My Money Spendrift System Chapter 309_Side Effect
Perseus walked in through the front door, his eyes scanning the place for the sight of Sherry. Seeing that she might be upstairs, he walked up the stairs. After reading the message, he excused himself and left.For safety reasons, he had decided to keep the message away from Eris. He could tell that she was angry, and adding that would make her even worse.“Sherry!” He called out to her, pushing the door Lexi was at, and hurried in.Sherry glanced back at him; she was sitting on the bed with Lexi. “Oh, you are home.”His gaze trailed toward Lexi. She had a colored pencil in her hand, and she was scrubbing them on a sheet of paper. “What do you mean by saying she is behaving strangely?” Perseus asked, stepping closer to her and glancing at Lexi.His eyes widened when he saw her doing some children's drawings on the paper. The shapes were weird, and it was a drawing that looked like it was made by a six-year-old.“Since she woke, she had been acting like a six-year-old. I knew that fro

Perseus stared at Iris as she reminded him of the documents he should have signed. That was too much involvement already, but wasn’t he getting too many shares from the system?[Not really, host. You aren’t getting too many shares from me; we are bonded, and I will help you with anything.] Iris mumbled, her brows arching. [Except women, you get the girls yourself.]‘I know that.’ He snapped.[You can also give the shares to someone else, but not all of them.][The shares you got from AfterEnd could be transferred. All of the shares.]‘Okay?’ Perseus replied in a questioning manner, but then he had an idea of what he was going to do. ‘Now, can I get the pills?’[Sure.][You have successfully purchased the ‘Side-Effect Counter,’][You can find it in your left pocket.]Perseus avoided going through his pocket and smiled at Iris. “Thanks.’[Just doing what a system should.]Moments later, they were done cooking and were eating in the dining room. Sherry and Perseus sat on each side of Lex
My Money Spendrift System Chapter 311_Tom and Ryan
Ryan held a binocular in his hand and gazed at Perseus' front yard with it. He was standing on the balcony with Tom, holding a tray of peeled apples behind him.He was in the building next to Perseus. He had just bought the building since he hadn’t gotten the chance to speak to Perseus.Now he was sure that Perseus was at home. He had been standing there, and so Perseus drove in. He pulled down the binoculars and took the apple that Tom was handing him.Taking a huge bite from the apple, juice dripped down his chin, which he casually wiped with the back of his hand even though Tom was handing a napkin to him. He returned to look at the villa through the binoculars.“I don’t get it,” Tom said, after being quiet for a long time. He had been watching Ryan for a long time, and all Ryan did was stare at the building as he could see through it. “You have been staring at the building for hours, and now that he is back, aren’t you going to say hi?”Ryan didn’t respond; he kept on munching on
My Money Spendrift System Chapter 312_Babysitter
“Did you invite anyone over?” Perseus asked, glancing back at Sherry.Sherry shook her head. “I didn’t.”“Two men are ringing the doorbell.”He tried to remember where he had seen the guy. There was no way anyone wouldn’t have noticed someone that skinny in a crowded place, yet he had no idea where he had met him.Sherry left the bed and appeared next to him in seconds. She stared at the screen and back at Perseus. “I think they are our neighbors; I met them earlier when they moved in. Truth be told, it was the skinny guy who made me see them. He was pulling on a large bag that I thought was going to injure him somehow.”"Surprisingly, he took those heavy bags up himself. I was quite stunned because I wasn’t expecting him to.” She continued.Neighbors? Perseus had no idea the villa next to them wasn’t occupied. He hadn’t had any close relationships with his neighbors; they only exchanged greetings, so this was all new to him.“Perhaps they are here to ask for something. Let’s let them
My Money Spendrift System Chapter 313_Ryan...
Sherry’s eyes widened when she realized the men weren’t his friends. She shot a glare at Ryan, who quickly averted his gaze.“Well, you wouldn’t call us friends, would you?” Ryan muttered, trying to lighten the mood. “But let’s forget about that for now. We’re neighbors, so let’s enjoy what I brought.”Sherry looked up at Perseus, her eyes questioning. “Is it okay to let them stay?”Tom interjected, “We’re already in. But you can still ask us to leave.” His tone made it clear that he preferred that option.“Shut up!” Ryan snapped, swatting Tom’s head lightly. “I need to talk to him.”Perseus glanced at Sherry and then nodded. “Alright. We can entertain them.”A few minutes later, they were all seated around the table. Perseus handed a piece of meat to Lexi, while Sherry savored the fish. Tom and Ryan helped themselves to the drinks Perseus offered.‘Can I get more information about Ryan?’ Perseus asked Iris.[Sure, host.] A panel appeared in front of Perseus as Iris navigated it.[He

