Jack had made a great effort to return home. He had crawled a bit, feeling his way along the walls to guess his way back. He couldn't see a thing, but he had every inch of the neighborhood memorized.

Opening his front door had been a struggle, as he had to try every single key to guess which one was the right one.

"Ricco! Ricco!"

He shouted several times upon entering his house, calling for his dog. It was very early in the morning, and his mother was probably at church.

His dog came running and jumped onto his chest, licking his face excitedly.

"You're a good boy," Jack said as he hugged his dog. "Take me to my room."

He used his dog as a guide to make the walk to his room much easier.

Just then, his phone began to ring, warning him of an incoming call.

He had some trouble but eventually managed to answer it.

"Jack speaking."

"Jack, my brother!"

Jack immediately recognized Theo Walton’s voice, and he sounded quite excited.

"I'm calling you from the Walton mansion. I want to formally

    Jack opened his eyes and realized he could see again.He had no idea how much time had passed, nor could he remember when he had fallen asleep. All he knew was that he was surrounded by ten completely naked women, asleep on an elegant bed in one of the rooms of the Walton mansion.He was also completely naked and quickly noticed that he had had sex with all of them. The pounding pain in his head told him he must have consumed a large amount of alcohol the day before.[IMPORTANT NOTICE!YOUR 24-HOUR PUNISHMENT IS OVER...YOUR VISION HAS BEEN RESTORED TO 100%...NOTES: NONE...]“Thank you very much,” Jack said sarcastically, clearly angry at the actions taken by the system's wealthy elites.He lay back on the bed and stared at the ceiling of that luxurious room while the women slept around him.Meanwhile, Ricco and Theo were arguing in Ricco’s private study—or rather, Theo was receiving a harsh scolding from his older brother.“The idea was to humiliate him, not reward him with ten pros

    Jack, he felt trapped in a nightmare. This ritual surpassed every sick joke the Walton brothers had played on him in the past. Hillary was pulled into the center of the room, where there were many red pillows on the floor and a mattress of the same color. Ricco Walton's assistants were pulling on the chain around Hillary's neck to force her to walk. There was no point in resisting, perhaps because of that, Hillay was hardly fighting the whims of Ricco and his henchmen anymore. "No way am I staying here," Jack whispered in Kriss' ear. "Jack!" cried Kriss in a low voice so as not to disturb Ricco's ritual. But, just at that moment the millionaire system appeared in front of Jack's eyes, and that made him stop immediately.

    [CONGRATULATIONS!CHALLENGE SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETED...TRANSFERRING MONEY TO BANK ACCOUNT 85%....]Jack watched as all that money flowed into his bank account, making him even richer. However, nothing could erase from his mind the tormenting thought that Hillary was likely making love to Ricco Walton at that very moment.“Great,” Jack said sarcastically, as he sat at the bar in the Walton mansion.Just then, Theo walked into the bar and found Jack sitting there.“That was spectacular, don’t you think?” Theo said, arms wide open and a huge grin on his face.“Drop dead…”Jack was furious and in no mood to tolerate Theo’s insolence. He grabbed his glass and drank every last drop of wine.“I’m going home,” Jack said.Theo quickly moved to stop Jack from getting up.“Nonsense!”Jack sat back down and tried to summon the patience to resist punching Theo in the face. He took a deep breath and calmed himself with another glass of wine.“You can’t leave yet,” Theo said.“This is stupid. We have

    "Follow me."Theo Walton was showing Jack the way to the helipad on the rooftop of the Walton mansion. He looked cheerful and eager to lead the journey.Along with Jack, Kriss, Max, Ricco, and Hillary were also coming along. They would be the only ones boarding that Walton brothers’ helicopter.The helipad was enormous. Jack was surprised by the size of the helicopter standing before him."Impressed?" Max asked Jack."They're much bigger in real life," Jack replied."You're a partner of the Walton brothers now. You need to leave all that poverty behind," Kriss said with disgust, clearly looking down on Jack.Jack frowned and cleared his throat. That was the only way he could endure the awkward moments those millionaires made him go through."Where are we going?" Jack asked Theo.Theo smiled and lowered his head, casting his gaze downward for a second.Ricco Walton gently supported Hillary's back while she maintained her posture as a millionaire lady. Her facial expression was serious.

He was convinced he was going to die when he hit the ground. That parachute refused to open, and there was no way to stop the impact."You have to help me," Jack said, speaking to the millionaires hidden behind the screen.However, that screen remained absent. That’s when he understood—the system’s millionaires had no intention of helping him. To them, just like to the Walton brothers, Jack was nothing but a clown. Someone who did stupid things just to entertain them and make them laugh. They didn’t care one bit about Jack’s life.As Jack fell freely, the Walton brothers and their friends watched from the helicopter door, looking down into the depths below.“Is he dead yet?” asked Ricco, who was the only one not peering out the door.“I can’t see a thing.

    "What is all this about?"Hillary immediately thought she had gone crazy due to the abuse and all that time spent locked in that completely dark room."Theo, if this is some kind of joke, let me tell you it’s not funny."Hillary immediately blamed her brother-in-law. Surely, it was one of his cheap, stupid pranks to make her look ridiculous.Just then, one of Ricco’s employees returned to the room and found her there, talking completely alone. For a moment, it seemed very strange. It wasn't normal for Miss Hillary to talk to herself. “She’s probably gone mad,” the woman thought as she looked at her with prejudice. Still, she said nothing and continued with her work. She was paid to treat the wounds on Hillary’s back—what happened to Miss Lombardini’s sanity wasn’t her concern.[ USER ERROR!THE ABSOLUTE SYSTEM IS NOT A JOKE.IT IS A SOPHISTICATED MODEL DESIGNED TO HELP PEOPLE FROM ONE DIMENSION TO ANOTHER.

