"Oh, damn!" David was panting heavily on the floor, fighting for his breath. He wondered why the system gave him this kind of cruel task.His eyes were so blurry at this time. He was in so much doubt if he could continue the deadly task.He was still on the floor for five minutes straight, battling to catch his breath. He placed his right hand on his chest and he could feel how his heart was racing so fast. It was crazy, this would be his first time trying such a thing.Deadlifting a 300kg weight isn't child's play. It will take a long time of gradual practice before one would be able to lift such weight. Now, the system had placed him on the challenge and it must be carried out.He bit his lower lip into his mouth and he was breathing heavily through his nose. That wasn't enough so he had to open his mouth widely, fighting for oxygen.Soon, he felt a bit relieved and stood from the floor. He walked out of the workout room to get chilled water. He drank some and gained some strength b
David had his palms placed on the floor, with his hands wider than his shoulders. His fingers were pointing straight ahead with his face looking down while he made sure his head and neck were in a straight line with his back.Then he extended his leg backward to form a straight line with his back. He moved his feet close to each other, balancing himself on the balls of his feet.Now he's ready to go, but it seems he hasn't got the balancing right as he fell back on the exercise mat, letting out a huge breath from his mouth."What a challenge," he muttered in a low tone. He wishes he could beg the system to let him skip all these remaining tasks and just let him enjoy his video game.He believed that even if he needed some exercise, it shouldn't be as tough as this.He has 100 push-ups to do, and he hasn't even successfully done one of them.At this instant, he decided to take a better rest before trying again. He sat up, took a gulp from his water bottle, and wiped his sweat.He hasn'
David was on the road, driving to a recreation center to carry out the remaining tasks. He still had so much doubt in his mind if he would be able to complete the tough tasks.He just had to keep on moving, even if he still had fear in his heart.The penalty behind the mission if he refused to complete it was what kept banging in his head.He was gradually getting worried about what was running through his mind that he nearly forgot he was on the road, driving.He was brought back to his senses when he wanted to step on the brake pad but stepped on the acceleration pad instead."Oh my goodness, what's wrong with me?" He questioned himself as he quickly stepped on the brake pad.He nearly hit a car in front of him due to his mistake. If he hadn't been blessed with good driving skills, he might have lost it at that spot.After a few minutes of driving, he caught sight of a group of ladies in a shouting competition. There were ten of them. Nine of the ladies circled around a quiet-lookin
"I appreciate your offer, sir. I just want to..." Sandra was trying to reject the offer because she wasn't feeling too well in her mind with what had just happened. Before she finished her words, David cut in."I know exactly how you are feeling. I saw everything that happened between you and the other ladies." Sandra's eyes widened as she heard him say that. She never knew that he saw what had happened.Suddenly, she had a worried-looking face. The displeasure was more evident in her eyes now. Each of her eyelids was filled with bitterness. She had a quick picture of the scenario again, till the tears at the corner of her eyes nearly found their way out."You don't have to be so worried, hop in the car!" David was feeding her with hope. He was still surprised at how modest she was.He knew women love luxuries, but it seems Sandra has a high-class personality. Despite having a slight view of how wealthy David was, she wasn't moved by the wealth.She was the one who attended to him whe
She intended to reject the offer because many men in the past had come her way, offering help in exchange for her body. This made her skeptical about David's intentions as well.She had a new perspective on David when she remembered the day he came to buy the house. He was dressed so poorly that no one would have thought he could spend $30 million on an apartment.She even thought that someone else sent him to search for the house and purchase it in their name. But she was proven wrong when the name on the receipt matched the one on the payment.She first had doubts when she saw him in an expensive car, but there's always a difference in your attitude when you truly own a car versus pretending to.What she concluded about him was that he was just one of those young rich men who prefer to live a low-key lifestyle."I haven't concluded anything yet," she struggled to say.David understood what was running through her mind. He knew she would have ideas and worries, especially about the f
When he walked out of the door, his eyes went straight to the tower. A participant was about to jump down."3...2...1" The instructor counted as the participant jumped into the air with a backflip."What!" David's eyes were blinking with so much shock."That's crazy." He added as he watched the participant dip into the river below the tower. In a second, the elastic rubber snapped back as he did another bounce.David was startled by how the participant was flexing around with the scary sport."Well, it's fun for you. It's a task for me." He mumbled as he couldn't move his eyes away from the tower.When the first participant was done, another person went to the jump deck. She had the harness tied to her leg, unlike the previous person who had it around his waist.David could read the nervousness in the lady's eyes. It seemed like it was her first time too. He couldn't wait to see how she would handle the fear.She gazed at the river beneath the tower and held her head tightly. The fear
David was now at the tower, precisely at the jump deck. He had the harness fixed around his feet and all the necessary safety procedures had been taken.He was gazing at the very deep river beneath the tower, which made his eyes tremble.The height was crazier than he had expected. The height wasn't as long as that when he was watching the other jumpers a few minutes ago. And if it's this high, how were they able to do the jump like it was nothing?Now, he was at the jump deck, having a real view of the height. Suddenly, he felt his heart racing faster than before, and the view before him had grabbed his attention tightly.'Am I scared of doing this?' He questioned in his mind, as his facial expression was unexplainable.'I thought I said I was bold and courageous a few minutes ago?' He gritted his teeth in dissatisfaction and forced a lump down his throat."Are you okay?" The instructor asked, noticing the sudden change in his face.The instructor was surprised to find his eyes twitc
Within a couple of minutes, he was lectured about the sport. The instructor was actually full of knowledge about it. He looked like someone in his 40s but still vibrant and strong.After the lecture, he headed into an airplane with his instructor. They had all the necessary equipment along, from the harness to the glasses and helmet.Of course, David had all sorts running through his mind but it's the last task. He just has to get it completed before the time runs out.In a few minutes, the airplane began to run on the runway, and before he knew what was happening, it flew up into the sky."How are you feeling?" The instructor inquired."Well, I think I'm a little bit scared." David disclosed."Being scared is part of the sport. Be assured that you're safe since I will stay behind you to guide you.""Yeah, I know. It's just so crazy as I have a lot of crazy pictures in my head right now."The instructor understood all he was saying beyond his explanation as he continued to assure him,
