SCREECH!!!Richard was startled by the sudden screech of a speeding black van near him. Confused, he turned to know why or what happened, only to see masked thugs armed with crowbars and steel bats jumping down from the van. Richard didn't need a soothsayer to tell him that they were here to make trouble for him, or worse.He bolted immediately without even asking a question. They chased after him. The Valerian Estate where the Warren Family Mansion was located was supposed to be security tight, but Richard couldn't find a single security personnel around. He didn't think much of it and ran faster. He turned towards a neighborhood he believed he could lose his pursuers.. but fate seemed to have abandoned him as he didn't expect the black van in front of him. It seemed that while the thugs chased after him, the driver had circled around to block his only escape route.Richard skidded to a halt. The thugs chasing him were no longer in a hurry, they were now casually walking towards him,

A yellow cab stopped at the Estate gate. Since it wasn't registered in the Estate security system, it couldn't be allowed in. Richard alighted and paid his fare, and then decided to walk back to the Warren mansion. The holographic panel had been blinking, it was flashing the words; «Host stat available.»Richard decided to check it out. He gave a mental command to the system to show him his stats.«Ding!Host's Status Window.Name: Richard TuckerRace: HumanAge: Twenty four Strength: 14Agility: 16Stamina: 20Perception: 20Charm: 15 (appearance, clothes, spirit, etc are closely related)Skill: None availableKnowledge: Business ManagementFunds: $1,090 (All funds are from reasonable and legal sources.

He stopped and listened intently. He knew there was n

Richard had woken up earlier than usual. Kathleen had made even more absurd changes to the deal they made the night before. She has told him to leave the house the next day and only return when he got the contract. Richard hadn't agreed at first, but his mother-in-law took it as a sign that he wouldn't succeed, so Richard had no other choice but to bite on the bait. And now here he was, getting ready to leave the Warren Family Mansion for God knows where. He had checked his status, he had no less than $17,000 in his savings account now.'That should be enough to rent an apartment for a week or two.' Richard said as he walked towards Diane's room. He knocked on the door and waited for a response."Who is it?" Diane's voice came from inside."It's me." Richard responded."Stand out there, I'm not through yet." She said. Her tone had a bit of annoyance mixed in it. Richard knew why she was annoyed. She was still soured up about the deal he made with his mother-in-law. No one believed he

Richard walked into a Mall. It was one of the best in the entire city, and he was here to shop for clothes. He immediately attracted attention as soon as he stepped into the building. His attire wasn't exactly screaming wealth.. and yet he was inside a place where only the wealthy shopped."Excusing me Sir, can I help you?" A saleswoman came along. She seemed to be in her mid twenties, and was dressed in well iron white shirt and a tight black skirt. Her and makeup were well taken care of. She looked every inch a professional. She also had a forced smile on her face."I need clothes of $5,000 and above, but it should also be casual looking and shouldn't seem overly expensive." Richard said. Of course he had his reasons. If he was to show up in the Warren's house wearing a sparkly shirt that screamed money, there will be problems as they will want to know where he got the money from, and he won't be able to explain. So for now, he will settle with plain looking clothes that still had t

Richard took a final look at the narcissist, he let out a cold smile as he grabbed his bags. Evelyn had asked to assist him but Richard said no. She had actually done more than enough by attending to him and even showing him kindness. Walking out of the boutique, he glanced at the sun shining brightly into his face. Richard let out a satisfactory smile as if the sun had recharged his entire body. He was not sure if he was supposed to say a thank you for the thugs who had killed him or the system who brought him back. Either ways, both had helped him become what he was now. All he had to do now was figure out how he was going to get the only thing that was going to make him get his wife back. Richard knew he was rich now. He does not have to play by Kathleen's rules anymore once he gets the contract he wanted for them. He still remembered the cold and icy look she had on her face when she threw him out of the house. The thought of how Richard was going to live crossed his mind.
