"Your admission has been revoked Mr. Crox, please leave the university premises."
Peter Crox, an ordinary guy working hard to earn a better life stood shocked in the Grimland university admission office as he was immediately sent out even before he could get the chance to start studying."What? But I just received an acceptance email a few days ago." He couldn't accept it, Grimland university was his only chance at changing his life, however he was also losing that opportunity?The admission officer sneered, "Do you think someone like you is worthy of studying at this university? Just take a look at yourself, only wealthy families can afford to get to study at this institution. Our professors are all the best in the country, would they waste their precious time teaching scum like you? You should consider yourself lucky for even getting the chance to step foot into this building, leave now before I call security to send you out!"Peter's attire looked worn and old, the admission officer had immediately sneered in his heart, for someone as low as him to have even applied for a scholarship at Grimland university was a laughable feat. Sure his grades were enough that he'd automatically passed the application, but how could they allow him to soil their university's reputation?Though the admission officer couldn't have done anything about it since Peter had already been given the admission, the man was however overjoyed when Peter said his name.'So this scum was the guy whose admission Joey Winters had come to buy out.'The admission officer had first thought it was injustice for a student to buy out someone else's scholarship, but now seeing the guy, the admission officer was more than glad it had happened that way."Mr Miles, allow me to take the scholarship exam once more, since the admissions have not been closed yet, I can still manage to get another...""I already told you, we don't teach scum at this university. Now scram!"Peter gritted his teeth."This is discrimination Mr Miles, I'm poor, but that doesn't mean I shouldn't be given a chance to get a better life.""If every poor rat was given a chance, then everyone in the world would be millionaires. If that were to happen, how do you think we the big people will get our respect. Rats like you exist to give us our status, it's just the basic rule of the world."Peter clenched his fist tightly but he couldn't refute the words being said by the man.The man took in Peter's hardened look and got irritated he immediately pressed a button and called in security."Send this piece of trash out of this university grounds, I don't want to see him step foot in here again!"Peter tried to wriggle out of it but he couldn't fight against the burly men in black who picked him up dragging him out, he could hear the man's voice calling,"And next time know the kind of people you let into this building, don't let trash like this come in here to soil our high reputation again!"Peter's face hit the dirt on the floor outside the huge university building, sand and dirt sticking onto his face making him look even more dirty.He got on his feet and dusted his body glaring at the tall university in front of him feeling dejected.'I'm sorry Lisa, I've lost this chance to study and provide you with the best treatment.' Peter felt a prick in his heart thinking about his little sister who was crippled and currently in a wheelchair, she needed good surgery overseas otherwise she would forever lose her ability to walk.Having lost their parents in a gruesome accident that left his sister crippled, Peter had been taking responsibility for their lives ever since.Lisa, his sister, and his girlfriend Stacie were the only reasons he was working so hard, alas, another chance had been snatched away from him.He sighed hopelessly, but just as he was about to turn around and leave a flashy red Bugatti Chiron drove towards the university entrance, however what shocked him was the young woman he sighted sitting in the passenger seat of the car, he immediately stopped in his tracks."Stacie?"The driver was a handsome young man wearing the latest designer brands. The guy sighted Peter and smirked stopping the car, he got down from the car and approached Peter."Look who it is, the hopeless loser who punched me a week ago." Joey Winters walked over to Peter with a smug look on his face."What are you doing with my girlfriend in your car?" Peter asked feeling a strange premonition.He'd met this guy a week ago trying to molest an innocent girl, Peter had saved the girl and punched the guy in the face, he knew the guy's face since he was always on the cover of magazines as the son of the wealthiest business man in the country, but Peter didn't care about his status, he couldn't just watch an innocent girl get taken advantage