Chapter: The Collapse The call that changed my life came on a Wednesday afternoon while I was in mathematics class. The teacher had challenged us to solve a maths problem that most of my peers couldn't solve.While I was engrossed in what I was doing, my phone buzzed against my thigh. I kept it on silent during school hours but I couldn't quite bring myself to turn it off completely because some part of me was patiently waiting for disaster. I glanced down at the screen under my desk, and as I saw Yifan's name,my stomach twisted.Mom collapsed. Ambulance coming. Meet me at City General Hospital.My hand shot up before my conscious mind had processed the decision. "I need to leave. Family emergency."The teacher started to protest, but I didn't care. I ran out of the classroom as fast as I could. The taxi ride to the hospital took seventeen minutes that felt like seventeen hours. I sat in the backseat with my fists clenched so tightly my nails drew blood from my palms as I tried to organize my thoughts.

Chapter: Questions Only He would Know The next three days felt like living in two worlds simultaneously—the surface world where Tang Rui attended classes and pretended everything was normal, and the underground world where me and Yifan met in secret to verify the impossible truth of my memories."Tell me about their first date," she said one Tuesday afternoon, settling into the leather chair across from me with her notebook open. She'd become way too serious about this verification process, approaching it like a project.I leaned back, closing my eyes to better access memories that were hazy in my mind."It wasn't really a date at first. We met at a coffee shop near the university, she wasn't really in my class, yet, I couldn't stop myself from thinking about the beautiful woman who kept taking my coffee order because we both ordered the same thing."She chuckled "She sounds so fun, now she rarely smiles and when she does, it's usually forced.I opened my eyes, to find her watching me intently. "After the third time the

Chapter: Moving Forward."What are you doing here?" the male voice asked and I looked up to seen Chen Hao. I quickly hid the DNA reports just in time."What's that? What are you hiding? What are the both of you doing alone together?" he asked without letting me answer any of them."Daddy,let him go,he isn't doing anything." Yifan protested and that's how I was saved. "Thanks," I said as soon as her dad left. "I have tried talking to her, but she'd never believe me. I'm supposed to be twelve years old and her nephew Yifan. How could I possibly convince her that I'm also her dead husband's consciousness in his biological son's body? She'd think I was either insane or cruel or both." I continued calmly as if my life wasn't spiralling out of control."But you could try. You could tell her things only he would know. You know memories that you couldn't have unless you were really him."Funny how I had thought about this countless times over the past twelve years. Every time I'd seen her at family gatherings, every

Chapter: The Secret SharedI had been staring at the DNA report for twenty minutes when I heard a knock. "Rui? It's me. Can I come in?" The knock came again,more insistent this time.Oh shit , I had completely forgotten about her. "Just a second," I called, reaching for the report to hide it but my hand knocked over a water glass instead. The liquid spread across my desk in a clear, damning puddle, and in my scramble to save my textbooks, the DNA report fluttered to the floor. The door opened and Yifan stepped inside. "Sorry, I know you said wait, but I've been worried about you for days and— mid-sentence, her eyes landing on the paper at my feet. "What's that?" "Not...hing... just school stuff." I bent to pick it up, but Yifan was faster, her dancer's reflexes honed by years of ballet classes making her quick despite her ten-year-old frame. She grabbed the report before I could stop her, her eyes scanning the header and I watched her eyes grow wide."This doesn't look like school stuff," she said slowly,

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

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: Dave wakes upMy ringtone was the one that woke me up. "Who the fuck calls someone this early," I grumbled as I put the phone to my ear. "Alex. Alex, you need to see this." Her voice was excited. "It's Dave." I sat up, disoriented. I'd finally managed to sleep—actual deep sleep for the first time in what felt like forever. My body ached from the Howler attack, bandages covering the claw marks on my arms. The apartment was dim, early morning light filtering through the barricaded windows. "What about Dave?" I rubbed his eyes, trying to focus. That was when I saw it was a video call. Lisa had her laptop open and the screen showed what looked like a medical monitoring system. "I've been tracking the coma patients remotely. Dave's vitals just spiked. His heart rate elevated which sent his brain activity through the roof. Alex, I think he's waking up."I was fully awake now. She adjusted the screen as I squinted to look at it, watching the graphs spike and dip in real-time. Dave's brain activity

Chapter: Disturbing NewsFor a minute, I thought I had died and everything was over. I was already walking aimlessly in a black void when I was violently pulled back. I opened my eyes and found myself face to face with my murderer.What the hell was going on? Did I just respawn? I checked the screen to see how many I had left and it was just three. This darn system used four respawn tokens to revive me. I was brought back to reality when Mr Hard face cocked the gun. I need to act fast or I would die and it would be for good this time. "I'm not your enemy," I said. "I'm just trying to survive. Same as you."He didn't budge. How was I sure these things were even human? The helicopter appeared over the treeline.I got down on my feet just in time as the bullet left his gun. I used the pistol on me to hit his knee severally until he went down then I ran the last ten meters as the helicopter touched down, rotors whipping the grass flat. I grabbed the landing skid and pulled himself aboard. The pilot didn't even

Chapter: Extraction I ran through the jungle, branches whipping my face, roots trying to trip me with every step. The blue route wound through terrain so dense I could barely see five feet ahead. No paths, no clearing, just endless green foliage that grabbed at my clothes and scraped my skin. My breath came in ragged gasps. The humidity was suffocating, each inhale feeling like drowning in hot air. The screen above me blinked. Time until extraction: 00:14:22 I'd been running for over twelve minutes and probably covered maybe half a kilometer. The extraction point was still nearly two kilometers away. The math wasn't adding up. Several bullets boomed to my left—the red route, probably. The game was throwing everything at players who chose efficiency over conscience. I crashed through a curtain of vines and nearly fell into a stream. He managed to jump across, and landed just on the far bank. "C'mon Alex, you can't stop now," I encouraged myself as my knees gave out. I got up and kept moving

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
