Zach was confused.
He sat up slowly. Had he imagined it? Or did he really just hear those words? “Installation complete.” The voice had been clear and loud even. Not like a passing thought or some internal monologue. It felt like it had echoed directly inside his mind. He rubbed his face, maybe it was the stress. He hadn’t slept well in days, hadn’t eaten properly, hadn’t even smiled in what felt like forever. [Racking up Fame Points] [Fame Points Throughout Lifetime = 102] This time, it was crystal clear, Zach heard it. [Superstar System is ready.] Then there was a long silence. Zach was confused. What was that just now? he thought silently. After a long silence, Zach heard another voice. “Woah, I’m finally out?” It sounded like a baby’s voice. Just then, Zach saw a big wheel appear in front of him. He was shocked. “Hey, hurry up and spin it! You have three free spins,” Zach heard the same childish voice again. “Who are you?” Zach asked. “You don’t need to know who I am. Just know that I’m here to help you… Now hurry up and spin.” “Here, let me explain it to you. You were chosen by me, the Superstar System. Your life just got a whole lot easier. The wheel in front of you is a starter pack. If you're lucky, you might get something huge from a single spin,” the Superstar System continued. Zach was confused, he didn’t understand a thing this voice was saying. But when he looked over at the wheel, his eyes went blurry. There were so many things, too many to count. Then his eyes caught something. “Life Fruit?” Zach muttered. “That?…” the system paused. “That’s the Fruit of Life. The chance of spinning that is like one in a million. Even if you had a million spins, you still might not get it.” “What does it do?” Zach asked. “As its name implies, it adds 50 years to a human lifespan. It can also bring someone back who’s at death’s door.” Zach’s eyes widened. “Can I use it on my mom?” he asked, a spark of hope in his voice. “Yes, anyone can take it. But don’t get your hopes up, kid. Don’t think you’ll get that with just three starter spins.” Zach took a deep breath. He still felt like he was dreaming. He didn’t know if any of this was real, but he didn’t care, he had to spin. No harm in trying, after all. Zach spun the wheel and watched it go. It spun fast, then began to slow. It was about to land on something. Zach held his breath. [Congratulations, you have gotten an item: “30 Minutes Rewind.”] “What luck! This item helps you to—” the Superstar System started. “Cut the bullshit, I need the Life Fruit,” Zach said and spun again. Zach wanted his mom to live, no matter what. The wheel spun again. [Congratulations, you have gotten an item: “Lucky Tablet x10.”] “You’re kidding me, right?” the system shouted. “What’s that?” Zach asked. “That tablet is so rare. Unlike other items, it boosts your luck. It helps you in the moment, based on what you really need. But how much luck you get depends on what you’re aiming for. If it’s the Life Fruit, then you will probably need a thousand lucky tablet to get it, it’ll also only boost your odds for 10 minutes.” “If I take this tablet, will I have a chance at getting the Life Fruit?” Zach asked. “Yes, but like I said, even with the tablet, your chance is close to zero, if not zero.” Zach didn’t listen. He took the tablet. It had an ethereal feeling in his hand, like it was real and unreal at the same time. He swallowed it. It had an oily taste. “Taking multiple at once can also increase luck,” the system said. Zach immediately threw more into his mouth. When he got to the fifth one, he heard a sound. [Warning: You have exceeded the number of items you can use in a single day.] “Huh?” Zach was confused. “Forgot to mention… you can only use a maximum of five items per day,” the system said. “What?!” Zach was shocked. “Why didn’t you say that earlier?! And how am I supposed to use the Life Fruit after getting it?!” Zach was too annoyed to even finish. “Sorry… you’re out of luck,” the system said after a long silence. Zach felt a sharp pain in his heart. Zach felt like crying, but he spun the wheel again. It spun fast, then slowly came to a stop. [Congratulations, you have gotten an item: “Additional Item Storage” and “One Free Spin.”] Zach wasn’t sure if he heard it right, but he definitely heard “free spin.” “Now this is luck,” the system said. “You got an additional item storage. That allows you to use one more item beyond the normal five. And the free spin, as you guessed, gives you another spin right now.” Zach was overjoyed and quickly spun the wheel again. The wheel spun and landed on something. Zach held his breath. [Congratulations, you got an item: “Healing Pill.”] Zach’s mind went blank. He hadn’t heard Life Fruit. “Don’t make that face, kid,” the system said. “That’s a Healing Pill. Do you know how rare that is? That pill can heal your mother’s injury. If you’re lucky, it might completely fix whatever is draining her life force.” Zach’s eyes lit up. Lucky? he thought, then looked at the timer for the Lucky Tablet—it was still counting down. 5:46. He still had over five minutes of enhanced luck. Of course he was lucky. He might not have gotten the Life Fruit, but the Healing Pill was still a major win. “How do I give it to her?” Zach asked. “Just feed her the pill. Simple.” Zach immediately held the pill in his hand. It was small and had a glowing green color. He gently held his mother’s head, opened her mouth, and placed the pill inside. His mother's face was deadly pale, but gradually, the strained look began to fade. It didn’t take long before her eyelids twitched and slowly fluttered open. “Mom,” Zach said, his voice filled with joy. “Zach?” his mother whispered. Zach hadn’t truly expected the pill to work. Part of him still felt like his mind was playing tricks on him. But now, all doubts vanished—this was real. He had received something powerful, something that might change everything. He quickly hugged his mother tightly. “The Superstar System, huh?” Zach smiled to himself. How strange... and I’ve always dreamed of being a superstar.

