2023-07-02 02:11:57As though the universe had already made fun of him before. Still, Matthew had to handle the driver of the black Pigeot. As Matthew left the opulent home with the three-meter fence, a car almost struck him.
Not satisfied with a simple honk. The driver got out and shoved Matthew's corpse, bringing the luggage he clutched.
"Didn't you hear my car horn?! Are you deaf? Don't you see my car standing here and about to enter?!" The man snapped repeatedly.
Ding
The system window displayed the person shouting at Matthew in his profile photo. Axel Ruthless was the name of the individual. This man was having an affair with Dominic Rayn's wife, Briana Floss.
The system window vanished once more when the information was given, and the guy kicked Matthew.
"Hey, you piece of trash! Get out of my way!" He snapped. After a while, Matthew ran out of energy. He was unable to continue battling the arrogant man in the same way. He rose up and pulled his bag out of the way of Axel Ruthless.
"It's good that you know yourself. You trashy, useless man!" Axel Routhless continued to make fun of Matthew. He walked back to his car, whining and swearing, and when the gate opened automatically, he drove through.
Matthew was only able to sigh. He had been humiliated, kicked out, and was now homeless. Even three hundred bucks were in his possession. Even if it was only a tiny apartment, he should at least secure housing while seeking additional sources of income.
Matthew walked out of the big house that had become his ex-wife's home, carrying a bag full of an unknown number of clothes, and went to the bus stop. However, Matthew had underestimated how far Dominic Rayn's residence was from the bus stop.
The house was in a posh neighborhood. Finding a bus stop and getting to the freeway required a twenty-minute walk.
Matthew lacked a phone and knew nobody he could call for assistance. Nevertheless, he discovered he was in Florida, a state in the southeast of the United States, after arriving at the bus station and consulting the itinerary on the route board.
"Wow, I always wanted to live near the beach, and now that I'm alive again, I really do live near the beach." The distance between Matthew's position and Dominic Rayn's house on Caladesi Island's beach was just fifty kilometers.
Matthew would be close to his friend Anthony Baskin if he were present in Florida at that time. Even though he was now inside Dominic Rayn's body, Matthew could have been able to pass for Matthew Wilson to borrow enough money to travel back to his Canadian home.
"Hei, system," Matthew called out, and the system's window opened again.
"You told me that the time of my death was reset to a few hours before Dominic Rayn's death, right?"
[ Correct. ]
"That means I'm in the year 2023?"
[ Correct. ]
"What if I just transitioned into Dominic Rayn's body, but the individuals I've been in contact with are still alive? Does that indicate my status as a human has just changed to dead?"
[ Your spirit was only a distraction for me. Dominic Rayn's body now contains your soul, but we cannot change anything. In other words, yes. Your parents, girlfriends, and friends, everyone you ever knew, are still living today. ]
"Can I meet those people?" Matthew was so curious about the people in Dominic Rayn's life that the man chose to stop living despite having a system like Trivia.
[ No doubt. Use Dominic Rayn's body because if you don't, you won't be able to tell them you're still alive. ]
"What? Why am I not the one in this body?"
[ Technically, you're actually dead. And the body you're carrying is Dominic Rayn's body. If anything happens, you will still be known as Dominic Rayn, not Matthew Wilson. ]
"Ah, shit!"
Matthew swore because the system's assertions were factual. Dominic Rayn's physicality prevented Anthony from considering him a friend. He only had 300 dollars, so he needed to find out if he could use that to pay for the system.
There was a system window. Dominic Rayn's account details, passbook, fingerprints, and signature were all captured on camera.
[ Passbooks, account numbers, and signatures are readily accessible. The bank chosen by Dominic Rayn was Central Bank in the city center. ]
"Does this mean I can cash out the balance I got from you?"
[ Correct. The balance can be cashed out after logging into the account. ]
"Well, at this rate, I can stay in a hotel for a few nights and rent a flat that's a bit bigger."
