"You think a loser like you could ever have me?" Selena sneered, flipping her hair as she clung to Derek’s arm. Jason's heart pounded in his chest. He had done everything for Selena—her homework, her errands, even covered for her when she skipped class. And now, she was throwing it all in his face, laughing at him in front of the entire campus. "You’re pathetic, Jason. You’ll never be good enough for someone like Selena," Derek added, smirking. That night, drowning in anger and humiliation, Jason scrolled through his phone, only to see a strange app appear on his screen. "The Game of Kings"—he hadn’t downloaded it, but it was there, glowing like a beacon. Curious, he tapped it. A message popped up: "Enter your name to begin. Rise or fall—it’s your choice." Jason hesitated, then typed his name. The screen flashed. "Level 1 complete. Claim your reward: $2,000,000 or continue playing?" His breath caught. Two million grand? Was this a dream? His bank app confirmed it—his balance had skyrocketed overnight. Now, with wealth and power at his fingertips, Jason isn’t just playing to win. He’s playing to change his fate. Will he use the game to take down Derek and make Selena regret ever betraying him? Or will he realize that the true game is much bigger than revenge?

Chapter one
I should have known better.The signs were always there. The late replies, the dismissive attitude, the way Selena treated me like a convenience rather than a boyfriend. But love makes you blind. It makes you do stupid things even when the signs are glaring. And I was the biggest fool of them all.I was not that of a fool but I wanted to believe she was busy and couldn't be there for me. But my heart was big enough for the both of us. At least that was what I thought until it dawned on me. It was Friday night, and the campus was alive with energy. The annual frat party at Delta House was the highlight of the semester, and somehow, against all odds, I had managed to get an invite. Not because I was popular or part of the inner circle—far from it. I was there because of Selena. My girlfriend. Or at least, that’s what I thought.I spent the whole afternoon helping her get ready. I ran errands, picked up the dress she wanted, even delivered her shoes from her dorm when she forgot them

"One million dollars!"The words dropped like a thunderclap in the room. Gasps erupted."Did I just hear that right?""One fucking million dollars!"" Jason is doomed. He can never match that amount of money."" Do you think Derek was joking when he said he was going to bury him?"Phones slipped from hands. Mouths hung open like broken hinges. Even the auctioneer's ever-confident grin faltered for a second.I froze.Everything inside me shattered. My heartbeat surged in my ears like a roaring wave, drowning out the murmurs and laughter that erupted again. One million dollars?Derek stood tall, the microphone casually resting in his hand like a weapon, his other hand tucked into the pocket of his silk designer suit.His smug smirk was the sharpest thing in the room. “Oh, I’m sorry,” he added with mock pity, “Was that too much? You can still back out, Jason. No one will judge… well, maybe just a little.”Laughter. A brutal storm of it.I didn’t move.I couldn’t.I felt like a deer caugh

My book shook slightly and my heart pounded.If you asked me a few weeks back to give that amount of money I could have laid it down in a heartbeat. But now, I was just some guy in a fancy suit who was not having up to that amount in his account.Maybe I should have stopped.Walk away and pretend like the money was nothing but I knew it would only make the matter worse. The students , were going to come for my head. Especially Derek's friends.I needed to do something. I noticed the room was hot even though the A/c was on." Can I have a moment?" I looked at the auctioneer who burst into laughter as if he could see through my brave face." You don't have much time,Mr Jason. I expect you to be back soon." He saidI bounce off the podium with alot of gaze falling on me. I could hear the snippets of their laugters and words." Do you think he has up to that amount with him?"" Why don't he say something if he does?"" I bet he is going to ask his grandmother for some money."" The trinke

Silence. That was the only thing I heard after my last words left my lips. A thick, suffocating silence that wrapped around the entire school hallway like a noose. Every single student stood frozen, their eyes glued to me as if I had grown two heads. Even Derek, the arrogant bastard who always had something to say, seemed momentarily stunned. "What?" Derek finally spoke, his voice cracking slightly, though he masked it with a scoff. "Are you messing with me, Jason?" His laughter echoed, though I could hear the slight hesitation in it. I didn't flinch. I didn't stutter. I simply reached into my pocket and pulled out my phone, unlocking the screen before pressing a few buttons. A second later, a notification pinged from his phone. Derek's eyes flickered down, and his smirk dropped instantly. "No way..." he muttered under his breath. The crowd gasped. Selena's mouth parted in shock. Even Alex, who had been cowering earlier, peeked over Derek's shoulder, eyes wide. "That’s twent

