2024-09-21 00:14:15Thenma stood in the doorway of Adeline’s new apartment, watching as she sat on the couch, staring blankly at the TV.
After earned his first fantastic amount from registration reward, the first thing Thenma wanted to do with the money was to provide his sister a better life. He paid Adeline's top medical service to her physically and mentally's health, and bought a luxury apartment for their new living. Normally, Adeline would asked hundred times to make sure where did Thenma got such a money, but she kept her mouth shut like she didn't care, or she just didn't concerned about that because her head was full of something else. The apartment was modern and clean, with large windows letting in natural light, but the brightness didn’t reach her. Her once vibrant energy was gone, and she seemed like a shadow of the girl she used to be. "Adeline," Thenma said softly, trying to put on a smile. "Look at this place. It’s beautiful, right? You don’t have to worry about anything anymore. We’ve got this new start." Adeline didn’t respond. She barely even looked at him, her gaze distant. "How about we go out today? Get some fresh air? I’ll take you to your favorite café," he added, forcing cheerfulness into his voice. "Or should we go shopping? You can buy anything you want, no need to worry about the money." Adeline shook her head slightly. "I’m… I’m fine here." Thenma’s heart sank. He could feel the heavy weight of guilt pressing down on him. He tried to keep a positive front for her, to charge her up with energy he barely had himself, but nothing seemed to reach her. They had switched roles—he was trying to be the bright, lively one now, while she was drowning in darkness. But under the surface, Thenma’s mind was on one thing: revenge. With his new system that helped him to planning perfect revenge, he got new knowledge and new power to move. Even he had a big desire to slammed Evan's door and just get rid of him right away, the system taught him that he couldn't use his desire only but he needed a way; a tactic. So, while he built his strength with daily tasks from the system, Thenma planned a way to start his revenge, with his system's guide. [Club Overview: - Name: Verona Lounge - Location: Heart of Boston’s affluent district - Owner: Dominic Verelli (62) show more about Dominic Verelli... - Manager: Silas Renoir (45) show more about Silas Renoir... - Clientele: show more about Verona Lounge's top clientele] "This is horrible," said Thenma on his way, inside his new shiny sport car. When the night came, Thenma drove himself to the club; the cursed place when the tragedy occured. The system system told Thenma what to do to revenge Evan and the club was the first place it was told for Thenma to came and complete his first revenge mission. The system also gave Thenma the information that hidden deeply inside the club's big building; Thenma could bet that not everyone knew about this information, including the police. Or they probably knew but they shut their mouth up with money, that might be true since the system told Thenma about their Corrupt Police Ties information. Thenma heard the system telling him about the club's corruption and almost in disbelief. "There's so many chaos in there," he said, "I thought the club used to be a party place, but that club was above than any normal club." [Some night club were made for party and joyful place, but some of them also hid so many corrupts for some people's interest] "Knowing about those things only makes me hate the place more. I swear to God that they'll pay if they don't want to ease my way." "Anyway, you know about everything, right? How could you know about this information? I'm sure that the club's head was hiding this information deep, far from the world. Did you eavesdrop on the conversation of some people who know about these secrets?” [The system can't get the information if it's not written digitally in some another system] [I don't know everything, but I can hack into every system that exists in this world and steal the information inside them] "That's cool," said Thenma, "I'm glad that you choose me, Reve." [Reve...?] "Oh, that's your name from me. You said that your name is The Greatest Revenger, so I call you Reve. What about that?" Thenma laughed awkwardly, but the system gave him a response. [That's cool, Revenger. Thank you] Thenma changed his focus when he arrived to the club. Just like it was usually; crowded, lively and noisy. The atmosphere has not changed, even though someone's life was destroyed in it. Thenma entered the club with a new confidence, his jaw set with determination. The system had guided him here, telling him the truth about the camera footage. This club wasn’t as untouchable as it pretended to be. Thenma headed to the manager's room; deep inside and far from the bustling voice of the club. Thenma ignored the two guards in front the door, facing the mid-forties man with cold, calculating eyes of him. "I want the camera footages of 24 February, now," said Thenma firmly. "You again?" Silas Renoir, closed his book to look at Thenma's face. "I'm sorry but I don't have any reason to obey you, young loser man. Get lost before I call more security." Thenma ignored the sneer and stepped forward, his voice calm. "I wish you to be nice and cooperate with me, corrupt man." "What did you just call me?" "Listen, I don't have long patience to talk. I want you to know that I know this place's secrets, all of that. So, do what I say or I swear you'll lost your job this night." Silas just laughed, disdaining Thenma's threat. "You don't have any good idea to get what you want so you use that cheap fucking threat to me? That'll not work, scum. Get out!" "Do I?" Thenma put his hands on the table, looking sharply at Sila's disdaining eyes when he said, "should I tell everybody about what Sebastian Delacroix did in this place?" And when Silas heard that, his cocky face turned pale. "What about Tobias Granger? Or should I remind you who Julian Corbin's family is?" "How did you know about them?" *** Thenma stood before the towering iron gates of Evan's lavish mansion, the cold wind biting at his face as he stared up at the sprawling estate. His hands clenched at his sides, the weight of everything that had happened pressing down on him. The sleek sports car he'd driven here sat behind him, its engine still cooling as he gathered himself. His mind raced with memories of that night—the night everything changed for him and Adeline. The pain, the humiliation, the screams of his sister. And now, here he was, standing on the precipice of revenge, his new strength and the system’s knowledge at his fingertips. The guards at the gate stood ready to turn him away. One stepped forward, his expression stern. "Sir, you can't be here without an invitation." Thenma didn’t flinch. He wasn’t the same scared, broken boy they once knew. His eyes locked with the guard's, unyielding and fierce. "I'm here to see Evan Clauster." The guard furrowed his brow, unimpressed. "Mr. Clauster is attending an event with his father tonight. You'll have to leave." Thenma took a step forward, his voice low and filled with an underlying threat. "I’m not leaving until I speak with him." The guards exchanged looks. "You’ll have to leave now, sir," the second one said, reaching for his earpiece to call in backup. But Thenma’s patience was long gone. Without warning, he shoved past the guards, ignoring their protests and the rising commotion. He felt the system's presence, guiding him as he maneuvered through the opulent grounds. "Reve, keep an eye out for more guards," Thenma muttered under his breath as he crossed the yard. The system, "Reve," hummed in response, confirming it would alert him to any potential threats. [Alert: Four additional guards on the north side of the mansion. Proceed with caution.] "Got it," Thenma whispered back as he approached the front door. Instead of heading to the main entrance, he slipped around the side, taking a back route the system had mapped out for him. A few minutes later, he found himself inside Evan’s bedroom. The room was the epitome of luxury—silk sheets, designer furniture, a large flat-screen TV mounted on the wall. But Thenma’s focus wasn’t on the décor; it was on the person lounging on the bed. Penelope.

