Ethan's legs tremble as he blames himself for believing something unreal.
The storeowner stares at him, but then his phone dings.
He quickly checks it and sees a debit alert.
It's real! The storeowner's eyes pop wide open, disbelief evident on his face.
"I... I am sorry," he mumbles, but Ethan cuts him off.
"Give me three," he orders.
"Yes, sir," the storeowner replies, immediately packaging the items and handing them over.
"We would love to have you as our regular customer," the storeowner says, but Ethan ignores him and turns to the elderly woman.
"Take these," he hands her the three items. She initially hesitates, but then nods reluctantly.
"It's okay," he reassures her, placing the items in her hands.
"Thank you so much! My grandson will be delighted. I can't wait to give these to him."
"Yes, please be quick," Ethan urges.
"Thanks!" the woman expresses her gratitude again and bids him farewell.
He leaves the store feeling accomplished.
{mission accomplished, dashboard had been topped up with 2 million dollars}.
Bursting with excitement, Ethan lets out a triumphant scream.
*****
Ethan stands in front of the "Top Class Hotel," a place not meant for ordinary people.
Even when he was rich, he hadn't dared to come here. Now he understands the purpose of the system – he is a tool to bring justice, happiness, and incredible wealth.
He enters the magnificent hotel, his reflection staring back at him from the polished tile floor.
He approaches the receptionist, who eyes him disapprovingly.
"How may I help you?" she asks with a hint of disdain.
Ethan realizes he needs to change his clothes.
"I am here for a room. I'd like to stay overnight," he explains.
The receptionist bursts into laughter.
"This isn't for the likes of you. Leave before you embarrass yourself."
Ethan persists, "I can pay, and I want the VIP room."
"You must be mad. You don't belong here. Your clothes are the cheapest and filthiest things in this hotel," she scoffs.
Ethan had spent millions on those clothes, but he knows it isn't the time to prove his worth. moreover the cloth is far more than recognizable.
"Hold on, let's hear him out," another receptionist intervenes.
"He's just trying to humiliate himself, Sandra. Let's kick him out," the first receptionist insists.
Sandra ignores her and turns to Ethan, "The available VIP room is $200 thousands per night."
Ethan extends his ATM card to her. "I want that room."
The receptionist smirks, "Look at his ATM card, just as rough as its owner."
Sandra takes the card and proceeds to process the transaction.
"I bet I could have some people teach you a lesson before we kick you out," she taunts him. urging the bouncer to come closer
"Okay, it's done," Sandra announces, returning the ATM card to Ethan.
Angelina's eyes widen, and even the bouncer stares in awe, deceived by Ethan's appearance.
"I would like to see the manager," he inquires.
Angelina swiftly drops to her knees, her voice imploring, "Please, don't let them fire me. I'm truly sorry. I... I know I'm being foolish and stupid."
Her eyes well up with tears as she clutches onto his legs.
Ethan leans in closer, his expression determined, "Yes, that's it. This is exactly what I'm after. I want them to kneel before me, begging for forgiveness that I'll never grant. I'll make them suffer to their core," he declares, envisioning those who have betrayed him.

(Morning).
The system's ding wakes him from his sleep, and he groans at the realization that time has passed.
The sun shining outside indicates the passing hours.
{New mission: Spend $1 million in four hours.}
"What! That's an enormous amount," he exclaims.
{Failure to do so will lead to depletion of money.} With that ultimatum, he knows he has to spend.
He hurries out of the room, and the receptionist bids him farewell with a "Thanks for the patronage."
He abruptly turns back to receptionist Sandra. "Give me your bank details," he requests.
"You don't have to..." she begins, but he hands her his phone.
She reluctantly takes it and enters her information.
"Okay, take that," he says before leaving the hotel.
When Sandra checks, she can't hold back her scream. Fifteen thousand dollars! The second receptionist regrets her earlier actions.
Ethan stands before the hotel, realizing that even when his parents were alive, he had never spent money so recklessly.