"And why do you care?" I snapped, my eyes burning with fury as I faced Derek. His own face twisted in anger. "Did you just talk back at me?" he barked, and before I could react, his hand flew across my face. A sharp sting spread across my cheek, but I refused to flinch. I wouldn't give him that satisfaction. Not yet. The sales representative arrived, handing me my parcel. Selena caught a glimpse of the price tag and paled visibly. "Why are you surprised? Did you think you and your boyfriend were the only ones who could afford luxury?" I asked, watching the disbelief flicker in her eyes. Derek chuckled darkly. "Says the errand boy for some cheap rich man in the city. I could buy ten of those without blinking." I smirked. "We’ll see about that." Without another word, I turned and walked away. But my mind was already set. Revenge. ****************************************************************** Tracy’s eyes widened as she stared at the parcel before her. "Did you steal

I could barely believe what was right in front of me. A whooping sum of $2,000,000 right in my account. I counted the Zeros again and I couldn't believe it. I looked around trying to see if I was not dreaming. I slapped my face and I screamed [ OUCH! ] Another message popped right in front of me yet again. [ SYSTEM MESSAGE ; YOU HAVE TWO WEEKS TO SPEND THE MONEY HOW EVER YOU WISH. ] The game slowly uninstalled itself off my phone. For a moment, I was not sure if I should be happy or sad. That was my lottery ticket to wealth and fame. And it just disappeared. I wasn't bothered. Rather my brain swung into formation Andi began to calculate how I was going to spend the sum of $2,000,000 within two weeks. I know it is a lot of money but damn! I have a lot of things that need to be done. First, I was going to tear down the cafe and build a new one for Madam Tracy. She deserves the very best. She has housed me when I don't even have anywhere to go too. But fir

The picture of Mrs Tracy on her knees before Derek and Selena made me want to puke. I didn't tell her what I was going through to have her go and plead for me. I limped as beaded sweat found their ways to my face. It was just thirty minutes ago but I prayed that I could meet them while I was still at it. As I walked in, I could hear the students stop chatting. " I don't know he has a grandmother." " Did she think she can beg for Luke to be part of us again?" " I would just have her just help him pack his stuff and get their wretched ass out of the school." I ignored the chit-chat among them and walked into the crowd. I saw Tracy was on her knees and I immediately drew her up. " What are you doing, Ma?" I said looking at her face. My clothes were drenched with sweat but I was not bothered. " I can see that you can make your way down here even though you are in clutches. Did I break some ribs?" Derek taunted. " We are leaving her now,ma!" I shouted at Tracy who was surp

I opened my eyes to see where I was. The last thing I remembered before I passed out was me standing in front of the cafe. And the funny message i saw in front of my phone before I passed out. I winced in pain as I tried to sit up. I grabbed my phone, trying to check the gaming app but it was the same old. I felt a bit down but then being poor makes you imagine things. I looked around the sterile room and saw I was in the hospital. The beeping sound of the machine and the ivy that was inserted into my veins made me realise I must have passed out. I don't have the money for the bills. I wonder who brought me down to the hospital. The door opened and I saw the woman again. " I would stay still kiddo. How do you feel?" The woman asked. " I feel like shit. I am sorry I had..." The word was stuck in my throat. " You don't need to feel bad. What is your name?" She asked staring at me. " Luke." I replied " Luke, your injuries are a bit serious. I think you might need t

" No." Her tone was icy and there was a finale in it. The students crackled with laughter as they all smiled. " You got me there." Derek said grabbing Selena by the waist. And she did it, Hse cupped, Derek's face in her hand and placed the most passionate kiss ever. [ STUDENTS GASP ] The hallway was in frenzy mode as many of the students let out a shout. " I told you, she was taunting him." " Luke should know his place." " I can't believe he wasted his time bending the knee." I got up to my feet in anger. I surge forwards dragging Selena away from Derek but a deafening slap hits me across the face. The sound echoed through the hallway and everyone was silent yet again. " Are you dumb?" Selena barked. But I was not done. I charged towards Derek and gave him a punch sending him back to the floor. His friends rushed at me and wanted to roughen me up but Derek's voice made them stop. " No, grab him!" He shouted. I winced as three of his best fight

" Selena." I called out with a shaky voice while I was drenched in her smoothie. The students let out another roar of laughter as I looked around. " Why are you doing this?" I said, taking a few steps towards her. "Because all I could see was thrash standing in my way. I would stop right there." Selena said with a smirk. " Can't you read between the lines or do I need to spell it out for you?" She said again with some of her friends right behind her. " Well, you should give the guy some credit. He lasted more than two semesters now." Olivia said with a smug grin on her face. " I won the bet. You said one semester and I said two." Danielle said laughing. For a moment, I was lost. What does she mean by what she said? Did they actually wager on me? " What are they talking about?" I asked, my gaze landing on Selena who was having fun with her friends. " I thought he was smart. Is he as well dumb?" Olivia asked staring back at Selena before her gaze finally
