2025-01-06 22:03:24Instantly, Aiden felt his world come crashing to the floor. Everything was over in just how many minutes.
It was not even up to an hour, yet he was doomed. First, he was fired for no reason and was also accused of stealing money he didn't know about. Then his girlfriend also broke up with him. Now his sister's health was declining rapidly. What was he going to do? How was he going to be able to pay for her treatment? No one would be willing to borrow a penniless man like him money. How was he going to do it? "Alright sir, I'll be there soon," Aiden responded and then ended the call. At the moment, he was at a dead end and didn't know what else he was going to do. The world was already against him and he had nothing else again. How was he going to survive this? [ Ding! Conditions for Activating System met "Activating System" ] A voice rang in Aiden's head before he could do anything. "Huh? What's that?" Aiden muttered and looked around, not knowing what else to do. "Activation complete, launching System." The voice rang once again. "Aren't I going to be a little bit crazy?" Aiden muttered, his gaze darting around for the source of the voice, but he couldn't find anything. There was no one around, so it meant that no one was playing a trick on him. Before Aiden could think too much, the voice sounded again. "Launching System." "Welcome to the Empire Building System. Dedicated to creating the largest Empire ever seen." [ Numbers of Empire owned: 0 Number of companies Owned: 0 Rank in the World riches: 12233....... A series of numbers appeared and Aiden didn't even dare to read it. Rank in Alvoria Riches: 1,234,447,363,636,363th Rank in Oakridge: No Rank, definitely a pauper. ] Aiden froze, not Knowing what to do. What the heck was this? He had to be dreaming, there was no way this was real. Raising his hand, Aiden hit himself, he believed he was in a bad dream and thus wanted to wake up. "Ouch!" He yelped as he realized that it was real. He was not dreaming. Looking back at the transparent screen in front of him, Aiden didn't know what to do and just stared blankly. His heart pumped against its chest as if it were trying to find a way out of his chest at all costs. "Ding! New mission alert" The mechanical voice rang in Aiden's head, and the next moment, a screen appeared. "Be a company owner in the next twenty-four hours. Penalty: Death. The screen read and Aiden's eyes almost popped due to shock as he couldn't believe his eyes. How the heck was he supposed to buy a company when he didn't have any funds? And the penalty was even death? Though he didn't want to believe in this mysterious thing, he knew that there was nothing he could do about it; he didn't want to die yet. Many thoughts rang in Aiden's head and soon, he heard the mechanical voice again. "Ding! The host has received a hundred Million." Aiden's eyes widened in shock as he couldn't believe his ears. Hundred Million? Who the heck was this mysterious thing kidding? He was going to eat shit If that was the case. "Beep!" A loud sound suddenly jolted Aiden out of his thoughts and he looked at his phone with a frown. "Dear customer, you've received the sum of one hundred Million dollars, from account 24343xxxxx. Your account balance is now 100,000,000." The message read, and Aiden's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets due to shock as he couldn't believe his eyes. What the heck was happening? This was too good to be true. There was no way he was going to believe this. Thinking about this, Aiden looked around and saw an ATM in the distance. Without thinking, he ran forward, and with shaking hands, he inserted his card into the machine. Nervously, he pressed five thousand and the next moment, the money came out of the machine. Aiden froze looking at the money hung on the machine. His heart beating rapidly. He could feel his breath suffocating and he didn't know what to do. What the heck was happening? This was too good to be true. He had to wake up from this nightmare. There was no way he would have such an amount of money in his account. After all, he was penniless and the only money in his account was just about five hundred dollars. What the heck was happening? What was that strange thing? It called itself a system. What kind of technology was that? What should he do? Aiden wondered. All he could think of was just how he had gotten this strange stuff. Walking away from the ATM to avoid suspicion, Aiden kept the money in his pocket with trembling hands. The strange thing called itself Empire Building System. Also, it tasked him with purchasing a company. What company was he going to purchase? Who was going to sell a company to him in Oakridge City? The system had said that he was going to die if he didn't purchase a company in twenty-four hours. He was not ready to lose his life, at least not yet. This was a dangerous situation, how was he going to scale it? Aiden sighed and pushed all thoughts to the back of his mind. First, he was going to have to save his sister. Since he had the money, he would be a fool if he didn't pay for his sister's operation. Then he was going to use the rest to purchase a company. He didn't care what kind of Company it was going to be. Thinking about this, Aiden flagged down a taxi and got in heading to the hospital.

