[Ding!!!][System activated!]Suddenly, a sound rang in Adrian’s head, and a translucent black screen appeared in front of him, floating in the air. Fonts and edges glowing with faint golden light.Hearing a sound so close, he stumbled backward on instinct. His shoulder slammed into someone walking behind him.“Watch where you're going, asshole!” The man shouted.“S-Sorry.” Adrian apologized and stepped aside immediately. His eyes never leaving the floating panel.“Deepshit” The man muttered and walked away.Adrian's breathing had become heavy. His heartbeat beating faster.A—am I… hallucinating?[Hacking System][Host: Adrian Miles][System level: 1]— — — — —[Skills:][Hacking level: Beginner]The interface suddenly shifted from landscape to portrait, and lines of text were scrolling downward.“How the hell does this thing know my name?” Adrian stared in disbelief.He raised his hand to touch the panel. But before he could touch it, the black panel expanded and a series of golden l

Wednesday, August 20, 2025SSIT8:30 A.MRing! Ring!Adrian stopped the alarm, woke up, and went to the bathroom. After getting dressed, he went to the exclusive dining hall for breakfast. It was a buffet-type breakfast, so he grabbed foods onto his plate and sat at an empty table. He pulled his phone from his pocket and texted Clara.Adrian: You awake?The message was delivered but unread. Maybe she is still sleeping.As he was eating, he saw a girl approaching his table. She had neck-length red hair and matching red eyes. Her neck, wrists, and ears were covered with heavy gold jewelry.“Are you a freshman?” She asked, her voice sharp and commanding.“Ye… Yes.” Adrian replied.“Are you sure you are in the right place?” she continued, looking him up and down.“I think I am. Why? Adrian asked.“Your cheap phone and your clothes do not exactly match the residents of this building.” She said, her tone openly arrogant.“Do not bully the poor guy, Livia.” an elegant voice came from a few

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

University president, deans, and various department heads all stepped on the stage to give motivational speeches, one after another. Finally, at 11:30 AM, the last speaker finished and announced a picnic-style lunch on the main lawn, and were all expected back in the auditorium at 2:00 PM.“Finally, it's over.” Clara sighed with relief.“For a few hours, anyway. We have to be back at 2:00.” Adrian reminded her.“Ugh. Well, let's at least see what's on the lawn, and then we will head back to our exclusive dining hall. I can't stand crowds like this.”“Sounds good to me.” Adrian agreed.They stood up and headed out to the lawn, which was covered in booths for student clubs and robotics teams.“Are you interested in joining any club?” Adrian asked.“Mmm. Not really, But let’s see what they’ve got.” Clara said, her eyes were already scanning the signs. She grabbed his hand and pulled him toward the tech-related tables.She collected a flier and handed it to Adrian. He read the first one a

BlackHoodedGuy: Sender Bank details: *****, Receiver bank details: *****.Ghost: Okay, I’ll let you know when It’s done.Adrian copied the details and closed the dark web forum. Then he cracked his knuckles, and he started to press on his laptop keyboard.Since The sender’s bank and the receiver’s bank were different, he had to breach two separate servers.It took him four hours to complete the task.In these four hours he managed to breach both of the bank servers and managed to alter both banks' logs. Not only that, but he even went a step further. He managed to alter both the sender's and the receiver's text messages and emails to make the failed transaction look convincing to any bank official who might investigate.He looked at the time. It was almost 3 A.M.Ugh! If I had a faster laptop. This work could be done in under 2 hours.Adrian opened the dark web forum and sent a message to BlackHoodedGuy.Ghost: It’s done. Tell your client to verify, and just let me know when he confir

A few minutes later, her reply came.BlackHoodedGuy: Okay. Sir, I will find you hacking jobs. I will let you know as soon as I find something.Ghost: Good, text me when you find anything for me.Adrian immediately started to trace if BlackHoodedGuy and Clara are one person or not. He typed rapidly, tracing BlackHoodedGuy's digital footprint back from the forum. It took him twenty minutes, but he found her. He pulled her files, her real name, her location… and her pictures.He was right. BlackHoodedGuy was Clara Jackson.He didn't stop there. He kept digging. Another thirty minutes confirmed the rest of her story: her father was, in fact, serving a life sentence for killing her mother. She was telling the truth.She is talented. She is good at hacking. I only managed to trace her because of the system. Without it, she would be a ghost. This system… it puts me on a completely different level.Adrian checked his message section. There was a message from BlackHoodedGuy.BlackHoodedGuy: Si
