A couple of days later, I was fast approaching my exams. I did most of my things the same except that me and Ariel had been having overnight sessions where she would sleep over and go home the next morning.

I also slowly grew my wealth as I continued to earn from stocks. Satushi had finally responded to me, and I proposed the idea of him working for me to him. At first he was skeptical and in disbelief but when I asked to meet up with him he knew I was serious.

He explained how that wouldn’t be possible as he was very broke and that he didn’t have the funds to transport himself from Japan to America.

I spoke to him for some more days and when I finally gained his trust, he finally agreed. I offered to pay for his flight and accommodation when he got here and he happily accepted.

He didn’t have a job, his family lived in a village away from the city he lived in, he had no girlfriend or special ties with anyone and when I offered him a hefty sum he complied.

And so this was where I curr

    A couple of days has passed since I met Satushi and I put my business life on hold to focus on something else. That something else was my education.Our exams were fast approaching, Ariel was way behind in studies and we thought about what we could to help her catch up.She was far behind in the curriculum at all we did at cram school were revision questions so we both reasoned how we could help her get prepared in time.After contemplating for a long we both came to an agreement and we decided that she would be taking overnight classes at my place.I was perfectly fine without studying, i already used Render a long time ago to accurately write out the exam questions and I’d studied them very well.I considered giving them to Ariel but I figured she would feel much better if she actually got her admission on her own.And besides, I remember vividly that in my past life she had one of the top scores in the entrance exams so I wasn’t bothered by her too much, she was making decent progr

    [Ariel’s POV]It’d been a while since I’d been this happy about spending time with someone. Malcolm and I had become so much closer since that day.I was right, he’d definitely changed, but I never took the time to find out why he’d changed or what changed him and now that he finally opened up to me, I couldn’t have been happier.I was happy because he saw me as someone he could express himself with, I was happy because he felt vulnerable with me, I was happy because he finally opened up to me.Our exams were fast and at first I was very worried about what I would do, but with Malcolm’s guidance and tutelage, I started to feel confident in myself.We were practically living together now, I had to spend the night at his place most times as we would be up studying till late at night.Most times after school I’d cook, and he said he enjoyed my cooking a lot. Sometimes he tried to help with cooking and most times he would end up making a mess and we would both laugh it off.We didn’t speak

    [Malcolm’s POV]As I sat there in the room and awaiting the call, I conjured possible scenarios in my head as to who could’ve wanted me kidnapped and why they would want to kidnap me.I picked up my phone and dialed Logan’s number. It rung a short while before he picked.“Hello, Logan. I have something I neee to ask you” I said.“Give me a second to leave my work area” he said and he excused himself and went to the restroom.“I wasn’t expecting a call from you but you sound like it’s serious, what’s wrong?” He said.“It’s nothing” I didn’t want to get anyone involved in this and I trusted him so I knew it couldn’t have been him. “I was wondering if you’d revealed my identity to anyone?” I asked.“Of course not, why would I? What happened to make you ask me that?” He asked, he sensed something was up and was trying to get to the bottom of it.I wondered if I should tell him, but I quickly changed my mind, this was something I had to do on my own.“I was just curious, I’ll be in touch”

    I knew the location where they were keeping Ariel. I would launch a surprise attack on them before they knew what hit them, they would never see it coming.My increased agility, strength and stamina gave me confidence, but I didn’t feel prepared enough.I knew these guys were probably amateurs based on how they left the room after they left, but I couldn’t underestimate them. For all I knew they could have guns. I couldn’t take any chances.“System?” I said.“Download and install martial arts techniques from all regions of the world and download them to my muscle memory” I said.[Yes] [No]“Is there any way to reduce or avert the pain?” I said.I didn’t have time but I guessed that that would have to do.“Alright, begin the process.” I said.*DOWNLOADING INFORMATION…**DOWNLOAD COMPLETE**TRANSFERRING INFORMATION…1%*With all my preparations being put in place, I threw on a black jacket and a black top with black pants. I would go at night and I waited patiently for the sun to set.