The most expensive thing he had bought back then was a ring for his ex-girlfriend.
"What can I buy, what can I buy," he wonders aloud, and then a billboard advertisement for the latest car catches his attention.
$800 thousand dollars! "Gotcha!" he exclaims and hails a taxi to head to the car dealership.
Upon arrival, he attempts to enter, but two bodyguards block his way.
"What are you looking for?" one of them, the largest, asks.
"I'm here to buy a car," Ethan replies, his gaze fixed on them.
"Where's the camera, you prankster?" the other guard chimes in.
Annoyed, Ethan retorts, "I'm not here to prank. Let me in, time is ticking."
The bodyguards scoff at him and refuse his entry.
Frustrated, Ethan exclaims, "Why do people judge others based on appearances?".
A woman's voice from behind responds, "People will address you the way you dress."
He turns to find an elegant lady with two others beside her.
"I want to buy the newly released car," he insists.
"I've already reserved it exclusively for some individuals who are willing to pay."
"I will pay 1 million dollars," he declares confidently.
"Please, politely get away from here. Do you even have 1 dollar?" she taunts him, accompanied by laughter from the others.
"He will pay you," a voice chimes in from behind.
It's Sandra, the receptionist girl. The lady inquires, "why are you late and do you know him?".
"I know him, he will," Sandra assures.
The woman then provides him with the bank details, and they all watch in suspense. A notification alert sounds on the phone.
"What! 1.5 million!" the lady exclaims.
"Yeah, keep it."
{Ding! Mission accomplished.You have been topped up with 5 million in the dashboard.}
Ethan is the only one who can see this information, and his jaw drops in disbelief.
"Sir, we are sorry. Just tell us where you want it delivered. We offer a three-year warranty and one year of maintenance," the lady offers.
"Leave it here for now; I'll come and pick it up later," he replies.
Then he turns to Sandra. "Can I speak with you?" she looks at her boss for approval.
"You can even follow him home," her boss grants.
"Okay," they excuse themselves.
"What are you doing here?" he demands to know.
"I am here to work," she replies.
"What work? You're a receptionist."
Sandra explains, "I work the night shift there." It's a pattern he has never encountered before.
"Give me your contact; I'll call you later," he says, and she hands it over.
"If you don't mind, can I ask what you used the money for?" he inquires.
She hesitates, then replies, "I'm sorry, I've used it to pay off some of our debts."
He nods and exclaims, "Oh."
In that moment, he learns another valuable lesson about life.
Our own struggles might seem harsh, making us feel like the worst beings, but when we witness someone else's challenges, we realize our condition could be another person's desires.
Let's delve into this story and learn from its life lessons.

The end.
The room seemed to shrink as tension filled every corner. Sean's eyes bore into Ethan's, each step e. Before either could make a move, Ariana stepped forward, her voice cutting through the heavy air."Enough, both of you!" she exclaimed, standing between the two men. "We've seen enough bloodshed. There has to be a way to end this without more violence."Ethan, his determination unwavering, nodded in agreement. "She's right, Sean. We need to find a resolution, not perpetuate this cycle of revenge."Sean's gaze shifted between Ariana and Ethan, a battle of emotions playing out on his face. After a moment of contemplation, he slowly lowered his weapon. "Fine, let's talk," he conceded, though his tone carried a note of reluctance.Ariana left the room leaving the both of them to talk, as she walked out, she saw tony smiling and weaving at her.she hissed and went on her way, she rushed towards her."why ignoring me", he asked."it seemed you are enjoying this situation, smiling and dancing
revenge continues
"Don't do it," Ethan glares at the gang leader, as if he could swallow him up. The leader laughs, "What can you do? You will just watch your family die in front of you before I kill you." Ethan glares back, blood in his eyes, "Don't do it, please," he pleads.The leader smirks, his hand hovering over the trigger, "Say bye to them," he says. "Nooo!" Ethan shouts, then a strange sensation surges inside him, and his eyeballs turn white before returning to normal.The leader hesitates, wondering what's wrong with him. Suddenly, a message appears: {System Reactivated… Host Found… 25%, 35%, 45%, 100%}. Ethan thinks he's dreaming, unable to believe his eyes and the sounds he's hearing. The system is back.{You summoned the system, would you like to sign in? Note that if you sign in now, it will be for eternity}. Ethan exhales loudly, finding it hard to understand how he summoned the system a second time. "Yes, I will sign."{Signing: 35%, 45%, 55%, 75%, 100%, completed. All skills, stage,
