The Richest Man Alive

Dream Come True

Damien rode in, looked for a more comfortable place and parked. Lucia dropped from the car, holding her expensive Louis Vuitton bag.

“Thanks for the ride,” Lucia smiled.

And just as she was about to walk away, Damien horridly spoke. “Umm please, wondering if you could rate me and give a good review over the wikwik app about your ride with me, it would be really appreciating.”

“Yeah I will try, I just hope I don’t forget,” she mused.

Damien smiled. “Thank you. I would love that.” Then he rode away.

Lucia got into the mansion, and her mother, Fiona, walked down the stairs, staring and giving her a knowingly smile. Lucia raised a brow, stunned, as to why her mother was smiling tauntingly at her.

“Who is that good-looking handsome man that drops you off, his car is such an expensive car, Lucia?”

Lucia sighed. She knew what was already coming, and she wasn’t ready for the sweet talks from her mother.

“Mum, not now. I’m so stressed to the bone. I need to get some rest.”

Just then, Lucas, her father, came from the other side of the room, holding wine in a glass cup.

“Ooh, Lucia, you’re back already. How is work today?”

Lucia smiled. “work is good, but I’m very stressed.”

“Hunny, I think Lucia has finally gotten a fiancée,” Fiona cut in desperately, then walked to Lucas and held his hands.

“Wow, really? Where is he? Where is that lucky guy?” Lucas desperately asked, his gaze darting around.

“Oh, hunny, he’s gone. He came to drop her off, I guess he wants to make it official when next he comes to see us,” Fiona coaxed gently.

“He should have come to say hi to her parents. Hope he’s not a rude guy, hope he’s calm, and hope he’s handsome like me,” Lucas said, then rubbed his chin as he bit his lips.

“Hehe, hunny, you are so funny. Of course he’s handsome, but among all, you know you are the most handsome man I have ever seen,” Fiona replied, making Lucas chuckle nervously.

“Stop that, Fiona. You are getting me nervous,” Lucas shrugged his shoulders.

“So Lucia, what’s this lucky guy’s name?” Lucas asked.

Lucia herself didn’t know his name, and the question from her parents was already getting on her nerves. She barely knows Damien, and her parents have already concluded that he’s her fiance.

“Ooh, God, not again. They can’t see me with any man without concluding they are my boyfriend. What the hell?” Lucia muttered inwardly, narrowing her eyes.

“Mum, Dad, I am going to take some rest. I don’t know what you all are talking about.”

“Lucia, no matter what, you can’t hide him forever from us,” Fiona’s voice echoed from downstairs.

Lucia got into her room, sat on her bed, then took out her phone and went to the WikWik app to rate and drop a review on the driver who had driven her home.

“He’s so good-looking, and worst of all, I didn’t even ask him his name. Dammit,” Lucia sighed hard, though she gave Damien five stars on his driving style and good behavior toward his customer.

Lucas drove his Lamborghini, completely stunned, not just by the car but by the woman he had driven home. Her beauty was breathtaking.

And just then, Damien received a message on his phone. When he picked it up, he saw it was from the WikWik app. He clicked on the message.

“Order has been rendered successfully. Customer rating to driver: five stars.”

Damien stared at the text on his phone, then nodded calmly.

“What next now?” he muttered.

And just then, his system’s translucent screen appeared mid-air with the mechanical voice and text written on the screen.

[Host has successfully completed first task. Host has received good rating from first task. Host is rewarded with five hundred points.]

Damien stared at the translucent screen. “Five hundred points,” he muttered inwardly.

[Points converting…]

[ Points have successfully been converted into currency. Host’s current currency balance: 5 million dollars. In every completed task, host will be rewarded with five hundred points.]

“What... 5 million what?” Damien shook his head with disbelief. It was getting unreal to him, but if this same system could offer him a car that cost even more than the money it had just granted him, then that shouldn’t be a joke to him.

[Reward earned from task that was converted to currency will be deposited into host’s bank account.]

And just as Damien was still in this confused state, his phone buzzed, and when the screen turned on, he saw a credit alert of 5 million into his account.

“What?”

Damien almost coughed out blood. He pressed on the brake, and the Lamborghini jerked and stopped.

“Is this actually real? What in the...” Damien wanted to speak, but he bit his tongue.

“Ouch...”

He glanced at the alert, and it was as if all his dreams were about to turn into reality right in front of his eyes. He had never seen 5 million in his entire life. Seeing it now got him startled.

“I just completed a single task from my system, and I’m being rewarded with five million. What if I complete, like, five or twenty or even thirty in a day? Does that mean I would be awarded each time with five million?”

The thought rumbled inside Damien’s mind as it was hard for him to believe. If he could complete every task successfully from his system, then his dreams of becoming very wealthy would actually come to pass.

Damien smiled in excitement, almost jumping off the car. The first thing that came to his mind was, going to his landlady and settling off his debt of owing house rent for one year straight.

Damien started his car and rode toward the apartment he was living in. On reaching there, he stopped, looked for a more comfortable place and parked the Lamborghini, then dropped down from the car.
