Dylan's body was sent flying through the air, crashing to the ground with a sickening thud. He lay there, bleeding and motionless, his vision fading to black as his head spun wildly.

The tears he had been holding back finally broke free, and in that moment, he felt utterly alone and forsaken. The pain was overwhelming, and he couldn't move a muscle.

His mind was a jumble of thoughts, but one question kept echoing:

"Is this the end?" He thought about all he had lost, and how he had nothing left to lose. The world seemed cruel and unfair, and he felt like he was being punished for no reason.

As he closed his eyes, a flood of memories from his life flashed before him. He saw glimpses of his childhood, how his parents died in a car accident, his friends, and his lost love.

He thought he heard a faint whisper in his mind, but he couldn't quite make out what it was saying.

Just then, the faint whisper in his mind became sharper with a resounding voice ringing in his mind.

"HOST DETECTED...."

"INITIATING PARING SYSTEM"

"PARING BEGINS!"

"20% 50%...... 70%.... SYSTEM PARING ACCORDING TO HOST NEEDS."

"ANALYSIS COMPLETE!!"

"TRANSACTION BEGINS......"

"WARNING....!!!!"

[HOST EMERGENCY: Initiating Healing System].

A warm, golden light began to emanate from an unseen source, enveloping Dylan's battered body. The light pulsed with a gentle, soothing energy that seemed to seep deep into his wounds.

As the light intensified, Dylan felt a strange, tingling sensation coursing through his veins, as if his very cells were being rejuvenated.

His pain began to ebb away, replaced by a deep sense of relaxation and calm. The light continued to envelop him, nurturing his body and slowly restoring him to wholeness.

He finally opened his eyes and all he could see was the deserted road and a haunting image of blood splattered around him.

"I got hit by a car.... Am I dead? Did I die like that?" He touched himself to check for possible wounds as he stood firmly.

Dylan scrutinized the deserted road and all he could see was just the splatter of blood covering the road. "Isn't that my blood? And I have no wound. Is this how death looks like?"

Panic set in as memories came flooding back - the car accident, the pain, the feeling of his life slipping away. A cold dread crept over him as he realized that he must be dead.

This must be the afterlife, he thought. But why did it feel so... real? And where the hell is my body? No police sign anywhere, so my body wasn't moved yet...What's happening?

Just then , a mesmerizing blue square hologram appears in his vision, radiating an ethereal glow.

A white light shimmers and undulated, creating a sentence: WELCOME HOST.

Another message followed simultaneously;

"Congratulations! You're the luckiest man among billions. You are chosen to be the Ultimate Ruler of the Infinite World! "

"What the hell is going on? Am I hallucinating? Ultimate Ruler? What's heck is that?"

[You were on the verge of death and the infinite system has been activated. Will host like to activate system fully?]

Dylan giggled at the sound of that, "Yes, I'm definitely hallucinating. This is not some kind of marvel comic... I need to get my head straight."

Dylan stood there trying to figure exactly what happened. Then the thought of Ashley hit him so hard that it became his main thought. Before he could think of the hurtful memories another message appear in the screen.

"WILL YOU LIKE TO ACTIVATE SYSTEM FULLY?"

"Yes, I want to activate... Are you satisfied now?" He yelled at the up of his voice expecting a response after.

A minute passed already and nothing came up. "I knew I was the one hallucinating. What if I am living in my thoughts right now what will---"

Instantly, the same hologram appeared.

Ding...!!! Ding..!

"Full System Activation"

"Opening Access"

[ Name: Dylan Bradley ]

[ Balance: 100000000000000 ]

[ Status: Rank 1]

[ Strength: Weak ]

[Power Point: 0]

[Skills Chamber: 0 ]

Dylan noticed that on the status screen there were more tabs on the top but without even doing anything and just reading the tabs in his head. The screen automatically switched.

On the AI assistant tab, Dylan couldn't really see much. Everything seemed to be locked and slightly greyed out so he quickly moved on to the next tab which was called, Charm. But it was all greyed as well.

A notification popped up on the screen shortly,

[ Note that the balance is not finite. Every rank with a correspondingly increase amount of money. The more money spent, the higher the rank and more money a Host can access. All greyed tabs will be unlocked as host ranked up with power points ]

"Is this some kind of joke? I just have to keep spending the 100 trillion recklessly if I want to level up and I even get to enjoy more money if I level up. Nah!!! This can't be real."

Though he didn't believe, he still scrutinized the screen looking at all the tabs... Immediately, it switched on the main screen and a notification followed abruptly.

[ RANK 1: Get 1 power point for every 100 Million Dollar spent. Account is binded to all all Banks in the world and a host can pay with fingerprint.]

"What if it's just a scam?" Dylan thought to himself. "What if it's just a fancy trick to get me to do something stupid?"

He thought about how his life has been and how desperate he was, how willing he was to try anything to get out of his miserable life.

But as he looked back at the System, he felt a pang of doubt. What if it was too good to be true?

Dylan's mind was a jumble of conflicting emotions, his desire for a better life warring with his fear of the unknown.

