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

    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

    Tiffany looked at Amanda with a mischievous smile. “You are a content creator with quite the amount of followers. Since we moved in here, you have been creating content non stop taking advantage of the beautiful environment, from pretending to cook to taking cooking videos, to the garden, pools, playground, the wine cellar, and even riding horses at the horse ranch, making you gather lots of followers.”Amanda scowled, getting angry. “Are you accusing me of living a fake life? I might have posted pictures and videos which I took here, but I never claimed they were mine. We don't leave the house for security reasons, unless necessary. Where else will I create content if not here? Besides, do I need to go out of my way to find a location when I can come up with content right here? Tiffany, you also post pictures taken here. You're worse than me borrowing Leah's Jewelries and posing beside the boss’s car!”Tiffany shook her head, waving her fingers before her. “You're missing the whol

  • The septillionaire's superstar system   HYPNOTIZING THEM

    The drum beats took up the most parts of the song, while Alvin casually bobbed his head to the sound of the beat. Soon, the song's tempo increased and Alvin began to beat the drums like a mad man, multiplying the speed by several tiers. But the amazing thing was that he never missed a beat, till he delivered the last hit, sweat pouring out of his body as he used the drum to release all his pent up emotions and stress. “The song just messed with my mind. I think I had deja vu while listening. I could see a man tied to a stake, burning with a thousand arrows shot at him, with vicious people who had bloody fangs pulling on the rope holding him hostage. And a silver light suddenly flashed, slicing the ropes apart, letting him regain freedom.”“Same here. How can an audio description ignite such a vivid experience? Is this still talent? He didn't hypnotize us, did he?” “I want him to hypnotize me.”“I never realized watching a sweating man could be erotic.”“What's the song title?” When

    The system merely gave him a dark chuckle and ignored him. Alvin got ready for his last performance twenty minutes to the elapsing of the time. He wore his boots, T-shirt, and another shirt over that, and rugged blue jeans. He immediately transformed into a mischievous rock star, holding his electric acoustic guitar. He played the intro, bobbing his head like a lizard. “Who is my heart waiting for? Last night, exhausted from hours of work without rest, hit the bed knowing I only have an hour. Loneliness seeps into my bones, surrounded by beauty yet craving none. Scarred? It could be. Thinking about a fairytale with an unknown face, sure to have a pretty smile. Yet again I ask, who is my heart waiting for?”The song continued, telling a resonating story of a lonely man wishing for love, wondering where the fated love could be waiting for him? Where should he go to find her? He soon changed to another song. The beat slightly changed at first, but he soon transitioned to the full sca

    Alvin's heart skipped multiple beats the moment he heard the woman scream. “This annoying system, of all places…” He quickly found his footing and swam to the surface, only to see a sharp blade of sword light coming for his eyes. He gasped and immediately blocked it, his heart beating wildly. “Don't look! If you dare to look I will castrate you and blind you.” The girl shouted again. Her voice seemed like that of a young girl which should be around Leah's age. “I won't look, I won't look, I swear. Aish! How did I even end up here?” Alvin replied, raising his hands in surrender while using his legs to keep afloat. “What are you doing in my quarters? You want to peep at your grandmother. Don't you know that this place is a restricted area?Especially for male disciples. I could kill you now without consequences.” A cold voice said, and Alvin found the tip of a very sharp sword pointed at his neck. Damn it! This was the first day, yet he had already gotten into trouble the moment he

    Alvin immediately jumped on hearing the death sentence that was just passed on him. “Yah! What do you mean by I know too much? Why are you determined to kill me? I could help you, you know.” The girl's face was red, the color of shame. If telling someone about her rare condition was something impossible, letting another soul discover the side effects which it brought along was even more ridiculous, something a proud daughter of heaven, the self acclaimed immortal priestess of purity, the almighty sword goddess, will never allow herself to be associated with. Such an evil , disgusting and distasteful incident was something she must never be associated with. Her pride pierced through the heavens and it was no secret she thought herself superior to all the men her age, feeling like a goddess looking down on mere mortals. When her father tried to arrange a marriage for her with the son of a very powerful clan on her coming of age ceremony, she outrightly refused before everyone, ca

