned away. It would be a mess to have a conversation with that kind of guy who looked like one that was sort of the shit hole that he had fabricated. It may even be the trance that he was talking about, but Henry was not about to be affiliated with that kind of man. He needed to know what was going on from someone who spoke wisely, had nice set of teeth, looked determined with minimal tattoos. He had nothing against people who had tattoos, but Henry would not just speak to someone who looked mad. He needed as much information as he could get so he would start going home after receiving his system. Louis was back there all alone and would not possibly handle the company in the situation that was in. Henry brushed away the thought; if he thinks too much about the company, he would be bound to stay there for more days than he thought he should.He stepped in front of someone, and the person immediately wrapped their hand on his arm and drew him back. It was a lady. She spoke flue

  • My Wealth System    Naked Man

    WAS he really naked? Henry peered closer and saw that he was indeed naked, only that his privates were blurred. Blurred with what, exactly? He didn’t know, except that the man’s private looked empty and looked like skin. It seemed as if he was looking at a truly naked man without the organs to make one embarrassing.“This is weird,” the Chinese girl said. “Are you seeing what I’m seeing?”“The naked man but not naked man? Yes,” Henry said.“I thought it’s different for everyone, that people see things separately. Glad to see that this is not.”Henry glanced at her when she spoke. She really knew a lot of things that he would like to know too, but for the life of him he couldn’t fathom why she was being so defensive in sharing knowledge. Did she think she would survive on her own? Henry decided to move back a little, to distance himself. He would watch from this angle and try to ascertain what was going on. Other than that, he won’t disturb the girl again. Besides, if this thing were t

    Nobody said anything for some time. They were all contemplating what the naked man said. Apparently the system and machines had left because they no longer wanted to serve humans, but they left so abruptly that it affected the lives of the humans they’d been with. Henry came to realize that they system was never for one person, never for him alone. They had all been programmed to serve specific individuals, and a sort of attachment thread had grown over the years. That was the only thing that explained the reasons why there were so many people, way too much people here. They came to claim their systems back because they had grown too attached. Henry specifically didn’t believe all of what the old man who led him here had spilled. It couldn’t possibly be absence of the system that made him that way. Yes, he’d sacrifice his life for Henry to come here, such as how everyone here had people who sacrificed their own lives for them to make it. It was suddenly so global and huge for Henry to

    They were led to a large base with hundreds of clothes handing from barbed wire of the fence. The naked man simply pointed to the clothes, and they all hurriedly removed their clothes and dressed. Henry removed his shirt and trousers, staying only on his boxers before putting on the mustard colored joggers. Zhixi drew her clothes over her head and reached for a jogger. She was wearing matching black underwear. Henry averted his eyes away from her; not that the men did. As a matter of fact, none of the men averted their eyes from more than a dozen women who were changing into their clothes. Not that any of it mattered, seeing that this was a near war zone and stuff like nudity should be far from anyone’s mind.“Now my dearest one,” the naked man said. “My duty here is done. Ralph shall take over from now. Remember, time is of the essence.”The naked man floated away and Ralph appeared. Ralph was a machine that took the shape of an able old man. The stillness of his eyes that refused to

    Henry stepped back. He glanced to his side and saw that Zhixi had gotten the number 130 on her wrist. Like him and many others, she was edging backwards. Unlike him and many others, she wasn’t afraid. There was that blunt determined look in her countenance, like she was ready for anything but at the same time she didn’t want to give it away. Henry was interested in her. He wanted to know how she thought; she seemed quite smart for her age. Henry looked away and tried to re-strategize. Zhixi would have to come later, that is if she survived the attack. The worm roared again, but this time Henry was prepared. He turned his face away and turned to the other side. The maggot’s breath stank of dead, vile things. The worm rolled to his side, crushing about two people in the process. They would have to kill it in any way they could, seeing as they had no weapons. People started to cuddle close to each other. The enemy of the fellow men made them instant companions.“We need to surround it,”

    Everyone watched the dead worm. Its insides consisted of mostly yellowish liquid that smelled utterly disgusting. The smell was so overpowering that everyone stepped away from it and the boy that was covered in it. The first training was brutal. There were at least a hundred more casualties. It felt like a joke at first until it wasn’t. Henry peeped Zhixi from a distance; somehow she had managed to stay clear out the monster’s way. She only chased it for a bit, in which others joined in the chase and made it distracted. Now it seemed like there were very few of them left, at least a hundred or more. The monster had easily taken out a large number by squishing them to death.The naked man popped out of nowhere, floating and examining the damage. He smiled as he floated away again, saying nothing. Everyone’s eyes were on him until he disappeared, then they all looked back at the field. The blood on the ground caused by the squishing was unbelievable. Henry didn’t understand how fragile

    They were led to a large hall where they were numerous bunks and beds. It was a two layered bunk, and there were about 200 hundreds there. Ralph waved his hand and many of the bunks disappeared, leaving just about the number of the people left. He waved his hand about, and the ganged up people rushed to pick bunks and corners that were easy and accessible to them. It was Leroy who picked for Henry’s group; preferring to stay on top while Henry stayed below him. Zhixi stayed down too because a man was above her on the bunk. She was watchful, eyes wide and suspicious as she looked at every little thing. The man leered at her and licked his mouth, which kept Henry at edge.“Let me stay on your bed,” he offered. “You can stay on mine since Leroy’s above me.”Zhixi rolled her eyes and touched his arm gently. “Listen Henry, you’re the only one I trust here, and my trust doesn’t come easily, mind you.”She looked around naturally, pocking her head here and there, but Henry knew better.

    Henry stared only for a short moment before he vanished down the hall. What use was deciphering what kind of gas it was when he would still end up the same way? Besides, it wasn’t like he was going to stand there and examine it quickly; there was simply no time to and he needed to hurry up before anyone saw him there. All Henry knew was that it was a sleep induced gas. Now he understood how it was able to affect everyone into a deep slumber; considering that the night should have been chaotic and full of dead bodies of unfortunate people. There always will be someone willing to kill another for something they so desperately want, and everyone was desperate for the system.The nagging sensation within him persisted. Why did they need the gas to put everyone in deep slumber considering that they needed as less people as possible to take the system? Was it preserving life? Was the gas a slow poison meant to eat away at them until they died, not one left to survive and take the system? T

He remembered how broke he was when he caught her.He remembered how he loosed all hope after she confessed everything to him. After she told him he doesn't love her."Why do I have to dress up?" He asked himself when he noticed how nicely he was dressing."Whatever." He muttered under his breath. Henry already told Evelyn about the meeting. He walked out of the bedroom, and saw Louis waiting for him."Don't tell me you are this well dresses because of her." Louis winked at him."Me? This is just a casual well, and I am well dressed because I want to dress nicely." He said to Louis"Woah, are you going to meet up with a girl? Is he going on a blind date?"

    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. His main aim was to confirm if Erica was the spy, and if she has someone she is working for."Sure, I will do 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."
