With his heart pounding and adrenaline coursing through his veins, Ahmet's instincts kicked into overdrive. He dodged Kyle's next swing, narrowly avoiding the blow as he backed away, his mind racing for a way out of the confrontation.
The system warnings continued to flash before his eyes, urging him to flee, but something inside Ahmet refused to back down. He couldn't let Kyle intimidate him any longer.
Gathering his resolve, Ahmet squared his shoulders and met Kyle's gaze with a steely determination. "I'm not afraid of you, Kyle," he declared, his voice ringing with newfound confidence.
Kyle's eyes narrowed, his smirk faltering for a moment as he registered Ahmet's defiance. But then, with a menacing growl, he lunged forward once more, his fists clenched in fury.
Ahmet braced himself for the impact, his mind racing for a way to defend himself. But before Kyle could land a blow, a voice echoed in Ahmet's mind, cutting through the chaos of the moment.

With lightning speed, Ahmet's hand shot out, deflecting Kyle's attack with a well-timed strike. Surprised by Ahmet's sudden agility, Kyle stumbled backward, his expression shifting from rage to shock.
In that brief moment of hesitation, Ahmet seized the opportunity to escape, darting past Kyle and sprinting down the alleyway with all the speed he could muster.
As he ran, the interface before him continued to pulse with urgent messages, guiding him toward safety. And though fear still gripped his heart, Ahmet felt a sense of exhilaration coursing through his veins.
For the first time in his life, he was taking control of his own destiny, facing danger head-on and emerging stronger for it. And as he disappeared into the night, leaving Kyle far behind, Ahmet knew that whatever challenges lay ahead, he would face them with courage and determination.
