“This is the illusive orchard. I am the guardian of this place and I specialize in bringing out your obsessions and turning them into illusions.

If you manage to overcome your obsession, You get to live and safely pass, but if you fall into your obsession, you will die in it. These oranges are the lives of the people who succumbed to their obsessions.”

Hisses, the loud sounds of shock, rang out from Eren and his team. " What a vicious place,” Sarah said as she moved farther away from the orchard trees.

[Ding! The host had completed the main mission, finding out the mystery behind the orchard forest]

[Host has acquired the key to the origin source, the map to Nina and Sean]

Seeing these rewards, Eren heaved a sigh of relief.

“Hey, show us the exit,” Eren said as he shook the fox, he had no time to waste.

“ Wait! Where did you get that?” the nightmare beast asked in shock as he saw a long bony key that looked like the longest digit in a human hand, the only exception was the mysterio

    Eren looked at Sean and Nina, surprised by their sudden transformation. “What in the world just happened here?” He muttered he was still processing the events. He couldn't wrap his head around what just happened.Sean grinned, she experienced a kind of strength she couldn't explain. “Looks like we got some unexpected upgrades, Eren. Thanks to you and that mystery pill.” Nina got a new 10 thousand poisonous body that can control poisonous animals.Eren turned to the fox, Lei. “You never told me anything about these transformations!”“Well, surprises make life interesting, don't they? I intentionally kept it to myself. Congratulations! Your family just got boosted.” Lei smirked. Nina, now with her 10 thousand poison body, controlled the eye warts that were approaching them effortlessly. I guess I'm their queen now,” she chuckled. Eren nodded in agreement.“I want to know the tale behind the origin key, and the reason it's so important to the man with the dark hand,” Eren asked Lei.“T

    “So, you found the key. How convenient.” The dark hand said as he stood face-to-face with Eren The dark hand stared at Eren with greed and caution.“Yeah, stumbled upon it while weeding at my grandma's farm,” Eren replied, faking control.“Hand it over!” The dark man commanded as he gleamed with avarice.Eren smirked as he clutched the key tightly. “Not so fast. What's in it for me?” He asked.“Power, knowledge, everything any you desire.” The dark man said as he curled into a twisted smile.Eren thought of buying time with their conversation. “And if I refuse?” He asked nervously.“You have no choice. I have control over you.” The dark man said with a darkened expression.“Do you know? Funny, because I'm still standing here, free as a bird.” Eren chuckled inwardly.“Enough games! Open the gate!” The dark hand commanded as his patience waned.“Sure, why not? But first, with a little wager.” Eren shrugged.“Explain.” The dark man said, raising an eyebrow.“How about we make a deal? I

    “It's a full moon, kid, let's go,” the dark hand said as he pushed Eren to the now dimly lit road.“Ehn, master, you have a way of surviving here, right?” Eren asked timidly.“Hahahaha, what do you know? I am the tenth seat of the phantom hidden sect, My forte is formations. Don't be afraid and follow me, witness the power of an elder of dark arts with your eyes, Ignorant human”.“ Thanks so much, master. I will surely cherish this act of kindness and bury it deep in the crevice of my heart” Eren faltered the dark hand.“Just kidding, let's get this over with, you senile old man, I still have to get back at you for Sean and Nina” Eren muttered in a low voice, but his face was still plastered with his fawning smile.SHOOSH SHOOSH SHOOSH SHOOSH Sharp silver-mouthed arrows rained down on Eren and the dark hand. “Shit, already?

    “Wow, Eren, you did it! I never doubted you for a second,” the dark hand exclaimed, his voice was filled with pride as he hugged Eren tightly. “Let me see the map”. He commanded.Eren hesitated for a moment, he was afraid that the dark hand would know he had concocted a plan to switch the map. “Of course, master, here you go,” he said as he handed over the map with a smile.“This is it! We're finally going to find the treasure,” the dark hand exclaimed, his eyes scanning over the details of the map as he eagerly unfolded the map.As the dark hand was studying the map, Eren carefully slipped a fake key from his pocket, to keep it hidden from view. This was his insurance policy, that guaranteed he wouldn't be left behind.Eren had earlier, carefully and perfectly planned his move to disrupt the dark hand's plan. He knew through their conversations that the dark-hand man had no good intentions toward anyone. He wanted to use Eren to get the treasure and finish him off. He played along wi