    I was shocked by my own guttural strength. The door weighed at least 300 pounds and I was lifting it easily.I jammed the door into its hinges and walked into the room. I could see that they were prepared for me as they all stood shining flash lights at me.When they stared for a while and realized it was me they all burst into laughter, they must have thought I was a sitting duck and that I’d fallen right into their trap, little did they know that I was the predator and they were the prey.‘I need to find a way to take out their light sources, one of them has a gun, he’s the one I need to target first. If I can get my hands on his gun, I can use it to shoot the other flashlights from their hands, but then I’d also be blinded by the darkness.’ I thought.‘System, do you have a night vision function?’ I asked.[Yes] [No]‘Perfect’ I thought. In my early teenage days Fred would take me to the shooting range on our property and train me on the use of guns. I’d go there whenever I had a

    As he stared at me in disbelief, he suddenly ran and stood in front of Ariel and pulled out a knife from the pocket of the hoodie he was wearing.He placed the knife at her throat, desperation and fear clouding his judgment.“Don’t move, you’re not going to pull the trigger, if you do I’ll slit her throat!” He yelled, a desperate final attempt at redemption.I kept my cool, just to be sure that everything would be under control, I tested out my new skill. It would burn the rest of my stamina but would be worth it.“System, activate Future Sight.” I said.ACTIVATING…In an instant I saw multiple scenes of how the future could play out. Unlike foresight, future sight showed me multiple scenes and lasted longer, it also had a lower cooldown. It was convenient.In the scenarios I’d seen, he didn’t slit her throat in any of them.I began to laugh once again and it annoyed him greatly and then I spoke.“Which do you think would be faster? A bullet or your hand. I’d personally like to find o

    I couldn’t believe my ears, I knew she hated me, but never to this extent. Why would she want to kidnap me? I felt the rage and anger begin to well up within me, but I calmed myself.For years I bore with the preferential treatment my father gave to her and my step brother over me. I bore with the domestic torture she would always put me through.I bore with the constant abuse and slander she would do to me and I bore with not having a family. But I could confidently say that out of everything she’d ever done to me, this was the height of it.I wanted to give her the benefit of the doubt, maybe she would change someday and be a better person, maybe she would even love me like a mother would to her own son.But not anymore, my hatred for her had finally reached its peak and I was done making excuses for her, my father, brother or anyone else.I made up my mind right there and then that i would get my revenge on them for all the years of abuse, negligence and torture.But first of all,

    “Genesis, I don’t intend to engage them in a prolonged battle. My plan is simple: I’ll transport them to a specific location in another world, use Starforge to unleash an all-out attack, and then transport myself back to my world before they can retaliate. I won’t give them a chance to regroup. It will be swift and decisive.”I stood firm in my conviction, determined to see this through, despite the risks.Genesis remained silent for a few moments, processing the information.Genesis let out a long sigh, almost as if the system itself was struggling to come to terms with my proposed plan.[Damon, with the potential for so many things to go wrong, I must give you a more honest assessment of the situation. Based on my calculations, I estimate your chances of success at only 10%. This is an extremely risky endeavor.

    As Vladislav shared his experience with the Player Wars, I couldn't help but grin, a spark of recognition in my eyes. "I've been through it too," I admitted, nodding in solidarity."So you know what it's like then," he said, a sense of camaraderie growing between us."Yes. The Player Wars are no joke. They're brutal, but I survived. I'm still here." I said, a sense of pride and resilience in my voice."Looks like we have more in common than we thought," Vladislav replied.Curious about the skills that made him such a formidable assassin, I asked, "So, what are your skills? What's your main specialty?"Vladislav's eyes narrowed as he considered my question. "Assassination, obviously. My skill set includes Shadow Cloak, which lets me become invisible for a limited time.

