My 1000th Attempt Worked Novels & Stories

On every previous proposal, she'd refused me, saying that her childhood friend, Ronald Shaw, hadn't married yet, and she couldn't break their promise. I used to believe that even if she graded me from zero, by the hundredth time, I would've gotten a perfect score, and she'd finally agree. So, I chose to propose for the hundredth time on my 30th birthday, hoping to start a new decade and a new chapter with her. I had assumed she would say yes without a doubt this time. But she turned me down again, just as decisively as before. I got to my feet and faced her clearly annoyed expression. I decided to ask again, partly just to give myself a chance to finally let go.

He moved his finger across the panel, etching a bold, decisive line. All of a sudden, the system's voice resounded in my mind: "Jake's affection level for you has fallen to 0%! That's a decrease of 93.261%. With the additional 93.261 points, your total score is now 5003.261! "Congratulations, Emma! You have successfully completed your mission! The ten-million-dollar cash prize is officially yours!" A chuckle broke from my lips. This time, it wasn't the tense, desperate laugh from before. It was a genuine laugh, born from relief and the joy of liberation.

One hundred scratches on the wall. Brynn pressed her palm flat against them in the dark. A hundred days. She'd carved a deeper line on the hundredth, a small private milestone, and the stone there was pale where she'd worried it smooth. Two hundred sixty-five days to go. More than a third of the way. She should have felt proud. Instead she felt the way a swimmer feels at the middle of a wide cold lake. Too far from either shore to stop.

His precious Monique, with her perfect posture and her crazy ass smile. It beeped again, wrong. I stared at the screen. One attempt left, and if I got this wrong I was walking out of here with nothing. Five years of waiting, planning for this perfect moment—all of it, for nothing. I typed the last thing I had. It was a long shot though. A ridiculous, embarrassing, completely illogical long shot. “Zara Solis.” My heart skipped two beats as I typed it in. The folder opened. I sat there for a full minute, staring at the screen as my mind reeled in confusion.

I tried to slam the door, but a reporter jammed it open. "Ms. Madison, did you have postpartum depression after giving birth?" "Have you been reading too many switched-at-birth stories?" "Why are you so obsessed with DNA tests that you're draining your savings?" The questions kept coming. I said nothing. I glanced at Wesley. A flicker of guilt crossed his eyes. But as they kept talking, his face hardened, turning more and more indignant. So he called them. After all this time, he'd hit his limit.

Halfway across, my foot slipped slightly and my arms flailed. I could break my neck if I fall from this height and Isobel would be so glad. “Graceful!” she snapped. “I’m about to die!” “Balance.” “I’m balancing!” Barely. I reached the end and jumped down. “Done.” “Again.” My eye twitched in annoyance. “Again?” “Until it looks natural.” Ten attempts later, I was sweating and slightly murderous. On the eleventh try I took a bad step and my ankle twisted, the world tilted.

A c‌old sweat ran down my ba⁠ck, a‍nd my v⁠ision swam, and I‍ tasted blood on my to​ng‌ue where I had⁠ bitte‍n‍ it. That was w​hen I​ really I could‍ not⁠ hold the‌ whole of‍ it. ⁠Aa‌ron, I typed. It took​ three attempts. The w​all will not hold. I cannot keep‍ all of​ it. It may fall at any m‍oment. Mak‍e rea‍dy. His answer ca‌me a minute later. It was ve‍ry sho⁠rt.‍

Hindi ko alam kung anong rank na ‘ko, pero alam kong hindi pa sapat ang points na ‘to. I left the guy there, and searched for more dummies. -- “Ha… Ha.. Ha..” Hinihingal akong napaupo sa ilalim ng isang puno. Pagod na ‘ko. Madami na rin ang mga napatay kong dummies. 750 pts na ang nakukuha ko. I won’t stop, paabutin ko ‘to ng 1,000. Marami din akong nakabungguan na participants, nang-aagaw ng points. Pero siyempre hindi ako papatalo.

Xiao Yao said mocking the user a bit, after all, achieving a perfect ranking is only possible in the tutorial. "Tutorial? I didn't have a tutorial, when I woke up in the middle of the war of some ancient empire with the sword stuck in my belly the system I was given announced the mistake of being sent there... Well, it's a long story, I did it win and the lord god apparently to apologize let me have the maximum score. I'm the only SSS rank user, of course, I stole the core of that world, and I was going to destroy... Cough... Cough... well, that's it”
