The following day Aiden went to the cashier's office to pay in cash which a easy peasy process. He paid a total of $7,000 for the past and future bills. So he can fully pour his attention towards sourcing for the surgery money. Which he expects will be possible now that he has the system.
'Hey system, can't you give me more quest?'
He asked in his mind as he walked casually through the lobby which was filled with patients, nurses and other people.
[Quesy generation is only possible once every three days]
[Except for Emergency Quest generations which is random and according to the situation at the time]
Of course, there had to be some sort of restriction to all that Aiden could do with the system, if not he would defy all reasoning and skyrocket his way to being the richest in maybe a week.
Even though the system was a genuine and could really make him rich and help him have his vengeance, it was a slow and steady process. A process that first involves shaping Aiden into a man that is fit for that path.
"So how does this thing work."
Aiden said as he sat down at the bus stop. He could not speak outside seeing that there was nobody nearby.

'Now, that I think about it, when I was fighting with those high schoolers, it said something like you have received 101 bleed damages. I guess my health reduced at that time.'
Aiden rubbed his chin and looked down.

"Are these supposed to be my stat? Like my physical attributes in a numerical representation right?"
Aiden asked, looking at what the system displayed for him with disgust.
[Certainly]
[You are weak]
"Don't rub it on my face."
[You can distribute available stat points to whatever stat you wish]
"Really?"
Aiden sparkled with delight at the sound of what he heard he could increase his physical strength just by adding numbers to some certain areas on a holographic tab floating in front of him.
As unrealistic as it sounded this had come to be Aiden's reality.
"Five stats to strength stats]
[You Strength stats has increased by 5]
"Let's put three to speed and the remaining two to Intelligence..."
'Can't have me being dull.'
[Your Speed stats has increased by 3]
[Your Vitality stats has increased by 2]
He felt the subtle surge through his body and it wasn't vivid but he was sure he felt something.
"Heik heik heik..."
He let out a weird and perverted laughter as he thought about how strong he was going to be on the long run.
"The hell?"
The lady that happen to be passing by just at that moment quickened her pace with an irritated glance at Aiden who didn't even seem to care right now as he was overwhelmed by the feeling of optimism and the happiness of what his future holds.
With that great feeling after wondering for a few minutes what to do he finally had a nice idea and flung up.
After fifty minutes of drive Aiden stepped into the bustling mall, taking a deep breath as the scent of freshly brewed coffee and perfume filled his nose. The bright lights and colorful displays of clothing stores were a feast for his eyes. He rubbed his hands together in excitement, eager to find the perfect outfit.
He started off by browsing through a few stores, checking out the latest trends and styles. He found himself drawn to a store that had a sleek and modern look. The mannequins in the windows showcased the latest fashion, and he knew he had to check it out. As he walked in, he was greeted by upbeat music and a friendly sales associate. The racks were neatly organized, and he could see that they had a wide selection of clothes to choose from. He started to peruse the racks, carefully selecting items that caught his eye.
The first item he grabbed was a pair of dark denim jeans. They had a slim fit and looked like they would hug his legs perfectly. Next, he picked up a soft, gray cotton shirt that had a subtle pattern on it. He held it up to his chest, examining it closely in the mirror, with a wide smile as he looked at himself in the mirror.
'I should probably get my hair done too.'
The thought swayed through his mind briefly as he got back to the main event. He picked out the shirt and trouser for a total of $600 and went on to the department store where he found a stylish suit for $400 that fit him perfectly. He also found a few dress shirts on sale for $50 each. He picked up a few of those and moved on to the next store.
He was on a shopping galore.
At the boutique a stone throw away from the store, Aiden found a couple of high-quality pairs of jeans for $150 each, and a few nice t-shirts for $30 each. He also picked up a pair of sneakers on sale for $80.
"Okay, let's not exceed the budget of $2000 for shopping he said to himself as he walked out of the boutique armed with several thick paper bags.
He hauler them all the way home on his own, branching the bank to deposit the rest in his bank account.
Even after getting home the shopping king went online to find some additional items, he purchased a few accessories to complete his outfits. He found a nice leather belt for $50, a watch for $150, and a new wallet for $70.
At the end of the day all that he had spent on himself was $1,580, if one was to include the delivery food he ordered. $1,640. The night was long and a new day with a new problem awaited him at the end of his sleep.
