William hands shook in disbelief as he brought it towards the (+) behind the [[ Strength ]] tab.[ You added 2 Wealth Points to Strength ][ Strength: 2 ]Immediately William felt a sharp pain as though his body was been stabbed by a thousand needle.After a few seconds the pain disappeared and a new found power appeared.William stood there staring at his hands that was somehow filled with power."Is this really happening? Maybe not, I think I sipped alcohol last night and it is affecting me now."He pondered loudly as he made his way towards the wardrobe in the room.He placed one hand under and one hand behind it and applied strength.SHRUU!The wardrobe actually left the floor!"It worked!" He yelled out in disbelief, "It took four muscular guards to take this wardrobe in, but yet, I was able to lift it off the ground."Learning about the authenticity of the system made his eyes widen in shock!"I just have to spend this money and I'll be powerful enough to stand up to those who erred against me and prove to the storm family, that I am not useless."William felt emotional at this moment, because of his weakness, his wife has had to go through lot of negative treatments in the hands of her loved ones.Soon, Clarissa walked into the room with a sad look on her face, at this moment, William was already on the bed, pretending to be asleep. When he heard the door open, he opened his eyes and looked at Clarissa lovingly.Clarissa walked up to the bed and sat beside him, a sad look displaying on her face."What happened, what did she say to you?" He asked her."Don't worry William, you shouldn't be worrying about anything right now, just get healed alright.""Clarissa, even if I am on the verge of dying, you should know that I would still be ready to listen to anything you have to say."Clarissa heart felt better at his words, "Grandma is serious now, she wants me to divorce you as soon as possible and marry another man she arranged a marriage with or...""Or what? Please tell me everything, let me see if I can help.""Or sign a 20 million contract with Starkcom."Even though William isn't someone actively in the business circle, he is still aware of the prowess of Starkcom. They are one of the biggest financial group in the continent and currently the biggest in Astoria, the country they live in.One must be extremely popular and wealthy in order to gain the attention of such a big firm.The storm family might be big and wealthy, but compared to Starkcom, they are nothing.'In the past, it would be impossible for me to help with such an affair but now, I can make it happen with this amount of money I have, I'll definitely help you Clarissa.'However, William wanted to know what was on her mind."Clarissa, it is impossible to get a contract with Starkcom at this point and divorcing me is just a signature away.""Umm?" Clarissa did not understand why hs spoke like that."I know that you would do anything just to be with me, however, at this point in time, there is nothing you can. Don't worry, I would sign the divorce agreement if you want to.""William! Don't say that, I am not going to sign any stupid divorce letter, my marriage is not a business that can be called off anytime. I am waiting for the secretary to prepare the contract, I would try my luck and if it doesn't work, I don't mind getting kicked out of the storm family."William smiled at her reply, he arched his upper torso forward and wrapped his hands around her neck drawing her closer."It would be fine, Starkcom are not gods but mere humans, signing a contract shouldn't be impossible as long as the deal benefits them."Clarissa nodded her head and brought her body closer to his, enjoying his warmth."When exactly do you plan to bring the contract to Starkcom.""Two days from now, why are you asking?""Nothing actually, I just wanna know when."Carissa nodded, after a few minutes, she fell asleep. The issues with her family was indeed tiring.'She looks so beautiful even when she sleeps. Can't believe the Storm family would make such a queen hurtful because of me, I'm going to change that soon.'

The world had changed, but it was slowly mending. The scars left by the apocalypse were deep, and the memories of those harrowing days would never truly fade, but humanity was resilient. Two weeks had passed since the hunters had emerged victorious from the Death Tower, and in that short time, the earth had already begun to heal.The sky was a clear blue, the clouds soft and white, drifting peacefully above a world that had been plunged into darkness for so long. The air, once thick with the stench of decay and the virus that had plagued humanity, was now clean and fresh, a reminder of the life that had been restored. Birds, absent during the apocalypse, had returned, their songs filling the air with a sense of normalcy that had been absent for far too long.The government, once crippled by the chaos, had reestablished itself. Leaders who had survived the ordeal stepped forward, determined to rebuild the world that had been nearly destroyed. They worked tirelessly, organizing effo

