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.

Taking Their Women
“There is no way you wouldn't want to marry me, Ethan!” Erin screamed, piercing through the silence in the car. Her face was twisted like a knot and he had never seen her so terrifying. “What do you mean? I never promised to do that!” He snapped at her. “I have never vowed my undying loyalty to you, why should I do that now?”“Because I have sacrificed so much to be by your side. I neglected my family, neglected my job just to live as your woman and yet, you still don't see that as anything.” She continued to scream with tears streaming down her eyes. Ethan could only purse his lips, knowing a large part of her words were true. Her job complications arose just from her clashing with the higher powers that tried to bring her down and he was also entangled with it. However, he never told her to stay away from her family. In fact, he never even spoke about her family with her. Neglecting her family was everything she did on her own but Ethan wasn't going to say that out loud because s
Let’s Get Married
Seeing Baron’s surrender, Ethan’s eyes dimmed in suspicion as he couldn't readily believe that this minister would easily relent. After all, he was proud and cocky. “Alright, start speaking.” He urged but before Baron could start, he spoke up again, “And if you dare lie to me, you are dead.”Baron frantically nodded, his eyes filled with too much fear to even lie and his first sentence shocked Ethan so well. “I wasn't the one who helped Genie out of prison.” Minister Baron began and Ethan quickly sat up in his seat, realizing it was about to get serious. “I only served as a connection between her and the other person. My only benefit was to come out of prison and become a minister again as a placeholder. This position isn't controlled by me, it’s for the benefit of that person.”Ethan was surprised at the outcome of things. No wonder Baron was a show-off. Empty people tend to make the loudest noise. “Who is this other person you are in contact with, huh? And what did Genie offer t
Dead Eyes
Even though Erin was visibly raging, Ethan sat down coolly staring at her with a blank gaze. He recalled how she had begged to be involved in the case, and yet, she let her emotions lead her. “You have ten seconds to leave, Erin. You are no longer involved in this.” He warned her. “Why?” She snapped, “First, you deceived me into thinking you wouldn't be coming and here you are. I brought you both here! If anyone should be taken out of this, it’s Mason, who stood up to leave abruptly. He ruined the whole thing before my family—”“I ordered him to do so…”“What?” She gasped. “You let your emotions rule over you, Erin. You are not fit for this.” Ethan waved his hand. “Leave before it’s too late.”However, it was obvious she wasn't ready to leave at all. Quickly, Ethan signaled Mason to get her out.“What will you do…hmmm…” Mason quickly covered her mouth, muffling her words. At the same time, he held her body together making her thrash, trying to get away from his grip but then, he wa
A Simple Note
One day later…Mason held Erin by the arm, walking her into the grand venue to greet her family for the night. He had a gift box in hand, looking very charming but then he had his eyes scanning the room. His glasses, which complemented his black tailored suit had tiny cameras on them, sending live feed of the event to Ethan. Mason gently scanned the hall but Minister Baron was nowhere to be seen. Though there were other government officials of his caliber in the event, no one seemed to be concerned about his absence. “Are you sure Baron is going to be here?” He asked Erin who clutched his hand rigidly. “Well, I don’t know.” She hissed. “We will have to find out.”Ever since Ethan switched up on her last minute, she had been gloomy. She thought she was going to show him off for once before the high society and her family but he was a step before her. Deep in her mind, she hoped Baron wouldn't even appear! Her grievance overshadowed her reasoning, her emotions rising to an all-time
Erin’s Happiness
Driving into his mansion, Ethan had his fingers on his chin, deep in thoughts. Getting to minister Baron would be a long walk especially when trying to get him involved in the scam case. Minister Baron had a lot of power on his side, one that definitely aided him in getting Genie out of prison. Fighting against such a man might be a lot of toll. Ethan had to strategize the perfect plan and not just go in rashly. But then he knew the minister would get news about Genie’s disappearance. Would it be soon and would he be able to trace it back to Ethan?As he got out of the car, he realized there was no way it could be traced back to him. After all, his men had done a clean job. He spotted Erin right outside the building looking very worried and he wanted to ignore her completely but then, as she quickly approached the car, he became concerned. “Ethan, Eva is not in the house.” She said, shocking him. “And why would you care?” He raised a brow, suspicion stirring in his mind. “Uhmmm…”
The Raging Old Man
Genie was immensely surprised that Ethan knew about Elvis Chris and the Minister. She had truly underestimated her biggest opponent. It was easy to conquer her husband but Ethan, it didn't seem so. But at the same time, she wondered how he got to know. Everything she did was securely under wraps and only a few people knew she was out of prison. “You want to know how I got out of prison, right?” She tilted her head to the side, her gaze scanning. Ethan pursed his lips, seeing the way she stared at him like a specimen under scrutiny. “You amaze me, Ethan.” She chuckled. “You were able to find out about the minister and Elvis, yet you couldn't find out about such a simple thing. Are your resources limited?” Ethan didn't react to her provocative words just like she wanted, instead, his smile was cool, one that made her swallow. “You know what?” He grinned, his eyes darkening sending warning bells in her head. “I don't need to know how you got out.” He slowly stood up to his feet, a
