“I am not a ghost!” Perseus raised his hand in the air. “I just want to check out of the hospital; I am not dead yet.”

However, the woman fainted before he could say anything else. He glanced around them to see that the other nurses were running over to him alongside the doctor.

“How come he is alive?” The doctor demanded as he froze, seeing who it was. “I diagnosed him dead last night!”

"Perhaps he has a twin brother.” A nurse muttered as she shivered in fear.

Perseus wanted to tell them that he didn't have a twin, but he saw the expression on their faces. He changed his mind; he had no idea how he was going to explain the system to them.

“Yes, I have a twin. He died last night; we already took him to his funeral.” He lied.

[Warning! You have a minute left if you keep on wasting time. Say goodbye to your little cock. Hmph!]

The doctor and nurses let out a sigh of relief. “You just have to pay for the fee of him being in the hospital.”

“And how much is it?”

“Five hundred thousand dollars.”

Five hundred! Perseus's teeth gritted. “Are there any patients that need anything?”

The doctor adjusted his glasses. “Yes, there is.” The doctor turned around and pointed to a woman who was sitting on a chair and clutching tightly to a boy in her arms. “She needs money for his operation.”

“Then I will pay for it!” Perseus declared. “I will pay for her son's medical expenses, everything!”

[Ten seconds left.]

“Give me three million dollars in cash.” He told the system.

Before he knew it, a bag of money was by his feet. He grabbed the bag and opened it as the countdown warned him about the time left. He turned the bag and poured the money on the floor.

“Three million in cash, is that enough?” He bellowed.

“Yes.” The doctor's eyes were on the money that was on the floor. “The woman's son's treatment costs 2.5 million dollars.”

Perseus glanced at the woman and then at that doctor. “Is it settled now?”

The doctor raised his head to look at him. “Yes, it is all settled. You are free to go after signing this.”

[Three seconds left.]

He signed the documents after snatching them from the doctor and sighed in relief, saving himself from the wrath of the system.

[RING!] Mission completed; reward had been granted. Punishment had been brushed off.

Great! He was grinning from ear to ear as he headed out of the hospital. Before he left, the doctors were informing the woman about who paid the bill.

As soon as she heard that, she hurried over to thank him, but he had already left.

Perseus walked down the road, the wind blowing off his hair backward. He wasn't like he was before; he had a real smile on his face.

Now was the time that he was going to show everyone who the real Perseus Damon was. He wasn't going to spare everyone who looked down on him; he was going to make them pay for all they did.

[DING DONG!]

[Since you accomplished your mission, the system is going to take its real shape now.]

Perseus stopped as he waited for the system to take its real shape. The system's shape finally changed and took the form of a female.

His jaw dropped in astonishment at how beautiful she was. He was drooling when the same electric current hit him again.

[I knew from the start that you were a pervert.]

It was then that he knew that the electric current he had experienced earlier was from the system.

“I was just staring. He shrugged. "Besides, you should be glad that I could only see you.”

[Nonsense!]

He chuckled as he walked back towards the dormitory.

[RING! You have a new mission.]

Your current balance is $97,000,000. Burn it all; spend all of it in 2 days.

[Reward: 1 full stats point and 500 points.]

[Punishment: An embarrassing video of you on a streaming platform.]

“What? Don't you know how to pick a punishment?”

The system glared at him, and he pouted as it disappeared. He walked back to the dormitory, wondering what he was going to do with the money.

As soon as he walked into the dorm, both of his roommates had their heads glued to the screen.

“Who are you? We are busy.” They muttered without turning their heads to look at him.

He didn't listen to them and took a step forward. One of them raised his head to look at him.

“We just lost a friend; we are tired of you all barging in to tell us sorry." He froze as he stared at the person in front of him.

“Who is it?” The second one demanded and raised his head two.

Both boys jumped off their seats and stared at him.

“How is it possible?!"

“You were dead!”

“I saw the livestream; I saw you taken to the hospital and declared dead by your girlfriend!”

Perseus wasn't surprised, although he hadn't expected her to talk about him on her lifestream.

“Tobias, Orion, I am not dead.” He announced. “I was just framed.”

“But how?” Tobias inquired. “We saw your face; we saw how injured you were.”

“We also heard everything after you were dumped by Celia. You got into an accident, and she live-streamed the whole incident by the time you were sent to the hospital.”

Tobias' fist tightened. “That bitch! She said that you committed suicide because she broke up with you.”

Orion's eyes were bloodshot and puffy from crying. “She spoke about how you stalked her and threatened to kill her if she didn't date you. Then you committed suicide when you failed to make her yours.”

“You should stay indoors; all those crazy fans are going to hurt you! I told you that the b*tch wasn't good enough for you. Look how she framed you.”

