The rhythm under the lamp

I'm Kenny Clark,
German Descent.
This is Miami, city of paradise, the City of Sin.
Socialites packed in, drug lords running loose.
This is the world of money and power, the realm of guns and death.
This is the playground for opportunities and adventurers, the abyss of despair and helplessness.
I'm just a kid from the chaotic slums.
Until one day, fate underwent a dramatic change.
My VR game turned into reality!
My life has become one game instance after another!
I can get everything!
Passing the game instance, my physical fitness improves and I can gain countless abilities.
Lock picking, piano, hand-to-hand combat, shooting...
Until I'm standing at the top of the human pyramid.
Wealth, power, women, they'll all become my prey.

My Realistic Adult Game

"Hold your fire! I got hostage, so back off!"


The young man stared intently at Stella, the barrel of the gun aimed at Kim's forehead.


"OK, OK, EASY!" Stella slowly lowered her hand from the gun handle. She looked at me somewhat strangely.


I took a drag from my cigarette. This was the last situation I wanted to see. The young man could have left, but the female officer's intervention made the situation chaotic.


Without the police, the young rookie would be easy to deal with because if he just left, no one would be in trouble, but now it's different.


Even if the rookie didn't kill anyone or intentionally cause harm, robbery itself is a serious charge.


Moreover, the female officer could very likely shoot him.


The female officer shouted at me. She retreated to the entrance of the convenience store and pressed her intercom.


"Upper East Side, convenience store at the corner of Third Street encountering a robbery, situation A5, repeat, A5."
