2026-03-16 01:06:05“This has really been so amazing, fortunately, I am obliged to announce the presence of one of Longrich’s latest investors, a man of integrity. Despite being behind schedule, he came with special bounties, Infact, all the meals for this very occasion were sponsored by him.” The loud voice of the commentator filled the air.
The murmurs in the room intensified. Feeding over a hundred wealthy people isn’t possible for an average person. “Please join me as I welcome to the party…….” It’s him, the recipe thief! The plagiarist! Isn’t that Mr Calvary’s recipe plagiarist? What effrontery he possesses to show up here! The spiteful words weren’t whispered, they were said aloud, Killan didn’t know his face was that negatively popular already, thanks to Henry’s cunning move when he tried to reclaim his recipe, as a result of it, he got blacklisted as a chef—now, his presence in rooms were met with raw hatred. “Join me as I welcome Mr Killian Quinn to the table.” The commentator concluded, ignoring the hatred thrown to the bag of money walking alongside the CEO of Longrich Hotel. Despite the fact that the man didn’t look like it, the paper says he had just donated a sum of ten million dollars to the hotel fund. And to make matters worse, he just became their biggest shareholder as of early that morning. Heat radiated through Martha’s body that she had to hold Henry tighter for support, Killan had walked past her, his usual lavender cologne filled her nostrils but he didn’t bother to spare her a single glance till he got to his seat right beside the CEO. After the short distraction, the party continued but it wasn’t the same excitement anymore, many people had massive curiosity to fill up including Henry’s father but Longrich CEO offered none. Discreet pictures of Killian were taken by social media enthusiasts in the room and within the hour, Killan’s name became the most trending search topic, in a negative light of control. In the midst of the controversy, Killan was absolutely bothered, he kept checking his wrist watch every single second. He didn’t care about the internet shenanigans, not that he knew yet. Instead, he had less than forty eight minutes to spend three million dollars, the penalty was clear enough, another painful death. “Mr Quinn, I do appreciate you gracing this occasion, it is a great pleasure to host a man of high……” The CEO whispered to him but Killian interrupted him. “Please don’t flatter me, everyone else in the room obviously hates my gut.” The man looked around, he could read the tension in the room especially coming from the Calvery family, he smiled uneasily and Killan gave him a knowing look. Killan had gotten accustomed to the buzzing sound now that he habitually faces the sky when he hears it, the system surfaced with words boldly written in red ink. [43 minutes left:$3,000,0000] [Clothes & Accessories Shopping] [Specific Brand Choices: Giorgio Armani, Tom Ford,Louis Vuitton, Dior, Prada, John Lobb, Richard Mille] Killian let out a frustrated sigh, he had never been big on shopping all his entire life, not even when he could afford a few of it in the past, he didn’t feel like suddenly becoming a fashionista overnight, but the fucking ancient system— it seemed really pushy just like his late Aunt Jane. Killan turned towards the CEO and gave him a broad smile “I need to leave now, this party was great, thank you for honoring me but I really need to run.” The man tried every ridiculous persuasion technique but it didn’t work, not when the system kept tormenting Killian with the idea of dying again in the most terrifying way. He got up briskly, shook hands with the man, without sparing his rival a glance, he dashed out of the party, Little did he know that his little show up had stolen the limelight from the honorable man of the moment, Henry Calvary. As he got out of the door, the two bodyguards that refused him entry earlier before rushed forward in his direction, they bowed slightly and one of them spoke, “Our apologies for treating you poorly earlier on, we weren’t……” “Save the apology.” He said, patted their shoulders and walked past them. The men felt ashamed, if the CEO had acknowledged him with such much welcomed respect, he must be really wealthy, even the internet was buzzing with his news. Curiosity filled everyone’s heart. If the newly blacklisted chef turned out as the highest investor in Longrich Hotel, then there is more to the man Killan Quinn! Killan pretended to be unaware of the stares that followed him down the hotel hallway. When he finally got to the reception, the rude attendant from earlier started smiling towards him excessively but he ignored her, he walked out of the building and finally he got to breathe fresh air right before the last hurdle; getting himself to the first of the seven stores the system had obliged him to patronize within forty minutes. Giorgio Armani was the first on the list, he was obliged to buy shirts, not low grade ones like the one he had on. He booked a ride hastily, feeling a pang of anger over the system’s lack of insight. If he was going to be shopping with so much money, why couldn’t he buy a car first before clothes? The system buzzing sound came on, Killan’s brow shot up as he read the shocking messages. [Are you trying to die? A rundown analysis of your next presumed death might change your mind.] “Wait! Hold up, fuck! You can read my thoughts too?” [Not always Killian Quinn, there are few glimpse moments] This didn’t sound good, Killan thought desperately, if the old guy could read his mind occasionally, then he wasn’t safe from his thoughts. All he needed to do was to figure out the best way to prevent it. [Your ride had arrived Killan Quinn] Killan took one last look at Longrich Hotel, the slight moment of shock he had witnessed on Henry and Martha’s face consoled him, despite hating the overbearing nature of the ancient system, it had helped him achieve his first victory, And right now, he had suddenly become thirsty for more show off—a stepping stone of his long pages of revenge tactics against his oppressors. “Alright, let’s go splash some cash!”