Penelope was sprawled across the mattress like she owned the place, dressed in one of Evan’s shirts, her hair cascading over her shoulders. Her eyes flicked to Thenma as he entered, her expression momentarily startled before it shifted into her usual look of disdain. "Oh, I didn't see ya there," she drawled, a mocking smile playing on her lips. "What are you doing here, Thenma? Did you finally grow a spine, or are you here to get humiliated again?" Thenma stepped further into the room, his jaw tight. "I’m here for Evan. Where is he?" Penelope scoffed, sitting up slightly. "He’s not here, obviously. He’s out at some fancy party with his dad, like you know, he's not an ordinary person with ordinary daily things to do; wake up, survive, then sleep." Penelope still bragging about Evan, forgetting about the evil side of him. No wonder, since they were shared the same devil so they were a perfect match. "What’s the matter, Thenma? Did you really think you could come here and challenge
THE GREATEST REVENGER SYSTEM Breaking Point
Thenma paced outside the emergency room, his heart racing, his mind swirling with dread. The white walls of the hospital felt cold, sterile, and suffocating as he waited for any news about Adeline. His hands trembled, clutching Adeline's phone tightly. Every second felt like an eternity, the weight of guilt pressing down on him harder with each passing moment. As the doctor emerged, Thenma rushed forward like he was running for his life, his voice shaky. "How is she? Is she… Is she okay?" The doctor looked grim. "She overdosed on tranquilizers. We’re doing everything we can, but she’s in a critical condition. You need to prepare yourself for anything." The words hit Thenma like a punch to the gut. His knees buckled slightly, and he caught himself against the wall. "No… no, please… she has to be okay," he whispered, eyes red and glossy with unshed tears. His hands clasped together, fingers digging into his palms as he muttered prayers under his breath. “Please… please, don’t take h
THE GREATEST REVENGER SYSTEM Far From Top
Thenma walked through the school gates after a week of absence, his heart heavy with grief and anger. The weight of Adeline’s condition—her coma—was crushing him. He had tried to focus on other things, but his mind kept drifting back to his sister, lying motionless in that hospital bed, her life hanging by a thread because of the pills that had nearly destroyed her brain. Every time he thought of her, his desire for revenge burned hotter, fiercer. This wasn’t just about justice anymore. It was personal.Thenma made his way to the main building, keeping his head down as he recalled the events of the past week. Penelope's arrest had been all over his mind. He had envisioned it would ruin her reputation, expose her for the fraud she was. The school's "goddess" who had pretended to be perfect was nothing but a drug dealer in disguise, and he had wanted everyone to know that. Thenma would want to see Penelope's followers turn on her, disgusted by the truth.But when Thenma looked around,

