Report

Ethan had just been admitted into Frontale University—the most prestigious institution in all of Gold City. A school where wealth, power, and influence ruled, attended by the heirs of the richest and most powerful families. Everything changed when Selena, out of spite for Frank—the most influential student on campus—set her sights on Ethan. When she and Frank reconciled, Ethan was not only humiliated but soon suffered an even greater tragedy—his parents were mysteriously killed. Once a high-profile student, Ethan fell to the bottom of the social ladder. Ridiculed and forced to take menial jobs just to afford tuition, he became a target for Frank’s relentless torment. When Ethan finally decided to stand up to him, he was brutally beaten—his hand shattered by a baseball bat. As he lay on the cold ground, life slipping away, a holographic message appeared before him: "WILL YOU DIE A NOBODY OR AVENGE YOURSELF?" With that, the Hell System was activated. Now armed with a power unlike any other, Ethan will rise from the ashes, reclaim what was stolen from him, and uncover the truth behind his parents' deaths—no matter the cost.

    Chapter one

    The hallways of Frontale University reeked of expensive perfums, arrogance, and wealth—none of which belonged to me. I tightened my grip on my worn-out backpack, my knuckles turning white. This was supposed to be my golden ticket, my chance to stand among the elite, to prove that talent and intelligence could break through even the thickest walls of privilege. But that was before everything went to hell. Before Selena. Before Frank. Before I lost everything. “Hey, isn’t that Ethan Summerville?” The voice dripped with mockery, sending a cold chill down my spine. I recognized it instantly—Paul Henderson, one of Frank’s lapdogs. A quick glance told me all I needed to know. He wasn’t alone. I barely had time to react before a shoulder rammed into me, knocking me off balance. My bag hit the marble floor, spilling out its contents—second-hand textbooks, notes scribbled in the margins, and an old phone with a cracked screen. The students burst into laughter. “Damn, you stil

    Chapter two
    Rock Bottom Pain. It was the first thing I felt when I woke up. A deep, bone-deep ache that made it hard to move, hard to breathe. My body ached as I shifted, the taste of blood thick in my mouth. I cracked my swollen eyes open, vision swimming as I tried to piece together what happened. The dim, flickering light of my dorm room cast long shadows against the walls. My sheets were stained with crimson, and the sharp sting along my ribs told me something was definitely broken.The memory came rushing back—his smirk, his fists, the feeling of my body hitting the ground again and again. He didn’t just beat me. He made sure I stayed down. I forced myself up, every movement was painful. My phone lay on the floor, cracked and useless. How long had I been out? The clock on my desk read 3:14 AM. No one had come looking for me. Not that I expected them to. I pressed a hand against my bruised ribs, hissing in pain. My body felt like it had been through a shredder. My face was swollen,

    Chapter three
    I looked at the holographic message right before my eyes and blinked. [ SYSTEM MESSAGE ; DO YOU WANT THE POWER OF THE HELLISH SYSTEM? PRESS YES/NO ] I let out a weird laugh as I turned away from the holographic message. I must have been imagining things. Someone in my state of mind would. I was down to earth with nothing. My cafe job was not paying much. I might as well drop out like Paul asked me too. I could barely keep up with my daily lessons and up keeps. I walked down the silent street with my hands in my warm hoodie. The temperature was dropping since it was almost time for Christmas. I turned each time I walked trying to check if the mysterious message was there, hanging in the thin air. But when I looked, it was gone. Or should I say, it has disappeared. I bent my head with shame. I wish that was actually real. I tilted my head up to look at the road before me and it flashed again before my eyes. [ HELLISH SYSTEM ACTIVATED] [ YOU NEED TO PICK THE OPTIONS.

    Chapter four
    Laughter rippled through the hallway of Frontale University, bouncing off the pristine marble floors and the grand pillars that lined the corridors. I could hear it all around me—the mocking whispers, the amused smirks, and the quiet murmurs of pity and disdain. I clenched my fists, my breath ragged as I pushed myself up from the cold floor. My knees stung from the fall, my hands scraped against the unforgiving tiles. My backpack had spilled open, my few battered notebooks lying scattered like fallen leaves. Paul’s voice was the first to cut through the noise, sharp and laced with cruelty. "And down goes the pauper prince again!" he mocked, nudging his polished shoe against my shoulder, shoving me back down with ease. A fresh round of laughter erupted into the thin air. I looked around and I could see their faces, basking in my pain. But I didn't care, all I wanted was to get a shot, a chance to sit for my exam. Frank, Paul, and the rest of their minions stood over me, basking