Perseus held Ryan’s gaze, both of them refusing to look away. However, after a few minutes of silence, Ryan decided to look away.“How do you know about my parents?” Perseus questioned. “Have you been investigating me—or perhaps stalking me?”With a soft chuckle, Ryan turned his back to Perseus. “It’s awful to think that you don’t know me, even if I have been watching you.”“Pardon?”“I am not going to deny it anymore.” Ryan glanced over his shoulder to look at Perseus. “I have been watching you since you were in the sixth grade.”Perseus fell into step with Ryan. “That long?”Ryan’s eyes widened, expecting Perseus to call him a freak, but Perseus was so used to meeting different people that he didn't care if it was weird.“Yep.” Ryan nodded. “But that isn’t why I am here. I have always wanted to meet with you and speak to you the way we are speaking now. However, I have something more important to tell you.”“How do you know about my parents?” Perseus inquired. “Judging from your app

“No, he isn’t. He died the same day as your parents. He was kidnapped and tortured to death. I felt nothing when I stared at his grave at his funeral. If anything, I was glad that he was gone because I could escape such an awful place.”[He was a psychopath from a very young age,] Iris noted. [He was the happiest he had been at his dad’s funeral, smiling and beaming all through the day.]Perseus remained expressionless as he absorbed all of this. “Aren’t you curious about who did that to your parents?”Ryan shook his head. “I am not. As long as they don’t come after me, we are good.”“I am sure they will come after you at any moment,” Perseus told him. “If our parents were involved in the same project, then you are also being targeted. It is only a matter of time before they come for us. So I think I will make a deal with you.”Ryan's eyes widened. “Really?”“Yes. As long as we get to work together and take down the company our parents worked for, Okay?” Perseus asked, peering at Ryan
My Money Spendrift System Chapter 316_Snake Castle
Perseus yawned, stretching his back as far as it could go. He adjusted his shoulders and put on the apron. Picking up a pot, he placed it on the stove and began cooking. Eris and Sherry were asleep since they had spent the whole night taking care of Lexi, who had refused to go to bed. “I can’t believe three days have gone by like that.” He mumbled, grabbed the knife, and began chopping the vegetables. Three days had gone by since he last spoke to Ryan. All he did in the past three days was watch Lexi while the others went to school. It had been a tough ride, and he was glad that he would be able to go on with his tasks.The day was when Lexi was going to recover, and he couldn’t wait to show her all of the embarrassing things she had done. [Good morning, host!] Iris greeted her, her voice chirping like the early morning birds. “Good morning, Iris.” He responded. [You have unlocked five missions for staying at home for three days without heading out.]“How can missions be unlocked

Chapter 470_Finale.
Two years later, Perseus was at the airport, having just landed back in his home country after traveling full-time for two years. He hadn’t heard from anyone during that time, as he’d been constantly changing his number while traveling. He had successfully visited 100 countries and would have continued if not for being called home by his aunt.“Perseus!” Sherry’s voice made him flinch as she called out to him.It had been two years since they last spoke. After the game, he had vanished, claiming he wanted to travel.[She waited for you, Iris noted. I doubt the others did.][He glanced at her. <
Chapter 469_Winner
Perseus smiled at the cheering crowd, then turned his gaze to the other side of the audience. His eyes widened in embarrassment when he spotted his aunt and Eriane, waving an old, embarrassing photo of him.His aunt was cheering louder than the teenage girls around her, almost as if she were a teenager herself.He wondered how she even knew about the game and its location since he hadn’t invited her. He was sure he’d be scolded later, but he didn’t mind. Shifting his attention away from her, Perseus walked to his gaming seat.As soon as they all sat down, Perseus glanced at the opposing team, just centimeters away. Sam, one of the opposing players, grinned at him, then gave Perseus the middle finger and mouthed, "Loser. We all know how terrible you are at gaming. Stop using your handsome face

‘What is my chance of winning now?’ Perseus questioned.Iris glanced at a panel, her eyes widening in shock. [79%][What am I seeing? You have upgraded to level 20 for discovering Forest's secret and finding a way to defeat him.] She squealed.[Is this really true?]A glint of relief slowly washed over Iris. There was hope that Perseus could finally defeat the man who had long wanted his life.[You can beat him now;] Iris claimed. [Just breathe properly.][His skills have been sealed with all of the points you have left. He won’t be able to use them against you anymore.] Iris announced.Perseus glanced at her, and a t

Forest leaned in, his eyes cold and calculating. "This isn't just a fight. It's a battle of life and death. I often wonder why your parents gave the power I wanted most to you. I’ve waited for years to see if you’re worthy of the power you possess. But if this is all you have, then you’re not worthy and are just a piece of useless dirt occupying space."Before Perseus could react, Forest flung him across the room like a ragdoll. Perseus crashed to the ground, pain radiating through his body despite Iris’ efforts to heal him.[Perseus, we can’t keep this up much longer!] Iris warned. [You need to find a way to defeat him, or he’ll—]"I know," Perseus muttered, forcing himself to his feet. His vision blurred, but he refused to back down. "I know, Iris. But I’m not giving up. Not yet."Forest approached him slowly, almost leisurely. "So, what will it be, Perseus? Will you continue to fight and prove yourself? Or will you admit defeat and accept that you’re not ready for this?"“If you ad