[ Matthew Wilson, you can even buy a condominium if you successfully complete each scenario. ]
Matthew smiled and prepared himself as the bus was almost there. The distance between the bus stops needed a little detour to get to slight Central Bank, so Matthew had to take two buses and a metro ride to the city center.
Since Matthew routinely traveled to Florida for business, he knew precisely where to find the Central Bank when he arrived in the city's core. He went to a bank teller there and requested a new debit and credit card, citing the loss of his existing ones.
Matthew needed to find out where Dominic's debit and credit cards were. Or the Floss family took them for their own gain.
In addition to Dominic Rayn's face, identity, and fingerprints, Matthew may also use Dominic Rayn's signature to authorize particular papers required by the bank.
But as Matthew left the bank, a guy gave him a shoulder tap. When Matthew turned around, Anthony smirked at him. Anthony smiled, but Matthew could not reciprocate because he was now within Dominic Rayn's body and was left wondering. Dominic Rayn was smiling at Anthony as he explained the situation. And the grin that Matthew had taken at first to be kind turned into one that seemed rude.
"Hello, Dominic Rayn. How are you, buddy," Anthony asked as he patted Matthew's back quite hard, causing him pain.
"I've been having trouble finding you for five months now. How dare you run away from me like that, you little shit ...." Anthony put more force into each pat on Matthew's back, causing him even more pain.
"Sorry, but that hurts," Anthony continued to pound Matthew's back, so Matthew took a few steps back to escape him.
The system chimed again as Matthew turned his back, and a window revealing Anthony Baskin's identity, appearance, and relationship emerged.
However, what Matthew saw in the text the system had displayed on Dominic Rayn, who owed Anthony two million dollars to cover the operating costs of his firm, which Huggins Floss had taken over, left him feeling a bit let down.
The system window disappeared once the data had been entered.
Matthew knew Anthony Baskin as a lender. However, he was unaware that Anthony Baskin was the financier of Dominic Ryan's massive enterprise.
"So when will you repay everything you owe me, Ryan?"
"Um, that's-"
Ding!
The system window appeared, allowing Matthew to talk to Anthony Baskin and try to buy time for the debt to be paid or flee.
"Is this the second scenario?" Matthew asked.
[ Correct. Please choose to be able to get ten million dollars. ]
"Why so less?!" Matthew protested.
[ Please select and complete the second scenario. ]
In the books he had read, the system had frequently given him large sums of money, so "I thought the system would immediately give me tens of millions in one scenario." It does not, however, apply to Trivia. Matthew pondered.
He only received the double money from Trivia after completing the first scenario.
"Okay! I choose the first one," Matthew said. Then the first choice changed color to green and the other to read.
[ Selection complete. Matthew Wilson, please complete the scenario. ]

25. What Was Agreed
Jennifer filled a glass of white wine and handed it to Matthew as he stepped out of the bathroom. As soon as he took the glass from her, he wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed her long neck, looking like a couple fresh off their honeymoon. “You want me to convince Jason Rogue to hand over that contract without any strings attached? That's a bit much, Rayn," Jennifer sighed, but she still embraced Matthew and accepted his kiss."No, I really don’t. I’ve never been cool with my girl flirting with someone who doesn’t matter," he explained.Even though Matthew initially planned for Jennifer Shaw to charm Jason Rogue into handing over the contract without any strings attached, he started to reconsider. Watching Jennifer’s reaction made him think that maybe her mind was on something else that could work in their favor."Do you really think Jason Rogue is so unimportant that you can just brush him off like that?" Jennifer shot back, making Matthew rethink his own words.Out of nowh
24. The Start Of The Goal
