The King Of Steeze System

Dinner Of A Lifetime

I stood staring at the road, feeling the cool evening breeze brush against my skin , a stack contract to the odd heat I had felt moment before inside the pizzeria.

Caleb was leaning against the wall ,his expression halfway between disbelief and awe ,as he took in my new look.

."Whoa , man, what happens to you? You look....expensive."Caleb's eyes raked over my tailored suit and I couldn't help but smirk. "And did I hear right? You bought the pizzeria."

I chuckled, softly shrugging.

"Yeah ,just a little something I picked up along the way." The words felt odd coming out of my mouth, but they also felt...right.

Like I was starting to step into this new life.

"You...bought it?"His voice had a disbelieving edge to it."that place has been around for years, we both worked there days back ,man." 

Caleb shook his head ."I called you to help me and you did and also bought the pizzeria, whoa."

"Why not? Everyone needs pizza." I gave him a wink knowing full well how absurd it sounded.

Caleb shook his head , unable to process what has just happened.

Before he could ask some more, the notification pinged in front of me.

~Level 2 Unlocked.~

I blinked at the message on my phone , but before I could even comprehend it , another appeared

~Aura Number 3 unlocked.~

~Assign a name .~

I was still thinking when another followed.

~You Are The Host: King Of Steeze.

Get a username ~

A strange surge of energy ripped through me as I gave it a thought. 

Name carry weight, power. 

Something fitting , something that resonated with this moment.

~Aether Surge. ~

The moment I decided ,the aura settled within me , like it was always meant to be there , ready to burst fought when needed

But it wasn't over. The next notification made my stomach c

rumbled.

~Mission: Treat Yourself To Dinner.~

Of course .

 It seemed even the game, understood the importance of celebrating small victories

I turned to Caleb, grinning." You hungry?"

Caleb blinked at me ,still struggling to grasp the days events. "Dude, what's going on. Seriously. You win a lottery or something?

I pulled out my phone and transferred him a hefty sum without a second thought. His phone buzzed, but when he checked it , his jaw practically hit the floor

"Thomas... what the —"

"Go treat yourself Caleb ,my ride is about to arrive." I tapped the screen and just as I have expected a sleek white car rolled up in front of us.

“You are... serious ." Caleb's voice trembled slightly , as he looked from the car to me his world clearly spinning.

The vehicle I ordered for , would take 24 hours to arrive , so for now let me use this.

“Very. I will catch you later ." I shot him a grin , stepped into the car and the door closed behind me with a soft click. 

The driver turned to greet me and without hesitation , I tapped on my phone again. The map floated before my eyes, highlighting a place I have never heard of in the city of New York. Vermilion Velvet. Fancy

"Take me to Vermilion Velvet ," I told the driver , feeling the strange thrill of a night about to unfold.This was new territory—luxury, power ,decisions , I never thought I had have to make

The ride was smooth , the city's light blur into a river of gold as we sped through the streets. I barely noticed this transition, from regular avenue to the glitzier parts of the town until we pulled up in front of a massive, magnificent building.

The restaurant was imposing, it's tall, glass doors reflecting the world of the rich.

As I stepped out , heads turned 

Eyes,trailed me, as if I was someone important ,and may before the first time I felt like I was. My feet hit the marble floors with a certain weight and whispers echoed around me.

Who was this guy? I wasn't used to be attention, but I soak it in anyway.

"Table for one?"the waitress asked ,her smile perfect and professional.

I nodded and she guided me through the exquisite restaurant , each step echoing through the grand space ,as people's gazes followed my every move. By the time I sat down, I knew I had already stolen the show.

The menu was extensive , but I didn't need to glance at it for long. A mischievous smile crept up my face and I waved the waitress over.

"I will take the best one you have. No make that five bottles."I began watching her eyebrows lift with surprise.

 "Then bring me the Beluga caviar,the Kobe beef,foie gras and every seafood you have got. Oh , and a few bottles of Château Margaux. Keep it coming."

The waitress stared at me,her pen frozen in mid air as I continued listing off dish after dish. Eventually she stopped writing threw me a bewildered glance and ran off to the kitchen. 

I chuckled , leaning back in my chair. If this game wanted me to treat myself, I was going all out

Minutes later , waiters began bringing out plates —piles of them. The scent of truffle,saffron and rich spices , filled the air, drawing the attention of the entire restaurant. People whispered ,staring as one dish after another landed on my table

I dug in , savoring the flavors, every bite, a reminder of just how far I had come. The kitchen staff, even peeked out from behind the swinging doors , curious to see the man who had ordered her their menu

By the time I had polished off enough food to feed a small army, the restaurant owner approached me , a slick grin on her face

"Sir , it is an honor to have you dine with us."she said , her voice smooth. If there's anything else we can do for , anything at all don't ,hesitate to ask. A man of your caliber deserves only the best."

I wiped my mouth with the napkins , returning her grin." You have done more than enough. But I would like to take some of this home." I gestured to the few untouched plates , watching as her eyes sparkled at the thoughts of me being a regular

As I reached for a wine flute , a new notification popped up.

~Bonus Achieved! Mission: Lavish Dinner Complete.Level 3 Unlocked.~

  

A soft glow surronded me as I felt the surge of power coursing through my veins.

 Something was different this time, a new kind of energy , sharp and focused. A ripple spread through the restaurants , unnoticed by everyone but me

"Enjoy the rest of your evening, sir." the owner said , bowi

ng slightly, " I will be back."

I smirked, glancing around at the crowd still starring in awe.

"Oh,I will."