[You have received the main quest][Main Quest]> Trace the gang that beat you up and avenge yourself. It will be hard but this is the beginning. > Quest reward: +5 blue cards, +2 green cards, +1 White card, +1 red card, +15 stats point. Qyest failure: Injury, Possibly death. [This quest has a time limit of 1 week]"Ha..." Aiden's jaw fell as he looked down at the quest that appeared before him as he thoroughly brushed his teeth. "I'm sorry, death?" The toothpaste foam in his mouth caused his words to come out somewhat scattered. But the system did not respond. Aiden washed his mouth quickly and after taking his bathe put on a casual tracksuit. "Since it is going to be like this, I should try to give it my all, shouldn't I?" Aiden said as he looked at his phone screen to be sure of the time. "11:22AM... I hope it's not late to go to the gym."Certainly, starting a gym routine can be daunting, but with determination and consistency, Aiden could actually achieve his one-minute
Aiden stared into his phone in the night, it has been two hours since he sent her a 'HI' There has been no response and he was beginning to think–'Perhaps she gave me the contact so she would portray herself as a rude person...I heard girls like her can be very hard to get...And I doubt if she's single because, she's pretty, even prettier than Amby. She probably has a rich guy somewhere taking care of her with no stress. Come on Aiden let's not shoot higher than we can manage. Amby has taught me enough lesson...'Then he looks at the quest failure...'Then again, things have changed. Before, I didn't have the system, but now I have the system. I can do this, I can be a better man.'All these thoughts roamed his head, moving him back and forth till his eyes became dizzy and started to close slowly. buzz buzzThe vibration of the received message prompted his half-asleep eyes to open completely. Aiden sharply brought the screen to his face in anticipation. >> Hello Was what he
Aiden lived every moment in anticipation of how the evening was going to be. He had never felt like this in his entire life, not even when he was trying to get Amby, that could be considered as a school thing, when he was a school boy but this date was a different level.He was going to meet a voluptuous and beautiful woman– he is going g to have a date with her just a day after meeting her. And compared to other ladies he had ever met this woman would make them into unseen ghost. No one would see them as long as she was around. Aiden didn't need to pick out a clothe, he did had a few hardship choosing in between going for a denim dress or just wearing his new grey suit. After a long time of confusion he decided to stick to his instinct and go for the suit, also he didn't forget to do his hair. He had wanted to do it before but forgot when he went shopping. But he made sure he didn't forget this time around. The sky starts to change colors as the sun began to set transitioning from
"What? Aiden, what are you doing here?" She inquired with a shy smile, stuttering along the way. "Oh, I was on a date... and you? Were you on a date too." "So, you left your date over there to come to me? Should I be thankful?" Her voice was beginning to change. "What do you mean? No you shouldn't, I just came to see how dreadful you would be without me. Amby, you are the worst, you kicked me out after taking everything from me. At first I thought it was the end but it looks like this is just the beginning Amby. I will show you... just how much you have lost by losing me." He declared to her with a grin and walked away– seating in front of his date. "So, the reason why you have not experienced some things is because you have been in a relationship... all the while."Aiden smiled as she caught up real quick despite the fact that all he said before leaving was 'Excuse me for a moment' before leaving her to meet Amby."I guess you are quick-witted than I thought." She let out a c
"It's okay, I can take care of this." Athena said as she observed Aiden."No, it is totally okay. I got this." Aiden replied her and stood up. "Excuse me for a moment" He said and made his way to the toilet. Athena smiled as she watched him hurry to the toilet in his fine suit. "He's cute" she muttered. "What should we do ma'am?" "It's fine. Just put on my tab but you don't have to tell my father, the only reason why I chose this place is because the cooking reminds me of mum." "I understand ma'am, the chairwoman developed all the recipes we use today. Surely this is place is a good memory of her." The waiter bowed and walked away, by the looks of how he talked and address Athena, he didn't seem to be just a regular waiter. Even his looks were old and no doubt he was in his forties.[Regealing green card][You have gained $1,000][Revealing blue card][You have gained $100][Revealing blue card][You have gained $100]Aiden looked at his account balance, $360.

