2024-06-23 03:17:39Ethan’s eyes opened up slowly and he could feel his heart thumping in his chest. Was he scared or not, he wasn't sure about that because he started to wonder whether he was in the bad part of the afterlife or not?
His eyes were a bit dizzy at first but then they slowly made out where he was. And then his heart skipped a beat seeing that he was at the hospital with other patients in his ward. “I'm not dead!” He wasn't sure whether to be happy about that because he could feel pain shooting through his body and he was practically wrapped in bandages. The pain was getting too much and he could feel his body almost convulsing. The machines connected to his body started to blare loudly and he opened his mouth to call for a nurse but there was none around. “Any…anyone there?” he struggled to say and his breath caught in his throat while he held onto the bedside tightly, to fight the pain. But suddenly everything stopped, his body went still and it was as if the whole world went silent. He couldn't hear the blaring sounds anymore and there was a loud silence in his head. And then suddenly, a robotic voice echoed in his head spreading to his ears, almost deafening them. [1…2…3… Ethan Blackwood, you have acquired the Rich Harem System] “What's going on?” He asked in his head and he wanted to speak out but it was as if his mouth was blocked and he could say nothing. [Next up, installing System 20% 40% 60% 80% 100% Installed! Congratulations on your new System, Ethan. You can go ahead to perform your tasks!] As those words resounded in his head, he felt a gripping feeling and his body went limp and calm. It was like he regained control of his body again and he looked around to see if anyone had noticed but the patients present all looked at him, panicked for his health. “Are you okay?” One of the patients asked and he nodded slowly. Surprisingly, he felt no pain and the machines had stopped blaring. “Stay calm, the doctor is coming soon.” Another patient said and all he could do was nod. They probably didn't notice what just happened to me. It was surreal but was also familiar. Suddenly, a screen appeared before his eyes and he gasped in surprise mixed with shock. It was a bit translucent and he looked around to see if anyone had noticed but no one did. On the screen were a few things to take note of and he frowned lightly wondering what all these meant. “What are all these?” he asked and he got the answer right away as that voice from earlier resonated in his head again and words were displayed on the screen. [Women picking skills: 0] [Charm: 0] [Looks: 2] [Fighting skills: Level 1] [Account balance: $10] [You are advised to perform tasks to boost your skills, how can you own a harem without even having money?] “What the fuck is this?” He screamed in his head at the savage words he just heard. Everything before him was making him question his worth as a man. He could strangle anyone who dared to insult him this way but then it was just a robotic voice. He took a deep breath, trying not to question himself if he was going crazy or not but then something clicked in his head. “My Rich Squandering System…” he muttered and it was the name of an online novel he read some time ago. It was about a system and what just happened to him was the same as what happened in the book. “Am I dreaming? Or am I in another world?” he asked and he involuntarily started to fantasize about spending lavishly like Robin in the novel. But then he wondered what was so special about him, for this to happen to him. “Doctor, you are here.” he heard one of the patients say as the door opened up. A female doctor came walking in with a stressed look on her face but that did not diminish her beauty in the slightest way. But while he admired her beauty as she walked toward him, that robotic voice resounded in his head again. [New Mission unlocked! Flirt with the doctor and the reward will be based on your performance.] That was an instruction and he was compelled to do it. But how could he? He didn't even know what to do. “Hello, Mr. Ethan. I'm here for you.” She said and his whole world was blown away.

Make Me The New CEO
"It's my sister's funeral, I am glad you didn't let that woman grace it." Aria hissed as she stepped out of the hospital arm in arm with Ethan."Why do you say so? You sound like you hate her." Ethan's brows creased. He couldn't think of any relation Erin and Aria had for there to be such hostility. "No..." Aria stuttered, her eyes darting around as she was embarrassed."Are you jealous?" Ethan clocked it immediately."Of course not!" Aria gasped, her fingers tightening in Ethan's grip, not wanting to let go. "I am just worried she wouldn't want me near you. I..just...""I understand." He said before she could finish, after all, he knew she was under the influence of the Women Soothing Technique. "But you don't need to worry, Erin is easygoing—""Is she your woman?" Aria cut in, her voice shaking.Ethan pursed his lips, thinking for a moment, because due to their recent altercation, Erin had fallen away from his heart. But she was back now, and she had apologized. He had to take her
Crawling Her Way Back
The next day…Erin didn't bother meeting up with Ethan at the hospital. After all, what would she say to him? She had nothing but spite for him now and the little affection she had for him had been snuffed yesterday by Genie’s teachings. Now, all she wanted to do was crawl her way back into Ethan’s life and she would do that when he finally woke up. She had gone straight to his mansion, and there was no one there to stop her. It was as if every one of his underlings had disappeared and she couldn't help but think it had to do with Ethan and the secret power he possessed. She relaxed, twirling around the house like a ballerina ready to strike. However, a few minutes later, her phone buzzed. “Hello, Miss Erin, this is the City’s hospital. Ethan Blackwood is awake.”In that moment, she froze, her eyes widening in shock. But she quickly regained herself and a smile bloomed on her face, “Really? I will be there.”The call ended and Erin ran out to get ready for battle. From this moment
Spilling Ethan’s Secret
Three hours later…Ethan was wheeled back into the ward room, Erin was there, waiting for the bad news. Skillfully putting up a weak front and crying. “We have done all necessary tests on him.” The doctor said, his lips pursed with brows creased. “However, there is absolutely nothing wrong with him.”“What?” Erin gasped. “Yes. It's shocking for us too.” They nodded. “But.. But why is he asleep and can’t wake up?” She asked. “Well, we don’t know for sure. We will have to wait until he wakes up. At the same time, further tests will be carried out on him.” Erin clutched her phone, shivering slightly. What if Ethan woke up? Her deal with Genie would be elongated and it would mean more stress for her. What was actually wrong with him? She knew Ethan to be strong and invincible and she definitely knew he had a secret to his power, however, she didn't know what it was.“That might be what’s happening...” She whispered, her gaze dimming. “Maybe his so-called power is leaving him and the
Fake Tears
Ethan’s eyes snapped open, red and teary, with red veins straining the surface as if they were going to burst out the next second. His fingers clawed on the dirt floor of the prison, trying to suppress the pain that was currently tearing him apart. His arms and legs wobbled as he struggled to get up, his eyes now blurred with tears. However, he saw through the darkness, his head whirling around. “Shit!” He cursed when he saw that Genie was nowhere to be found. Her chains were already let loose and her footprints led out of the prison bars. “Why is this happening?” he whispered, clutching his chest. He thought the pain in his body had reached its height, but then, it was only just starting especially with the burn that drilled through his chest. He wobbled out of the cell, staggering and trying to look out for any of his guards or Mason but no one was there. Absolutely no one. The weight of the system’s punishment finally dawned on him. After all, he was being punished for a deat
Battle Axe
Ethan’s System stats all went down to zero as the world turned blank in his eyes. In the next second, he staggered, falling heavily to the damp floor of the prison. Bang!The sound echoed, one that should have reached the number of guards stationed outside the prison but no one heard him and no one came. Genie stared in shock at the lifeless figure on the floor, her hands itching, desperately thinking of what to do. Was he faking this to get her to slip? She couldn't tell. “Ethan?” She called out, slowly standing up to touch him. This time, the chains didn't hold her back as she had been released before now. The tip of her finger pushed against his head, however, there was no movement from him. She crawled closer, examining his face. He was still breathing however, shallow. His skin had gone deathly pale and beads of sweat gathered on his forehead. “Woah…” Her eyes went wide, a sly smile tugging at the ends of her lips. This was a miracle! A perfect one! It was a one-in-a-million
