THE GREATEST REVENGER SYSTEM Using Her
The car rolled to a stop in front of a modest two-story house. Katarina sat silently next to Thenma, her hands fiddling with the strap of her bag. Thenma turned off the engine and unlocked the doors, leaning back against his seat. Katarina hesitated, gripping the door handle, but instead of stepping out, she closed the door and turned back. “I forgot to say... thank you for saving me,” Katarina said, her voice soft, carrying a mix of sincerity and awkwardness. Thenma shrugged nonchalantly, barely sparing her a glance. “Don’t mention it. That’s my part to help my partner.” Katarina blinked in confusion while Thenma straightened his words. “My partner in the mission.” “I want to know,” Katarina began cautiously, “what your real goal is. You seem eager to have my father on your side. But you must know, he doesn’t stand on the wrong side of things. That’s why he refused to help your case.” Thenma let out a bitter scoff, his lips curling into a wry smile. “Your father said that?”
THE GREATEST REVENGER SYSTEM Unnoticed Danger
Simon groaned as his eyes fluttered open, the dimly lit room coming into focus. He realized he was tied to a chair, his wrists bound tightly. Panic surged through him as he instinctively struggled against the restraints, but his efforts were futile. Terrified, Simon froze when he heard the sound of slow, deliberate footsteps. Thenma appeared from the shadows, his presence ominous and commanding. “Glad you woke up quickly,” Thenma said, his voice calm but chilling. Simon swallowed hard, trying to mask his fear with a facade of bravado. “What’s your problem with me? What do you want?” he demanded, though his voice wavered. Thenma’s expression darkened, his patience thin. “I’m sure you haven’t forgotten me yet. I’m here to make sure you can’t threaten Katarina anymore.” Simon’s eyes darted nervously. “What…? I have nothing to do with her anymore!” he insisted, his voice rising in a mix of fear and defiance. Thenma’s lips curled into a mocking smile. “Are you sure? Because she
THE GREATEST REVENGER SYSTEM This Is The Loser's Revenge
The cold, briny air stung Katarina’s senses as she slowly regained consciousness. A searing pain pulsed through her forehead, her vision blurred momentarily, but fragments of memory flashed in her mind—being dragged out of her house, the view of her helpless father—tied on the floor. “Dad…” she whispered hoarsely, her voice trembling with worry and fear. Her head turned frantically, taking in her surroundings. The damp, grimy floor beneath her was covered in salt stains and dirt, and the sharp odor of fish filled the air. Her heart sank as realization struck—she was in a harbor. She struggled against the coarse ropes binding her wrists, but they held firm. The sound of slow, deliberate footsteps echoed through the warehouse. A chill ran down her spine as the figure emerged from the shadows, each step exuding menace. “Ah, you’re awake,” Julian Corbin drawled, his voice as smooth as silk yet dripping with malice. He stepped into the dim light. “How’s your feeling, starlight? Can yo
THE GREATEST REVENGER SYSTEM Burn Them All
Julian, sitting on the ground with sweat trailing down his temple, turned to glance at the growing blaze. The fire clawed hungrily at the dry wood, embers flying into the cold night air. He let out a bitter laugh, more out of disbelief than amusement. “What the fuck…” he spat, his voice sharp. “You want to burn us down here?" Thenma didn’t respond. He stood rooted in place, eyes fixated on the flames as though they held answers he had been seeking for years. There was something unnerving about the calmness in his demeanor—a silence so profound it made Julian’s skin crawl. Julian rose to his knees, his instincts screaming at him to fight back or flee, but before he could fully stand, Thenma’s boot connected with his chest, sending him sprawling back to the ground. The impact forced the air from his lungs, and he groaned in pain. Towering over him like an executioner, Thenma tilted his head, his dark eyes cold and hollow. Julian tried to meet his gaze but found it unbearable. “
THE GREATEST REVENGER SYSTEM The First Arc Quest: Completed!
