31%...

The number stopped.

For three seconds, nobody moved.

Then it changed.

32%.

Ethan stared at the glowing display.

“What happens at one hundred?”

The system answered before anyone else could.

[AUTHORITY TRANSFER: 32%]

[PRIMARY DECISION NODE: ETHAN VALE]

[HUMAN CONSENT: INSUFFICIENT]

Ethan's expression hardened.

“Then stop.”

The percentage did not stop.

33%.

Noah rushed toward the main console.

  • THE CHOICE TO CONTINUE

    THE BILLIONAIRE SYSTEM: I CAN BUY EVERYTHINGChapter 150: The Choice to ContinueFor the first time in years, Ethan Vale woke up without a message waiting for him.No system notification.No countdown.No prediction.No voice telling him what to do.Nothing.He simply opened his eyes.Morning light entered through the window.For a few seconds, Ethan remained still.Then he smiled.It was strangely peaceful.He walked outside.The world had not ended.Cities were still standing.People were still arguing.Children were still going to school.Hospitals were still treating patients.Markets were still opening.Scientists were still working.Some governments were struggling.Some communities were thriving.Humanity was imperfect.But it was alive.No golden lights filled the sky.No external observer appeared.No machine announced whether humanity had passed or failed.There was only the world.And the choices people made inside it.Ethan found Noah standing near the old building where t

  • THE FUTURE ARRIVES

    THE BILLIONAIRE SYSTEM: I CAN BUY EVERYTHINGChapter 149: The Future ArrivesThe sound grew louder.It wasn't an explosion.It wasn't an alarm.It was a hum.A deep vibration that seemed to move through the walls, the ground, and the air itself.Ethan stared at the sealed door.“The future is coming to us.”Noah checked his scanner.“That's impossible.”Ethan almost smiled.“We've said that before.”The stone door began glowing.Lines of silver light spread across its surface.Then the chamber changed.The walls disappeared.For one terrifying second, Ethan could see the city outside.Then the city changed.Buildings rose higher.Transportation moved silently through the sky.Trees covered areas that had once been roads.People walked freely through open public spaces.There were no advertisements demanding attention.No giant corporate headquarters dominating the skyline.No single government building stood at the center.The city looked familiar.Yet completely different.Mia whispe

  • THE ORIGINAL DOOR

    THE BILLIONAIRE SYSTEM: I CAN BUY EVERYTHINGChapter 148: The Original DoorEthan read the message again.ETHAN, WE FOUND THE ORIGINAL DOOR.A second message followed.AND IT'S OPENING.Noah walked toward him.“What happened?”Ethan handed him the phone.Noah's expression changed immediately.“That's impossible.”“Why?”“Because the First Engine was the door.”Ethan looked at Subject Zero.The little boy had gone completely still.“You know something.”Subject Zero didn't answer.Ethan stepped closer.“Where is the original door?”The boy finally looked at him.“Where it has always been.”“Where?”“Under the first place humanity chose to build.”Daniel frowned.“That could mean anywhere.”Subject Zero shook his head.“No.”He pointed toward the old map.“The first city.”Noah brought up historical records.Thousands of ancient settlements appeared.Then one location began glowing.The coordinates were far older than any modern nation.Ethan stared.“What is that?”Daniel's face went p

  • THE WORLD WITHOUT A TEST

    THE BILLIONAIRE SYSTEM: I CAN BUY EVERYTHINGChapter 147: The World Without a TestMorning came quietly.For the first time in months, Ethan woke up without a system notification.No glowing screen.No mission.No warning.No mysterious voice telling him what to do.He simply opened his eyes.For a moment, he waited.Nothing happened.Ethan smiled.“So this is what normal feels like.”His phone rang.It was Noah.“Ethan, you need to see this.”“What happened?”“Everything.”Ethan sat up.“That's not specific.”“Exactly.”Twenty minutes later, Ethan arrived at the emergency coordination center.The building was packed.Scientists stood beside government representatives.Community leaders spoke with engineers.Doctors were coordinating with volunteers.Businesses were sharing supplies.Universities were opening research facilities.There was no central command.Yet somehow, everything was moving.Noah showed Ethan the latest data.“Look.”Ethan stared at the screens.Food distribution h

  • THE FIRST ARRIVAL

    THE BILLIONAIRE SYSTEM: I CAN BUY EVERYTHINGChapter 146: The First Arrival“You should have chosen me.”The voice came from the darkness.Ethan didn't move.Neither did Noah.Mia's hand reached for the emergency controls, but nothing happened.Every light in the building was dead.Then a single silver light appeared.A man stepped into it.Marcus Vane.Except he wasn't exactly the Marcus they remembered.His appearance was familiar, but his eyes were different.Silver.Completely silver.Noah whispered, “That's not possible.”Marcus smiled.“That's what humans always say when they encounter something they don't understand.”Ethan stepped forward.“You've been watching us.”“Longer than you know.”“You're the external observer.”Marcus shook his head.“No.”“Then what are you?”Marcus looked around the room.“I am the first arrival.”Subject Zero suddenly stepped forward.Marcus looked at him.For the first time, his smile disappeared.“You.”The little boy stared back.“You remember

  • TEN DAYS

    THE BILLIONAIRE SYSTEM: I CAN BUY EVERYTHINGChapter 145: Ten DaysThe countdown appeared everywhere.10 DAYS.It wasn't displayed by the old system.It wasn't controlled by the First Engine.It appeared on ordinary screens, phones, televisions, public signs, and even devices that weren't connected to the internet.No one knew how it had happened.But everyone knew what it meant.Humanity had been given ten days.Ethan stood in the emergency hall with Noah, Mia, Daniel, Subject Zero, and representatives from several countries.Everyone was talking at once.“We need a military response.”“No. We need communication.”“We should destroy the lights.”“They already left.”“We need Ethan.”The last statement silenced the room.Ethan looked around.“No.”A government representative frowned.“No?”“You don't need me.”“But you're the only person who has communicated with them.”“That's exactly why I shouldn't be the one deciding.”The room became quiet.Ethan walked to the center.“The observ