"Sir, sign here," The doctor pointed at a place on the paper asking Aiden to sign."Also here," He continued after Aiden signed the papers pointing at another spot."Thank you very much, we'll commence with the operation soon," The doctor smiled and then walked away quickly to arrange for the operation.Aiden sighed and walked to his sister's ward. Looking at the weak and skinny girl on the bed, he couldn't help but shake his head and his eyes became red."Brother." A weak voice called just as Aiden reached his sister's side."Kayla, " Aiden forced a smile holding his sister's bony hands while caressing them slowly.His sister had been sick since she was little and their parents were not rich enough to afford the operation.

Empire Building System Owning A Company
Aiden nodded and got onto the scooter and the man drove away. The man driving the scooter had a frown on his face.Though he couldn't believe that Aiden was going to have the money to buy the company, it was none of his business.He had already called the owner and told him that he had gotten a buyer.He had already been paid, so he couldn't care less if the other party was going to be able to buy the company.Soon, the two arrived at a rather magnificent building. The building looked huge and one of the most beautiful in the area.Aiden was shocked in his heart seeing this. All he thought was that the company he was about to buy was just a small company. He didn't expect the company to be this huge. What the heck was happening?He wasn't going to care anyway. All he wanted was to acquire a company.Stopping the scooter, the man alighted from it and so did Aiden.

"Host now has a company." The mechanical voice came again and Aiden couldn't help but breathe in a sigh of relief.He didn't know he was going to be able to tell the System that the company was given to him.But it seemed like that was none of the System's problem, and it just counted it directly."Host has received ten million dollars and a skill." The mechanical voice sounded again and the next moment, Aiden's phone beeped.Checking, he saw the alert of the ten million and couldn't help but smile."Skill would be uploaded into the host memory." The mechanical voice came again, and the next moment, a light screen appeared in front of Aiden reading."Skill uploading...."In front of it was a percentage bar which read 2% out of a hundred.Soon, the percentage bar got to a hundred and the mechanical voice sounded."Skill uploaded."Aiden felt a warm stream of energy flow into his head. Instantly, information poured in like a flowing stream.After a while, the stream of information stopp

"About that sir, we'll be needing quite several things." Dominic looked at Aiden, wondering how the latter would be able to revoke the court order."You should pen it down then," Aiden suggested."That'll be better." Dominic agreed, then turned to pick a pen and blank sheet."You should list everything that we need to make the company functional again," Aiden added."Alright." Dominic nodded and began to scribble on the paper.The sharp noise from the pen cut through the silence as Dominic wrote while Aiden watched."Here sir." Dominic soon finished and handed the paper to Aiden.Aiden stretched his hands and collected the paper from Dominic, his eyes scanning the entire content."I...""Ding!" The mechanical voice sounded, interrupting Aiden, who was about to say something."Complete all the necessary steps written in the paper in a month." The voice said."Host has received five hundred million dollars and a skill." The mechanical voice continued.Just like the last time, a light sc
Empire Building System Come With Me
"After we get a lawyer, he would be the one to reopen the case and then take it to Court." Dominic continued."The hardest part is where we would have to look for evidence that the company was innocent." Dominic sighed as he concluded.Aiden nodded with a smile, it seemed like this was easier than he had thought.Get a lawyer to tender back the case to the court, then look for evidence. And that was all. As long as they could convince the court they were innocent, it was going to be done.Though this sounded easy, he knew how hard it was. If he failed to find solid evidence, then that was the end of it.There was no way the court would want to listen to him again, so he had to be careful.Aiden sighed and glanced at Dominic who was staring at him and couldn't help but frown, after a while, he asked,"What's wrong, why are you staring at me that way?""Mr. Aiden, I appreciate your efforts to bring back the company, but I don't think we will be able to succeed." Dominic sighed."And who
Empire Building System Elsa's Reluctance
"I thought you were not going to come." Aiden turned to the lady who had rushed out of the company to meet him.There was a faint blush in her eyes as she stood beside him, not saying a word."Well, Mr. Dominic asked me to come, and since I work for him and you've bought the company, that would mean that I would work for you." The lady smiled.Though she was smiling, there was a hint of dissatisfaction in her eyes. After all, her thought was that Aiden was a rich second generation and even though he was dressed shabbily, she believed that it was just to trick young girls into falling into his traps.If it was not for Dominic, she wouldn't have agreed to be his assistant. However, at the moment, she didn't fully agree and just wanted to test out the latter.If he tried anything improper, she was going to have to tell Dominic and she was sure that he would know what to do, so she was not scared."What's your name?" Aiden broke the silence, turning to look at the lady."I'm Elsa." The la
Empire Building System Buying A Car
Alighting from the car, Elsa and Aiden walked into the store. Elsa's face was still squeezed, looking like she had just seen a pile of shit a few minutes ago.She was still doubting Aiden who didn't even notice the expression on her face and was lost in his thoughts on how to invite his lawyer friend to help him with this case.She had thought that he was still trying to pretend as though he didn't notice her. She already had a plan in mind."Welcome sir, Ma." A sales girl approached the two and greeted them, bowing slightly."What cars do you have?" Aiden snapped out of his thoughts, looked at the girl who seemed to be a complete newbie at the store, and asked directly."Well..." The girl was taken aback by Aiden's question and stuttered before finally replying."We have quite several brands; there's Mercedes, BMW, Toyota, and a lot more." She spoke, glancing at Aiden and then at Elsa who was by the side.Elsa rolled her eyes at the sales girl, seeing that she was staring at her, and