The warehouse was an inferno, the air thick with smoke and heat as the fire consumed everything in its path. Thenma's body trembled, his blood pooling on the floor beneath him. His vision blurred as his consciousness wavered, the knife embedded in his shoulder burning like molten steel. [WARNING: Life-threatening injury detected. Immediate action required.] [Purchase defensive weapon (20 points)?] [Activate self-healing mode (10 points)?] But Thenma's fading consciousness made it impossible to focus. His trembling gaze looking over the options as the panel glitched, the words distorting and disappearing before he could make a choice. No, not now... I can't lose here... Suddenly, a loud crack echoed through the warehouse. Julian staggered, clutching his head as a wooden stick struck him from behind. His eyes widened in pain and confusion, his grip on the knife loosening. "What the—" Julian hissed, stumbling backward. Thenma blinked through the haze of pain, his gaze lock
THE GREATEST REVENGER SYSTEM A Glimpse of Victory
Thenma’s eyes fluttered open, his head heavy as if weighed down by a thousand thoughts. Bright, sterile lights illuminated the room, and the distant hum of machinery filled the silence. The faint beeping of a heart monitor confirmed he was in a hospital.He tried to sit up, but his body protested. Pain radiated from his shoulder and torso, forcing him to settle back against the pillow. His mind raced as he struggled to piece together the events that led him here.Then it hit him—the warehouse, the fire, Julian.The memory of their brutal fight resurfaced, and a wave of satisfaction washed over him. He recalled Julian’s screams, the look of desperation on his face as Thenma delivered the final blow. For the first time in a long while, Thenma felt victorious.One of them. One of the bastards who ruined Adeline’s life had fallen.A lump formed in his throat. The victory wasn’t just for him—it was for her. For Adeline, his sister, who had endured more than anyone should. He clenched his f
THE GREATEST REVENGER SYSTEM Adeline Is Awake
The hallway stretched before Thenma, sterile and dimly lit, each step echoing softly against the polished floor. His shoulder throbbed with every movement, the pain radiating through his body like a relentless reminder of the fight he had barely survived. His legs felt heavy, his breaths labored, but none of it mattered. Not now. Not when Adeline was finally awake.His fingers gripped the wall for support as he paused to steady himself, his mind racing with a mix of anticipation and relief. He pushed forward again, determined. The thought of seeing her after all these months fueled him, dulled the pain, and gave him the strength to continue.Finally, he reached the door. The plaque outside read ICU Room 14. Thenma hesitated for a brief moment, his heart pounding against his ribcage. He took a deep breath, clenched his fists to steel himself, and pushed the door open.The sight before him stopped him cold.Katarina was sitting beside Adeline’s bed, her figure silhouetted against the di
THE GREATEST REVENGER SYSTEM No Face, No Shame
Thenma was taken aback by the sudden arrival of Penelope and Kato. They stood at the doorway, looking at him and Adeline with smug smiles. Their presence exuded an oppressive threat-if not for him, then it was undoubtedly magnified for Adeline.Holding a beautiful bouquet of flowers, Penelope stepped forward. "Sorry it took me so long to visit you, Adeline. I didn't think you'd go to such extremes. But because of that, I see now-you've learned our lesson well."Adeline froze, her face pale, her eyes wide with fear. The usually brave Adeline now looked like a drenched, helpless chick. Thenma grabbed Penelope and pulled her aside, his gaze burning with anger."How dare you... Have you no shame?" His voice was laced with menace and hatred. He couldn't believe Penelope and Kato had the audacity to show their faces in front of Adeline-the very reason she was in this state.But Penelope, unbothered, brushed his hand off."I'm just checking in, damn it. Why are you being such a pain? Kato br

The Best One
The weight of Litch’s words hung heavily in the air, oppressive and suffocating. Thenma stood there, his thoughts swirling like a storm inside his mind, threatening to drown him. He could feel the tension in his muscles, the urge to lash out and take action, but he knew better than to let his emotions dictate his next move. In moments like these, impulsivity was a luxury he couldn’t afford. Litch was too dangerous, too calculating, and it was clear now more than ever that there was much more at play than Thenma had first imagined.As the man in front of him continued to speak, his voice a mix of arrogance and contempt, Thenma’s thoughts began to drift back to the one thing he hadn’t been able to shake. The nagging feeling that something—no, someone—was missing from the story. He’d been so caught up in the pursuit of the truth, so driven by the need to uncover the machinations behind Verona Lounge and the women who had been subjected to these cruel experiments, that he had failed to se
Verona Lounge Deepest Secret
Verona Lounge had always been a place of mystery and allure, its velvet-draped walls and dim, intimate lighting drawing in both the city’s elite and those seeking something darker. The low hum of chatter mixed with the soft jazz music played in the background, giving the lounge an air of seductive secrecy. For most, it was just a night out—a drink, a dance, a few hours of escape from the world. For Thenma, however, the air was thick with something far more sinister. Something that could unravel everything he thought he knew.He sat at a corner booth, the smooth surface of the table cool under his fingertips, his eyes scanning the room. His thoughts were fragmented, like shards of glass piercing through the fog of his mind. He had come here for answers, though he hadn’t quite realized it when he entered. But now, as the minutes ticked by, and the murmur of conversations swirled around him, he began to connect the dots in ways he hadn’t before.There was something off about the women he
Suffocating Struggle
