In the dimly lit corridor of his apartment, the soft shuffle of his footsteps was barely audible as he moved closer to the front door. His heart pounded in his chest, a rhythm of fear and anticipation, as he leaned forward to peer through the peephole. A masked man, face obscured behind a dark cloth, holding a gun with an unwavering grip. The door, his last line of defense, showed signs of forceful entry, its frame splintered and broken.Frozen for a moment, he watched as the figures outside prepared to make their next move. The hallway's muted lights cast long shadows that danced around the intruders, adding a macabre spectacle to the scene unfolding before him. The man's breath fogged the peephole, a stark reminder of the peril just inches away. The men outside seemed to inch closer to the door.Clinging to the window's edge, Ryan took a deep breath, feeling the cool air brush against his face. Below him, the city sprawled endlessly, a maze of lights and shadows. With a swift motio

Ryan's breath hitched slightly at the unexpected tenderness of Mrs. Sonya's touch. Mrs. Sonya's hesitation was palpable, the weight of the moment stretching out between them as she finally removed his shirt completely. Mrs. Sonya coughed, turning away to hide her flushed cheeks. She busied herself at the sink, letting the cold water run over the bloodied shirt, as she wrung out the shirt, the water tainted pink with diluted blood swirling down the drain.Mrs. Sonya possessed a beauty that was both striking and serene, a delicabalance that seemed to echo the dualities of her life. Her features held an angelic quality, with soft, gentle curves. Her skin, a flawless canvas, had a subtle glow, yet beneath the surface lay the traces of sleepless nights and worry lines.Her eyes, deep and expressive, were framed by long, dark lashes. Her hair, a cascade of luscious locks, fell around her shoulders in a manner that was both effortless and elegant. Her composure, always calm and collected

With a deep, steadying breath, Ryan focused his intent on the ring. Immediately a blue wide screen materialized before him, ethereal yet unmistakably vivid against the backdrop of the room. The words [Task: get 5000 appreciation points] [Points: 4/5000] Ryan almost choked on his saliva. How was he supposed to suddenly get to a 1000 points?

Before his eyes, runes began to shimmer on the scr

"Where can I get one?" "I want to buy one?" "How much is it?" "Just 10$" A user commented in one of the many posts; "I actually used one. Thank you, Doctor Ryan."

"Hello Mrs Ryan?" Ryan said to the receiver of his phone and he walked towards the exit of his house. "I was about to call you now." "My…daughter...she is dying Ryan," she dropped the bombshell. Ryan clenched his fists on the phone. "Are you at the hospital?" "Yes" Ryan arrived there as quickly as he could but as he arrived at the entrance of the hospital he had a weird feeling that something was off and the more he thought about it the stronger the feeling was. He couldn't place his hands around it but he had a strange foreboding feeling. He dashed through the ward corridors towards a private ward. Just as he pushed open the door he met the gaze of three men all looking suspicious. The bed behind them was empty! "Where is she?" The words slipped out of Ryan's mouth when he locked eyes with one of the men. He wouldn't forget those eyes, this was the same guy that had tried to assassinate him, luckily he had escaped. "You!" The burly man stepped forward with resentment in his
