Leo and Kyrian stood with to their hands handcuffed to each other before the large portrait of Sarah Jensen previously Sarah Homer in the living room of her expansive oceanside mansion. He was surprised at how homely the building looked as it was all warm colors and bright decor which was in very sharp contrast with his own home which was mostly black and white furniture and filled with technology. The only gadget in sight in the living room was the large TV and he couldn't spot a single security camera around. He loved the way the home felt secure and welcoming and he was sure that even though Helen said nothing about it, she was worried by the lack of privacy in their own home. He felt she had been even happier since they had moved out of the house.He loved the way the home felt secure and welcoming and he was sure that even though Helen said nothing about it, she was worried by the lack of privacy in their own home.

Sarah, Kyrian's daughter sat in her baby's nursery desperately trying to shush her from her screaming. She had already fed her twice but the child just kept on wailing at the top of her lungs. She had fired the baby's nanny a few days ago after she found out that she was having an affair with her husband. She had kicked him out of the house too and he had slept on the front porch for three nights in a row knocking and screaming and begging her to let him in. She promised to call the police each time his noise woke her up. It was probably the wedding contract she had made him sign before they got married that made him so desperate to win her back. He had signed away thirty to forty five percent of his business empire if they were ever to get divorced depending on the length of the marriage, currently she was eligible to take up to thirty nine percent of all he had without even lifting a finger.The affair had began from the night she hired the nanny and she didn't even know until she

Kyrian groaned as he got off the helicopter. At his age he didn't enjoy sitting in the sticky helicopter seats any longer. Old age took away certain luxuries from him he would never get back."Good day sir" the security guard greeted him as he stepped down onto the grass."Good day. Where's my car and escort?" Kyrian asked while responding curtly to the greeting."Right this way sir, just follow me" the guard said and began to lead the way to where the cars were parked. At a comfortable speed they should be able to reach Dartford City before night fall where he had dinner reservation with Leonardo Dubois. "Right this way sir, just follow me" the guard said and began to lead the way to where the cars were parked. At a comfortable speed they should be able to reach Dartford City before night fall where he had dinner reservation with Leonardo Dubois. He was slightly nervous because of how long it had been since he talked face to face with him last. He took a deep steadying breath befor

Gordon wiped his brow, the steam from the pots blurring his vision. The clatter of plates filled the small kitchen of St. Jude's Orphanage, a rhythmic echo of lives lived in shadows. He had just finished scrubbing a particularly stubborn pan when the sharp whistle pierced the air, cutting through the dull mood of the evening routine. Instinctively, he froze, the scrub brush still in his hand, unsure what was happening.“Come on, Gordon! We need to hurry!” shouted his roommate, Ethan, bursting through the door with a wild look in his eyes.“What....What’s going on?” Gordon asked, his heart pounding as he dropped the brush and followed Ethan into the hallway. The other boys were already racing past them down the hallway , they were laughter and shouts a mixture of excitement and anxiety which left Gordon more perplexed .“It’s a billionaire!” Ethan exclaimed, his voice barely above a whisper, yet it crackled with energy. “He’s coming to adopt a kid from the orphanage. They say he’s go

Hazel stepped of the first ladder of the airplane, the cool French air brushing against her skin. She inhaled deeply and smelled the fresh unpolluted air, a rare smell in Dartford. She lived the countryside but she had a mission to fulfill there . She walked back into the plane to meet Jason, the pilot who had flown them across the Atlantic.“Thank you, Jason. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate this,” she said, handing him an electronic card. “The details for the rest of your payment are right here. Just follow the instructions.”Jason took the card, "How do I know that this card will pay me?" Jason asked. "Seriously man, you're doing business with billionaires and you're asking if you will get paid a couple millions?" Hazel asked with a slight chuckle and Jason nodded nervously.“No problem,Just keep him safe. That’s all that matters now.” he replied before she left the cockpit.James stood beside her, clutching a small backpack to his chest. At five years old, he looked so sma

