“What the f*ck did you just say?!?” Tyler grew furious. Some random guy was insulting him out of nowhere. “The truth is you were a mistake. Your birth certificate was an apology letter from the condom factory!” Tyler’s face turned red with embarrassment and anger. Ben might have been reserved, but he was damn good at cursing. Even the system …

Ben stared into the bathroom mirror and didn’t recognize the person looking back. “Holy sh*t!” He wasn’t a fatty anymore! In only one week, all the fat came off. What’s more is his muscles were chiseled. He was lean, not huge like a bodybuilder, but he looked like an athlete! Ben had gone to the gym every day. Yesterday, he …

Ben was back in his dorm laughing like a crazy person. 800 points! He earned 800 points just from getting rejected! If it allowed him to live, he didn’t mind getting rejected a thousand times! Back at the mall, Beluga had commended Ben’s efforts and they agreed to meet again next weekend. Antonio also said he would come. Still, time …

Ben wasn’t feeling great, but Antonio and Beluga encouraged him. They said that in the beginning, it was normal to be rejected, even necessary. Ben thought about it. ‘Whatever. It’s only a palm print. It’ll come off. Even the shame will wash off with time…’ He wasn’t ready to quit. Beluga pointed out another woman and Ben decided he would …

Beluga was giving Ben his first lecture. “Benjamin, I’ll tell you this. Mastering the art of seduction is a long pursuit, but it isn’t as hard as you think to get started. Ok, lesson one. Stand up and repeat after me. ‘I’m the best looking and most charming man you’ve ever seen.’” Ben was hesitant but followed his instructions. “I’m the …

*Ding* *Dong* Ben and Antonio were at the front door of a two-story house in Brooklyn. A few moments after ringing the doorbell, a man opened the door. He was 30ish and tall, with an imposing heavy-set frame, but what was most striking was his outfit. It was epic. He wore a curved purple pimp hat capped by a red …

5 days later… “Why hasn’t she called?!?” Ben was sitting on his bed with his face buried in his hands. He thought he made it out of the woods. He thought he had a chance to live. But he discovered he was too naive! “That Divine Line was actually a death sentence!” He was tricked into a sense of complacency. …

“Stop staring freak. You’re a disgusting worm to girls like her,” Tyler insulted Ben as he stepped forward to stand at Ben’s side and smirked. “That’s Penelope. You couldn’t get her to talk to you to save your life, so stop looking before you embarrass yourself.” Ben gritted his teeth. This girl was way out of his league, but why …

Ben held his breath as his eyes stared downward, shimmering with both fear and hope. The light faded to reveal his fate. It was… A ripped off corner of a paper with some scrawling on it. “Well…good game.” Ben embraced his doom tightly like a long lost lover. In his head, he wrote a bucket list of things to do …

Ben thought being a virgin was bad enough. Now, he even had to die for it. It all started when he began his freshman year at New York University in the entering class of 2019. When he got off the train in Manhattan, his eyes shone from the surrounding splendor. In every direction, there were skyscrapers, luxury shops, and most …
