“You truly deserve to die. I didn't see it before, but now, I totally agree.” Alvin suddenly said and stood up as if to leave.

The startled girl stopped crying for a moment and looked up at him. Attention seekers were all like this, being dramatic because they needed someone to beg and hold them back. As long as Alvin continues to pamper her, she will continue going overboard. She suddenly sighed and smiled self-deprecatingly.

“Of course. Someone that got her entire family killed does not deserve to live.”

“You don't deserve to live, not because of the tragedy, but because you're too stupid. You knew your stupidity led to all this mess, yet you're about to do something even more unforgivable. What do you think your brother wants the most? It's to get revenge against those bastards. And what are you trying to do? You want to take the easy coward’s way out so that the enemies can continue living in peace, enjoying their lives, and scheming more atrocities. You want to die and allow them to enjoy the things they stole from your family. You're not worthy of your parents, you're a useless daughter, you're even worse than those bastards. At a time you should be thinking about how to strategize and rebuild the legacy that was lost because of you, bring the traitors to their knees, fish out the mastermind hiding in the dark, destroy everyone involved in this pain you are experiencing, and let your family be relieved in the netherworld, you're here being dramatic. Instead of earning your parents forgiveness by making amends, you want to die and disappoint them even more while the enemy lives on in happiness and comfort. You are a big idiot, go and die since you're so stupid and lack common sense.” Alvin shouted, kicking a can beside him.

The girl began to cry heavily while Alvin heaved and huffed in anger. After a while, he squatted before the girl.

“You're afraid of being alone in a cold, cruel world where you have lost everything. You don't have a dime to your name and don't even know where to start. Wherever you go, you're mocked and humiliated. The people you once helped, people who once looked up to you now spit on you without reserve because your crown is gone. You don't even know where the next meal will come from. For someone used to a soft life, all these are very terrifying and you don't know where to start from. And something probably triggered you, making you think death is the best way out. Dying and letting social security service officers pick up your body seems better than starving. At least, the immense guilt and anger in you will be soothed. But what next? What if I tell you I can take away all your concerns and hold your hand through the dark till you're able to stand on your own again? What if I help you become strong enough to get revenge? Will you still want to die?” Alvin asked, cupping her cheeks.

She looked up at him, her eyes surprised, unfocused and relieved, as if she finally found a savior.

“Leah, how old are you?” Alvin suddenly asked.

“I'm nineteen.” She murmured, avoiding his eyes.

‘Just nineteen? Which means she began to sponsor her boyfriend when she was sixteen, and probably began to date from fifteen. What kind of parents raised her? They let their underaged daughter be with a jerk. Or was she obstinate, ignoring their concern? She looks really stupid and misplaced her priority, dating at a time she should be improving herself.’ Alvin thought, trying to keep his expressions plain and avoid showing his disdain towards the pathetic blockhead.

“What about you? You got married at nineteen.” The system said with a sneer in its voice, making Alvin speechless.

After a while, he finally found a comeback.

‘Mine is different. Grandpa forced me to marry Sonya to see if she would stop being rebellious. Besides, I didn't contribute a dime to the marriage and wedding, except for the salary they forced me to hand over. Furthermore, grandpa paid off my student loans, and completed my fees which were not covered by the scholarship, letting me graduate successfully at twenty years old, and procured my results. He also secretly paid for me to get my masters degree at the cyber university. So, you see, I only got married that early because it was beneficial to my future. I didn't become stupid because I got married. I had all my senses intact and trod carefully. Just that Sonya was lower and more irredeemable than I expected, going overboard after the tragedy grandpa encountered. I think they're the ones who made him suffer a stroke. So, if you check our situation, I'm nothing like this dummy. Not at all. She's a girl yet she's spending her money on a man she's not married to.’

Alvin smiled at the girl and caressed her face, showing nothing of his initial thoughts.

“Don't blame yourself, alright? I will support you till you feel like leaving. Will you come with me?”

The girl waited for a while as if considering his words and nodded, making a wide smile spread on his face.

“Good! But you have to promise me not to think about suicide or do such a cowardly thing like putting yourself in danger.”

“I promise. I will never try to kill myself, ever again.” She whispered, making a genuine smile spread on Alvin’s face and he pulled her closer for a hug.

“Ding! Congratulations on completing your mission. You have been rewarded with fifty million dollars, a real estate coupon to cash out any villa of your choice as long as it's below seventy million dollars. One revival pill and one weapon coupon.” The system announced, making Alvin's heart skip multiple beats. The screen appeared once more, showing his account balance and inventory dashboard.

