2026-03-30 06:11:09Leo sat on the edge of his bed, staring at the glowing screen. The strange interface still hadn’t disappeared. A moment ago, he had convinced himself it was some kind of glitch, but the screen looked too real—too organized, and too deliberate.
The words slowly faded and rearranged themselves again: [SUPREMACY SYSTEM SUCCESSFULLY ACTIVATED] [WELCOME, HOST LEO CARTER] [YOUR JOURNEY TOWARD SUPREMACY BEGINS] Leo swallowed hard. “Okay… either I’m dreaming,” he muttered, “or something very strange is happening.” The interface shifted instantly. [HOST STATUS] [NAME: LEO CARTER] [LEVEL: 1] [SUPREMACY POINTS: 0] [AVAILABLE TASKS: 1] Leo leaned forward, his brow furrowing. “Available tasks?” His heart began beating slightly faster. He slowly pressed the task icon. The screen flickered once before a new notification appeared. [TASK: FIRST FACE SLAP] [DESCRIPTION: HUMILIATE MARCUS WHITMORE IN PUBLIC] [TIME LIMIT: 24 HOURS] [REWARD: $10,000] [PENALTY FOR FAILURE: TASK REMOVAL AND SYSTEM DISAPPOINTMENT] Leo blinked several times. He read the message again, then once more to be sure. “…Humiliate Marcus?” His mind instantly replayed the brutal events from earlier that day. Marcus kneeling in front of Sarah. The diamond ring sparkling under the classroom lights. The cheers from the students. The laughter. And Leo… standing there in a ridiculous clown costume. Leo felt his chest tighten. “That guy already humiliated me once today.” He leaned back against the wall and stared at the ceiling. “So now, this System wants me to humiliate him back?” Leo looked at the screen again. [REWARD: $10,000]. Ten thousand dollars. The number alone was enough to make his head spin. Leo had worked countless delivery jobs for years; even on a good week, he barely made a few hundred dollars. But this task offered ten thousand for a single act of humiliation. Leo rubbed his temples slowly. “This can’t be real.” Still, the System interface remained steady. He decided to test something. “System,” he said quietly. [HOST INQUIRY DETECTED]. Leo’s eyes widened slightly. “You can actually respond?” Another message appeared: [SUPREMACY SYSTEM PROVIDES TASKS THAT GUIDE HOST TOWARD WEALTH, POWER, AND STATUS]. Leo stared at the words. Wealth. Power. Status. Everything he had been chasing for the past two years. Everything Sarah believed he would never achieve. Leo clenched his fists slightly. “So, humiliating Marcus is the first step?” The System responded again: [TASKS ARE DESIGNED TO BUILD HOST SUPREMACY]. Leo exhaled slowly. “Right…” He stood up and began pacing around the small room. Marcus Whitmore. Everyone on campus knew him. His father owned several large companies, he drove a luxury car, and he wore expensive clothes. Most importantly, he had influence. Students admired him, professors treated him kindly, and even Sarah had chosen him without hesitation. Leo stopped pacing. The humiliation from earlier burned in his memory. He remembered standing in the classroom while everyone laughed. He remembered Sarah’s cold voice: “You have no future.” Leo looked down at his phone again. [DESCRIPTION: HUMILIATE MARCUS WHITMORE IN PUBLIC]. Humiliate Marcus. Not fight him. Not attack him. Just humiliate him. Leo sat back down on the bed. “That’s actually possible… if I think carefully.” Marcus cared deeply about his image. He liked being admired, respected, and seen as superior. If Leo managed to embarrass him publicly, that would definitely count as humiliation. Leo began thinking through the possibilities. What if he exposed something embarrassing? Or challenged him in front of other students? Leo frowned slightly, but then another thought crossed his mind. Marcus loved showing off, especially in front of Sarah. He had clearly planned that proposal in the classroom because he enjoyed public attention. Which meant… public embarrassment would hurt him even more. Leo slowly smiled. “That might actually work.” His confidence grew. After all, the System had given him twenty-four hours. Marcus would definitely return to campus tomorrow, and Leo could easily find him. The real challenge was how to humiliate him properly. Leo looked at the screen again. [TIME LIMIT: 23:49:12]. The countdown had already started. He stood up and walked to the small window. Outside, the evening sky was slowly darkening. Streetlights flickered on one by one, and cars moved through the city as people rushed home. Life continued normally, but for Leo, everything had suddenly changed. Just one day ago, his biggest concerns had been delivery tips and grocery prices. Now, he had a strange System offering him ten thousand dollars for humiliating the richest guy on campus. Leo let out a quiet laugh. “My life has officially become weird.” He returned to the bed. “System,” he said. The interface responded in texts: [HOST COMMAND RECEIVED]. Leo hesitated for a moment, then asked the question that had been bothering him. “If I complete this task… will there be more?” The screen flashed slightly. [CONFIRMED. TASK COMPLETION LEADS TO GREATER REWARDS]. Leo felt his heartbeat quicken. Greater rewards. Ten thousand dollars was already unbelievable. What could come after that? More money? Power? Opportunities? His eyes slowly hardened with determination. For years, he had struggled just to survive, running deliveries and chasing a future that never seemed to get closer. But now, a chance had appeared. A strange one, but a chance nonetheless. Leo looked at the task once more. Marcus had taken Sarah from him. Marcus had humiliated him in front of everyone. Maybe it was time to return the favor. His mind was already forming a plan. “Alright, Marcus,” he murmured quietly. “Let’s see how confident you look tomorrow.” A faint smile appeared on his face. Because this time, Leo Carter wasn’t the clown anymore.

