After classes were over, Alec grabbed his bag and began to head home immediately.The sky became dark, and it looked like the rain was about to pour down heavily. Alec reached the parking lot, but he was unaware of the big guys of his class waiting for him to show up so they could surround him and beat him up. Alec was in a hurry to get home for two reasons. The first reason was to avoid the bullies. And the second reason was to get home before the rain started. As Alec walked quickly, he was unaware of the guys that had watched him carefully and surrounded him. He had to look around before he understood what was happening. He wondered how the bullies were able to trap him this way despite efforts to avoid them. They just had to somehow find a way to get him alone in the parking lot, near their expensive cars. "Not you dickheads again" Alec sighed "What the hell do you want from me?" He asked slowly. A punch came his way the instant he dropped the question. He tried to dodge

Heidi was a hot blonde with sophisticated features. It was obvious she came from a wealthy family. Alec frowned as her face clicked in his mind. He remembered seeing her in the school hallway a couple of times before. “Does everyone who attends Crestwood High School work here?” he asked, not really expecting an answer. Jeremy grinned at the question. “Isn’t this the guy that slept for a full fifty four hours?” Heidi asked sassily, pointing at Alec. Alec felt embarrassed but tried hard not to show it. Jeremy smiled briefly. “Well, he’s awake now.” “So, is he the new member of this team?” Heidi asked, scrutinizing Alec from head to toe. “Very soon, Heidi,” Jeremy replied with a smile. “Very soon, he’ll become one.” Alec narrowed his eyes at Jeremy, wondering what he meant by that. He grabbed Jeremy by the arm. “Come here for a sec, please.” They walked away from Heidi. “What’s this new member stuff all about?” Jeremy grinned. “I’ve been watching you at school. Yo

Jeremy smirked at Heidi as she talked about a particular young man. It was hard for her to forget how he slept like a dead man for good fifty four hours and woke up like a strong man made for wars."What do you think about the guy?" She asked, tapping her fingers rapidly on the upgraded computer keyboard in front of her. It was one of the company's belongings and there were other computer systems around her, most of them thoroughly upraged and futuristic in both appearance and function. "Jeremy, you aren't gonna answer?" She asked impatiently, flicking her eyelashes upwards for a second to give Jeremy a glance. "What do you think about that....that guy?" "What guy?" Jeremy asked back, pretending not to know who Heidi was referring to. "What guy?" She scoffed a laugh. "Jeremy, are you serious right now?" She halted her fingers on the key to reply sassily. "After this guy slept like a dead man for good fifty four hours, he is now like a popular celebrity around here" She pressed he

Alec had been tempted to speak with the System right in the middle of the cafeteria, with everyone around him. Excitement surged through his body; his breathing was low and quick, and his heart beat was pounding against his chest. Neural Reflex vision? The side eye, like, the second sight that has been helping him detect motion at the sides.So, NRV....Plus, two billion dollars in a day? He hadn't even spent the whole billion he got last night. With everything, he knew he still had to control the strong urge to communicate with the system. Jeremy grinned at Alec, and gave him a thumbs up, while the other students mummured among themselves. "How did he grow so strong quickly?" a junior asked his friend, who also had a confused frown on his face. "That is just....a mystery" The friend replied slowly."You know, I think he looks a little different than before" A girl observed, squinting at Alec."I thought I was the only one that noticed that" The junior boy said.Many students in

"Now, let's begin, shall we?" Chad mimicked, and his followers bursted into loud laughter that made Jeremy's jaw clench. He stepped forward again, but Alec, like before, held him back. "Jeremy..." "I can just fight them" He rasped.Alec shook his head to show his disagreement. "I'm gonna handle this""Alec, I can end this now" Jeremy insisted, but Alec still disagreed, giving him a look that said no. Chad laughed scornfully "You know Jeremy, I am disappointed in you," He shook his head with feigned pity. "Hanging out with a poor, useless guy like this?" He motioned a hand to Alec in a downgrading manner. "That's just low. You could do so much better than that" "Shut the fuck up, Chad" Jeremy seethed. Chad chuckled sickly. "Listen, Jeremy, this poor little shit here..." he gestured to Alec again. "Is gonna taint your image badly, you shouldn't be seen associating with him at all" Jeremy's hands were itching to punch Chad's face, but Alec wouldn't allow it. "We can just kill th
