"Is there anything that we can help you with?" Inquired Sil, his eyes shot out of their sockets with curiosity, still looking deep into the deep stare of this stranger before him."Oh! Nothing. I must have mistaken you for the wrong person. My bad. Sorry for the inconvenience I have caused you!""It's no problem!" Sil and Dale both chorused.Jim, who had been watching them quite closely with his chest tightened and his breaths gathered into his chest, was finally able to breathe freely, gasping for breath at the same time.Lawrence's gaze, dripping with coldness, shot a smirk that said way more than words before eventually walking off with a look of victory laced on his face.Jim broke a race towards his friends who were still standing in the space that had been created by the strange with the weird aura."You saw that right? I can swear that it wasn't a mistake of any sort.""And he was giving off..." "Jaden!" Added Dale. "Jaden pro max.""Or even worse!" Sil added.The lump that wa
Jim followed them from behind like he was some prisoner, the two men guarding him from both like a notorious criminal.His eyes remained pitch clear with curiosity. But he wasn't confused. He already had ideas in his head of where all these could be coming from.But this wasn't the perfect time that he needed to be getting into trouble. Not when he had to find a way to accomplish his task.His mind raced with possibilities. Maybe he could escape while their intense attention was focused on him.However, that could escalate everything. And point out that he was guilty if there was an accusation staying just ahead of him.Jim, being true to his task or his reasoning threatened to tear him apart that he almost yelled at the top of his voice.And then, it came like a hot rod stab right through his heart.{ Less than 10 hours left to complete the task! }A sudden ding rang in his head, making him swizzle in pain. Throughout the period that he had been tasked with the system, he had not fel
The Hyenas gang, a group of school outlaws that had come together to form an association of brainless bad boy However, they had the number at least. And their membership also consisted of a few influential people...They were as striking as the Scorpion gang and Jaden's group together with another prominent group that was littered all over the university, walking freely on the street in the broad daylight.Their hatch was known as the off-layer zone and was avoided by every single person in the hostel...Jim wanted to walk away. His task, his friends, and everything that he held dear to him was calling.But that little inkling down his heart would not let him move, until he shut his head, suddenly turning around to leave. Other things were too important to him.However, after taking a few steps forward, with a sudden growl, he paused, turning around, quite all of a sudden.His heart gripped like he was going to have a seizure. The fear of making the wrong decision remained; he blew d
The words that had been running through Lawrence's throat suddenly ran dry, now evident of the reality that was before him.Lawrence, Helena, and Jim had been surrounded by a dozen gangs of hyenas.Even with his full potential, increase in stats, and the leveling up of his martial arts, there was zero to no assurance that Jim would be able to win this fight."I don't know who you guys are but I think there might be a misunderstanding here. We didn't mean to cause any trouble or disrupt your partyingAnd good thing for both of us, we were just about going!" Lawrence said."Thanks for entertaining us!" His words trailed off.Even with his soothing words, the stern looks that bore right through their heart didn't change. Lawrence's heart flustered as his stare went for his sister before returning to Jim who stood with an intense gaze."See man, me and my sister can barely do anything for you guess. But we can get him. We are not going to say a word about what happened here to anyone!"
Lawrence's heart raced at the sight that caught his attention, and his blood ran cold. He was breathing hard and gasping multiple times.They had barely been able to escape the first set of men that had been thrown at them, which compared to these were just a ton more.His eyes swept off to where Jim stood, trying to gather his breath while staying calm... Somehow.Lawrence's eyes lightened with shocks that coursed through his body."How was he able to stay calm in this sort of situation?" He thought.Drawing Helena closer, his gaze grew intense as the middle-aged man and leader of the hyena's gang club fell upon them."These are the intruders!" The first gang leader bowed respectfully."Free them and let them off!" The words came as a shock to everyone in the place. For all they knew, Mr. Grill was ruthless. Since this gang was formed seven years ago, no trespasser had gone out of the hatch without stories to tell.And without nightmares of the place that made them wake up every nigh
Lawrence's eye's lurked deep into Jim's and he could feel the sudden heat flowing through his guts."Little sis! We should leave already!" He motioned to his sister. The awkward sense that rose through his body wanting him to leave the place as soon as possible."What about the man that helped us! Aren't we going to thank him?"Lawrence stared at Jim again and he just could hold the disdain and the bitter sensation that was rising through his guts at the instant."Thank him?" A forced cough gushed off from the mouth of Lawrence, a bitter sensation suddenly rising through his guts.The imagery of his attempt to even thank Jim was enough to make him punk as he tried hard to resist the urge to throw a punch right into Jim's face."We would have been able to fend off those men with or without his help Lawrence. It would have been just a piece of cake!" Lawrence added, quickly holding off her hands as they walked away.Jim lets out a deep sigh. 'So much for wanting to help!' He thought.Th
A foggy figure stood right before Jim. His face glistened with wonder as he could barely recognize the man that was his father.Yet, the connection that fostered between them was one of a father and a child. Jim could feel his breath somewhat heavy, and his chest heavy with bricks. The confusion was beyond anything that he felt before.Because he never had a dream about his father before. However, his eyes glittered with emotions.His longing for his parents, and the sight of the one that seemed to be him seemed to want to tear his being apart."Father!" The words flustered from his lips once again, this time, soft, and smoothing."Jim! It's been a while. I'm sorry that I couldn't be there for you. And walk you through everything that you need to know.I'm sorry that I had to task you with your Grandfather!" The words rang multiple times in Jim's ears.But he didn't care about some apology, he had finally gotten to see his father. He didn't even care if this was a ghost. Jim just wa
Thanks the pack of Lawrence and Jaden, yesterday was almost as good as fertile, however, at least Jim had been able to accomplish a task, even though he couldn't guess howA shout from the other part of his room suddenly snapped him off from his thoughts. One of his Dorm mates as he would put it shivering under the overlapping shadows of a bigger framed guy that seemed to swallow him up."I tried making as much as I could throughout the day!""But it still wasn't enough was it?" The hushed sound came after the fray looking boy, causing him to shiver in his pants.Jim looked around, his gaze sharp as they came piercing right through every corner of the room.The other two people whose faces he could barely make out just stood there, their faces grim and their arms folded helplessly."Are they just going to let the intruder beat the weaker guy up?"Jim still watched with his face glistering with confusion. He waited, hoping that someone was going to help out but nobody did The fray lo
