Chapter: The Confrontation 2I didn't remember deciding to go home.One moment I was riding aimlessly through the dark streets, the DNA report crumpled in my jacket pocket, my mind was a wasteland of fractured identities. The next moment, I was standing in front of the Tang mansion gates, my bicycle discarded on the sidewalk, my hands shaking so violently I couldn't work the keypad.The gates opened anyway. Someone had been watching for me.She stood in the doorway, backlit by the mansion's warm interior lights. She looked smaller than usual. Her perfect composure finally cracked around the edges."Come inside, Rui.""Don't call me that." my voice was hoarse from screaming. "That's not my name. That's the name you gave your trophy. Your weapon. Your stolen child.""Come inside," she repeated, her voice harder. "We're not having this conversation where the staff can hear."I walked past her into the house, my legs moved on their own disconnected from conscious thought. Everything felt distant. Unreal. Like I was w

Chapter: The Confirmation Friday arrived and I hadn't slept properly in five days. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw those words. Every time I looked in the mirror, I searched for traces of Li Feng in my features. Every time her hand touched me, my skin crawled with the knowledge of what she'd done. "You're not eating," Tang Mei observed, her eyes sharp with concern. "Rui, you've barely touched your food all week. Are you feeling ill?" "Just nervous about exams," I lied smoothly because I had become an excellent liar. Tang Mei had trained me well. "You always ace your exams so there's nothing to be nervous about." She reached across the table, touching my hand. "But if you're truly stressed, perhaps we should see Dr. Wang and have him run some tests to make sure everything is alright." Bingo. "Actually," I said carefully, "I have been feeling strange all week" Tang Mei's concern deepened immediately. "Strange how?" "Hard to describe. Just... off. Like my body doesn't quite work right." I looke

Chapter: The Investigation I lasted only three days before I broke. I spent the last three days sitting across from Tang Mei at breakfast, watching her smile at me while my mind screamed questions I couldn't ask. Three days of pretending nothing had changed while my entire understanding of existence crumbled. I spent the last three days clutching the flash drive like a talisman, reviewing the files until I'd memorized every damn word, every date, every damning coincidence. On the fourth day, I stopped pretending I could handle this alone. I would have gone with the evidence in the flash but I wasn't going to fall for her tricks twice. I decided to get hard copy evidence one tuesday evening. Tang Mei had a board meeting that would run late—she'd mentioned it that morning, kissed my forehead, told me not to wait up. The house was empty except for staff who knew better than to disturb the young master when his door was closed. I picked the lock on her cabinet until it clicked open. Tang Mei journal stared at

Chapter: The First Fracture I waited until no one was looking to open the flash drive. The house was silent with Tang Mei asleep in her wing, the staff had long retired, if I dropped a pin, it would echo through the house. I sat there with the laptop in front of me, and the small piece of metal and plastic that Tang Jun had pressed into my palm like a grenade with the pin already pulled.My hands were shaking as I plugged it in.There were a couple of folders but only the one labelled 'Medical' caught my attention.My cursor hovered over that folder. Something about it made my skin crawl, though I couldn't say why. Medical records seemed harmless enough right ? Boy was I wrong. Because as soon as I clicked, my identity came crashing down.The first few files were exactly what I'd expected. Intake physical examination, dental records, standard blood work, vision test. I was disappointed and almost slammed the laptop shut, when my eyes caught the words "FERTILITY SCREENING - MANDATORY PER FACILITY PROTOCOL"I stare

Chapter: The Weight of Years I woke up one morning and found out I was ten years old and was beginning to forget why I came back. It happened during a family dinner at the Tang mansion, you know, it was one of the meetings people attended and pretended to be happy with each other. Lin Yue sat across the table with Chen Hao, both of them looked exhausted, I wondered why. Yifan, now eight, sat between them, quieter than she'd been in kindergarten. The years had taught her to read the room and sense tension, and most importantly not to talk when elders were talking. Tang Jun occupied his usual seat at the end, nursing the bottle of whiskey instead of eating. He'd aged badly, all his hair were now grey and his hands trembled slightly. The worst were his eyes that kept swinging like a pendulum. At the head of the table,Tang Mei sat like an overfed rooster with me of course by her right. "Rui received the highest marks in his grade this semester," she announced, as she served me an extra portion of my favorite di

Chapter: The Kindergarten YearsThe month I turned five, was the same month I was enrolled in the city's most exclusive kindergarten.The school was called Golden Phoenix Academy, a name that made me want to laugh bitterly every time he heard it. Fate is such a cruel bitch."You'll excel here," Tang Mei said on my first day, adjusting my navy blazer with that maternal care. "The best families send their children to here, you are on the path to greatness."I nodded looking all serious and composed. I didn't act like my age mates, I rarely smiled and play like other children. Even my teachers were concerned about my behaviour but Tang Mei saw it as a thing of joy. I am just five yet, I'm already thinking like her but the realization didn't bother me as much as it should have."Class, we have a new student," the teacher announced brightly. "This is Tang Rui. Let's all say hello!""Hello, Tang Rui!" the children chorused. "Wonderful! Now, who wants to show Tang Rui around during playtime?"Several hands shot up but th

Level Up Or Die Trying:100 levels of Hell
Alex Noir, a burned-out game developer, receives a mysterious VR headset from an anonymous package. When he puts it on, he's pulled into "The Endless Trial"—a brutal survival game where death is permanent and the only way out is to beat all 100 levels.
Each level is a different deadly scenario (zombie apocalypse, fantasy dungeon, sci-fi space station, historical battlefield, etc.)
Marcus gains real skills and attributes that carry over between levels
He can collect "Respawn Tokens" by completing bonus objectives—his only way to cheat death
The system gives him quests, stat screens, and skill trees, but it's ruthlessly unfair: make a stupid decision, and face stupid consequences
Whatever happens in the game affects the real world. If he dies in a level, he dies in reality. But that's not his only problem, the game starts "bleeding" into reality. Monsters from incomplete levels begin manifesting in his city. The longer he's trapped, the more the game corrupts the real world. His friends and family get pulled in as trapped players.
Alex must not only survive and level up, but figure out who created this game and why because there are other players trapped in their own trials, and something is systematically hunting them all.

