Andrew stared at the system panel before him in excitement.
It was time to get his rewards.
[Host has taken down one of his money.]
[Achievement unlocked.]
[Achievement: Mass spender.]
[Mass spender: A billion dollars spent in a day.]
[Reward: A hundred million dollars.]
Andrew heard a ding from the phone in his pocket.
"This is real!" He said in a loud voice.
His bank had sent another alert to him.
Before he could celebrate, another panel appeared in front of him.
[Achievement unlocked.]
[Achievement: Golden Speedster.]
[Golden Speedster: Host used less than twenty-four hours for a daily goal.]
[Reward: A hundred million dollars.]
A notification sound from his phone echoed through the office, and Andrew didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
[Achievement unlocked.]
[Achievement: Fast Achiever.]
[Fast Achiever: Earned more than one achievement in a day.]
[Reward: Three hundred million dollars.]
"This is too much."
Andrew laughed out loud. He never imagined he would have so much in one day.
[Quest rewards configured.]
[Unlocking a new skill.]
[Skill unlocked: Income multiplier X5]
[Skill description: Using this skill allows you to increase your income five times. The skill will upgrade, leading to an increase in the multiplier value.]
"So I can use it to multiply any income I gain?" Andrew muttered.
[Affirmative.]
A monotone voice answered his question.
Andrew paced around. He wanted to test out the skill he had just obtained.
"Can I multiply the rewards earned from my achievements?" Andrew suddenly asked.
[No.]
[Host can only use Income multiplier skill on income or profit gained by the host's intelligence and hard work.]
"Don't call me host. I have a name." Andrew said.
There was a pause from the system, and a wave of anxiety passed through Andrew as he waited for the following statement.
[Ok.]
[Would you like me to call you Mr. Raine or Andrew?]
"Andrew. Let's stick with that." Andrew said with a smile on his face.
With the system calling him host every time, he couldn't help but feel stiff whenever he heard that monotone voice.
"How can I make my income?" Andrew asked himself, pondering over what the system had told him.
Then, an idea appeared in his mind; following his newfound plan, Andrew brought out his phone from his pocket.
"Hello. Am I speaking to the manager of Cunningham's Hotel?" Andrew asked when he heard the connection from the other end of the line.
"Yes, you are. Who is this, please?" The receiver spoke in a questioning tone.
"Andrew." A name from Andrew was enough for the manager to remember the event surrounding this name.
"Mr. Raine. Please, how may I help you?" The manager, Mr. Terry, stuttered in surprise.
Andrew kept quiet for a while before he answered the question.
"I want to expand the Hotel. I want to add some new buildings." Andrew smiled when he told Mr. Terry his plans.
Mr. Terry couldn't stop his mouth widening at the other end of the call, but he quickly spoke.
"What do you intend to do, Mr. Raine?" The manager said after calming himself.
"I want to build a spa and a restaurant. Can you work with that?" Andrew smiled as he relayed his thoughts to the manager.
"I understand why we need a restaurant, but why do we need a spa?" Terry couldn't help but ask. The restaurant could help bring more customers, but why was the spa needed?
"Don't worry, Mr. Terry, that's for me to take care of. With time, you'll understand." Andrew said in a cryptic tone.
Mr. Terry couldn't fathom what was going on in the mind of this wealthy billionaire that he wanted to waste such an amount of money.
"Ok. Sir, so what… " Terry's sentence was interrupted by a cough from Andrew.
"Just call me Andrew. We are partners." Andrew voiced out in a soft tone.
He wasn't used to people addressing him with such words.
"But… okay, I'll call you Andrew." Terry couldn't see himself calling such a top man by his name, but he would get used to it.
"When should I start the hotel development?" Terry said into the phone.
"Immediately." Andrew's voice resounded in the call's background, and the line went dead.
Terry stared at the phone in his hand for a while. What did he mean immediately?
He didn't have the money to start building a spa immediately. He was about to call Andrew back and ask for an amount when he heard a notification sound that interrupted his thoughts.
'Bank Credit Alert.'
'Received fifty million naira from Mr. Andrew Raine.'
Terry nearly went into a coughing fit when he saw the bank alert.
"This man is a money god." He exclaimed, a smile spread across his face.
Andrew had sent the money because he didn't know how much it would cost to build the buildings he had in mind.
