A Fresh retelling.
New York never truly slept. It just blinked slowly at night, hiding its chaos behind flashing lights and distant sirens. The air smelled of smoke, old oil, grease and fast food. People moved like ghosts. Some in a rush, others just trying to stay warm. New York was an unusual place. A man moved through the crowd quickly, one hand deep in his coat pocket, the other gripping a black briefcase. He had the look of someone who didn’t want to be noticed, although his handsome features said otherwise. He had a clean shave and trimmed hair to an almost low cut, complimenting his face that looked between his late forties and early fifties. He also had a black tuxedo beneath The coat, generating additional heat for him. Nonetheless, he proceeded, casting occasional glances behind him. He had done this before, roughly twenty years ago before he became a tech mogul. This reminded him of that dark past he always left behind. However, he has to do reconcile with the past now. Else his future, his
The Hierarchy Of Power.
"Now I see it. David, I'm coming." She spoke in a resolute tone. She walked briskly to her room's door, taking one last look behind her at the bed, suspecting there was something mysterious there. Confirming there wasn't, she proceeded, leaving the room. Unknown to her, Colleen had just left her room, hearing the hurried footsteps she emitted. Both women headed in their room's direction had their attention elsewhere and they collided. Audrey, the stronger one due to her armour immediately grabbed Colleen."Are you okay?" She asked."Yes. I was worried about you. I literally heard your footsteps." The former responded. "Yes, that." She paused, taking a deep breath. "Why are you in your armour?" Colleen asked before she could reply. "David. I think he's in trouble. He needs us." She spoke. "David? I told you he's fine. He's on a mission and he'll be back soon." "Why do you keep saying this like it's systematically ingrained in you? David is in trouble and needs our help, Colleen

Now I see it.
"Bring it on. I'm still keeping my promise. I'll win, and I'll fucking kill you." The system chuckled, a wave of sparkling codes flowing through them. They snapped, and the earth rumbled, creating an effect akin to an earthquake. David felt the floor split beneath his feet, and rose immediately to avoid falling into the trench beneath. He gawked as the floor of the arena turned inside out, crisp rocks and dust grinding against each other like the inside hears of machines, turning clockwise and anticlockwise against one another. A pool of lava seeped forth, rising higher than he could comprehend. He floated further above, avoiding the heat wave coming for him. He stopped, watching at the Lava spread to the arena, then suddenly stopped burning, and had become rock, cold, hard molten rock.A new rocky terrain was born, one with cliffs, boulders and trenches. All lined with sharp rocks that could stone and stab him if care wasn't taken. Taking a deep breath, he descended, his boots
You're just as bad as them
"Now you beautiful Codes. Let's cheer our champion as he awaits his next challenger." The system announced, then lowered themself towards David."Oh David, it's just about to get hard, very fucking hard." They whispered. "I've never backed down from a challenge, why do you think this will be different?" He asked with a smirk. "The confidence. Save it for when you are out of moves." They quipped back, then teleported to their high platform. He stood, awaiting his next opponent with his sword held tightly in his grip. Suddenly, the ground stirred. He tumbled, feeling the asphalt grinding against him. He quickly levitated, watching as the battle arena shifted from a smooth, asphalt road to the rocky terrains of a mountain. In that moment, he frowned. An opponent so familiar loomed. One of his earliest adversaries. A stream of rune symbols burst forth, spraying around the arena, littering the air with light blue sparks, complemented with the dark fog that followed suit. Having fough
You're just a monster.
After what seemed like moments of waiting, they stepped forward, stripping themselves of their cloak. David's eyes widened with shock. He was seeing the unexpected… a ghost. He almost dropped his sword in surprise and eased his battle stance. "Y…you. How the fuck are you alive?" He questioned, his face suddenly reddening with anger. The figure's rugged breath slowed down and they coughed, crackling their knuckles slowly. "You don't get to act silent around me." David spoke again, the rising anger in his voice was evident. Finally, they spoke, "David Hart. It has been a while.""Yeah, no shit Syrus. The last time as I recalled, I killed you. Why am I even asking these stupid questions. Obviously you were fucking resurrected by the system." He groaned. "I have waited for so long… David, although that moment of wait was merely a flash in time for me." Syrus responded. "You should have stayed Dead… Syrus." He warned, holding his sword tightly. "Well, I am dead…boy. What more can y