Gordon Fisher crouched behind a stack of shipping crates as he scanned the harbor. The moon hung high illuminating the transatlantic ship moored at the end of the dock. The weight of desperation pressed heavily on his chest. Just hours ago, he had been a man with a plan; now, he was a fugitive, the walls closing in with every passing moment.Leonardo Dubois had shattered his world with a single announcement. He had told the truth about Gordon’s infiltration into his private mansion to the public. The man who had killed his father now stood untouchable, declaring to the world that Gordon had broken into his multimillion-dollar mansion, seeking vengeance for a crime that had haunted him for years. The plan had been foolproof—or so he thought.He had designed the security system for Dubois's home, crafting a web of protection that he believed would be impenetrable. But when he finally made it into the house, his plans spiraled out of control. Instead of finding Dubois's wife, Helen, in h

Hey guys! Chukwuemeka 101 here. I want to use this opportunity to thank you for following my book on this amazing journey spanning almost the length of one full year and I'm here to announce the end of the first sequence of this book. That's right! Rags To Riches: The Riveting Tale Of Jason Smith

"What happened to him doctor? Is he going to be alright?" Allison asked in a worried tone. "What did the tests reveal?" Jason seconded her question with an enquiry of his own. "It's not good news. He collapsed because of the toxin we found in his bloodstream, from the signs he's been showing my be

Jason stared in shock as the strange men in front of him told him that grandfather had collapsed suddenly and was sent to the hospital. He began breathing heavily as his thoughts raced around in his head. 'Was it natural or did someone try to harm him? This can't be happening, not now with all the

Tory sat in the pool of his countryside villa with a host of naked girls littered around him, some taking a dip while others just traipsed around with their genitals on full display. He held a glass of wine in his hands as a girl surfaced from under the water right in front of him gasping for air.

“Damn it, Ben!” Ava’s voice cut through their earpieces, a mix of frustration and urgency. “We’ve got company. The security system has been triggered!” They both paused for a long second as panic surged through the team, but Jason’s leadership and their training took over. They moved quickly, navig

The grand estate of the Scoric Clan sprawled across acres of green grounds, a testament to both the wealth and the arrogance of its owner, Tory. But that night it was the setting of a high stakes heist organized by Jason. Jason despised the fact that they were commiting armed robbery but be needed

There was a crack there.The crystal ball was made of a material that was almost indestructible. It was done so that it would be able to withstand different amounts of magic without breaking.But Alex had casually cracked it."This kid..." the supervisor muttered as Alex left, "we might have a beast in our hands."Alex could feel all the eyes on him as he walked back to where the other candidates were standing. "Is he the one who was given an S rank?""I can't believe it. He doesn't look like an S rank.""I guess we shouldn't judge a book by its cover."But amidst all the stares, the one he derived the most pride in was Damon's. Damon's gaze was filled with surprise, anger, hate and jealousy. Alex felt like walking up to him and laughing in his face. All throughout their training, Damon had looked down on Alex because he believed that because he was from a noble family, he was superior to Alex who was a commoner. 'Fate has no favorites huh...' Alex thought as he spared Damon a brie

The first phase of the Evaluation began in earnest. There were 15 year olds running, lifting, and climbing around while their supervisors scrawled furiously on their notepads. The scoreboard also rapidly updated the supervisors' scores in real time.At the end of the first phase; the 800 candidates were ranked on the scoreboard.Alex found himself feeling strangely nervous as his eyes scanned the scoreboard for his name.He started from the bottom and yet he still hadn't found it."....400...300...200...100...50...25...15...10... oh, there it is."He had conveniently landed at the 5th position. He turned to look at the multitude of candidates gathered there for their evaluation and thought, 'can I really be the 5th 'strongest' candidate here?'He shook his head and turned back to the scoreboard, 'I guess master Ken was right... his training really set us apart. By the way who are the 4 stronger than I am?'Damon was 2nd.'Ah...'A girl named Alice Wickefeller was first.Twin terrors