Adding a spa and restaurant to such a big hotel would probably be a lot.
Andrew looked at his phone before deciding to message Mr. Terry.
"If there is any leftover money, you can keep it. Thank you for being so cooperative."
Andrew knew it was best to build trust with those he worked with to avoid any betrayal.
Meanwhile, Terry, on the other side of the phone, saw the message, and he almost bled from his nose in shock.
The leftover money would amount to probably twenty million dollars.
He decided that he would inform Andrew of the money that remained, and maybe then, he would change his mind.
Andrew went behind his desk, sat on the soft chair, and pressed a button before speaking.
"Shelby. Prepare contract documents for a spa. I need a new spa to announce to the public, which would help promote our market."
Andrew spoke with a tone of authority.
"Yes, Sir." Shelby stuttered.
As she prepared the contract, she couldn't help but wonder where her boss had found a spa in such a short amount of time.
He was efficient and handsome, too.
Andrew was about to end the call when he remembered something.
"Hello, Shelby?" He asked to check if she was still listening
"Sir?" Shelby muttered a reply.
"I want you to announce to the public that the Comsor Terrain company has declared a new spa to advertise their services." Andrew smiled into the phone as he spoke. However, he wasn't done.
"Inform the public that there is a sixty percent discount for the first five hundred people that book
a session in the new spa location at the Cunningham's Hotel," Andrew concluded with a sigh.
Having such control was starting to tire, but he would enjoy every bit of it.
"Noted, Sir. Whose name should I put it in?" Shelby's smooth voice sounded from the other end of the phone.
Andrew thought about the question for a while. It wouldn't be best to let anyone know about his identity for now, especially the Winters.
"Publish under the name Mr. A," Andrew said when he finally decided.
It would be better to appear under a hidden name.
"Okay, Sir, I'll get right to it."
Shelby said, and the line disconnected.
It was time for Andrew to relax and watch his plan play out.
Three days later, the news about the spa built by the Comsor Terrain cosmetics company spread throughout the city.
The internet wasn't excluded as everyone tweeted about the opening of a spa in Cunningham Hotel.
"I can't believe there will be a spa in that hotel. It doesn't even have many customers." An influencer posted on his profile.
"Who cares about that? It's sixty percent off. That's a lot of free time." Someone commented under his post.
The discount spiked everyone's interest as they wondered what kind of crazy CEO would reduce his profit in such a low manner.
However, who didn't like free stuff?
The Cunningham hotel was packed with customers; they rushed in to check out the new spa, and Terry was finding it hard to keep them under control.
He had expected that the boss would only announce it when they were done building, but the crowd didn't want to hear anything.
Some of them even booked for after the building was completed.
No one wanted to sleep on the offer as it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Shelby sauntered into Andrew's office, holding a file in her hands.
"Good morning, Sir. We have a problem, and the customers are angry about the slow completion of the spa building."
Andrew sat in his seat, a corner of his lips lifting.
It was just like he had planned.
"Increase the discount percentage." He said in a breath.
The air in the office became still, and a frown appeared on Shelby's face.
"But, Sir, no profit would be left for us."
She uttered, trying to appease Andrew into changing his mind, but he was adamant.
"Increase the discount percentage to ninety percent." Andrew's smile grew wider as he swiveled in his chair.
Shelby's jaw fell open. His words were outrageous.
She felt her new boss was an amateur in the business world, but what he just said proved the thought right.
"Sir, I'd advise against taking such a decision because it would reduce the market flow of the company." Shelby gave an argument.
Andrew raised his eyes in a glaring look, and his mouth opened.
"When you have the company in your name, you can do what you want with it. Now get on with the advert placement."
Shelby turned around immediately, her heels clicking on the floor as she silently fumed.
She couldn't wait for everything to blow up in his face.
Andrew, on the other hand, couldn't wait for the looks on the Winters' face.

