Chapter 21
William lay down on the sofa in the living room of his apartment.His eyes closed as he enjoyed the breeze blowing in from the wide-open balcony door.There were so many things happening that morning. It seemed never-ending. When did his life become so full of drama? If William thought about it, maybe it started when his father was accused?After his father was accused and died, William’s life slowly turned into a living hell. Even after the system’s assistance arrived, his life was still far from easy.But... of course, it was easier than before. Having many problems while holding onto a lot of money was far better.[Since you refused to choose between Carmen, Liz, and Selene, you must reconsider your choice.][You have plenty of time to decide; there’s no need to rush.]William furrowed his brow, displeased with what the system said. No, it wasn’t the part about having to choose, but..."Come on, remove Selene’s option there; I won’t choose her no matter what. I have my pride; why wo

"William!!"As soon as William sat down on a bench in the university park, someone called his name.That day, William was very nervous because he had to present a group assignment, while Liz had... well, you know.William was afraid of having to go up alone because he was only in a group with Liz."Hey, William!" Evan patted his shoulder and sat down next to him."Why do you look so tense? Oh, I have some good news!" Evan pulled his smartphone out of the pocket of his jacket and showed something to William."What’s the good news?" William asked."First, I bought an apartment in the same building as you! But it’s the cheapest unit because I can’t afford to spend too much money. But then I heard that the price of Vircoin has gone up! I have 1,000 coins there. Do you think I should invest my money there, or not? Or should I sell those 1,000 coins now, since the price is already $60?" Evan said enthusiastically, his big eyes growing even bigger as he spoke at length to William."In my opin

"William! What are you doing? Why are you—" Selene’s words stuck in her throat. She was so shocked by what she had just seen with her own eyes.William kissed Liz, in front of many people.What was he thinking?"William..." Liz muttered, still in shock.William’s kiss was just a sweet peck on her lips. But it made Liz feel almost crazy. Her heart was racing so fast that she was afraid William could hear it beating so loud at that moment."You’re so beautiful, Liz, today or any other day. Don’t listen to the jealous girls who envy you. They think they’re more beautiful than you, but they don’t realize they’re beneath you. Don’t feel insecure about Carmen or anyone else, because you are you. You’re beautiful in your own way." William said, then turned to Selene."And you, Selene, stop bothering me or Liz. There’s no need to pretend to be nice; I know why you’re here. There’s no chance for you to get close to me or Liz. Go away," added William.Selene’s face turned red at that moment. She

"I don’t like any of those, find me someone else."The woman hurriedly searched for other documents and showed them to him.William immediately picked up the document that had accidentally fallen, and he recognized the face on it. It was the face shown on the list from his system.William sat back up straight and handed the document to the woman."I like this person, I’ll choose this one," said William.The woman was surprised to see who William was referring to."Are you sure? Even though he’s very good, his reputation isn’t great. He was just fired because he was accused of—""Is there any proof that the accusation against him is true?""Yes? Oh... actually, it hasn’t been proven yet, but...""Then there’s no problem, right? Introduce us to him."The woman smiled resignedly, then contacted someone. Shortly afterward, she said, "He said he’ll be here soon. He sounded very happy to hear that you want to meet him.""Are you sure, William?" Evan whispered right into William’s ear, causin

Some big, scary men stopped when they saw Evan and William just standing there dumbfounded next to their car."Hey, did you two see someone running this way?" one of them asked.Evan quickly replied, "We didn’t—""We saw him, he ran that way!" William interjected, pointing in the other direction.The intimidating men immediately headed in the direction William had pointed."Let’s go catch him!""Don’t let him get away!"After the men had left, Evan snapped out of it and turned to William."Why did you lie? What if the person they’re chasing has a debt or something?" Evan whispered.William shook his head, "No, I’m sure those people had bad intentions. We should catch the person they were chasing and interrogate him.""You were the one who just said not to get involved, right?" Evan asked.However, William had already gone to the hiding place of the person whom the system identified as a celebrity."Hey, do you need help? Those men are gone."The person hiding looked up at William and n

