2025-02-01 08:56:14The sun rose, and Jack shed tears of pain. Even his broken bones and all the wounds on his body weren’t enough to surpass the suffering caused by Hillary’s betrayal.
"I guess it’s better if I just die now," he thought, then closed his eyes, ready to let go.
Suddenly, he began to see a screen appear in front of his eyes.
[ ACTIVATING SYSTEM.... ]
"I must be close to death, and now I’m hallucinating," Jack thought.
[ USER: JACK EMBER
STATUS: CRITICAL
RESTORE? YES NO ]
"What the hell is this? What’s going on? Did they hit me too hard on the head?"
[ YOU MUST MAKE A CHOICE IN 10... 9... 8... ]
"Alright, alright... I choose yes, yes, I want to restore," Jack said with difficulty, his face twisting in pain.
[ BEGINNING RESTORATION.... ]
Jack closed his eyes, and within seconds, he was able to get up from the street as if nothing had happened. His body was still covered in blood, but his wounds had completely healed. He could open and close his hands without any problem, just like his legs, which had been broken just moments ago.
"Was it all just a dream then?" Jack said incredulously.
But he panicked when he saw that screen appear in front of his eyes again. The shock made him fall backward onto the ground.
[ MILLIONAIRE NO. 2 OFFERS $10,000 TO LICK BLOOD OFF YOUR ARM
ACCEPT REJECT ]
Jack raised his eyebrows in confusion. Everything about this was too strange to be true. Was he going insane?
[ OFFER EXPIRES IN 10... 9... 8... ]
"I accept! I accept! I accept!" Jack shouted quickly.
Deep down, he knew it was something stupid. His hallucinations were far from reality. No one in the world would pay that much money just to see him lick a little bit of his own blood. But it seemed fitting to play along with his thoughts.
He slowly brought the tip of his tongue closer, all the while thinking he was doing something crazy. He trembled slightly, but he didn’t stop until his tongue reached his arm. He only tasted a tiny bit of the blood on him.
[ CONGRATULATIONS!
MISSION COMPLETED
TRANSFERRING FUNDS TO BANK ACCOUNT... ]
Just then, his phone buzzed with a notification from the bank. He had just received $10,000 from an anonymous account.
Jack dropped his phone to the ground in astonishment. This couldn’t be real. Everything was becoming stranger and more mysterious. And he couldn’t stop asking himself the same question over and over again: "Am I going crazy?"
He picked up his phone from the ground and ran out of that place, looking in all directions. He was paranoid, constantly wondering if someone was watching him.
"Alright... Alright... Calm down! There must be a reasonable explanation for all this," he told himself as he walked through the city.
He saw a very luxurious limousine and quickly remembered what had happened the night before.
"Of course... This must be a prank from Theo and Ricco. Those jerks never get tired of mocking me."
He stopped in front of a massive water fountain in the center of a beautiful, bustling plaza while people looked at him with concern, seeing his body covered in red stains.
[ MILLIONAIRE NO. 6 OFFERS $20,000 TO BATHE IN THE FOUNTAIN.
ACCEPT REJECT ]
"No... That’s it. I’m not going to be part of this stupid game anymore," Jack said angrily, crossing his arms.
People watched him talk to himself and backed away in fear, thinking he had completely lost his mind.
[ MILLIONAIRE NO. 6 DOUBLES HIS OFFER.

ACCEPT REJECT ]
But Jack remained with his arms crossed, refusing to continue with the game. Though he quickly remembered the massive debt he had with the bank for the engagement ring he had bought for Hillary. That made him hesitate for a moment.
[ MILLIONAIRE NO. 6’S OFFER EXPIRES IN 10... 9... 8... ]
Jack tried to stay firm in his stance, but the thought of the forty thousand dollars he was throwing away lingered. If the Walton brothers were playing with him, at least they were paying well for him to be their toy.
[ 4... 3... 2... ]
Jack set his phone aside and started running like a madman. He jumped into the fountain like it was a public pool, performing a cannonball dive, and although he denied it, deep down, he thoroughly enjoyed it.
Water splashed everywhere, soaking anyone near the edge. Jack submerged himself to the bottom, and for a moment, there was peace in his ears, with only the sound of the moving water.
When he resurfaced, he heard the whistle of a police officer rushing toward him.
[ CONGRATULATIONS!
YOU JUST COMPLETED ANOTHER MISSION
TRANSFERRING FUNDS TO BANK ACCOUNT..... ]
"You are under arrest for disturbing the peace," the officer said as he helped Jack out of the fountain.
"Just a minute, officer. I need to grab my phone," Jack said.
As he approached and picked up his phone, he immediately saw a notification from the bank on the screen, showing that he had received a $40,000 transfer from an unknown account.
Finally, Jack smiled, relieved. If he was going crazy, at least he was doing it in style. After that, he calmly returned to be arrested by the officer waiting by the fountain.
Jack was locked in a small cell for a couple of hours before being taken to Sergeant Brandon’s office.
"Are you Mr. Ember?" Sergeant Brandon asked as Jack peered into the door.
"Yes, it’s me," Jack replied.
"Please come in and have a seat," Brandon said, placing his coffee on the desk.
[ MILLIONAIRE NO. 2 OFFERS $5,000 TO DRINK THE MAN’S COFFEE
ACCEPT REJECT ]
"I see here that you claim some men beat you and broke your bones, is that right?" Sergeant Brandon asked while holding Jack’s report.
But Jack just stared at him with wide eyes.
"Well... But I see that you are completely healthy," Brandon insisted.