    Chapter five
    A sharp, rhythmic beeping pulled me from the darkness. My eyelids felt like they were heavyweight like stones, my body sinking into the stiff mattress beneath me. The scent of antiseptic filled my nostrils, sterile and suffocating. I could hear the faint beeping of the machine above my head as I tried to sit up. I groaned, my head pounding like someone had taken a hammer to it. My fingers twitched against the thin hospital sheet as I tried to push myself up, but a wave of dizziness knocked me back down. Where the hell was I? I pry open eyes as my head throb gently. My vision blurred before sharpening on the white ceiling above me, the fluorescent lights flickering slightly. The rhythmic beeping of the heart monitor beside me matched the erratic thumping in my chest. I tried to move my hand—and that’s when I saw it. The gentle glow of the tattoo. It was glowing again. A deep crimson, pulsing like a living thing beneath my skin. The intricate design twisted and burned, th

    Chapter six
    I stood in front of the receptionist’s desk at the hospital, my fingers tightening around the sleek black card that had mysteriously appeared in my wallet. The Hellish System had given me fifty thousand dollars, and now, it was time to use it."How much is my hospital bill?" I asked, my voice steady but cold.The nurse behind the counter barely spared me a glance. "You were here overnight. The total comes to $3,200, including the emergency treatment and tests."I exhaled slowly. That was a lot of money for a single night, but with my current balance, it was nothing.I slid the card across the desk. The nurse's fingers hesitated over the card before swiping it through the machine. She glanced at the screen, her brows furrowing. "It… it went through?"I smirked. "Of course it did."Her eyes flicked to my hospital gown, then to the worn-out sneakers I’d managed to retrieve from the storage locker. I could see the disbelief on her face."Do you need a receipt?" she asked hesitantly.I sh

    chapter seven
    I pulled out my phone and tapped on the banking app, my thumb hovering over the "Transfer" button. The silence around me was deafening. Every student in the courtyard was frozen in place, their eyes locked onto my screen, waiting.Frank scoffed, crossing his arms. "Yeah, right. No way you're actually doing it."Selena chuckled beside him, flipping her blonde hair over her shoulder. "This is just for show. He’s stalling."I didn’t respond. Instead, I tapped the transfer option and entered the university’s account number.$20,000.My finger hovered over the "Confirm" button."Alright," I said, loud enough for everyone to hear. "Let’s see if I’m bluffing."I pressed the button.A moment later, my screen flashed: Transaction Successful.Then, almost immediately, a chime echoed from the administrative building. The Dean's phone.The crowd turned toward the building in slow motion, like a wave of disbelief washing over them.Seconds later, the Dean himself stepped outside, adjusting his gla

    Chapter eight
    Frank stormed through the crowd, shoving students aside as he made his way toward me. His face was twisted in rage, his hands balled into fists. I barely blinked. I could see the disbelief in his eyes, the rage and the unsettling anger, all rising to the surface. But I was not fazed, not when I am on top of my game. "You think just because you’ve got money now, you’re better than me?" he spat, stopping a few inches away from my face. "You’re still the same pathetic loser you were yesterday, Ethan. And I’m about to remind you of that." I tilted my head. "Go ahead, Frank. Try." I said with a smirk on my face. My eyes darted around and I knew this was just the best way and place to have Frank humiliated. Only if he was dumb enough to fall for it. The crowd hushed. The tension in the air was thick, almost suffocating. Frank sneered and pulled back his fist, ready to punch me. But before he could even swing, something strange happened. A burning sensation shot through my ar

    chapter nine
    Everyone at Frontale University thought I was done for. After the brutal beating I suffered at the hands of Frank, Ethan Gray, and Aiden Reeves, the rumors spread like wildfire. Students whispered in hushed tones, convinced I wouldn’t make it to the prom, let alone set foot on campus again. I tried to push myself up but I could feel some bones cracked within me. I remembered the doctors warning. My body was not fit for another round of beating. I can't take it anymore. Tears flooded my eyes hoping the system would take over, hoping they my tattoo would glow and do something miraculous. probably heal me but nothing happened. Tracy Stewart, my so-called "fake girlfriend," was livid when she heard the news. She stormed through the halls, her sharp heels clicking against the marble floors as she made a beeline toward Frank. Frank, standing confidently with Selena draped over his arm, smirked as she approached. Tracy didn’t waste time. She shoved him hard in the chest, he

    Chapter ten
    Frontale University bubbling with the news of how I had beaten the most ruthless tugs inside the university ground. The fame was new to me. I haven't had so many people give me so much attention after what Selena did to me. " Is that him?" " The kid who single handedly beat up Aiden and Ethan Gray." " Do you think he was lucky?" " Lucky? Why don't you try and see how lucky you can get when you are up close against someone like Ethan and Aiden." The university was in a frenzy mode. While some talked about me being a good fighter, others who were friends with Frank Carter said I was just lucky. If I was lucky then I don't want my luck to run out. Some said I was a freak. They even had the audacity to say it to my face. " Do you think that is normal?" " Don't you see the way he charges at Ethan and Aiden? Does that look normal to you?" " Well, if you ask me then I would say he is done freak. He should be kicked out of the school premises." I walked past
