2025-02-10 05:44:50A 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.

Zed stood there calmly after hearing the words of Mia, his hands casually tucked in his pockets, and his gaze fixed on Mia and her friends. The expression on his face was unreadable as he glanced at them.One of the security men walked towards Zed, his hulking figure dwarfing him instantly."Sir, I'm sorry but you have to leave now." The guard stated firmly."And why should I leave? I thought this mall was open to everyone?" Zed asked calmly, his gaze never leaving Mia."You're not a customer here, Zed, you're only a creepy stalker. You say you are not stalking me and you're only here to shop...tell me, how would a trash like you afford the goods that are sold here?!"

The door of an office on the top floor in the mall flung open, and a man dashed outside. The man was in his early twenties, clad in a black suit and red tie. He didn't bother using the elevator as he swiftly ran down the staircase. He had just received a credit alert of an amount that the mall hasn't made in years, and he was eager to know who made the transfer. He ran down the staircase as fast as he could, and a few moments later he arrived on the second floor where he could see the female cashier and a group of people standing in front of her. He swiftly made his way towards them. "Mirabel! I just received a credit alert of two million dollars!" The man, known as Carlos, blurted out in shock, and everyone watching gasped in shock. "Oh, you have confirmed it. It was sent by this man." The cashier informed. Hearing the words of the cashier, Carlos shifted his gaze towards Zed, and he made his way towards him. "Good day, sir." He greeted respectfully. "Thank you for choosin

[Congratulations! You completed the compulsory quest. Please choose your reward.][1- $10,000,000][2- Golden card]Zed glanced at the screen briefly before dismissing it.

Zed sat opposite Jessica and the middle-aged man. His arms folded, and his expression unreadable. Elena stood a few meters away from them, but she made sure she kept a close eye on them and listened to whatever they were about to discuss."I'm Jessica by the way. Jessica Maguire." Jessica introduced politely."Zed Zimmerman." Zed replied."I heard you are also interested in this shopping mall, and you're willing to double whatever amount I offer, right?" Jessica stated."That is correct." Zed affirmed."Why? Why are you so interested in this... small mall that is in the middle of nowhere?" She asked."Why are you also interested in it?"

She stood there as she watched him leave."He....just said my name. How does he know my name?" She mused.Elena doesn't remember introducing herself to Zed, she also didn't see the previous landlord mentioning her name to him. But for some reason he knows it."What a strange fella."

