The King Of Steeze System

The Game That Changes Everything

"Nice doing, business with you." Jonathan said and we both shook hands.

Then a call came in, I was scrolling through my phone as I left Conrad Technologies.

But as soon as I had Caleb's voice on the other end shaky and panicked, I knew something was wrong. 

Caleb and I had been best friends since our elementary days and we both in the same pizza parlor and we walked Pizza Parlor.

"Thomas..... bro , I'm in big trouble."

"What happened ?"I asked already reaching for the double doors

"It's Elvis ....he's accusing me of stealing money from the register."

Again.

That crap of a guy.

He is now taking revenge on Caleb because of what happened days ago when he tried cajoling me to deliver free boxes of pizza to his girlfriend and pin the blames and bills on me , but I refused.

A thin smile spread on my lips.

"He's threatening to call the cops on me." Caleb rattled out.

I frowned. Caleb wasn't perfect, but a thief? No. I have known him too long for that. Elvis was always looking for someone to pay his failures on. Caleb was just the easy target. 

"Stay there, I am coming"

I didn't waste time the pizzeria wasn't far, and I got there quicker than I thought possible. 

Walking in , I felt the tension in the air—like everyone knew something was about to go down. 

Elvis ,stood behind the counter, arms crossed, looking smug has ever. His father the real owner of the place , sat behind one of the corner booths, watching the scene unfold with an almost bored expression.

Caleb stood there ,eyes wide, hands trembling ,as Elvis yelled at him.

"You think you can just steal from me? From my father's business? You are fired ,man. And don't think about living until you pay what you owe."

I didn't even have to announce myself. The moment Elvis's eyes landed on me , his face twisted into something resembling a smirk, but it was his father's reaction, that made the hairs on my neck stand. The old man actually chuckled when he saw me.

"Ah, Thomas ,I see you have finally arrived. This should be interesting ."

Then he tilted his head.

"What's with the suit?" 

I had no time to joke around, I was here for business.

I stepped up , putting myself between Caleb and Elvis.

"How much?" I asked, not in the mood for small talks 

Elvis scoffed." What? You think you can just waltz in here and pay for his mistake."

I kept my voice steady ."How much?"

He pulled out his phone and read the number off the screen. 

It wasn't a small amount. Definitely more than Caleb could afford. But before I could respond something odd happened. My phone buzzed in my pocket

I put it out and stated at the screen

~Level 1: Aura 3 Unlocked ~

~Objective: Resolve conflict by any means necessary.~

~Reward:$400,000~

~Additional Reward: Ownership of this property.~

~Bonus: Unlock a car of your choice.~

I blinked staring at the message that has just appeared on my phone. 

This was another part of the game and I held myself to avoid screaming for joy.

I smiled confidently, and tapped the screen and setting whatever task it was offering.

Instantly a notification popped up—$100,000 has just been deposited into my account.My hear leaped for joy as I watched the numbers flashed on my screen.

Elvis didn't know any of this, of course. He was still watching me, arms crossed ,waiting for an answer.

"Done,"I said ,looking him straight in the eye "Check your account."

For a moment everyone just stared at me like I had lost my mind. 

Elvis's father however didn't look surprise at all. If anything ,the small smile that tugged at his lips grew wider.

Elvis pulled out his phone ,his eyes narrowing at first ,then widening in disbelief as he stared at the screen. 

"How...how the hell—"He stumbled over his words completely thrown.

I didn't bother explaining. Instead, I turned to glanced at Caleb, who still looked like ,he just couldn't believe what just happened. 

"Let's get out of here."

But before we could move , 

Elvis's father stood up, his voice cut through the silence

"Wait a moment, Thomas."

I turned to face him , unsure of what he wanted

"Tell me that I'm dreaming ,boy? You just bought the place." He chuckled again,that same low , knowing sound. "I'm glad you did ,at least more money to gamble." He laughed and hit Elvis on the shoulder,who wasn't pleased to hear about this.

My heart pumped, as I pulled out my phone again. Sure enough,a new notification was waiting for me.

~Congratulations! Property ownership transferred~

~New Title: Owner~

~Slice Halves Pizzeria.~

~Bonus Objective Completed:

Unlock a vehicle. Select your prize ~

I couldn't even process it. I looked up at Elvis father who was now watching me with amusement. 

"You are smarter than you look Thomas. Let's see what you can do with this place? Gambling time." He said almost jumping to his feet.

The room spun for a moment, everything blurring together. I now owned the pizzeria that once treated me like trash.

All eyes were on me,the workers now had a new owner and that was me!.

Caleb's voice bought me back to reality.

"Thomas... what the hell just happened?"

I laughed,shaking my head and thrusted my left hand into my pocket."I have no freaking idea."

But my phone buzzed again. This time ,it wasn't money or property. It was a selection screen—a list of cars, all lined up neatly waiting for me to pick one.

A scrolled through the options, my heart racing. Something sleek caught my eyes—a black sports car ,that look like it had come straight out from a dream. 

With a quick tab ,I confirmed the purchase , and within moments another notification popped up. 

~Car purchased successfully.

Delivery in 24 hours. ~

I pocketed the phone, still trying to wrap my head around everything. Caleb was staring at me, like I had just pulled off the heist of the century , but Elvis was fuming, his face red with anger. 

"This isn't over," he spat glaring at me."You think you can just walk into and take over? My father might be impressed ,but I'm not."

I shrugged, "Honestly ,I don't care."

I turned my back on him, Caleb following me out of the door. As soon as we stepped outside, my glanced back at the pizzeria—the business I now somehow owned.