Suddenly, Jack took the sergeant’s coffee and began drinking it right in front of his eyes, leaving him speechless.
Sergeant Brandon took Jack’s report and tore it into a thousand pieces.
"I’m going to let you go because I believe you have no idea what you’re doing or saying."
"Thank you very much," Jack said, quickly leaving the office.
As he walked away, he received a notification on his phone informing him of a $5,000 transfer to his bank account from an unknown source.
Jack smiled and continued on his way.

Chapter 167
The Citadel flickered with the reflection of millions of screens, each one displaying the notification from the Euphoria App. Carl Stanton, now fully returned from his twisted retrospection, watched as his empire of chaos continued to spin, relentless. Fred’s massacre, Jack’s defiance—it was all part of his design. And now, the stage was set for a new battle.A now-familiar hum, the sound of broadcasting drones, intensified over the city. The transmission lit up on every device, on every screen. The insatiable public prepared to enjoy another show about to begin.At the center of the projections, two faces. Two names that fate had chosen to pit against each other in the second round. The first, a middle-aged man in a flawless tailored suit, despite the dust and ruin surrounding him. His gaze was cold, calculating, a sharp intelligence gleaming in his eyes. Perhaps the most well-known contestant of all: THEO WALTON.His description read:[ ELITE MILLIONAIRE...STATS: HIGH.PREVIOUS VIC
Chapter 166
Carl Stanton’s rage still simmered beneath the surface of his skin—a dormant volcano visible through his eyes.Jack’s insolence, his son’s utter disregard for his rules, was a deeply personal offense, one that gnawed at him.The image of Jack pointing directly at the drone, that defiant stare, repeated in Carl’s mind over and over, endlessly. It was a warning, yes—but also a confirmation: Jack was coming for him, driven by a thirst for vengeance Carl knew all too well. Too well. Because that same thirst, that same ruthless ambition, had once fueled Carl’s own rise to power.His anger began to mingle with a strange melancholy, a distant echo of the past. The throne of skulls, once a symbol of his triumph, now served momentarily as a reminder of the horrors and sacrifices that had forged him.Carl closed his eyes, his head heavy in his hand, and the Citadel faded away, replaced by the raw images of his exile—the path that led him to become the Absolute Millionaire. That’s when he began
Chapter 165
The air in the Citadel was thick, saturated with the suffering brought on by the deaths of all those wandering millionaires who had tried to gain entry—and with the expensive perfume of those who had succeeded. It was a life of madness that many were beginning to get used to.Carl Stanton, Absolute Millionaire Number Zero, sat upon his throne of skulls, a macabre monument to his unstoppable ascent. The polished bones creaked softly beneath his weight, and that sound was music to his ears. Only someone like him could find amusement in such a way with the corpses of his enemies.In front of him, the vibrant hologram of the Euphoria App’s broadcast projected the brutal reality of the human world. Drones—his omnipresent eyes and ears—transmitted the signal directly to the spiritual world, and simultaneously, to the screens of other users watching his game.His gaze was fixed on the image: Jack shooting Fred, the “Bone Eater,” squarely in the forehead. A clean shot, dead center between the
Chapter 164
The bodies were piling up in the improvised morgue. The public library had become a grotesque pyramid of flesh and bone. These were the remains of Carl Stanton's "armies"—the teenagers and young adults who had fallen in the senseless war against the police. Their faces, frozen in expressions of terror and regret, stood as silent testimony to the manipulation that had led them to their deaths. The forensic workers, exhausted and glassy-eyed, could barely keep up. The city had become a massive graveyard, where death visited daily.As death filled every corner, a light flickered on millions of screens. The vibrant glow of the Absolute Millionaire System. The users—those who had survived the street war with the police or simply watched it from the safety of their shelters—saw the logo of the Euphoria App come back to life. A pair of snakes staring menacingly at the viewer. Carl Stanton gave the contestants no rest.A sharp, piercing beep rang in everyone’s ears, a vibration announcing the
Chapter 163
The Citadel stood, imposing and opulent, a testament to Carl Stanton's absolute power. It was his pedestal, beyond the sight of the wretched streets of the spirit world, where Absolute Millionaire Number Zero reveled in his latest creation. The throne room, a sanctuary of polished marble and gleaming steel, was bathed in a cold light that highlighted the centerpiece of his macabre work: his new throne.It was no ordinary throne. This architectural abomination had been meticulously assembled from the skulls of all the traitors who dared to conceive a coup against him. Each empty socket, each fractured jaw, narrated a story of failed attack and brutal punishment.But they weren't the only ones on the throne. Among the bony remains mingled the skulls of wandering millionaires who, panicked and desperate, had died by the dozens trying to force their way into the impenetrable Citadel, seeking refuge from the horrors lurking in the slums and the dark forest. These were the remains of those
Chapter 162
Another morning had dawned upon the city. Those who still breathed thanked their god for the miracle of being alive. All was tranquil until the world froze with the artificial glow of millions of technological screens that lit up simultaneously.The anticipation was a palpable electric current, a contained roar that vibrated in the depths of every user, who couldn't wait to know the names of the next contenders.Carl Stanton had created something far more addictive than any drug. He had created the addiction of chaos, and its results had not disappointed. After the brutal previous battle, which ended with the massacre of Fronteit, the public yearned for more.A familiar hum, already known to everyone, was the prelude to a blood spectacle. That sound vibrated in the air, followed by a sharp beep that pierced the eardrums of every user of the Euphoria App. The logo pulsed with a reddish light, like a heart beating in a predator's chest, and then projected onto the screens, like some der
