Novel & Cerita Overcoming Odds

Nothing but the echo of a memory. At eighteen, these same two men had fought over the chance to have me as their partner at their coming-of-age ceremony. They had tripped over each other planting roses in my honor, hoping to win my favor. Now, their devotion belonged to someone else, and my heart had long since gone numb. I refused to watch Lisa pretend to be kind. “Don’t worry. I wouldn’t marry either of you scumbags, nor would I ever let you be associated with me,” I said coldly.

Like dogs smelling profit, they rushed over without hesitation, trying to tear a piece off me. However, during those hundred days of playing the heir, I had used the Zimmermans’ money to learn freestyle fighting. When my mother swung a liquor bottle at my head, I kicked her away in one strike. In truth, she wasn’t that terrifying. It was only because the old me had been too weak. However, now I was independent and strong. I had pulled myself out of the mud with my own hands. They bullied the weak and feared the strong. When they realized they couldn’t beat me, they switched to moral blackmail.

"I love Natasha so much, and I know you love her too. But u can't save someone whose problem are bigger than yours. Michael's eyes snapped up, a protest on his lips. "But_" Tracy cut him off, her hand on his shoulder. "Listen, Mike. We aren't from the same world. The LEEs are .... they play by different rules. You'll get hurt. You're an artist, Michael. You have dreams, and ur family depends on u. Don't let someone else's drama ruin them". Michael's jaw set, his eyes flashing with defiance. "I can handle it, mom. I care about her a lot".

We were going to make this work this time. Against all odds.

The man groaned and cursed, as he struggled to restrain me. When he finally secured my wrist over my head with a cuff, and straddled my hips, with his leg holding mine so I couldn't move, we both exhaled, me in surrender and him in exhaustion, and I realized why when I saw the blood dripping down his arm, his thigh, and lower abdomen. But he was strong. He had three bullets in him and yet he still easily overpowered me. "Where's the video... Tell me and I might spare your life" he said, his voice sounding like that of the dead. He was a killer and I knew I wasn't going to get out alive even if I gave him the flash drive.

Liam announced "The only reason she was getting married to you today, was because of that wealth, because she wanted to bring all of you on streets. She would have snatched everything from us, and then would have kicked us out of the house, and I couldn't let that happen, bro. Do you know why? Because I know the feeling of being kicked out of the house, and disowned. Our old man, might have disowned you for this woman, but you knew deep down that he will get over it. Why? Becuase you were his favorite son, like always, while I was the rebel, the bad guy, the criminal of the family who was left out on streets to die.

Thinking back to my experience in the world, I shook my head. “I’m not going back.” The only thing on my mind was going home. The System didn’t push me since my quest was complete. With the reward taking hold, the damage from the car crash on my body was undone. My parents called him, their voices thick with emotion when they told me they’d won the lottery. I stepped into the house, only for my pet dog to jump into my arms. My parents were already waiting with dinner on the table. Life was normal again. During the final check-in, the System reported that the four male leads had shifted the blame onto one another and fought over my death. The world fell apart as a result.

“Every challenge that occurs contributes to the surrounding duelists’ odds. It’s really just spectators speculating on duelists’ skills. As rankings change and Seeds change hands, so do the odds.” Eva looked off to the side and thought about that for a moment. They could easily manipulate the odds. Or, at least to some degree. “That kinda implies that if I challenge a Reborn,” she said, “my odds are going to skyrocket. Isn’t that a good thing for us?” “Sure,” answered Alevos, “higher risk equals higher odds. Higher pot, too.” “Simple as that?” “No, not that simple,” interjected Szereth. “Higher risk means higher chances for loss. Taking on a Reborn is going to end in tragedy. For us, for you
