After Logan wore his suit, he took the key to the door and unlocked it. Stepping inside, he found himself amidst an assembly of men in the same tuxedo suit as him. They were all gathered before a man seating behind a desk. This man would called out a number and when someone with that number steps out, he hands him an envelope. Logan couldn't understand what was happening. The man behind the desk was a fat seemingly wealthy man hitting the wrong side of forty. He extravagant clothes and accessories on his body.From time to time, he would stamp on the envelope before handing them over to the number he called. Logan noticed these men don't open their envelopes. They simply collected it and moved to the other room. "System, what is this?" Logan asked in a whisper?[Welcome to the door of Fate][These envelopes determines the fate of every man gathered here. Some would receive good fortune while others won't.][Objective: To accept or Reject one's fate]Logan frowned. "To accept o
The Big boss sat in his large airy office. At fifty, the Big Boss still had his impressive looks. He was built like a boxer with a muscular physique that was beyond his age. His mere presence commanded fear and respect at whomever looked at him. He wore his white hair combed back, and his full White beard flowing down his chin. He leaned back in his leather chair, his eyes fixed on Marcus. Marcus swallowed. Whenever he stood before the big boss, he was always nervous. The room was silent for a long time before the Big boss broke it. "Marcus," the Big Boss called, his voice deep. "You have my undivided attention. Now, enlighten me about this someone who wants to overthrow me?"Marcus passed his tongue over his dry lips. "Big Boss, this man's man is Logan. He's actually new in the city, but he's not someone to be taken lightly with. He publicly announced that he's going to overthrow you and take over this city."The Big Boss cocked his head, resting his chin on his hand. "Such
Logan walked aimlessly around the Maze.He was confused about where he should go. This maze was huge. "Where the hell is this key?" Logan asked himself. This wasn't how he wanted things to turn out. It was almost impossible to find a pin in a maze this loud. Moreover, he only had one whole hour to find the key to the next door. Logan thought about how cruel this system has been so far, making him do dangerous stuffs to level up. Just as Logan turned round a bend, he saw a stone table placed on the ground. Logan picked up the tablet and went through it. "What's this?" He asked himself.There were strange symbols etched on the surface of the tablet. These symbols reminded him of the memories of his past. A Cresent moon, a heart shaped symbol, a cross symbol and two crossed swords. These were the only symbols inscribed on the tablet. Logan pointed at the Cresent moon symbol as he tried to decipher it. "Does this symbol represents the curvature of my spine? It looks like it's
Logan sat down next to Mi-young as the car drove towards Mi-young's hotel. "Talk to me, what happened?" Mi-young asked Logan. Logan didn't respond. He kept his head bowed while his mind raced with thoughts. Finally, he spoke. "It's been a long night, Mi-young. I'd just like to take a nap."Mi-young wasn't having any of that. "Sure but at least give me something to work with. Where the hell have you been these past four days?"Logan rubbed his temple. "I've been away. That's all I can tell you, Mi-young."Mi-young studied him. She saw the seriousness in his eyes and decided not to press the issue any further. "The Big Boss wants to see you," she revealed. "Marcus told him everything about you. I've been instructed to bring you along with me on my dinner date with the Big Boss."Logan looked at her. "That's sooner than I expected."Mi-young shrugged. "I'm meeting with him tonight, two hours from now to be precise."Logan couldn't believe it. He was going to meet the Big Boss in two
Logan didn't know what kind of challenge he expected from the Big Boss. Mi-young stood up sharply. "Big Boss, that's unacceptable. Why should Logan die for challenging you?""Because it takes more than just guts to challenge me, Mi-young," The Big Boss snapped. "If he isn't worth the onion then I'll kill him, for wasting my goddamn time."Mi-young glanced helplessly at Logan. "Logan, there's still time. You can bail out now. You don't have to go ahead with this."Logan stared at her. "Of course I have to. I can't give up now. I must see this through.""But you honestly can't win against him," Mi-young slammed her hands on the table. "Didn't you hear what he said? He said he'll kill you if you lose to him."Logan smirked. "You must know one thing, Mi-young. I can't lose. Don't worry about me, okay?"Mi-young sagged her shoulders. She didn't know what else to say to Logan. The Big Boss placed both hands on the table. "Mi-young, you'll be a distraction to us. Why don't you leave us al
[Main Quests: Conquer the Golden city. Progress 80%][Emergency Quest: Defeat The Big Boss][Failure to defeat the Big Boss would result in a penalty]Logan balled his hands to fists. "What's my penalty?"The system responded: [Penalty: Death]Logan shut his eyes then took a deep breath. "Seems to me like the system wants to push me to my limits."The Big Boss laughed. "That's understandable. If you defeat me, then you'll gain everything I've ever own. But if I defeat you, I'll kill you."Logan decided he wasn't going to die— especially not like this. "So all I have to do is beat you at chess and that's all?" Logan asked, making a move on the chess board. "There are three challenges you must pass to defeat me," the Big Boss said. "This is just one of the challenges."Logan was very good at playing chess. He started playing when he was six years old and hasn't stopped until the day he married Emily. After his marriage to Emily, a lot of things which he found pleasure in doing went o
[You received a cash reward for completing the challenges from The door of limitless wealth]Logan studied his stats carefully. He was $10 Billion richer. This was amazing. Never did he imagined he would reach this milestone. "I have a fight with the Big Boss," Logan said quietly. "I don't see how it's possible for me to win cause I have no experience with fights. Is there some ways you could help?"[You can buy skills but they're very expensive]Logan nodded. "Show me my options."[SKILLS ARSENAL: Unlocking Martial Arts Styles][Martial Arts Styles: $1 Billion]Logan eyes widened. "A billion dollars? Isn't that a bit too much?"[The Martial Arts Styles comes with ten advanced martial arts: Boxing, taekwondo, karate, Kung Fu, Judo, Ninjutsu, MMA, kickboxing, Kenjutsu and Tai Chi][Each martial arts costs $100 million each. There are over 180 martial arts in the world. Would you like to purchase all?]Logan shook his head sharply. "No, no, no. Ten should be enough. If I buy all the m
An hour later, after their fight, Logan barged into the Big Boss private room where he was recieving medical attention. The Big Boss personal doctor was outraged. "You can't come in here, sir. He's not fit to see anyone."But Logan ignored him. The Big Boss glanced at Logan as Logan stood over him. "I've defeated you twice now," he said. "What's the third challenge?"The Big Boss could see the determination in Logan's eyes. There was a fire in there that made him look dangerous. "There is no third challenge," the Big Boss said. Logan's eyes softened. "What do you mean there's no third challenge? You told me there were three —""That's what I said but the truth is I only have two challenges for you to pass inorder to beat me," the Big Boss said. "You have defeated me. You're now the new Big Boss."Logan's eyes widened. He couldn't believe it. "Just like that?" He asked. The Big Boss chuckled. "Don't rejoice yet, boy. Your third Challenge is your fight with the system. Now that y