Jennifer Shaw smiled as she gently caressed Dominic Rayn’s face, her fingers dancing over his striking features. Memories of their happier times flooded back, memories that felt tainted ever since Brianna Floss came along and disrupted their bliss.If only she had the same power and financial security she enjoys now, she might have held onto Dominic. They could have been together, and he wouldn’t have endured such a devastating bankruptcy.Yep, bankruptcy. That was the first thing Dominic needed to grasp before taking over the business. Upon waking up, the main report he had to read was crucial to understanding his situation, especially since he had been keeping tabs on Dominic’s ups and downs.His presence here was a surprise, though. Jennifer knew Dominic had moved in with Fransischa Louise at the hotel where she worked after being kicked out by Brianna and her family. But now, she was left wondering what Dominic really wanted from her.“How long are you going to keep this up?” Matt
23. Heat In The Beginning
Matthew wrapped his arms around Jennifer’s waist, using Dominic Rayn’s body as a shield. She was taken aback but didn’t push him away. Every touch from the guy she had secretly wanted for years seemed to light her up. With a grin that resembled a lovestruck kid, she pulled him closer, her arms draping around his neck.“You came up to me out of the blue. But honestly, I can’t just sit here alone. Can’t you make me feel like a woman?”“Aren’t you already one?”“The woman who got left behind to marry another woman?”Her smile shifted from casual to a bit awkward as she mentioned the topic that Trivia had mentioned—how Dominic had chosen Brianna Floss over her.But Matthew wasn’t about to give up. He tightened his grip, tapping into the memories of Dominic Rayn that the system had shown him. He might not be the best at seduction, but he was determined to seal the deal on the verge of falling apart with Erica Liam.He said a few sweet words, making Jennifer blush until their faces were clo
22. Flirt On Her
"Is this her place?" Matthew asked the system. After five hours, Matthew finally pulled up to a stunning house in the forest's heart. It was the only home among the towering trees, surrounded by the peaceful sounds of nature. It felt remote, yet it was packed with cutting-edge technology.Sure, the house didn't have a tall fence or a guard station, but it was equipped with sensors in nearly every hidden corner. They could detect movement from five kilometres away, with heightened sensitivity within twenty to five meters from the house. Naturally, these sensors would alert the homeowners if a guest or an intruder approached.The system window popped up, and Trivia displayed some heat sensors that were picking up activity inside the house. Matthew grinned, feeling like he had a handle on everything happening within those walls.[Jennifer Shaw is inside, and she's got her eyes on you, Matthew Wilson. Get ready.] The system warned, hinting that the house's owner had been keeping tabs on
21. Unexpected Things
Fransischa dashed over to Matthew, who had just returned from the beach. She was moving fast, looking a bit frantic with her pale face, especially when she noticed he was already at the hotel, even though she hadn't told him to return yet."Why are you back so soon? I thought I asked you to stay longer!" she said, catching her breath."I needed guidance on where to head next. Can't I just chill in the room and grab dinner with you?"Fransischa didn't have any of Matthew's suggestions; she shook her head and insisted he leave the hotel immediately. "What? No way! You really need to get out of here. They'll definitely find you.""Come on, just hear me out. There's no way they can search every single room in this place, right?" she said, giving Fransischa a reassuring squeeze on the shoulder to ease her worries."Honestly, what's the big deal if Denias and I are in the same place? We wouldn't have gotten into it if he hadn't thrown the first punch," he said confidently."That's exactly w
20. Wiretapping & Betrayal
Matthew took a seat and gazed out at the ocean. The crashing waves filled his ears, capturing all of his attention. However, he wasn't actually listening to the beach waves; instead, he was listening to a discussion between Erica, Liam, and Denias in a hotel room. The same hotel room just down the hall from the one Fransischa had given him a few days prior.Although the conversation's voice sounded very loud, and enough people were walking past to head toward the beach, only Matthew could hear the conversation.Matthew felt a mix of curiosity and discomfort as he glanced away from the monitor multiple times, wondering, "Is this something they do regularly?"Honestly, he got lucky catching a glimpse of Erica Liam without any clothes on. Still, it was also pretty awkward for him as a single guy to see a woman in just her bra and panties in a hotel room. He was peeking through the phone camera that Trivia, the system, had hacked for him.[What do you mean, Matthew Wilson?]Matthew kept a
