The next day after the race, Zach looked at his game points, it was 25, an increase by 5.
But, there was something else he had been doing this past few days. Online bantering. Tim kept calling him out in the school forum to come race him again if he had the guts, but Zach refused and Tim began to call him names. Zach lost it when his mother was mentioned again. So he calmly brought out the demon writer in him. "Dear Tim, are you a coward or were you trained by animals or maybe your dad is one? Because I see no reason why a loser can't accept he lost, keep rapping like a dog, I'm done with you." Zach typed. The school forum exploded with Zach dropping that message and a line stood out. "Were you trained by an animal? Or maybe your dad is one?" His Account which had the name "IamZach" Immediately started gaining followers. The comment section had comments like: "Hey you above me were you trained by a Monkey or maybe your father is one?" Tim went silent after that. Making Zach seem like a winner. Zach stretched his body as he smiled, the ringing of fame points began again. He was gaining fame, "What a refreshing feeling." Zach muttered. **************** Few days later. "How did you get the money?" Zach's mom, Juliet, asked in shock as her son told her to move into a well-furnished one-bedroom apartment with a parlour. It had been five days since the car race incident, and Zach had been scouting for a good apartment for his mom. He finally found one and made sure it had all the necessary furnishings. The money he won was almost gone, with only a small amount left, but seeing the shock and tears in his mother’s eyes made it all worth it. "Don’t worry about the money. It’s nothing. Just enjoy it. The rent is for one year, I’ll find a better place before then," Zach said. "Thank you, my son. God will bless you for me," Juliet said happily. Zach wasn’t worried about getting more money after all, the basketball competition was around the corner, and he still had three lucky tablets left. That gave him 30 minutes of enhanced luck. He was confident he could get the highest score. The only challenge now was getting enough playtime. As Zach left the building, he had no idea that a large man in a black suit was watching him from a distance. "Sir, I’ve found his location. He was with his mom," the man said through an earpiece. "Okay, monitor him. Attack when the time is right," the voice on the other end replied. "Wait... did you say his mom?" the voice asked suddenly. "Yes," the man confirmed. "Then change the target. The target should be his mom," the voice said, sounding pleased. "What should I do to her?" the man asked. "Kill her," the voice replied coldly. "But sir, isn’t that too much?" the man asked, frowning. "Maybe your life would be better off gone too," the voice said darkly. "Sorry, sir," the man replied quickly. Meanwhile, Zach felt his stomach grumble. He was hungry, so he stepped into a nearby restaurant. He ordered some food and sat down, lost in thought. The hype from the race was already fading, and he now had only 85 fame points. He wondered how he could continue to get famous. As he was in thought, he suddenly remembered Jane. He had really loved her, but she had hurt him in the most ruthless way possible. Zach swore that he'd rise so high that she would regret what she did to him. The basketball tournament was just around the corner, and the governor had already made it official $200,000 for grab. Student with the highest vote as the best will go home with $100,000. and the second and third persons will go home with $50,000 dollars each. And He promised $1,000 for each member of the winning team. Zach planned to meet the coach today. He knew he'd have to prove himself among some of the best basketball players in the school to get play time. After eating, Zach headed to the school’s basketball court. "Hey, Zach!" his roommate, Daniel, called out when he saw him. Daniel was also a basketball player. "Hey," Zach replied with a smile. "You blew up the internet, man. I’ve been looking for you. When did you learn to drive like that?" Daniel asked, patting Zach on the shoulder. "I used to drive for fun a few years back," Zach replied with a casual shrug. As they were talking, the entire court went quiet. The coach was here. He was tall, dark-skinned, and had a tough, no-nonsense expression. But no one was looking at him at the moment they were all staring at the girl beside him. If there were a word better than “gorgeous,” it would describe her. She was absolutely stunning. Zach recognized her from the school’s ranking of the top three most beautiful first- year students this year.. Compared to his fame, her presence was like a blazing sun. everywhere she went. She was the coach’s younger sister, Sophia. Almost every basketball player had a crush on her, but none of them dared to approach her. Her brother’s intimidating presence alone was enough to scare them off. And their family wasn’t ordinary, rumor had it that their father was a powerful politician, though no one knew for sure. "Over here, everyone!" the coach, Eric, shouted. Everyone immediately stopped what they were doing and gathered around him. Eric scanned the crowd. "The competition isn't far anymore so we will have to take our training seriously, do everyone understand?" Eric asked. Everyone nodded in affirmation. "Another thing." He paused. "If you know that you haven't been present for the past three weeks, I need you out of the hall." Eric said sternly. Zach's face fell immediately he heard those words. "This is bad."

