It was dark, and a mist covered the entire tunnel. As Jace stepped onto the staircase, his footsteps echoed, breaking the silence ahead. He continued further, caressing his open arms as the air became colder.
He shook his head, wishing he had not worn his lightweight t-shirt.
“How am I supposed to know that the system would transport me to this weird place?” he asked himself as he continued to caress his arms.
The last place he had been in was outside Serex’s apartment. He recalled walking out of the building, trying to make out his next move. But after much thought, he had decided to attempt the quest before moving forwards.

“What do you mean by that?” Elias questioned in anger as he paced around his office. “I could not get a hold on him, sir.” the man before him, a roughly young man in his early thirties answered. His head was bowed before Elias, and his hand tightened around the material of his black cargo pants. Elias stared at him for a moment before speaking. “So you are trying to tell me that you failed to apprehend a mere man and now he is nowhere to be found?” “He is–” “Shut the fuck up!” Elias yelled, “I was told that you were the best assassin which made me hire you and now you are telling me that you were unable to catch the one person I paid you to catch?” The man bowed slowly. “I am sorry, sir. I might have failed to capture this man but I ended up stabbing his assistant.” the man said, his voice lowered by the mask that covered his face. “That was not what I sent you to do.” Elias told him, then he paused, “did he die?” “No, sir. I tracked his whereabouts and discovered that his

Vira was wrapped in blankets as she lay in bed, her gaze fixed on the reporter's next move. When she saw him getting out of bed, she pretended to be asleep.Mr. Alan walked towards his clothes, which were on the ground, and picked them up before going to the bathroom.Vira observed closely, waiting for him to leave the room. When he was gone into the bathroom, Vira sat up.The sound of pouring water made her get up from the bed. She tiptoed from her side of the bed to the opposite side. She noticed Alan's wallet and phone, both of which were on a small table nearby.On seeing them, she let out a sly smile and gently walked towards the small table. The sounds of pouring water persisted, giving her the opportunity to continue with her secret mission.When she got hold of the cellphone, she unlocked it with a single swipe.

“How dare you?!” Vira yelled as soon as she entered the room. The room was different from where they usually met, but their meeting was the same; only this time, her life and career were in danger. Mr. Alan rolled his eyes. “Do you really want to start by shouting?” “How dare you manipulate me?” she yelled again, “do you think I have no means of fighting back?” The reporter let out a laugh. This irritated Vira, but she overlooked it. “What do you want? Spill it.” “You know what I want, Vira dear.” Vira rolled her eyes. His demeanor only irritated her more. When she did not respond, he continued, “You should know by now that I am in charge here; given that I work with a wide range of media, these images could cause a lot of damage to you.” Vira clenched her jaws.

The media had been quiet for days, with nothing new to report other than HaleTech's struggle to stabilize the company.Elias was nowhere to be seen in front of cameras and even his wife, Vira had taken some time off from the public.Jace smirked. He had accomplished some things but he wasn't done yet. As the vehicle swerved towards his building, Jace heaved a sigh of relief. His home was more of a respite from work, a tranquil place to unwind.He got down and began walking towards the building, with Serex following behind. Jace turned his head slightly but said nothing when he saw the young man. That was his normal routine, to make sure his boss was settled before leaving.When they arrived at the penthouse, Serex opened the door so his boss could enter. On stepping his foot into the house, Jace immediately knew something was wrong.“Stop. Do not take anoth
CHAPTER TWENTY-SEVEN
The ride to work was quiet. Jace was absorbed in the view outside the vehicle as he was thinking about the pop up notification he had seen earlier.He can not believe he had been so preoccupied with accumulating wealth that he forgot to consider the central system of his life.He had been granted the power to become rich, to fight and to become the greatest but his recent focus had been on riches and nothing else.Just as he was about closing his eyes, the notification showed again.|[Your vitals are running low. Engage in a quest to upgrade the system.]|[Accept] [Reject]Jace let out a sigh and closed his eyes. He would think about it later, but for now, he needed to get to work.***“What do you mean by “everything is crashing”?” Mrs. Quen asked her daughter as she sat be
