Jay brought his phone out from his pocket again and immediately went online, scrolling through different listings from several real estate agencies.A few of them caught his attention almost instantly.They had clean layouts, decent pricing, and surprisingly good locations. And the best part was that some of them weren’t even far from where he currently was, about a thirty-minute drive at most.He paused on one particular listing, zooming in on the photos. Spacious living room. Large windows. Modern kitchen. The kind of comfortability he'd always dreamed of having.“I have to check this out,” Jay muttered to himself.Just then, he spotted an approaching cab and immediately raised his thumb slightly, signaling for the driver to stop.The moving taxi eventually slowed before pulling up beside him.“Where to, sir?” the driver asked.Jay pulled the door open and slid into the back seat. "I'll send you the address," he said, pulling out his phone once again. After a few taps, he sent the l

Jay wasn’t much of a car guy. Not because he disliked cars or anything like that, but simply because he never saw the point in obsessing over things he knew he could never afford, at least not before the system appeared. Back then, luxury cars were nothing more than distant fantasies to him, beautiful things only meant for rich people living completely different lives. As a matter of fact, Jay had already spotted a luxury car dealership earlier while heading to and from the property viewing with Mr. James. It wasn’t too far from the Evasy Real Estate building. It's just a short walking distance that wouldn’t even take more than a minute or two. With that thought in mind, Jay immediately began walking toward the direction of the dealership with the early evening breeze brushing softly against him as vehicle's occasionally sped past the road nearby. As he walked, Jay finally decided to ask the question that had been bothering him ever since the incident at the jewelry store. “Hey,

Bigboy’s confident smirk instantly weakened as he looked down the street nervously. Around him, the other thugs were already beginning to panic."What the hell are the damn cops doing here?" he muttered.“Boss, we should leave,” one of them whispered urgently.“Shut up,” Bigboy snapped, although even his own voice lacked confidence now.The distant sirens grew louder, and Jay watched with quiet amusement as the thugs' body language changed almost instantly.The thug who had been flashing the handle of his knife casually pulled his shirt down to cover it, while the one sitting on the hood of the car quickly hopped off, crushing his cigarette beneath his shoe before smoothly stepping away from the parked vehicle as if he had never been near it in the first place.“Seven seconds,” Jay said calmly, with his voice carrying a dangerous hint of amusement..It was both a warning and a challenge.They could either disappear before the police arrived... or stay and find out exactly what would h

A few moments later, he arrived at the sleek marble counter and sure enough, the telephone was exactly where he had anticipated it would be.As he approached it, he noticed a small black card resting underneath.Picking it up, Jay saw that it contained several building service numbers and on the reverse side was a QR code.“Looks like I was right,” he said.Without wasting any time, he picked up the receiver and dialed the resident services number.The call barely rang once before it was answered.“Good evening, Skyhull Residence Premium Services,” a pleasant female voice said from the other end of the line. “How may we assist you today?”“Hi,” Jay replied. “I'd like to order something to eat.”“Certainly, sir. What would you like to order?”Jay paused.“Honestly, I don't know,” he admitted. “Do you have a menu or something? What exactly do you serve?”The woman chuckled softly before replying. "Yes, sir. We have an extensive menu available for premium residents.”“Great. Where can I

Jay blinked several times as the notification floated before his eyes."Wait, wait, whoa! Slow down," Jay said hastily. "What's going on here? Why are you suddenly giving me a skill?"[Because today is your birthday.]"I know it's my birthday, but…"Before Jay could finish speaking, the system interrupted him.[host is entitled to receive gifts from the system on his birthday. These gifts may come in various forms. It can come in useful skills granted by the system or in special rewards.]Jay's eyes widened."Rewards? What type of rewards?"[Host could receive rewards like properties, cash rewards, System Points, special items, or even the temporary multipliers applied to your Daily Touch ability for only that day of your birthday.]Jay sat upright on the bed."Really?"[Yes, Host.]Jay simply stared at the floating screen for a few seconds with a visible grin on his face."That's cool."The System remained silent but Jay, however, was becoming increasingly interested."So you're tell
