Before reading any other thing from the window he activated the temporal time reversal skill without hesitating.Joshua charged towards Gina at an insane speed, one that would definitely raise questions, and for a split second he noticed the confusion in the eyes of Gina.“Why are…”Joshua raised her from the ground without a single word. The timer was now down to three seconds. That should not be enough. It was not supposed to be enough. Not with Gina in his hands.The beeping sound continued but Joshua did not spare the phone a single glance since his eyes were locked on the door five steps away from him.Five steps with just two seconds left?'Now or never!’He exerted pressure on his left leg, pushing his body past its limit with a force enough to rip his muscles apart.00:01.The loud beep clashed with the slamming sound the door made and a huge sigh escaped his lips.“Close,” he raised his head, ignoring the monstrous sound of waves wiping off everything in its path. All along

“You think I got here based on intuition alone?!” A masculine voice tore through the silence as a tall figure stormed into the room with a phone in his hand. One that was going to get crushed anytime if his grip tightened any further.But finally, he looked at the name on the phone before tossing it away in disgust.“Or do you think I survived based on sheer luck?!” This time the veins around his temples bulged, as though he was being choked. “No, everything I did, everything was based on planning at the right time.”A scoff made him divert his attention to a man sitting at the corner of the room with a bottle of beer in his hand.“Maybe you just happened to be in the right place at the right time,” he raised his hand, swirling the liquid in the bottle with a belch so loud that it made people's faces twist.They were just four in number. Excluding Derek who seemed like he was coming up with something.“Look around ya mate, this place does not look like something that was built careful

“What do you mean we're supposed to do this every three days?” Alice's voice echoed through the intoxicated atmosphere with a crunching sound of a bone following it.The sound alone made her lift her leg in a startled manner.Everyone of them had a facial mask on, thanks to Joshua who purchased them with over half of his total XP.Sooner or later he knew they would come around, including Xavier who was yet to speak to him ever since he oriented them about the whole system. One that still sounded like a mystery to him.“Maybe you should try to ignore it then see what would happen?” Ari rolled her eyes in exasperation. No one could see her. Not even with the fact that the mask was transparent. “Tsk.”Earlier, along with the rules and regulations that was sent to them, a notification popped up concurrently on their transparent panels, like it was some sort of game.A game that could get them killed if they failed to do the necessary, if they failed to complete it. Although, the certainty

“I heard some people survived,” the voice of a man boomed across the space. The place was more of a fortress. Like it had been stretched from one territory to the other, and compared to Joshua's clan that was just ten in number, the number of people in the place exceeded thirty.“Have you been able to get the exact number?” It was the same man, and he threw one leg above the other as he awaited a response.A female came out of the shadows, taking off her cloak, which made it possible for her face to be visible. She was pale looking, with freckles a few inches below her hazel coloured eyes that shone through her transparent glass.“They were estimated to be around two hundred, but recent data shows that they've been reduced to one hundred and thirty seven with a single man eliminating thirty-two people.”On hearing that the man let out a hysterical laughter in his throne like seat, applauding briefly before his expression morphed into something entirely different.“That should move h

“All this for what exactly?” Matthias let out a slow breath while groaning weakly, due to the deep cut in his hand.“For 10 XP each,” Benjamin's lips trembled with laughter as he kicked the creature's lifeless body that had been divided into two by Joshua who was on his knees.He had chosen not to take the recovery portion. Picking the hard way out, which was healing naturally.“Slow and steady wins the race Ben,” it was Ari this time sending the dagger into the system's store with slow footsteps before taking her seat close to Kelvin whose eyes were shut.She looked at Benjamin who was still giving the creature a piercing stare before she continued. “You did a wonderful job though. You all did.”“And we were heavily rewarded for that,” once again, Matthias' words dripped with sarcasm. “Crazy.”After spending five minutes on his knees Joshua's eyes fell to the shattered parts of the katana that was still able to reflect the sunlight. But his attention was diverted from all of that whe
