"Thanks for your patronage, we hope your wife likes it." A lady smiled as she gave a handsome young man in his early twenties a small red box.

"I'm not married yet," The young man smiled embarrassed as he collected the box from the lady.

"Oh, I'm sorry, or perhaps you're giving it to your girlfriend." The lady apologized as she continued.

"Yes, I want to propose to her today," The young man nodded with a smile.

"I wish I could have been there to support you." The lady smiled.

The young man nodded with a smile and walked out of the store hurriedly, got an old bike which was parked just right outside the store, and drove away whistling.

Soon, he went to an apartment and parked his bike; Jasper frowned as he looked around, wondering where the luxurious car parked beside his apartment came from.

"Hey stop there!" A hoarse voice came just as Jasper was about to walk into his apartment.

"What's wrong?" Jasper frowned, looking at the two bulky men who stood guard in front of the door.

"You can't go in." One of the men said.

"Can't go in?" Jasper replied, looking confused.

"Yes, you can't go in."  The man replied.

"But this is my apartment, not someone else's." Jasper continued, confusion written on his face.

"We don't care about that; all we have to do is stop you from entering; our boss ordered us not to allow anyone in." The man sneered.

"And how's that my business?" Jasper frowned.

"You should get the heck out of my face and let me in." Jasper snapped.

"We are sorry, but we can't do that." The men shook their heads and showed no sign of moving.

"Get the heck out of my way!" Jasper roared as he rushed towards the two men, not caring about anything else.

"Who the heck is shouting so loudly? Don't you know not to disturb me?" An angry voice came as the door of the apartment was swung open, revealing a man bare-chested.

"Who the heck are you, and what the heck are you doing at my apartment?" Jasper roared at the man.

"Baby, who's that yelling?" A feminine voice came as a figure walked out of the inner room toward the door in slightly scanty clothes.

"Amelia...." Jasper froze as he shuttered, seeing the figure.

"Oh Jasper, it's you," Amelia said plainly as she looked at Jasper, the disgust in her eyes was evident.

"What..what is..is he doing here?" Jasper shuttered as he pointed at the man.

"Don't tell me it's what I'm thinking...."

"What kind of dumb question are you asking?" Amelia snapped.

"What would a man and a woman be doing all alone inside a room? Staring at themselves? Or what the heck do you expect?"

"But...but I...I thought we loved each other, and you promised never to leave me..." Jasper stuttered, his eyes red.

"Hmph!" Amelia sneered.

"Do you think I have all year to waste? What have you ever got for me? You can't even afford to get me a set of jewelry, or even the bags and clothes I wanted, and yet you want me to stay with you?"

"You must be high right from the start; that's why you dared to think of such," Amelia snapped.

"But, I tried my best, I did all I could to make you happy...." Jasper shuttered as his voice cracked.

"Did you do the best you could?" Amelia laughed, "I'm sorry, but I didn't see that."

"Are you going to do this, Amelia?" Jasper looked at Amelia, as the last glimpse of hope in his heart flickered.

For the past two years, he had engaged in all sorts of odd jobs just to satisfy her. Working tirelessly so that he would satisfy her.

"I'm sorry, but you've been living in a fantasy world all this while, it's time for you to come back to the real world." Amelia sneered.

At that moment, Jasper felt the last flicker of hope in his heart extinguished after hearing what Amelia said.

"Boy, you've been unlucky; your girl tastes delicious; I bet you've never had a taste of her, right?" The man by Amelia's side suddenly grinned as he grabbed Amelia closer and performed some obscene act on her.

"Amelia..."

"Don't even ask," Amelia interrupted Jasper coldly.

"But..." Jasper shuttered, not knowing what to say. For the past two years, Amelia had told him that she wanted to wait till marriage.

As the gentleman he was, he decided to respect her decision, but then it turned out that he was being made a fool of. She was never pure in the first place.

He had been swimming in an ocean of lies, believing his future wife was pure and was just waiting for him. It seemed like he had been made a fool after all the efforts he had put into nurturing everything.

"Boy, you don't deserve to have someone as beautiful as her, you're not worthy of her." The man sneered.

"You...." Jasper gritted his teeth as he looked at the man.

"What are you going to do, huh?" The man sneered as he looked at Jasper with a smirk.

"I'll kill you..." Jasper suddenly lost it all and rushed toward the man.

Immediately, the two bulky men stepped forward and dragged Jasper back, holding him firmly.

"Break his limbs and throw him out onto the streets," the man ordered, closing the door.

The next moment, Jasper's screams were heard as the men beat him up mercilessly before proceeding to break his limbs.

After making sure he was in a half-death situation, the two men then proceeded to throw him out onto the streets.

At this moment, Jasper was in a miserable state as his consciousness flickered. Before he could lose consciousness, he heard a voice in his head.

"Ding!"

"Conditions for Activating System met."

"Error in Activating System."

"Commencing automatic recovery. The host should hold on."

A series of voices rang in his head, and the next moment, he felt the pain in his body stimulated and, before long, lost consciousness.

