Klaus’s pov The cold air bit my skin as I stumbled out of the station, my shirt torn, and a fresh bruise pulsing just beneath my left eye. Blood coated the corner of my mouth, and every bone in my body ached from the beating Felix and his goons had delivered. But that pain was nothing compared to the fire boiling in my chest."Attempted murder," I muttered to myself. "She almost died. And that bastard walks?"I had stormed into the police station, fury blazing in my veins, demanding justice for Evelyn. I still remembered the look in the officer's eyes as he calmly, almost mockingly, told me there wasn't enough evidence to hold Felix."Mr. Klaus," he had said, folding his arms across his chest. "You don't have concrete evidence that links Mr. Felix Carter to the assault. Without a witness or a confession, this is hearsay.""She almost died!" I shouted back, my voice cracking."We need more than suspicion. Bring us proof, and we'll reopen the investigation."I had expected some resista
Chapter 12
Klaus's POV I got back to school the following day, and I could hear snippets of their talks. “ Is he dead? I heard he was shot at when you-know-who tried to get him to talk.” As I walked past them, I could feel their gaze land on me. They were looking, staring. I could feel a thousand gazes on me, and I felt the ground should open and swallow me. He can't be dead. That was not possible. Jerome was the only person who knew what really happened to Evelyn. The system gave me just some hours to find out the truth. My heart thudded and beat fast at the thought of what could happen to me if I lost the connection to the system scared the hell out of me. I was just a nobody before the system came to my aid. I need to find Jordan and know what really happened. I noticed the students could not stop talking. Most of them were averting me like I was a plague. I wonder why?“ Have you seen Jordan?” I asked one of the students.“ No.” He said and hissed. I kept walking and collided wi
Chapter 13
[ System message ; You just passed your next mission ][ System reward ; Money will be sent to your account in a bit ]My face went pale. I could not even do what the system is asking me to do but they are paying me?I looked at Jordan who was going to need real medical attention. “ Why do you look so surprised? The fact that I squashed the camera or what?” Felix asked staring at me But I wasn't bothered about him for a bit. I was eagerly anticipating the next mission the system was going to throw in my face. [ DING! ] I looked at my phone and an alert of the promised money was visible in my account. [ DING! ][ System mission ; Take Jordan for medical treatment. ]How? How am I going to do that when Felix and his cronies were here looking at me like a predator waiting to pounce on its prey. I knew they were finding my behavior funny while Jordan was lost. He kept looking at me and funnily he wasn't groaning in pain. Their attention was shifted to me. I looked up and saw Feli

I waited patiently with my hands clasped behind many backs. I forgot my superhuman strength for a while. My focus was on Jordan, who was inside the ER.My mind went back to what had happened.Maybe it was the adrenaline that kicked in. The system had never granted me superhuman strength before. I wasn't sure if it was permanent or temporary.One thing I know was certain. Felix was not going to give up now that I had him humiliated. He was going to come at me with everything he had got.The stranger who had the power of the system too. “ Who the hell is she, and why was she there exactly when Jordan was wheeled into the ER?Has she been spying on me?I was short of words. My head kept spinning each time, trying to grasp her location, but then the door burst open, and the doctor walked out.“ Talk to me, doctor. Is he going to be alright?” I asked with an anxious look on my face.I still need to visit Evelyn hospital. She has not woken yet after the last incident.I prayed that she woul
Chapter 15
Klaus's povThe doctor walked in and saw me seated beside her. “ Please doctor, can you tell me when she is going to have her eyes opened?” The doctor smiled as he walked closer to me. “ I know you are anxious to see her awake but what was done to her was not something she could easily recover from. I believe she should be dead but..” the doctor looked at the bed. “ She is a fighter.” “ Let me know the cost for everything doctor. I am ready to pay whatever is needed to make sure Evelyn is alright.” I said feeling guilty.The doctor looked at me, he could see the guilt in my eyes. “ You don't need to feel bad, Mr Klaus. This is not your fault.” He said, patting me on the back.I wanted to tell him how I caused the accident. “ I just felt I was partially responsible for her state.” I replied. “ Don't worry, she is going to be alright.” The doctor said finally as I got to my feet. I clenched my hands and smirked. It was time to fight Felix and his cronies and I am going to fight them
Chapter 16