Damon's attack on Ken had been so short that it was almost impossible for Alex to observe any possible weaknesses or flaws.And now, Damon was down, groaning at the root of a tree while he took his battle stance with his body augmented with magic, still observing his opponent who had already started to eat his orange."Fuu..." Ken let out a deep breath. "Let's see how this goes."With a burst of speed, Alex rushed towards Ken, with his hand outstretched to grab his bracelet arm. However, in the last second, Alex halted his charge.Halting his charge gave him the chance to see Ken's leg fly up like a rocket to hit him in the face.If he had not stopped his charge, he would've run headfirst into that foot. But even though he stopped his charge, he was still not out of range of Ken's kick, but he could see it coming, and that made all the difference in the world.Without wasting any motion after halting his charge, Alex ducked under Ken's kick and tackled his other leg causing his maste

The boys fought the mannequin for a few weeks.The sheer impossibility of this training level forced them to begin to work together and before they knew it, they had successfully disarmed all 6 arms of the mannequin. Alex seemed contented with himself for achieving such a feat while Damon still sulked, wishing that he had destroyed the mannequin before that stage of the training was over.During the weeks that they fought the mannequin, Ken had made them do workouts in the mornings before facing the mannequin. After they had successfully disarmed it, if you looked at the boys, you would scarcely believe that these were the same scrawny boys that walked into the Blakk Guild a few weeks ago."Bravo, bravo." Ken clapped as he walked up behind them as they sat on the floor before the deactivated mannequin, all swords on the floor.The two boys turned to look at him smiling as he walked towards them."Now would you mind telling me what the entire point of this sword play was?" Damon asked

Ken went behind a tree and produced a wooden mannequin. The mannequin stood at about 7 feet tall with six arms and a manic expression carved onto what was supposed to be its face."What is that?" Alex asked,"This right here is an enchanted mannequin designed to be your training partner." Ken replied as he stood the mannequin on its feet."What's it for?" Alex asked again,"What else?" Ken replied, "for training you two dummies."Alex was confused. How would a wooden mannequin be his training partner? Would it be like a punching bag or something?While Alex and Damon tried to figure out how the mannequin was supposed to help them in their training, Ken produced 6 wooden swords and placed them in each hand of the mannequin.It was then that Alex and Damon suspected that something was different about the mannequin. "Wait a minute..." Alex muttered to himself, "master Ken said that it was enchanted. Does that mean...."Suddenly, there was a mysterious sound and the hollow eyes of the ma

"Now, before we begin any training, you have to understand how evaluations are carried out"The evaluations consist of 3 phases. In the first phase, you are tested based on your physical abilities, which include your speed, strength, agility, endurance, and all that. In the second phase, your amount of magic power is measured. There's not much anyone can do to help themselves there. The amount of magic power you will have throughout your entire career as an ability user has pretty much already been determined from the day you awakened so that one is settled. "Now, the third phase, that's the interesting part. You are tested based on how well you can combine the first two phases in real-life situations. That is to say that the third phase will be something like a survival phase. All of you who will be undergoing the evaluation will be thrust into an unforgiving environment with a finish line. No one knows what the environment is, which is why we need to prepare for anything. You will

James was running so fast that everything in his sight just blurred past and all he could think about was the different ways he would take his revenge on everyone who tossed him aside.'Just you wait Ryan, you'll pay for all that you've done to me. It's too bad Dad and your mom are no longer alive to receive their payback"He was still running when he saw the airport in the distance. He slowed down and his hands instinctively reached for the pouch of money in his pocket. He wouldn't forget to repay their kindness in the near future."What?" He exclaimed as his Omniscience began to warn him of incoming danger."But there's no one around here for miles unless..." He trailed off as he remembered the face of the strange man that kept staring at him the last night."No!" He gasped as he turned back to head to the village.***"Rodney! Rodney! Wake up! Some soldiers are here" Rodney's junior brother, Finn yelled as he approached Rodney who was ploughing the fields some distance away from th

