[Progress: 10%… 25%… 45%… 55%…72%…85%… 93%… 99%… 100%][Skill Copy complete][Installing skill ‘Fashion Taste’ into Mr. Alexander Curry][Progress: 5%… 12%… 21%… 30%… 42%… 54%… 67%… 72%… 79%… 88%… 95%… 100%][Installation complete][Skill ‘Fashion Taste’ acquired][Congratulations on your new skill, Mr. Alexander]Alexander covered his mouth with his hand and smirked discreetly at the message from the system that only he could see.Now that he had gained a better understanding of fashion and a sense of style, Alexander took a quick look at all the outfits in the store around him and instantly, he could tell why they were paired the way they were.Because Laura had been the one who paired most of them and he had gotten his sense of style from her, to him, the pairing she had done seemed like the best one.Thanks to the skill, Alexander could also see some more combinations that could be made and every single one of them was impressive.Focusing on the message from the system once more,
Alexander returned to The Sam’s Hotel and what, at that point, had become a custom, he parked by the entrance, I’m front of the two valets he was acquainted to. “Welcome back sir!” both Valets greeted him enthusiastically, bowing their heads as he came out of the car. “Thank you” Alexander responded then walked over to the both of them.He dangled the key in front of their faces and asked “Which one of you is it this time?”Alexander, who didn’t want to hear the same argument that took place the day before, had assumed that both valets would have created a system amongst themselves, detailing who gets to drive the car whenever he gave them the key.A system that went along the lines of one of them becoming in charge of parking the car and the other automatically being in charge of getting it from the parking lot and taking it to Alexander whenever he wanted to go out. He wondered what their reply was going to be, considering the fact that one of them had already driven the car that
“How many days do you think you’re staying for sir?” She asked.“For now, just two days. It could become longer again, but I’ll have to wait and see” Alexander saidTessa nodded, saying “So a one-day extension. Got it”“Yes. A one-day extension” Alexander replied.Because Tessa was booking him in all over again instead of continuing his booking of the day before, his two-day extension had now become a one-day booking and another one-day extension.“Okay sir, everything is set,” Tessa said as she kept the pen on the record and closed it.“Thank you,” Alexander replied then raised and dropped his duffle bag on the counter.“The amount for the two days is forty thousand dollars, right?” Alexander asked, already unzipping the bag and starting to bring out the money one stack at a time.“That’s right sir. Forty thousand dollars, but I have a little good news”Alexander paused and grimaced after bringing out just five stacks.“Good news?” He asked, confused about how good news could come fr
Tessa looked longingly at the bundle of money in her hand then she gulped. She really wanted to keep the tip. Who wouldn’t when the amount was a whopping one thousand dollars which was half of what she makes a week working her current job? “I’m waiting,” Alexander said.Just then, the big hand of the counter clock hit twelve, lining up with the small hand already there and the inbuilt alarm, which informs when a whole hour had passed, went off.Alexander looked at the counter clock when he heard the alarm and thought ‘Looks like noon just hit.’He chuckled, thinking about how he had made it to the hotel in time and with enough to spare to get his new booking and extension completed before the deadline even reached.‘All that’s left is—‘ Alexander thought but then was interrupted when Tessa stretched the bundle of money back to him.“Sorry sir but I can’t keep this. I don’t want to break the hotel’s policy so please have it back” She said and Alexander was taken aback. After their i
Alexander got within a couple of feet of the stairwell’s entrance and right beside it was a trash can.“Just what I was looking for,” Alexander said to himself, smiling as he raised the bundle of cash in his hand to his face.“Hey system, activate the Possession Transference Skill”[As you wish Mr. Alexander][Skill ‘Possession Transference’ activated][What possession would you like to transfer and who whom, Mr. Alexander?]Alexander stopped at the trash can.“Before I say what and who, can you put a delay on when the transference takes effect?” Alexander asked.[That is within the parameters of my capabilities][Once the transference begins and gets close to completion, the process will undergo a pause and continue whenever Mr. Alexander chooses]Alexander smirked.“Good to know. Now, what I want to transfer is this one thousand dollar bundle in my hand and the person I want to receive ownership is the Sam’s Hotel receptionist Tessa. I don’t know her last name but that description s
Alexander was going to make sure that he did better than even the kids applying for scholarships and with that mindset, he bought all the books he needed for his preparation and put them in one folder.By the time he was done, he had more than fifteen books to study, all combined into hundreds of thousands of words, thousands of pages, hundreds of formulas, and diagrams.Alexander, feeling a bit overwhelmed after realizing the workload, took a deep breath and exhaled a very long and drawn-out exhale through his mouth.“I’m going to have to increase my intellect points, and with that my recall ability, way more than what it currently is if I want to be able to tackle this,” Alexander said and then grinned.“It’s time to become a genius.” He cleared his throat.“Hey System,” he said and the system came on.[Yes, Mr. Alexander?]“I need you now”[That’s great to hear, being needed I mean.] the system replied, sounding like it had been feeling lonely until he woke it.[What can I be of he
