Chapter 3
last update2025-02-01 08:56:14

The 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.

$40,000 TO BATHE IN THE FOUNTAIN

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.

The mirror that Jack had smashed into Theo’s face had left many shards of glass embedded in his mouth, cutting his tongue with every word he tried to say."I need...