Chapter 8: Who Won The World?
“…..the cookbook sold for $200,000 dollars.”Gasps filled the room.Millions of questions filled the air, who would be crazy enough to buy a mere recipe diary that pricey. Henry turned right in time to see Killan’s bidding tab. He closed his eyes to get his mind together, it was totally unbelievable that Killan had ousted him in the bid let alone afford that much for it.He swallowed his disgust and humiliation as the auction proceeded, the next was a painting, a really expressive piece, the commentator’s voice lowered as he spoke, a loud opera filled the background, multiple red lights shone on the stage giving it a dire vibe.“The emperor painted this out in sorrow, history had it that he made this piece on the last day he ever made a dish, his lover was killed to stop him from cooking, an abominable hobby for a charismatic leader, there he was, a tired chef, ingredients falling off his plate and the cooking fire burning out of control….”Killan felt a teardrop from his left eye, he
Chapter 7: The Auction.
Killan Quinn was right, a glitch had happened! He was setting up his phone to connect with the rest of the world when a knock sounded at his door. He was quite reluctant as the last time he had a visitation, it was his damn divorce papers. He finally decided to check it out now, just as presumed, it was a delivery guy.The lanky guy handed a thin envelope to him and Killan signed where necessary. He checked the envelope immediately, there was a solid printed invite and a small note with handwritten letters,“A special gift from me to you loser, a regular ticket to Storybroke auction, from H.C”Killan laughed hysterically, it felt good to know that his presence at Longrich hotel had rocked Henry Calvary’s ego up. He wondered desperately how he got his apartment location but Killan didn’t dwell too long on that, he read through the invite. It was a top tier auction at one of the ancient Emperor's buildings which ended up as a high class museum.Killan was never an art enthusiast, he kn

[The countdown; 20, 19, 18……6,5,4,3,2! Pause mission accomplished][Congratulations Killan Quinn]Killan held his chest as his heart thumped loudly, if his credit card hadn’t swiped its last few dollars, he would have ended up in the pool of his own blood, again!“That was freaking close!”“Are you okay sir?” The attendant at the Richard Milli store questioned worriedly as she handed back to him his credit card. Her emerald green eyeballs shifted wearily.“No thank you, you can pack my purchases, the cab awaits.”The woman’s brow creased slightly before she sank her face back to its neutral form, it was the strangest occurrence that a man spent over six million dollars on the spot came in a fucking cab. To Killan’s relief, she kept her opinion to herself and called on the messengers to walk the generous customer to his car.Killan felt powerful! A relief to the agitation he had felt a few minutes earlier when he had almost exceeded the stipulated timeframe. Two hefty men followed him
Chapter 5: Underdog Rises.
Damn!Killan cursed inwardly as he almost lost his balance trying to avoid the incoming car. He had just arrived at the car park in the Armani mall, got down from the cab and headed towards the front entrance when a luxurious Rolls Royce zoomed past him. Two more inches of the car towards him, I would have been badly injured or worse, killed. He rebuked that desperately.He gathered himself and made towards the front door of the luxurious seventeen storey building, a massive space befitting such a prestigious brand as Giorgio Armani. The security guard at the door stared blankly at him with a weird expression on his face. Killan, noting the pattern, wasn't surprised but he still approached him politely.“Hello.” He said calmly.“Are you here to…..seek employment?” The younger man said bluntly.Killan smiled, despite having gotten used to that treatment these past few days, he still didn’t like it.“I am here to shop for tailored suits.” He responded calmly.After a few seconds hesita

Chapter 3:Rebirth.
Killan jolted up panting hard, the dream had felt all too real. He looked down at his left wrist, it wasn’t bleeding out, he wasn’t sitting in the pool of his own blood. He let out a breath of relief, that end in the dream was too scary, Only that something of it resonates, he was lying on an old mattress in a small room, the tiny apartment he rented after Martha sold their house.A loud buzzing noise filled Killian’s ears and he looked up only to see a small screen appear before his eyes. A green ink showed up on the screen and he strained his eyes to see the wording. The system suddenly enlarged and the ink became bolder.[Welcome Back Killan Quinn]Killan’s heartbeat skipped twice, he thought desperately on what it could be, before he could even get to question it, the answer appeared.[I am an ancient gourmet wealth system][You made a pact with me][You have to fulfill my obligations]Killan was dumbfounded! He never remembered making a pact with any human nor a machine. He loo