Alexander placed a hand on his stomach and chuckled.“I could eat a whole cow from how much this thing is grumbling,” Alexander said and his stomach grumbled even more ferociously.He covered his mouth and yawned, which was a sign of both fatigue and hunger.“I was so focused on reading that I didn’t even notice how much time had passed and now I’m super hungry because of it,” he said as he patted his stomach like it was a child.The reason why he was so hungry was because the act of reading causes brain activity to be more than usual, thereby increasing glucose usage, even though nothing strenuous was carried out.The usage of glucose leads to a drop in blood sugar levels which in turn makes someone more hungry than their usual capacity.This was why people oftentimes have a little snack to munch on when studying. “Now that I think about it, I’m not sure if I’ve ever focused that much on reading a book before. Is hyper-focus an unintended side effect of increasing my intellect and I
[All systems fully operational]Alexander’s eyebrows raised. “Welcome back system. That was a lot less than what I was expecting but I guess it was a good thing. Anyway, what did you find during your analysis?”[Mr. Alexander was right.][My evolution began when you received the intellect skill and used the stat points on it][I had been going through changes since then, developing a sense of self, and you only noticed when I had evolved enough to show the difference between how I was before and when you noticed a couple of hours ago]Alexander walked over to the bed and began to take off his shirt.“I guess that’s what happened,” he said then dropped the shirt on the bed and started taking off the pants.[How did Mr. Alexander know that it was his intellect skill that caused my evolution?]Completely naked, Alexander looked at the message from the system.“That’s because you went through a massive evolution after I used the stat points on intellect again.” He said then started headi
Alexander went back to WhatzApp where he continued chatting with Winifred until she said that she had to go offline because her teacher just walked into the class and she would talk to him later. The chat ended which was good because Alexander was starting to get tired as he wasn’t someone who liked chatting all that much. After that, Alexander looked at his phone, from front to back, and groaned. “Why haven’t I upgraded this yet?” He asked himself as he looked at the phone with disgust. How could he be using such an old model when he had hundreds of millions of dollars in his account? It was unbecoming and disgraceful. “Alright, I guess I know what to do today,” Alexander said then he dropped the phone on the bed and went to take a shower. After a couple of minutes, he came out of the bathroom fully dried, put on what he would wear for his outing then he took the phone from the bed and went out of the house. He got into his car and got ready to drive off, but first, he need
If he wasn’t able to read at an incredible pace thanks to his heightened intellect, he wouldn’t have been able to finish reading the second message because she deleted it less than a second after he received it.She sent the message again some seconds later and the second sentence was gone.[If you are then it’s kind of late, don’t you think?]Alexander chuckled because the deleted message showed that the girl had eavesdropped on his conversation with her father because she shouldn’t have known that he was done with high school and was waiting to go to college.She knew this which was why she deleted it, hoping that he didn’t see the message. Unfortunately for her, he did, and she couldn’t ask if he did because it would be awkward, so she just hoped and wanted to move on.He replied [Yeah, I know] pretending like he didn’t see the message she deleted.He also messaged that he wanted to save her number so she should give him a minute. [Okay but hurry up so we can continue talking][No
After eating so much food and satisfying his hunger, Alexander slept like a log and because he had nothing to do the following day, the System didn’t bother to wake him up. Within the time that he slept, his body changed a little, adapting to the ten stat points he was awarded after accomplishing his last mission, and a good portion of the food he ate was used for that which was why he wasn’t bloated after gobbling up all those many dishes.The next morning came and Alexander continued to sleep, not hearing when his alarm rang until it stopped.A couple of minutes passed and the alarm rang again but still, he wasn’t able to hear it until it stopped.Between the second time the alarm rang and the next time it would ring again— after snoozing— Alexander received a notification on his phone.It was a message, two actually, but Alexander still wasn’t able to hear them because of how deep in sleep he was until, finally, the next alarm that rang woke him up.{“Good morning, Mister Alexande