Unknown Number.
Shock. Silence. Then cheers. "Who is this guy?" Sophia was shocked. Her brother was an NBA superstar who dominated the league multiple times before quitting to become a coach. But even in all her years, she had never seen him do what this boy just did. Daniel was shocked too. He felt like Zach had been possessed these past few days. It was like he had entered God mode. Was this the power of a breakup? Maybe he should find a girl and let her break his heart too. Eric was silent as he looked at Zach. "Congrats. You earned your place in the team," he finally said. "Thank you, coach. I won't let you down," Zach replied, happy. Just then, the system started to beep. +5 fame points +5 fame points Zach expected this. What he did was too amazing, and he might even break into the top three of the school’s 4T list today. Zach felt good now. "We will continue practice tomorrow," Eric said. "Let's go," he told Sophia. Before leaving, she looked at Zach for a long time. No one had
100 Perfect Throws.
Zach had a pale expression. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to come for practice, it was just that many things had troubled him during that period, and he didn’t even have money for food, so how would he have the strength to play basketball? The crowd of players split into two groups. What a huge number, Zach was amazed. Many were just like him, showing up only when there was something to gain. “Now kindly leave the hall for us,” Eric said with a cold voice. Zach couldn’t just leave. He needed the money, and he was also a very skilled basketball player. How could he walk away just like that? Zach knew Eric well enough to know the only way he could get on the team now was to impress him more than he could ever imagine. But Zach was unwilling to use his lucky tablets just to get on the team that he was on already. What would he use on the final day, when his skills were needed the most? “Coach, I didn’t slack off, I was just too busy to come,” Zach spoke up. Eric turned his attent
One Of The Top Three
The next day after the race, Zach looked at his game points, it was 25, an increase by 5. But, there was something else he had been doing this past few days. Online bantering. Tim kept calling him out in the school forum to come race him again if he had the guts, but Zach refused and Tim began to call him names. Zach lost it when his mother was mentioned again. So he calmly brought out the demon writer in him. "Dear Tim, are you a coward or were you trained by animals or maybe your dad is one? Because I see no reason why a loser can't accept he lost, keep rapping like a dog, I'm done with you." Zach typed. The school forum exploded with Zach dropping that message and a line stood out. "Were you trained by an animal? Or maybe your dad is one?" His Account which had the name "IamZach" Immediately started gaining followers. The comment section had comments like: "Hey you above me were you trained by a Monkey or maybe your father is one?" Tim went silent after that. Making
The Incredible Yellow Sports Car.
Zach stepped out of the sports car and the entire area fell silent. Everyone stared at him in disbelief. Tim had built a reputation over the past week as a tycoon in street racing and because of his skills students got to know that he even once held a draw against a world-class racer. For Zach to beat him, and with such a wide gap, was unbelievable. “Let’s race again!” Tim shouted as soon as his car finally rolled across the finish line. He felt completely humiliated. Zach smirked. He’d be a fool to race again, after all, his victory had only been possible thanks to the items from his Superstar System. “Pay up,” Zach said, stretching out his hand. “Then maybe I’ll consider it.” Tim immediately asked for Zach’s account details and transferred the money without hesitation. Zach’s phone beeped. He checked the screen and, seeing the credited amount, a huge grin spread across his face. “Let’s have a rematch!” Tim demanded. “I’ll consider it,” Zach replied coolly as he walked away.
The Race.
"Sir, I don't understand. Why was my scholarship cancelled?" Zach asked a middle-aged man. It was the next day, and Zach, who had barely slept the night before because of the cancelled scholarship, had come to get an answer. Howard, who was sitting in his office, was speechless. He didn’t expect that the timid boy from before would have the guts to come straight to his office and ask questions. "It was cancelled. Pay your fees yourself, period!," Howard said harshly. Deep down, he was smirking. This kid clearly didn’t know who Vincent was. The man was vicious and he would do anything for his son. "Okay, so there's no reason, right?" Zach said, then suddenly smiled. But it wasn’t a smile of joy, it was a smile of anger. His anger was boiling. Tim really hit him where it hurt the most.It was easy to know who pulled the strings, it had to be Tim, because it was only Tim he clashed with and only he had the connection to do this. Zach left the office. It didn’t take long f
Schoolarshop?
Hours passed quickly. Inside a well-decorated office, a middle-aged man sat in an expensive suit, his brows furrowed in anger. He was watching a video, and the fury on his face grew more intense with each second. This man was Vincent Andrew, the owner of one of the top companies in the country: Andrew Oil Mines. It wasn’t hard to guess what his company specialized in. The Andrew family was well-known for producing the highest-quality oil and dominating the industry. Their sales were often off the charts. Right now, however, Vincent’s focus was on something else, the video of Zach punching his son, Tim. His face twitched. Yes, Tim was his son and his only child. He treasured him. Suddenly, his phone rang. He answered. “Father, you have to do something. That punch still hurts.” “I will,” Vincent replied coldly. “His name is Zach Williams, right? Second year?” “Yes, Dad.” “Good. He’ll regret ever laying a hand on you,” Vincent said before hanging up. Once the call ended, Tim s