The bass-heavy music pounded through the nightclub, vibrating the walls as Thenma slouched over the bar, an empty glass in his hand. His mind was a blur, lost in the haze of alcohol. Neon lights danced over the glossy liquor bottles behind the bar, but none of it mattered. He tilted his head and motioned to the bartender with two fingers."Another one," Thenma mumbled, slurring slightly.The bartender raised an eyebrow but silently refilled his glass. Thenma swirled the amber liquid, watching it slosh against the sides.“Cheers,” he muttered under his breath before downing the shot in one go.Despite the burn in his throat, nothing could numb the weight pressing down on him. His attempt to arresting Penelope had failed spectacularly. No matter how carefully he’d planned, it hadn’t been enough. Evan Clauster’s family influence was everywhere, even among those who were supposed to uphold the law.Thenma clenched his jaw, the taste of bile rising in his throat. Detective Miles, the most
THE GREATEST REVENGER SYSTEM [ARC QUEST: Julian Corbin] Sneaking Into The Nightfangs Territory
The streets of District 7 buzzed with uneasy energy as Thenma parked his car under the shadow of a flickering streetlamp. The air smelled of rust and oil, mingled with the faint bitterness of smoke. Ahead, the underground casino loomed like a beast of shadows and neon, its muted glow spilling across cracked pavement. [New Objective: Infiltrate the Nightfangs' network] Reve’s voice chimed in his mind, cold and steady as always. “Got it,” Thenma muttered, tugging the hood of his jacket lower over his face. His hands brushed against the small earpiece tucked securely in place. “Start scanning for entry points. We don’t have time for games.” [Analyzing... Front access secured by biometric authentication. Alternative entry detected: Side ventilation shaft. Probability of success: 78%. Risk level: Moderate.] Thenma grimaced. “That doesn’t sound promising.” [Risk mitigation advised. Disguise effectiveness may provide higher success rates.] “Fine,” he muttered, pulling a small fa
THE GREATEST REVENGER SYSTEM [ARC QUEST: Julian Corbin] Physical Conditioning Program
Thenma gritted his teeth as the blood from his wound seeped through his jacket. His pulse was a steady thrum in his ears, but it wasn’t the rush of adrenaline anymore—it was the toll of too many close calls. His arm, bleeding freely now, burned with every movement as he swerved the motorbike through the dim, chaotic streets of District 7. "Reve, what's my status?" he muttered through clenched teeth, weaving past a group of pedestrian traffickers who shot him suspicious glances. [Pursuers: Three vehicles detected. Optimal escape route: Overpass 6B. Risk level: High.] Thenma’s grip tightened on the throttle. He didn’t need to hear it. He knew the Nightfangs wouldn’t give up. The sound of roaring engines behind him was enough to know they were still in pursuit. There was no turning back now. He floored the accelerator, the engine roaring in protest, but the adrenaline dulling the pain in his side. The overpass was approaching—a narrow stretch, perfect for a risky maneuver. But the

