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."

    The silence that followed the departure of the last emergency vehicle was concerning.Opulent Haven Hotel, usually alive with activity at this hour of the day, had descended into an unusual state of confusion and silence. The staff members moved hurriedly through the corridors, while a few guests stood at a distance, whispering among themselves as they tried to get the complete story what happened.At the reception desk, two female receptionists stood close to each other with their voices barely above a whisper."Did you hear what happened upstairs?" one of them asked, glancing towards the elevators, making sure that nobody was coming from upstairs."I heard there were three men in the suite," the other replied. "Unfortunately, one of them didn't make it.""Jesus Christ!!!" The first receptionist covered her mouth. "In this hotel?""Keep your voice down. The manager has already warned everyone not to discuss it with the guests."A male receptionist seated a little farther down leaned

    Someone tried to kill him, and whoever stood behind the attack was still out there. They might already know that he escaped. They might even be preparing for their next move.He looked down at his hands, remembering the struggle in the suite. He had fought his way through the danger, but surviving an attack wasn't the same as understanding it and that pissed him off.He desperately needs answers, and he needed to know who had been responsible for putting him in that position.The taxi eventually slowed to a stop near the address Rachel had given the driver.For a moment, she remained seated with her fingers tightening around the strap of her bag. She turned to Dylan, looking at him as though she still hadn't fully processed everything that had happened."Thank you, Dylan," she whispered as she swallowed hard and tried to force a small smile that didn't quite hide the emotions in her eyes."I honestly don't know what would have happened to me if you hadn't been there." She paused, look

    The taxi moved through the city traffic with its engine humming as the driver navigated the crowded road.Dylan sat beside Rachel in the back seat, his eyes seemed to be staring but his mind was absolutely somewhere else reminiscing about everything that happened.Neither of them had said much since they left the hotel. The events of the day had left too many questions hanging between them, and Dylan wasn't the kind of person who could simply forget something because he had managed to survive it.He will definitely want to see it to the end. Three men had entered his suite with the intention of killing him. That much was clear. But what bothered him was something one of them said.π‘«π’šπ’π’‚π’ π’Šπ’”π’β€™π’• π’Šπ’ 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 π’“π’π’π’ŽDylan replayed the words in his mind.The attackers had been prepared to move.

    By the time Germany reached the underground parking garage, the hotel's security team was heading toward the wrong floor.Someone had redirected the cameras.He didn't know how long the interference would last, and he wasn't interested in finding out. He crossed the garage without looking back, his hand buried inside his jacket where the encrypted phone rested.There was a black-tinted SUV waiting near the exit of the garage and the moment he approached, the rear door opened and Germany climbed inside."Drive." Germany said and the urgency in his voice was quite obvious.The vehicle pulled away before the door had fully shut.For several seconds, none of them spoke a word and the driver watched the road while Germany examined the phone in his hand, turning it over as though he might discover something new by looking at it from another angle."Sir, did you get what you came for?" the driver finally asked."Yes, I got the device, but I can't access it yet." Germany answered casually, hi

    There were mistakes you could afford to make, and then there were mistakes that followed you to the grave. This mission was beginning to look like the latter.The plan had been simple. Get in, retrieve what they needed, eliminate the loose ends, and disappear before anyone realised anything had happened. No evidence and no connection that would ever lead back to them. Killing the receptionist had only made things worse. The woman impersonating her had signed in using the real receptionist's identity that morning, creating the impression that she had reported for duty as usual. But if anyone checked the security footage or questioned the staff, they would soon discover that the real receptionist had never shown up at her post.That discrepancy alone could trigger an investigation. And the deeper investigators dug, the more likely they were to uncover something that should have remained hidden.And the worst part was that Dylan hasn't connected the dots yet.Well, that was the only a

    For a few seconds, the two men struggled.The ring leader was badly injured, but his strength and training hadn't completely left him.The unknown man gritted his teeth and pushed harder while the leader tried to twist free, but his body was already failing him.The blade slowly moved closer and then the unknown man overpowered him and slowly plunged the knife into his chest.The leader's grip finally loosened and his hand slipped from the stranger's worst and fell limply to the floor.For a moment, the man in black remained motionless, watching the last traces of life disappear from the assassin's eyes. Then he pulled the knife free, wiped the blade clean, and returned it to its concealed sheath.He drew in a slow and satisfied breath."One problem solved... Now let's get to the business." He whispered as he crouched beside the body and reached into the dead man's pocket retrieving a smartphone.At first glance, it looked ordinary. No unusual markings and no visible security hardware
