“Three million dollars? My thirty merit points turned into three million freaking dollars?! What the hell?!” Alexander said in disbelief.
His hand was on his head, staring with widened eyes at the message that only he could see.If it wasn’t for the fact that the system had made him do the impossible just minutes ago; taking people’s vitality, strength, and memory for himself, he would have doubted his newfound wealth.“So you’re telling me that I’m a multimillionaire all of a sudden? A fucking multimillionaire? I was broke only a couple minutes ago, got beaten by that bastard Fredrick because I went behind his back to write that entrance exam, looking to get a scholarship into college and now you’re telling me that I’m amongst the top one percent of people in this country and it’s not a dream?” Alexander rambled, talking to the system.[THAT IS CORRECT. EACH MERIT POINT IS EQUIVALENT TO $100,00 AND SO CONVERTING THE TOTAL OF THIRTY THAT USED TO BE AVAILABLE EARNED MR. ALEXANDER CURRY THE BALANCE OF $3,000,000.][PLEASE USE THE MONEY AS YOU SO WISH, MR. ALEXANDER CURRY FOR MORE IS TO COME THE MORE ENTERTAINMENT IS PROVIDED TO THE GODS OF VENGEANCE AND POSSESSIONS]After seeing the system’s reply, Alexander started laughing.He pumped both fists into the air and yelled “I’m fucking rich!”, repeating the same phrase and action of pumping his fists into the air a few more times before he noticed bystanders at the other side of the road looking at him like he was crazy.They looked at him like he was dangerous, murmuring about if he had escaped from the hospital.Not wanting to be involved with him, they increased how fast they walked so that they could leave the area quickly.Realizing how weird he was acting, Alexander chuckled, dropped his hands, and rubbed the back of his head embarrassedly.“I shouldn’t get too excited and draw unwanted attention to myself. After all, I’m the only one who can see and hear the message from the system so people looking at me will just think I’ve lost it. Can’t have people thinking I’ve gone crazy now can I?” Alexander said then sighed as he composed himself.Just then, staring at the message and focusing on the three million dollars boldly written on the display, a wicked smile crept its way on Alexander’s face as he thought about everything thus far.He clenched his fist and said “Strength, memory, and now money. With this system, everything I’ve ever wanted and will want will belong to me and there’s nothing and nobody that’ll stand in my way”[THE GODS OF VENGEANCE AND POSSESSIONS ARE EAGER TO KNOW WHAT MR. ALEXANDER CURRY’S NEXT MOVE IS GOING TO BE?]Alexander looked at the message, smirked then said “I know that the two want me to get my revenge, especially you, the God of Vengeance, but first, I’m going to get as much money as I can get and as quickly as I can get it. For that, I’m going to go to the only place where quick money is the norm”Alexander took a little pause and then said “The casino”Alexander had already planned everything he would need to do to get more money from the casino and with that, he was ready to leave.He brought out his phone and went to the Uber app then booked for one of the drivers to take him to the biggest and most influential casinos in town.Once that was done, Alexander who couldn’t get the thought of being a multimillionaire, and as such still had a proud smirk on his face, went off the Uber app and went into his bank statement to check his balance once more. However, what he saw shocked him.“Five dollars? I only have five dollars in this thing? What the hell? Wait, am I not supposed to have three million dollars waiting for me to use? What’s going on?” Alexander asked himself, frowning as he stared at his screen.Angry and confused, he looked at the popup message from the system in front of him and asked:“Hey system, what’s the meaning of this? What happened to the money you said was mine? Why isn’t my three million dollars showing in my bank statement?”[THAT’S BECAUSE MR. ALEXANDER CURRY HAS YET TO WITHDRAW THE MONEY INTO HIS BANK ACCOUNT]“Oh,” Alexander muttered, disappointed in himself for not thinking about that.“I didn’t know I had to withdraw the money into my actual bank first before the money would reflect. I thought it would just reflect the moment I did the conversion” he said.[THAT IS BECAUSE WITH THE CONVERTED MONEY, MR. ALEXANDER CURRY COULD STILL BUY STAT POINTS AND INCREASE HIS STATS BUT IF ALL MONEY IS WITHDRAWN THEN BUYING STAT POINTS WILL BE IMPOSSIBLE. MR. ALEXANDER CURRY WILL HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL THE GODS OF VENGEANCE AND POSSESSION GIFT MORE MERIT POINTS IF HE WANTS TO INCREASE HIS STATS.]“Hmm,” Alexander grunted, placing one hand on his chin and the other on his waist.“So that means before I request withdrawal I’ll need to think if I would want to keep some money to buy stat points or not. Hmm, with one hundred thousand dollars equating to one merit point and one merit point equating to two stat points, the maths shouldn’t be that hard”With the hand that was on his chin, Alexander started to bite his thumbnail.“I won’t be needing any stat points for now and I need as much money as possible for what I’m about to do so I guess it’s decided,” Alexander said to himself then took in a deep breath and sighed.