“Do you want to manifest your unlimited black master card now? It will help you to easily pay for products later.” The system added, making the bewildered Alvin even more excited.

“This system is truly real?”

    “If I'm fake, why are you still alive now?” The system bit back, almost as if it could feel emotions. “Bring out the master card.” Alvin instructed. He heard a low buzzing sound in his head and a black card appeared in his hand. His name and QR code was printed in gold on the card. “Isn't this the rumored vvip black card that less than one percent of the world’s population has access to?” Alvin muttered, feeling excited. “Of course. Your current account balance can only be fit for such a card. In the future, more money will roll in as long as you complete your missions successfully. Your card might even be upgraded to a supreme card. This time, you were compensated with ten times the amount you spent to get the bike here and other things. You even got a coupon. You only need to walk into any real estate company of your choice, select a preferred villa and the system will pay for it.”Alvin was giddy with excitement.

    “Your mission is to make all these people stop looking down on you, and punish them for their errors. In other words, you must increase your prestige point by ten percent. If you must be the biggest global star, and the most powerful man in the world, one thing you can't lack is prestige, admiration and worship of people. This is not just a mission, it's your first training.”“What's my current prestige point?” Alvin asked in his mind. “1%. And that one percent is only because the little fool you just rescued respects you, alongside that bartender colleague of yours.”“What's the difficulty level of the mission? And what are the rewards?”“Worry about passing successfully before you think about the reward.” The system said, casually dismissing him.“Look at how stomped he looks at being found out. He's merely a snake pretending to be a dragon. Get out immediately before the security gets here. Otherwise, even the king of heaven won't be able to save you.” One of the sales attendants

    Alvin scoffed at them and rolled his eyes, waiting for more drama. The manager had a sharp eyes and was discerning. “Customer, is that what happened? I want to hear from you.”“Manager, what do you mean? Are you doubting me?” The sales attendant quickly interrupted, looking upset. “Shut up immediately, unless you want to get fired. Customer, please.”“I came here to take my sister shopping, in my bid to cheer her up. Who would have expected that your sales attendant would insult us? She even tried to slap me, and all I did here was in self defense. You can check the cameras. All the people I hit were those who tried to hit me first. My sister went through a lot last night barely surviving a life and death accident. I brought her here to cheer her up, and let her clean up before we leave. But your good staff assaulted us, frightening my already scarred sister even more. How do you think we should settle this?” Alvin asked, looking straight at the manager. The manager watched him ca

He looked at the manager and immediately began to drool. “Pretty woman, are you the manager of this place?” “Yes. How may I help you?” The manager asked, trying hard to hide her disgust. “Get this idiot arrested before any other thing. How dare he attack me?” Liam Shawn said with a smile and grabbed the manager's arm. She immediately tried to push him away, but his strength was superior. “Don't be like this. I can take care of you, give you luxury items, and let you travel around the world. How about you become my woman?” He said with a creepy smile which made his eyes look smaller than usual. The manager made a face and immediately tried to push him away. “Let go of me, now.” She shouted, but Liam paid her no heed. “Don't be like that.

    Alvin looked at himself in the mirror of the VIP bathroom in the private lounge where the manager took him to and was immediately surprised. After taking a bath and changing into the clothes which the manager had brought for him, he looked like a different person. His deep russet colored eyes matched his burgundy colored suit to create a powerful combination that awed even himself. He strapped the grand Seiko brand watch on his wrist, and completed his exotic look. Indeed, the clothes make the man. The Alvin before him was one he had never seen before, his attire suited him perfectly, making him look like a billionaire CEO. And this was in a situation where he warned the manager to be conservative with money. Now imagine if he bought really expensive items worth millions, like Rolex Daytona. How would he look then? Indeed poverty is a bastard. No wonder everyone treats a broke man like trash. He sighed and loosened one more button on his shirt, showing a clear view of his sexy Ada

    “The system requires you to be ruthless, uncompromising and deadly. That's the only way you can fulfill your role.” The system's voice finally softened, as he sat on the sofa and picked up a magazine. However, he was in no mood to listen to any more of the system’s nonsense. Just then, he heard footsteps walk into the longue where he was sitting, making him look up. It was Leah and the manager, alongside two new sales attendants who were struggling with the numerous bags containing the things they bought. “Wow!” Alvin whispered, as he watched the newly transformed girl. She no longer looked like the messed up gutter rat he picked up a few hours ago. She was dressed in a designer skirt and top made of the softest pink cashmere, she was wearing a pearl necklace, a silver colored shoe to match her necklace and her soft skin, silver colored purse, a bracelet made of diamonds, and a beautiful pink strap leather watch which looked very expensive. Her hair was styled to perfection and sh