of.'Mark my words loser, I'll get back at you for this.' the guy had sworn before leaving with a bleeding nose, and now he appeared with Peter's girlfriend in his car."Your girlfriend?" Joey laughed, "Or do you mean your ex girlfriend, Stacie is my girl now, I'll be having fun with her for a few weeks before I get bored, but that's no longer your business now." He uttered knowing Stacie who was in the car couldn't hear him."Stop talking rubbish, I'm sure you tricked her into getting in your car." Peter didn't wait for Joey to say another word, he walked over to the car and pulled open the door of the passenger seat."Get down from the car Stacie, that guy is trying to take advantage of you."Stacie frowned stepping down from the car, "What right do you have to tell me to get down? Do you own a car like this? You don't even own a two wheeled bicycle!"Peter was taken aback by Stacie's harsh tone, he was rendered speechless for a few seconds."Stacie..." Peter reached a hand forward but Stacie quickly stepped back as if he was something disgusting attempting to touch her."Get your filthy hands away from me!""Come here my love, don't let this loser taint you with his filth." Joey beckoned to Stacie who didn't hesitate to run into his arms.Peter couldn't bear the sight, he'd only ever held Stacie's hand a few times, yet here she was running into another man's arms."Stacie, why are you with that guy? You're my girlfriend.""Your girlfriend? Are you even worthy? What kind of life should I expect to have being with someone like you, you work three jobs at once but you can't even afford to get me the things I want, I've been with Joey for only a few days, but he has given me a lot. Look at this bracelet, it costs over a million dollars, and Joey didn't hesitate in buying it for me, this dress I'm wearing is a limited edition from the top fashion brands. And this car, Joey promised to buy me a brand new one as an engagement gift, can you even compare to him?" Stacie gloatingly flashed the bracelet and her expensive dress to Peter's face.Though he had never given her luxury things like that, the things he'd done for her were more than money could buy.Last year she'd suffered from kidney disease, she had desperately needed a kidney transplant. Peter hadn't hesitated in donating his kidney to her. Despite having been operated on, Peter still had to go back to work a few days later so he could earn enough to pay for her hospital bills.In order for her not to compare herself to other girls and feel depressed, he worked day and night juggling three jobs in order to afford pretty little things to gift to her, he would spend the whole day without getting a bite to eat after working for hours managing to get only a few hours sleep, all to be able to provide for her.And now she was saying he wasn't worthy of her."Don't look so disappointed Peter, I never planned to be with you forever, how could you expect a girl like me to be with a loser like you? Joey is my boyfriend now, so I'm breaking up with you."Even if he had to take out his own heart to give to Stacie, he would have happily done it, he didn't expect that she could be quickly swayed by wealth now openly calling him a loser and breaking up with him.A small crowd of students had gathered outside the university sensing the tension in the air, they wanted to witness the drama going on. Hearing Stacie's words, they all understood the situation."The girl is very pretty, but look at that guy. His clothes look like they were picked out of a trash can, did he really expect such a pretty girl to be his girlfriend?""It's good for losers to know their place, a girl like that clearly deserves a luxurious life, if she ends up with a lowly guy like that, she'll only live in mysery.""A pauper trying to call a princess his girlfriend, he must be delusional."All the mockery and ridicule traveled into Peter's ears, he stood rooted in his spot glaring at Joey who had on a smug smile as he embraced Stacie in his arms.Despite Stacie's harsh words and what everyone was saying, Peter still didn't feel right watching Stacie fall into the hands of a playboy like Joey Winters."Stacie, that guy is only going to play with you? Haven't you heard about how he goes around playing with women? There was even news about him getting a girl pregnant.""All those news are baseless rumors, Joey already explained everything to me, those news agencies are obviously trying to get some fame by ruining his name, and even though he had some girlfriends in the past, he no longer has anything to do with any other girl apart from me.""Joey Winters is everyone's dream man, this loser is just trying to ruin his name.""Even if Joey used to be a playboy, this begger can still not amount to him."Joey showed a benevolent look towards