It was evening, and the Konami building's main hall was bustling with people. Tables were scattered around, with guests mingling and sipping wine.
Shinro was reluctantly pulled into the party, feeling somewhat out of place. He had no choice but to participate; after all, he could only receive his salary after the "Best Employee of the Year" was announced.
As the event unfolded, music filled the hall. Shinro overheard his coworkers discussing potential winners of the "Best Employ...

As there was no one around, Lucas and Jennifer were completely engrossed in their passionate kiss, their tongues intertwining as they hugged each other tightly.
Before they knew it, two minutes had passed before they finally came up for air.
Jennifer's eyes were wide, her cheeks flushed red, as she gasped for air. "Are you crazy? We could've been seen!" she exclaimed, glancing around to make sure no one was watching.
Lucas just smiled and hugged her tighter, "You could've...

In the deli backroom, Lorenzo strolled in, and Deborah spotted him right away. However, she chose to ignore him and continued dancing.
Lorenzo noticed her cold shoulder and said, "Deborah... Why the long face? Aren't you happy to see me?"
Deborah kept dancing, but she couldn't help but respond, "After what you did last time, why would I be happy to see you?"
Lorenzo grinned, feigning innocence, "What do you mean?"
"Don't play dumb," Deborah stopped dancing and glar...

As you can see, I'm taking a break from writing "Game Tycoon." Working on this novel has taught me a lot about storytelling.
I think I rushed the project and overlooked essential elements that make a novel engaging, like character development, interactions, and plot dynamics. I stopped writing because it felt like I was just recounting history, chapter by chapter, and frankly, it became very exhausting. It's been draining my creativity and my enthusiasm for novel writing.

In the tenement where Lorenzo rents his apartment, he strolled along the corridor, lost in thought.
As Lorenzo walked, his mind was a whirlpool of speculation. He mused, "If the Kaplan gang operates out of this building, their headquarters could be hidden anywhere—from a basement or a specific apartment to the rooftop. They might even have a presence in the back alley, or at least wield some influence there. From what I've observed, they prefer to keep a low profile and avoid the rea...

Patrick echoed Max's request, "Didn't you hear him? Leave Deborah alone."
Lorenzo chuckled lightly and countered, "And why should I do that?"

"Young— I mean, Lorenzo, right? Let's talk this through... We live in a free country, after all. We can settle this civilly..." Officer Whitey, his voice trembling, was clearly frightened for his l...

"Man, that guy just got lucky," Patrick muttered, watching his friends brood over their defeat to Lorenzo.

Max remained silent, listening to his friends debate Lorenzo's abilities. He didn't w...