    “You have been rewarded with the latest model of the limited edition Lamborghini Aventador, seventy percent of Stars Wave entertainment shares, ten million dollars, one thousand system points, one reversal talisman, one physique training art, and battle skill. In addition, there are two lucky draws which you can use to draw lots for either techniques, weapons, treasures, or skills. Do you want to cash it out?”Alvin didn't hear the rest of what the system said. He only registered the Lamborghini before the Stars Wave entertainment shares struck him dumb. Stars Wave entertainment was the third biggest entertainment agency in the country and ranks top five in the entire continent. Getting signed to such a company that raised legendary musicians, actors and models was once a dream which he didn't dare to indulge in. But he was casually gifted seventy percent of the shares. Doesn't that make him the majority shareholder? Starswave, that behemoth was now his? He now owned the third bigges

    “What are you talking about? This car is an automatic, it drove here on its own after I called for it. Are you getting in or not?” Alvin asked and got into the car. Leah who was still hesitating quickly got in because he looked angry and impatient, as if he would really leave her behind. “Leah, it's better not to ask lots of questions in the future. There are lots of things you won't understand about me going forward, and a lot of things that may not make sense to you. But all I promise is that you will be well taken care of.” Alvin added after some thoughts. “Are you into illegal business?” Leah asked slowly, as if picking her words. “No. Do I look like that kind of person? I don't do illegal things, you don't have to worry about that.” Soon, he arrived at a nearby restaurant. It was a four star restaurant and they were already open for business. Some upper class office workers already stopped there to have breakfast on their way to work. Although the restaurant was not fi

  • Is that him?

    The emotions soon gripped Alvin and tears began to roll down his cheeks from behind the mask as he immersed himself in the memories of his past. The pain of surviving without family, going all kinds of low and accepting all kinds of dirt to survive. The humiliation, the pain, the exploitation, the times he always fell flat on his face immediately after standing up just when he thought he had won, the constant betrayals from those around him meant to protect him, and his heart crushing numerous times till he had none left. All the pains he endured and all the types of destructive thoughts he had to overcome to stay alive kept replaying. However, the mysterious thing was that despite the fact that he was crying profusely lost in his memories, his voice didn't falter or crack one bit. It was steady all through, clear and mesmerizing. The final interlude soon came and he continued to play the tone, in readiness to deliver the last verse. “I could understand, if it was a stranger. Perhaps

    Alvin cursed out loud. Sure enough, the system was not to be trusted. “You have twenty minutes before the time starts counting. Check carefully what you need.”“Damn it!” Alvin’s mind began to work fast. Creating music was not a problem since it had been ingrained in him, a dream he held dear to his heart. But creating multiple good music within a few minutes enough to last four hours seemed like mission impossible to him. “What do those K-pop idols prepare when going live?” He whispered, quickly grabbing a writing pad and pen. “First a karaoke machine, piano, DJ set, condenser microphone, make up, and costume. Then there's the lighting devices, piano to create the music and phone. I don't even have a phone, damn it.”“You can buy a phone from the system inventory store which will be connected to you. As for the karaoke machine, you have a music room upstairs with piano, guitar and even a drum set.”Alvin began the race upstairs. Luckily, he didn't meet anyone, otherwise they woul

    Anthony picked up a pen from the bedside table and removed the pen cover. He walked to the balcony, overlooking the garden. With concentration, he aimed at one of the branches of the apple tree in the garden. However, his aim suddenly changed at the last minute, and he hurled the pen without much thought. Almost immediately, the cry of a bird was heard, alongside a dull thud. The pen had pierced a bird flying past, instantly killing the bird. Anthony couldn't help but smile, although a small part of him felt sorry for the bird. “Amazing. Accuracy is 100%. Congratulations master, you have reached perfection in the hidden weapon technique.” Just then, the people who were in the other garden relaxing heard the strange sound and ran to the spot. Amanda reached the bird first and screamed in horror, quickly rushing back. “What was that?” Elena asked, holding Oliver tightly. Sam reached there and gasped, his eyes wide with shock. He picked it up and showed it to them. “Someone k

