chapter 149His eyelids fluttered shut, his breath hitching in his throat. As he lies on the ground in a pool of his own blood, members of the Oracle organization continued to circle the tables, chanting elusive incantations.She would soon meet her demise if he did not awaken from his slumber. In a mere four minutes, a knife would pierce through her chest and into her heart.Nathan paid more than what he could afford, and now he would pay for his transgressions with the life of his loved one. Only that which brings immense pain to a man shall be deemed a fitting sacrifice by the all-knowing Oracle.The act of killing Hong Fei while Nathan writhed in agony was the final piece needed for their pleas to be heard.The leader of the sect produced a dagger, unlike any ordinary knife. She plunged the blade into a raging fire, drawing it out only when it glowed red. Ethanol was then splashed onto the blade, emitting a shrill sound. She proceeded to dissect Hong Fei's arms, chest, and feet.Bl
Chapter 1 Breakup"You miserable lowlife! Just get the hell out of my house!" Angela screamed. She dragged an overstuffed duffle bag out into the living room."Please, Angie," Nathan said. "We can work this out..." He pleaded in a docile tone, trying to calm his girlfriend down. She had never been this furious with him before."Work out what? Your bankruptcy? How do you plan on doing that when your bank balance is zero?"Nathan hung his head since he was at fault. His salary had been delayed by over a week due to accounting issues. He had promised Angela a new dress for a party she was hosting in the apartment. Therefore, his girlfriend exploded when he came home to inform her that she'd have to wait another week."Go and live on the streets where you belong! I am done with you! We are done!""But I got this apartment for us-""Shut the fuck up, Nathan! How long was I going to listen to your excuses? I left my parents' mansion home to live with you, hoping your business ideas would tak
Chapter 2Nathan stopped at the roadside, closing his eyes, reminiscing on the previous scenario when the sudden notification on his phone disturbed him greatly.He diverted his attention to his phone, and his eyes widened.“Dare you to click if you're man enough!" The message was written in red ink, with a skull as an emoji. Nathan scoffed and had his face squeezed. “So I've become so miserable that even the virus from my phone doubts my capability as a man.“ Nathan cursed busting into a wry smile.He will just ignore and act as if he wasn't a man enough. What's the point of proving that to a mere virus bot? He hissed.“You have just 1 minute or else you'll regret it!“ Nathan received the alert, he glanced over the screen to see the message from the same service provider.“Regret?" He morphed his face into a confused state. “What more have I got to regret?" He pondered. “Crazy bot!“ He teased, smoothing the outer of his shirt.“Why don't you click? You've got nothing to worry about
Chapter 3Nathan breathed down and answered. “ A deliveryman, and please no more questions."Nathan added his last words to cut her off when he sensed that manager Sophia was going to attack him with another question.“Sir, if you ended up wasting our time, you would be locked in a cell without a bail for the next two weeks.“" No prob.“ Nathan remained calm despite their threats and insolent attitude towards him. On the other hand, he was beginning to doubt if the amount in his bank account was real. What if the money were just a piece of his illusions, and weren't real? He panicked. 'But he paid the cabman right?' the words rang in his head so the tension reduced a bit.He hesitated a bit when he was asked to choose his method of payment.“Bank transfer or card withdrawal?" " Card transfer.“ He answered, shoved his hands into his pocket, pulled out the card, and with his trembling hands, handed over the card to them.The manager, upon sighting the card, frowned. The card wasn't eve
Chapter 4'What actions?' the words reverberated in his eardrum.“Give me that, and that, and those. Show me the most expensive shoes and dresses you've here which are worth more than a thousand dollars.“ Nathan spoke confidently.The ladies gasped at his words, with their eyes wide.A thousand dollars? They repeated those words, enunciating each of the words.This must have been a big store but the highest of their clothes was worth only 800 dollars. And this man said he needs clothes which are worth more than that?“Are you sure sir?" Becca said in a slur, doubting Nathan's words." Sure of what? My decision?" He chuckled.“Why would you ask him that? He's a failure, and ashamed that I've caught up with his tricks so he's only trying to cover up by feigning richness. Don't be fooled by his choice of actions.“" What wrong have I done to you for you to bully me in this manner? How do you know I'm a failure and why would you say such? Don't you have any regard for your customers anymor
Chapter 5“That was close,” Nathan muttered, as he stepped forth.It was a relief for him that Angie couldn't see him.He flagged down a taxi back to the hotel which he had lodged earlier on.He arrived at the hotel, in his room, dropping the shopping bag on the bed. Ten designer shirts, and five expensive suits.He smiled, finding it hard to believe he would be able to afford those.[Tim, Tim] the message displayed on the screen.[Congratulations on accomplishing your task.][The next stage would be the installation of a multi-talent system.]“Multi-talent system?" Nathan mumbled, widening his eyes.[Yes, the multi-talent varies such as medical skills, martial arts, and business ideas.] The system displayed.“Medical?" Nathan repeated.[Haven't you dreamt of being a medical doctor ever since your high school?]“Yes." He nodded.[Now it's your chance, the system will be installed in the next twenty hours. ]“Okay," Nathan responded.[System alert!New task loading][The next task is to
Chapter 6[System warning!][Danger!]The words are displayed on the screen boldly in red ink.Nathan panicked as he read through the hologram, which he repeated unknowingly to him. “Danger?" [ A young lady is about to commit suicide. You have just fifty minutes to save her.]“So where?" He was cut off by the system display.[Random bridge off crescent road. Thirty minutes drive from here. Dressed in a yellow body hug, blonde hair, shoulder length.]Nathan flagged down a taxi, informing the driver of his Intended movement.Nathan arrived at the bridge, running out of the taxi. His hope was cut by the view.There were tons of people walking around the bridge. How was he supposed to identify the lady with a yellow body hug?He glided through the croapologizingsing when necessary. He grabbed a girl who was dressed in a yellow tight cloth, the girl tossed her head to glare at him.He apologised,and ran off panting, he spoke.“What's her name? How old is she?"needed to know if she was that
Chapter 7[Yes! ]Nathan shoved his elbow in the air as his heart couldn't contain the joy and excitement within him.[… Congratulations on your achievement. You've just unlocked the next phase, and have earned a bronze star,100 coins, seventy thousand dollars.][Bonus task: Invest in a law firm to earn additional coins. The next task would be revealed upon the completion of this task.]Nathan was quick with the process as he asked Alice the capital required for setting up a law firm.Her last words shocked him.“You not only save my life but also provide a means of income for me, I promised never to let you down, I'll always be loyal to you.“Nathan, shocked at her words, forced some smiles.Even Though he could see the smile on her face, it melted his heart but he was somehow sad and unfulfilled because he hadn't gotten her certificate.Maybe sooner he'd ask how her boss was able to set her up, he'd look for evidence and clear her name off.“System, when am I going to get her certifi
