A golden light grew so bright, so bright it illuminated the entire environment until Daniel's eyes popped open. Right in front of him, were golden texts hanging mid air.[LEGACY SYSTEM INITIALIZATION COMPLETE][Host Name : Daniel Hayes][System Status : Binding complete][Welcome Daniel Hayes]Daniel almost freaked out. "I have finally lost it, haven't I?""Is this supposed to be my gateway to heaven?"The door to the room opened up, Daniel saw past the golden text and a doctor had stepped in—Mid forties, adorned by a white coat and glasses.It was then Daniel looked around and saw that he was actually in a hospital and not heaven.But how?"Good morning Mr. Hayes, glad to see you're awake." He said without making eye contact, his gaze was on the monitor. "How's the pain?"Pain?What pain?Daniel also felt something, it shouldn't be possible, Infact, it shouldn't be at all.Daniel felt he could move his other hand as if Victor never crushed it!"Impossible!" Daniel gasped, brandishing

"H-how?! Who are you? Why are you helping Hamilton?" Aurora collected the cheque, gave it to one of the men immediately, "Ma'am it's real." The reply made her world halt in an instant. "So who are you?" Aurora faced Daniel. "You showed up out of nowhere, and the first thing you do is save Doctor Hamilton." Daniel remained unfazed. "I believe everyone has their own form of self interest. Just like you, I have mine." Aurora's face reddened with rage. She felt like giving an order for Daniel to get squashed like a bug but, whoever Daniel is, he had succeeded in preventing her from doing something she enjoyed doing the most with her time. For the first time ever, someone had thwarted her plans. She came closer, their faces inches apart. "I don't know who you are but mark my words, this isn't over yet." "Should I walk you out?" a playful gesture curled up Daniel's face. Aurora's face flushed with anger even more. Being double crossed and that by a boy? She stormed out of t

It was starting to get dark, Daniel still hadn't found a place to crash for the night. It also looked like it was going to rain. Clouds turned grey in moments and the eerie feeling of a storm coming made Daniel's skin hair stand. If he couldn't spend out of his wealth then what? Was he supposed to magically convince someone to just let him crash with them for the night? Daniel Hayes grew up having no friends, all his life he dedicated it to his studies and grandfather. What many never knew about Daniel is how smart and intelligent he is. All those years having no friends was the result of it. Except he had a love interest but... he would never consider it as one. Daniel walked up miles upon miles, before he crashed on a road side bench, dehydrated. Daniel thought of getting a bottle of water but heck no, the legacy system was strict about its rules. Food, water—Daniel needed them, desperately. Daniel clicked open his tab and focused his gaze more solely on the w

The Blackwell Manor."You lost her?" A man's cold inhuman voice filled the entire room like a thunder clap.The men in black stiffened. These men in black were faction X soldiers."I gave you all a simple task! capture the damn girl and finish her off for good and bring back the black card." His voice raises through"Honey relax, it's started raining after all, they must have been unable to see her during the storm.""Storm my foot." The man thundered. "They are super powered for fuck sake and she, Theresa has no skills whatever, she's just as useless as her father." He kicked the table beside him so hard it shattered.His eyes exploded with intense fury as he moved around, restless, provoked. Red hair, black tux, red tie, mid thirties. He grabbed one of the soldiers. "Where was the last place you saw her?" His eyes fuming with intense rage as he asked."Sir, we have no clue, it started raining when he had her in plain sight, she disappeared into a crowd and by the time we got through,

There were Three of them, Black tactical suits, built like walls, combat glasses pushed up on their foreheads. Their eyes swept the room and there was Theresa in a towel on the far side, two people who looked like they had nowhere else to be.The one in front relaxed slightly.Then his eyes landed back on Daniel."Step aside kid." He moved to push past him.But Daniel didn't bulge as he looked unfazed with both his hands folded. The soldier stopped to finally look at him properly for the first time. Nineteen, lean, arms loose at his sides, barefoot on a motel carpet. Everything about him was easy, or so they had thought."I said step aside!" He growls, this time in a more angry tone."You knocked on the wrong door." Daniel told them, a cold expression had swept through his face."We're looking for a woman. Black card, Dark hair. Have you seen anyone like that tonight?”“No” He responded but the soldiers looked past his shoulder straight to Theresa and their gaze stayed there for jus
