Cold King
THOMAS.From the balcony of my $19m penthouse, the city was a silent glittering carpet stretched out below me.The tall buildings of New York city were only dark shapes against a foggy sky and the endless headlights on the road.The air had changed, becoming clean still and filtered. The air was that of someone who had finally clawed their way to the top and it cost a fortune to breathe. That someone was me. I got in through the sliding glass door and Caleb was sitting before the new laptop I had gotten him, his mouth wide open.His voice was raspy with emotion as he whispered, “ Bro. . “After a while he was able to look up from the screen and at me. “Is this real? For real, for real, real?” he blinked. “Caleb, it's real. All the last cent of it.” I approached and settled myself in the big armchair across from him. Under my weight the expensive leather sighed. “Use it, construct your own project. Do you remember our conversation about the future in that one-room apartment in do
Silent King
THOMAS I turned away and didn't want to answer but my phone buzzed once more but this time it wasn't your typical alert. It felt real, urgent and different. It displayed Zaria as the caller ID again .“Thomas Salazar speaking.”I answered. She spoke in a quick smooth voice before I could respond. “Sorry for disturbing your evening, sir but please pay attention. I am aware that other people are calling you. “I squinted. “Nobody is—”“The talent scouts are circling, I know that. But first Allure Media wants you. We'll give you complete creative control, a massive marketing campaign and a million-dollar contract. Even your own fashion line will be given to you. This is our offer.”My brows went up. “Zaria. Do you know what you are saying? I'm still considering —”A slight pause.“$4million that's what we would offer, our brand needs you.”Another call from an unknown number came in as if on cue. Important figures in the media industry sent two more texts after that. I knew what neede
Aura Of Dominance
THOMASMy phone flashed gold on the screen. Previously, it was a soothing practical blue and white, but now, my system's entire interface was now aggressively redesigned with chrome and black edges accentuated by pulsating golden trim. The design was elegant. Strong and intimidating. It appeared as if it belonged to someone else. ~ SYSTEM UPGRADED: UNLOCKED IN STEALTH LEGACY MODE. ~ ~ Welcome to AURA OF DOMINANCE. ~ ~Goal: Move through the city as if you own it.~ The remaining introductory prompts didn't need to be read. A low-frequency hum was already vibrating deep within my sternum. We got down before a restaurant which had an open space at the front. The air here felt so warm and nice My face was drenched again in luxurious golden light as my screen pulsed once more. ~ REWARD ACQUIRED. - $100000 (immediately transferred to a fresh anonymous offshore account). – Complete “Night Wolf” Clothing Line (Equipped). Steeze Points: +100. - City-Level Icon (Emerging) is the social
Pizza King
THOMAS The bell over the door jingled. The tinny, depressing chime that used to make fun of my life whenever I arrived late for work was gone. It was broken, worn out and completely undetectable. There were still a lot of things here which remained unchanged though. My old misery was perfectly captured in the shop which looked exactly the same. The oily Formica counter smoothed by countless transactions that never happened to me. A Family Special that hadn't changed in ten years was still advertised on the faded sun-bleached menu signs and that smell too. The unavoidable oily scent of stale oregano, cheap tomato paste and burnt crust used to stick to my uniform like a second skin. I remembered one of my friends would wrinkle his nose and said I smelled like failure when I got home. I was different though and that made everything feel different. Instead of being heavy with desperation, the air felt charged with possibilities. The boy who had to smile while cleaning up othe
A Game of Power Chapter
When I left the hotel, the streets were silent and the cool night air felt like a second skin. I quickly inhaled it to calm my nerves.As Isabella's words were still ringing in my head I gripped the folder she had given me more tightly.Enemies are drawn to power. The usual hum of notifications had given way to an uncomfortable silence on the system. That was not consoling. To put it another way, it was like the quiet before a storm.I took some time to get home. My mind was racing as I strolled through the city's streets instead. Isabella's offer was alluring—almost alluring. However, I kept thinking that there would be conditions attached to accepting it, hazardous strings.And I wouldn't want that though.I paused at a 24-hour diner, drawn in by the aroma of grease and coffee. Except for a waitress who appeared to have seen better days and a couple of truckers at the counter, the place was largely deserted. I slid into a booth looked at the folder on the table and ordered a
Something Inviting
I leaned on the balcony railing and let the sounds of the gala fade into the distance, feeling the cool night air as if it were a slap in the face Below me, the city glistened like a sea of diamonds and I let myself take in its strength, promise and potential for a brief moment. But I kept thinking about the system's final caution: * Enemies are attracted to power. Be ready. * Enemies? That sounded absurd. I was just a man trying to push my way through this crazy system that kept presenting me with chances that would change my life. But the tension in my chest would not go away. As I continued to ponder the mysterious message, a quiet voice interrupted me." You appear to be a man who is always preoccupied."I turned around sharply. With an unreadable smile on her face and a glass of champagne in her hand, Isabella English was walking out onto the balcony I briefly lost consciousness as I stared at her gown glistening in the moonlight. She looked around the city leaning aga