Sophia the Coach.
“It’s okay, I’m okay,” Juliet said as she tried to comfort Zach, who didn’t look good.Zach really didn’t feel good. He couldn’t leave his mother’s side. She was all he had, and now someone was trying to hurt her.Zach could only think of one person,Tim. But would Tim really try to kill his mom just because of a fight they had at school?Or was it someone else entirely?Right now, Tim was the only person who made sense to him. And if it really was Tim, then he was in big trouble, trouble he didn’t know how to handle.“Mom, don’t leave the house for the next few days. And you really shouldn’t be moving around much even if you feel strong. You just had an accident,” Zach told her.On their way back, he bought food and everything else she would need for the next week. He wanted her to stay locked inside.“Please, call 911 immediately if anything feels wrong, and call me too.”Before leaving, Zach set up a small webcam he bought at the mall outside his mom’s apartment. He planned to watch
Three Days.
Space seemed to warp, and Zach felt everything return to normal. He quickly took out his phone to check the time and saw that exactly 30 minutes had passed. Zach felt a wave of relief. He then tried calling his mom, but even though the phone rang, no one picked up. His heart sank. What if she was already dead? Without thinking, Zach ran out of the dorm. Zach immediately called a taxi. "Where to?" the taxi driver asked as he pulled over. "15 St. Peter, near Solitary Pharmacy. Now!" Zach shouted, showing his urgency. The taxi driver sped off right away. In the car, Zach kept dialing his mom's number, but there was no response. "This is bad," Zach thought, panic rising in his chest. It didn’t take long before he arrived at the address. 15 St. Peter turned out to be a mall. It was large and busy, with people constantly going in and out. Zach scanned the area but couldn’t spot his mom. He didn’t waste time—he rushed to the receptionist and pulled out a picture of
Unknown Number.
Shock. Silence. Then cheers. "Who is this guy?" Sophia was shocked. Her brother was an NBA superstar who dominated the league multiple times before quitting to become a coach. But even in all her years, she had never seen him do what this boy just did. Daniel was shocked too. He felt like Zach had been possessed these past few days. It was like he had entered God mode. Was this the power of a breakup? Maybe he should find a girl and let her break his heart too. Eric was silent as he looked at Zach. "Congrats. You earned your place in the team," he finally said. "Thank you, coach. I won't let you down," Zach replied, happy. Just then, the system started to beep. +5 fame points +5 fame points Zach expected this. What he did was too amazing, and he might even break into the top three of the school’s 4T list today. Zach felt good now. "We will continue practice tomorrow," Eric said. "Let's go," he told Sophia. Before leaving, she looked at Zach for a long time
100 Perfect Throws.
Zach had a pale expression. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to come for practice, it was just that many things had troubled him during that period, and he didn’t even have money for food, so how would he have the strength to play basketball? The crowd of players split into two groups. What a huge number, Zach was amazed. Many were just like him, showing up only when there was something to gain. “Now kindly leave the hall for us,” Eric said with a cold voice. Zach couldn’t just leave. He needed the money, and he was also a very skilled basketball player. How could he walk away just like that? Zach knew Eric well enough to know the only way he could get on the team now was to impress him more than he could ever imagine. But Zach was unwilling to use his lucky tablets just to get on the team that he was on already. What would he use on the final day, when his skills were needed the most? “Coach, I didn’t slack off, I was just too busy to come,” Zach spoke up. Eric turned his attent

The Incredible Yellow Sports Car.
Zach stepped out of the sports car and the entire area fell silent. Everyone stared at him in disbelief. Tim had built a reputation over the past week as a tycoon in street racing and because of his skills students got to know that he even once held a draw against a world-class racer. For Zach to beat him, and with such a wide gap, was unbelievable. “Let’s race again!” Tim shouted as soon as his car finally rolled across the finish line. He felt completely humiliated. Zach smirked. He’d be a fool to race again, after all, his victory had only been possible thanks to the items from his Superstar System. “Pay up,” Zach said, stretching out his hand. “Then maybe I’ll consider it.” Tim immediately asked for Zach’s account details and transferred the money without hesitation. Zach’s phone beeped. He checked the screen and, seeing the credited amount, a huge grin spread across his face. “Let’s have a rematch!” Tim demanded. “I’ll consider it,” Zach replied coolly as he walked away.
