I woke up to the sound of soft jazz playing in the background,the luxurious hotel room filled with the sun rays pouring from the floor to ceiling windows.

For a moment,I forgot where I was,wrapped in silk sheets and a plush mattress softer than anything I'd ever felt. It was a far cry from the dingy little apartment my landlord had so proudly kicked me out of.

I stretched, glancing at the time on my phone. The system's familiar tone chimed in my head.

~ System Notification: Congratulations, You have officially entered Level 2 : Aura 4 of the King Of Steeze System ~

~New Mission Unlocked: Making Your Mark .

~Complete this task to increase your wealth and prestige~

~Rewards: $500,000 and a custom made suit from the world's top designer ~

A smirk tugged at my lips. Half a million? Just for showing up ?

The game was spoiling me . But the custom suit — that sounded even better.

My feet hit the warm marble floor ,and I walked to the window,taking in the city below. 

I could see people walking about, heading to work ,unaware of the world I was now part of — a world of money , power and endless opportunities.

~ New Task : Attend the Elite Business Gala in the hotel ballroom. Mingled with the influential.

Make an impression.

~Time limit : 4 hours~

I glanced at my phone , raising an eyebrow. The system was always up to something. But a gala sounded really cool , especially since the rewards seemed worth it. And maybe I'd finally meet people who could open even bigger doors for me.

"Let's go on with the game ." I muttered.

______

After showering and slipping into one of the suits which I had bought at the store, I made my way down to the ballroom. The hotel ,sleek and modern ,was buzzing with life. I stepped out of the elevator onto the marble floor and I was hit with the scent of wealth and prestige even before I entered the room.

The ballroom doors opened to reveal a crowd of people dressed in designer clothes ,sipping champagne and exchanging insider business tips with the ease of seasoned players in the game of life. I stood at the entrance for a moment, letting the scene sink in.

These people weren't just rich ,they were powerful.

For the first time since I got into the system, I felt nervous.

But I braced myself. I moved through the crowd , scanning the room . A soft voice interrupted my thoughts.

"Excuse me," a woman's voice purred. I turned to find a striking figure standing in front of me. Her skin was as smooth as porcelain and her blue eyes sparkled with intrigue.

She wore a gown that screamed money and sophistication 

"I don't believe we've met," she said , offering her hand.

I smiled." Thomas. And you are ?"

"Isabella English," she replied." I couldn't help but notice you when you walked in. This is your first time in this hotel ,I suppose?"

Her words were smooth ,but I could tell there was more to this interaction. The system chimed in , confirming my suspicious.

~ Target: Give an intelligent legal advice.

~Rewards: Get more cash in another currency.

~ Maintain Your Composure~

Ding .

I glanced at my phone and my eyes bulged in astonishment.

£700,000 was sitting prettily in my account.

"Wow." I muttered disbelief in my tone.

"Anything wrong?" Isabella asked and I laughed awkwardly.

"Not really."

She assessed me and her eyes knew I was new to this world of the rich.

“Maybe,” I said finally answering her question , keeping my tone light. “I’m still getting used to everything."

She gave a small smile. " Are you a lawyer or something." She asked and her eyes dropped.

I chuckled, and cleared my throat nervously."No ,I'm not and I do not know any either.'

Her eyes flicked and she nodded slowly." I lost my lawyer some months back." She pursed her lips." You remind me of him."

There was silence between us and the ballroom buzzed with hushed conversation and clicking glasses ,but all I could focus on was Isabella, she looked kind of worried.

I felt the familiar surge of power from the King Of Steeze system hum through me.

I could feel the next level coming soon, the energy building in my core.

She exhaled." I don't know why I'm telling you this , they said I misused charity funds." She muttered.

She explained to me. She was an actress , a philanthropist, a public figure who had spent years building her reputation and now everything hung by a thread.

"The media's running with it , I'm being painted as a fraud and it's only getting worse."

I took a breath, letting my aura settle in ." They are attacking you because they see an opportunity." A small confident smile spread through my lips."But if they can't back it up with evidence,it's all noise."

"What do I do now ? The damage is done." 

My mind was whirling and I felt the system whispering strategies to me and I was surprised at where the confidence came from.

