I said curiously. "Well, I don’t know but I am pretty sure that those two devils are up to no good". Liam replied. "So, what’s the second step, since our first one was a quick success, I suppose that we are going to proceed towards our second step". I asked. "Yes, we are going to.

Byron and I laughed and when Jack was finished I felt like the words ws spinning. The world. I looked around at the mess that we did and found something odd.

Let’s not even mention him inheriting the position of the city lord, he had never even had a girlfriend! It was like downloading a super awesome game hailed as the masterpiece of the century, spending a lot of time reading the manual and passing the tutorial, and then when you are finally about to start playing the actual game, a window pops up saying, “Your trial has expired.

“Hear that, Dad? The prince and the princess live happily ever after in the story. You’re not even a knight in shining armor. The best you’ll ever be is the villain.” “Yeah, yeah, sure.” My half-hearted response stood out against Kaden’s discolored face. “Mr. Simon Barone, you may now kiss your bride.” “Player, the exit portal is now open. Ten-second countdown initiating.” Amid the overlapping voices, Kaden’s eyes widened, and he shrieked out loud. He shouted the same way when the System went away the other day.

The Hunters fall back now. Even they understand. This is beyond them. The figure looks at me one last time. “This is your last chance,” it says. “Choose.” My heart pounds. My mind races.

The only thing I could get out of my mouth that would keep me calm was “We are over. I don’t love you and I’ve never truly loved you.
