"284 mistakes...''
Jack's POV
I read the writings on the wall that says 'I was here Jack and I wish I didn't. 284 mistakes and only one thing right happened'
I walk away confused but full of hope. So my father was really here . It's good to know I'm not wasting my time and effort.
I wonder around the place, it's mostly metallic walls with blue lamps above Lighting the way, while wandering around I see thunder.
I go over to him and apologies about getting angry at him. It's not his fault I'm here anyway, the man was just trying to help.
"It's ok buddy I understand !" He smiles at me and pats my back strongly knocking me down.
"O-ok..." I stand up again.
"Do you know that you can go out of here " he asks me m
"R-really ?!" I smile wide, two good things in a row ? I can't believe it
"Yes all you have to do is sleep" he smiled then started explaining "when you sleep here you awake at the real world and vice versa. BUT you must have completed all your battles for the day or unless it doesn't work. So sleep wisely"
I nodded quickly and looked around "where can I sleep ?"
"Here follow me" he started walking and I followed, we reached a hall with many rooms he got me in front of room '283'.
"Sleep well" he walked away, I quickly entered the room it was an exact same copy or my room in the real world even that stain on the ground is exactly the same !
I jump on bed and quickly fall asleep excited to go back.
I wake up again after what I suppose is half an hour, but...Wrong ! I looked out of the window then at my clock it was morning again and of the next day ! I'm so late for school .

I use my super speed and prepare myself fast.
I run really fast to school forgetting to eat breakfast and barely reach at time.
"That was close" I smiled and walk in school which I reached in only five minutes.
I go inside and start walking around happily but then I bump into someone... IT'S THE SAME GIRL I BUMPED INTO IN THE ARENA !!!
"Didn't I tell you to WATCH YOUR WAY !!!" She glared at me.
"That was an accident !" I glare back at her feelings a bit relived that she can't do anything supernatural Because we're between people now.
"What are you even doing here ? Are you following me ?!"
"What ?! No way you're the one that's following me ! And I'm here because I study here !"
"I study here too !" She crosses her arms and looks away.
I groan and walk away quickly not wanting to talk to that crazy girl anymore.
I walk in class and finally have something normal for once, just a regular boring math class. I'm so happy to see that face again. The face of my teacher that says 'I don't wanna be here either '
I go to my seat in the back of the class and wait for the class to start I stare at the white ceiling of the class.
I take a glance around and fall off surprised...That girl.is. sitting.right. next.to.me...Right next to me !
I give her a death stare as the rest of the class laugh at me.
She smirks taking a glance at me and looks at the teacher.
I stand up again and sit down again looking at the teacher bored.
Come on ! Fight them all or even better leave this stupid place and stay at the arena forever ! I hear the voice in my head saying.

'Sorry I can't here you over the sound of my shattered pride..' I talked to him through my thoughts holding my head in pain, every time he speaks I feel pain in addition to that his voice is really annoying...
No need to speak about my BORING day at school...I went out of school but someone grabbed me, I turned around slowly and looked at my bully, at least it wasn't that girl anymore.
He tried punching me but I dodged easily, he kept trying to hit me but I simply kept dodging, there's no way he can keep up I'll just keep dodging.
"Not so fast jack !" His friends grab me and push me down I close my eyes hopping it won't be bad but suddenly I heard screaming, I opened my eyes seeing that I'm on fire.
The bullies were badly harmed and burned.
The girl runs at me and grabs me "what are you doing !?" She dragged me away out of sight
I close my eyes and the fire goes away.
"Explain yourself !"she growls at me.
"I couldn't control it ! I was so angry I just couldn't !" I tried moving away but I was stuck in her metal grip.
"Try controlling your self ! Ok ?! " She sighed and calmed down.
I move away from her as fast as possible and go home.
-Night time-
"I can't I can't I can't..."I keep staring at the wall trying not to fall asleep. I don't want to go back. I don't want to kill another person.
Don't be a wimpy loser ! Keep fighting ! Fight ! Fight ! fight ! There no going back once you attack it's impossible to stop !
I hold my head in pain and try ignoring his words but he's right...I started this and will eventually sleep no matter how hard I try. There's no escape, and I must remember what's important finding my father.
"Yet one thing good happened... Jack...Stay strong..."

Getting Hard (Journey of a Tank)
Herald Stone always built tank characters in every MMORPG he played. To be immortal—that was his first Goal, a simple childhood dream. However, the turbulent realities of life put an end to his gaming days. Years passed, and Herald Stone, now having attained success and stability, was presented with the opportunity to redeem himself...to fulfill his first Goal. Trivial? Childish? Others might think so. But Herald Stone always fulfilled his Goals—every single one. No matter what. Immortality beckoned in Mother Core Online, and this time Herald Stone would answer. Choosing a long-forgotten race, hidden away in an unknown region, the journey of an immortal tank begins. This is the tale of Herald Stone...getting hard. Schedule: Mon-Wed-Fri ~1.8k-2.3k words per chapter. Also published on Scribblehub. My other ongoing story: REND | Royal Road Expect a focus on building a true tank in MMORPGs. Heavy game elements and numbers are present. But actual math will take a backseat to strategies involving skill builds and synergies that steadily become more complex while remaining understandable. The main character is atypical in LitRPGs or web novels as a whole. He might take some getting used to. Character arcs will develop over a long period. What you see now will be different as the main character changes. The start of Getting Hard is slow-paced (more so than others of the genre) and includes world-building and character development before focusing on the LitRPG.
