The First

I don't need strength that much , let's focus on endurance.

The screen confirms his decision:

[250 FLOW INVESTED IN ENDURANCE]

Endurance: 12

A Sudden surge of power is felt in both his Abs and heart, It's as if his heartrate is gradually decreasing.

fuck, only 5 more points in endurance does this much? I feel so much.. sturdier?

With a satisfied nod, he closes the stats menu, ready to face what comes next.

Almost immediately a new notification flashes Infront of him.

[NEW MISSION ADDED]

A new mission? I wonder what it is this time..

The last mission was easy enough.

He opens up the missions tab.

[MISSION: ELIMINATE MONEY SCOTT]

He scoffs aloud. The name surprises him, A cheap stage name for a wannabe rapper.

Money Scott? is that a rapper name..lame ass name.

He takes out his phone and types out the name Money Scott into the search bar.

The searches include many unnecessary stuff like useless articles and some rekkit posts, but he notices a certain link–A reference to Studio Poly.

Studio Poly!? That's the studio that dropped me.. Atleast now I have a reason for killing him.

His mind flashes back to the horrible treatment the studio had given him.

He opens up the link.

The website loads, and a headline catches his attention.

"New amateur rapper hits the list of top 10 upcoming rappers of the year" – "His Freestyles are just out of this world, Keep up with him on his growing spot-"

His eyes are narrow in disbelief.

he's actually a successful rapper? what a shame..

Before he can dwell further, the system suddenly interrupts with the following message.

[A NEW OPP HAS BEEN ADDED]

I guess I should check out the opps tab..

Realizing that he hadn't explored all the tabs, he closes the message quickly by clicking on the X, and then proceeds by navigating to the Opps tab and opens it up.

A brand new rectangular menu has been opened up.

The interface is dark and minimalist, it includes many shadowy silhouettes of people lined up next to eachother with text underneath each one.

The first silhouette has the following text underneath.

Name: Money Scott

Attributes: Blessed Freestyling

Weakness: Gullible

shit this is a cheat code..

He glances at the other silhouettes but notices that the text underneath is blurred out.

I guess I'll figure who those are in the future.

For now I have to keep tabs on the studio where he works, shouldn't be hard...

He rents out a bike with some remaining money he had in his payfriend account.

He rides the bike quite a large distance to the Studio that once held his dreams, now a stark reminder of betrayal.

He arrives at the horrid place where he once worked sneakily not trying to be caught scoping out the area.

While he was hiding cautiously, A young man is seen walking about of a studio.

The man is a Caucasian male with brown hair and good fit body, he seems to be hiding himself with a black hat.

A notification appears suddenly Infront of him.

[OPP FOUND]

[INFO ADDED:MONEY SCOTT]

He navigates to the Opps tab and notices that the once darkened silhouette has been changed to a picture of the same man he was just looking at.

The man thinks outloud

"So that's money Scott huh.. I wonder where's he's headed."

Money Scott goes to a nearby coffee shop, A pretty bland looking coffee shop, not too many people but still some elderly people and young college students.

Money Scott heads inside and orders a drink Marcus assumes.

Marcus talks a good look at Money Scott ordering and notices something very slight, it's almost like him and the barista know eachother.

As Marcus continues observing, he confirms his suspicions, Money scott kissed the barista on the cheek and left the shop.

Marcus got an idea.

Marcus waited until the afternoon, The time the barista finished her shift.

He noticed the nametag she wore, it spelled Mary.

What a nice name... How pitiful.

Marcus got a ski mask out of his pocket, wore it and ran to her with a machete.

"DO NOT SAY A SINGLE WORD!! OR I'LL KILL YOU!"

The woman responded almost immediately falling to her feet horrified.

"OK!! Ok..just don't hurt me I got kids!!!"

Kids..? Are they his..

Marcus almost felt bad, but of course he quickly dismissed it.

He held a handkerchief to her mouth until she passed out.

He slowly dragged her away, making sure not to accidentally hit her head.

Thinking he lucked out, he hears footsteps coming towards him.

It was a man, very large bod, almost 7ft.

He muttered deeply.

"Hey, What do you think your doing.."

Marcus clearly intimidated thought quickly, taking out his machete, He tried slicing his neck.

Immediately startled the unknown man tripped while dodging the machete.

Should I kill him? tsk.. It's not worth it.

Before he could change his mind a system notification appears.

[Killing Quack (A RANK OPP) WILL REWARD YOU WITH AN -S RANK- SKILL]

Damn I can't refuse that...

Marcus strikes down 'Quack' violently with his machete.

As the man tries to plead for mercy, all Marcus can think about is that S rank skill.

The man finally stops pleading, his eyes rolled back.

He died.

[S RANK SKILL ACQUIRED]

[SKILL:PAIN DISTRIBUTION]
