We were in the lobby of a casino. I was shouting a little because I was genuinely pissed about this. People started staring. I looked around at them. For the first time I wasn't nervous or shaking with these people looking at me. My anxiety wasn't taking over me. I didn't wanna go lock myself in a room and just whisper to myself. For the first time I wasn't scared of myself or anyone. I felt amazing. I felt like a real person.
He finally decided to speak,''Because I'm always about myself and my needs. I wanted to see if helping someone would make me a better person. I wanna become a better person.'' Everyone was still staring at us. It's like we became a show. ''Well obviously it didn't work.'' I said. He put his head down and whispered,''I'm sorry'' enough for me to hear him. ''Well I just wasted 5 minutes of my 6 hours left so I'm gonna get back to my mission.'' I explained.  He just stood there. I started to walk out and so did the crowd of people watching us. As soon as I walked out of the casino, I felt a tap on my shoulder. I thought it was Pike coming to join me again but it was something better. ''I seen you at some other casino's earlier, I know what you're doing.

The owner of Tadashi, the world famous sports car company.

74 parts Ongoing

When the truth comes out, there's nowhere left to run. Season 3 of Eliona's War *** When Seth received a new virtual reality video game from his uncle, he wasn't expecting to get swept up into a whole new world called Eliona. As it turned out, Eliona and its people are far more dangerous than Seth could ever have imagined. There is a real consequence to playing this game: it's changing him, and it might not be for the better. Now that Seth/Severance knows the truth of Eliona, there's no going back. Eliona is dying, and in order to save it, he needs to beat a very difficult dungeon before anyone else does. And on Earth, things are even worse. It's come to light that Eliona is leaving a mark on its players, and suddenly, everyone wants to be involved. Players find themselves with a target on their back, and Seth? He might just have the biggest one of all. Too bad for them, he's done running. *** Weekly updates on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Wait & read for free, or unlock with coins-the choice is yours!
