VICTOR CAREER SYSTEM

FIRST MISSION

"I am a bum, but I just became a shareholder in this five-star hotel and just banned you and your mannerless friends from this restaurant. You know, I loved you, but after what you did to me in that restaurant, I never want to see your face ever again!" Victor yelled, his voice filled with anger and disappointment.

"Guards, take them out of this restaurant," Victor commanded in a stern tone.

"Ladies, please head toward the exit. Don't make us drag you out," one of the guards added in a firm voice.

"You're going to pay for this, Victor! I don't care who you think you are, but this is not over!" one of Natalie's friends yelled defiantly.

“Yeah, you haven’t seen the last of me!” Tacha chimed in.

The guards escorted them out of the hotel, leaving them standing outside with disgruntled expressions. This experience was one of the most humiliating moments they had ever faced.

"Who does Victor think he is? I can't believe he has that kind of power to kick us out of the hotel," Tacha complained.

"Yeah, I thought Natalie told us he was broke and that she had been the one paying most of his bills," one of the girls added, all eyes turning to Natalie.

Natalie was still in shock, unable to process how Victor had gained such influence or ended up with Esther Kingston.

"Yes, Victor was broke and didn't have any money. I don't know how he became rich all of a sudden and even a shareholder in the hotel," Natalie mumbled softly.

"There must be a logical explanation for all this, but for now, let's find another hotel for our girls' night. Victor will definitely pay for what he's done to us," Tacha declared with determination.

Meanwhile, Victor was sitting in front of Esther, reflecting on the heated scene.

"That got intense. You certainly caused a scene," Esther remarked calmly.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to cause a scene. Natalie and her friends just couldn't accept being thrown out," he replied, sighing as he took a sip from his wine glass.

He felt a sense of satisfaction for having successfully taken revenge on Natalie and her friends.

Suddenly, the white screen of the system appeared before him.

[System Notification: 1st Mission Generated]

Victor wondered what this mission entailed, knowing that Esther couldn't see the white screen.

[Mission 1: You are going to work as a delivery man at any delivery company of your choice and become the Employee of the Month.]

[Mission Time Limit: 63 days]

[Reward: $3,000,000 and an opportunity to study any course of your choice (part-time), and you will unlock the system's Beginner's Medal.]

[The money previously given by the system will be reclaimed, leaving only what is left.]

'What on earth! This will make me poor again. You can't do that!' Victor panicked inwardly but couldn't express it loudly to avoid arousing Esther's suspicion.

[Disclaimer: If you don't pass the mission within the given time, the system will be inactive for 2 years. However, if you succeed in time, you'll receive the rewards and future missions. Other terms will be discussed as you progress.]

'So, all I have to do is become a delivery man within those 63 days and become Employee of the Month, and then I'll pass the mission, right?' Victor thought.

[Yes]

'Alright, I accept the mission.' The white screen of the system disappeared. Victor knew he couldn't afford to let the system go dormant for two years. It was a miraculous opportunity that had come into his life, and he was determined to make the most of it, earn the rewards, and pursue a part-time course to become a graduate.

"Victor! Victor!" Esther's voice brought him back to reality.

"Hey, what's up?" Victor asked, realizing his surroundings once more.

"You zoned out there for a moment, what's up?" Esther inquired, raising an eyebrow. Victor's phone buzzed with a notification, and he took it out to find that he had been debited $760,000, leaving him with only $496, which was the initial amount he had left in his account.

"Freaking hell!" Victor exclaimed loudly. He knew the system wanted to reclaim the money, but he didn't expect it to happen so soon.

"What's wrong?" Esther asked, her concern growing as she observed Victor's distress.

Victor looked at her and replied, "Nothing, it's nothing." Esther could still sense that something was bothering him, but if he said it was nothing, she decided not to press further.

Stephen approached their table with a blue file in hand and placed it in front of Victor. "Here are the shares. You can sign them now; they are officially yours," Stephen said, offering a warm smile.

Victor smirked, remembering that he now owned shares in the hotel, and the money was technically his own. Even after he completed his mission, the money in the hotel would remain untouched. However, he needed to secure a delivery job as soon as possible.

"Thanks, Stephen," Victor said, shaking Stephen's hand as he walked away.

"You now own a share in the hotel. Congratulations," Esther congratulated him, sipping her wine.

"Thank you," he replied with a smile.

Although he now had the share certificates in his hands, multiple thoughts swirled in Victor's mind. He contemplated discussing his need for a job with Esther, who appeared to be wealthy and influential.

"Esther, can I talk to you about something?" Victor asked softly, locking his eyes onto hers.

"Go ahead, what is it?" Esther responded.

"You know, I lost my job earlier today, and I kind of need to find another job, but I don't have the qualifications for a high-paying position. So, I don't know if you could help me secure a job, maybe something like a delivery job or a cleaning job, something along those lines," he explained calmly. He didn't want to be too direct about the type of job he was seeking, hoping not to arouse Esther's suspicions.

"Wait, what kind of job were you doing before, and didn't you just buy shares worth more than a million dollars in this hotel? Why would you be looking for another job? What's going on? I need you to make everything make sense to me," Esther demanded, rising from her seat with a puzzled expression.