    “What do you think is holding the boss in there? It has been two days, but he never left his room. He hasn't eaten for two days. Should we go check on him?” Amanda asked one day as they were taking Oliver out for some fresh air. Her face had considerably healed. The only sign of injury on her face was the reddish area on her face but the injury was healing up nicely. “Why are you so concerned? Maybe you should go to his room. He gave you permission to go check out his bed skills, have you forgotten?” Sam asked. “You're mad. May thunder fire you. Useless man.” All Sam did was laugh at the red faced Amanda who was about to faint from anger. “It's better not to go there. He warned us not to ever disturb him when he's in his room. He could be doing something important like research. Whenever he feels like it, he will come down.” Tiffany said, lazily eating an apple while hanging from a swing in the garden. “Is this how you guys live everyday?” Elena suddenly asked, throwing a pe

    “The techniques you learn are a collection of the most powerful techniques from the strongest martial Gods. The god you just fought—or rather, who just beat you up, is none other than the assassin god, Sima Wu Jian. He's the commander of darkness, and doesn't need weapons to kill. At the age of fifteen he killed cultivators two realms higher than his realm back then. And you must realize that a gap in cultivation realm is insurmountable for cultivators. Someone of a higher realm can easily squash another of a lower realm without breaking a sweat. That's why a battle is only fair when carried out among people of the same realm. Now imagine someone killing not one, but two people two realms higher than he is. Impossible and ridiculous, right? But he did it and came out alive. The method of learning takes you to the masters who created the technique, or rather simulates them. And inside that simulation created by the system, you learn personally from the creators. As for Sima Wu Jian wh

    “There are areas even more powerful than what you just told me.” Alvin whispered, his heart beating in excitement. “Of course. Even more awe inspiring is the poison miasma of the medicine sage valley.” “Poison miasma…” Alvin whispered, immediately realizing that this was the target he was meant to go after. “You guessed it right. The poison miasma is a lake made up of a million different poisons, combined from the most dangerous poisons in existence. And all these poisons are naturally occurring. While the lake of flame's existence can be traced, no one knew where the poison miasma came from or what triggered such a dangerous thing. Even the clouds and sky above it is poisonous. The air around it cannot be inhaled to avoid being poisoned. Every plant growing around it is poisoned. There's nothing safe around it. But in the midst of this evil that can kill even the strongest of gods, a heaven defying treasure appeared.” Alvin frowned as the system stopped talking. He was hating

    Alvin entered the shower again and turned on the shower hose. “Damn it.” He whispered, caressing his co*k which was rock hard. “How could this happen?” He whispered, ramming his fist into the shower cubicle. “You should be happy that you got tempted. Otherwise, the girls would actually believe that you're impotent.” The system chipped in. “Impotent? Who is impotent?” Alvin asked in fury. “That's what your girls just said when they saw Elena taking the walk of shame after getting rejected. What kind of healthy man actually rejects such beautiful women without even blinking. Even I would have been worried about you if you still had no reaction to her. You should enjoy beautiful ladies now that you're still young.” “No, thanks. I don't need women in my life at this point in time.” Alvin replied absent minded. “Hey, you asked me about the way to rapidly increase soul power a while ago. I told you it's through working hard at cultivation. But there are actually a few short cu

    “Where's Miss Elena? The food is almost ready.” Martha said, looking up from the pot before her. Leah was sitting on the kitchen counter watching them work, while Amanda who still had her face wrapped with gauze was sitting at a corner, peeling fruits. As for Tiffany, she was equally helping Martha to cook. “She's upstairs. She went to see the boss. I saw her entering the boss's room.” Amanda replied, not thinking much about her answer. “Hum? Why did she do that? Didn't he hear him say his room was off limits?” Sam, who was standing before the grill, asked. “It's really not hard to know what she's thinking. The antidote to the poison is not available on earth. Which means that he needs to make a new one from scratch, which involves starting a new research. To establish a new research lab or work on a new project, especially one with no leads, requires a lot of money and effort. It will cost tens and hundreds of millions, or even billions.

    Alvin was immediately infuriated at the thought of Leah behaving foolishly with his money just as she did with her parents’ wealth. “The money I give her is for household expenses. It's still mine. If she doesn't have the good sense to spend it well, I will stop giving her lots of money. I might have a few millions, but they're not to be wasted. It was gotten through the blood sacrifices I made, endangering myself. I won't allow her to use it in an improper way.” “Alright, alright. I believe she has learnt her lessons already. I will transfer the money. You should just tell her to pay the salary of staff, maintain the farm and improve the standard of living for those working at the ranch. She should also provide the supplies and pay the bills from it. You will be too busy to handle these things. So she might as well run the house till you find a better option. I will transfer the money now.” Alvin nodded and reached for his towel, wrapping it around his waist. He had already lai
