SYSTEM ; Rise of the Pauper heir
I thought love was supposed to be my escape—but it became my downfall. The girl I gave everything to, the one who promised forever, betrayed me with a smirk and a kiss... meant for someone else. Not just anyone—but the heir of a billionaire empire. And when I walked in on them, shirtless and laughing, I wasn’t just heartbroken—I was humiliated. She didn’t even flinch. She just said, “You never had a chance.” And the whole campus agreed. Poor. Powerless. Pathetic. That was me.
I hit rock bottom that night. I wanted it all to end. But the universe had other plans.
A strange light filled my vision, and suddenly, a screen appeared before me:
[Activate the ‘Destiny System’? First Task: Spend $5 million in 72 hours. Rewards Await.]
At first, I thought I was hallucinating. But then the money came. Real. Tangible. Endless.
Now, I have resources that could shake the world—but so do my enemies. And they’re not just rich. They’re ruthless. Every step I take, someone tries to pull me down. But I’ve changed. I’m no longer that helpless kid begging to be loved.
I have the system. I have the drive. And I’m not just going to take revenge—
I’m going to rewrite the game. Not only am I having the power of the system but I am also the lost heir to the system wealth.
The only question is: What will I lose in the process?
Do I have to take revenge or seek out something more than just teenage revenge?

Chapter: twenty nine Silence.That was all I had. No voices. No footsteps. Just the loud, maddening rhythm of my own heartbeat in my ears.My heart beat loudly against my chest as if I was going through the beating once again. I could feel the way my head was being hammered with blows from Jeremiah that I clenched my hands against the white bed sheet that was spread on the bed. I shifted again, the bandage over my eyes making every second feel like an eternity. My fingers trembled as I touched the edge of the cloth. I wanted to rip it off, but the fear of what I might—or might not—see was paralyzing.“Please… let me see,” I whispered to no one in particular. My hand slowly went towards my bandage but that was when I heard the creak of the door. My breath hitched.“Pontius,” the soft, hesitant voice called.That wasn’t Cassie. It wasn’t even Precious.“Layla?” I croaked.“Yeah… it’s me.”This was not suppose to be happening. Did she think I was going to take her back because I couldn't see? " You are not

Chapter: chapter twenty eight "Huh." I said silently with my breath caught in my throat. The school erupted into a frenzy mode, with each of the students grabbing their phones to make a record of what just happened."Did she just kiss him?" "Omg! I can't believe Pontius just killed Precious!" "Is he going to see the president or something? He is gradually getting his future right."I could hear all their talks, but as I stood, everything faded into the background, and I wasn't sure what was going on anymore. One minute Precious and Jeremiah were arguing with Layla, claiming what was hers. And the next minute I was locking lips with Precious. I knew I was being used, but why does it feel damn good? The noise faded, and I saw the look on most of the kids' faces. They all were showing signs that they were squared off with me, but one person wasn't. He got mad with rage, and as he moved towards me, I didn't expect what he was going to do. Jeremiah sent a blow directly to my face, and I went backwards towards so

Chapter: Chapter twenty seven What is she doing?"" Is she going to ask him out?"" You are kidding right? How can the president's daughter ask Pontius out?"" No kidding. She must have shears about him. Saw what he did and decided to date him also. Pontius is like the hot girl every one wants to date." A boy said to his friend." Can you just keep your mouth shut and let's see how things will unfold."" One thousand dollars says the president is going to ask him out." The boy said feeling a bit offended." Two thousand." The other replied." Deal!"The atmosphere was eccentric for me. My legs were visibly shaking and god, I was sweating in my palms.I have always seen the president on TV's but coming close to his daughter was something I had never thought was going to be possible.I can see some of the students all gathering around to see what was happening. " Are you alright?" She asked staring at my face.But I was short of words.I just stood there like a zombie. My gaze bore into hers. Her smile was captivati

Chapter: Chapter twenty six My heart thudded and beat fast.I wasn't sure; maybe it was from the anticipation of the next mission, or maybe it was from the way Cassie had treated me coldly. I have a lot going on for me at the moment, and to think that she could leave me when it mattered the most made it even harder. She was the perfect plan to make sure my mother doesn't know about the mysterious system. I was even beginning to wonder if it might have been my real father trying to connect with me. The system has come to me at my weakest. The money, the power and the missions all were in alignment with my daily life and routine. I know by now that I had to keep the mysterious phone away from prying eyes. Especially Jeremiah, who would see that I crashed and burnt. I watched Cassie walk away, and my attention shifted back to my system. [ SYSTEM UPGRADE] [ Congratulations, you have passed the few missions given to you. Your account will be upgraded to the next tiers. I waited as the phone went blank. I kep

Chapter: Chapter twenty five I froze.I knew I was not supposed to but I felt like I was intruding. The words slipped into my ears like sharp knives, and for a moment, I couldn't breathe.Slowly, I raised my head and turned to meet her gaze.I don't know why I had to feel jealous or sad over hearing her telling another guy that she loved him.Cassie was staring at me, her phone now resting lazily in her hand. Her once soft expression had hardened, her brows knitting together as if I had committed the gravest sin."I wasn't eavesdropping," I said, my voice low, almost uncertain. "I was just... passing by.""Passing by?" She tilted her head mockingly, the coldness in her eyes stabbing into me deeper than her words ever could. "You seem to be 'passing by' at all the wrong times lately, Pontius."Pontius.Not "Ponty," not the half-teasing, half-annoyed tone she always used with me.Just Pontius. Distant.Formal.Like I was some stranger she had stumbled across.I wonder if she had really meant the word she said to m

Chapter: Chapter twenty four My face went pale. I could hardly believe what was going on. The sound of the camera lights and the background whispering of the students was all I could hear. Felicia looked at me and smiled. "Was that your first kiss?" She asked, staring at me. I had always envisioned my first kiss to be special. But it was stolen by someone I had no feelings for. "Why did you do that?" I asked, staring at her. "Do you even care when you see Rykard throw me against the lockers'?" I asked, staring at her face. "I am sorry, but that was to make Rykard jealous. I don't want him anymore. I want you." Felicia said again, and the whole class giggled. I am having conflicted emotions right now. Cassie was playing a mind game with me, and I wasn't sure what she really wanted from me. Right now, I was the hot boy everyone wanted on campus. It was going to be a shame to let all of that go to waste. "Will you be my date to prom?" Felicia asked again, putting me even in a tighter position. My eyes da