"He's just a man who saved our lives..." Rodney shrugged, "he's not from around here so he's looking for a way to go back. I offered to accommodate him for the night as gratitude for saving our lives."Octavius scowled at Rodney and turned to James with a look of displeasure on his face.Rodney noticed this look of displeasure on Octavius' face and asked him, "What's the matter?"Octavius turned back to Rodney without taking the scowl away from his face and replied, "I don't like him. He smells like trouble. You should send him away tonight."Rodney was slightly annoyed by this statement so he grabbed Octavius by his sleeve and pulled him closer, "I don't care whether you like him or not, he saved our lives during hunting and that's all that matters. If the best we can do for him at this moment is to offer him temporary accommodation then we'll do that. If you're not comfortable with that then you can go and hide your head under a rock."Octavius shrugged Rodney's hand off his sleeve

"Yeah," James affirmed, "all the way from Graylon City. Do you know how I can get back there?""Graylon City?" Rodney retorted.James instantly knew from Rodney's reaction that he was a long way from home."That's in another entirely different continent!""Shit!" James exclaimed and kicked the snow that was on the floor. "Shit!" He exclaimed as he walked to the side to stare into the nothingness of the snowy forest.He stayed there staring for a long time Rodney was tempted to ask him what he was thinking about but he thought twice about it and decided to keep quiet and watch what James would do next.After what seemed like forever, James finally spoke up, "Is there any way to leave this place and go back to my city? Like an airport or train station, or anything like that?" "Hm...." Rodney put his hand on his chin briefly as if he was thinking, "There's an airport around here.""Great!" James' face brightened up, "where–""But–" James' face froze at that word and he suddenly became

The bear growled at James and continued circling him. It seemed it was hesitating to attack him because he was stronger than the rest, it was looking for a suitable opening to launch its attack."I see..." James nodded slowly. "You can't reply to me... Well, no matter what your reply is, I won't accept it, that's because nothing can justify what you did here."With that last statement, James jumped toward the bear and the bear used that opportunity to jump towards him too.James was naturally faster than the bear, so it had already lost before the fight even began. James sailed through the air like a rocket and punched the bear under its jaw.The punch was so hard that the sound of cracking bone filled the air and no one needed to be told that James had cracked the skull of a monster bear with just his fists. The impact of James' punch did not end at the skull, it also delivered intense trauma to the bear's brain as the force from the punch threw it into the sky.The hunters couldn't

Rodney was the only one not retreating, he wanted to make sure that he got as many men as possible out of the range of the bear.He saw one of his men who was trying to run away and had gotten his leg entangled in a dried tree branch lying on the floor. He quickly ran to his side and was trying to free his leg from the branch when he heard his men calling out to him;"Commander!""Look out!""Huh?" Rodney retorted and looked up only to find himself face to face with the most terrifying sight of his life.While he was busy trying to rescue his subordinate, he lost focus of the bear for a brief moment, and that brief moment was enough for the bear to leap through the air for an attack.He looked up just in time to see the bear sailing through the air to descend on him."Shit..." He muttered, "I messed up..."****Jason walked silently through the dried-up forest that was completely covered in ice. It amused him how a snow-covered forest looked peaceful and serene compared to a forest in

[Reward has been granted. 20 points and a D class reward box has been granted to the user.]James had stopped under a dried-up tree in the blistering cold to check his stats. The cold didn't even seem to bother him because he was just smiling sheepishly as he looked at his system.If a random person had come around and met him there, the person would think he had gone crazy because it would look like he was just smiling at himself while staring into thin air.James read through the entire rewards of the quest and was about to begin to debate with himself whether they were worth it when his eyes went to the level-up bar."Level up times what??!"