Chapter 95: Welcome to London
The train slowed as it pulled into London's St Pancras International Station. Through the window, Leo caught his first glimpse of the city. Modern glass buildings stood proudly beside historic brick architecture. Black taxis moved steadily through the streets, while the famous red double-decker buses rolled past the station entrance.Samuel practically pressed his face against the window. "There they are!"Leo chuckled. "The buses?""The legendary buses. I've been waiting for this."Adrian picked up his suitcase. "I never thought public transportation could excite someone this much."Samuel grinned. "You don't appreciate the little things."The station buzzed with life. Travelers hurried in every direction while announcements echoed overhead.Lena looked around with curiosity. "It feels... different."Leo nodded. "It does.""Germany felt organized and calm.""This city feels alive."As they stepped outside, a cool breeze greeted them. Towering buildings stretched into the
Chapter 94: A New city
The following morning arrived with clear skies over Munich. Leo stood by the window of his hotel room, looking out at the city one last time. Germany had given Nexus Cryptics more than he could have imagined. They had secured their first major European partnership, met some of the brightest minds in technology, and earned the respect of people who once knew nothing about the company. A knock came at his door. "Come in." Samuel walked in with a suitcase in one hand and a warm pastry in the other. Leo looked at him. "...You're eating already?" Samuel looked confused. "It's breakfast." "You ate before coming here." "I know. This is second breakfast." Leo laughed. "I don't think that's a real meal." "It is if you're hungry." Half an hour later, the four of them met in the hotel lobby. Adrian was already checking everyone out while Lena reviewed their travel documents. Samuel yawned. "I still think we should stay another week." Leo smiled. "You've changed your mind about leavin
Chapter 93: Choosing the Next Destination
The afternoon sun bathed Munich in a warm, golden glow as Leo and his friends strolled through the city's streets. The pressure of business meetings and presentations had finally eased, allowing them to enjoy Germany at a slower pace. Samuel walked a few steps ahead, holding a giant pretzel in one hand and a paper bag filled with snacks in the other. "I've made a decision," he declared proudly. Lena smiled. "Should we be worried?" "Not this time." Leo chuckled. "Let's hear it." Samuel took another bite of his pretzel before speaking. "Germany has officially entered my top three countries." "Because of the business opportunities?" Adrian asked. Samuel looked at him as if he had asked the world's strangest question. "No. The food." Adrian sighed. "I should have known. I don't understand how someone can evaluate an entire country based on its cuisine." Samuel shrugged. "I don't understand how someone can spend an entire vacation looking at spreadsheets." Lena laughed. "I'd call
Chapter 92:Doors Opening Across Europe
Morning arrived quietly over Munich. Sunlight streamed through the tall windows of the hotel, painting the room in a warm, golden glow. Unlike the previous few days, Leo didn't wake to the sound of an alarm or a System notification. Instead, he opened his eyes naturally, enjoying a rare moment of peace. He lay still for a few seconds before reaching for his phone. Several new emails had arrived overnight. Some were from companies congratulating Nexus Cryptics on securing its partnership with Jaeger Cybernetics; others were invitations to technology conferences, cybersecurity forums, and private business meetings. The Jaeger partnership had done exactly what Mr. Sterling predicted: people had started paying attention. Leo smiled. Recognition wasn't his final goal, but it was proof that Nexus Cryptics was climbing steadily. After getting dressed, he headed downstairs. The hotel restaurant was already lively. Samuel was balancing a plate stacked far too high with pancakes, eggs, saus
Chapter 91: Lesson Beyond Victory
The applause inside the demonstration hall continued long after the simulation had ended. Guests gathered around the stage, discussing the results with intense excitement. Most of the conversations centered around two names: Stephen Reinhardt and Leo Carter. For many of the attendees, it was their first time hearing about Nexus Cryptics. Now, they wouldn't forget it. As the crowd dispersed, Samuel rushed over and threw an arm around Leo's shoulders. "You almost beat him!" Leo laughed. "Almost doesn't count." "It does to me," Samuel grinned. "You're telling me one of the biggest business leaders in Europe only finished a little ahead of my friend? I'll take that as a win." Lena joined them, smiling warmly. "You were incredible." "I made plenty of mistakes," Leo admitted. "Maybe," she said, looking him dead in the eyes. "But you stayed calm the whole time." Adrian stepped forward. "The simulation exposed one important difference." Leo looked at him. "What difference?" "Chairma
Chapter 90: The Aurora Challenge
The demonstration hall was packed. Rows of seats surrounded a circular stage where several sleek virtual reality pods stood under bright lights. A large screen behind them displayed the words: 'AURORA TECHNOLOGIES' 'Prototype Demonstration – Strategic Simulation' Guests continuously filled the room until every single seat was occupied. Samuel leaned toward Leo. "I thought this was going to be a small demonstration." "So did I." Adrian scanned the room. "Most of the attendees are executives." "And investors," Lena added. "This technology must be attracting a lot of attention." A presenter walked onto the stage. "Good afternoon, everyone. My name is Emma Fischer, Lead Project Director at Aurora Technologies." She smiled at the audience. "Today, you'll witness the first public demonstration of our latest strategic simulation platform." A large image appeared behind her, showing a futuristic city connected by digital networks. "Our platform doesn't measure physical strength or r
