The system
last update2025-02-10 05:44:50

A soft voice sounded in his his head and a blue holographic screen materialized in front of him.

[Initializing Wealthy system]>

[New user detected]>

[Initiating deep Scan]>

[The scan will last for a total of 48 hours]

[Please prepare yourself]

Zed read through the notifications with a puzzled expression, and at the same time he struggled to keep the car moving and avoid crashing it.

"Wait, what the hell is this thing? And what does it mean by 'prepare yourself for the scan'" Zed blurted out, his gaze glued to the screen and his hands still gripping the wheel.

Suddenly, Zed began to feel dizzy, and his eyes were closing by the second.

"What...the... hell... Is.. happening?" Zed muttered sluggishly, and finally he blacked out.

"""

Zed's eyelids began to lift open as he slowly regained consciousness. After making sure he was fully awake,  he sat upright and glanced at the place he found himself in.

"My room." He mused, his confusion palpable as he kept glancing around the place while rubbing the back of his head.

The last thing he remembered was driving his car back home and those strange screens that kept popping up in front of him.

"How did I arrive here? And what the hell were those screen?" Zed stated with a puzzled expression as he kept rubbing the back of his head where he could feel a slight pain.

A few months after thought about the holographic screen, a loud chiming sound echoed in his head and a familiar blue screen appeared before him.

[Scan has been completed]

[Zed Zimmerman has obtained the Wealth and Fame building system]

Zed didn't panic after seeing the screen because it was something has seen before, so he just sat there and examined it.

"What the hell is this? A system?" Zed muttered, his gaze glued to the screen.

[I am the Wealth and Fame building system, and I am here to help you leap to the top and make you number one in the whole universe]>

The soft robotic voice sounded, and Zed's eyes widened in shock after hearing  those words.

"Did it just replied me?" Zed swallowed hard. "I think it's some sort of artificial intelligence. But what type of AI could make a person rich?"

"This is nonsense. It's not real. Maybe I had an accident in my car and i hit my head real hard and now I'm seeing things." He mused as he rubbed his eyes with the back of his hand, hoping to get rid of the screen.

However, when he opened his eyes he realized the screen was still there.

"It's still here? Could it be real?" Zed wondered, and a serious expression appeared on his face.

[I am real, Zed. And I am here to help you leap to the top and become the number one in the whole universe]

[If you wish to proceed please click on the {Begin} icon]

"I guess I have no choice but to see what it's all about. What do I have to lose?" Zed mused as he clicked on the icon, and the screen in front of him morphed into a whole new one.

[Please choose an occupation before we begin]

[List of occupation]

[Actor]

[Musician]

[Politician]

[Engineer]

[Doctor]

[Inventor]

[Farmer]

[Teacher]

There were so many occupations listed there, but Zed stopped scrolling down after catching sight of the one he was looking for.

[You have selected the Inventor occupation]

[Your journey to become the number one inventor in the whole universe will now begin]

Zed sat there, examining the screen attentively.

[Your first quest has arrived.]

[Quest information: Get your first workshop and also get the necessary tools used for an invention]

[Quest duration: One week]

[Reward: $10,000,000]

Zed's jaw dropped after reading the notification, and his eyes widened in disbelief.

"Ten million dollar is the reward for the quest?" He blurted out in shock. "Is this some sort of scam or prank? This is too good to be true."

Ten million?

That was more than he earned in six months while working in the Eclipse industries. In fact, Zed was certain that he has never received such an amount of money in his entire life.

But for some reason this system was willing to give it to him if he completes a simple task which was for him to get a workshop of his own.

Every inventor needs a workshop. The workshop and tools comes first before any other thing, and since he selected the 'Inventor' occupation the next thing was the workshop.

"This sounds like a lie, but I'm willing to give it a shot." Zed pondered.

Zed had nothing to lose.

He already lost everything earlier, and right now he had nowhere else to go or who to turn to. So he had no choice but to trust this strange system. If ur turns out to be a lie he would just put it all behind him and move on.

Zed got off his bed and walked to the window. He glanced outside and saw the sun shining brightly.

"I wonder what time it is. Where the hell is my phone?" He turned around and began to scan the room until he spotted his phone ontop his wooden drawer.

He swifly made his way towards it and picked it up, and when he glanced at the screen his eyes widened in shock after catching sight of the date.

"17th, Thursday, 2024?" Zed mused, his gaze fixed intently on the screen.

The day he lost his job was on the 15th, on a Tuesday afternoon, and today's date was 17th meaning it happened two days ago.

"If I remember correctly, that day, before I blacked out, the system mentioned something about a scan. It said the scan will last for 48 hours which is two days. If I indeed blacked out for two days immediately after the system told me I would, then I think that's enough reason for me to believe that this system is real. And if I complete the task I will become the number one." Zed bellowed to himself, and a grin evident on his face.

