On Destiny
"Destiny is really nothing more than an alibi for lazy people who failed to plan their own futures, Raphael."Ethan tossed his motorcycle keys onto the old wooden table, which let out a sharp, piercing creak. The air inside the apartment was starting to smell a bit musty and felt even quieter than usual. He walked toward the window, staring at the city lights glowing like millions of electric fireflies with nowhere to call home.Raphael, who had been sitting on the bookshelf looking as relaxed as an angel who had just hit the jackpot, tossed an old audit report toward Ethan. The book skimmed past Ethan's ear and hit the floor with a heavy thud."You call it an alibi? Humans are so incredibly arrogant!" Raphael chuckled. His eyes flashed with a piercing silver light in the darkness of the room. "Have you looked at everything that happened this week? Noah went bankrupt, Erick is under investigation, and you, you suddenly get a job offer from the most elite audit firm in the country righ
On Dependency
The apartment door had just slammed shut with a heavy thud when Raphael appeared in front of the vanity mirror, trying to fix his hair which had been tousled by the wind outside. Ethan threw his backpack onto the floor and collapsed onto his worn-out foam mattress."That is insane," Ethan said. "Bolton Holdings offered me five hundred million as an upfront bonus if I agreed to 'consult' for them every month. What do they think I am? Some piece of inventory on a shelf?"Raphael gave a light laugh and snapped his fingers. A glass of ice water appeared in Ethan's hand, so cold that the room's temperature seemed to drop two degrees. "You know exactly why, Ethan. They do not care who you are. They care about the system you control. You just proved that you hold the access codes to every skeleton in Horizon Arc closet. To the wealthy, you are no longer a human being. You are a golden wrench."Ethan chugged the water until the glass was empty, then tossed the plastic cup into the trash. "But
On Victory
"So, what is victory exactly, Raphael? Does it taste like a candy bar? Or is it that rush you get when you win a lottery you didn't even enter?" Ethan tossed his dirty shirt onto the floor, his voice echoing in the apartment that had fallen silent once again. He sat on the floor, leaning against a foam mattress that was starting to sag. In front of him, a cup of instant coffee let out thin wisps of steam that danced around, searching for a way out through the vents.Raphael, who had chosen to sit on top of the fridge this time, hopped down. He didn't land gracefully, his foot clipped the dish rack, making a deafening racket. "Small-time question," Raphael said, rolling his eyes. He transformed Ethan's dull fork into an engraved silver writing tool before setting it back down. "Victory for humans is like perfume. You spray a little, it smells great. You spray a whole bottle, and you end up making everyone around you pass out from nausea."Ethan stared at the tips of his shoes, which
An Unsatisfactory Answer
"So, this is how you win? By tearing everything out by the roots?" The voice belonged to Erick Hayes, but it was no longer the voice of an authoritative director. It was the sound of a man choking on the filth of his own making. The twenty-fifth-floor boardroom of Horizon Arc Digital. had been cleared out. All that remained were the dregs of cold coffee, scattered folders, and two men separated by a chasm of integrity. Ethan sat at the end of the massive mahogany table, his phone buzzing with a notification from the police, the report had been filed and an investigation team was already en route. Ethan didn't even look toward his boss, who was gripping the edge of the table as if it were a life raft. Raphael, the angel who had been pacing across the ceiling earlier, at one point even doodling a comical version of Erick's face over the corporate portraits, finally hopped down. He stood beside Ethan, arms crossed, staring at Erick with a grin that was equally terrifying. "An unsatis
An Angel's Wrath
Ethan Gray's car was parked at a crooked angle in a no-parking zone. The engine hissed as he turned it off, venting hot steam into the City night air, which was thick with the stench of gasoline and pollution."Ridiculous!" Raphael's voice shattered the silence of the cabin. The angel was no longer sitting, he stood upright in the cramped space, his head passing right through the car's roof. His aura erupted into a deep maroon, a visual phenomenon that felt to Ethan's eyes like a contained firestorm. "You're letting this Erick character sabotage your audit, Ethan? He cut off your server access, then he bribed the IT technicians to forge the original data!"Ethan locked the car doors. He strolled casually past a group of gossiping security guards, his expression like someone who had just picked up dinner from a street vendor, not a man who had just been forcibly removed from his internal audit duties by his own boss."It's not about being sabotaged, Raphael," Ethan replied flatly, his
The Ones Who Always Win
The crystal chandeliers in the lobby of Horizon Arc Digital rattled violently as the glass doors were shoved open with a heavy thud. The person who stepped inside was the definition of gaudy wealth, a middle-aged woman wearing oversized sunglasses and a silk suit that shimmered under the lights. This was Ms.Katylin Brown, the company’s largest internal shareholder, who had just flown in from abroad. Following behind her like a terrified puppy was her personal assistant, clutching a stack of documents as thick as a pillow. The lobby fell into a deathly silence, and the office staff looked like a collection of statues. No one dared to blink, let alone speak. "Where is he? Where is the man who ruined the company’s dividend prospects for the week?" Ms. Brown voice was sharp, piercing the ears of anyone within a thirty-foot radius. Ivy wood who happened to be standing near the reception desk, reflexively pointed toward Ethan, who had just stepped out of the archives room. "There! That’s