Two days had passed since Thenma started the Physical Conditioning Program. His body had pushed past every limit—each set of push-ups, each sprint, each hold until his muscles burned. He was too focused on one thing: getting stronger. The pain was temporary. The end goal was what mattered. [Physical Conditioning Program] Objective: Complete exercises to improve strength, endurance, and agility. Exercise Focus: Push-ups, Sprints, Endurance Training. Current Status: Injured. Reduced efficiency. Exercise Results: Strength: +3 Endurance: +4 Agility: +2 But something wasn’t right. His left arm—the one still recovering from injury—was throbbing with sharp, painful jolts. His legs felt like lead, and his breath came in ragged bursts. Sweat soaked his clothes, dripping to the floor. [Warning: Current physical state is critical. Health at 35%. Continuing strenuous exercise could result in permanent injury.] "Just a little more," Thenma grunted, as he dropped to the floor f

Thenma stepping into the hidden room, he thought the figure already leave after the secret door closed. He chose to walked into the secret room after following the figure's way.The first thing that greeted him was a sea of pristine white boxes stacked neatly against the walls. He didn’t need to open one to know what they contained. The faint chemical odor and meticulous arrangement gave it away instantly.His eyes fell on the emblem stamped on the topmost crate: a jagged, fang-like symbol. In the bottom corner of the same crate, small numbers caught his attention."2808…" he murmured, frowning in thought. It clicked quickly. "Today’s the 26th. The shipment’s in two days."A flicker of satisfaction crossed his face, but the moment was short-lived. He turned his attention back to searching for any additional clues about the ship or its route.Before he could get far, the sound of heavy, hurried footsteps echoed through the room, heading toward the exit.Thenma’s instincts flared.

The next day, Thenma made good on his word. He headed straight to the store building he bought for his soon-to-be bakery store. But with the paper in his hand, he made a time to look across the street. He glancing at the paper once more. "So this is the place," he murmured.Katarina, walking beside him while looking at the building, now tilted her head as she tried to saw the paper. "What exactly is this event about?""A campaign staff handed me the flyer," Thenma replied casually. "Said I should join."Katarina frowned. "That doesn’t explain much. What kind of campaign?""Guess we’ll find out," he said with a shrug, his tone nonchalant.Katarina sighed but changed the topic. "By the way, about your sudden idea to open a bakery… You didn’t strike me as the kind of person to jump into that line of work.""Why not?" Thenma asked, glancing at her with a faint smirk.

Welcome Home, Adeline!
The kitchen was a mess. Flour dusted every surface, bowls and spoons piled high in the sink, and the warm scent of cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger lingered heavily in the air. But amidst the chaos, there was triumph.For the first time since he’d started this maddening quest, the cookies tasted like Mary’s. Thanks to Katarina who added a secret ingredient and finally Thenma discovered the 'magic' his mom used to add into her gingerbread. Also thanks that he let Katarina stuck around. Thenma would finally be relief and took Adeline home with his wish on while Katarina was left in the apartment after she said she would take care of the room before Adeline arrived.The following morning, Thenma stood outside the hospital, waiting for Adeline. His breath clouded the crisp winter air, but his spirits were high. He clutched a thermos of coffee in one hand, already picturing Adeline’s face when she tasted the gingerbread cookies. It had been too long since he’d seen her smile.When she finally

