SYSTEM ; Rise of the Pauper heir
Urban
10
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: Chapter sixty two
That moment you feel like you have the whole world on your shoulder. Should I say it was this moment? I couldn't stop the fear I was feeling. The uncertainty. I know I have to look over my shoulders now. I need to treat everyone like they were my enemies. That was the only way to survive. " Are we safe here?" I asked staring at Jeffrey. I kind of feel sad to miss the old house though. " What is going to happen to the staff and most importantly the house?" Jeffrey looked at me and smiled. " You didn't think I was going to allow them to destroy what your father laboured so hard to build." In a flash, he pressed a core at the back of his neck and a house magically appeared out of nowhere." My face became pale. " What the hell is going on? Are you saying my father invented all of this?" " We have a lot to talk about, Mr Pontius." Jeffrey said walking ahead of me. My head turned three sixty degrees as I walked. I still don't believe what I was seeing. As we got in, I

Chapter: Chapter sixty one
The air grew colder with every step we took down the spiraling staircase. My eyes scanned the building making me wonder if I would ever know every faction in this building. Everything looked like a maze to me. The walls changed from polished alloy to rough stone, then back to reinforced titanium. It was as though we were descending through time—through different layers of whatever this compound truly was. Riku led the way, his footsteps silent, while Jeffrey stayed close behind me, his hand never straying far from the gun holstered beneath his coat. Yana didn’t speak. Her silence made me nervous. The deeper we went, the more the air felt charged, like it was humming—alive. Like it knew I was coming. At last, we reached the bottom. A sealed door barred our path, humming with a faint blue glow. Riku placed his palm on a scanner. A flash of light passed over his hand, then a voice rang out in a cold monotone: “Access granted. Clearance: Level Omega.” The door slid open, and a gust

Chapter: chapter sixty
The door burst opened and Yana walked in with a look that meant danger on her face. " What is the matter?" I said looking at her face. " We need to leave now! They found us." She said immediately grabbing my hands. "Who found us? I thought you said no one can find us here." " I don't have time for a million questions, Mr Pontius." Yana said peeping out into the silent Hallway. " What about Jeffrey? Did he ask you to come get me?" I asked staring at her face. " Yes. We are going to join Riku and the rest of them at the hideout." She said dragging me through the hallway. I looked back as we walked. It was too silent. Too quiet and peaceful. Why are we running if nothing was chasing us." You said the building is under attack so why does everything feel peaceful and quiet?" I asked,dragging her to a stop with force. Yana looked at me and suddenly her face changed into a kind of monster.A tech monster. " Get down!" I heard a voice right behind me. I dropped to the floor and the

Chapter: chapter fifty nine
The night felt longer than usual. It was suffocating, and the air tasted metallic, like static before a storm.I paced the kitchen floor barefoot, my mind spiraling. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw her face—Veronica Gresham, smirking like she held the key to everything I didn’t know about myself. And then there was him. The boy in the photo. Same eyes. Same birth date. Same mother’s name. Eva.The only woman I had called “Mom” my entire life. At this point, I wasn't sure if she was really my mother at some point. I staggered backward and sank into the nearest chair, the coldness of the kitchen tile grounding me. The system didn’t make mistakes. Its accuracy was digital—impossible to doubt. And yet, what it was telling me unraveled the very fabric of who I thought I was.“System,” I whispered again, my voice hoarse. “Was there a hospital record of Eva giving birth to twins that day?”[ Searching public and encrypted archives… ][ Match found: Eva , age 24, gave birth to male twins

Chapter: Chapter fifty eight
I couldn't think straight.The thought of having someone look exactly like me was disturbing.Did Jeremiah's father have me cloned?And for what reason?I don't remember my mother telling me I was a twin. I needed to tell Jeffrey about it. I could cover more ground with the men who work for me through the system, but then the thought of what he was going to do when he found out about it gnawed at me.I wasn't even sure if I was legit or not.You know that moment when you began to doubt your authenticity. It was absurd, but still I could not get it off my mind.Another thought crawled into my mind.What does the lady want, and why would she show me something like this?Was she trying to blackmail me?I had told Yana and Riku to keep their mouths shut until I was able to discern what was going on, but I wondered how long they were going to keep their mouths shut for.I immediately grabbed my phone and entered the school page. I typed Vicky's name, and a lot of names popped up.Nice!I w

Chapter: chapter fifty seven
The envelope sat there like it had weight beyond paper—like it was filled with danger instead of documents. It almost looked like it was rigged with explosive. I saw the look on Riku's face. He wanted to grab the envelope but I knew it can't be a bomb. I look around and saw the faces of the students. Smiling and talking and back at the paper in front of me. My eyes didn’t leave it, and for a moment, neither did Riku’s or Yana’s. The cafeteria felt quieter, even though the clatter and hum continued around us. “Don’t touch it yet,” I muttered, pushing my tray aside. Riku reached into his jacket, his movements subtle but precise. “You want me to scan it? Check for poison, tracking devices, explosives?” I shot him a flat look. “It’s an envelope, not a briefcase from a spy movie. Relax.” Yana leaned forward, her eyes flicking toward the door Vicky had walked through. “I can tail her. If she knows something about Jeremiah’s father, she could be a key witness… or bait.” “N