    He stumbled upon a group of nomads riding giant sand worms, their eyes were glinting with curiosity as they watched him approach them.Eren was shocked and willing to know what kind of creature they were, they were unlike anything he had ever seen, their clothes and jewelry shimmering in the desert sun as they whispered to themselves in a language Eren could not understand. They were right there, blocking his way to get through to the place where he hid the treasure.“What kind of creatures are these, I didn't come across them when I came the first time, why now? Or is this part of the dark hand's plan.” He muttered to himself. “Fred, make me understand this nomad's language,” Eren said to Fred as he quickly signed in to the System.He started hearing them immediately. “Who is this and what does he want?” One whispered to the other.“Let's see if he's here to hurt us, then we'll fight.” The other one replied. As Eren cautiously approached the nomads, he noticed through their conve

    Eren gasped as he plunged into the darkness below, the wind rushed past him as he fell. His mind flew, trying to make sense of what was happening right there. Then, suddenly, he felt a familiar sensation wash over him, it was that comforting warmth that enveloped his body and eased his fall.“Fred!” Eren called out, relief flooding through him as he realized that the system had come to his rescue once again. Eren found himself being lifted back up towards the surface, with a gentle whoosh.As he appeared from the darkness, Eren found himself standing once again on solid ground, although he was a bit shaken from the fall. He took some time to collect himself, and he was grateful for the system's Intervention. Meanwhile, deep within the shadows of the desert, the dark hand lay stretched out on the ground, his body battered and covered with bruises from the fall. He groaned in pain as he struggled to regain his strength, the memories of his encounter with Eren were still fresh in his mi

    “Grandpa, had Eren contacted you yet?” Yuri asked the calm man by the bonfire.“The worthy one will survive whichever trials, Yuri. Eren will not die, if he died it will only show he was not worthy of my trust, but I believe he will triumph over it, don't worry too much over it”.“But grandpa…"“No buts, you can't do anything but wait, his phone isn't reachable. I am going to hang out with my friends at his resort, I won't be back for at least a week. Ignore your useless Father and your stepmother”.…“So this is the treasure, it isn't even exceptional in the slightest”Eren complained bitterly.He couldn't believe he spent three days, weathering through dangerous situations, almost losing his life twice, all for the sake of an empty room.An EMPTY room, " seriously, you have got to be kidding”“ Fred, tell me you have got good news for me, maybe there's another silly door and this is the final barrier “Eren asked, still nearing some hope.“ No, master Eren, this is the final layer to

Cold sweat dripped from her chin to her collarbones as she touched the cut on her neck. A little more and her head would have been severed.“Please forgive me Fujiwara san, I over stepped my boundaries” the head maid said with trepidation as she knelt on the polished floor.For a moment she had forgotten the terror of Fujiwara Takashi, the smiling demon. The only child of the Fujiwara's who has more enemies than an average general. At age five, he ordered the extermination of an entire clan

    One guard stepped forward. “We caught him breaking into the apartment,” he explained, his words coming out in a rush. “There was a struggle, and then… he was shot.”Eren was worried. He knew that John's death would only complicate their already precarious situation. His death will make it difficult for them to know his exact mission in the building.Malcolm and Audrey received news of the failed mission through one of their allies, who had been present at the scene. At first, they were angry because his mission failed but, at the same time, happy that John had not been caught alive. “How could this have happened? He should have avoided the guards, I thought he was a professional but he ended up failing. This is bull shit!” Malcolm exclaimed, clenching his fists with frustration, while he paced the room with thoughts of retaliation.Audrey's eyes flashed as she considered their options. “We'll need to come up with a new plan,” she said.Their ally, a trusted confidant who had been pre

    “Sean, Nina, I've decided,” Eren said as soon as they were all seated in his office. “We're going to charge Malcolm and Audrey with theft of property,” Malcolm said in a meeting with Sean and Nina on how to go about their stolen company.Sean nodded, her eyes reflected on the pain of losing her husband. “I agree, Eren. It's time they face the consequences of their actions. Eren. We can't let them get away with what they've done.” Sean Eren handed them each a copy of the court letter he had prepared. “My lawyers will serve them with this tomorrow,” he said. “It's time to take back what's ours.”Back in Malcolm and Audrey's sitting room, Sarah, their lawyer, seated across from them.“I've reviewed the court letter,” Sarah said with a grave tone. “This will not be easy, but we can fight this.”Malcolm clenched his fists, “What do we need to do?” he asked.Sarah sighed. “The only way we can win this case is if we have the original documents from the company,” she explained. “Without them

