A Life Beyond Limits novel Chapter 46

Every morning, Bella would send a text to wake Jack up.

Whenever she had free time, she would drag Jack along for meals or shopping trips. Sometimes, on a whim, she would even pester him to teach her how to play Skybound Wars.

Additionally, she had gone out of her way to purchase several matching couple items for the two of them.

What annoyed Jack the most was that ever since Bella gave him that nickname, she had stopped calling him by his actual name. Instead, she had taken to calling him "Big Bun".

Meanwhile, the dorm atmosphere had grown tense lately, especially for Samuel. His crush, Jenna, had been getting closer to Tyler Evanson, a rich kid from off-campus. Rumors even suggested that they were now living together.

Tyler, with his flashy car and apartment, had captured Jenna's heart. Compared to him, Samuel, with his humble background and only his academic excellence to show, felt outclassed. Even his slight disadvantage in height seemed to weigh against him in this competition.

Isaac and Joshua were spending more time with Miranda and Queenie, while Ronnie's relentless pursuit of Anya Bennett seemed to be gaining ground. Despite Ronnie's unconventional appearance, his well-off background as a local of Alnewgo City was starting to sway Anna.

Jessica, the dorm leader, had once tried her luck with Luca but to no avail.

As for Jack, he had little interaction with the girls from their shared dorm room. In fact, he had even forgotten most of their names. Yet, this didn't affect the friendly relations between the two dorm groups.

Joshua, ever the planner, was working on organizing a group outing for everyone, generously offering to cover all the costs himself.

At the same time, the selection process for the freshman basketball tournament was underway. With his impressive skills, Joshua was easily appointed captain of the School of Finance basketball team, while Isaac secured the position of starting center.

Occasionally, Jack would hear bits of news about Phoebe Bailey, the campus beauty. Alongside Luca, she was regarded as one of the most outstanding freshmen.

Phoebe had joined the student council, become a broadcast host for the campus radio station, and earned the opportunity to study abroad at Brighton University as an exchange student.

His plug-in software had also gained popularity, and his songs, "Heart's Desire" and "Time", continued to generate steady income. In just over two months, his savings had exceeded a million dollars.

But Jack wasn't content to stop there. He had set his sights on transitioning from creating tools to developing games—a move that required much more than technical expertise. Building a successful game demanded substantial funding and a talented team.

Fortunately, Patrick had agreed to join his venture, but even with a million in savings, it wasn't nearly enough to develop a large-scale game.

Adding to the challenge, the surge in popularity of Bloody Dawn had led to a flood of plug-ins in the market, making competition fiercer. Game companies were also ramping up efforts to crack down on such software, underscoring the risks and instability of staying in that business.

Jack knew creating boosts wasn't a sustainable path. He needed to pivot to game development quickly.

The road ahead was filled with obstacles, but Jack was determined to push forward, accumulate the necessary capital, and build something extraordinary. With relentless resolve, he was ready to face the challenges head-on.
