《The Last Player》chapter 3
Advertisement
While walking out of the bar, Allen was suddenly confronted by a large, burly man.
Behind him is a black-haired woman who looks like the woman in Allen's cellphone wallpaper photo
"Hey, bastard. Where do you think you're going?" The man's inner voice. pointing straight at Allen
'They...' Allen suddenly remembered. 30 years ago, today. was the worst day that traumatized him for months.
"What do you want?" Allen replied in a cold tone, looking at the woman behind him with a happy face carrying a lot of shopping bags
"Yu shin... so it's you" Allen said, looking intently into his girlfriend's eyes.
"hehe, look at me. Now I can buy expensive things, different when I was with you" Yu Shin mocked. because of this commotion, some people in the distance watched and some approached
"Ah.. he is a bastard who made my Yu Shin tormented in poverty for 3 years..." The big man said, clenching his fists.
"hey you... if you kneel down and lick my shoes, I'll set you free, how about that?" The man said, lowered Allen and then spat on the ground. told Allen to lick it
...
'These bastards...'
Allen was getting angry. for 3 years, he always struggled to buy what his girlfriend wanted. but today she turned to a rich man and threw him away
but seeing this incident, Allen was not angry anymore like in the past. in the past he had been beaten so badly that he had to go home with a battered face
but it felt like right now he wasn't afraid of anything. Allen then smirked and opened his mouth to say
"what if you did it? i would consider not hitting that bald head of yours" Allen said mockingly with a slight giggle
"Hey, look at that. Isn't he a member of the mad tiger gang?"
"that man will die, mad tiger is a gang that has many members and they are also known as a criminal gang"
"I better go before this problem gets bigger" the onlookers thought Allen was crazy. Interfering with criminal gangs is same like digging your own grave
"Haha... this bastard.." The big man said then was silent for a while. but without anyone noticing, a fist was directly aimed at Allen without warning
"You arrogant bastard! Die over there, you poor bastard!"
...
thump!
but contrary to people's expectations, Allen who looks thin and lacks fighting ability, withstands the big man's punch with one hand
"You..." the big man became even angrier. he then pull his other hand, wanting to deploy another punch

'he's an amateur' Allen mumbled. there is a difference in movement between martial arts professionals and amateurs
when going to hit, ordinary people will take a stance and then hit. but that move will give the enemy a chance to move first
if it's like this...
Before the punch could land on Allen, suddenly a powerful kick came from the big man's left side. hit his head and made him sway for a moment
"asshole!" The man was getting angrier, but at that moment he came to his senses and looked at Allen. what he saw was a fist aimed straight at his face
"W-wait-!"
before he could speak, the punch hit the bald man's face. made him fall and fall on the ground
...
the onlookers couldn't believe it and were silent for a moment.
meanwhile at the scene of the fight. people looked at Allen with disbelieving faces. a thin young man beats a criminal gang member, this news is sure to spread fast and make the mad tiger gang angry.
"I-I.." Yu Shin is also surprised. she just bumped into the guy and with just a few piles of money she fall on that man, but now what happened? Allen has really become a very different person
"Go and don't ever show your face in front of me. From now on we have no relationship" Allen said, looking at Yu Shin who was scared
Yu Shin then quickly ran away, covering his face because he was embarrassed to have been seen as a cheap bitch by the people around
...
"Hah ... now the first problem has been solved" Allen then walked away and away from the scene. leaving the bald man alone in a fainting state
-
a few moments later
"Get up you bastard, you lost to a kid?" that voice came from a man with a hideous face and muscular body full of tiger tattoos
hearing that voice, the bald man immediately came to his senses and faced his leader with prostrations.
"I'm sorry chief! He used a sneaky trick to beat me!" The bald man's face was dripping with sweat.
"Trick huh.. I wonder what trick he used to humiliate our gang" Hearing the leader's words, the bald man became more and more scared and worried
"Jord" the leader said to the man beside him
"yes, chief"
"find that guy and bring him to me"
"Okay, Chief"
..
"And you..." the bald man was getting more scared and resigned to his fate
"Take him... he will serve sentence number 29A" when hearing sentence number 29A, the bald man and other members who were on the spot were shocked with disbelief and pity for the bald man

"Please sir! I will do anything! Please don't punish me! I will definitely carry him with my own hands!" The bald man prostrated himself, asking for forgiveness.
The leader who saw this then let out a smile and said
"Okay, I'll give you a chance this time. But if you fail..."
suddenly the aura around changes, the bald man doesn't even have the strength to lift his head
"Okay, chief!"
'You son of a bitch, I will surely make you miserable like hell'