Peter, "I heard you had a crippled sister. Since I'm a kind hearted guy, I'll ignore all your insults today, if you crawl on your knees and lick my shoes clean, I'll think about giving you a bit of money to pay for her surgery.""See? Joey is such a nice guy, hurry and get on your knees Peter, don't let him change his mind, it's a very generous offer." Stacie chimed as if she was thinking on behalf of Peter."Young master Winters is indeed very kind to make such an offer to that loser.""In his whole life, I'm sure he'll never get such a chance again. If he knows what's best for him he better start crawling right now."Thinking about his innocent little sister, Peter gritted his teeth and clenched his fist.He was a nobody who couldn't even better his life, if he couldn't do anything to save his sister, then he was completely useless. Even if he had to throw away his own self respect, as long as he could ensure that his sister would get her surgery.He was just about to go on his knees when he suddenly heard a buzzing sound in his head followed by a sharp *Ding!**Face-slapping tycoon system detecting the oppressed!**Binding face-slapping tycoon system to the oppressed...*10%...*30%...*50%...*80%...*100%...*Binding complete.*A blank white screen appeared in front of Peter's vision, he was the only one seeing the screen.*Host: Peter Crox*Balance: $0*Body: 10 (weak)*Mind: 25 (normal)*Skill: None (Can be added upon quest completions.)Peter didn't know if he was seeing things or if there was really a screen before him along with a robotic voice in his head at the moment. The voice soon sounded in his head again,*Welcome host Peter Crox to the face-slapping tycoon system. This system is an eternal binding system which would be bound to host forever. With the system, host can go from the oppressed to become the most powerful man in the world.**How to use system: Host will obtain various amounts once he completes quests issued by the system. Host is expected to spend extravagantly as befitting of a tycoon, host will be awarded points based on how much host can spend in a day, points can be used to purchase skills and better body condition.**First quest: Dump Stacie Williams and cut off ties with her forever without any lingering feelings.**Quest reward: $100,000,000,000.**Quest timeframe: 20 minutes.*'What the hell? Is all this even real?'"Why are you standing there staring into space like a fool? If you don't lick my shoes this instant, I might just change my mind. You wouldn't want your little sister to remain crippled forever! If she grows up to be a wasted cripple with no future, you have yourself to blame, but at least she won't be completely useless, I know some really good adult movie directors who can arrange some dirty gigs for her to earn some bucks to sustain your lowly lives."Just as Peter was contemplating how real the system that just sounded in his head was, Joey's obnoxious voice once again reached his ears. Peter was immediately ticked off at the insult to his little sister, his eyes turned red and he rushed forward. Landing several punches onto Joey's handsome face before anyone could stop him.However, a few guys were quick to come pull him away but Joey still couldn't get away from having a bleeding nose again."Bastard, how dare you hit me?!""The next time you insult my sister, I'll break every b
In order to test it out and confirm that he wasn't actually dreaming, Peter walked to the nearest ATM machine he could find as he didn't even have a single penny on him to commute. After walking for half an hour he finally found an ATM machine, pulling out his old rusty looking card from his pocket, he inserted it into the machine and typed in a withdrawal of $100,000.He had just wanted to test it out without much hope, for all he knew his mind might be playing tricks on him due to the hopelessness of his life, however in a few seconds, the ATM machine began to gush out cash that made his jaw drop.Peter almost felt the need to slap himself, perhaps he'd wake up from this dream."I'm not dreaming, the system is actually real." Peter jumped feeling ecstatic.This was the opportunity of a lifetime, and with this he would make sure to reverse his fate. No one would look down on him from this moment on, no one would dare to insult his sister from this moment on.It was the first time Pet
