George felt like he was dreaming.
Considering the fact that he even had dreams where he became James Bond, fighting villains and riding cars through skyscrapers, he was not surprised by it.
‘Well, what story does my dream has for me today?’
[Initializing System…]
[System Boot Successful!]
[Testing Bloodline…, please wait…]
[Bloodline Test Successful!]
[Result: Compactible!]
[Congratulations George Dickerson! You have inherited the ancient family heirloom of the Dickerson family!]
Inside his dream, George’s eyes widened. ‘What the heck?’
‘That’s my mother’s maiden name!’
‘Is this grandfather gift from my mom’s side’.
‘Damn! Mom never really told me much about her family, I only know dad’s family, perhaps they’re really a mysterious James Bond family’.
This dream felt like a first person POV interactive game to him.
He was amazed. ‘This is new’.
[Tape from previous system holder has been detected!]
[Do you want to listen to tape?]
Silence.
5 seconds later, George was surprised. ‘Damn, it’s speaking to me!’
He fidgeted in his dream. ‘Well, ok, if there’s a tape, play it’.
Bzzz!
George’s eyes widened as those 90s and 2000s style radios appeared before him the next moment, the tape was recorded in those old radio style.
‘Damn, is today’s dream a medieval journey this time?’
The next moment, to his shock, the tape actually played.
These old-style radio tapes were supposed to play only audio but perhaps due to the fact that it was a dream, it also played video.
A face with white hair, bald in the middle, with short white beard, and wearing a pair of glass lens appeared before him.
For some reason, this old geezer’s face was chiseled like George’s.
Despite the effects of age, George saw the resemblance.
‘F*ck me sideways!’ He exclaimed in his dream.
‘Is that my old man?’
The old man came to life as he looked at him curiously. The old man frowned on looking at him. ‘Maria that stubborn girl, she really refused to teach you the family ways’.
George looked at this old geezer. ‘Huh?’
‘You’re supposed to lie on your face when you see an elder’.
George was dumbfounded. ‘Are you for real old man?’
The old man in the radio tape glowered. ‘A tongue as venomous as your mom’s, you’re truly Maria’s son’. He frowned.
‘Anyways, I don’t have much time so I’ll go straight to the point’.
‘The system is a family heirloom of our family all the way from our migration from Ancient England in the early 20s’.
‘Every generation, the oldest male Dickerson inherits it’.
George’s face twitched. ‘Dickerson,’ He muffled his laughter. ‘I almost forgot how ridiculous mom’s maiden name was, I’m glad I didn’t have to answer it in school’.
‘Perhaps Vanessa would have blamed our breakup on that’.
Knowing what was going through his head, the old man glowered even more but he continued since he didn’t have much time in this form.
‘After inheriting it, the system changes, aligning to suit your greatest ambition to help you pursue it successfully’.
‘Since the 20s when we inherited it, we’ve always passed it on’.
‘Unlike my father who inherited the system before me though,’ this old man finally showed emotion for the first time, sadness. ‘I was not as potent as he was’.
‘My dad had 12 wives, giving birth to 53 children and I was the eldest male so naturally, I inherited it from him’.
‘Unlike my dad, I had only 4 wives and only 1 child’. He glowered again. ‘And worse of all, she was female’.
George looked at the old man. ‘Let me guess, my mom’.
‘Yeah,’ He glowered again. ‘F*cking Maria was my only child’.
‘From a young age, I trained her to inherit the system, even discovering another ancient family with a system and organizing an arranged marriage to unite our powers and make both of our families even stronger’.
‘On her 18th birthday, when she was to get married to the eldest son of the Hayes family, guess what your mother did’.
‘She ran?’
‘YES!’ This old man roared angrily.
‘She ran and got married to your dad!’ This old man roared emotionally.
‘Good thing though, or who knows, I may have never been born’. George joked as he casually picked his nose.
Seeing how carefree he said this, this old man coughed blood.
He was about to rant again when his projection flickered.
‘F*ck! I deviated!’ He cursed. ‘My time’s almost up!’
‘George, you’re the 4th inheritor of the system, please find…’
Bzzz!
The old man was cut off, his time was up.
George rubbed his nose. ‘Erm, so what now?’
The system lit up again.
[Partial memory scan complete!]
[The system has been aligned to fit your goals!]
[Congratulations! You have inherited the Beast Capturing System!]
Bzzz!
Lights out, the dream was cut off but George didn’t wake up immediately.
…
Yawn!
Waking up lazily the next morning, George stretched as unlike the past few days, he didn’t have any motivation to wear his fake clothes and go on job interviews. All of them were scam!
This morning though, he felt weird.
He scratched his head. “What a crazy night,” he muttered.
“I dreamt of my grandfather”. He laughed.
“I’m truly going senile; how do you dream of a man you’ve never met before?” Attempting to laugh again, he paused as he felt something.
Growl!
His empty stomach started.
“No man, not this early!” Complaining, he rushed to his wallet and opened it. Like he expected, no miracle happened, the wallet was thoroughly empty.
Worse still, the house was empty of any foodstuff.
“F*ck!” He cursed. “Where am I getting money to eat this morning?”
Knock! Knock!
“Yes,” answering, he went to the door where he saw a face that was enough to be considered a product straight out of his worst nightmare.
The landlord stood at the door!
“Hehe, good morning landlord”. George chuckled.
The landlord flatly stared back at him. “Good morning, George”.
The landlord was not really the owner of the building but more of a caretaker. He was a thin middle-aged man with only strands of brown hair in his head like a ruthless legion of rats feasted on them every night.
He showed a paper to him. “Your rent has been due for 4 months already and today, I finally lost my patience”.
“I gave you a quick notice 2 months ago”.
“You’re leaving my house today!” He pushed the door open but George blocked it.
“Hey!” He called. “Landlord bro, chill, it’s still morning”. He smiled.
“You want to wake our beautiful neighbors?” He chuckled.
Using his bigger physique and frame to oppress the landlord, he forced him to listen to him. George patted him on the shoulder with a wide smile on his face.
“Landlord, let’s talk like gentlemen”.
“You know, there’s this job interview that I was called for today. Infact, it’s not an interview, I already got the job, all I’m doing is going there to take my job confirmation form”.
“I’m not supposed to tell anyone but you know, you’re my guy”.
The landlord calmed down. “Really?”
“Yes,” George looked around as if trying hard not to let others know about his success. “And guess what, you know how much I’ll be paid monthly?”
The landlord became more interested. “How much?”
George gestured for him to come closer, the landlord hesitated.
“Come on man, I can’t tell it to the whole world”.
The landlord came closer and George whispered into his ear. “I’ll be paid 200,000 NUS Credits every month”.
The landlord’s eyes widened. “Really?”
George nodded. “Of course, will I lie to you?”
The landlord finally smiled. “That means you can easily pay your rent since it’s just 1/4th of your monthly salary”.
George laughed and pointed at him. “You’re intelligent!”
Smiling now, the landlord finally turned to leave but George stopped him. “I was about to go take my job confirmation letter now and I’m feeling too lazy to cook, I’ll appreciate it if Deborah made some food and I can…”
George stopped; the landlord just turned to glare at him.
He chuckled. “Hehe, never mind”.
Bam!
As soon as the landlord left and he jammed his door shut, George rushed to go brush his teeth even as his head started brainstorming.
‘Where can I get money?’
His brain had the same result like everything though; zero results.
“F*cking brain! You’re so useless!” He cursed.
As George thought in desperation, for some reason his attention could not help being distracted as he thought of the strange dream and the weird inheritance that the beautiful red-haired girl brought for him yesterday.
Beep!
He was startled as he heard a beeping sound. “That’s not my phone”.
Turning, he saw the ancient style phone, visafone model’s screen light up.
His eyes widened. “It’s working?”
“I thought it was just some junk”.
Dumping his toothbrush, he rushed there and to his shock, he saw words written on the screen that would forever change his life.