    I still felt some sort of apprehension at the fact that the other person in pursuit had escaped, but that was beyond my power now.All I had to do now was focus on what came next, and honestly, I had no idea what to do.‘Genesis, if only you were here,’ I thought to myself. ‘You'd know what to do.’Just as I finished that thought, I was startled by a sudden notification in my mind.NOTICESystem upgrade completed. Rebooting.A progress bar appeared, counting from 0% to 100%.The progress bar steadily crept towards 100%, and I couldn't shake the thought that Genesis would once again be available to me. ‘It'll be back, I'm sure of it,’ I thought, and I felt a surge of optimism and relief washing over me. The assassin, sensing my distraction, cleared his throat. "Do you have a plan?" he asked, a hint of concern in his voice."For now, we return to the safe house. I'll need some time to think things through." My response seemed to placate the assassin, and he nodded in agreement.We mad

    He then explained the quest log that they all received to me.The assassin, still trembling, began to reveal the contents of the quest log that had been shared among all players. His voice shook as he explained that I had been marked as a target, and every player had been transported to this world with the sole purpose of eliminating me. According to the quest, until my demise, none of the players would be able to leave my world. They were granted unrestricted access to their skills, allowing them to utilize their full potential in their pursuit to end my life. The rewards for succeeding in this quest were immensely valuable, with each contributing player being granted a single wish.This revelation shed light on the relentless pursuit I had been facing from them, as well as the desperate lengths that the players were willing to go to claim their rewards. It became clear that, to them, my life was nothing more than a means to an end, a stepping stone to fulfilling their deepest d

    “Now it's my turn,” I said.The two men stared at me in horror, before making their moves.The assassin threw out some pouches to the floor which generated a dark mist, preventing me from seeing them.I brought out my wings and flapped them with so much might that it generated enough wind to disperse the mist.However, they were nowhere to be found.I closed my eyes and heightened my senses, searching intently for any hint that they might have decided to give away.By combining my Draconic senses with Thought Acceleration, I was able to comb the vast expanse of land in mere moments.Suddenly my ears picked something up to my left, it was the assassin, using yet another camouflage skill.I flew toward him at top speed and crashed into the ground right in front of him.I got up and paced angrily toward him. “Give me one good reason why I shouldn't kill you right now,” I said.The assassin, realizing he had been discovered, quickly activated a skill that shrouded him in an aura of dark e

    A wave of confusion swept over me as I watched the two men recoil back in fear of me. "What's going on? Did you feel that too?" the assassin asked, a hint of uncertainty in his voice."Yes, I did," the other man replied, and he locked his eyes onto mine. "I don't know what he did, but he feels like an entirely different person from when I first faced him."I couldn't help but ponder their reactions. ‘Huh? Why did they suddenly back away from me? I don't feel any different from before, so what's wrong?’ I thought, perplexed by the situation.I decided to try contacting Genesis again, hoping to shed some light on the matter. ‘Genesis,’ I thought. However, once again, I received no response.The silence was as puzzling as the men's reactions, and I couldn't help but wonder what had changed. ‘This all began after my meeting with Cognos, what did he do?’ I thoughtDespite the lack of communication from Genesis, I knew I had to press on.“Tch, you snooze you lose, I'm about to steal my p

    A New Power

    Cognos looked at me with a mix of understanding and concern. "You must understand, young one, with great power comes great responsibility. The pursuit of power alone often leads to a dark and destructive path."I felt impatient, my mind was simply fixated on the quest he'd entrusted me with. "How am I supposed to carry out the quest you gave me then?" I asked, and the frustration was clear in my voice.Cognos paused, then reluctantly nodded. "Very well. If power is what you seek, I shall grant it to you. I will give you the power to counter anything that stands in your way."I stepped closer, with a look of curiosity mixing with anticipation. "How?" I asked."Come closer," he said. I complied, and he placed a hand on my head. A comforting warmth spread through me, soothing and invigorating at the same time. It felt like pure energy was flowing into me. When he finally removed his hand, the sensation remained, leaving me feeling stronger and more capable than ever before. I didn't kn