  • The septillionaire's superstar system   Heavenly sword sect

    Alvin quickly moved, knocking the sword off her hand which made her startled and pulled her into his arms. “Stop treating me like a scoundrel. Otherwise, I might truly become one.” He whispered, his breath falling slightly against her ear. Without warning he released her, making her stumble a bit, her heart beating erratically as she looked up at him. “I'm Shi Yue, my father is the sect master. And this is the heavenly sword sect. And I'm the second disciple. Our first brother, Shi Wei, is the one who came with his men to check on me.” (Shi Wei = magnificent era/ powerful generation, Shi Yue = era of the moon/ moonlit generation) “I'm Alvin Kent, and it was not so nice to meet you.” He replied, earning him a scowl from her . “What do you need for the treatment?” The girl asked impatiently, earning her a side eye from Alvin who faked a smile and turned to her. “I have my acupuncture needles here with me for the first step. As for the second step, herbs are needed in addit

    “Where are you going to?” Shi Yue asked, making Alvin who was about to leave the room stop in his tracks. “Where else? I told you I came in search of herbs. I need to leave here and move around to find it.” Alvin replied, adjusting the Ming dynasty style belt around his waist. Shi Yue chuckled darkly. “Are you truly stupid or are you pretending to be clueless? This is heavenly sword sect. One of the most secure locations in this continent. The moment you step out, one of the patrolling disciples will apprehend you. Although you have changed out of your weird clothes into something more acceptable, you still stick out like a sore thumb. The inner court disciples know each other from years of training together. A strange face or even aura would be picked out by the experts immediately. Even a fly can't get past without help from an insider. Not just any insider but one that knows the sect like the palm of their hands, one that has the authority to get past any area in the sect. But

  • MEANING OF PRESTIGE

    Another set of people the elders didn't dare to mess with are Qin Li from the southern Qin family, Su Ying from blossom clan, Chu Feng from the Chu family, Su Mei the healing god's descendant. As for Yang Yang and Zhang Chen, while from prestigious families, they were not among the most favored kids of their clans. But that didn't mean they would let it slide if someone attacked them. These sets of students only came to hone their skills in a competitive environment, not that they needed any of the resources provided by the valley. While the children of the elders and valley master could walk sideways in the valley, abusing disciples from less prestigious homes, the ones from these terrifying backgrounds can make even the elders take steps back. If it was in the valley's heydays, they need not pay anyone attention or give anyone face. But the valley has been experiencing steady decline in the past century, decaying inside out, while maintaining its prestigious shell outside. And

    The system chuckled slightly. “Don't you know the reason by now? He has sacrificed a lot for his juniors, in his bid to set a good example, and return the sect to the right track. And they see them all, he not just commands respect, he demands it. The incident today should have shown you the amount of influence he has in the sect. The sect elders wanted to take the treasures and give them scrap benefits and contribution points. Who does contribution points help in real life circumstances? What a joke! The things they got are way more practical, more expensive and important than whatever they would have been given.” Alvin nodded, analyzing the incidents that happened earlier in the evening. The elders they reported to wanted to cheat them out of their rightful possession. But Murong Wuque put his feet down, insisting on taking seventy percent and giving the sect thirty percent. He even cited the severe injuries on Qin Li's body, using it to explain how perilous the journey was. The

    But the next moment, Allvin chuckled lightly, not looking bothered at all. “You're my system, right? Aren't you here to make my desires happen?” “Hmmm. You keep getting more and more shameless… unruly even. Are you trying to make me work like a slave, for free?” “I can give you a bj as payment if you want. That's if you actually have a physical body.” Alvin’s voice was mischievous “You! You're naughty. Who would believe you're still a virgin?” Alvin chuckled, enjoying the system's company. It's not only the system who is allowed to tease him, it's good for him to tease it. These past few days the system kept silent, he had been bored senseless. He was relieved to have his capable system beside him. “I knew it, you low key enjoy my company and teasing.” Alvin went speechless. How could he forget that the system could hear everything going on in his mind? “This is invasion of privacy. There should be a software somewhere that can be used to block you from watching me like a

    “Why is senior Qin Li not here yet? Could he have been ambushed?” Ouyang Tingling whispered, pacing around. “Oh please. It's Qin Li, who can possibly trap him? Be real, can anyone keep him against his will, he will freeze the entire mountain before he let that happen.” “That's true, senior Qin Li is truly powerful, no one can trap him against his will. He would definitely find the time to send off a signal requesting reinforcement.” “But why is he not back yet, did he get injured? Should we go comb the forest?” Chu Feng asked, running his hands through his hair. “I'm here.” Alvin muttered in Qin Li’s deep voice. “Senior Qin, what took you so long?” Ouyang Tingling. “I mistakenly stepped into a trap which got me injured. I'm here, aren't I?” Murong Wuque looked at ‘Qin Li’ suspiciously, and his eyes went to his shoes. He scoffed and shaked his head. “Can you walk? You're standing in a funny posture. Was the bone affected?” She asked, walking around him. Alvin felt awkwa

