As Leo stepped out of the hospital, he was so happy but that happiness shattered as the notification from the system caught him off guard. His heart sank when he read the words.{Task failed.} The notification popped in red light.Confusion and frustration overwhelmed him as he tried to understand what went wrong. He was sure he paid everything, and the nurse at the reception counter also informed him that the payment was successful then what happened?Leo felt a jolt of panic when he read it again and again, the system notification flashed before his eyes as if a breaking news was flashing on the television screen, indicating that the task had failed. What now...?He couldn't comprehend why it happened. Why he failed when he had successfully used all his task money?"What...? How is it a failure?" Leo muttered, trying to make sense of the situation. He checked his phone for any additional information or explanations, but there was nothing more than the brief message he had receiv
On the busy bustling road, cars were honking around loudly, and other heavy and huge vehicles like trucks, and buses were running wild, here and there.It was hopeless for the little kitten to survive. It was trembling with fear, unable to find a way to safety. Instinctively, Leo cared nothing about himself and raged making his way to that little pity thing and scooped it in his arms.Time seemed to slow down as he focused on his stint in hand. He closed his eyes, thinking that everything was done as he was about to reach the sidewalk. But suddenly a truck screeched towards him in a jet speed unknowingly. His heart pounded, knowing that he had to act quickly and decisively. With a deep breath, Leo leaped in determination, using every ounce of his energy. In the blink of an eye, he moved through the chaos avoiding the oncoming truck with a compassion that seemed almost supernatural but accidentally bumped into a car parked near the road. The kitten was safe but was still trembling
Leo closed his eyes as that woman bluntly stared at him, he didn't let her hand go. Opening his eyes he concentrated on her again to read her mind once more, (What the hell is he doing? Why does this man look so familiar, his eyes reassemble someone that I know, and so do his height and figure. Should I just pull off his mask? I can just say that I stumbled. What's wrong in trying it once?) Leo widened his eyes jerking his hands off. But before she could pretend to stumble as an act to cover her trick, Leo jolted back immediately. That woman bumped into her own leg and was about to fall but Leo caught her. "Be careful, Miss" he hissed while helping her stabilize and then moved away,"Good Bye, Miss whatever, stay in touch" That woman stared at his back till he completely disappeared on the horizon, repeatedly thinking about what just happened. How could that man grasp her trick? Moving out of the building Leo smiled at that encounter and at how he exposed her trick. It was almos
Leo never thought of taking any kind of revenge in his whole life despite being treated like trash or even worse than that by those surrounding him, because he was a person of letting everything go. Instead of holding it in forever, he prefers to let it go. He had to endure humiliation, bullying, and so many nerve-wracking things even as a child. He never dared to fight back because he was so weak, but now his life changed so much for good.And he had had enough of those bullies because of which he almost died at their hands for no reason, so he decided to rewrite himself. He understood that it was his foolishness to leave them unpunished. He thought that true happiness comes from living authentically and sincerely without the need to show off his love, and care or seek validation from others. But now his life experience had taught him the other way.He knew now that the true satisfaction lay in wealth and dominance which he never had before but now everything touches his feet bec
A new task and a new spirit revolved around Leonard's mind. He was ready to take on this challenge as well.When he strolled out of the cafe looking around, his gaze fell on an elder woman trying to cross the road.After observing the old lady for quite some time, Leo walked to her. "May I help you?" he said so gently, the old woman looked at him then nodded gratefully.Leo extended his hands politely and grabbed those shopping bags. The old woman smiled and held his hand. Looking carefully at the traffic, waving his hand towards those who needed it, they both crossed the heavy traffic road.Leo was sure that he had successfully completed his first task. She gestured towards a lane before them and they both continued. Moving further she stood before a white building, "Is this where you live?" he asked her, " Tell me which floor so that I can take you" She nodded a no and simply grabbed her bags, moving inside that building. Not even a smile or a 'Thanks'. Leo stood for a few minut
As James effortlessly smacked his third chance to go out, Leo panicked to find another way.All he could do was wait for a better option. And soon that option arrived in the form of Luke, one of his colleagues.The moment Leo saw Luke, he rushed to him and asked him to take care of the cafe.Reading his mind, Leo promised him his favorite Americano coffee.Hmming for a while, Luke agreed and Leo instantly slid away.As walking out he encountered a homeless man seeking shelter from the scorching sun and found him shivering while holding a current pillar.Leo's mind paced, guessing that the man might have been struck by an electric current, Leo ran towards him. Looking for help, Leo found a wooden log and picked it up.As the only option, Leo hit the young man from behind, and that man stumbled forward and fell to the ground."What the heck...!" he yelled jolting Leo.That man was fine in fact, he was perfect with no signs of burnt or suffering.Leo confused and gaped at him while the
Leo's heart swelled with joy as he realized the potential this power held. He envisioned how it could magnify his efforts to complete his tasks. "This is amazing...! I feel like a superhero..." he sizzled excitedly when he almost reached the top of the cafe building.With his newfound ability, he felt he could reach even the most inaccessible places. He pulled his hands to see if anything was special about his hands so that he was able to stick his palm to the wall, like having some kind of sticky fluid secretion or any different texture growth. But there wasn't anything like that and he didn't bother about it either. With great enthusiasm, Leo embarked on his first journey like a superhero from one building to another. But what he didn't notice was those eyes on him, suddenly, a group of street dogs surrounded the building and started barking and making a commotion. Though it was dark, those special eyes are efficient in seeing something crawling up, anyway.Leo hid himself on th
Unbeknownst to Leo, his acts of flowing money like water hadn't gone unnoticed. In the shadows of the city, a powerful mafia gang had been closely observing Leo's spending habits. To them, it seemed like he was a wealthy individual with immense resources at his disposal. The gang saw an opportunity, an opportunity to extort money from what they believed to be a wealthy individual. They devised a plan to approach Leo to demand a hefty sum of money, thinking he wouldn't hesitate to comply. And finally on this day, as Leo left The Diamond Wars, he was approached by a group of intimidating-looking individuals. Their suits and cold, calculating eyes revealed their affiliation with the underground world. As they made him intoxicated, Leo was dragged into a shabby, small hut.When Leo regained consciousness, he found himself in a dimly lit, unfamiliar room. His hands were bound, and he felt a throbbing headache from the chloroform's aftereffects. Panic surged through him as he realized t
