They soon arrived at the estate gate. Caspian easily swiped his entrance blue card.“Access Granted; Welcome back Caspian Grey Hastings.”Alfred and Phineas couldn't believe their eyes. Caspian really had an apartment in this high end area.“Isn't this Royal Residential Estate?" Mackenzie asked, looking surprised.“Yes, you're welcome." Her eyes widened a bit as she stared at Caspian. Hmm... Didn't rumors say he is too poor to afford two meals daily? How come he lives here? Caspian proceeded to lead them inside. This will be his second time spending the night in his house.As they entered the estate, the group couldn't help but marvel at the luxurious surroundings. Manicured lawns and elegant fountains lined the pathways, while sleek, modern buildings towered above them."This place is incredible," Phineas whispered, his eyes wide as he took in the sights.Caspian led them to a stylish apartment building, swiping his key card at the entrance. They piled into the elevator, and Caspia

{Activate SPEED MODE}Caspian had sprinted into the road before he recalled he needed to activate speed mode.“Caspian!!”The three screamed at the same time. Caspian's heart raced as he sprinted towards the young lady, his legs pumping faster than he thought possible. Time seemed to slow down as he activated his speed mode, the world blurring around him.The bus's horn blared, its brakes screeching as the driver desperately tried to stop. The blonde lady stood frozen in the middle of the road, her eyes wide with terror as she saw the bus bearing down on her.With a final burst of speed, Caspian reached her just as the bus was about to make an impact. He wrapped his arms around her waist and leaped, using every ounce of his enhanced strength to propel them both out of harm's way.They tumbled onto the sidewalk, Caspian instinctively shielded the woman with his body as they hit the ground. The bus roared past, missing them by mere inches.For a moment, all was silent except for the so

"That was... incredible," he admitted, shaking his head. "I thought I had you."Evie grinned, giving Alfred a playful punch on the shoulder. "You almost did! That was a close one.""Alright, my turn," Caspian said, stepping up to the controls. "Let's see if I can take down the reigning champ."Evie raised an eyebrow, a competitive glint in her eye. "Oh, you think you can beat me, huh?"Caspian selected Guile as his character, flexing his fingers over the buttons. "I've got a few tricks up my sleeve."The match began, and it was clear from the start that this was going to be different. Caspian's Guile moved with precision, dodging Chun-Li's attacks and countering with well-timed Sonic Booms and Flash Kicks.Evie's brow furrowed in concentration as she realized Caspian was a more formidable opponent than she had anticipated. His Guile moved with a fluid grace she hadn't seen before, and she found herself on the defensive more often than not."Where did you learn to play like this?" Evie

“Gosh! So many emotions,” Evie exclaimed as she patted Caspian's shoulder. He chuckled and put down the microphone.The karaoke bar erupted into applause as Caspian and Evie finished their duet. “Whoa! Bravo!” “Encore! That was deep.”Caspian's face flushed with embarrassment as he took a bow. Evie grinned beside him. Phineas and Alfred high-fived each other. Their faces were beaming with smiles like proud Moms.“Wow, he's got some serious talent,” a girl at the next table said to her friend, nodding in Caspian's direction.“I know, right?” her friend replied. “I wonder what inspired him to sing like that. He was so into it. I almost thought he was the song owner.”“So true!”“These vocals he used… damn immersive. I think it's baritone” “No, it's tenor!”A group of guys nearby started discussing Caspian's vocals. One of them pulled out his phone and started searching for the song they had just performed.“Hey, this song is really popular,” he said, showing his friends the screen.

As they entered the karaoke bar, the group was immediately immersed in a sea of colorful lights and upbeat music. The air was electric with excitement, and the smell of snacks and drinks wafted through the air. Evie squealed with delight, grabbing Caspian's arm. “Oh, they have the most trending songs! Let's go sing it!” Caspian's eyes scanned the room, taking in the vibrant atmosphere. Caspian cheered her on. “Go for it, Evie! Show us your talent!” Evie shook her head, her eyes sparkling mischievously. “No way, I'm not singing alone. Caspian, come sing with me!” “Wait! Sing? No way I'm going up that stage to sing. No… no!” Caspian immediately disagreed. He did not know how to sing very well, and he found it a bit girlish and immature to be singing in Karaoke, filled with lots of girls and college students. Phineas and Alfred chimed in, “Yeah, Caspian, join her! Don't be shy.” Caspian rolled his eyes at them and, pointed at them in annoyance, “Why don't you both go sing

“Leave!?” Clayton sneered. “Who let you leave this place before me? You're too confident and I hate it.” He immediately moved forward and tried to grab Caspian’s shirt but Caspian acted fast and agile as he decisively moved away before Clayton could reach him. “I hate how proud you sound. But who am I to complain?” Caspian adjusted the collar of his shirt as he spoke. Disdain filled his voice. “Never in your entire life, try to touch me before even grabbing me. Don't make me let you regret it.” He warned. Clayton instantly felt insulted at once. This brat!! How did this good-for-nothing pretty face get the audacity to talk back at him? Is it because of his scholarship and useless achievements? Let's see how far he can go. His eyes blazed with evil intent as he chuckled. Clayton's face reddened with rage as he recalled the incident involving h Caddel which had caused him to be too embarrassed to go out with him. He knew he had to take revenge for Caddel if he wanted him