The return
Ethan approaches Mr. Desmond, who gazes at him, trembling and shaking."I told you, this will be your only chance," he says."So, what are you going to do with me?" Mr. Desmond stammers."What do you think? I will kill you, of course," Ethan smirks, bringing out his gun."You know that will be stupid. Think about your freezer asset; I can let them free it," he said."Really, but I don't need it," Ethan replies.Mr. Desmond laughs, "You know you can't kill me. Think of your kid. How could you be a father for him in prison?""You think this is funny? I just figured out my mistake. I keep sparing you people, nevertheless, you keep coming back as a problem.""This will be my last problem of yours," Mr. Desmond smirks, but it's clear he isn't telling the truth."Are you enjoying this?" Ethan asks."Maybe yes, Ethan... You brought this upon yourself. And you know what, there is still the organization. Nick is forming it back, so there is no way you can end that," he said."I will kill you,
The blood bath
"I told you I know nothing about it; I am here to save her," Ethan tells the detective in the hospital. The detective presses on, "Why didn't you call the police when the abductor called you?""They warned me not to call, unless they will kill her," he said. "You should have at least told the police, and we would have looked for what to do," the detective said. Ethan exhales loudly, "The victim has told you herself that I am innocent."The detective then slams the table, "What is your business with the abductor, and why did he want you so badly that he would even kidnap someone to threaten you?". "I am not answering any more questions," Ethan says. He knows Mr. Desmond was at work.Just then, an officer enters the room and whispers something to the officer. The detective gazes at Ethan, then says, "You can go." Ethan smirks, wondering why they let him go so easily. He leaves the officer, only to find Mr. Desmond waiting for him outside. He ignores him and keeps walking."You sho

Mr. Desmond calls Ethan back, saying, "You have to meet him.""She is with your daughter, and you don’t even care, asking me to meet him?" Ethan questions."He wants you and won’t release her no matter what I do. If you don’t meet with him, he will kill her. If you don’t want to see her dead, meet him," Mr. Desmond says, ending the call.Ethan scoffs, wondering how a parent could do such a thing."So, what do we do now?" Sandra asks."I have to meet him in the location," Ethan responds.Sandra interrupts, "That will be very dangerous. You know he will kill you.""Yes, but if I don’t go, he will kill Ariana," Ethan says."So, we have to plan. We have to involve the police," Sandra suggests."Yes… call Derek and others," Ethan instructs.After Tony calls Ethan, he still feels uneasy and believes involving the police is necessary. He heads to the police station and reports the situation. The police put themselves to work, and instead of Tony going home, he lurks around, waiting for updat
Ariana abduction
Earthlord looked dumbfounded, “What do you think you are doing?”“Mind what you say, you are online,” Ethan smiles wickedly. Just then, one of the guards moves closer to Earthlord and whispers to him.“I will kill you,” he says as he walks away, leaving Ethan in the room. After a few minutes, the police arrive, but Earthlord and the others have escaped. The police take Ethan in for questioning, and he tells them everything.After Ethan leaves the police station, he heads to the hideout where the others are gathered.“You did good work,” Derek says.Ethan exhales, “But he escaped. He would do anything to come back for me.”“We have to be very careful; you should always walk in pairs,” Mr. Davis says.Sandra says, “Now that he has confessed, they should free you now and unfreeze all your access.”Ethan nods, “But we can’t be sure. Earthlord might have more influence than we think.”“What about Mr. Desmond and Nick? We should do something about them, maybe kill them,” Feifei suggests.Et
