《Heatline: The Stolen Fate》 The beginning **When I opened my eyes with difficulty, the light before me was strange¡ªnot like the usual sunlight, but brighter, yet soft on the eyes. I took a deep breath and slowly sat up on the bed. My head was pounding with an unfamiliar pain. I tried to recall the last thing I did. Ah yes, I was playing my favorite game, Heatline." I whispered to myself in a faint voice, "After finishing it and watching the ending, I turned off the device and went to sleep... So what is happening now?" While I was lost in thought, a strange and deep voice interrupted my musings. "System synchronization initiated..." Before I could fully grasp what was happening, a transparent blue screen appeared, floating in the air. The black letters on it seemed to pulse as if alive. "System synchronization: 50%" I watched the screen in shock as the percentage steadily rose. "75%... 90%... 100%" Finally, the screen disappeared, and the strange voice returned again: "Steal System activated." I said in a trembling voice, "Steal System? What the hell is that?" But the system completely ignored my question. The voice returned, clearer this time: "You are now inside the world of the game Heatline. To survive, you must marry the heroines and establish physical relationships with them, whether they are good or evil."If you spot this narrative on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation. The voice stopped, as if giving me a moment to digest the shock. I stayed silent, but inside, I was screaming. Finally, I said aloud: "What...? Are you telling me...? Have I been transported into the world of Heatline?" The game... Heatline. That obscure game I loved so much. The reason? It''s obvious¡ªthe intimate scenes were incredibly exciting. Damn it! The story wasn''t bad either. It revolved around the protagonist, named Virus, and his journey of building relationships with the heroines, making love to them, and then continuing his quest to defeat the forces of evil. It was a clich¨¦ story, sure, but still, it had its charm. But now... I¡¯m here? Inside the game? The voice returned again, as if confirming my suspicions: "That¡¯s correct. To interact with your personal information, simply say ''Status Window'' in your mind." I quickly said, "Status Window." A new screen appeared before me, filled with information: --- Name: Cayron Evernight Age: 16 years Lineage: Locked Skills: Eagle Vision: Allows you to see the affection levels of heroines and uncover hidden truths (Upgradeable). Magical Abilities: Almost non-existent System Shop: Locked (Will unlock upon meeting the first heroine). System Points: 0 (Earned by building affection with heroines and engaging in intimate activities). --- I stared at the screen in indescribable shock. The words before me felt like a bad joke. "Are you saying I am now Cayron Evernight? The second son of Duke Evernight? The handsome guy infamous for his cunning actions and disgraceful reputation? And now I¡¯m here, inside the game? Damn it!" I sat on the bed, holding my head in my hands, trying to process the situation. Memories of Cayron¡¯s character began to flood my mind. He wasn¡¯t just known for his looks, but also for the horrible actions that had tarnished his reputation. "Oh God, how am I supposed to live here? Everyone hates me. Every character in the game, whether it¡¯s the heroines or the side characters, sees me as an arrogant fool. And this system... Damn it, do I really have to court the heroines?" I tried to calm myself and remembered what the system said. "The System Shop is locked... The first heroine..." I lifted my gaze and looked around the room for the first time. It was large and luxurious, filled with elegant, classical furniture. The bed I was sitting on was covered in silk sheets, and the walls were adorned with old paintings. It felt like I was in a medieval castle. But before I could explore further, I heard a knock on the door. "Master Cayron, it¡¯s time to prepare for your meeting with the Duke, your father." I gasped in fear. "The Duke...? My father?!" New page! "Alright, I''ll be there soon," I calmly replied to the servant. I allowed myself to glance around the room. It was luxurious, befitting the son of a duke. The walls were adorned with gleaming golden patterns, the ornate furniture, and the bed that looked as if it was made for royalty. "A room like this could make anyone feel like a king... but it means nothing if you''re trapped in a crazy game," I muttered to myself with a sarcastic smile, snapping back to the reality of the situation. --- I couldn¡¯t stop thinking about the main mission the system had laid out. So, I asked it directly: "System, what happens if I can''t form the harem?" The usual cold voice appeared, devoid of any emotion: "Main Mission:" Mission Description: Marry the heroines, whether they are good or evil. Reward: A happy and blissful harem life. Punishment: Death in the most gruesome way possible and eternal imprisonment in the Soul Prison. A pang hit my stomach as I read the punishment. I sighed, then smiled bitterly. "Of course, nothing comes free. This world knows nothing of mercy." I moved to the large mirror fixed beside the wardrobe and cautiously stood before it. When I saw my reflection for the first time, it felt as though my soul froze for a moment. Silver hair, flowing perfectly over my shoulders. Cold, wintry blue eyes that radiated both calm and danger. My height of 188 cm made me look like the star of a legendary tale.This narrative has been purloined without the author''s approval. Report any appearances on Amazon. I whispered in awe, "My God... I''m so handsome! I might even rival the main protagonist." Then I chuckled softly. After a moment of reflection, I chose a silver robe with black accents that matched my striking appearance, adding simple touches to give it a formal vibe. --- I left the room and began walking through the palace''s long corridors. The gleaming marble floors reflected my image while the paintings hanging on the walls told stories of the Evernight family''s glories. During this, I started pondering about the world of Heatline. This world wasn¡¯t fair. A single continent, yet three times larger than Earth. Divided among different races, each race controlled its own region, with a neutral zone where everyone could gather. At the center of it all stood the Neutral Academy¡ªthe only place where different races could learn and interact without conflict. But the worst thing about this world was the main protagonist... That damn guy, blessed with a mix of all races and extraordinary talent in