No one expected much from a gift brought by a nameless nobody.Indeed, most were still contemplating what right a masked nobody had to be in their midst.This was a gathering of names in the gaming industry, names that would be recognizable everywhere.But what about this masked man?... He was unassuming with a dull air about him.So imagine their surprise when Mr. Brewster opened the gift he'd received from that same nameless nobody, only to let out a cry of delight.“A masterpiece!” Mr. Brewster exclaimed with wide eyes, unable to fully process the beauty of the painting before him.Ethan was also partially surprised at the ambiance the painting possessed.Back at the supermarket, it had been quite unassuming but here, it seemed like something had been released, allowing it to reveal its true worth.Instinctively, Mr. Brewster raised the painting and revealed it to the guests, causing many to gasp in shock.It truly was a masterpiece, unlike anything ever seen before.It was like so

Ethan was well aware that Mr. Brewster had good intentions but he wasn't sure if he wanted to get back into the gaming industry so soon.Taking a deep breath, he found himself in a bit of a dilemma.However, it didn't take long for that dilemma to be broken as Kiara approached him.He recognized her as Mr. Brewster” 's first daughter. “Hello, Miss.” Ethan calmly greeted though she remained indifferent.She seemed to look upon him with contempt as she remarked. “You will participate.”“What?”“Don't try to act dumb. I know who you are Zero.”Ethan furrowed his brows before calmly replying. “You sound like you have something you want to say, Miss Kiara.”“I'll say it in the game. I expect you to be there.”“And if I don't participate?” Ethan inquired.“You will,” Kiara replied. “I assure you that you will.”With that, she turned and left, seemingly to make preparations for the upcoming competition.“I don't like her.” Anna intoned at the side.Ethan chuckled. “She's a Brewster.”“She d

The hall was filled with mockery towards Ethan for not knowing his place.Now there was nothing but humiliation awaiting him the moment he lost to Karan.Taking the golden opportunity handed to him on a silver platter, Karan didn't hesitate to make a move, causing his avatar to make a move, scoping Ethan's character with his sniper before taking a shot.Everyone expected it to hit, after all, it was like trying to shoot a scarecrow and though Karan had no place in the top 100, he was said to be an excellent sharpshooter with an 85% hit rate.But then the bullet ended up in the sad, a full meter wide of Ethan's avatar.Immediately, the hall went silent as all eyes shifted from Ethan to Karan.How the hell did he miss such an easy shot was the question on everyone's minds.Karan gulped, feeling the pressure weighing down him as he knew that should have struck Ethan.But though the others hadn't seen it, Kiara had noticed something was off about the way Ethan's avatar was moving.“Just t

Ethan chuckled at Hugo's arrogance in claiming that he wouldn't lose but he had to admit; that Hugo was a tough opponent.He never cheated straightforwardly, instead utilizing loopholes and underhanded actions to get ahead of his opponent.Under normal circumstances, such things would be ignored but at official competitions, doing so resulted in being kicked out.Ethan had a feeling Mr. Brewster didn't plan on kicking Hugo out even if he cheated with the loopholes.If he wanted to, he would have and since he hasn't, it meant only one thing.Mr. Brewster had invited Hugo for one reason and that was for this very moment.He wanted to be certain that the Zero of back then was still around.It was somewhat of a challenge and Ethan had never been one to back away from such.So, he turned to face Hugo. “What happens if I win?”“Didn't I already answer?... I said you won't win.”Still adamant, Ethan proposed his reward. “If I win, you will have to leave this place and never come back. Unders

The housewarming of Dawn Pavilion ended not too long after the competition concluded and naturally, the talking point remained Mr. Brewster's declaration of the rise of the Phantom Gamer.Some thought he was overstepping by claiming that some unknown man would be able to replace the legacy of Zero while others found themselves inclined to accept it.In the first place, they had all seen Phantom's gameplay and it was nothing short of phenomenal.They couldn't help but wonder if this was the start of the rise of a new legend.A few company heads tried to approach Ethan but on realizing that Mr. Brewster had no plans of stepping away from him, they decided to postpone meeting the upstart at a different time. Soon enough, the guests all took their leave with Ethan and Anna the sole exceptions.“Was all that necessary?” Ethan inquired, feeling rather complicated at how the whole thing ended.He had never been one to concede victory in a competition.It felt like he was insulting the other

Ethan awoke the next morning to find that the housewarming party at Dawn Pavilion had entered the front pages of most tabloids with several of them mentioning the Phantom Gamer and what it might mean for Gen-X future.It was rather amusing how it was being hyped up but regardless, he chose not to think too much about it.Aware that Reginald would surely see the news, he knew that he couldn't continue to remain lax, at least, not until the Williams family paid for everything they'd done to him.He needed to speed up his plans and that meant, returning to his streams.It had been quite a while since he streamed though it was understandable considering he'd been steadily releasing content previously.However, it was time to hop back on to gain more resources.With that understanding, he quickly accessed the system.[Oh wow, I can't believe the host still recalls I exist]Ethan rolled his eyes, why did he have to get such a sassy system?It almost sounded like an annoying little sister.“

Ethan had met his fair share of women during his time as Zero but never had he met one as brazen as Louisa.At this point, she wasn't even trying to hide that she wished to spend time with him, and yet for some reason, he couldn't help but find her more attractive.Perhaps because he had never experienced such before.But he didn't allow himself to be baited so easily.He understood that the gap between his status and Louisa's status was too great to bridge even with money.That was the issue with old-money families.They never respected others unless they were in old money as well.For them, the name mattered as much as the money.Without that name, you were better off as a pauper.This meant that his moving around with Louisa was borderline scandalous and could breed problems both for him and for her.He could tell that Louisa was no fool which meant she knew this as well yet she still insisted on doing as she wished.Was she trying to get him into trouble or she had something else

Once he was done speaking with Anna, Ethan stepped out of the house with Louisa in tow.“So I guess we should be heading to the museum?” Louisa intoned as they walked to the garage.Ethan shook his head. “Nah, I don't think I enjoy history well enough to go to a museum today, maybe another time.”“Do you have a better place in mind?” Louisa inquired with Ethan nodding.“Before you arrived, I'd planned on stepping out to carry out some philanthropic work.”“Why?”“Just because. So are you interested in coming along?”Louisa hesitated, pondering the probability of running into anyone she knew.As it was, she wished to avoid that as much as possible for reasons she couldn't reveal to Ethan at this moment.In the first place, the museum was a rather risky place so it made more sense to avoid going there at least for the time being.“Do you have any place to go in mind?”“Sure, the slums are a good place to start.” Ethan calmly replied.“Alright then, I guess we can get going then.”Ethan
