"Where am I?"
Asher's eyes opened, greeted by white walls. He looked left, noticing a heart rate monitor beeping steadily, a sterile scent lingering, and the soft hum of medical equipment. Nurses in scrubs hurried past the half-open door, and distant conversations echoed, confirming his suspicion – he was in a hospital room."How did I get here?" he asked himself.The last thing he recalled was the heartbreaking scene at his workplace – losing both his girlfriend and job on the same day. How bad could his life be?Soon, a nurse rushed into the room upon noticing Asher was up. She was a blonde-haired lady with a nice figure, dressed in a neat, pretty nurse uniform."How are you feeling?" she asked, checking the heart rate monitor."I feel alright. But how did I get here? Who brought me here?" he inquired."A kind old man brought you here and paid all the bills for you. You don't have to worry about the payment. Just get healed quickly," she smiled."Old man, did he tell you his name or anything?""No, now that you ask, he didn't actually say his name. He said you might know who he is when you wake up, but he mentioned something. He said you should take good care of the necklace.""Wait, necklace." Asher recalled the necklace was around his neck when he was thrown out of work."Did you see any necklace? I'm sure it was on me before I fainted.""Sorry, you weren't wearing any necklace when he brought you here. Also, you shouldn't stress yourself this much and instead focus on healing. I'll ask the cleaners to search around for it later."While she spoke, Asher noticed a holographic window appearing in front of his eyes.[[ Billionaire God System Online ]][[ Welcome Host ]][[ Welcome Back ]]He observed it weirdly and cleaned his eyes thoroughly. What was this in front of him? Was he dreaming?"What is wrong, sir?" the nurse asked."Nothing, it is just this hologram in front of my eyes.""What holograph, sir?""This one, the one right here. Over here, it is floating around me.""Sir, please lay down and sleep. The stress must be affecting your head. I will go on and inform the doctor but do well to rest a little."'Wait, she can't see it. Does that mean I'm the only one seeing this, or am I going mental?'[[ No Host, you aren't going mental. Only you can See, Hear, and Interact with the system ]]This time, a strange robotic voice accompanied the holograph.'You are a system, like those strange entities helping characters in novels? Are you sure I'm not dreaming? Systems only exist in fictions.'[[ Yes, we are exactly like those Systems you speak about, only difference being that you own this system and it is real ]]'What can you do for me, then? This world isn't a magic world with monsters, and I am just a normal human with below-average luck in work and women.'[[ The Billionaire God System is here to Help Host become the Billionaire God of this world.

Also, what kind of mission would he get?[[ DING! ]][[ TESTING MISSION HAS APPEARED ]][[ MISSION: Answer the following questions ]][[ Question 1: Who is the richest man in your country? ]][[ Question 2: Who is the most followed superstar in your country? ]][[ Question 3: There are 20 Cows in a field and 15 ate Roasted Chicken. How many cows didn't eat? ]][[ Rewards: 1/3 correct: $100k 2/3 correct: $500k 3/3 correct: $1M ]][[ Penalty: You will be cursed with bad luck for 72 Hours ]]Asher stared at the System. What were these cheap questions? Kids in kindergarten could answer them correctly.'Is this a joke?'[[ No, it is a testing mission ]]Asher stared at the system for a few seconds and began answering the questions verbally."The richest man in Astoria is William D. Astorian...""The most followed superstar is Vivienne Ashford...""For number 3, cows don't eat chicken, so none of them are..."The answers were too simple that he didn't even have to crack his brain for an answer.[[ BRAVO!! MISSION COMPLETED ]][[ You got 3/3 correct ]][[ One million dollars have been transferred to your bank account ]]Asher didn't believe it; he was still unsure if he was drunk or just seeing things he wasn't supposed to see.However, he felt a vibration on the cupboard beside the bed. It was his phone. He quickly stretched his hands to grab the phone."I'm sure it is a notification from customer service; it happens a lot. There is no way it would be money... Wait, no way!"⟨⟨ Notification: Your account (XXXX-8765) has been credited with $1,000,000 from sender XX-999.

The nurse, a kind lady, bought a new set of clothes for him to change into.Boarding a taxi back home, Asher was deep in thought about the mysterious entity in his possession. A yellow-black taxi stopped in front of a small bungalow, and a young handsome man with fluffy black hair and crystal blue eyes walked out, dressed plainly. It was none other than Asher; he paid the driver, and the taxi drove off immediately.Nevertheless, he was greeted with a troublesome scene. Catherine was packing his clothes and throwing them on the ground."Catherine!" He called her name angrily. This woman had no pity at all, breaking his heart and throwing his things away. How much would she prove she hated him?"So you're back? I guess you must have gone to visit one of your side chicks to beg for money as usual. Not like I care what you do outside; that won't stop me from throwing your things away." She scoffed, to
Brighton and Catherine were surprised by his change of attitude; he was definitely depressed and trying to act differently. They didn't even care."See you at work tomorrow," Brighton stomped his feet, and they left."See you guys too."After waving at them with a smile, he walked inside and waited for the system to boot completely.[[ Booting completed ]][[ The system has merged with your world and would now prepare a grand scheme to make you take over the world.