William watched silently as Sean argued with his manager over the phone.Judging from Sean’s expression, things weren’t going well. The look of despair on his face was clear.William didn’t understand why he was caught between Sean, his agency, and the killer. But William couldn’t just back down or wash his hands of the situation.Sean reminded William of himself in the past. He was desperate and thought he was alone. All William could think about at the time was how to escape the situation.He felt completely powerless when false accusations were leveled against his father, when he had to face the consecutive deaths of his parents. Then, his desperate older brother only added to his burden.If no one else supported him, like Evan... William might have decided to do something terrible to himself.And Sean, it seemed like he had no one. Where were the friends he mentioned earlier? How busy were they that they let Sean face everything alone?Since Sean was busy, William quietly opened th

"So that’s how it is? But why did Sean’s manager say he was kidnapped? He even asked me to contact Sean and ask him where he was. But don’t worry, I didn’t give him your address. I told Sean’s manager that I couldn’t contact Sean. But—I don’t know any fanatics like the ones you’re talking about," Deva said after William told him everything that had happened to Sean, including what Sean’s manager and agency had said to Sean regarding the death threats.Devano Hanzel was with the same agency as Sean, while Sean’s other friend, Travis Averdo, had his own new agency."Of course those fans won’t show their bad side to you; they only act that way toward Sean. But haven’t you ever been close to anyone else besides Sean? Maybe they’re also being terrorized by the same threats," William asked.Deva sighed heavily, then stared ahead with a blank expression.The sun was rising at that moment, revealing a breathtakingly beautiful scene. But both William and Deva were lost in their own thoughts."I

"Why are you laughing? Is there something funny about what I said?" asked Andre, looking very angry. In fact, he was the one who provoked William.[Your first mission today is to kick Andre out of your building, make sure people know that you are the owner of the building][Your reward is a luxury car and an additional 10 points to your reputation]Finally, the mission arrived. William had been waiting for it. Because he wanted to get something by expelling Andre. Consider it compensation for all the burdens Andre had imposed in the past. When else would he get a luxury car for expelling and humiliating Andre?"Of course it’s funny, Andre! Don’t you know who I am?" William asked, mimicking Andre’s tone from when William was down back then.Andre snorted, "You’re just a little duckling on the brink of death. Who do you think you are? You’re no better than me—I mean, you’re from the lower class, clearly not comparable to me."Well, Andre was still the same. And even more annoying than hi

[Your second mission today is to save a restaurant from being seized by loan sharks. Become an investor who can turn that small restaurant into a big one!][You have one week from now. If you succeed, your reward will be a building worth more than ten million dollars.][Will you accept this mission or reject it outright?][If you fail, the system will take five million dollars from your account.]Helping a small restaurant that is about to be seized is easy for now. But to make that restaurant bigger? Especially in just one week...A big reward for a big challenge, of course William will accept it.Besides, if he fails, it’s okay if he loses five million dollars. Because William currently has more than that in his account. Especially if he sells all the Vircoins he has.So, there’s no harm in trying, right?"I’ll pay you, but give me some time. You can’t suddenly seize this restaurant without giving me any time at all!" said the restaurant waiter, who might also be the owner of the res

Deva continued to pull William’s arm into the building. They kept walking, passing through several corridors, until Deva finally stopped.But William didn’t see anything serious there. There was only Sean and another young man.However, the young man, whom William didn’t recognize, looked very angry, and Sean was calming him down.William could see that the young man’s palm had a wound, as if he had punched something."What happened? Please explain it to me," asked William.The young man stared at William with a sharp gaze. William could really feel the anger in his eyes."I’ll explain—""No, let me, explain it" said the young man William didn’t know in a deep voice that made them all shiver.Sean immediately fell silent, not daring to say anything else.Meanwhile, William sat down in front of them. Deva was still standing, looking nervous."So, all this time I’ve suspected that this agency itself wanted to harm Sean. I told Sean that I was busy, but in reality, I was just investigatin