In accordance to the promise Peter made to Lisa, when they got into a cab, he immediately asked the driver to take them to the paradise hotel in the city. It was an incredibly large and tall building that seemed to reach up to the sky. Getting to the reception, the guy behind the desk looked at Peter strangely along with the girl he was carrying in his arms. Peter knew the man was about to look down on him, so before he could even speak, Peter dropped cash on the desk."I'd like the best suite to spend the night please."The receptionist who was about to tell Peter off, seeing the cash immediately changed his expression, "Certainly sir. Please come with me."Peter was led to the most opulent looking room he'd ever seen in his life. Lisa was amazed by such a setting, she couldn't stop looking around.That evening was the most memorable Peter had ever had in his life. Eating luxury meals ordered from room service, taking a bath in a jacuzzi.However, the next morning, Peter got up bri
*Ding!**Host has spent more than ten million in a day, 20 points has been received. Points can be used to purchase skills and better body condition.**Host: Peter Crox*Balance: $100,450,000,000*Body: 10 (weak)*Mind: 25 (normal)*Points: 20*Skill: None (Can be added using points)Harry was stumped. In just a few minutes, uniformed men had arrived at the golden villas. Elite places like the golden villas was a top priority location for the authorities because only the highest ranking people in society stayed there, hence they always dispatched people to rush there in just a few minutes. "We were called to come arrest a thief causing a scene." One of the police men said as they arrived at the lobby. Mr Phillips was shivering at this point, this was their biggest customer all year. No one had been able to afford unit one.Landville was a D ranked city, there were wealthy people who stayed there, but not as wealthy as all the other high ranked cities. Someone who could take out a h
Peter stepped down from the cab and hurried towards the entrance of the tall Grandview bank building, however he was immediately stopped by the guards."Go through the second entrance, this entrance is for VIP guests only." The guard yelled with a stoic expression.Peter glanced at the second entrance, it had a long line of people waiting to walk into the bank."The person I'm here to meet told me to come in through this entrance." Peter explained but the guard frowned sizing Peter up. Taking in his disheveled appearance, the guard sneered."Just look at yourself, do you even think you're capable of going through this entrance, you're obviously cooking up a story just to make me let you in.""I'm really not cooking up a story, Miss Cynthia told me to go in through here...""Hmph, just because you know the name of the branch manager doesn't mean I'l let you in. Let me tell you, I've seen many bums like you before, most of you are just here to try your hands at something to steal, guys
Everyone's mouths hung open."This..." Cynthia hesitated after she reigned in her shock. "I'm afraid this might not be the best decision Mr Crox.""Why do you say that?" Peter queried."Please come with me to my office so we can discuss this further." Cynthia ushered Peter in politely.Seeing them going in Daniel was about to follow suit too. He seemed to have lost his tongue after hearing Peter's identity and what he planned to do.If this guy was such a big shot that could set to purchase the stocks to the highest price, he better steer clear of him. Daniel planned to rush in and join the auction before Peter would shock everyone by just making the purchase. And in another corner of his mind, he didn't believe Peter was capable enough to make the purchase.The starting bid for the stocks were a hundred million dollars which would give the buyer 45% shares into the project with an estimated profit of 15 billion dollars a month throughout the duration of the project, which meant the b
Half an hour later, within the large conference room in the Grandview bank. Several big businessmen in Landville were gathered.A lot of them were middle aged men in their late forties to their early fifties, the younger people present were mostly women who came as escorts to some of the businessmen and the sons who were nothing but heirs to companies already built by their fathers.Everyone was here with the same goal in mind, to purchase the Vangham stocks, a small share in a temporary project by the Winters corporation.The auctioneer who was a representative from Winters corporation stood on the podium along with Cynthia Lane with a large projection screen behind them. "Welcome to Grandview bank, it is our honor to hold the long awaited auction for the Vangham stocks, a highly profitable project planned for the past five years by the renowned Winters corporation. I believe everyone is fully aware of the rules, only the highest bidder will purchase the shares making an investment
