chapter 6: suprise

As Ahmet walked along the familiar streets toward home, a sense of unease gnawed at his insides. He quickened his pace, hoping to shake off the feeling of being watched, but the shadowy figure seemed to match his every step, always lurking just beyond the reach of the streetlights.

Despite the warning from the system, Ahmet's rational mind refused to accept the possibility of danger. He reasoned that it was just his imagination running wild, fueled by the strange events of the day.

But as he turned a corner onto a dimly lit alley, the hairs on the back of his neck stood on end, and a chill ran down his spine. There, standing before him, was the shadowy figure, their features obscured by the darkness.

Ahmet's heart pounded in his chest as he tried to make sense of the situation. Who was this person, and why were they following him? Before he could gather his wits to speak, a voice sliced through the silence like a knife.

"Well, well, well, what do we have here?" the figure sneered, stepping forward into the faint glow of the streetlight.

Ahmet's blood ran cold as he recognized the face of his tormentor: Murat, a classmate known for his violent temper and cruel tendencies.

"What do you want, Murat?" Ahmet demanded, trying to keep his voice steady despite the fear coursing through his veins.

Murat's lips twisted into a malicious grin as he took another step closer, his eyes glinting with malice.

"I want what's rightfully mine," he growled, his voice dripping with venom. "And you, Ahmet, are standing in my way."

Ahmet's mind raced as he tried to make sense of Murat's words. What could he possibly want from him? Before he could formulate a response, Murat lunged forward, his hand curling into a fist.

Instinct kicked in, and Ahmet stumbled backward, his heart hammering in his chest. But before Murat could land a blow, a voice echoed in Ahmet's mind, a warning from the system that he had ignored.

System Warning: Danger!

With a surge of adrenaline, Ahmet's senses sharpened, and he sprang into action, dodging Murat's attack with newfound agility. As he scrambled to his feet, the interface before him flashed with urgent messages, urging him to flee, to fight, to survive.

But as Ahmet's world descended into chaos, one thing became clear: he was no longer a passive observer in his own life. He was a player in a deadly game, and the stakes had never been higher.