  • Stalemate

    The fight began faster than most people expected. Bai Zhe stepped forward first. The girl stepped forward too. No one said anything. They both just stared at each other, waiting for the other to move.Jasper sat with the others. He leaned back. “This one might take a while,” he said.Bai Zhe shifted his feet. The girl did the same. She kept her eyes on him. He didn’t blink.“Ready?” she said.“Yeah,” Bai Zhe replied.The referee raised his hand. “Begin!”Bai Zhe rushed in. She blocked instantly. Their fists collided. They both paused for a second from the impact. She swung at him, but he bent back and avoided it. He tried to sweep her legs, but she jumped. She tried to kick him when she landed. He caught her leg. She twisted out of his grip.They both stepped back again.“Not bad,” Bai Zhe said.“You too,” she said.He charged again. She met him halfway. Their fists kept meeting. Every punch sounded heavy. The crowd got louder. Some people already stood up.Bai Zhe tried to grab her a

  • Long Day

    Dinner that night was quiet in a way that felt heavier than any argument. Everyone sat around the table, eating slowly, each of them lost in their own thoughts. No one seemed eager to speak. Even Bai Zhe, who always had something to say, kept his gaze on his bowl.Jasper sat at the end. His posture was straight, his expression unreadable. He didn’t say much either. He only observed them, and the room itself, as though he was filing everything away in his head.One of the men who had lost twice cleared his throat. “Long day,” he muttered.Bai Zhe nodded. “Very long.”The girl sat two seats away. She poked lightly at her food. Her hand was steady enough, though Jasper noticed the slight tension in her shoulders.“You should eat,” Jasper said.She looked at him for a moment, then nodded and took a small bite.Another one of the men sighed. “Tomorrow will be worse.”“It won’t be worse,” Bai Zhe said. “It’ll just be annoying.”The man huffed quietly. “Same thing.”No one laughed, though a

  • You fought good

    The clock kept ticking on the wall, each minute dragging a little longer than it should. Everyone in the arena seemed tired. Even the crowd sounded drained. After the last match ended, the referee finally raised his hand and spoke loudly enough for the room to hear.“That’s all for today. We continue tomorrow.”A few people sighed in relief. Some clapped weakly. A couple of the fighters just walked off without waiting for anything else. It had been a long day, and most of them didn’t have much strength left to pretend otherwise.Jasper stood near the side, arms folded. He didn’t react to the announcement. He just watched his men walk over to him one by one. Some of them looked embarrassed. Some just looked disappointed.Two of his men had lost twice already. Their expressions told the whole story before they even opened their mouths.“Boss,” one of them said quietly.Jasper nodded. “You did what you could.”The man didn’t look convinced, but he nodded back.The second man approached.

  • Withdraw

    Two minutes before she stepped onto the stage, the room felt too still. She stood there with her arms folded, staring at the floor like she was trying to settle her thoughts before they spilled over.Jasper didn’t like the look on her face.He leaned closer. “You heard that announcement?”She nodded once.He let out a breath. “Don’t fight. Just step back and let it go.”She didn’t answer immediately. She kept her eyes on the ground, almost as if she was waiting for something to make the choice for her. But nothing did. She lifted her head.“I need to win one of the first three spots,” she said quietly.Jasper frowned. “You won’t get it if you’re injured.”“I still need to try.”“You don’t,” he said. His tone was steady, not harsh. “If you quit, you still have a chance later. They might let it slide. But if you get hurt now, you’re done. There’s nothing after that.”She shook her head. “No. I’m already here. I can’t step back now.”He exhaled again, slower this time. “You’re being stub

  • Jasper versus Roland

    The referee raised his hand again. “Next match. Jasper versus Roland.”Roland stepped forward. He was one of the three men everyone already feared. He cracked his knuckles once and looked at Jasper with a calm expression. Jasper didn’t say anything. He just stood there, relaxed.People in the audience whispered.“That’s one of them.”“Jasper might lose.”“I don’t think so. He’s too calm.”“Calm doesn’t mean unbeatable.”Bai Zhe rubbed his sore arm. “He’ll be fine.”Marco wasn’t convinced. “You sure? That guy looks dangerous.”“He always looks dangerous,” Bai Zhe said. “Let’s just watch.”The referee dropped his hand. “Begin!”Roland moved first. He rushed at Jasper without hesitating, aiming a straight punch at his face. Jasper tilted his head slightly, and the punch went past him. Roland didn’t stop—he spun and aimed a kick toward Jasper’s ribs.Jasper caught the leg with one hand.The crowd gasped.Jasper pushed Roland back gently, as if he was just clearing space. Roland stumbled t

  • I'm still alive

    Bai Zhe gritted his teeth as the kick hit his knee. He staggered back a step, steadying himself. The man came in fast again, throwing another punch. Bai Zhe dodged it this time and pushed the man’s arm aside, trying to create space.“I thought you said you were tired,” the man said.“I lied,” Bai Zhe replied.The man chuckled and rushed in again. Bai Zhe moved back, blocking a punch to his chest. The impact still made him wince. He could feel a sting in his arm. The man wasn’t holding back.Marco shouted, “Bai Zhe, move to the left! Don’t stay straight!”“I know!” Bai Zhe snapped, but he still listened. He shifted left and avoided another punch by a hair.The man kept pressing him, punch after punch. Bai Zhe blocked some, dodged the rest, but his breathing was getting heavier. The man didn’t seem tired. He kept a steady pace, like he had been waiting for Bai Zhe’s stamina to drop.“You’re slowing---” the man said.“You talk too much,” Bai Zhe replied.The man smirked. He aimed a kick
