Chapter ninety three
Maybe it was for the best. If I was not inputted into the system anymore, then maybe I was let go. I still don't know what it meant for me, and it was nerve-wracking. I could feel a thousand eyes on me each time I turned around the school corridors. I don't need to be told who the gamers were anymore. I had seen enough of them back in my past to know who was who and who was now in the gaming system. Olivia. Zara.They still pretended I was invisible, like I didn't matter to them. And the likes of Zack and Elliot's brother were back to taunt me again. The life I thought I had left behind was slowly catching up to me yet again. It's been days, no weeks. No message from the system, no mission, and no upgrades.It was like I was let go each time I thought about it. I don't know if I should be thankful or sad. The fact remains that I don't need to look over my shoulders anymore. I was not scared of anyone coming for my head except Elliott's brother, who still gives me the chills.
chapter ninety two
The sound came in faintly—like whispers on the edge of a dream. At first, I thought it was part of the nightmare: blood on my hands, voices screaming in reverse, a countdown that never hit zero. But when I jolted awake, the whispers stopped. I got out of my bed and looked at the time on the wall. It was dawn, barely morning. I grabbed my watch and strapped it to my wrist. I needed to go for a job to clear my head before I get ready for school. I walked out of my room and decided to check on Mrs Tracy. I pushed the door a little and I saw she was still fast asleep cuddled up in her bed. I walked in and kissed her on her head. " Morning mother." I spoke softly into her ears. " Morning son." Mrs Tracy spoke softly rolling on the bed before I walked out. A part of me wished I lived a normal life. A life without the system, a life where I don't have to look over my shoulders all the time. But I guess it was too late now. I need to keep playing until I win. If I win.
chapter ninety one
I stared into her eyes for what felt like forever.A promise?It sounded simple. Ordinary. But in my world, a promise could get someone killed. A promise could expose you to truths you weren’t ready for. A promise could trap you in a reality you no longer understood.“I…” The word hung in the air between us like smoke from a fire I wasn’t ready to put out. “I can’t promise that.”Her expression faltered. Just a flicker. But it was enough to feel like a slap. Mrs Tracy could barely believe what I just said. I was sure she would have given me a spank if I were her real child, but something in her eyes felt calm. Maybe she was being understanding about what I said, or maybe she had finally given up. There was a limit to everything a person can take. Maybe she had reached her limit this time around. “I’m sorry,” I added quickly, trying to soften the blow. “It’s not because I don’t trust you. It’s because—because the things I’m dealing with, the stuff that’s happening—it’s not normal,

If you ask me if my mother was blowing things out of proportion, then I would say no, actually. She has all the right to make sure I was fine and well looked after. After all, she was my mother.The thought of what was going to happen to me if I didn't go back to the same school scared the hell out of me. I didn't have friends, actually.In fact, I had more enemies. Enemies that were ready to bury me in seconds. But still I was having enough to last me a lifetime, or should I say through my school days.Maybe it was for the best, but all of this still felt like I was in a bad dream and I was going to wake up any moment from now. I looked at my mother, and I could still see her angered face.I let out a sigh when I was finally sure I was not dreaming."You are not going back there. If we are paying so much for the tuition fees and they are not ready to treat you right, then I say we change schools. My sister should be back anytime soon." Mrs. Tracy looked at me."Yes. The one I told y

The gunshot was the last thing I heard before I opened my eyes. I stared around to see where I was, and I could see Mrs. Tracy seated at the car end of the bed. She was a little stressed, and I could see that she was looking worried. I could feel my head bang like there was a drum being beaten right inside of it. I let out a gentle sigh, and she opened her eyes. "Jason?" She called out slowly as she got off the couch she was sitting on. "Are you really awake?" I nodded and let out a smile as she walked closer to me. "Oh my god, I thought I had lost you." Mrs. Tracy said, crouching beside my bed. "I am sorry I bothered you. It was not my intention." I said, trying to sit up. [ coughed ]"Should I get you a cup of water?" Mrs. Tracy asked. "No, I will be fine. Since when have I..." I coughed slightly, and that was it. She ran out of the room immediately to get me a cup of water. It feels so unreal. I don't know how long I have been out for. Or how long I had stayed in the past fo
chapter eighty eight
The sound of boots crunching over gravel echoed louder than my heartbeat. The others, the so-called “gamers,” stood still, eyes lowered, as the figure came into view.Long coat. Black combat boots. Face hidden beneath the shadows of a hood. But I didn’t need to see his face to know who it was.Kane.First-tier. The first of us to ever make it.A part of me was scared. This was the first time I was actually seeing a first-tier gamer face-to-face. I had known of Anthony, Leo, and the rest of the seniors, but the way Kane has been talked about, he was not only feared, but they all were scared of him. He was more like Javel in reputation. He was a myth even among the elite. Some said he hacked the system itself. Others said he was the system. But all of them feared him—not because of what he’d done, but because of what he’d become.He stopped a few feet away, lifting his chin just enough for the light to catch the glint of metal beneath his eye. A cybernetic implant. Proof that he’d lef