“Alright system. Transfer the entire three million dollars to my bank account” Alexander said.He then thought ‘Good thing I had created this bank account in secret when I decided to write the college entrance exam behind that bastard, Fredrick’s back. If I hadn’t, I would have needed to start going around to try and make one and that would have taken some time. Time which I can’t waste right now’[AS MR. ALEXANDER CURRY WISHES. TRANSFERRING $3,000,000 TO ******311][TRANSFER COMPLETE][BALANCE: $0]Immediately after the transfer was completed, from the phone in his hand, Alexander felt and heard the vibration of a notification.He hurriedly checked his screen and immediately his smirk returned.He had just received a message from his bank, stating that he had just been credited with three million dollars by an unknown sender and that his current account balance was $3,000,005.“Good. Now I have money to pay the Uber driver and also to use and get more money. Casino Del Monte Royale, here I come” Alexander said, squeezing his phone in victory.***Because he had ordered the express service, Alexander’s Uber arrived very quickly and parked in front of him.“Are you Mr. Alexander Curry?” The driver asked him through the rolled-down passenger seat window.“That’s right. I’m the one” Alexander replied, showing the driver his phone screen that proved he was the one who ordered the ride.“Alright. Well, the door is unlocked so you can come in” the driver said.Alexander returned his phone to his pocket, got into the back seat, and closed the door.This was his first time using an Uber service as he always went to school using the Coker Wake High School school bus. Not only did he not have any money to his name— minus that five dollars—before now, but he was never allowed to go anywhere aside from school.He had to go to school and then immediately the bell rang, return to the Dove estate where they worked him to the bone.He only had the Uber app because it came preinstalled in his phone but being the smart young multimillionaire that he was, he was able to understand the interface and use it to order this ride very quickly.“Alright, please take me to the Del Monte Royale casino” Alexander instructed.Confused as to why the young man in his back seat was telling him where to take him, the driver pointed at the tablet that was installed on the car’s dashboardThe driver said “You don’t have to tell me your destination. You already imputed the information in the app when you booked my service. See, it’s showing what route we should take right here”Looking at the dashboard tablet, Alexander chuckled nervously.Being sheltered by the Dove family, as a means of controlling him, meant that he was inexperienced with most of the basic things life had to offer and if he wasn’t careful others would start to notice.If that happened, it would be bad and dangerous for someone like him who had just come into such a huge amount of wealth, and as such Alexander tried to act normal.“My mistake, but okay. Go ahead and start the ride”The driver sighed and replied as he turned on the engine “Okay, sir”Alexander rested in his seat, feeling at peace and enjoying himself as the driver started the ride, but then, by accident, he looked in the rearview mirror and saw that the driver was looking at him in a strange way. “What is it?” Alexander asked, frowning about being stared at like that.“I don’t mean to be rude, but by any chance, are you going to visit someone or maybe someplace, and you’re using the Del Monte Royale Casino as a benchmark?”“What’s that supposed to mean?” Alexander asked, crossing his arms in dissatisfaction.He was skeptical about the meaning behind the driver’s words.“I mean, I was wondering if you inputted the Del Monte Royale Casino into the app so that I'd take you to that general location.”Alexander raised a brow. For some reason, he felt insulted, but he wasn’t sure if he was being paranoid or not.“And what if I say I’m actually going there because I plan on going into the casino and gambling? Is that a problem?” Alexander asked, his voice and demeanor s
Alexander closed the door, slammed it actually, then faced the entrance of Gustav’s emporium, which was the name of the popup shop where he wanted to buy the outfit.He started his confident stride forward when suddenly, from behind him, he heard one of the car doors open.“Hmm?” Alexander grunted, quickly taking a halt in his march to the shop. He turned around, only to see that the driver had come out of the car.“What are you doing? Why are you outside?” Alexander asked. “What? Wait, did you think I was just going to allow you to go in there by yourself?” The driver said, smiling mischievously.Alexander shrugged “And why don’t you want to do that? Do I look like I need you to hold my hand as I go in or what?” He asked, frowning slightly.The driver locked the door, walked around the car, and met up with Alexander before saying “What if you run away?”Alexander grimaced, confused about the driver’s ridiculous statement.“What if you go in there and leave through the back door? Yo
Alexander said “No use standing around and talking any further. Laura, please take us to your most expensive collection and make sure it’s something that’ll make me look like I belong to the high-class gambling world.” The driver, who still thought that Alexander was lying, smirked while Laura bowed her head in respect. “As you wish, sir. Please come this way” she said, and took the lead.All three of them went to a special area in the shop. A place that most customers have never been to because they couldn’t afford the price of the outfits there.This place was meant for the eyes of the top percentile of people in the entire country and being brought there meant that Laura had a feeling that Alexander was among those people.They all stood in front of a unique wardrobe.“What I’m about to show the two of you Sirs is a design specifically made by Mr. Gustav for a special client of his. Unfortunately, after all the work he put in, the client not only didn’t like the color, but he als