The wave of null slowed before it reached the castle.It washed across the Central Field like a held breath, cold but controlled, stripping nothing permanent, breaking no anchors. The castle flickered once more… then stabilized, its white glow reasserting itself with quiet defiance.Baxter exhaled sharply. “So… are we about to die or, ”“No,” Ogodo said, almost amused. “Nothing will happen.”She folded her hands behind her back, watching the sky as though this were a familiar sport. “This is not war in your sense. It is a ritual conflict. A game of dominance.”Below them, the panic dissolved into something else… Anticipation. Platforms around the field lit up with cascading sigils. Probability grids flared into existence. Entire sections of the city began projecting shifting numbers, odds recalculating in real time.Lorenzo frowned. “Are those… wagers?”“Yes,” Ogodo replied. “Some people gamble big. Prestige. Resources. Future favors. Even territories.” She glanced at the Star-Eater,

Ogodo led them deeper into Kogi, the streets subtly rearranged themselves, pathways widening, lights softening, colors shifting into warm, iridescent hues. Towers bent ever so slightly, like elegant giants bowing in acknowledgment. Soft harmonic tones rippled through the air, a melodic resonance that seemed tuned to their heartbeats.“Are the buildings… reacting to us?” Erica whispered.“Yes,” Ogodo replied serenely. “Kogi recognizes distinction. The city adjusts itself to honor guests of high value.”Before any of them could respond, a procession emerged from the central boulevard. Figures clad in flowing, luminescent garments approached, men and women adorned with crystalline threads that pulsed gently with light. Floating drones hovered above them, projecting delicate symbols that shimmered like constellations.One stepped forward and bowed deeply.“Honored Ones,” the figure said, voice layered with a soft echo, “Kogi welcomes you.”With a graceful wave of his hand, garments mat

The landscape gradually opened into a vast expanse, and before them stood a city that seemed torn from a dream.Towering skyscrapers of shimmering glass and metal spiraled into the sky, their surfaces alive with light, holograms flickering like distant stars.Roads floated above the ground, lined with vehicles that glided silently, leaving trails of luminescent energy in their wake. The air vibrated faintly, as if the city itself was alive and breathing.“This… this is insane,” Baxter muttered, eyes wide as he stumbled slightly on the smooth ground. “I’ve never seen anything like it.”“Insane doesn’t even begin to cover it,” Lorenzo added, brushing ash off his shoulders while craning his neck.“It’s… advanced. Way more advanced than anything back home.”A figure appeared suddenly, walking toward them from a path lined with gleaming towers. She was human, tall, and black, her posture confident yet welcoming. Her eyes held a quiet curiosity, scanning them as she approached.“Greetings,

He felt guilty immediately. It hit him like a physical blow. His chest tightened, breath breaking as the reality of what he’d done caught up all at once.He cried, quiet at first, then harder, and wrapped his arms around Adams, holding him as if letting go would shatter them both.“I’m here,” he choked out, burying his face into Adams’s shoulder. “I’m here.”Adams didn’t pull away. He held him back just as tightly, one hand gripping the back of his jacket, the other pressed flat between his shoulder blades. The world trembled around them, metal groaning, alarms screaming, but for a heartbeat, that was all that existed.“Four minutes, fifty seconds!” Erica shouted over the noise.A concussive blast tore through the chamber as Erica fired again, sparks exploding from the exposed motherboard.The final barrier gave way with a shriek of tortured metal. Energy surged, unstable and blinding, and the portal snapped open, an oval of violent light clawing at the air, dragging debris toward it.

“Make him remember? How?”Adams couldn't think of how to make Aleric remember at this point.“Same way you, and the two others remembered, tell him things that could trigger his memory without error,” Erica shouted from where she was still trying to pry the other board open.Adams cautiously walked closer to Aleric.“Remember, this isn't you Aleric. You are not meant to become any king. Believe it or not, you won't survive the next thirty minutes in this place even if everyone is to die. You'd also be eliminated dddd”Aleric staggered back as the memories surged around him but none of them stuck. They played like fleeting fragments.Just like they had for Baxter and Lorenzo until they finally broke through.He clutched his head, breath ragged, eyes darting through collapsing fragments of a life that refused to assemble into something whole.“I…” His voice cracked. “I don’t remember that. I don’t remember any of it.” he screamed. “LIES… I AM MEANT TO BE THE KING OF THE SYSTEM. YOU ALL

The void convulsed as a new authority signature slammed into existence.STOP! WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU TRYING TO DO LORENZO?Aleric turned just as a part of the system split open.Adams stumbled through the fracture, Erica closed behind him, her arm locked around his shoulder as if dragging him through sheer refusal to let go.The system reacted instantly.[ERROR: UNKNOWN ENTRANCE][ERROR: NON-COMPLIANT ENTITIES DETECTED][FORCEFUL CORRECTION ENGAGED]Chunks of broken code erupted like shrapnel. Gravity inverted, then shattered. The void twisted, folding in on itself as alarms screamed in overlapping layers.Baxter hit the ground hard, skidding across dissolving terrain.Lorenzo staggered, barely catching himself.Aleric straightened slowly.His smile returned.“You brought outsiders,” he said calmly. “How careless.”Adams coughed, blood streaking his chin as he forced himself upright. His eyes locked onto Baxter, then Lorenzo.“Don’t,” he shouted, voice hoarse but cutting through the ch