He didn't know what to do, or what to believe. All he knew was that he had to be careful, that he couldn't afford to make a mistake.

"Let's try it out then."

    Just then, a beautiful damsel with a petite frame adorned in a tight-fitting sleeveless top and a denim jacket wrapped around her waist, walked towards Dylan and his friends.What made her more hot and utterly tempting for any guy was her seductive smile. Her denim jacket couldn't completely conceal her curves."Maria? Why is she looking....""Hot...! She's gorgeous man, why haven't I seen this version all these while." Austin chimed in before Barry could finish speaking.Any girl with such a body and appearance will walk like there was no other girl around, but that wasn't the case for Maria. Despite concealing her shyness from Austin and Barry, it wasn't possible to avoid Dylan's eyes.“Hey Barry...Hey Austin,” she said with a low and sweet tone.“Hey Maria,” Austin greeted, a bit surprised but smiling like she came to see him.Then she turned to Dylan and before anyone could process it, she wrapped her arms around him in a warm and unexpected hug. “What the…” Barry's eyes widened

    Barry finished speaking and everyone was silently staring at him. It was the stares that made his sad and defeated expression melt away. He chuckled forcefully, but Dylan and the others kept a neutral expression that even made him start freaking out.He was practically replaying everything he had said in his head to see if he said something that he wasn't supposed to, but everything he thought of was just the truth and reality. Winning the competition is going to be difficult and everyone in the team knows and has accepted that except Dylan, who doesn't want to accept reality."Guys, come on, don't look at me like that," Barry couldn't take it anymore. Their expressions were making him unsettled."I'm just keeping it real, you know?" Guilt started kicking in and Barry was trying his best to explain to them.Just when Barry thought things couldn't get any worse, Austin spoke up, his voice completely serious. "You think we are not realistic, huh? Barry? You think we are wasting time by

  • CHAPTER 119

    Dylan's confidence during the training session was so intimidating to everyone even for his own teammates. Such boastfulness only comes from a player who's skilled enough to battle with Desmond and his indomitable team. And judging from Dylan's football skills he was nowhere near defeating those high rated teams.Dylan's confidence had a polarizing effect on his teammates, some were inspired by his fearless attitude and felt motivated to stand up to Desmond and his team. After all, Dylan had been able to stand against Desmond and his friends despite no one being bold enough to talk about it. However, others were intimidated by the prospect of facing such a formidable opponent and were already questioning whether they would show up for the next training session. The weight of Dylan's promise to defeat everyone was crushing, and the thought of failing to deliver made them even more anxious.Given the team's weaknesses, it seemed inevitable that Dylan's team would be eliminated from t

    Dylan and his crew finally got to the school stadium and the energy was alive in the field as different teams were practicing and doing awesome performances.The racetrack were occupied by some top athletes believed to be top strikers and their mind-blowing practices seemed intimidating to other teams. Every of their passes and sprint had some unmatchable aura that could sweep away a full team's confidence.Dylan scanned the entire field, noting how the players moved like well-oiled machines. It was clear that these people weren't just playing, they were contenders. But after much scrutiny, he saw that there were only six teams on the field instead of eight."Wait...I thought there were eight teams this year, why are there just six teams here..." Austin asked before Dylan could say anything. It was like he read Dylan's mind. But it was just the way Austin had been, always inquisitive and doesn't hesitate to ask questions.“You really think the defending champions would train here with

    'Mr. Kimura visited me?''Is it because of what he ordered me to do?' 'How...?! I paid him to get Dylan to apologize to me and here he is... Shit!' Desmond's head was messed up with so many thoughts. The night Kimura called him and asked him to apologize to Dylan replayed in his head again. 'Dylan got him to do this? How? He double paid him?' A smug finally erupted on his face when the thought that Dylan might have challenged him with money swooped in his head.'I will show him who the boss is.' Desmond concluded in his head and turned to leave with Kimura's men in front."I'll be seeing you weaklings in the field if any of you ever get selected." Desmond taunt.Just then, Ashley, swooped in and one could see the disgust plastered over her face. "Dylan, you've always been scrapping the bottom of the barrel with these losers. I'm glad I dumped you, you're not worth it after all.""Do you know I regret every moment I was with you...God forbid I wasn't gullible for too long." Ashley

  • CHAPTER 116

    Most of the students rushing down to the scene were going there because of the drama that might unfold. While others were going there because of the whispers they have heard about Dylan singlehandedly combating Desmond and his squad.No one dared to publicly criticize Desmond, fearing his wrath. Only those from equally influential or wealthier families felt bold enough to speak out against him, unafraid of repercussions.There's no incident that happened in Stone City College that the gossip forums don't post, but they have been intentionally quiet about the case of Desmond and his crew getting humiliated."Hey ignore them and let's leave. There's no time, we need to get registered." Barry voiced out."Oh my goodness, you think you all can handle the pressure of the competition?" Desmond ridiculed them all and started laughing so hard that even other students joined him."You guys are funny. It will be a little slice of luck if the weakest team gets to pick any of you.