“What the hell are you doing?! How dare you slap me?!” The driver yelled, glaring at Laura while she crossed her arms.“Sorry sir, but this store has a no-touch policy for the things in this part of the building. The only way you are allowed to touch is if you can afford what you’re about to touch, because touching effectively means that you’ve bought it and, from the statement you made earlier, you definitely cannot afford this or anything else in this shop” Frowning, the driver looked at Alexander who was sliding his palm along the body of the suit and trousers and he grumbled.“But what about him?! You allowed the punk to touch it but not me?!” The driver barked.Laura momentarily looked at Alexander from over her shoulder, then she returned her gaze to the driver in front of her.“I allowed the Sir to touch it because he seemed interested in wanting to buy it” she replied.“But he can’t afford it. I mean, look at him! He’s a loser with no money to his name!” The driver retorted.
“What?!” The driver exclaimed “What do you mean the transfer was successful?! No way that’s real! You know what? Let me get a good look at that?”The driver swiftly grabbed Alexander’s phone from his hand and peered at the message.“Your transfer of three hundred and seventy thousand dollars was successful?” He read, looking and sounding extremely shocked.After staring at the evidence for some seconds and having no way to refute it, the driver became angry. He didn’t want to believe what was in front of his eyes.“No! This can’t be real! This punk must have faked this and I can prove it! This is definitely not the real bank app and this message is fake, so all I have to do is go off of this page and—huh?” The driver said, swiping up on Alexander’s phone screen and going to the minimized page where all the apps that had been opened were lined up.He saw the icon, hovering above the top left of the page he had just minimized and, indeed, it was the Martel Green Bank app that was open.
Alexander furrowed his eyebrows and tilted his head.“What do you mean by 'you allow me to be the first to see the suit because of how I look'? This driver saw the same thing you did and belittled me, but you did the complete opposite. Why?” Alexander asked.“Like I said earlier, one should never judge a book by its cover, sir. Mr. Gustav explicitly taught all his workers that lesson, but to answer your question, seeing you reminded me a lot of the client Mr. Gustav made the outfit for”, Laura said.Alexander pointed at his chest, surprised to hear what Laura had just told him.“I do?” He askedShe nodded.“That’s right. According to Mr. Gustav, when he and the client first met, he looked like someone everyone would overlook, not knowing how important he was, and what’s funny is that after him, Mr. Gustav met another valuable client who gave him the same aura. Those two made Mr. Gustav to understand that you really can’t judge a book by its cover and when I saw you, I felt the same th
Just like at the Gustav Emporium, both men came out of the car and headed into the jewelry store. This time, however, Alexander was the one who told the driver to come with him because he didn’t want to leave the man alone and risk him driving away to avoid carrying out his part of the deal.Not that it mattered now that Alexander had been given the new clause feature in his system.Because of how powerful the system was, no matter where the driver goes to hide from taking up his side of the deal, Alexander could still take whatever possession he wanted from him. With that assurance, Alexander only told the driver once to go into the jewelry shop with him and the man did as told. The reason for this is that now that the man knew just how rich Alexander was, and money also equating to power, the driver felt powerless to challenge Alexander.Alexander had completely conquered the driver, and he didn’t even have to do much except spend his own money to buy something he wanted. The syste
Unfortunately, his antics of wanting to scare Alexander were to no avail. Instead, the young man glared back at him.“I was standing here when you three came, so either wait your turn or go somewhere else. As you can see, there are other salespeople with their eyes on you. I’m not a mind reader, but clearly they want you to go meet them”, Alexander said. Jerry placed his hand on Alexander’s shoulder, trying to assert himself. The only thing he could try and intimidate Alexander with was his muscles, as their heights were almost the same. However, because of the system, that could change with time.Jerry said “Listen here, brat. The boss doesn’t wait, especially for someone like you, so this is the second and last warning you’re ever going to get from me. Go home now, or I’ll make you regret ever standing in the boss’s way.”Alexander looked at Jerry’s hand on his shoulder, then he looked at Jerry. “Let me tell you this instead. Get your hand off me if you know what’s good for you or
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