Afterward, Alexander, Mr. Terrence, and Mrs. Terrence sat in the living room and talked business while Winifred was told to go to her room. The girl pretended to do that, but she sat by the stairs and listened to the entire meeting. Her reason for doing that was because she wanted to know when the meeting would be over. She knew that Alexander would leave immediately after the meeting was done and she wanted to see him before he did. A couple of minutes later and the meeting came to an end. “Since we’re done discussing everything we have to for today, I guess it’s about time I take my leave,” Alexander said as he stood up from the couch. “Of course. Please allow us to escort you to your car” Mr. Terrence said as he and his wife stood up as well.“Thank you” Alexander smiled.“Wait, Winifred hasn’t said goodbye to him yet,” Mrs. Terrence said.“What?” Mr. Terrence grimaced. “It was her idea to invite Alexander over for dinner which resulted in this wonderful meeting taking place,
After the Possession System had transferred all of Mr. Ferguson’s properties and net worth to him, it had also replaced his name and face in all proof of ownership to Alexander’s and that includes blog articles and documentation of the matter.The Possession System had also covered a veil on everyone’s minds that made them forget that Mr. Ferguson used to be the rightful owner of everything that used to be his and replaced it with Alexander if they ever tried to look up the information.The veil also made inconsistencies in the altered proof of ownership redundant, meaning that anyone who checked the information wouldn’t think twice after seeing that the casino which had been active for longer than Alexander had been alive was somehow founded by him and one other person.In essence, whenever they saw or read anything that used to have Mr. Ferguson’s name and face as the owner of things, they would see Alexander’s which is exactly what happened when Mr. Terrence quickly reached for his
“It’s fine, honey. Alexander is our guest so I don’t see why we can’t break certain eating habits to accommodate him” Mr. Terrence said and his wife groaned. Again, she suspected her husband and his intention for permitting the invite she gave Alexander to come eat with them.Still, she kept quiet and just let things play out.“Well, I’d like to increase the number the estates I’ve built from the cities we’re occupying to other cities in other states as well, creating like a housing franchise. While I’m doing that, I’ve been thinking of entering into other business ventures that’ll be more profitable in the long run” Mr. Terence said and Alexander groaned. “Other business ventures, huh? Which ones do you have in mind?” Alexander asked. Mr. Terrence cleared his throat because he didn’t know how Alexander was going to take what he was about to say.“Well, I was thinking of getting into ventures like the casino business but things like that are quite challenging. You’d need someone wh
“Thank you, Missus Terrence, and don’t mind if I do,” Alexander said then asked Winifred to help him with one of the bowls so he could dish more food for himself. As she gave Alexander the bowl and he started dishing for himself, Mr. Terrence asked “So, Alexander, as I was saying before I was painfully interrupted…”Mrs. Terrence rolled her eyes again while having a smile on her face.“What’s your basketball experience?” Mr. Terrence asked as Alexander gave the bowl back to Winifred to keep while asking her to give him another bowl. “I’ve never played the game before. As a matter of fact, I’ve never been on the court or held the ball before” Alexander replied and Mr. Terrence’s eyes widened.“What about high school? Didn’t your high school have basketball as one of the sports the students played? Surely you got curious about shooting at the hoop at least once or twice” Mr. Terrence said.“Yes, we did have a basketball court as well as other games but I never really got to play” Ale
Both ladies were looking very beautiful. Though Winifred was young and still growing into her looks, she was very beautiful and had an innocent look to her which would make any man’s heart melt. As for Mrs. Terrence, she was the evidence of what the young girl had to look forward to when she was her age. Her face and body were excellently crafted by her creator. “What are you guys talking about?” Mrs. Terrence asked and both Alexander and her husband looked at her and Winifred. “I was just getting to know Alexander a little better is all. Isn’t that right, Alexander?” Mr. Terrence asked and they all looked at Alexander. “That’s right. Mr. Terrence and I were just talking about how I grew up and all. Nothing too serious” Mrs. Terrence looked at her husband suspiciously for a moment. Like Alexander, she too had a feeling that there was a motive behind why he agreed to the dinner invitation but she didn’t think as far as Alexander did to realize the truth so she let it go. “Alrig
“I’m very observant, remember? I could smell your intentions behind asking me all those questions from a mile away” Alexander said and Mr. Terrence groaned as he furrowed his eyebrows.“My intentions?” The man of the house asked.“That’s right. I’m not a father, but if I were, especially a father to a girl child, I wouldn’t just allow a stranger of my stature and build to come into my house just because my daughter wanted to invite them. Knowing how good of a businessman you must be to have what you do, you wouldn’t make such a reckless decision which leaves me to think that the reason why you allowed my invitation to pass is because you wanted to know what type of person you new tenant is, so this is basically a business move disguised as a caring father act” Alexander said and Mr. Terrence kept quiet to listen to the rest of what the young multimillionaire was going to say. “Because it isn’t normal for a person my age to have the amount of money to rent a place here or drive the ki
