Curtis didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. Maybe he should run. The truth was, it was a desperate situation. Deep down, he knew the police couldn’t fully protect him, but at least they had delayed his death by a few hours.

"On your knees, hands on your head," ordered the officer holding the megaphone.

The drones kept recording from a close height so users could see every detail of the broadcast. The moment was incredibly tense because no one knew how this madness was going to end.

Curtis’s neighbors began rushing out of their homes to see what all the commotion was about. It was a very quiet neighborhood, and they had never seen police officers acting so threateningly, much less aiming their guns. It was also a huge shock that Curtis Grimes was the boy who had caused all this chaos. Curtis had always been a quiet and solitary kid. He didn’t seem like the kind of teenager who would do something like this. Or at least, that’s what his neighbors had thought.

Curtis obeyed the officers’

    Jack got up from the grass slowly and calmly, pulling a cigarette from his pocket along with a lighter. It took a few tries before the lighter managed to produce a flame long enough to light the cigarette, allowing him to take a deep drag — even with his eyes closed — as the screams of a woman echoed in the background. She was crying in despair, holding the lifeless body of her husband, who had just shot himself in the head.Jack watched as all the money that man had accumulated in his bank account was transferred directly to his own. And although Jack wasn’t in it for the money, he knew that this marked the end of that stupid battle.In the distance, the wailing of police sirens could be heard getting closer. Apparently, the neighbors had heard the gunshots and called it in. That was Jack’s signal to leave. He flicked the cigarette butt to the ground and stomped it out with his shoe. He gave one last glance at the heartbreaking scene in that house’s yard before getting into the car t

    Kloe had been left completely alone at the school, and now there was no one who could accompany her in that immense place. She was lucky that her name hadn't yet appeared in the police records related to the Euphoria tournament; otherwise, they would have taken her too, to give her statement before the authorities.For a moment, she doubted whether what she had done was right, whether maybe it could be considered a good idea. But the desire to help her friends quickly convinced her that she was doing the right thing at that moment.And it was exactly then that she saw something that left her speechless. Right at that moment, Alec Walton was walking past her, and the absolute millionaire system inside her head immediately began to feed her all the information about Alec. That made it clear that Theo Walton’s son had also managed to awaken the system, and that alone was enough to explain both his and his father’s involvement in the Euphoria app’s tournament.That same afternoon, a notif

    That day, the app's users learned a valuable lesson: never underestimate your rivals. Nix’s destructive power skyrocketed in a ridiculous way. Within seconds, she had reached 88% of the points, even surpassing Jack Stanton, who was the only one with more than 30 kills to his name.“That was so fast,” exclaimed Carl Stanton, still unable to recover from the shock of what he had just witnessed.And the supreme millionaire was absolutely right. This had easily been the fastest battle so far. Nix had only taken 11 minutes and 36 seconds to find Sony and kill him in such a gruesome way.“This is the kind of show I expect to see. Hopefully there are more users like Nix hiding out there in the shadows,” Carl said to his servants, just before returning to his sanctuary.The betting houses recorded a net gain of 100%. It was unbelievable to think that no one—absolutely no one—had bet even a single cent in favor of Nix.Nix was truly skilled at hiding and moving undetected. She was extremely st

    Kloe couldn’t believe what she had just heard. So, Jack Stanton had somehow managed to enter the bloody tournament from the Euphoria app. What was strange to Kloe was that she knew Jack had the system in his head, just like she did. That made it odd, because it was supposed to be impossible for him to download the app onto his phone. Kloe knew this very well—she had tried a thousand times before accidentally awakening the system when she was hit by that patrol car.The best thing to do now was to visit Jack and try to talk to him, to investigate the matter further. It was disturbing to think that someone could enter that tournament without even being a part of the app.That’s when the entire school erupted into chaos. At first, it started as simple whispers that slowly grew louder and quickly turned into shouting and mockery.Everyone—absolutely every student—was standing along the path, glued to their phones, checking something Kloe didn’t understand at first, but would quickly reali

    A couple of days had passed since Curtis was killed in that forest. Everyone was talking about the horrific death of one of the elite users, who now was just one less number in the Euphoria app tournament. Still, many people had to try to return to their everyday lives while they waited for their turn to face a battle in the tournament.That was exactly the case for Rex and Lix. They were going back to school, trying to pretend they had normal lives, when the truth was they were completely paranoid, believing their turn could come at any moment—especially Lix.She kept thinking about what her opponent would be like, and how she would react when that rival tried to kill her. Her father had even committed to teaching her how to shoot any type of weapon. If he couldn’t save her from those battles, he could at least give her enough knowledge to defend herself.It was awful trying to pretend everything was fine and lead a normal life while living in constant fear of your own cell phone.

    Carl Stanton immediately called an urgent meeting with all the staff working in that gigantic building where all the elite millionaires of the spiritual world lived. No one could be left out. Everyone—absolutely all of the millionaires—had to be present by direct order of none other than Number 0 himself. Nothing like this had ever been seen before. No supreme millionaire in the past had dared to completely shut down the Absolute Millionaire System for a personal whim. Chaos and confusion reigned in that place, with all the millionaires having no idea what was going on.However, they suspected it had to be something very serious. Serious enough to warrant a meeting of such magnitude. From the newly arrived millionaire—who obviously held the lowest rank—to Number 2, who at the time had the highest rank beneath the supreme millionaire. All together in the same confined space. All needing to know, immediately, what the hell was going on."Is everyone here?" asked Carl Stanton, taking his