    "Do you have a specific plan in mind?"Theo asked."We’re going to shoot him in the head," Kriss replied immediately."One shot and it’s over," Max added."It would be quick and painless," said Ricco, who seemed lost in thought. "A bullet travels faster than sound. If you shoot him in the head, he’ll be dead before he even hears the gunshot," he explained."It’s the wisest option," Theo said. "Jack is stronger than all of us. We can’t risk getting into a fight with him.""I want him to suffer!"Ricco shouted and slammed his fist onto the desk like a gavel. He was a full-blown dictator, and they had to follow his orders."Then what do you suggest?" Theo asked with some fear in his voice.Ricco clasped his fingers together like he was about to pray, and then said:"You’re going to inject him with a tranquilizer."Theo sighed in concern and ran a hand down his face, while Kriss and Max seemed delighted with the idea."You’ll invent some story about a business trip, and when he lets his g

    “We’re going to die!” Kriss screamed, her voice sharp and shrill.Within seconds, the car lost control and veered into the opposite lane at full speed. Theo was completely unconscious, his foot pressing the accelerator all the way down.Miraculously, the car managed to dodge every oncoming vehicle, but it couldn't avoid the huge tree on the other side of the highway.The crash was massive. For Jack, it felt like it happened in slow motion. He could even hear the metal of the car crumpling from the impact against the tree that had seemingly appeared out of nowhere.Millions of tiny shards of glass started raining everywhere. He also heard the engine completely shatter.Max was the first to die. It happened instantly. Jack saw him launched forward by the force of the impact, his head bursting like a watermelon against the windshield. Without a seatbelt, he was a victim of gravity, flying straight into instant death.Kriss didn’t die right away, but she took a brutal hit. She too was thr

He climbed up and jumped, landing on the garden lawn while holding a bag in his hand. The bag was plastic and protected the clothes inside.He started looking for small rocks all over the garden and began throwing them at the second-floor window. That was the window to Kloe’s bedroom.

Are you okay?” her mother called from the kitchen after hearing the thud.“Yes, Mom!” Kloe replied from the floor. “I’m a mess,” she whispered to herself.“Rex just got here!” her mother announced.“That’s fine, Mom.

    “My father? What could you possibly know about my father?” Jack asked with suspicion.“Carl Stanton is the one who locked us in this place,” Josh confessed.“Just put that spoon down and let’s talk for a bit,” Bob requested.Jack finally felt curious about what those old men were saying. Clearly, they weren’t crazy as he had thought. They weren’t deranged killers like the media had made the world believe.He slowly lowered the spoon and decided to trust those three complete strangers he had never seen before.“Good heavens,” Aaron exclaimed.“I’m too old for this,” said Bob, placing a hand on his chest in relief.“Who are you? And how did you end up locked in this place?” Jack asked, eager to get to the bottom of the mystery.“We’ve got a lot to talk about, kid. We’d better head to the garden,” Josh said kindly.Jack agreed and left the bathroom with the three men, walking to the gardens to sit and talk calmly.“I’m glad you didn’t kill us,” Josh said as he sat down.“You wouldn’t hav

    The next day, the door opened and a nurse named Dick, according to his badge, entered the room. He was an overweight teenager in a foul mood, constantly showing his anger through arched eyebrows and a hateful stare.“Bath time,” said Dick, clearly annoyed.Dick hated his job, but he couldn’t quit. It was the only way to pay for his studies.“I could swear I heard you couldn’t walk,” Dick said when he saw Jack get out of bed on his own.Jack stood in the middle of the room, waiting for Dick to make a move to try to bathe him.Dick tried to grab Jack, but Jack quickly stepped aside. A slight turn was all it took to dodge the out-of-shape overweight teen.“Don’t move. I have to take you to the showers,” insisted Dick.“You and how many more?” Jack asked, speaking in a muffled voice through the muzzle that completely covered his mouth.Dick stepped back slightly to press his manual alarm.

    The electric shocks had caused a decline in Jack. They had made him submissive and less aggressive. Since he arrived he was receiving an electric attack every time he raised his voice. It caused him to stop fighting and now he just obeyed every order Dr. Helix gave him to avoid further suffering. "Sit down!" said Dr. Helix pointing to a gurney where he wanted Jack to sit. Detective Brooks entered the office to be present that morning for the daily therapy Jack was to face. Jack sat submissively and quietly while dressed in a blue clinical gown. "Why did you remove his restraints?" asked Detective Brooks very concerned, "You have no idea how dangerous this patient can be," he exclaimed. "You have nothing to worry about, detective!", assured Dr. Helix as he raised his hand in a pausing manner to ask for the detective's calm. "He murdered 35 people. Of course I have to worry."

"We can keep going all night if you want," he threatened.Jack spat out a large amount of blood from his mouth, along with some teeth that bounced across the interrogation room floor."I didn’t do it!"Jack shouted furiously, looking straight at Detective Brooks, holding his gaze without fear."Oh, Jack!