Klaus's POVThe cafeteria buzzed with uncertainty, and the scent of scandal hung in the air like an invisible fog. I sat alone at the far end, not out of fear or shame—but by choice. I didn’t need a crowd yet. The lion doesn’t hunt with a pack. He waits. He watches. And then, he strikes.Leo was nowhere to be found.Good.The news had gone viral faster than expected. Students whispered about it in hushed tones, scrolling through their phones like they were searching for confirmation. Some gasped. Others chuckled. But all of them knew one thing:Leo had fallen.And the person sitting in the corner, dressed in black and oozing quiet menace, was the one responsible.“Dude… did you hear?” A boy from the table near me leaned in to whisper to his friend. “Leo’s dad stormed the principal’s office. They’re trying to cover it up, but it’s too late. The evidence is solid.”I took a slow bite of my apple and stared straight ahead. One move down. Several more to go.My phone buzzed again.[Missio
Chapter 17
Klaus's pov The room bubbled with interactions as I saw many of the kids trying to make connections. Most of them were in expensive suits and clothes. Clothes that cost a fortune and of course shoes that put food on a poor man's table. Those kids were actually living the lives of their dream and I was ready to shatter it all. Or should I say I was ready to disband the group and melt out the required punishment to whoever deserves it. I was going to be the punisher “ What is he doing here?” “ I am sure he is here to do the cleaning. Someone like he doesn't belong here. This room is for the ‘ Rich kids.’I didn't say a word. My face was strict. I walked up to the receptionist. A student also who was known for admitting new members. “ What do you want, Klaus? Everyone knows you are not supposed to be here “ she said with a stern face. “ Why don't you check your system and tell me if I am in the wrong room.” I replied, my hand tapping against the front desk. “ Can you stop doing
Chapter 18
The students all looked at me as I took my seat right in the middle of them all. “ Can I get lemonade juice?” I said with a smirk on my face. I knew I was going to get the man I wanted. “ What do you think Felix is going to do when he sees him here?” “ All hell is going to let loose!” “ How do you think someone like Klaus is able to get himself into a place like this?” “ I am sure he begged his way in and when Felix comes, he is going to put him back where he belongs.” “ In the thrash.” I looked at them and said nothing. I know most of the kids here by their family's or father's reputations. These are kids that get away with murderous acts and have innocent kids replace them in prison. I had suffered a lot at Felix’s hands to know what he was now and I am not going to stop till I have him brought to my knees.“ Do I need to repeat myself? Can I get lemonade juice?!” I yelled The waitress who was busy attending to some of the kids rushed to my side shivering. “ Oh my god! He
Chapter 19
The whole school buzzed with news of me joining the Rich kid hideout. “ Did you hear that Klaus is now part?” A student who had a pair of glasses on said staring at her friend. “ Part of what?” “ I thought you heard the new gist. He even had some of Felix’s cronies thrown under the bus.”“ You mean Leo?” Another asked joining the conversation. “ How come none of you are not getting any of this? I thought.” She brought out her phone and shoved it in their faces. “ It is all over the school forum. Did you guys ever use your phones?” “…And look at this thread,” the girl in glasses continued, scrolling fast. “There’s even a video of Klaus walking into the lounge and changing the music—like some mafia boss.”“Wait—he changed the music?” her friend asked, blinking in disbelief. “I thought that was just a glitch.”“Nope. He owned it. Even made the DJ look like an intern on his first day.”All around campus, the same buzz echoed. Klaus, the once invisible nobody, had turned the hierarchy
Chapter 20
Klaus's pov The stars blinked overhead, indifferent to the chaos below. I stood frozen outside my car, the wind biting through my jacket, my heart pounding like a war drum. I reread the system message again, as if it would vanish if I looked away.[ System message: Congratulations Klaus. You have just been given a healing potion. ][ System task: Use before twenty-four hours. ]I glanced at the two missed calls from the hospital—one from Jordan’s ward, the other from Evelyn’s.I could still hear the desperation in the doctor’s voice. “She’s asking to see you.” Evelyn. The girl who once dragged me out of a spiral when no one else noticed. She had slipped into that coma because she trusted me, because she wanted to help me. And now she was awake.I don't know her condition and the thought of what she was going to say to me gnawed at me. But so was Jordan. And he was angry. Rightfully so. He had done everything because I asked him to. Because I trusted him to have my back—and I repaid
