Unlucky

Arjun's fingers flew across the holographic interface of his message box, eager to claim the rewards promised by the Phoenix System. As he tapped on each notification, a surge of excitement coursed through him, anticipation building with every new reward he unlocked.

[ 1. Got 5000 Experience points. ]

The familiar jingle of experience points filled the air as Arjun's level bar surged forward, inching closer to his new goal. With each point earned, he felt a sense of accomplishment wash over him, knowing that he was one step closer to mastering the challenges that lay ahead.

[ 2. Fighter intentions have become two levels. ]

A grin spread across Arjun's face as he read the notification, his fighter intentions doubling in strength with each passing level. With this newfound power, he knew that he would be able to face any adversary that dared to cross his path, his determination unwavering in the face of adversity.

[ 3. New Fighting skills unlocked. ]

Arjun's eyes widened in excitement as he scrolled through the list of newly unlocked skills, each one more powerful than the last. With these abilities at his disposal, he knew that he would be able to unleash devastating attacks on his opponents, leaving them reeling in his wake.

[ 4. Lucky spin. ]

With a flick of his wrist, Arjun activated the lucky spin feature, the holographic wheel spinning before him in a whirl of colors. As it slowed to a stop, a grin spread across his face as he beheld the prize that awaited him—a cache of rare items and power-ups that would prove invaluable in the battles to come.

[ 5. Whatever the fighter buys will get a 40% discount and that too after purchasing the item from the shop. ]

Arjun's eyes widened in disbelief at the final reward, his mind racing with the possibilities that lay before him. With a discount of 40%, he would be able to purchase even the most elusive of items, his arsenal growing stronger with each new acquisition.

With the rewards claimed and his level raised to 12, Arjun felt a renewed sense of determination coursing through his veins. Armed with newfound strength and abilities, he knew that he was ready to face whatever challenges the Phoenix System had in store for him.

Arjun's excitement turned into a moment of reflection as he observed the advancements in his fighting techniques. The satisfaction of seeing his Low Kick at Level 3 and both Kick and Punch at Level 8 was tempered by the realization that he had adopted a kickboxing style, currently at Level 1.

Curiosity piqued, Arjun navigated to the details of his new fighting style, eager to explore the nuances that came with kickboxing. He knew mastering this style would add versatility to his combat repertoire.

However, amidst his exploration, an unexpected notification appeared once more, disrupting his focus.

[ 1. Mission Reaches 20 Level. ]

Arjun's mood shifted from curiosity to frustration. The prospect of facing a mission at Level 20 seemed daunting, and he couldn't shake the feeling of being overwhelmed. The weight of the challenge pressed on him, leaving him to question whether he could truly overcome such a formidable task.

[ 2. Create a Group Become Leader Members Are 5. ]

A spark of leadership ignited within Arjun as he contemplated the possibility of forming his own group. The responsibility of leading five members presented both an opportunity for camaraderie and a challenge in managing a team effectively. The idea lingered in his mind, a potential avenue for growth and collaboration.

[ 3. All the skills in 25 level. ]

The sheer magnitude of reaching Level 25 for all skills left Arjun momentarily breathless. The road ahead seemed arduous, requiring dedication and relentless training. Doubt crept into his thoughts, questioning if he could truly ascend to such heights in mastering every skill at his disposal.

As Arjun's frustration boiled over, his eyes widened in shock as he finally noticed the ominous warnings that had been staring back at him all along. His heart pounded in his chest as he read the dire consequences laid out before him.

[ Warning 1 - If the fighter does not do all these things within a year, then whatever system the fighter has followed, the system will ask him to go and whatever his level is, he will have to start again. ]

A shiver ran down Arjun's spine as he realized the gravity of the situation. The thought of losing everything he had worked so hard to achieve filled him with dread, the specter of failure looming large in his mind.

[ Warning 2 - The fighter will have to accept this mission. If he feels like refusing this mission, then the system will again reduce all the experience points and level of the fighter. He has only 30 seconds to think, he has to answer yes or no. ]

Panic gripped Arjun as he grappled with the ultimatum presented before him. The weight of the decision bore down on him, each passing second ticking away his precious time. With his heart racing and his mind clouded with uncertainty, he knew that he had to make a choice—and make it quickly.

The realization of the stakes at hand hit Arjun like a freight train, shaking him to his core. With trembling hands, he struggled to regain control of his senses, the weight of his decision bearing down on him like a crushing weight.

In that moment of truth, Arjun knew that his fate hung in the balance. With the countdown ticking away, he had to steel himself and make a decision—one that would shape the course of his journey within the Phoenix System.