"I didn't expect to meet you here, Aiden." The lady sneered, stopping a few meters away from Aiden, staring at him, disgust written all over her face.Aiden's expression changed, turning around and seeing who it was. He wasn't expecting to meet Amelia here, but that's none of his business. She had already told him that they were not of the same world, so there was no need to bother about her."Here's my card, hurry up and swipe it." Aiden pretended as though he couldn't hear Amelia and turned to the sales girl, giving her his card."Didn't you hear what I just said?!" Amelia flew into a rage seeing that Aiden was ignoring her."Hurry up, please; I can't have some rabid dog barking into my ears." Aiden knitted his brows, turning to the girl, uttering with a serious expression.The sales girl gulped upon hearing this and quickly nodded. She could tell that Amelia and Aiden had some hostility, but it was none of her business. All she needed to do was just pretend as though she couldn't s

"Are you going to come in with me or are you going to wait for me in the car?" Aiden glanced at Elsa who was leaning on the seat after they got to the hospital. "Who are you planning to see?" Elsa raised her brows, staring at Aiden. "My sister," Aiden replied, opening the door of the car. "You can wait for me if you don't feel like coming along." He continued before alighting from the car. "Don't worry, I'll come along," Elsa responded quickly, alighting from the car almost immediately. Stepping into the hospital, the two were hit by the mixed smell of antiestics, drugs and all others making them scrunch their nose. In no time, they got to a VIP ward. Walking into the rather large ward, Elsa creased her brows, her eyes scanning the surroundings. Inside the ward, there was a bed; lying on the bed was a young girl, about fifteen, looking all skinny. Walking closer, Elsa stared at the girl, then at Aiden who was already sitting at the edge of the bed, holding the girl's hands. "
Try Next Time When You Rich Enough
"What do you think you're saying?" The fat man creased his brows, staring at the waiter."Sir, I'm sorry to say, but the money in your account balance is insufficient to pay for what they had just bought." The lady forced a smile as she looked at the man."How dare you say such!" The man flew into a rage not believing his ears."There's over fifty thousand dollars inside that card, and yet you're telling me there's not enough funds." The man scoffed."I'm sorry to say, but what they had bought all together is one hundred thousand dollars.""One hundred Thousand?" The man gasped, staring at Aiden and the others, disbelief written over his face as he stared at them."Yes sir." The lady smiled."They've ordered all of the restaurant's most expensive dishes, alongside some wines. Coupled with the meal they had." The lady explained."Looks like you're not rich enough to pay for her." Aiden's mocking voice sounded at this moment."Hmph!" The fat man scoffed."Do you think I don't know you j