But it was different now.The future Aiden could only dream of seemed feasible now.That was why he woke up with renewed vigor and determination to make sure he makes it. But he had to progress with this main quest that was before him. Which meant that he needed to take his gym sessions more seriously."I should consider learning how to throw effective blows."He mumbled to himself as he jogged down the street in the early hours of the day before dawn.[Emergency Quest Generated]He grinned as he came to an abrupt stop.'Finally, another chance.'[Emergence quest]> A car of smugglers is being pursued by the police.

Aiden after the successful morning was here again... in the gym but this time a different section."I want to learn boxing.""You want to learn boxing... you." The boxing coach looked at Aiden sizing him up with his gaze at the same time mocking his sheepish confidence. To him Aiden was clearly like a high schooler who got bullied and wanted to learn to fight in order to fight back– the entire idea of that feel wasn't a bad thing. But Aiden isn't an high schooler, the fact that he looked that way to the gym instructor wasn't a good first impression."You got money?""How much is the subscription fee?""three hundred for sign up one fifty consequent month or you can just do a thousand for the year.""Coach are you really going to..." One of the boxers around whispered from behind the coach."Shut up," The Coach whispered back."But coach, look at this guy, it'd probably take five years to get him in shape.""Hey don't talk about a man like that, it's rude. He looks like he's got money.
Aiden's punch folded into the dark-skinned guy's defense.Defense?That was not enough to stop the monstrous force that Aiden pulled with that punch as if he was being attacked by an hurricane, the dark-skinned guy blew out of the ring slamming on the brick wall of the gym and falling to the ground.The cheering crowd went silent in a dot. And everything was like there was never noise. Even Athena couldn't help her widened eyes."Well... that's what happen when you judge a book by it's cover. Give me my wins..." The coach said to the guy next to him with a big smile."Coach what?" Another boxer, shocked at the coach asking for betting money inquired."What? I put a hundred on the newbie.""WHAT?!"All of them choruses together as the coach collected his wins with a big wide smile. The next minute everyone had totally forgotten that Gerb was knocked out of the ring and even passed out...."Wow... that was a hell of a punch.""Ha ha... I didn't even know how that came through. I just f
The following day, Aiden prepared to return to Canada and continue his hunt for the gang that took his parents from him.He had woken up at the crack of dawn full of vigour to start his manhunt. He had just finished packing his bags, his men already outside in the car, its engine on to keep it warm pending the time Aiden finishes with his father's friend.As Aiden's eyes skimmed round the room, his eyes landed on a small picture of his father and mother. His mother had been carry Aiden in her hands. Moving closer, Aiden inspected the picture. This was the first time he was seeing this picture as his grandfather didnt have it.He used a finger to trace their figure. Two of the most important people in his life reduced to nothing but memories frozen in photographs."That was during the time the mafia was after your father. He had come to me for a safe location which i had arranged for him. That was the last time i saw them. The next time i heard about them, it was news of their death. I
Then, the day they had been waiting for arrived. The head of the Black Lagoon syndicate was captured in Canada, drawn by the relentless attacks that had plagued his syndicate. As Aiden stood before him, his eyes ablaze with fury, he felt a cruel satisfaction in seeing the man who had taken his parents from him brought to justice.The room was dimly lit, the air thick with tension. The sound of rain tapping against the windows added an eerie rhythm to the atmosphere. Mishina Ren's eyes were cold and calculating, a stark contrast to the fire burning within Aiden's gaze.For years, Ren had eluded capture, always slipping through Aiden's fingers at the last moment. But tonight was different. Tonight, the odds were finally in Aiden's favor, and he was determined to make the most of it."Game over, Ren," Aiden's voice was laced with a lethal calmness. "You've caused enough pain. It's time to pay for your sins."Ren's lips curled into a chilling smile. "You're a persistent one, Aiden. But do
It was nightfall. The air was still, the surrounding eerily quiet. The usual night sounds were absent as though they had a premonition of what was to happen. Aiden walked in long strides towards a rundown motel. He had gotten intel that one of the remainjng Black lagoon comander was currently in there with a woman. He had evaded capture for sk long that he had began to drop his guard.He had been sighted in one of the clubs, bragging loudly about how he was as slippery as fish, difficult to catch.Soon after, his story had changed to how he had fought off his opponent's in their hundreds with just a baseball bat. With each change in story, he bought a drink and guzzler it down. He felt he had been lucky and all the commanders of the Black Lagoon was dead. To him, that meant that only he had access to the wealth of the Black Lagoon. He was going to cart away their riches and relocate to a quiet island, if possible buy the island and fortify it against intruders.Across the bar, a lady