'Why did they call me a thief? What kind of rumor is going around about me at the office?? What have those two done?' He yelled inwardly, subconsciously drawn away from what happened around him."Are you deaf!!" The two guards yelled, dragging him out of his daze."See, you two, how about we make a deal?""We don't make deals with losers?? Turn around and leave!!""What if there is money involved?""Money, you don't even have money to get yourself clothes and here you are, talking about making a deal with money."Asher only smiled wryly, "I will give you guys one hundred dollars each, and you will let me in.""One hundred dollars? Are you going to steal? I'm sure it's impossible to find something valuable in someone like you."Asher smiled and whipped out a bundle of cash, "See, 1 thousand dollars, and I'll give you guys 10% each of this money. It is more than the tip you will ever make in a day."The two guards stared at each other; this money was indeed big. Although in the eyes of
Asher has only had this system for less than two days, yet he has already studied its structure and planned to leverage it to his advantage.Just now, he could have easily slapped the money on the face of the disrespectful employee and Brighton, but he held back, knowing that the system would trigger a quest with a rewarding outcome."Asher, you're a thief, you deserve to be in jail. Once the boss sees you tomorrow, he'll hand you over to the cops, poor..." Brighton spat out nonsense."Brighton, shut up," Asher retorted.Silence followed his retort.The employee was beyond surprised, "Are you out of your mind? A thief is talking to someone in high class with so much boldness. Do you want to die?"Asher scoffed, "It is you who wants to die, you also want to lose your job.""Lose my job? How? Because of a thief like you who wants to scam this hotel? I would get a raise; this hotel would give me a raise for this because I prevented a loss.""Shut up, disrespectful b*tch. Tell me the pric
"Welcome to Gold Lush Hotel's highest premium membership," Ariana smiled kindly and extended her hand for a handshake.Just moments ago, when she walked down, she was mentally stressed from the paperwork she went through upstairs. When she saw Asher, she thought he was here to ask for a job and later learned he was actually trying to scam.She could have blasted her lungs out and sent guards to chase him out, but she professionally decided against it and acted kindly. She even promised to give him the lowest-cost room, which she was willing to pay from her pocket money. Turns out, she was wrong about him."Nice doing business with you. When will I be getting the black card?"To Asher, Ariana was a kind lady. She knew he would be poor because of his clothes but didn't insult him. Such people deserve higher pay and recognition.Ariana smiled, "We will get it done immediately. Give me your full name and your ID card."Brighton stood in a corner, short of words. This thief had his way aro
Prime-M is part of the top ten busiest business groups in Larian City. They have only been around for less than two years, but due to their consistency and good work ethics, they've climbed the business ladder without help from big families.Inside, at an office on the 3rd floor, Asher, dressed in plain clothes, stood in front of a middle-aged man with ponytail black hair. He is the boss of Prime-M, Jaden Owen."Asher, you've been a good worker for this company. Your work ethic was perfect, and I received no complaints from any customer that did business with you in the past. But why is everything changing? Why did you steal one million dollars from the company?" Jaden Owen asked with a calm look on his face.Although there were rumors that Asher stole the money, Jaden didn't believe it, as he didn't even trust the person who brought the rumors. In fact, that person was standing beside Asher – Catherine, dressed in a fine blue dress revealing a large part of her cleavage, and Brighton
At another office in Prime-M. "Two days ago, Asher was sacked, around what time was he sacked and how did it happen?" "Oh, that? Well, Asher pissed off Brighton by disrupting his session with Catherine and out of anger under a false pretense of carrying out responsibility, he fired Asher." "Oh, so what you are trying to say is that Asher didn't deserve to be fired?" "Yup, but you didn't hear this from me, I don't want to lost my job." Two pretty ladies in suits discussed. After the discussion, the one asking the questions left the room and went outside to meet two police officers, Jaden, Asher, Catherine and Brighton. Jaden looked at Jaden and Catherine, "So this is what you really did? We have asked seven workers already and they all said the same thing." Brighton head was bowed, he couldn't reply. But Asher kept a confident smile, he already knew who stole the money but he was only bringing up this scheme in order for them to find out themselves. Last night, while at the ho
Jaden looked at the two of them for an extra two minutes, shook his head, and then turned to Asher with an apologetic look on his face."Asher, sorry for the false accusation laid on you. As you can see, it was all false rumors.""No need, I have already forgotten about this from the beginning. How can I be angry when some dumbass made the whole thing up to disgrace me and make you hate me so much not to give me back the job?""About the job, Asher, I have studied your working pattern for the past few days. Your work ethic is good, so I have decided to promote you to the position of office manager; you will be taking over from Catherine."Catherine's eyes widened, "Boss, I'm sorry if I have erred against you, but that position is my life."Brighton chimed in, "Boss Jaden, Catherine does a better job than Asher."Jaden shook his head, "Brighton, I have changed my mind. Asher would be taking over your position as well."Hearing this, Brighton's knees weakened, his eyes turned red with s
