Kloe came back home that afternoon after a tough day at high school. On her way, she had to pass once again in front of the house of that old-time murderer everyone called Jack Stanton, and once more she felt that unpleasant chill run through her entire body. But this time it was worse, as she came face to face with Jack himself as he was stepping out of his house.

Kloe and Jack locked eyes for a moment, and although Jack didn’t feel anything at all, for Kloe it was a very strange experience.

She expected to feel fear or dread standing before a man who had committed so many crimes. However, it was quite the opposite.

Kloe took the time to look into the reflection in Jack’s eyes and found only sadness. In his eyes, there was nothing but a deep emptiness and a loneliness that made the heart ache. There was also anguish and despair, as if he were tormented by something he had done.

She saw many things in Jack’s eyes, but not the evil and darkness so many people had described. Somehow, Kl

    Lix and Kloe had traveled to many places looking for Rex. They had even paid for several taxis to search the spots where they assumed he might be hiding. However, all their efforts were in vain. They had run out of ideas of where to look, and time kept slipping away.“We have to go to his house,” said Lix once there were no more places left to search.“That’s stupid. That would be the last place Rex would think of hiding. He knows perfectly well that’s the first place the police would look,” replied Kloe.“We have to do something to find him soon, before he does something stupid,” Lix insisted, completely desperate.“I have an idea, but… you’re not going to like it,” said Kloe in a slow, measured voice.“Don’t even think about it,” warned Lix, her eyes wide open.“I’m really sorry, Lix. But it’s the only way to find Rex quickly,” Kloe responded, then pulled out Lix’s phone, which she had kept in her pocket to keep it away from her.Lix had tried to keep her phone away because she had

    Rex kept running through the darkness of the forest, not knowing where he was supposed to go. He obviously couldn’t return home, because the police were probably already there looking for him. He felt deeply ashamed in front of his adoptive parents, who wouldn't understand anything that was happening. But he couldn’t let the police lock him up in a cell—because that would definitely mean his death.His only chance was to fight and try to kill a person he didn’t know, someone he had never seen, much less spoken to. All of this ran through his mind as he ran, stumbling and falling every so often because he couldn’t avoid tripping in the darkness. Maybe it was nerves, or the desperation to flee and get away from the drones chasing him from above, and those police officers following him in patrol cars. But he hadn’t even thought about turning on the flashlight on his phone to light the path. He only had time to relive the most painful moments of his life, as tears streamed down his face.

    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