"What do you want?" Elsa stared at the two men, displeasure written all over her face."Our young master wants you to come over." One of the men said, his voice rude, containing no respect.Elsa's expression changed upon hearing this as she couldn't believe her ears. What the heck was wrong with the other party's brain?He saw that she was not alone, and yet, he was asking her to come over to his table.Wasn't that a slap to Aiden's face? Looking over at Aiden, Elsa couldn't help but frown.Aiden was eating as though he didn't notice there were two men at their table who were trying to make her go with them.Noah, on the other hand, was staring at the two men with a frown, and she couldn't help but appreciate the latter."Hurry up, our master doesn't have the whole day?"

"So what do you want to talk about?" Noah questioned, glancing at Aiden as the waiter served the food. "I bought a company." Aiden started, studying Noah's expression as he spoke. "You bought what?" Noah's eyes opened wide, staring at Aiden in disbelief. "Shhh! Keep it down." Aiden whispered, placing a hand on his lips looking around. "How can I keep it down?" Noah rolled his eyes, ignoring Aiden. "When did you buy it?" He asked after a while. "Today," Aiden replied and then continued, "But that's not where the main problem lies." "What's the main problem?" Noah narrowed his brows, staring at Aiden, his voice finally turning serious. He was ready to help the latter no matter what. As long as it was something he could do, there was no way he was going to refuse to offer his help. "The company had a problem a few years ago, and as a result, has been closed down by the court." Aiden continued with a sigh. "For you to be able to start anything there, you'll need to get a court
Let's Squander A Few Million
"I'll call to inform you of the progress, sir," Dominic said, looking at Aiden, who got into the car alongside Elsa.It had taken him over twenty minutes to write down what Aiden had requested.The process was pretty long, and it had been years, so he found it pretty hard to remember. As a result, he was quite slow.Otherwise, he was supposed to be able to write it in ten minutes or so."Alright then, see you later." Aiden nodded getting into the car."Where are we heading to?" Elsa asked, looking over to Aiden.She felt a little bit cheated in her heart. She was the one who was supposed to relax while Aiden did the driving, yet it was the other way around."Take me to Farm City restaurant," Aiden instructed.Elsa nodded and started the car feeling a bit excited. She had always heard of the restaurant and had always looked forward to visiting it.But she didn't have enough money to do that. Even when the company was in good shape, she still wasn't able to afford a meal at the place.B
Decision
"Mr. Dominic, there are quite a few things I would like to inquire about." Aiden looked at Dominic who was still standing in front of the company."Sure, you can ask." Dominic nodded.However, he was a bit shocked to see Aiden as he wasn't expecting the latter to come back.He had just finished contacting those who would come to clean and repaint the building and was preparing to look for his old friend to replace the machine.The ones at the company would be sold out, and the money would be used by the company."Can you write down the formula of the snack that made the company go bankrupt, and also the process of how it's being produced, right from the start to the finish?" Aiden requested."Yes, sure, Mr. Aiden, but that'll take some; I'm not sure if you'll be able to wait to take it." Dominic agreed almost Immediately.As the head of the company and also a food expert, he was actively involved in the process of the snack and knew it like the back of his hand."Let's go in then, I'l

"Honey, what's wrong?" Amelia, who was about to attack Aiden once again, noticed Noah's expression."You don't need to ask, I'll tell you what's wrong with him." Aiden chuckled, knowing well what had happened."Shut up!" Amelia sneered and quickly turned to Noah."Honey, what's wrong?" She inquired, staring at Noah."Take a look at this." Noah finally responded and showed her his phone instead."Huh?" Amelia stepped back, her eyes were as though they were going to pop out of their sockets as she stared at the screen."Sir, ma'am, here's the papers, you'll sign here." The sales girl soon ran back with some papers and a big smile on her face."How much did you say the car was?" Noah finally came back to his senses and asked."It's twenty million dollars, sir." The girl replied, still nonchalant about what was happening."Are you sure about that?" Noah looked at the girl and then at the car."Yes, I am." The girl nodded."That one right there." Noah pointed at the car, his eyes like they
