Revenge System: From Betrayal to Pinnacle of Glory

Chapter 2 ~ The First Mission

"Do I really have to trust this system?" Rafael murmured, still uncertain in his heart. 

But there was no choice but to try it. He then read the system’s instructions again. 

The first step suggested by the system was to gather more evidence to destroy Elias's credibility at Mauve Corporation. 

The system displayed a mission option: “Access Elias's secret documents.” On his phone screen, a step-by-step guide appeared, including the password Elias used to access his personal account on the company device. 

Rafael was stunned by the detail. "Where did the system get all this?" he thought, both amazed and confused. 

However, he knew that the answer to that question wasn’t as important as his current goal: to regain his dignity and get revenge for the betrayal he had just experienced. 

With the help of the system, Rafael sneaked into his old laptop, which still had limited access to Mauve Corporation’s server. He followed the system’s instructions, and within minutes, his laptop screen was filled with suspicious documents showing Elias’s dark schemes—the embezzlement of funds that Elias had carried out, using Rafael’s name as a scapegoat. 

Rafael read each document carefully, his anger and determination burning hotter in his chest. "So this is how you set me up, Elias? Alright, let the game begin." 

"But is this really concrete?" Rafael muttered. 

He stared at the documents with furrowed brows. Although the information from the system seemed incredibly accurate, he knew that this evidence wasn't strong enough to bring Elias down. The documents had to be verified to ensure that there were no loopholes for Elias to escape. 

"System, what should I do next?" he asked, typing on the interface. 

The screen on his phone flickered, displaying a new message: 

“Next step: Find a witness or supporting data. Physical archive location: Mauve Corporation’s archive room, code cabinet E-23.” 

Rafael sighed deeply. He understood that returning to Mauve’s office was a risky move, but it was the only way to ensure that all the data was valid. 

"Alright, I'll do it," he muttered. 

That night, Rafael carefully planned his move. He would sneak into the Mauve office once everyone had left. The system provided him with a building layout, including the locations of security cameras and safe routes to enter without being detected. 

When night fell, Rafael prepared in all-black clothing and carried whatever equipment he might need, knowing he had to move cautiously. 

With his phone in hand, providing real-time instructions, he successfully entered the building without triggering any alarms. 

"Wow... this system is really sophisticated. It even knows everything, so cool. I don’t have to figure anything out," Rafael said, impressed by the incredible system. 

Rafael moved quietly, his eyes scanning the surroundings as per the instructions on his phone. The system displayed the Mauve office layout with green indicators marking safe paths free from surveillance cameras. 

Several times, he paused at hallway corners to ensure there were no patrolling security officers. 

"It’s like I’m playing a stealth game," Rafael muttered with a faint smile, although his heart was still pounding. 

After what felt like hours, Rafael reached the archive room. The reinforced door looked sturdy, but the system quickly provided guidance on how to open it. 

“Use code: 98765. Press the green button on the right.” 

“Cool... it really knows everything,” Rafael said, thoroughly impressed with the system. 

He followed the instructions. As the door clicked open, he felt both relieved and further amazed by the system’s capabilities. 

“This is more than just technology,” he thought. 

Upon entering, Rafael immediately searched for the cabinet with code E-23. In the dim light, he saw rows of documents and archives neatly organized. After finding the right cabinet, the system guided him on how to open its mechanical combination lock. 

When the cabinet door opened, Rafael froze. Inside, there were physical documents, transaction reports, and internal notes that directly confirmed Elias’s embezzlement scheme. All of them bore Elias’s name and original signature, clear and indisputable. 

"This is it!" Rafael hissed triumphantly. He took photos of every document with his phone’s camera, making sure not to miss a single one. 

However, as he was photographing the last document, the system issued a warning. 

“Warning: Activity detected near your location. Hide immediately.” 

Rafael’s breath caught in his throat. He turned off the small light on his phone and carefully closed the cabinet door. Footsteps echoed closer down the corridor. Rafael quickly hid behind a large shelf, holding his breath and preparing for the worst. 

“Is someone here?” a deep voice called from the door. A shadow slowly entered the room. 

Rafael bit his lip, trying to stay calm while searching for a way to escape without being detected. 

A security guard walked in, shining a flashlight across the entire archive room. 

Rafael held his breath, his body frozen behind the large shelf. The flashlight moved slowly, shining on shelf after shelf, getting closer to his hiding spot. Cold sweat began to bead on his temples, and he struggled to make no sound whatsoever. 

“Who’s there?” the security guard asked again, his voice cautious. His footsteps grew closer, just a few meters from Rafael’s position. 

The system on his phone vibrated softly, displaying a new message: 

“Distraction available. Activate?” 

Rafael quickly tapped “Yes” without thinking. In seconds, the sound of a false alarm rang from the other end of the corridor. The security guard immediately reacted, turning his body toward the door. 

“What’s that?” he muttered, quickly walking out of the archive room, his flashlight still directed forward. 

Once the guard’s footsteps faded, Rafael let out a sigh of relief. He knew he didn’t have much time before someone realized the alarm was a fake. He quickly finished photographing the last document, then locked the cabinet and made sure everything looked as it was. 

The system provided a safer exit route, avoiding cameras and the potential encounter with other security officers. Rafael followed the guidance carefully, eventually managing to leave the building without further incident. 

In his old car, Rafael exhaled deeply as he stared at the phone screen. The documents were now neatly stored in his photo gallery, and a new message from the system appeared: 

“Congratulations... You have completed your first mission. Fifty million dollars have been transferred to your personal account.” 

Rafael stared at the screen with wide eyes. The amount displayed in his personal bank account was truly incredible. 

“Is this real?” he thought, in disbelief. 

He rubbed his face, trying to convince himself. "This isn’t a dream, this is really happening. Fifty million dollars?”