The silence that followed the voice’s chilling words was suffocating. Thenma’s pulse quickened, his senses sharpening as the darkness seemed to press in around them. The photograph in his hand trembled ever so slightly, his eyes still locked on the blurry figure. The uncertainty of the moment gnawed at him — the feeling that something monumental was about to unfold, something he was not prepared for. The words “Not who you think” echoed in his mind, and he couldn’t shake the sense that this was just the beginning of something far more dangerous than he could have anticipated.Collin stood frozen, still by the door, his eyes darting around the room as if trying to find the source of the voice. But there was nothing. No one in sight. The air seemed to vibrate with a strange energy, thick with the weight of impending danger.“Who was that?” Collin asked, his voice low and tense. He took a step forward, closing the distance between himself and Thenma, his hand resting near the gun holster
Total Chaos
The drive to Anony was a blur, the city lights outside the car window nothing more than streaks of yellow and red as Collin sped through the streets. Thenma sat in the passenger seat, his eyes fixed on the road ahead, his mind racing. Every second that ticked by brought them closer to a destination that seemed more like a trap than a safe haven. He had a nagging feeling that something far more insidious than what they had already faced was waiting for them in Anony, but what? And why was it that every time they made progress, a new door opened, revealing more danger, more secrets?“Hold on,” Collin muttered under his breath as they hit a sharp turn, tires screeching as the car leaned into the curve. “You still sure about this?”“Yeah,” Thenma replied, his voice steady, though his gut churned with unease. “We have to know what happened at the Highlife apartment. It’s all connected.”Collin didn’t respond. The tension between them hung in the air, thick and oppressive. They had been thr
Play The Fire
The shot echoed, a singular sound that seemed to stretch through the air, freezing everything in its wake. Thenma’s heart skipped a beat as the world seemed to slow, the darkness of the night thickening around them. Time itself held its breath.Edward Montgomery’s expression remained unchanged. He stood there, too still for comfort, his hands resting casually in his pockets. But his eyes — they were cold, calculating, predatory. He knew exactly what was happening, and in some sick way, he was enjoying it. The corners of his mouth curled into that same thin smile, one that had become far too familiar.Thenma’s instincts were razor-sharp, his mind already calculating his next move. But the hesitation lingered. The shot had come from somewhere — from a direction he hadn’t expected. It had been too quick, too precise, and too clean.“Who—?” Thenma began, his voice tight, but the words died in his throat as he scanned the scene. His eyes darted to Collin, who stood just a few steps behind,
No Time To Die
The city peeled away behind them in a blur of dying neon and fractured asphalt. Thenma gripped the passenger side door as Collin wrestled the battered sedan through a sharp turn, tires screeching in protest. Reve’s map flickered across Thenma’s phone, the signal weakening with every heartbeat, a desperate thread of hope unraveling into static."You sure this is right?" Collin asked without glancing away from the road, his jaw set with grim focus.Thenma didn’t answer immediately. His eyes scanned the data, piecing together the broken coordinates, the erratic timestamps. Every instinct he had screamed that they were cutting it dangerously close — that Joey was slipping further beyond reach with each mile they lost."I’m sure enough," he said finally, voice clipped.Collin exhaled through his teeth, muttering under his breath. "God help us."The industrial district sprawled before them like a graveyard. Hollowed factories and abandoned shipping yards sprawled in every direction, shadows
Not Afraid
Atop the Highlife Tower, where the city lights dulled into a distant, worthless smear against the smoked glass, Edward Montgomery stood at the head of a polished mahogany table, his reflection warped and twisted across its surface. The conference room was silent but for the faint hum of machinery hidden in the walls — state-of-the-art security, bulletproof windows, a fortress disguised as opulence.The men seated around him were not businessmen. Not truly. They wore suits, yes, and silk ties, and watches that cost more than a middle-class salary, but beneath the fabric, they were wolves. Predators with polished smiles and bloodstained hands.Edward let the silence stretch, savoring the discomfort it bred.Fear was a useful seasoning. It made men pliable.Finally, he spoke, voice calm, measured — almost amused."Joey Douglas..." He drew out the name as if tasting it, savoring the bitterness. "A minor inconvenience, but one that required addressing."A murmur rippled through the room, n
Mercy
The safehouse walls, once solid and reassuring in their industrial bleakness, now seemed paper-thin as the wail of sirens grew louder, sharper, splitting the night air into shreds of dread.Each second ticked like a hammer inside Thenma's skull.Collin ripped the flash drive from the terminal and tossed it toward Thenma, who caught it with instinctive precision. Without a word, he shoved it into the inner pocket of his jacket, pressing it close to his chest like a talisman — or a timebomb."They must've been tracing the second Joey uploaded these files," Collin said, breathless, wiping his hands on his jeans as he paced back toward the main door. "Goddamn amateurs. They set the alarms off the moment they opened the drive.""Doesn't matter now," Thenma snapped. His eyes darted to the high, grimy windows above. "We need to move."[Reve: Hostiles estimated within 90 meters. Multiple vehicles. Two, possibly three squads.]The system’s emotionless voice cut through the chaos, threading int
Love and Faith Guides You
The minutes dragged like leaden weights in the frozen dark, each second hammering against Thenma’s nerves.The silence around them felt unnatural — too still, too hollow — as if the East Yard itself had been emptied of life, leaving only the scent of rust and death behind.Beside him, Joey Douglas slipped further into unconsciousness. His breaths were shallow now, rattling like broken glass in his chest. Blood darkened the torn fabric at his ribs, stark against the pale glint of streetlight slicing through the gaps between containers.[Reve: Immediate stabilization required. Risk of organ failure at 73%.]"Hold on," Thenma muttered under his breath, wiping a slick of cold sweat from his brow. His mind raced.Collin was fast, but even he couldn’t perform miracles if they were pinned down before extraction.They needed to move — or disappear.The blinking fragment of Lily's image burned in the corner of his vision.It wasn’t just random.It was a message.Or a warning.Thenma gritted hi
