Adrian sat in his room, staring at his phone screen which showed the time.
11:59 pm
A few seconds later, it hit 12 and at the same time he saw a notification appear in front of his eyes.
Money Spent: 50 Dollars
Ding! You have received 100 Dollars.
Please select your mode of payment.
1. Cash
2. Bank Account 3. OthersAs someone who just turned 18, he didn’t have his own bank account so he picked the only viable option — Cash.
Crisp 20 Dollar bills appeared in front of him before falling down to the floor. He picked them up and put them in his pocket before lying down in his bed.
“Real bills… this system thing is real. I’m not hallucinating.” he muttered before closing his eyes.
The next day, he busied himself with getting a slot for his driving test, renting a car for the test and taking the test, which he passed with flying colors.
With his new driving license in hand, he spent the tiny bit of his remaining money on snacks and went home to sleep.
He woke up the next day to a new notification.
Money Spent: 100 Dollars
Ding! You have received 200 Dollars.
Once again, he picked cash and headed out early in the morning. He already had a plan set up and all he had to do, was implement it.
He walked four miles until he got to a car rental shop, the key to his plans. He needed something that he could use for faster travelling and a car was exactly what he needed.
Adrian headed inside and got a list of cars available along with their pricing, which he took a good look at before making his selection.
There were multiple cars from small, medium, large cars, SUVs, vans and pickup trucks.
Among all of these, Adrian went for the one that looked really good and had great features.
It was from BMZ, a well known car brand. A BMZ S7, a luxury SUV that was really smooth and also fast.
Its rental price was 180 dollars a day if he went for a daily plan but it could drop to 170 if he paid for a weekly plan, which was a total of 1190 dollars.
The rental process was smooth for one simple reason — the shop owner had known Adrian’s mother for years.
He didn’t ask for a deposit, didn’t bother with extra paperwork, and handed him the keys within minutes.He drove out of the shop with the car after just five minutes. As for the rest of the 20 dollars, all of it went into fuel for the car.
With the car fuelled up, he drove back home and parked the car right in front of the porch, beside his dad’s old car that looked pretty worn down.
“Oh my god! Mom!! Come take a look at what this idiot just brought home!!”
Adrian turned to look at Bella who ran into the house, screaming like the world was about to end. Soon, the whole family walked out.
Their looks of annoyance switched to that of utter shock but it only stayed for a moment. Aurora glared at Adrian as she pointed at the car.
“Where did you get the money for something like this?!”
“Yeah… it’s a BMZ S7, a luxury SUV that blends in sports utility into it. It’s a beast and it’s expensive… very expensive.” Mike said, his mouth slightly open as he stared at the beauty in front of him.
Aurora frowned as she looked at her son, “How much does it cost?”
“A new one goes for approximately 90,000 dollars. He’s not that rich so it’s probably someone else’s. He either borrowed it from someone or stole it.” Bella said from behind.
Mike immediately shook his head and laughed, “No, it’s rented. Look at the license plate.”
Lily squinted her eyes and read the words on top of the license plate, “Zero Mile Rentals.”
“Hah, this idiot really rented such a car.” Mike smirked as he looked at Adrian, “Why waste money on something like this when it’s not even going to be yours?”
“Just felt like it.” Adrian said as he walked past them, into the house while they followed behind him. They watched as he spread some hazelnut chocolate spread on a slice of bread and took a bite.
Aurora walked over angrily and snatched the jar from his hand before glaring at him.
“That’s not yours, you son of a wench! Why did you waste money on a dumb car when you could have given it to me?!” she screamed hysterically.
Adrian took a step back, turned around and just walked out of the house instead of replying to her, which only angered her even more.
Outside, he saw Mike standing right next to the car with a wide grin on his face.
“Give me the keys, ass face. I’ll take it on a nice drive.”
“Excuse me, I got things to do. Go play your games with someone else.” Adrian said as he walked towards him without any hesitation.
He clenched his fist tight as he got closer. Mike wasn’t a person he wanted to mess with, but he also didn’t wish to back down without a fight.
Mike frowned as he hadn’t expected a rejection but once he realised what was going on, his expression hardened and his face turned red with anger.
“You dare? Do you want to get beat up, you da—”
Bang!
Adrian did not wait for Mike to finish his sentence as he sent a fist flying straight to his face, hitting him perfectly. He didn’t stop and punched with his other hand, a hook straight to his jaw.
First punch shook him up while the second one was a complete knock out.
Mike fell onto the ground while Adrian stood in front of him, just looking down at his knocked out brother.
He could hear a gasp from behind him, but he didn’t bother with it and got into the car before driving away.