EXHAUSTED
"What do you mean by that?" He growled after he was updated about the state of his health bars. There was nothing he got in response, and that made his blood run cold. He couldn't imagine being defeated by the giant thing in front of him. He got up again, feeling refreshed and strong again before moving back to a safe distance to think about what to do next.It was very clear from the foregoing that this was going to be a very hard mission, and if he wanted to win it he had to use his brain, rather than his brawny side. He had to plan, but it was frustrating because his best two options had just been thwarted and used against him before he knew what was happening. If he tried to keep on fighting without thinking, he knew he would surely be defeated in the blink of any eye. But it was worrisome because there was nothing he could do now, every other option he had in his mind was gone. Gritting his teeth against the cluelessness he was going through, he continued to think about it, ho
KNOCKED OUT
From the way that the ground shook, he knew that the enemy was coming and needed to be very prepared for whatever and whoever the bops of the level three was. With the mystery sword in his hand, he started to walk around, navigating the virtual landscape of level 3. However, he was faced with a shocking realisation that the mission wasn't just direct, it involved a lot of side but quick quests that he needed to perform before getting there. There were always one or two bugs he had to kill before moving forward. These bugs came in the form of some things- like miniature lizard men. He also had to keep an eye for poisonous plants that seemed to be newly added to the virtual landscape. They lay strewn along the path, and were probably waiting to strike whoever crossed it. The system made sure to explain it to Andre who also made sure to watch out for them and avoid coming in contact with it. According to the system, the poisonous plants didn't totally kill anyone it came in contact w
IMPROMPTU
Some days later, Andrew was going about his usual routine when he suddenly began to feel a strange sensation. It kept pulling at him, and it felt as if an invisible force was tugging at him from all directions. He couldn't understand what was going on and it got more confusing because his system hadn't told him anything. He was so terrified as the feeling continued to intensify. It got so bad that he began to feel dizzy. He staggered to the couch in the living room and collapsed on it before facepalming in confusion. "What is going on?" He asked, groaning in pain. He looked around him but his vision was suddenly starting to feel dizzy. His system didn't respond, which further heightened his confusion, distress and fear. Was there a malfunction? He thought, before slumping right on the floor. He could feel his senses shutting down, and before he could react, the familiar portal appeared in front of him. It glowed, and he was half-expecting something or someone to come out from it.
GILL
Andrew devised a plan as soon as he got out of the alleyway that evening. He wasn't going to wait around before doing what he needed to do. He wanted to deal with James, with those that he had bullied in the past. He couldn't imagine the sight of seeing him being dealt with by the same people he considered weak and vulnerable. The search for potential allies began the next morning, and the first person he reached out to was a young man with tousled blonde hair. He was hunched over a collection of broken Gadgets as he worked. His name was Gilbert, and he was a very talented mechanic whose skills had been overshadowed by James and his oppressive regime. He approached Gilbert with a friendly smile and sat right beside him. Gilbert didn't say anything when he saw Amdrew, he just looked up and continued to work on his stuff. He feared he was going to be bullied yet again, and it would be best if he just kept to himself and didn't say anything that would incite the bullying. "Hey there,
A NEW OPPORTUNITY
The next day came with a lot of surprises, a staggering lot. The next day, Andrew was sitting in the crowded auditorium after an announcement was made online. The auditorium was bedecked with noise until the school chancellor took the stage, and his voice boomed over the chatter of the students. You could hear a pin drop now. "Attention, everyone!" He said, and smiled as he paused as if allowing the announcement to sink in before he continued again. Andrew looked around, wondering if James was somewhere around. He doubted it. "It's that time of the year again- the season for choosing our school president." He said, and the whole.crowd erupted in cheers. Andrew felt a thrill of excitement run through him when he heard that. This was his chance to make a name for himself, to prove that he was more than just a lowly street fighter. But quickly and sadly, he reminded himself that he was here for a mission and that was to defeat James, not fight for a position in a school. He was inte
THE FIRST PHASE
The duo rounded a corner before they began walking down into an alley. Behind them were James's men. Some of them had been wounded during the fight but the injuries sustained were not bad.The alley had a faint glow of streetlights which cast eerie shadows on the graffiti-covered walls. Andrew knew that James was about to pair him up with somebody big, but he didn't care as a matter of fact. He had every resource to deal with whoever it was. But there wasn't a doubt that he was filled with anticipation. And if there was anything he was happy for, it was the fact that James didn't waste much of his time before introducing himself and offering him a chance to join his men. They didn't didn't stop walking until they reached a cul-de-sac at the end of the alley. James turned and pushed something in the wall while Andrew watched. After some seconds, the small parchment on the door opened and two curious eyes stuck out to observe who had paid them a visit. The parchment closed almost imme