Chapter: The Cost of Survival The soldier shouted something in Vietnamese and raised his rifle. I fired first. Three-round burst, the way I'd seen in movies. The recoil surprised me—sharper than the revolver, driving the rifle butt into my shoulder. The soldier went down, red blooming across his chest. The other two scattered, returning fire, as bullets shredded leaves around my position.I rolled behind a tree, heart hammering. Did I just kill someone? NPC or not, I'd pulled the trigger and watched a person fall. My hands shook so badly i nearly dropped the rifle.I forced myself to move, scrambling deeper into the jungle on hands and knees. Behind me, the two remaining soldiers were coordinating and flanking me. Just like the Howlers, they were learning, adapting, and hunting. I turned to see a grenade landed three feet away. My brain registered it before my body could react. I had maybe two seconds so I grabbed it, my hands moving on instinct and threw it back to the direction it came from. The explosion was

Chapter: Reality Bleeds Intensifies I wasn’t transitioning, I was literally falling. My eardrum nearly exploded as air rushed in, ripped past my skin, and tore at my shirt. My stomach felt as though it dragged itself into my throat. “Sh!”I reached out for something to hold onto, but there was nothing. No ground. No platform. Just air and panic and the sound of my heart trying to break out of my ribs.Then, I hit the ground hard. Seconds later, pain exploded up my spine, air left my lungs in a violent rush. The world went white, then dark, then focused.Is that My ceiling? “...What the hell…?” I pushed myself onto my elbows, dragging in air that made my chest burn. My hands shook as my whole body ached like I’d been dragged through fire.The same leg that had been shot in level two throbbed badly. The wound was gone… but my nerves remembered the fact that the game didn’t carry over injuries but my body did.I sat up slowly, scanning the room. Everything was exactly as I left it, the only thing different was the

Chapter: Wide West ShootoutMy pod crashed into something the next minute that sent me flying. Luckily for me, I landed on sand.“Ah...” I cough, choking on grit, before rolling onto my side. Dry air cuts into my throat so sharp it hurts. My whole body was covered in hot, red sand that felt more like powder than sand.“What the hell…?”I push up onto my knees and blink hard. Sunlight stabs straight into my eyes, savage, and unforgiving. The heat is brutal as my body begins to release gallons of sweat.I looked ahead to see various sizes of wooden buildings. There was a dirt road that led to something I couldn't see from here. I started walking, then I passed a water trough, hitching posts and a saloon with swinging doors.I can't believe this. A whole damn Wild West town was staring back at me. It didn't take long for that stupid screen to appear.LEVEL 6: WILD WEST SHOOTOUTObjective: Survive until the noon train.Time until train arrival: 00:45:00Respawn Tokens: 4“Forty-five minutes…” I mutter, scrambling to

It kept rising until it soaked my clothes, the only thing that wasn't submerged under water was my head. Blue-green emergency lights flickered through the murky water while I heard scratching of metal somewhere in the distance.Every step I took sent ripples crawling across the hallway as icy liquid sloshed higher. The walls gave an uncomfortable groan as glass shattered. "You are not alone,"I reminded myself as Lisa's voice echoed inside my skull and Dave’s courage burned in my chest.I forced myself forward, searching for stairs, ladders, any sign of something going up. The water reached my neck, and panic clawed at my throat, but I swallowed it down and kicked forward.I would not disappoint them again.The lights flickered harder now as

Chapter: Help from an Unexpected Source Before my very eyes, the escape pod dissolved and I braced for impact. Turns out, the only time when I am prepared to fall under gravity,I don't. Instead, I disappear and appear on a carpet.“Is this my apartment?” I looked down at my bare feet. “No dirt. No metal. No blood…”I turned slowly, then I rubbed my eyes to be sure I wasn't dreaming. Or was I dead? My pulse was slamming against my temples as I looked around. I saw everything as I had left it. My couch, the half-unpacked boxes, the takeout containers stacked like tiny towers on the counter.For a split second I actually smiled.“I made it… I freaking made it...”I did my happy dance when a blue screen burst into existence in the center of my living room.LEVEL 4 COMPLETESAFE ZONE: 24 HOURSUSE THIS TIME TO REST AND RECOVERLEVEL 5 BEGINS IN: 23:59:52“A safe zone?” I snorted. “Since when does this game care about my comfort?”I stepped toward the window and my legs gave out halfway.“Whoa...” I grabbed the back of my desk ch

Chapter: Deep Space Station In the blink of an eye, the castle vanished. Then I was thrown into the void and I could feel my insides trying to escape through my mouth.I tried reaching out for something—anything—but my hands just went through the emptiness and my heart rate tripled.I can’t breathe. Damn it...why can’t I breathe?A bright light shone and thin red emergency strips blinked alive along cold metal walls, outlining a narrow corridor suspended in the void. I sucked in a desperate breath as oxygen rushed back into my lungs.LEVEL 3: DEEP SPACE STATIONObjective: Reach the escape pods before station destructionTime until destruction: 02:30:00Current Respawn Tokens: 2Warning: Zero gravity environment“Of course,” I muttered, my voice echoing off the metal tunnel. “Why would anything be easy?”When I tried to move, my body twisted out of control and I was thrown down the corridor like a loose screw. I slammed into one wall, bounced into the other, then started spinning end over end.“Damn it...!”I th