  • let me chain you

    Alvin took a deep breath and sighed heavily, biting his lips. “It doesn't matter. Even if it's a suicide mission I will still enter and take it. My brother has been poisoned with a deadly poison and the only cure lies in the valley. I must retrieve it no matter what.” Qin Li kept quiet, watching him as if considering some things. “You could have asked Murong Wuque, first brother seems to think highly of you, he would definitely agree to help. Isn't that better than going through all the stress? Forget it, release me and tell me what you want, first brother and I will find a way to retrieve it for you. There will be no need to resort to stealing.” Alvin was taken aback but he immediately chuckled. “What I want, I'm afraid that even Murong Wuque cannot bring it to me. Even if you guys want to, I won't let you do such stupid things and end up in trouble.” Qin Li frowned. “Let me guess, you don't only want to steal one item. You have multiple targets. While saving your brothe

    The others would peek at Murong Wuque at intervals. His clothes were ripped at some places, the first time they were seeing him in something that was not flawlessly white and free from creases. “First brother seems to be really angry this time. He misunderstood me. He…” Chu Feng pulled Su Ying into his arms and patted her back. “It's nothing. First brother loves you the most. How can he bear to stay angry at you? Besides, you worked the hardest down there. His words were directed at us, not you.” “He's not angry, just exhausted.” Yang Yang chipped in. “Instead of gossiping there, you guys should go gather some fruits and also make sure that there's no demon remaining in the surrounding forests. You all have fifteen minutes. The girls should stay behind, it's already nightfall and it's not safe for them. Once the fifteen minutes is up, we will go up the mountain and return to the valley. Hurry up, otherwise you will be locked out of the sect, I won't wait or return to search

  • Reassemble

    Alvin was breathing heavily as he leaned against his needle for support, his body suit was stained with filth, and he was wheezing. Zhang Chen killed the last one standing, and stabbed his sword into the ground. Alvin looked at him with a newfound respect. Since he was that strong, why didn't he do much in the underground palace, leaving Murong Wuque, Alvin, Qin Li, Su Ying and Chu Feng to do the bulk of the work. He felt cheated but he could only sigh and console himself with the fact that he was gaining real combat experience through the bitter battles he had been engaging in since he arrived. “Everyone step back!” Su Ying shouted, her voice grating as she swirled her whip high up in the air. She swung it in a circle, sweeping up the tents, the dead bodies, and heaps of dirt transformed from dead zombies, all into a huge pile. Once everything was piled up in the middle, Zhang Chen set fire to it, using a mysterious lava. ‘Could this be the molten lava from the volcano?’ A

    Qin Li stopped before a young girl, severely bleeding and gasping like one on her last legs. “Are you alright? What happened?” She gasped and wheezed, repeating what happened, in an even more graphic detail. Ouyang Tingling and the rest arrived at this point, listening in on the story. “Do you know the direction the demon hid?” The girl nodded, and pointed in a direction. Qin Li smiled at her and patted her hair. “Good girl, we will find that despicable demon soon.” “You have to take revenge for us, especially those who lost their lives.” The girl whispered, gasping and wheezing. Qin Li nodded and smiled. “Of course, they must definitely be avenged.” He whispered and stretched to his full height. Qin Li turned to his companions, his eyes cold and expressionless. “Let's go.” They immediately turned to leave, in the direction she pointed. With a careless backhand throw, Qin Li unleashed an arrow at the girl, nailing her to the tree. The arrow went through her he

  • Finding a Survivor

    Alvin had experienced first hand about how powerful, talented and insanely talented the medicine sage valley’s disciples were on this mission. Just fourteen of them could impress him. How about their more than a hundred disciples present back in the valley? And he also never experienced their true skills and the level of their expertise because Murong Wuque did all the hard work, letting them act leisurely. He had not seen them fight with the smell of death clinging to their skins. All through the missions, each person used their individual skills either bestowed by their masters or gotten from their families before they joined the valley, showing how powerful their backgrounds were. Those kinds of people were definitely no pushovers, the valley was extremely selective when accepting disciples. In addition, none of them used their strongest weapons—poison. The disciples of the valley were notorious for poisoning opponents to death in dire situations. They didn't use it this time be