“In my last life, I endured everything. In this one, I refuse.”

Quest Complete
The Director of Admissions’ office looked exactly like what Adrian expected from a man who sold futures for a living.Polished wooden desk, shelves lined with leather-bound books nobody had read in years, a framed photo of a smiling family on a beach, and floor-to-ceiling windows that showed off the Urizona campus like a real estate brochure.Behind the desk, a middle-aged man in a navy suit flipped through a file with a bored expression on his face.Nameplate: Dr. Maxwell Sterling.Adrian knocked once.“Come in,” Sterling said without looking up.Adrian pushed the door open and stepped inside, closing it behind him. He didn’t lock it. He just let it click shut and made his way toward the desk with calm, steady steps.Sterling finally lifted his head.He took one look at Adrian’s worn jeans, basic sneakers and simple shirt—and his eyes screamed _waste of time_ even before his mouth opened.“Yes?” Sterling asked, voice polite but already dismissing him.“I’m here about an admission to
Busy Collecting Cards
“Just a little worried since you’re acting a bit different from when we first met. Though, if you don’t mind.. can I ask you something?” Adrian asked.Letty shrugged, “Go on. Don’t ask me out though, we’re not that close yet.”Adrian gave her a sideways glance before speaking, “My gpa is 2.0 and I looked at multiple universities but I can’t really find anything good. Do you have any recommendations for one that accepts anyone as long as they pay?”“Well, there’s the University of Urizona. The prices range but for most courses, it’s 40,000 to 50,000 a year.”“That’s pretty close to where I live…” Adrian muttered as he thought about it and after a while, he hesitated slightly.Letty noticed this and chuckled, “Just ask, I won’t judge.”“Well, is there a way I can not pay taxes after paying my fees? I don’t wanna get involved in taxes while I’m studying.”“You don’t pay taxes when you pay for your education.” she said and frowned slightly as she looked at him, “Just tell me what’s on you
The Chauffeur
Adrian walked out of the supermarket with 6 packs of cards and 6 cans of caviar. He tossed them all in his car and spent his last remaining 50 dollars on his supper before he went straight back to the supermarket.Inside the car, he grabbed the card packs and decided to move on to the second step of his experiment.Buying the card packs was essentially a gamble but it was also a collection item. Which meant that it wasn’t all just gambling and he wanted to see what his system would categorise it as.Out of the six packs, he opened four and kept two unopened before waiting for the clock to hit 12.Money Spent: 2010 DollarsDing! You have received 4020 Dollars.“Hah! Nice, so buying the packs and not opening them isn’t considered gambling. And what if I open them the next day after I have my money doubled? Will I have the money deducted?” he said out loud as he picked up the two unopened packs.Without any hesitation, he ripped them open and tossed the cards to the side before looking u
Letty Garcia's Offer
“Not yet a student but I will get an admission soon. Just earning money so I can pay the fees without taking a loan.” he finally spoke after he swallowed the food in his mouth.The lady nodded and continued smiling, “And you’re paying almost 170 dollars a day in a premium hotel like this?”“I have my reasons.” Adrian said, not elaborating as he took a bite of his pancakes.“Everyone does.” she said and extended her hand outwards, “Letty. Letty Garcia.”“Letty Garcia….” Adrian muttered as he finally looked up at her properly. Previously, he had just taken a glance but now, he couldn’t stop himself as he remembered the name from his previous life.She was involved in a big incident, with the headlines saying “Millionaire Investor gives away all her money to charity.”And a few months later, she had disappeared. No more news, but there were rumors online that Adrian still remembered and some of them were confirmed thanks to a detailed investigation a few months later.The man she married
Problem At The Hotel
Adrian woke up the next morning and yawned as he stared at the ceiling.“Two Thousand Dollars in cash…” he muttered as he felt the stack of bills under his pillow. He had saved up money in the past but he only saw numbers back then due to him saving all his money in the bank.The difference of seeing mere numbers and having a thick wad of cash was like a difference of night and day. He finally felt like he was rich, which made him smile slightly.“Who said money doesn’t bring you happiness?” he asked as he looked at his own reflection in the mirror.He was tall, standing at six foot four inches, which was approximately 193 centimeters.His slightly long unkempt hair was long and healthy even though it looked slightly messy. The five day old stubble was hard to not notice as he was gifted with some good genetics.Broad shoulders, thin waist and overall, a face that was a mix of both cuteness and handsomeness.But even with all this, he had barely gotten himself a girlfriend in his past

Once she made up her mind about something, she never took a step back. If there’s anything you need, just ask me Adrian. You’re my best friend’s son.”Adrian smiled. It was a genuine smile that he
