“How do you know them—mostly Riley?!” Jack’s grip tightened.
Eli’s hand wrapped around Jack’s arm.
“J-Jack… it hurts,” Eli grits his teeth, but Jack’s grip does not loosen.
“Answer me!”
Jack shifts his weight, delivering a punch toward Eli’s gut. Spittle spewed from Eli’s mouth as he doubled down. The air whooshed out his lungs. Jack raised a leg and swung it to the left.
Ding!
[New Emergency Quest!]
Quest: Survive (0/1)
<Reward: [Platinum Card]>
Eli’s head snapped to the left as blood danced in the air. Eli’s hand shot out to grab his nose, and his hand trembled.
“You’re dead to me,” Jack grabbed Eli’s collar. He raised his fist.
Thwack!
Thwack!
Thwack!
Blood splattered on the floor as the punches rolled in.
“You want to play bully, huh? Is that why you joined the council? That’s why you know Riley, huh.”
S-shit… I’m fucked. My [Gold Card]… reveal!

Eli’s hand shot out to poke Jack’s eyes. Eli slips out and stands up. His breathing steadies as Jack’s eyes widen.
“You can’t be using… that, Eli?” Jack’s hand curled into a tight fist. Jack needed to test it. His fist shot out, and his eyes widened as Eli’s body swayed.
“You ARE using that. Where did you learn it?” Jack questioned as his gaze met Eli’s gaze.
Jack shifts his weight, trying to deliver a hammering punch to Eli’s ribs. Eli’s body swayed and rotated. Eli’s elbow met Jack’s cheek.
“Unfortunately, you’re still weak, Eli. You might be using that, but what’s the point if you aren’t strong,” Jack lunged at Eli, throwing punches.
Eli’s body swayed and dodged the punches. Eli leaps into the air and swings his leg toward Jack’s head.
Jack’s palm wrapped around Eli’s foot. “Enough—?!”
Eli dislocated his foot, and he swung his other leg. Jack lets go of Eli’s dislocated foot. Eli pops his foot back into its place.
“No, this is something more sinister. This isn’t you. Who are you—“
Jack’s eyes widened at the flying knife. He clutched the blade. The blade sliced through his palm as red liquid slithered down his wrist. He throws the knife on the floor.
“Don’t ever come back to this house, ever. You’re kicked out,” Jack’s demeanor changed as he sauntered over to Eli. He looked down to meet Eli’s gaze.
Jack shifts his weight, throwing a punch. Eli swayed away from the punch, but Jack’s fist opened, grabbing Eli’s collar. Jack spun Eli around before launching him to the wall.
Eli’s shirt rips from the spinning, and his back hits the wall. Jack lunged at Eli, and he threw a punch. Eli leaps into the air, and Jack’s palm is wrapped around his foot. Eli dislocated his foot and swung his other leg.
“That won’t work,” Jack’s free hand grabbed Eli’s other foot.
He slammed Eli onto the floor, and Eli’s head snapped back. Jack lets go of his feet and slams his fist on Eli’s face. Eli rolled away and popped his foot back into its place.
“One full-force punch from me will kill you. Don’t make me do it,” Jack ducks under, Jack shifts his body upwards, delivering a hammering uppercut to Eli’s chin.
Blood splatters as Eli’s feet lift from the floor. Jack’s palm wrapped around Eli’s face before slamming it to the ground. Jack lifts Eli from the floor, and Eli’s foot dangles.
Jack lets go of Eli’s face before delivering a straight punch to Eli’s midsection. Eli’s body hurled through the kitchen before crashing into the wooden table, shattering it.
“This is where it stops, and this is where it ends,” Jack’s steps echoed in the kitchen, his hands inside his pockets. Jack’s gaze met Eli’s unconscious state, and Eli’s eyes rolled back, showing the whites of his eyes.
Jack bent down and grabbed Eli’s foot, and he started to drag his body out of the kitchen. He throws Eli’s unconscious body out of the house, slamming the door.
Jack sat on the couch, the cushions sinking slightly from his bottom. “That… little shit was vigorous, and one day, he will be strong like me,” Jack’s hand went through his black locks.
[Next Day]
Eli’s eyes fluttered open; he was outside, slumping on a wall. His body was marked with bruises and dried blood.
“What the hell happened… I was—I activated the [How to Fight] card,” Eli slowly stood up, wincing in pain.
“I can’t go back home… Jack will kill me,” Eli’s shoulders slumped. He inspected his body; he had no shirt on.
“What a precarious situation,” Eli’s cheeks flushed.
Eli pulls out his phone, checking the time. Shit… looks like I skipped school today, Eli thought as he sighed.
I should do my training instead of doing nothing, Eli thought as he started to walk to the park. Eli reached the park and started doing pushups.
[Few Hours Later]
What’s my life come to? Eli questioned as he lay on the concrete ground, sweating profusely. He slowly sat up, scratching the back of his head. I have no money, no job, no shirt, no house. Eli thought as he stood up. Open system.

That’s a [Platinum Card]? It looks pretty good, Eli thought. I need money… Eli thought. He turned his heel and walked towards Jack’s house. Eli peered through the window and saw no one. He opens a window and steps in, and the floor creaks.