"You've got your charity's financial records, don't you.Every dollar accounted for ?"

She nodded 

"That's where we turn it around. Release the records." I replied feeling the system align my thoughts into perfect order.

I could feel my aura expanding inching closer to the next level

The more confident I sounded, the more the system rewarded me with that electric charge.

Isabella blinked at me , stunned but I wasn't done yet.

"A countersue. Hit them with a defamation case. They need proof that you acted with intentional dishonesty. They have it . You can crush them."

Her mouth fell open for a second before she quickly regained composure. "Countersue?" She echoed, her voice stronger now, more sure. " But I'm not even sure who's behind this."

I smiled." That's the best part . They think you're vulnerable but once you show your cards, you'll flush out whoever is pulling the strings. Its not just coming out of this scandal. You will win this and come out stronger."

Her shoulders relaxed slightly,her breathing steadied. The system pulsed again and I felt the surge from the system, the aura easing through me.

"You really think I can fight this?" She asked , a spark of hope igniting in her eyes.

I smiled confidently." You're not just fighting Isabella —you're winning it. Let's show them who they're messing with."

"Oh my goodness." She gasped. "Ever since Lorenzo's death ,you are the only one who gave me such good legal advice."

I shrugged, smiling.

She snapped her fingers and her P.A came running.

"Take his details down."

Before I could stop her ,she continued. "I have appointed you as a Global Ambassador of Allure Enterprises and also, let's meet on Wednesday."

I raised an eyebrow.

She gave me her business card.

"I'm gifting you something special — a private island. Yours. Completely."

  • Crown Circle

    There was a silent monument of judgment as the Crown Circle Arbiter towered over the obsidian ballroom. He was more than just a man, he was an institution with a face that was neutral and timeless. The cold intricate light of the black-crystal chandeliers glinted on his diamond-studded staff which served as a conduit of power rather than provide support. His voice which didn't just reach your ears but also sank deep into your bones rolled through the air like velvet-wrapped thunder when he finally spoke. “Tonight the hierarchy resets,” He declared, his words reverberating throughout the room, each one striking with the finality of a gavel. “It has been established that status is not inherited. Now the first round brgins.”I had become used to but never completely at ease with the low-frequency hum that vibrated through the polished floor as if on cue. The System was waking up and encircling the event with its digital conscio

    The morning after the yacht and my phone was the epicenter of the earthquake, it was like waking up inside a headline. Not only did it buzz, but it also vibrated frantically against my nightstands polished marble. Before I picked it up, I gave it a moment to sing its frantic song. A tumbling blur of alerts, articles and tags from every social media platform imaginable covered the screen. 《 SYSTEM NOTIFICATION 》• National Trend Secured: #CrownKingThomas• Reputation Surge: +25,000• Media Bonus: You are now considered “Elite Status” in all major networks.I scrolled with a slight smirk on my lips.These same platforms had treated me like a ghost and a minor player who wasn't worth the digital ink last month.

Everyone on the yacht was drawn in by the delicate, pretty woman that had gradually and deftly captured their interest. There seemed to be a rift in the crowds energy and the air itself. The other half remained mesmerized by her effortless elegance and charm. The other half turned to watch me anticipating something extraordinary from the man they had read about. Her piercing perceptive eyes challenged me to move. Her lips formed a small sly smile. She believed she had me. She thought I had run out of tricks. So I followed her wishes. I started moving.

  • The Fox's Gambit.

    I didn't see or hear anything but the crowd was a sea of electric energy and the music had a thunderous beat. Everything in my world had been compressed into a single point by a concentrated force. The woman standing at the yacht's edge was dressed in black leather and chrome a perfect lethal reflection of my own Night Wolf style. Her fluid economy of motion and deliberate grace in every movement gave the impression that she was born with the aura she now commanded. Her power felt like a sharpened, accurate blade while mine felt like an unadulterated explosive force. And my worries were validated by the system which was my silent companion. 《 SYSTEM ALERT 》• Challenger Aura Detected• Title: [Influence Predator]• Core Skill: [Spotlight Theft] – Ability to absorb and redirect attention in social environments• Threat Level: HIGHMy jaw tightened.
