Henry slammed the door shut behind him, not wanting anyone else to come into his room. As he paced back and forth, frustration welled up within him. [ Task #2 ] [ Sense Training ] The hologram finally appeared in front of Henry, and the voice came out of the hologram making Henry turn his all attention towards it. Suddenly, a flickering projection materialised in front of him, taking the form of a girl made of laser. The girl who guided him on the first task was standing there in front of him again. "Hey, Henry! Brace yourself. It's time for your second task," the laser girl exclaimed with a mischievous grin. Her voice crackled with energy, injecting a jolt of excitement into the room. Henry's eyebrows shot up, his eyes widening. "Seriously? What's the deal this time?" The laser girl winked, her glow intensifying. "Listen up. You gotta fight with your eyes closed this time. Trust your instincts, rely on your senses, and kick some butt. This challenge is gonna crank up your
“That's great. I think I will be able to take note of all the things going on.” Henry looked at the chart in front of him as he said to himself.Henry's heart raced with anticipation as he waited for the next task to begin. Somehow, he was excited and was looking forward to it. The laser girl had mentioned that Task 3 would start after a brief rest, and the countdown on the holographic display showed that he had only 30 minutes left.“I should take a rest”, Henry decided to take the girl's advice and rest. He sat on the edge of his bed, taking deep breaths to calm his racing thoughts. He was exhausted both physically and psychologically from the last task's rigour, and he was aware that he would need time to recover before the next one.Henry closed his eyes and let his body unwind, but he couldn't stop thinking about the thrilling parts of Task 2. Fighting with his eyes closed and only using his heightened senses had felt both difficult and empowering.Suddenly, a soft glow envelop
Stepping out of his room, Henry let out a relieving sigh. Enveloping him was the quiet hum of the facility as he stepped into the dimly lit corridor outside. Despite it potentially being nighttime, Henry knew he still had to go and check on himself. His mind was consumed with the idea of convincing Jerry to be his ally as Henry marched quickly to the hospital. Once he arrived, he made his way determinedly to Jerry's location within the facility. Henry arrived at the hospital and saw Louis at the reception desk. With a worried look, Louis quickly walked up to Henry. Louis' worried voice greeted Henry, "Hey, I've been waiting for you. Where did you go in such a hurry? Is everything okay at home? Questions rained down on Henry as soon as the man was in front of him. With a worried expression, Louis interrupted any attempt at an answer to inquire about May's well-being. "How's May?" he asked, looking quite concerned.“Yesss. She is fine. Everything is okay. I just needed to meet someo
Miss Cavil walked tentatively but determinedly inside the hospital room. Jerry sat up in bed, his face etched with bewilderment and tiredness. When their eyes met, a range of feelings—including love, worry, and a strong sense of family—passed between them.We need to discuss, Miss Cavil said, her voice wavering a little. Henry... he has a risky proposal that just could guarantee our safety and end Vincent Sinclair's oppression.Jerry's words became more obstinate as his stare tightened. "Mom, I don't believe Henry. Who knows what he's capable of considering his involvement with Sinclair?”Miss Cavil sat down next to Jerry's bed, her voice a combination of conviction and desperation. "I recognise your reservations, Jerry. Although I have my own misgivings, our alternatives are limited. Henry says he can keep us safe, but he needs our help. We must pay attention to and weigh his ideas.”Jerry clinched his hands while scowling. "Why ought we to believe him? What assurances can we offer
"Great, just what I needed," Henry murmured sarcastically. His annoyance was growing each passing minute. He wanted to get these missions out of his head and focus only on one mission for the time being and that mission was to kill Sinclair. But something inside him urged him to accept the challenge. Perhaps these tasks and these challenges will just make him more smart and physically strong that will help him in getting Sinclair down. In any case, he couldn't pass up the chance to push himself.Henry nodded to himself with determination. "Let's see what this Daily Task has in store for me. I'm not going to back down."The holographic screen vanished, leaving Henry alone on the roadway. He took a deep breath to centre himself for the work at hand. He knew the next instruction would soon appear in front of him so he waited there impatient for another holographic screen to appear before him.Despite his car's sudden breakdown, he realised he had to accept the situation and make the
Henry stood before the wall. His gaze was on the complex symbols that were etched into that wall. He tried to understand their meaning, trying to make sense of their arrangement. Just as he was about to look into the puzzle more, a voice rang through the room, which startled him.He had been so engrossed in his task that he had not noticed the figure that had appeared in the doorway. A mysterious voice echoed in the room. It caught Henry's attention. "Welcome, Henry, to the realm of the Symbolic Key. There are some puzzles on the walls."Henry was surprised and started looking around. He was searching for the source of the voice. Suddenly, a holographic image appeared in front of him, picturing a figure covered in mysterious robes."I am the Guardian of the Symbols, the guide to your challenge," the figure explained. "The symbols before you represent various elements from the MMORPG world."Curiosity built up inside Henry as he questioned, "How do I have to solve this?""You must use
Henry gazed around the treasure chamber in admiration. He gripped the gorgeous sword in his hand. The air in the room appeared to buzz with expectation, as if something was about to happen. Suddenly a voice came out of nowhere, appearing to come from everywhere."[Well done, Henry! You have finished the Symbolic Key challenge. Your wit and knowledge of the realm of MMORPGs have proven to be remarkable.]"As the system announced Henry's achievement, his heart got filled with pride. He gripped the blade tighter as he waited to hear what the system had to say next.."[As your chosen reward, the sword you hold in your hand shall be yours. This blade is diffused with the strength of your determination and the wisdom gained from your previous tasks. May it serve you well in the tasks that will soon come in front of you.]"The voice vibrated with a sense of success, awarding Henry the sword he had selected. The blade shimmered in the golden light of the chamber, as if acknowledging its new
Henry's brow furrowed as he listened to Miss Cavill's explanation. He was disappointed by the lack of specifics, but decided to focus on the job he had. Just as he was about to ask another question, the doors to the great hall opened and Louis came inside hurriedly. Henry's eyes were filled with a mixture of curiosity and mild anger. "Louis, you're late," Henry said matter-of-factly, his voice slightly dismissive. Louis shrugged shyly, avoiding Henry's gaze as he made his way to the sofa. "Sorry, Henry. There was a small setback, but I'm here now." "Okay, everyone's here at last," Henry announced, his voice commanding attention. "Let's get to work." He turned his attention to Miss Cavil, a determined expression on his face. "Miss Cavill, tell us about the mission Vincent recently assigned you. Any information could be important." Miss Cavill turned in her chair, her eyes darting between Henry and the others. He took a deep breath and began to explain, his voice steady and det