    Eren sat alone in his office, thinking about Malcolm and Audrey's betrayal for the second time. He realized he had to act fast to reclaim what was his, if not for him, but for Sean and Nina. They need the company now more than ever. Taking the business back from Malcolm will be the best revenge they can get for Fred's sudden death.Lost in thought, he noticed when the door creaked open. He looked up to see Grandpa Huo standing in the doorway. The old man's presence brought a sense of calm to the room, his wise eyes seeming to pierce through Eren's troubled mind.“Eren, my boy,” Grandpa Huo said, “I've heard about what happened with Malcolm and Audrey. It's a tough situation you're in.”Eren nodded. “I won't let them get away with this, Grandpa,” he vowed.“That's the spirit, Eren. But remember, that like you do, Sean and Nina also require you to fight alongside them to get what is theirs. You must also consider what's best for the staff in that company because, from the information I

    In one of FAH's office cafeterias, staff members gathered in small groups, their voices low and tense as they discussed the closure of Malcolm's company and the allegations against Malcolm and Audrey.“I heard they got shut down because of some legal trouble,” whispered one employee, her eyes darting around.“Yeah, and I learned Malcolm and Audrey are being accused of stealing the company from Eren and Fred,” another added, her tone filled with disbelief.As the gossip spread like flame, John, who had been keeping a low profile, asked some staff members some strange questions about FAH. He seemed interested in FAH company's operations and its connections, rather than concentrating on his department. He asked questions about the CEO and wanted to have seen off to other staff present there.One loyal staff member, sensing something amiss, informed Eren about John's inquiries. She approached him, her heart pounding with nervousness.“Mr. Eren, I need to talk to you,” she said, her voice

    “I don't understand, Detective. Why am I being questioned? What's going on?” Malcolm demanded, with a voice filled with frustration and confusion.The detective leaned forward, his gaze piercing. “Mr. Malcolm, we have reason to believe that you and Ms. Audrey here are involved in some illegal activities regarding your company”Malcolm's heart skipped as Audrey, who was seated beside him, gasped in surprise. “But that's not true! That company is our livelihood, we would do nothing to jeopardize it,” Audrey protested.The detective raised an eyebrow skeptically. “Well, that's not what the evidence suggests. We have received a complaint from Mrs. Sean, stating the you and Ms. Audrey have stolen the company from her husband, Fred, and his friend Eren. She claims that the original documents are not in your possession.”Malcolm was shocked to receive the news. He began to woset how Sean got the balls to challenge him. He tried to make sense of the situation. Sean and Nina, behind this? It c

    Audrey took a deep breath. Her fingers were trembling as she dialed John's number. The phone rang once, twice, before John picked up.“John, it's Audrey,” she said, her voice was urgent. “We have a problem. Our investors are pulling out one after the other. Malcolm is worried sick. Have you noticed any of them at FAH?”John's voice came through the line in a calm and collected way. “I have seen none of them, but I can look into it. Do you have any information on which investors to investigate?”Audrey relayed the names of the investors who had pulled out, hoping that John could discover any connections they might have to FAH.“Got it,” John replied. “I'll start digging right away and let you know if I find anything.”Audrey hung up the phone, her mind raced with worry. If their investors were pulling out because of FAH, Malcolm's company could be on the verge of bankruptcy.She rushed to Malcolm's office, finding him pacing back and forth, his face lined with stress.“Malcolm, we need

How can I assist you today?”“Good morning,” John replied, flashing his most charming smile. “I'm here for an interview for the mining technician position. My name is John Smith.”The receptionist checked her computer and nodded. “Ah, yes, Mr. Smith.

What makes this village so special?” Eren leaned in, his interest piqued.Yuri shared her findings, describing how the people of Bagons were isolated but had advanced technology beyond anything they'd ever seen.

    In that fancy conference room in Malcolm's company, the room was filled with tension. Malcolm and his wife Audrey sat at the head of a long table. Various investors, their faces stamped with worry, filled the remaining seats. The place was heavy with anticipation as the meeting started.Mr. Rodriguez, a strict-looking man with a file in hand, spoke up first. “Malcolm, Audrey, we've been hearing disturbing rumors about your business operations. It's been said that you haven't been entirely honest with us.”Malcolm's eyebrow furrowed as he exchanged a worried glance with Audrey. “I assure you, we've always operated with integrity,” he replied, his voice tinged with concern.Mrs. Thompson, a middle-aged woman with a steely gaze, chimed in. “But I heard about the recent news of FAH. It's been making waves in the market, and it seems like our company has been crumbling because of it, and you've been keeping it a secret from us.”Audrey, her hands clasped together, spoke up in defense. “We
