"You have done a good job, host. The creators are glad about your achievement and have granted you a boost in your rewards.""Rewards are already being calculated.""Sending you back to the real world in 5, 4... 0."Immediately after that, Ethan found himself in his room.He looked around and saw that everything remained the same. He checked his phone and noticed a ton of missed calls, reaching one thousand plus.He let out a sigh and scrolled down to look at the caller IDs and names. Most of them weren't even from this country; they were from bigger countries like the USA, Russia, Ukraine, and many more.But Ethan was too mentally tired to focus on those now. He took off his clothes, revealing his exquisite body build, and then rushed to have a shower and change into a set of night clothes since it was nighttime.The excitement was still wrapped around his head when the system started revealing the rewards he got from the mission.[Congratulations, you earned 999 Trillion dollars.][
Owen Penber wasn't dead! It was shocking that the whole world confirmed his death, and his loved ones mourned him openly, but it turns out life was only preparing them for a short twist ahead."Sir, it was confirmed by a doctor that Owen Penber was only in a state of Coma and wasn't responding to everything around him because of that; the doctor is not certified yet and his certificate was doubtful; nevertheless, the USA never wanted that to slide; they helped the doctor and took Owen Penber back to the USA three weeks ago; nevertheless, two weeks ago, he came back to Luxuria to clear the news on his neck; he claimed that he was never involved in anything in the video."Ethan listened attentively. It turns out that after that mission, he would be greeted with the troublesome return of a formidable foe."Hmm, what about my departure? What story did you use?""Sir, we told the press you left for Germany for a business meeting and would spend sometime there. George Silverlight helped us
It was a busy Monday for all business firms in the world. It's always a day when the workload in each business firm increases because of the short weekend break, which is mostly spent by the staff taking care of themselves, although most of them don't spend it.Today marks three days since Ethan returned from the mission he spent a lot of time completing. It also marks the second week that Owen Penber has spent in Luxuria after his resurrection, or whatever happened to him.In a big building, Owen Penber could be seen standing on the roof. He looked just the same as before, but this time, there were noticeable changes in his body.He had no smile on his face and was holding a cigarette. He placed the cigarette in his mouth, took it out, and then slightly lifted his head towards the sky to let out a long puff. Afterward, he placed the cigarette in his mouth again and held it for a long time, looking behind him and seeing a group of staff watching him keenly.After his death and his sur
Lawrence let out a sigh to clear his mind before walking into the office. He had already waited in front of the door for over two minutes. When he opened the door, he was immediately greeted with a cloud of cigarette smoke.He was a spendthrift, but he wasn't a smoker. The smoke invaded his lungs and made him cough. He placed his hands on his chest when it began to ache a little bit after the cough. Only after his lungs returned to their normal state did he greet Owen Penber.'Damn, this is not the normal type of cigarette, this one is harsher,' he thought to himself and took the seat facing Owen Penber.Owen Penber was looking at him with no ounce of emotion in his eyes, it was more like getting stared down by a doll.Lawrence shivered when those eyes refused to leave his body for a second."Heya." Owen Penber suddenly spoke and acted oddly, he stood up abruptly and stretched his hands out for a handshake."Holy cow!' Lawrence cussed out loud, he was so shocked by the abrupt action t
Ethan's Office..."Sir, we finally made a profit after a sale," Bridget opened the door and showed him the business chart from the previous day, indicating a profit of over ten million."Good, very good. Keep up the good work. By the way I'll be going on a trip to the USA tomorrow to meet someone very important. You will have to take care of the business and I expect a good job," Ethan said and handed back the chart and informing her of his departure scheduled for tomorrow.When she heard this, her facial expression saddened. She thought about what happened the last time and became a little bit afraid."I'll do my best, sir," she replied, bowing slightly before leaving the office.After she left, Ethan opened his system window and clicked on the lab tab. Immediately, a portal appeared in his office, leading to the lab.He walked into the lab and was greeted with a splendid view. His golems were working diligently, producing lots of healing elixir. Five golems were focused on producing
Ethan was overly focused on his phone. He had been too engrossed in business and world travel, to the point that he almost forgot the pleasure derived from playing video games.The headset was a perfect fit, and the sound output was excellent; each sound effect resounded in his ears, drawing him deeper into the video game he was playing.In the game, he controlled a large plane as the virtual driver, and seven missiles were aimed at the plane. He had to use special skills to maneuver the plane and ensure that no passengers were hurt.However, his ears picked up a different sound from the one playing in the headset. His eyes glowed menacingly, and he immediately took off the headset and placed it beside him.He looked at the cockpit and saw a frightened pilot; the copilot was already crying and hitting his head on the cockpit out of fear."Keep the plane steady, don't make any moves," he instructed them."Sir, we are going to die!" the pilot and copilot yelled fearfully.Both of them c
"Sir Ethan, sorry for us freaking out right there. We are such bad pilots who couldn't even care for the life of our passenger. We deserve whatever reviews you give to us." The pilot and copilot knelt and pleaded with Ethan immediately after landing.Ethan shook his head, "I won't be so petty as to give bad reviews. Pilot or no pilot, you have a life to live, and your life is precious. No one will sit tight when death is so close, but you have to learn from this not to judge a situation so quickly. Even if it's death coming, as a pilot, take opportunities even if you know they might fail. Those who make it big in the business world have a 90% chance of losing and a 10% chance of winning."Ethan gave them a short lesson, though he is aware they would act the same if the same situation repeats itself.He waved at the pilot and told them he has forgiven them already. Really, he had no grudges.The pilots thanked him, then he walked out of the plane. A group of suited men was already stan
As the dice came to a stop, everyone's attention was fixed on the outcome. The number on the dice was a 5, not the 3 that Ethan had bet on. The excitement in the crowd turned into hushed murmurs, and a disappointed look flickered across Ethan's face.It wasn't because he lost, no. He was too big to feel disappointed for such a loss; he noticed something fishy in the way Quadrireme played.Quadrireme smiled apologetically. "Hard luck, sir. It seems Lady Luck wasn't on your side this time."Ethan took a deep breath, still maintaining his calm composure. "It happens. That's the nature of gambling.""So, Mister, are you still interested?" Quadrireme asked with a smile, his girly voice almost sounding peaceful and annoying at the same time. It was like the singing of a bird in the middle of the night.Ethan brought out his card. "I want ten million worth of chips."He declared in a very calm voice, Quadrireme was shocked, but he replaced his shock with a smile and sent for the lady in charg