both magic and swordsmanship. And me? I barely had any magical talent, and my body could barely lift a sword. I sighed deeply, "This world is full of injustice, but I won¡¯t give up." --- I stopped before the massive ornate door and knocked lightly. "Enter." I cautiously pushed the door open and stepped inside to find my father, Max Evernight, seated behind his desk. His silver hair and silver eyes reflected his nobility and grace. I smiled faintly and said, "Good morning, Father." He looked at me for a moment before speaking coldly, "I heard from the servants that you assaulted a maid." I froze in place, question marks swirling in my head. "What?! I didn¡¯t do anything like that!" "Really?" My father asked skeptically, raising an eyebrow. I felt anger bubbling inside me. "Do you trust the servants more than your own son?" My father sighed and then said, "As I told you before, Kyron, only three months remain before you enter the academy. Now, you must begin improving yourself." --- Deep down, I knew the academy was my only chance to prove myself. It wasn¡¯t just a place for learning but a platform for creating a new future. --- My father continued, "Your body is weak, and your magical power is nearly non-existent. If you don¡¯t start training now, you¡¯ll become a disgrace to the family." I looked at him confidently and said, "I¡¯ll start training today." He looked at me in surprise and asked, "Are you serious?!" I smiled and replied, "Of course. I want to leave behind all the bad things I¡¯ve done and start fresh." My father laughed loudly and said, "That¡¯s my son! Do your best, and I¡¯ll always be by your side." --- I left the office and headed to the training grounds. The grounds were vast, filled with equipment and weapons. I watched the soldiers training fiercely, then looked at my thin body. "This body needs a lot of work," I muttered to myself, feeling determination welling up inside me. The new mana ring When I arrived at the training ground, I began to hear the whispers of the soldiers around me: "What is the young master doing here? He''s so weak; he can barely hold a sword." "I heard he plans to go to the academy. Is that the reason?" "But the remaining time is so short. How can he achieve anything?" Their whispers were like needles piercing my ears, but they didn¡¯t affect me. I had one goal now: to increase my magical power by any means necessary. --- In this world, everyone is born with a mana ring around their heart. It¡¯s the core engine that allows the use of magic, but it also defines a person¡¯s limits. For me, my ring was incredibly weak. It¡¯s the reason I could barely use basic ice magic. But I know a secret that few others do. In the game, there was a special event in the story where the player discovers they can destroy their mana ring and rebuild it, unlocking limitless potential. The problem? The process is fraught with danger. Many who tried it ended up dead, but I don¡¯t have the luxury of fear. --- A clear goal: to master all elements. I want to be able to control every magical element: Fire Ice WindEnsure your favorite authors get the support they deserve. Read this novel on the original website. Water Earth Light Darkness --- I headed to the family vault, a massive square building with walls covered in engravings of the Evernight family crest. When I entered, I was greeted by an attendant in formal attire, who bowed and said, ¡°Welcome, young master. How can I assist you today?¡± I looked at him confidently and said, ¡°I¡¯m here to retrieve the seven elemental potions.¡± His eyes widened in clear astonishment. ¡°The elemental potions? But¡­ why would you need them? You already have an element, don¡¯t you?¡± I smirked coldly. ¡°I don¡¯t think that¡¯s your concern. Bring the seven potions.¡± He was silent for a moment, then said, ¡°Very well, sir. I¡¯ll fetch them immediately.¡± --- As he left to retrieve the potions, I couldn¡¯t stop myself from thinking about his surprise. In this world, it¡¯s almost impossible for someone to possess more than one element. Even the most talented individuals can barely master two. And me? I was known as the weak and pitiful son. Someone no one expected to achieve anything. ¡°But they¡¯ll find out soon enough¡­¡± I muttered to myself with a confident smile. The attendant returned moments later, carrying a set of glass tubes filled with glowing liquids. Each potion glowed with a color representing its element: red for fire, blue for ice, green for wind, and so on. ¡°These are the potions you requested, young master,¡± he said as he carefully placed them in front of me. I took them and thanked him, then left the vault. --- My room was soundproof, a necessity. What I was about to do wasn¡¯t just an experiment; it was a battle with death. I closed the door tightly and sat on the bed, placing the potions beside me. ¡°Well¡­ the process is simple but dangerous. First, I¡¯ll destroy the old mana ring. Then, before the pain overwhelms me, I¡¯ll drink the seven potions one by one. The result? A new mana ring capable of controlling all the elements.¡± --- I sat in a meditative position, closed my eyes, and focused on my heartbeat. I felt the mana ring slowly revolving around it. It was weak and limited, just as I expected. To destroy it, I needed to exhaust all the magic in my body. I began using my only spell: ice. ¡°The only spell I have creates a tiny snowball about 2 cm in size¡­ even a child can do better than this!¡± I muttered angrily as I cast the spell repeatedly. With every cast, I felt the mana ring spinning faster. My body began to sweat, and my chest burned as if it were on fire. --- At a certain moment, I felt something break inside me. The mana ring shattered. The pain was indescribable. "Ahhh!" I screamed loudly, blood starting to drip from my eyes and nose. Quickly, I grabbed the first potion and drank it. Fire coursed through my body. I felt like I was burning from the inside out, but I persisted. I drank the second potion, then the third. With each potion, the pain multiplied. --- As I was on the verge of collapse, I began to feel something new forming around my heart. The seven elements started to converge, one after the other. Each element pulsated within me, flowing through my veins as if it were a part of me. The new ring wasn¡¯t just a ring; it was a unique entity, a fusion of all the elements. --- After the process was complete, I could no longer withstand the pain. I fell onto the bed, my body exhausted, but I felt a strange sense of satisfaction. "I did it¡­ I succeeded¡­" These were my final thoughts before I sank into a deep sleep.