William blinked as the light surrounding him began to fade, the familiar, comforting warmth of reality returning to him.The oppressive darkness and twisted landscape were gone, replaced by the cool air and the solid ground beneath his feet.He felt the weight of exhaustion settle over him, but with it came a profound sense of relief. He had won.As his vision cleared, William found himself standing at the entrance of the Death Tower, the same place where their perilous journey had begun. He wasn’t alone. Around him, the surviving hunters appeared, emerging from their own battles, their faces a mixture of disbelief, exhaustion, and profound relief.They were fewer in number—much fewer. What had once been a group of sixty had been reduced to a small, ragged handful. They looked at each other, their eyes wide with surprise and then, slowly, with growing joy as they realized what had happened. They had survived. They had made it out alive.Carson was the first to speak, his voice hoars

William stared at the figure before him, his mind racing as he tried to make sense of the twisted reflection standing just a few paces away. The smirk on the doppelganger's face was chilling, filled with an arrogance and darkness that William recognized but had never embraced himself. This was not just a reflection; it was something far more sinister. "Who are you?" William demanded, his voice steady, though the unease gnawed at him. "Why do you look like me?" The doppelganger tilted its head slightly, the smirk widening. "I am the Dark One," it said, its voice a distorted echo of William's own. "The force behind the apocalypse, the one who brought chaos and ruin to your world." William’s eyes widened in shock, and then narrowed in anger. "You... You’re the one who unleashed the zombies, who turned the world into a living nightmare?" His grip tightened on his sword, the blade beginning to glow faintly with the power of his blood magic. "Why? Why would you do something so monstrous?

After venturing into the portal, the fate of all the hunters were left in their own hands. Each of them were sent to a new world to face a different challenge. A large numbers of the hunters died the moment they appeared!Some fought with their last bits of strengths, the zeal to survive pushing them further. Nevertheless most of them were unable to wrestle against their own fate. Some like Carson and Gregor survived. A lot faced unfortunate deaths, their fates ended! This was the job of the death tower after all. ....Mark found himself standing in a desolate wasteland, the ground cracked and barren, with jagged rocks jutting out of the earth like broken teeth. The sky above was a swirling mass of dark clouds, and the air was thick with the smell of sulfur. There was no sign of life, no movement, only the oppressive silence of a world that had been long abandoned."Where am I?" Mark muttered to himself, his hand instinctively reaching for the hilt of his sword. He looked aroun

Gregor awoke to a world of fire and smoke. The ground beneath him was hot, the air thick with ash and the smell of burning flesh. He groaned as he pushed himself to his feet, his body aching from the strain of the previous battles. But as he looked around, he realized that he was alone.“Carson? William?” he called out, but his voice was swallowed by the roar of the flames that surrounded him.He was standing in the middle of a volcanic wasteland, the ground cracked and scorched, with rivers of molten lava flowing through the fissures. The sky above was a dark, stormy gray, with ash and embers swirling in the air like a deadly blizzard. In the distance, he could see massive volcanic peaks, their slopes glowing with the intense heat of the lava flows.There was no sign of his comrades, no trace of the others who had fought by his side. Gregor clenched his fists, his mind racing as he tried to make sense of the situation. “Where am I? What is this place?”But there was no time for a

As the hunters leaped into the light, they felt a sudden, jarring sensation as if the very fabric of reality had shifted around them. The blinding brightness enveloped them, and for a moment, it felt as though they were floating in an endless void. But then, just as quickly, the sensation ended, and they found themselves standing on solid ground once more.The light receded, and with it, the warmth that had surrounded them. Each of them opened their eyes to a new reality—one that was far from the serene landscape they had glimpsed before. Instead, they were plunged into separate worlds, each one a twisted, chaotic reflection of the challenges they had already faced. And worst of all, they were alone.Carson blinked, trying to make sense of his surroundings. He was standing in a dense forest, but it was unlike any forest he had ever seen. The trees were gnarled and twisted, their branches clawing at the sky like skeletal fingers. The air was thick with the stench of decay, and the