[You can! You idiot!] Iris yelled.Perseus snapped out of his thoughts and dodged the attack by moving to the side as quickly as he could. This time, he didn’t hold back his power and unleashed it to the maximum.[Good job.]The man’s eyes glinted with admiration. “Aren’t you a little thing?” he asked. “I get to see someone I can actually fight with without killing them first. This is wonderful. You’re amazing!”Perseus gritted his teeth. The way the man spoke, it was clear he was looking down on him. “What is your name?”The man was taken aback by the sudden question. “Why are you asking your killer their name?”“I just wanted to know the name of the person I’m going to kill before I kill them,” Perseus replied. “Is it that hard?”The man’s lips curled. “Fine. My name is Forest. Not a common name, I guess.”Forest? Perseus’ eyes darted to Iris. ‘Analyze him with the name.’[I am unable to analyze him.] Iris said. [I tried when he arrived, but it was impossible.]“Let’s continue with
Chapter 465_Run
[Your death is near, host.] Iris said, appearing next to Perseus, her gaze fixed on Aera.[Why are you following her? Shouldn’t you be in the game?]Perseus glanced at Iris. ‘I should be in the game, but she insisted on treating my injuries first.’[You have to leave her and level up!] Iris cried. [I have no idea what’s happening, but the panel is blinking more furiously than before.][Your death is really imminent! You need to listen to me and run!]‘I’m not running,’ Perseus replied. ‘That man killed one of my family members and went on with his life. Now, he’s come after me, leaving Zeppelin out of the fight. If I run and he can’t find me, he’ll go after Zeppelin and kill him.’Iris’ eyes widened. [If you don’t run, there’s a high chance you’ll die.]‘I know that.’[Why are you with her then?]‘I can’t let Zeppelin face the same fate as our parents.’[It won’t take long for you to reach level 20.] Iris retorted.‘I have something he doesn't have.’[And what’s that?]‘I have you and
Chapter 464_Game
Tossing in bed, Perseus looked away from Iris. “You don’t have to apologize, Iris. Even if I were to die, it wouldn’t be today anyway.”Iris scowled at him. [What did you just say?]“I said if I were to die, I wouldn’t—”His words were cut off as an electric current surged through him. The shock was so intense that he trembled all over, and when it stopped, steam was rising from his body.[That’s what you get for thinking about death, host!] Iris bellowed. [Do you know that both Lint and I will be gone if you die? Do you know how many people will be sad when you die?]Perseus flinched and slowly turned to lie on his back. Seeing the annoyed look on Iris’s face made him want to laugh.“I was only joking,” Perseus muttered. “I won’t die. I promise.”[You idiot!] Iris yelled, watching Perseus laugh. [If you die, I will kill you!]“How are you going to kill someone who’s already dead?”Two days later.“Are you ready?” Eris demanded, poking her head through the door to look at her teammat

Ethan handed his phone to Perseus, who glanced at the picture. It was indeed him. They must have gotten it from security footage somewhere.Perseus nodded. “Alright.”“See you later,” Ethan said with a grin. “Don’t go anywhere alone.”“Okay.”Perseus stared at Iris. “I thought I told you to deactivate all of the cameras.”[I did,] she claimed. [I might have forgotten to turn the others off.]Perseus headed for the door since the game of the day would begin soon.[You were wearing a mask though. They wouldn’t be able to recognize you,] Iris said. [There’s nothing to worry about.]Upon reaching the general living room, Perseus met with the others, who were peering at him as if he had something on his face.“You were late, Perseus,” Liliana said.Liliana was standing in front of them with a woman with long lashes next to her. She grinned at Perseus, a smile crossing her face.“I had something to do,” Perseus replied. “I apologize for arriving late.”“No worries,” Liliana said. “Now that
Chapter 462_Back to the Mansion
Perseus turned around to look at the man who had just spoken, ready to throw a punch if necessary.“Are you questioning me?” Cynthia demanded.From the look on her face, she seemed nothing like the woman she was with the leader. Perhaps seeing the man who had made her life a living hell taken by the police had given her some sort of confidence.“Nope,” he replied. “I was just worried if he would be able to lead the girls to his car. They are quite fierce.”“We know that,” Cynthia retorted. “Back to your job.”The men closed the door without any more questions, and Perseus glanced at her. He wanted to ask why she hadn’t let him use his fists but decided against it. In no time, the room was filled with women.Perseus gritted his teeth at the sight of them looking at him with terrified expressions. He wondered what all these women must have gone through to be that scared.“I will be letting them out now,” Perseus told Cynthia.“I will keep watch of the others,” Cynthia said before headin