A tall man was standing at the entrance, his lean body wearing a fitting Randell85 bespoke suit that exuded pure luxury. Everyone present knew that a Randell85 suit wasn't easy to purchase. Only the wealthiest and most influential men could afford such attire. The man had a regal bearing that made everyone subconsciously conclude that he must have a remarkable identity making them curious about him, however when they all gazed at his face they frowned, their curiosity unsatisfied. The man had a black mask covering half of his face leaving only his attractive lips visible, the accessory seemingly infused with gold carvings adding to the air of luxury the man exuded.The mysterious aura oozing from him made everyone even more curious."Who is that young man?""I don't think I've ever seen him before.""Since he's here, he must be a businessman too, but I've never seen or heard of him anywhere.""Why is his face hidden? Could it be that his identity is that terrifying?" The men within
Within the huge Blue house estate in highland, a woman in a pristine black suit walked down the halls with guards and employees trailing behind her back waiting for instructions.The woman was beautiful with short hair, though she had changed slightly in the last few months, she still had the same strong efficient mind for business."Miss Samantha, what does the president like to eat?" One maid asked, she used to be among the former President's female employees. They were all eager to please the new president, especially after the news of his imminent return."The president has several favorite meals. Instruct the chefs to prepare a bountiful feast, anything with venison, the president loves those, caviar should be a must, he's grown a taste for that over time. Remember that everything about the meal should be flawless." Samantha instructed the maid who was the head of the kitchen in the Blue house."Yes Miss Samantha." The maid departed and hurried towards the kitchen to carry out he
"It's amusing to see how desperate you can go. You can even blacken your heart to kill me? Ethan Titan, your death shall cleanse the world." Saying this Peter's power doubled.Ethan who was already feeling triumphant stiffened, his expression darkened in fright."What is this? How are you able to...no! No!!"He couldn't believe his eyes, it seemed like Peter had merely been playing with him seconds ago.His dark power was pushed backwards in a fast speed. It didn't take Peter a second to depleted the power Ethan had sold his heart to gain.His own power hit him hard in the chest and he spat mouthfuls of blood repeatedly.He seemed to realize he was fighting a losing battle.Peter's position as a high supreme immortal was achieved through genuine tribulation which he managed to ascend, while Ethan's power was through a dark force, there was no way he could win this fight."Damn you Elias Titan, this is not the end of our battle." Saying this, Ethan turned around to flee."There is no e
'Big brother!' The tiny voice of a girl echoed through an empty space. 'Hurry and come back big brother. I'll be waiting for you.'A small speck of light flickered on for a single moment before it turned off again. 'I died for you in the past life, and I won't hesitate to die for you again.'The light flickered on again and died once more. 'How can this be the end of me?' Long minutes passed by, and then, all of a sudden..."Boom!" A thick burst of light surged in the dark empty space, the light so bright it could blind the ordinary eye.*System restarting!**Welcome back host!*The speck of light looked down at its own floating body."I'm back! I passed the tribulation!"Ethan smirked triumphantly when he noticed there was no trace of life on the dead body lying on the floor."Heh! Finally, you're finally gone for good Elias." Ethan laughed heartily as if he was currently experiencing the happiest day of his life."Announce to the whole world, today Titan state shall host the bi
"Ethan Titan! You are a despicable beast!" Lucina cried as she was held back by many Titan guards. She had fought with all her might, in the end she hadn't been able to over power them.Ethan laughed loudly as he dragged Peter's body by his foot, he went outside in the open field of the Titan castle."Do you see this cousin Elias? This is where we used to play as kids. And this is the same place I killed you last time, how nostalgic it feels, being here again with your dead body.""Darling, now that you've gotten rid of him for the second time, can I be your queen? I have been hidden for a long time, our plans was to bait him when he returns again, he never knew I betrayed him last time, he would have still loved me if he saw me again, I'm glad I didn't have to pretend to be in love with him again this time." Celene spoke, her words dripping with disgust as she stared at Peter's body."Don't worry my love, you're already my queen. The entire independent states will bow to you. But fir
