Dream's POV

The first email came early in the morning, before the sun had even fully risen. I was halfway through my first cup of coffee when my laptop pinged with a new message, no subject, no sender name, just a blank header with an attachment icon blinking red.

I should have ignored it. I should have deleted it like the dozens of spam mails that came in daily. But something about the way my name was written in the preview, “Dream” , plain and unadorned, caught my attention. No one addressed me like that except the people who knew me personally.

I clicked it open.

The email body was empty, save for three words written in black text that chilled me instantly.

“Miss me yet?”

Below it, an attachment, a blurred photograph. My heart thudded as I clicked it.

It was a picture of the company building taken from across the street. Recent. The timestamp in the corner was from the night before. Whoever took it had been watching.

I sat back, pulse pounding. My coffee had gone cold in m

  • LEVEL UP MY COLD CEO {MxM}   CHAPTER 165: PHANTOM TOUCH.

    Gloss POV Darkness does not hold me. Light does not greet me. Instead I float. Weightless. Airless. Caught between waking and falling, like my body is present somewhere but my soul is unsure of where to settle. The world feels too soft under me, like a sheet of fog instead of a real surface. I blink, and everything comes into view at once. Dream’s office. The familiar desk. The soft glow of evening light brushing across the floor. And him. Dream sits in his chair, his head bowed slightly, his hand wrapped around my scarf. The sight of him makes something inside me ache. He looks tired. Heavy. As if he has spent hours whispering to a ghost he cannot see. I take a breath, though the air feels thin. I rise slowly, pushing myself upright, and my fingers slide through the floor before I realize what is happening. My hand does not meet resistance. My legs do not cast a shadow. My heart still beats, but softly, like it knows it is not completely tied to this world anymore. I stand

  • LEVEL UP MY COLD CEO {MxM}   CHAPTER 164: THE SILENT REBOOT.

    Dream's POV Light. That is the first thing I notice. Not blinding. Not harsh. Just soft morning light pushing its way across my eyelids like it has always belonged there. I inhale slowly, expecting the air to taste of smoke or static or the metallic tension that fills a collapsing world. Instead it tastes clean. Still. Familiar. For a moment, I lie still and wait for the trembling in the ground or the sound of the countdown. None of it comes. The silence stretches around me, warm and complete. I open my eyes. I am in my bed. The ceiling is smooth again. The cracks are gone. The room is bright. My nightstand is exactly where it should be. My clock ticks normally, like nothing ever tried to end. The world is peaceful. Completely, painfully peaceful. My first breath is steady. My second one fractures in my chest. Gloss. I sit up too fast. My vision blurs with the sudden shock of movement, but my hands are already grabbing at the sheets, the mattress, the space beside me. Emp

  • LEVEL UP MY COLD CEO {MxM}   CHAPTER 163: SYSTEM'S FAREWELL.

    Gloss POV Time stops the moment those cold words scrape across my mind. Confirmed. Real body termination initiated. Everything freezes around me, as if the world cannot decide whether to keep me alive or let me dissolve. My breath catches in my throat. My pulse stutters. I feel Dream’s grip around me, strong and desperate, like he is trying to anchor me to a world that is already slipping between my fingers. Then, without warning, a soft light settles around us. It floats in the air like dust caught in a sunbeam. Warm. Still. Quiet. The kind of quiet that feels almost sacred. The countdown stops. The shaking ground stills. The broken sky pauses in its cracking. Even Dream’s heartbeat halts against my chest. Only the light moves, pulsing gently, wrapping around me in a way I never expected anything system related could. I blink at it, waiting for the cold mechanical voice to return and drag me back into panic. Instead, when the voice finally comes, something in it is different.

  • LEVEL UP MY COLD CEO {MxM}   CHAPTER 162: THE CHOICE.

    Gloss POV The countdown echoed through my skull like a heartbeat that did not belong to me. It vibrated in the air, in the cracks of the sky, in the trembling ground beneath our feet. It felt like the whole world held its breath. “Ten seconds remaining.” The words circled my mind again and again, heavy and cold. Dream pulled me close like he was trying to shield me from everything, even from time itself. His hands tightened around me, warm and desperate, as the world continued collapsing around us. The sky split open in jagged streaks. Buildings lost their shape. The streets flickered into long lines of white code. The air thinned, then thickened, then thinned again. Every breath tasted wrong, and every sound carried the sharp edge of an ending. Dream held my face, his own shaking with fear he tried so hard to hide. I felt the tremor in his fingers, the fast rise and fall of his chest. His eyes, usually sharp and unreadable, were glassy, full of worry and pain. “Gloss,” he whi

  • LEVEL UP MY COLD CEO {MxM}   CHAPTER 161: A WORLD COLLAPSING.

    Dream's POV Gloss’s silence settled like a stone inside my chest. The moment those words left my mouth, the moment I whispered “Forget me? Gloss?” everything inside me twisted. He looked shattered, trembling, eyes wide with panic and confusion. I stepped toward him, reaching for him because I could feel him slipping away, not just physically, but mentally, emotionally, torn between two worlds I never meant to place him between. Before I could say more, the world around us cracked. At first, it was a faint sound, like thin ice under pressure. A sharp, crisp line sliced across the sky, glowing white for one long second before spreading. Another crack followed, this one louder. The sky split open as if some unseen hand had taken a hammer to my reality. Pieces of the clouds shattered like glass and disappeared into the void. The city buildings around us flickered in and out, their foundations melting into glowing grids before blinking back as unstable outlines. The world I wished int

  • LEVEL UP MY COLD CEO {MxM}   CHAPTER 160: SYSTEM ULTIMATUM.

    Gloss POV The air hung heavy around me, thick with static and the unrelenting hum of the system in overdrive. My vision flickered, the corrupted code of the collapsing world still spiraling in impossible angles, yet somehow sharper now, more precise, as if the system had narrowed its focus directly on me. Every particle of light, every shard of digital residue seemed to pulse in rhythm with my racing heart. And then the message appeared, abrupt, chilling, final. Two choices. I froze before the interface, my chest tightening with the weight of the words. The letters glowed red, vibrating violently, as if the system itself trembled at the enormity of the ultimatum it was about to force me to confront. Choice one: Remain in Dream’s world, stay in this fractured, manufactured reality… and cease existing in my true body. Fade into this life that had been built from a wish, a fantasy stitched together across timelines and impossible circumstances. My life here, my memories, my bond wit
