~Xavier My fists tightened around the bridge railing. I lifted my right leg onto the top bar and shifted my left, ready to step forward. Just as I was about to jump, a synthetic, cold voice echoed inside my skull like a computer. [Xavier Steel, why do you have to kill yourself over a woman when you have the power to command all the women in the whole world?!] I froze, then carefully stepped back down from the bars and looked around. No one was there. Am I starting to hear things now? I scoffed under my breath. Women are never really pleased. Even after they leave you, they somehow make you start hearing voices. And you can never please them unless you’re rich. [That’s right, Xavier Steel. Women are never pleased if you are poor. But with the Peerless Money System, women must be pleased!] I staggered backward in fear. “Peerless Money System?” A flat, glowing computer panel suddenly materialized in front of me. [Ding!] [The Peerless Money System has been loaded.] [Host: Xa

~IsabellaCarl had brought me here for a shopping spree. The moment I spotted Xavier, my face tightened into a frown.This was one of the most luxurious malls on campus. Only people from the wealthy class belonged here. Xavier was far too poor to even afford the entrance. If he wasn’t stalking me, then why the hell was he standing in front of me?I deliberately stepped away from Carl, my expression curling into pure disgust.“Xavier, why are you following me? Didn’t we already end whatever relationship we had? When exactly did you start stalking me?”Xavier scoffed. “Stalking you?” He pulled his hand from his pocket. “Who told you I was stalking you? This mall is huge. Do you think it was built for you alone?”He sounded stubborn, completely refusing to admit the obvious.Carl slipped a hand into his pocket, ready to fire off a remark, when a tall, beautiful young woman walked straight up to Xavier and gently took his hand.I blinked twice.Wasn’t that Marie Thompson? The most beaut

~XavierFive years into our relationship, I remembered it all with perfect clarity.Every morning I woke up early just to prepare and serve Isabella her breakfast. Whenever I handed her the plate, she would take it with a cold, downgrading look and say:“Alright, you can go ahead and leave already.”If it was raining and she still hadn’t left for school, I would drop whatever I was doing, rush to her apartment, hand her an umbrella, and walk back under the rain myself. Her only response was always the same:“You’re late.”And whenever she fell sick, I would hurry over with a cup of ginger tea so she could drink it and feel better.After everything I had done for her… she still held no real affection for me?Her affection rate had stayed locked at 1. Yet today, the moment she watched me spend large amounts of money, it suddenly jumped from 1 to 8.“Xavier! Xavier! Wait for me!”Isabella’s voice called out behind me. I turned and saw her trying to catch up. The closer she came, t

~XavierI took Marie to the Royal’s Kitchen. Once we settled at our table, the waiter brought the menu and asked us to order.I didn’t ask Marie what she wanted. I simply ordered for both of us.I wasn’t going to be a simp who bought women whatever they asked for. Instead, I bought whatever I wanted to enjoy. I felt like seafood, so Marie would eat the same thing.Women were decorative objects and companions. I only took them along so I could enjoy life more fully. This way I could keep beautiful women by my side, showcase my abilities in front of them, and watch their Affection ratings climb—which worked entirely in my favor.Marie didn’t decline a single dish I ordered.We got grouper, Italian lobster with a rich Italian sauce, crab stew, and several other exquisite plates. The restaurant’s minimum was $266 per person, but my order easily exceeded $700. I thoroughly enjoyed the meal. It really was a high-end place with outstanding seafood. Marie ate until she was completely satisf

~Xavier’s POV. It didn’t take more than a few minutes for the cash reward to hit my bank account.A notification lit up my phone.Incoming Transaction! Credit of Ten Million Dollars received successfully!I smiled to myself. Look at me—an actual millionaire.I opened the system panel to check the rewards. Swiping left, I confirmed the transaction had gone through cleanly. Ten million dollars, already sitting in my account.I swiped left once more. A new floating panel blinked insistently:Lottery! Lottery! Spin to WinI tapped the draw button. The roulette wheel spun rapidly, prizes flashing past in a blur of light.While it spun, I studied every possible reward.There were skill books that could instantly grant abilities—cooking, fighting, healing, swordsmanship, and countless others—simply by opening the book and staring into its pages.A Mind-Reading Token that would let me hear other people’s thoughts.A Precognitive Token that could show the future, predict danger, foresee o