By day, Aiden was the Chairman of Revenmar groups, breaking barriers and making waves in every industry they had projects in. He attended meetings and travelled to visit dignitaries who shouwed prospects of becoming investors.By night, he wrecked terror upon mafia families. Being the considerate and kind man that he was, he spared the innocent wives and children. Before staging an attack, he had his men do a thorough research about the family they were to attack.The punishments metted out was dependent on the gravity of their offences. Aiden was the judge and executioner. He understood that no mafia family was good, not even his but there were crimes he couldbt tolerate like human trafficking, rape, drug trafficking and reckless murders. Hence the research before attacking.It got so remarkable that crime rates reduced not only in Canada but also in other parts of the world. No government could pinpoint how the crime rate kept reducing drastically. Fear of the Naitatu plagued the hea

Early the next morning, even before the birds started chirping, Aiden was up and ready for his travel. He waited in the dark for the telltale sound of his chopper. At exactly 7 am, he heard the sound of the blades beating against the wind. Aiden had packed an overnight bag because he planned to stay till the next day. He vowed to uncover everything and every mystery that shrouded his early years and his father's past.Aiden made his way to the top of his building, using the stairs discreetly placed in his walk-in closet. He shouldered the door leading to the roof opened and stepped iut. His bag slung over his shoulder.Eduard stood there with three of his men. The moment he sighted his boss, he made to collect Aiden's bag which he refused with a shake of his head.A pilot sat in the cockpit. "How long is this flight going to be?" Aiden asked Eduard. He had chosen to travel early to avoid any delays on the way."It will take 6 hours sir. We will also have to touch base every two hours
The air was heavy with unspoken words as Aiden sat across from his grandfather, a palpable tension hanging between them. The room felt smaller, suffocating, as he gathered his courage to voice the question that had lingered in his heart for years.This was a few days after his eventual discharge from the hospital. Liam's trial had been swift because they had his confession. Every member of the Chrysanthemums Operation had been apprehended, facing different term sentences in prison. Gossamer shut down as news traveled far, causing its investors to pull out swiftly.Liam had been put on death parole, Aiden ensuring that his death happened sooner than later. The closure of Gossamer shot Revenmar to the top of the list of technology titans worldwide. It filled Aiden with pride as he was a core factor in making all these happen. After a few days of recuperating, Aiden resumed as the Chairman of the Revenmar Group of Companies unrivaled.Harris Revenmar had processed the release of Adam fro
Aiden's eyelids fluttered, and the world gradually swam into focus. The sterile scent of the hospital room filled his nose, and the soft beep of machines provided a rhythmic background to his returning consciousness. The events leading up to his current state seemed distant and fragmented, like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle he was struggling to put together.As his vision cleared, he found his grandfather sitting by his bedside. A smile stretched Aiden's face. Movements caused his grandfather to look up from his book, his eyes filled with relief as he saw Aiden waking up. With a steady hand, he reached out and pressed the call bell above Aiden's bed."I'm so glad you are awake. Oh, I have been worried sick about you! The doctors said your chances of survival were slim, but I was certain that the boy I and your ma raised was stronger than that."Within moments, the door swung open, revealing a trio of medical personnel entering the room. They wore matching white coats, their expressions, a
By nightfall, a majority of the attendees had left, ensuring to show their gratitude to their hosts as they went.Trisha and Aiden stood by the door, shaking hands or blowing air kisses as people left. The Chairman was by the side, speaking to some of the board of directors present.Trisha watched Aiden with concern in her eyes, mouthing her words. she asked if he was fine, to which he nodded in the affirmative. He still looked clean, untouched, his outfit without creases. Their aunt, Getrude, waltzed towards the door, her girls in tow."It was a pleasant evening! Although I must say my brother didn't train that boy right. Should have put him to the whip to beat out that nonsense entitlement from him instead, what does he do? Encourage the brat."Her girls looked uncomfortable behind her as she droned on. Aiden tuned out her voice, only nodding when it seemed like she needed him to.Thankfully, Faith pulls her mom forward. "Let's go, ma. There is a line behind you." Aidrn sent her a g