A name
The deafening gunshot echoed in the sterile room. Salazar pulled the trigger without hesitation, sending a bullet tearing through the man’s left eye. Blood and brain matter splattered grotesquely across the walls and floor as the man collapsed instantly, dead before his body even hit the ground.The nurses screamed, several of them turning away and shielding their eyes, unable to bear the gruesome scene. One nurse dropped the tray she was carrying, the metallic clang lost under the chaos.Doctor Anderson, however, remained still. His face was an impassive mask, although the beads of sweat glistening on his forehead betrayed his fear. He struggled to maintain his composure, knowing any sudden movement could make him the next target.The two remaining guards panicked, their faces draining of color. Cold sweat poured down their temples, their breaths coming in shallow gasps.Without mercy, Salazar shifted his aim toward the second man. His finger tightened on the trigger again."Please..
Salazar
Elsewhere in the city...Inside the largest and most prestigious hospital in the entire city — Pentagon Hospital — a man walked briskly down a wide, polished hallway.He appeared to be in his late forties, a man of commanding presence, dressed in a fitted brown suit with a matching brown top hat perched elegantly on his head. His expression was cold and sinister, the kind that sent shivers down the spines of anyone who dared to meet his gaze. He leaned slightly on a walking cane held firmly in his right hand, but his steps were purposeful, radiating dominance and lethal intent.Trailing behind him were two large men, their physiques nothing short of monstrous. Their bulky muscles strained against the fabric of their black suits, and their faces bore the hardened, emotionless expressions of men for whom human life held little to no value. They were living weapons — enforcers of violence and death.They moved forward with grim purpose, the sound of their footsteps echoing off the steril
Once again, I lost to that bastard
Zed exited the lounge and made his way out of the building. As he stepped outside, he noticed that the hotel, which was once lively and bustling with people, was now almost empty. Most of the guests had already left after completing their interviews, while the ones who remained were either yet to be interviewed or had already been rejected and were now lingering around, hoping to plead for a second chance — or perhaps to bribe someone after the official proceedings had ended.Zed chose not to pay attention to any of them. Without sparing a second glance, he simply walked across the wide lobby, pushed through the heavy glass doors, and made his way towards his car parked a few meters away. He pressed the unlock button on his key fob, heard the soft beep, and pulled the car door open. Just as he was about to step inside, a voice called out from behind him."I thought you had already left," the voice said.Zed turned around slowly, his expression calm and unreadable. Standing a short dis
Agreement
Mrs. Josephine's smile widened, her confidence unshakable."Because he is different from the rest," she declared, her tone brooking no argument. "He's not here for an interview. He's here because I want to convince him to work with me."Lisa gave another respectful nod before slipping quietly out of the room to deliver the instructions.Moments later, the door opened again, and Zed Zimmerman entered the VIP lounge. His calm, assured presence filled the room instantly. Mrs. Josephine welcomed him with a radiant smile, motioning for him to take a seat opposite her at the table. She offered him a drink, which he politely declined after a short conversation, and then they swiftly moved on to the real reason for their meeting.Mrs. Josephine didn't waste time.She laid out her proposal clearly and confidently — she was willing to invest a staggering sum of $25,000,000 into Zed's company. In return, she requested a percentage of ownership, a move that would allow his firm to expand rapidly:
Personally
"I know who he is," Zed finally said, his voice low and even."I know exactly who he is. And I know he's a Warlord."Nick blinked, stunned by how calm Zed remained."Look," Nick growled, lowering his voice slightly but not his intensity, "I don't know why you did what you did, and frankly, I don't care.All I know is that we—Mia and I—never asked for your help.Mia didn't ask you to help her, and neither did I.You did this all on your own.So if Salazar comes for blood—and he will—you’re on your own.We won't get dragged down with you.""I know that," Zed replied coldly."I’ll take responsibility for my own actions. I won’t drag anyone else into this."Nick stared at him, disbelief and anger battling for dominance on his face.What’s wrong with this guy? he thought. Why is he so damn calm? Does he even understand the kind of monster he just poked?"It’s clear you don’t know what kind of mess you’re in," Nick hissed bitterly."You have no idea what a Warlord can do—that’s the only rea
Skill effect
The muscular men lay sprawled across the polished concrete floor, their heavy frames motionless and battered. Their faces, once filled with bravado, were now bright red and disfigured with bruises. Blood trickled steadily from their mouths and broken noses, forming small dark puddles beneath their heads.Zed stood over them like a grim executioner, his fists still clenched so tightly that the veins on his arms bulged. His chest rose and fell with calm, controlled breaths, his sharp gaze fixated coldly on the defeated men.'I did improve after the skill leveled up,' Zed mused internally, the thought flashing through his mind like lightning.He knew without a doubt: if his martial arts skill hadn’t leveled up, this outcome would have been far less clean.He might still have scraped out a victory, sure—but it would have been ugly. It would have taken time, and the cost would have been steep: cuts, bruises, broken bones, perhaps even worse.But now, with the skill upgraded to Level 2, eve
Back for revenge
The hall fell into a heavy, awkward silence. For a few moments, no one moved. Then, slowly, everyone began to resume what they were doing before the commotion. Some sipped their wine and resumed quiet conversations with their business partners, while others, curiosity gleaming in their eyes, made their way toward Zed.Zed inwardly cursed. He had wanted to keep a low profile tonight—to avoid any unnecessary attention—but his actions had just painted a giant target on his back. Now, everyone in the hall knew exactly who he was.Businessmen and women surrounded him, bombarding him with a barrage of questions about his company. They asked how Platinum Industries had managed to create and distribute such an astonishing number of vehicles to various dealerships in such a short time. They demanded to know how many employees worked under him, how much he made in a year, and if the rumors about his recent acquisition of a rocket engine were true. Some even boldly asked whether he had made any
Why did he help you?
Zed stood there like an immovable statue, composed and indifferent. Slowly, he withdrew his right hand, slipping it back into the safety of his pocket as if nothing had happened.He cast a cold, emotionless glance at Derrick, who lay several feet away, groaning pitifully and clutching his bleeding face.Zed watched him for a few moments, his face betraying no emotion whatsoever, before turning away nonchalantly and strolling back to his seat.He sat down smoothly, leaned back in his chair, and folded his arms across his chest.Mia remained rooted to the spot, stunned into silence. Her mind whirled with chaotic thoughts, her heart hammering wildly against her ribs.Why?Why had Zed intervened for her?Of all people, Zed was the last person she thought would come to her rescue. She had treated him like garbage, mocked him, humiliated him, and even stood silently when her father robbed him of everything he had worked for.And yet... he had still stepped forward.He had still defended her
Untouchable
All heads in the hall turned sharply at the sound of the man's voice, and when their gazes landed on him, their eyes widened slightly in surprise.It was Zed Zimmerman."Who's that man?" a woman among the crowd asked, craning her neck for a better look. "Wait, isn't that Mr. Zimmerman?""Mr. Zimmerman? Yes, it’s really him. The owner of Platinum Industries!" another voice chimed in, excitement tingling in her tone."I’ve always dreamed of meeting this man. I had no idea he would be in the same room as me," a younger lady added, her voice filled with awe."Oh my God, he's so handsome and charming," another woman gushed, her cheeks flushing slightly.The crowd immediately began to murmur among themselves, their eyes glued onto Zed with a mix of admiration, curiosity, and even a touch of envy.Derrick glared at Zed, scanning him from head to toe. His face twisted in recognition, and a scowl formed instantly."You... I know you. You’re that man from the club yesterday," Derrick blurted ou