He was now equipped to show his stomach who was boss.He was now ready to climb down from the tree, but just as he moved…Click!The door to the first floor of the 3-storied building opened the next moment, and from it came out a beautiful blonde-haired young lady with thick curves.On top the tree, George froze even as he gulped.‘F*cking Count Luke!’‘So, this is what you do when your wife is not around huh?’‘F*cking cheater!’‘And not with some random girl either, a girl this hot? F*ck!’Perhaps, it was due to his agitated reaction but a tree branch br
“Whatsup?” George swaggered into the familiar shop.With a poker look on his face, the 12-year-old boy turned to face him. “You came back?”“What do you mean by you came back?” He snapped. “Get me some…”The boy interrupted. “Some more small bread?”“Shut up!” Glaring at the boy, George exaggeratedly fished out a 1,000 NUS credit note out of his pocket and plastered it on the boy’s face.“There, that’s money boy, money!” He grinned.“Now, get me what I ordered previously; I told you I’ll be coming back with money right?”Silence.With surprise written all over his face, this little boy stared at him with suspicion now appearing on his face, as if questioning where he went to steal from.George cursed in his mind. ‘This brat!’“Just get me what I ordered!” He glared at him.“Hmm, ok”. The boy shrugged and went to fetch it before giving him his credit left over from the money.George was surprised, he looked at the boy. “815 Credits?”“Yes”. The boy nodded. “Small bread is no longer 140

“You’ll really pay me 500 NUS Credits if I manage to hit the hawk?” The boy looked at the uncle before him suspiciously.“Yes,” George nodded with a gentle smile on his face.“Not necessarily hit it, all I need from you is to startle the hawk just after it catches the hen’s chick, make him drop the chick”.“Oh!” The boy finally understood, then he smiled. “I can do it”.He didn’t care what this uncle wanted to do with it, all he knew was that he was about to get 500 NUS Credits richer.For a little boy like him, that was a lot of money.

“W-w-what?” Rita reacted, startled by what she just heard.“You created a masterpiece?”All of a sudden, this beautiful young lady felt light-headed.Masterpieces, pictures that had attained the realm of beast taming, what were they? They were genius piece of works that could only be created by the best picture artists and were created once in a blue moon.To witness one in your lifetime was already something to brag about, then what of witnessing the moment of one being created?At this moment, Rita became so excited that she literally became breathless.She felt like she just witnessed a legend.She hugged George back excitedly as she kissed him on the forehead. “I love you!”“I love you, George!”“You’re the best, I love you!”Well, that was unexpected, but who was George to say no to that?Of course, he would not ruin the moment.George went with her flow as they both celebrated his achievement and then after a few more minutes to calm down, George finally showed her the picture.
The next day, George woke up feeling refreshed.‘What a wonderful dream I had’. He thought as he squinted his eyes, trying to let them adjust to the dim lighting of this room.The events of yesterday felt like a dream to him, till he was fully awake.George was frozen still when he finally felt the real sensation.For the first time in months, he woke up with the warm sensation of someone else tightly cuddled in his arms; a woman, his date.At this moment, without him knowing, somehow, his hands already found their way to her supple breasts. At this moment, caressing them softly, George felt like a machine was sucking all the stress of months away from his consciousness.Feeling his lower body against hers, George felt hot, he blushed.And then, he looked at her.He stared at her beautiful face, her soft ears, her nose, her perfectly supple lips, and then, he focused on her hair.Staring at her beautiful long black hair that trailed lazily down her neck like a black waterfall, accentu