  • Marked by the Emperor

    Salazar McCall leaned forward and puffed out smoke from his mouth before speaking, his voice low and deliberate. "So... what's the update? Why have you brought this man here?" he asked, smoke curling from his lips with every word he uttered, drifting upward like a serpent into the air."This man, Leo, was caught stealing from us, boss," one of the guards standing beside Salazar growled, his gaze fixed intensely on the young man kneeling before them. "He hid several packs of cocaine that we were supposed to deliver to Mr. Davidson. He stashed them away so he could sell them later and pocket the profits for himself," he added with scorn.The man on his knees swallowed hard, his Adam’s apple bobbing. Cold sweat trickled down his face in thin streams, and his hands trembled uncontrollably. He looked utterly defeated.Salazar’s expression darkened upon hearing the report. He didn’t blink, didn’t move. His cold, calculating eyes remained locked on the kneeling figure.After a long, tense pa

  • Calculated moves

    Zed sat comfortably in his chair, his left elbow resting against the desk in front of him while his right hand held his phone. Seated across from him were four of his most trusted employees: Steve, Amanda, Christopher, and Han.Christopher was one of Zed's top engineers—young, talented, and full of innovative thinking. Han, on the other hand, was a middle-aged man, seasoned and deeply respected within the company. He was one of the sharpest minds Zed had ever worked with. The way Han brainstormed and delivered fresh ideas was on another level entirely—almost as if inspiration itself flowed through him.But Han’s value to Zed extended far beyond his intelligence. He was connected—deeply connected. Friends in high places, across various top-tier engineering firms in the city, often made the impossible possible for him. Through those connections, Han had helped Zed acquire advanced engines and rare equipment from elite manufacturers. Engines that were considered off-limits, even to other

  • Unlocked

    Zed stood there in the hallway, his gaze fixated on his personal office that was located a few paces away from where he was, and a slight look of puzzlement etched on his face.As he glanced at the door, he noticed it was slightly open, and that alone made him extremely confused."Why is it open?" he wondered, then slowly began to walk towards it. He advanced with caution, his gaze never leaving the door.Zed finally halted his steps in front of the door and glanced at it for a few moments before raising his right hand to push it open. The door creaked the second he pushed it, and his eyes widened slightly."I remember locking this door the last time I was in here... I always lock it whenever I leave." He mused silently. "So why is it unlocked?"Zed opened the door wider before stepping inside slowly, and as he did, he scanned the place thoroughly.This room was where he kept important documents. Documents like his house ownership papers, vehicle documents, essential receipts, contrac

  • Armed

    The early morning sun rose steadily over the horizon, its golden rays piercing through the translucent curtains and flickering into the spacious room. Streams of sunlight danced across the furniture until they landed squarely in the eyes of Zed Zimmerman, rousing him from his slumber. He stirred gently, letting out a soft yawn as he sat upright, blinking against the light.Swinging his legs off the bed, he slowly stood, stretching his limbs with a grunt. He rolled his ankles and flexed his calves, noticing something immediately—the soreness in his legs was completely gone.“Finally,” Zed muttered under his breath, a faint smile crossing his face as he walked over to the window and paused.He stood still, gazing through the large window that overlooked the grounds below. The estate bathed in soft sunlight, birds flitting through the trees, and the dew still clinging to the grass created a quiet serenity. Yet, despite the peaceful scenery, Zed’s mind was far from calm. Thoughts clouded

  • Mystery

    Lucas stood motionless in the small, dimly lit office of Zed Zimmerman, his hands still clutching the worn leather journal, his eyes transfixed on the yellowing page before him. The warm glow from the antique desk lamp cast long shadows across the room, highlighting the dust particles swirling lazily in the air. Lucas’s brow furrowed as he read, his expression clouded with confusion.Nothing he was reading made sense. No matter how carefully he studied the journal, no matter how many times he reread the cryptic lines, comprehension remained stubbornly out of reach. The words taunted him—clear in form, yet cloaked in mystery.“What does he mean by ‘system’?” Lucas wondered silently, his eyes never leaving the page. “System? As in a computer system? But that makes no sense. I’ve never heard of a computer that gives its owner money… let alone that kind of money.”Zed hadn’t written much about the system in the journal. He hadn’t explained what it was or where it came from. All he did was

  • A journal

    Lucas watched him leave, then slowly lowered his gaze and began to ponder.“Tonight might be the perfect time to take a look around this mansion. I might not get another chance to be in here,” he mused silently, scanning the entire living room with a thoughtful expression. “When everyone’s asleep, I’ll take a look around. Who knows what I’ll find.”The two men sat there in silence for a while longer before finally rising to their feet. Together, they picked up the plates from the dining table and carried them into the kitchen. They ensured all the plates and utensils used for dinner were now in the sink before turning their attention to the table itself. They cleaned the entire surface meticulously, and soon, it sparkled just as brightly as it had before they’d started eating.“So... where are the rooms located?” Lucas inquired, breaking the silence. “You've been in this mansion before, so you should know.”“Uhm... I think there are about three extra rooms located upstairs beside the
