I screamed. I turned to face him and he smiled. “You don’t need anyone to lower the bar for you.” “I DON’T NEED ANYONE TO LOWER THE BAR FOR ME.” “You’re strong and phenomenal.” “I’M SO STRONG AND PHENOMENAL.” “You don’t need fixing. You’re a super woman.” “I DON’T NEED FIXING. I’M A SUPERWOMAN. ANDRO’S IRON LADY.” He burst into laughter. “Yeah, Iron lady in a good way.”

The crown hums lazy above my heart, content, like it’s stretching after a long, victorious nap. The system window is quiet—no urgent pings, no red alerts.

Orlando and I had been together for ten years. I'd looked after his sick mom, sweating out a fever of my own, and where was he? Knocking back drinks with Rosalind, playing therapist to her broken heart.

Then, when I got the news my mom had passed, I tried calling him, desperate for support. But nope—phone off. After a wild goose chase, turns out he was at Rosalind's graduation. That was it. I gave up. But Orlando wouldn't let go. Red-eyed, he begged me for just one more chance.

'See you after school and we will go for that Ice cream.' 'I can't wait to see you. Bye, later.' I sent and dropped my phone continuing my meal.

There was really an upgrade at every ability an HS or SH have as the system is responsible for their ability getting upgraded to the higher level. Of course, the system needed to be compatible to them as they will still remain on their pitiful level if their system did not even consider upgrading them. Of course the thing that could let the system upgrade the host that was bound to them is, if it as the right time or if it has the 80% stimulation that can be used and turn it into sparkles of energy, buying some potions and clicking and the virtual screen that was placed in the headquarters only systems knows where it was located is.

In the following days Will had gone to the Chiefs room after waking up. Chief didn't seem to mind, and kept teaching Will more words.