*Beep!**Beep!**Beep!*A speck of light fluttered in an empty dark space.*Welcome host, to the system space.* The voice of the old man which belonged to the system sounded in the space.A large screen appeared in the dark space, the speck of dust seemed to have awareness of it's own."This...this is the system screen I always see in my head." *Replying to host: system has caught host's soul before it can be transported to the netherworld.*"Right, I'm already dead." The speck of dust said looking down at its own floating body. *In order to be transported to the netherworld, host's soul needs to be unbinded with the system.*"Did you bring my soul here to get permission to unbind the system?"*Replying to host: I brought you here to give host one final test.* "A final test? But I already died."*Host's soul is that of an immortal, for an immortal to be killed and completely wiped away from the earth, they have to be destroyed by dark energy.*"Dark energy." The speck of light whic
When betrayal got so intense, it would feel like a chain of flames burning ones heart, that was how Peter felt in this moment.He had tasted betrayal several times, in his lifetime as Elias when his trusted cousin betrayed him and staged a rebellion against him then killed him, and in his life as Peter when the woman he loved scorned him and left him for a richer guy, now he was both Elias and Peter, and he was experiencing another painful betrayal.Celene had been his one true love...or so he thought."You...betrayed me?" Peter asked blood dripping from the side of his mouth."I never betrayed you Elias, right from the start, I never loved you." She said, while still in Ethan's arms, "Ethan and I had been childhood lovers and me being with you, was just a part of our plans." Right in front of his eyes, Ethan kissed Celene passionately making Peter feel disgust along with the unbearable pain burning inside him."It was my fault for trusting you...both of you, a mistake I'll make cert
When the guards saw Peter entering the Titan castle, they laid down their weapons and bowed to the floor.He watched the place he'd known as home in his past life, the grounds he'd played as a child and practiced his magic as an adult.When he walked into the hall he saw the day he climbed the throne, and the day he was struck down from it by his own cousin.The desire for revenge coursed through his blood and he clenched his fist.Today he'll take back everything from that bastard!"You finally came dear cousin."Lights turned on in the hall illuminating the majestic opulence of the room.Peter's face hardened when he sighted Ethan.He was sitting in a chaise lounge atop an elevated platform within the hall. A woman was kneeling by his feet cleaning his shoes.When Peter's eyes focused on the woman, he realized she was familiar, extremely familiar."Mom!" The woman slowly turned around, her face was sunken and she looked pale and frail. The woman who had been a queen in his past lif
"Yes!" Peter replied. "I am Lord Titan. But you will take that knowledge to your grave!"Peter snapped his fingers and the chain tugged ruthlessly, Oliver's wrist fell to the floor, severed from his hand."Arghhh!" His cry of pain was seized by the chain tightening around his throat burning his skin and snapping off his head.Students scrambled backwards as his body fell separated from his head.Knees immediately hit the cold floor with resounding thuds."Hail Lord Titan!" Peter slowly descended the stairs.Diana gazed up at him feeling the huge change in his aura."How did you do it so fast? Your aura has changed... you've become stronger.""I told you I had a treasure." Peter replied with a smile.With heads bowed down to the floor, no one dared to glance up at him in the face.The legends were true. Lord Titan had returned.Lucina moved to stand beside Peter."Congratulations my Lord, you can return and take back your rightful place." "Thank you for your help Lucy, go back home
The man standing at the top of the stairs was the same person they were thinking had exploded into minced meat, but there he stood with a regal aura, and shockingly...dark golden eyes.Everyone knew that only the Titans had golden colored orbs."How is this...who is he?" At this moment, one of the staff taking care of the Haven rushed into the scene."Bad news! Bad news!" He exclaimed, voice trembling as if something terrible had just happened.No one answered the man who had rushed in, he approached the first elder and spoke."The second and third level of the Haven is experiencing a big problem. All the energy in the air has been sucked up by a strange force!""What?" The first elder couldn't help but feel shocked and frightened at the same time.His eyes subconsciously looked up at the figure standing atop the stairs."How could the energy be sucked away just like that?" "I don't know how, but from our control rooms we saw a person through the cameras, that person seems strange,
