Ambitious quest [Vol-1 End]

Chapter 89 - Ambitious quest [Vol-1 End]

A purple aura suddenly burst out around Mike’s body, spreading through the warehouse in a violent wave of light. It wrapped around him from head to toe and spilled across the concrete floor, making every shadow in the room jump and twist against the walls. The purple glow became brighter by the second, strong enough to illuminate the broken crates and the scattered pieces of chain around the pillar. Claire felt the change immediately.

A cold sensation ran through her stomach as she turned her head toward Mike, and for the first time since the fight had started, she did not know what she was looking at. Whatever had just appeared inside that warehouse was something her system recognized as dangerous.

A black window suddenly slammed across Claire’s vision. The message contained only one line, but she did not need anything else to understand it.

[RUN, JUST RUN]

Claire stared at the words for less than a second before obeying. She immediately canceled the doppelganger skill with a thought, and the fake Mia body sitting in the chair disappeared without leaving a trace. Claire spun around and sprinted toward the side door, her boots slapping against the concrete as she ran. She did not stop to look behind her, did not call for Sam, and did not waste a single second trying to understand what had happened. Every instinct she had was telling her to get away from Mike as quickly as possible.

Inside the warehouse, Mike’s appearance continued to change. His eyes turned completely purple, leaving no trace of their normal color, while his hair slowly lifted from his head and floated around him as though gravity had stopped affecting his body. The torn shirt from the earlier fight suddenly burned away into nothing, exposing his chest and abdomen.

Dark markings began spreading across his skin, starting from the center of his chest before crawling outward like living ink. Within seconds, the markings formed the shape of a massive black dragon, its body coiling across his chest and down over his abs, with sharp wings stretching around his ribs. Two glowing purple eyes appeared on the dragon’s head, and the tattoo seemed to shift beneath his skin as though the creature itself were alive.

Mike slowly opened his purple eyes and looked down at the chains still holding him. He pulled once, and the heavy metal restraints snapped apart as easily as thin pieces of string. Broken links fell around his feet and clattered across the concrete.

The sound made Sam turn his head, but before he could fully understand what was happening, Mike was suddenly standing directly in front of him. He was only an inch away, and his feet were no longer touching the floor. His body hovered slightly above the concrete, completely still, as though gravity had simply stopped having any control over him. Sam's expression changed as he tried to move backward and raised his fist, but Mike's hand shot forward before he could attack and closed tightly around his throat.

Mike lifted Sam straight off the ground with one hand. Sam's feet kicked uselessly in the air as both of his hands grabbed at Mike's wrist, trying desperately to break the grip around his neck. His face quickly turned red as he struggled for air, but Mike did not say a word. His purple eyes stayed fixed on Sam while his grip remained steady. Sam's movements slowly became weaker, his hands losing their strength as his body struggled for breath. After several long seconds, his arms dropped, and his body went limp. Mike finally opened his hand and released him, allowing Sam's body to fall heavily onto the concrete.

Outside the warehouse, Claire reached Sam's black BMW with shaking hands. She nearly dropped the keys before managing to unlock the door, then climbed inside and slammed it shut behind her. Her hands trembled as she started the engine, and tears continued running down her face as she stared through the windshield toward the warehouse.

She knew she could not go back. Whatever had happened inside had frightened her enough to make her abandon everything and run. “Sorry, Sam. I am really sorry,” she whispered as she tightened her hands around the steering wheel. “I am sorry, Sam. I will definitely avenge you.” She repeated the words again and again as she slammed the car into gear and sped away from the warehouse district, never once looking back.

Inside the warehouse, Sam’s naked body lay motionless on the concrete. There were no bruises on his skin, no cuts, and no visible injuries that could explain what had happened to him. His body looked almost untouched, yet his chest never rose again. He was not breathing. The warehouse slowly became silent, with only the faint sound of the wind outside passing through the broken windows. Eve was gone, Mike was gone, and Claire had escaped, leaving Sam’s body alone on the cold floor.

Mike appeared inside his dorm room with Eve still in his arms. The purple aura was gone, and his eyes had returned to their normal color. His hair settled back into place, and his feet rested normally on the floor again. The strange power that had transformed him seemed to have disappeared completely, but one thing remained.

The massive black dragon tattoo was still spread across his chest and abdomen, its glowing purple eyes now faint against his skin. Mike carefully lowered Eve onto the bed and watched her for a moment. She was still naked and blindfolded, shifting restlessly beneath the sheets as soft words escaped her lips. “More… please… fuck me more… creampie me again, Mike,” Mike said nothing. He did not want her to know that it had been Sam before, so he climbed onto the bed and took his place instead.

Afterward, Mike remained beside Eve until her breathing slowed. He carefully removed the blindfold and wiped her clean before pulling the blanket over her body. Eve did not wake. Her eyes remained closed as she drifted deeper into sleep, a small satisfied smile resting on her lips.

Mike sat on the edge of the bed and stared at the wall, his mind returning to everything that had happened that night. Claire had a system. Mia was alive. Sam was dead. His own abilities had been sealed, and something completely different had taken their place. Most importantly, he still did not understand what Agora was or why he had needed to sacrifice boxing to obtain it.

Mike finally called the system inside his mind. “Tell me what that was.” The system answered almost immediately, its voice as calm as ever.

[Well, that was a power you get.]

Mike stared at the wall for several seconds before looking down at the dragon tattoo covering his chest. “Yeah, I know,” he said. “But why the fuck does someone need that power? In a world like this, why do I need a power like this?” The system did not answer directly. Instead, a new message appeared in front of his eyes.

[Save Mia and I will tell you that as well.]

Mike's expression changed as soon as he read the message. His thoughts immediately returned to the warehouse, to the moment he had believed Mia was dead, and the shock of seeing her standing behind him with an iron rod in her hands, and then the reveal that it was a doppelganger all this time.

Before he could ask anything else, another system window opened beneath the first. A purple glow spread across the interface as a new set of words appeared.

[Ambitious Quests Acquired]

Mike's eyes moved down the screen and stopped at the first quest.

[Quest One: Fuck a high-class woman in a week.]

Mike stared at the words without moving. The strange dragon tattoo remained across his chest, its purple eyes faintly glowing in the darkness of the room. He slowly looked from the quest to the tattoo and then back to the system window, but no answer came. The message simply remained there in front of him, waiting.

And for the first time, Mike realized that whatever had happened inside the warehouse was not the end of something.

It was the beginning of something he did not understand yet.