Meanwhile, Allen has arrived at his room
when he entered, he only saw a room measuring 5×7 meters with an old laptop and a mattress. other than that there is only a wardrobe and bathroom.
"I'm really back .." Allen just smiled bitterly. Previously he lived in a luxury villa with rooms full of expensive furniture. but right now he's back in his small apartment
but shortly after, Allen's phone rang, the caller's name was White.
'White...' Seeing White's name on the cellphone screen, Allen remembered the past.
it was a happy moment. they explored the world of Creatia together with other party members. complete dungeons, do quests together to fight the same enemy.
but unfortunately at that time White could not continue playing Creatia due to lung cancer. and a few years later he was reported to have died
this was a heavy blow for Allen and his party. and because of this incident, more and more time passed. their party was finally disbanded. some have reasons to switch professions and some have lost their passion for playing
even so Allen remains loyal to the world of Creatia. been a solo player for more than 10 years, seeing the game progress getting worse and worse.
"I won't let that happen" Allen made up his mind. he then steeled his heart and picked up the phone
"hello? oh, Allen. are you home yet? sorry for leaving you, we were very drunk earlier and went to the club next door
because saw you sleeping well so we left you for a while. and when we came back to check on you, you were gone."
White's soft voice could be heard. Allen smiled happily then said
"Ah, yeah.. it's sad to see my friends leave me, but you know I'm a forgiving person.."
"Hey, don't be so angry. I'll treat you sometime, how about that?"
"haha, it's okay. I'm just kidding, but I have a request for you"
"what's that?" white is confused. Allen had never asked for anything before, in fact he was the one who insisted on paying their drinking fees
"Keep living- no. How about we play together later?"
"what? playing? ah, you mean creatia. you always waited for it and there was news that the game would be released soon. but can you believe it?
Allen just smiled. people in the world don't know it yet, but God crown is a very mysterious developer. right at 3 days before the release they finally raised their voice in front of the public.
"Of course, I believe that the news this time is true. You tell the boys, we will meet in 30 days"
"wait, 30 days? why? hello? hello?"
tuut-tuut-
"what's wrong with him? he's really weird today"
-
yes 30 days. During that time, I have to come up with a plan.
Allen then pocketed his cellphone and went straight to his laptop.
[xc company stock is down 10%]
[byte coin is up 15%]
this is Allen's job. if you're curious about what major he took at university, then the answer is accounting.
Since childhood he lived a simple life in the village. and because of that condition he had as much interest in wealth and business as he does today.
"Hmm... I have quite a lot of assets in this company... and this..." Allen started to count all the assets he owned
after counting everything. Allen has total assets of 3000 credits (1 credit = 1 dollar).
it was all Allen's savings while he was in college while working part-time in a restaurant. saw this Allen got a brilliant idea
Allen then started selling all of his assets on the market with nothing left.
"Then .." after everything was sold, Allen then started looking into the stock tab and typing 'God crown'.
"This is so real!..." Allen couldn't believe his eyes. if this was in the past when Creatia was at its peak, 1 lot of god crown shares would be worth over 1000 credits. but currently, the price of one lot of god crown shares is only about 10 credits.
"I have an idea" Allen smiled evilly. he then invested all his assets in god crown. 3000 credits he has invested.
it doesn't end there. Allen still has other plans. but before that he had to rest himself. change his clothes and go to bed

Heavenly Flame
Every prince born in the Tian Dynasty goes through a ritual to recover memories from their previous lives. With these memories, they receive amazing cultivation techniques and martial skills that make them stand above all other men and able to rule the world from the Heavenly Court. When Tian Yan wakes up from the ritual, he realizes something is wrong and he does not seem to possess any of the advantages he was expecting. Will he be able to compete in the backstabbing, scheming, and politicking that is required to succeed his father and inherit the Imperial throne? Or even survive? After all, they stand above all other men and that means the biggest threat to a prince is the other princes. Heavenly Flame is a Xianxia story with a heavy focus on drama, relationships, and romance. It will have a lot of recognizable things from the genre but I will also try to subvert elements that I do not like about it. Scheduled chapters will be released Tuesdays at 11:00 CET and Thursdays at 19:00 CET. I might still release additional chapters depending on my other workload but these will be marked as such.
