Million dollar

"Where am I?"

Asher's eyes opened, greeted by white walls. He looked left, noticing a heart rate monitor beeping steadily, a sterile scent lingering, and the soft hum of medical equipment. Nurses in scrubs hurried past the half-open door, and distant conversations echoed, confirming his suspicion – he was in a hospital room.

"How did I get here?" he asked himself.

The last thing he recalled was the heartbreaking scene at his workplace – losing both his girlfriend and job on the same day. How bad could his life be?

Soon, a nurse rushed into the room upon noticing Asher was up. She was a blonde-haired lady with a nice figure, dressed in a neat, pretty nurse uniform.

"How are you feeling?" she asked, checking the heart rate monitor.

"I feel alright. But how did I get here? Who brought me here?" he inquired.

"A kind old man brought you here and paid all the bills for you. You don't have to worry about the payment. Just get healed quickly," she smiled.

"Old man, did he tell you his name or anything?"

"No, now that you ask, he didn't actually say his name. He said you might know who he is when you wake up, but he mentioned something. He said you should take good care of the necklace."

"Wait, necklace." Asher recalled the necklace was around his neck when he was thrown out of work.

"Did you see any necklace? I'm sure it was on me before I fainted."

"Sorry, you weren't wearing any necklace when he brought you here. Also, you shouldn't stress yourself this much and instead focus on healing. I'll ask the cleaners to search around for it later."

While she spoke, Asher noticed a holographic window appearing in front of his eyes.

[[ Billionaire God System Online ]]

[[ Welcome Host ]]

[[ Welcome Back ]]

He observed it weirdly and cleaned his eyes thoroughly. What was this in front of him? Was he dreaming?

"What is wrong, sir?" the nurse asked.

"Nothing, it is just this hologram in front of my eyes."

"What holograph, sir?"

"This one, the one right here. Over here, it is floating around me."

"Sir, please lay down and sleep. The stress must be affecting your head. I will go on and inform the doctor but do well to rest a little."

'Wait, she can't see it. Does that mean I'm the only one seeing this, or am I going mental?'

[[ No Host, you aren't going mental. Only you can See, Hear, and Interact with the system ]]

This time, a strange robotic voice accompanied the holograph.

'You are a system, like those strange entities helping characters in novels? Are you sure I'm not dreaming? Systems only exist in fictions.'

[[ Yes, we are exactly like those Systems you speak about, only difference being that you own this system and it is real ]]

'What can you do for me, then? This world isn't a magic world with monsters, and I am just a normal human with below-average luck in work and women.'

[[ The Billionaire God System is here to Help Host become the Billionaire God of this world. The system will issue random missions. Once you complete them, money will be added to your account ]]

[[ With a lot of Missions Completed, You will be a billionaire or even a trillionaire in no time ]]

Asher didn't believe that just by completing missions he could become a billionaire. Also, what kind of mission would he get?

[[ DING! ]]

[[ TESTING MISSION HAS APPEARED ]]

[[ MISSION: Answer the following questions ]]

[[ Question 1: Who is the richest man in your country? ]]

[[ Question 2: Who is the most followed superstar in your country? ]]

[[ Question 3: There are 20 Cows in a field and 15 ate Roasted Chicken. How many cows didn't eat? ]]

[[ Rewards: 1/3 correct: $100k 2/3 correct: $500k 3/3 correct: $1M ]]

[[ Penalty: You will be cursed with bad luck for 72 Hours ]]

Asher stared at the System. What were these cheap questions? Kids in kindergarten could answer them correctly.

'Is this a joke?'

[[ No, it is a testing mission ]]

Asher stared at the system for a few seconds and began answering the questions verbally.

"The richest man in Astoria is William D. Astorian..."

"The most followed superstar is Vivienne Ashford..."

"For number 3, cows don't eat chicken, so none of them are..."

The answers were too simple that he didn't even have to crack his brain for an answer.

[[ BRAVO!! MISSION COMPLETED ]]

[[ You got 3/3 correct ]]

[[ One million dollars have been transferred to your bank account ]]

Asher didn't believe it; he was still unsure if he was drunk or just seeing things he wasn't supposed to see.

However, he felt a vibration on the cupboard beside the bed. It was his phone. He quickly stretched his hands to grab the phone.

"I'm sure it is a notification from customer service; it happens a lot. There is no way it would be money... Wait, no way!"