Gingerbread Recipe
Thenma stood in the middle of the chaos, wearing a plain black apron over his casual clothes, his hands dusted with flour. He leaned against the counter, staring at the latest batch of gingerbread cookies cooling on a rack. They looked perfect—golden brown with a crisp edge and soft center—but when he bit into one, his expression soured.“Still not right,” he muttered, tossing the half-eaten cookie into the trash.The taste wasn’t bad—far from it. But it wasn’t her gingerbread. No matter how many times he adjusted the spices or changed the baking time, the result felt hollow. He rested his head on his flour-dusted hands, letting out a groan.The scent of cinnamon and nutmeg brought Thenma back to a simpler time—a cold winter night in their cramped, run-down apartment. Their mother, Mary, stood by the tiny oven, her apron frayed at the edges. She was humming softly, her hair falling in loose strands from the bun she always wore.“Mom, can we help?” young Adeline asked, her voice full o

"What do you mean?" Thenma asked, and Katarina answered easily."I’m going to help you with your mission… accompany you? Assist you? I see it as paying you back."Thenma stayed silent for a moment, making Katarina think he was considering it, but then he replied, "No."Katarina frowned in confusion. "No…?""You don’t need to do anything to help me. You know that," Thenma said, glancing at Katarina’s arm, which was wrapped in thick bandages. "This journey is extremely dangerous. I won’t let anyone end up like Adeline just because they tried to help me.""But you’ve already helped me. You freed me from sleepless nights filled with anxiety. I can’t just let you go empty-handed."Thenma looked at Katarina, his cold, faint smile a silent plea for her to understand. "You’ve already helped me," he said. "Getting your father to cooperate with me is more than enough. Or… was that a lie?"Katarina quickly shook her head. "No. My father swore to me he’d help you."Thenma chuckled. He’d only been

No Face, No Shame
Thenma was taken aback by the sudden arrival of Penelope and Kato. They stood at the doorway, looking at him and Adeline with smug smiles. Their presence exuded an oppressive threat-if not for him, then it was undoubtedly magnified for Adeline.Holding a beautiful bouquet of flowers, Penelope stepped forward. "Sorry it took me so long to visit you, Adeline. I didn't think you'd go to such extremes. But because of that, I see now-you've learned our lesson well."Adeline froze, her face pale, her eyes wide with fear. The usually brave Adeline now looked like a drenched, helpless chick. Thenma grabbed Penelope and pulled her aside, his gaze burning with anger."How dare you... Have you no shame?" His voice was laced with menace and hatred. He couldn't believe Penelope and Kato had the audacity to show their faces in front of Adeline-the very reason she was in this state.But Penelope, unbothered, brushed his hand off."I'm just checking in, damn it.

The hallway stretched before Thenma, sterile and dimly lit, each step echoing softly against the polished floor. His shoulder throbbed with every movement, the pain radiating through his body like a relentless reminder of the fight he had barely survived. His legs felt heavy, his breaths labored, but none of it mattered. Not now. Not when Adeline was finally awake.His fingers gripped the wall for support as he paused to steady himself, his mind racing with a mix of anticipation and relief. He pushed forward again, determined. The thought of seeing her after all these months fueled him, dulled the pain, and gave him the strength to continue.Finally, he reached the door. The plaque outside read ICU Room 14. Thenma hesitated for a brief moment, his heart pounding against his ribcage.

Pain radiated from his shoulder and torso, forcing him to settle back against the pillow. His mind raced as he struggled to piece together the events that led him here.Then it hit him—the warehouse, the fire, Julian.The memory of their brutal fight resurfaced, and a wave of satisfaction washed over him.

Immediate action required.][Purchase defensive weapon (20 points)?][Activate self-healing mode (10 points)?]But Thenma's fading consciousness made it impossible to focus.
