Close Call
He felt the cold metal press his skull again.“Oh, man. I don't have anything on me except this water bottle.” Adrian said with his trembling voice in fear. He tried not to move an inch, but his body was shaking uncontrollably.“You fuckin with me, neggah. This is the last time I'm tellin you. Give me all you got, or I'll put a big hole in your skull and then fuck your brain with my dick.” This time his voice became much rougher than the last time.“If you don’t believe me… just check my pockets.” Adrian swallowed, his throat getting drier.Adrian felt the pressure of cold metal move and stopped at the back of his skull.“Stand up.” The rough voice commanded.Adrian stood up carefully. His legs were already destroyed from the 9.8 kilometers, wobbling like jelly under the pressure of terror. He felt a rough hand tap a few times on the left thigh and grabbed the keys out of his pocket."What are these keys?” The rough voice asked.“Sir. These are my house keys.” Adrian replied with a lo
Limit… Reached
Adrian stared at his phone, chest still rising and falling like he'd just survived a fight. He looked at the phone screen; he couldn't believe what he was seeing.Kaitlyn?He rubbed his eyes with his trembling knuckles. The last thing he expected was a text from her. He tapped the notification open.Kaitlyn: Hey! Hope I'm not disturbing you. How's your morning going?Sigh! My morning? I'm lying on the floor, bathing in my own sweat and unable to feel my arms.Adrian sighed before typing back, forcing his shaking finger to be accurate.Adrian: Hey. Not disturbing at all. Just finishing a workout. How about you?The three dots danced on the screen, and the reply came almost instantly.Kaitlyn: I'm good! Just busy with work as usual. Are you free this upcoming Saturday?Adrian frowned his brow in curiosity.Adrian: Yeah, I'm free. Why?Kaitlyn: I have to drive out to the next state. It's a long drive, and I really hate driving that far alone. I was wondering if you could tag along. Keep
Secret quest
Haaaah! Haaaah!Adrian jumped up in bed; his face was red, full of tension. His chest felt heavy; he was unable to breathe properly. His hands were shaking uncontrollably as he grabbed the bedsheet unconsciously. He was covered in sweat, and his t-shirt was soaked in it.Haah! Haah!He could hear his heartbeat thudding; he was breathing heavily."System." Adrian called the system; his voice cracked in desperation. [Pulse Card Balance: $454][Complete the Main Quest to level up the system.][Quest Log:][Pushups (100/4)][Sit-ups (100/10)][Squats (100/0)][Running (10/0 km)][Spends ($1000/100)]Haaah~Seeing the system panel appear, Adrian let out a long breath of relief."Thank God… It was just a nightmare…" He muttered.He now felt his breath lighter, and his heart's thudding was getting slower.But what if this nightmare becomes true? No! Fuck that… I have to grind… level the system up and protect my future.Adrian grabbed his phone to check the time; it was 7:59 A.M. He dragged
Honda Civix
A black Honta Civix pulled up beside Adrian. Adrian looked at the car and made a confused face. The passenger window rolled down, and a cute, calm, and bright face appeared."Hop in, I'll drop you off." Kaitlyn offered help as soon as she saw Adrian, who was struggling with a few bags."Thank you, Kaitlyn." Adrian thanked her and pulled the back door open, put the bags on the back seat, and closed the back door. Then he opened the front passenger seat and sat beside her. The inside of the car was clean, cool, and smelled faintly like vanilla air freshener."You are doing pretty damn well for yourself, so what do you do for a living?" Adrian asked her, as her outfit and car were adequate enough to impress Adrian."I am the assistant general manager of Silverline Auto Group." She replied with a proud smile on her face."Wow, seriously? AGM at one of the finest car dealers on the current market! That's great. But if you are the AGM of such a
Meat
"Eh? Why is this beggar trying to get in?" The thought flashed through the mind of a 6'5" (195.5 cm) man in a black uniform the moment he saw Adrian approaching.Before Adrian could even reach the door, a massive hand appeared and stopped only a few inches from Adrian's chest."Hold it." The guard rumbled with his deep, rough voice. "You are not allowed to enter in dressed like that.""Huh!?" Adrian was confused. He looked down at himself. "Yeah... Fair enough." Adrian muttered and nodded as he was wearing a stained white t-shirt and faded black shorts with sandals."Look, man, I can pay. I can afford the food." Adrian was a little annoyed."No can do, sir. Even if you have a million dollars in your pocket. Policy is policy." The security guard shook his head and denied him on the spot."Another rigged system. Assholes." Adrian knew it was not the security guard's fault for stopping him. Some suit upstairs had probably made that
Heartbeat
The creaky wooden door screamed in agony as Adrian pushed it open and stepped into his small apartment. The place smelled faintly of cigarette smoke. He kicked the door shut behind him.Thud!!He shrugged off his cheap worn-out satchel from his shoulder, tossed it onto the bed without looking, and went straight to the bathroom.He pulled out a packet of cigarettes from his pocket, tapped one loose, lit it, and took a long drag, holding it in like he needed it more than oxygen. After that, he pulled down his pants and sat on the toilet."What's even the point of giving an interview? All they say is 'wE wIlL lEt yOu kNoW,' yeah? When? In the next life? Assholes!" Adrian muttered half to himself and half to the cracked tiles in front of him with a frustrated tone."All I am doing is going here and there, dropping resumes and giving interviews, but not a single response after that. They want experience for the job. How the fuck will I gain experience if you don't give me a job? Fuck the s