    “Guys, guys, calm down.” Perseus walked over to them and stroked both of their heads.His roommates were the only ones who genuinely liked him. They had been friends since high school, and they turned out to be roommates in college.“It will be alright since she tried to kill me and ruin my reputation to make her feel good about herself. I will give her back tenfold.” His lips curled up into a smirk.“What do we do next?” Orion asked.“I want to be seen as healthy and alive, and I guess that it is going to ruin her too.”“Do you need a livestreamer to go with us?” Tobias inquired.Perseus peered at Tobias. “Who do you suggest?”He hadn't thought about getting a livestreamer, but it would be great to have one that would show everyone that he was alive.“Sherry Kim.” Orion blurted it out. “She is the most popular and beautiful livestreamer in the country.”“And how do you think we can pay her?” Tobias retorted. “She attends this school, and she barely looks at us.”Sherry Kim's name ran

You can make transfers from there.]“What would you do if I told you the price? Aren't you that poor trash from school?”“Just name a price, and I w

    “Geez!” Perseus rubbed his face with his palm. “Why do I always have to deal with bitches like you?”Sherry froze with her eyes glued to the screen. His friends looked like they had just been hit by a truck as they stared at the screen.“How…how…is that even possible?” Sherry demanded. “I thought you were poor; how come?”“That was a fake alert, right?” Laura demanded as her head snapped back in his direction. “It is impossible for you to have that amount of money.”Perseus let out a sigh. “I knew that you would doubt me.” He raised his head. “Waiter, can I get my bills?”The crowd began murmuring again.'He is so confident, I doubt that he is poor, like Laura said.’'She is just jealous that her friend has a rich brother, unlike her, who has a bad brother.’The words pierced Laura like a sword, and she guessed she still had a chance against him. “It seems that he made a fake transaction. If he would be able to pay for all of his bills, then I will do as he says.”“Bitch! You made a d

    “What was that about?” Tobias inquired as soon as they got to the school compound. “Why do you have so much money?”“We know that you aren't rich.” Orion added. “How come you did that to Laura and wasted fifteen million today?”Orion and Tobias were pulling their hair in frustration as they glanced at Perseus, whose electric current had just stopped hitting him.[I let you go because I affected Sherry too.]Perseus frowned at the system and was about to lash out at it when Sherry grabbed his hand and peered at him.“Did you feel that?” She inquired.Pretending not to know what she was talking about. Perseus shook his head.“Feel what?”She released his arm. “Nothing.”“Oh, okay.”She clutched her hand tightly to her chest; she felt the current pass through her, and since he was holding her, She thought that he felt it too.Perseus raised a brow at her before staring at his friends, who were glaring at him. His eyes widened, and he wondered why they were glaring at him.“What?” He shru

    Sherry frowned at the ladies who were pulling at her arm. Perseus, on the other hand, only stared at her.“Ma'am, what kind of villa do you want?"“I can show you the ones that you want."“As long as you are loaded with money, let me attend to you.”Sherry tried to pull her hand away from this grip. “Ladies wait!”The ladies ignored her, and they got into a serious argument. Seizing the opportunity, Sherry pulled away from their grip and hurried over to Perseus.“Master, I am sorry that they ignored you for me.” She apologized. “Do you want us to check somewhere else?”Perseus shook his head. “Okay.”Just as they were about to leave, another woman who hadn't been with the others that came to him before approached him.She had a bright smile on her face and didn't look like she was going to look down at him.“Sir, do you want to check out the pictures of the villas?”Perseus glanced back at the lady. "Sherry, it seems like we wouldn't have to leave anymore.”Perseus followed the lady t

    Everyone's gaze was focused on the direction of the manager's office. The ladies' attention was on the spot and when the manager didn't come after the countdown. The ladies burst into a fist of laughter.“Who do you think you are?” One of the ladies scoffed. “The manager would be here.”Another mimicked Sherry's voice. “In three, two, one.”That made the ladies' laughter increase; they kept on laughing until tears were leaking through their eyes. Sherry's face reddened in anger, her gaze lingering in the direction of the manager's office.‘Hasn't he seen the livestream?’ She thought.“You are just a spoiled brat who thinks that everything works her way.”“I thought you said the CEO would be here; why isn't he here yet?”The snickers of the ladies furrowed Perseus' brows. He studied the reaction on Sherry's face; she had only wanted to help him, but she was getting insulted instead.She stood her ground with her head hanging high as she waited. Just a little more time, and they would s

    Uncle? The word pierced through Perseus; he had never thought that Sherry did that to her own uncle's company because of him. Every other person's jaw dropped in astonishment at the revelation.Sherry sprinted towards the man, whom they called CEO Quinn. She had a bright smile on his face, and as he got to her, he stroked her head.“Why are you here?” He asked. “Why did you give my company such a bad review on the internet?"Sherry stepped back, her fingers clasping and unclasping, and she looked at him nervously. She never knew that her uncle owed LMM; she was a terrible niece. Now that he was here, she could turn the tables. An evil grin spread across her face.“They bullied me!” She turned around and pointed her fingers at the ladies alongside the manager.Fear crowded all of the people that she pointed her finger at. It was then that they realized that they had stepped on the tail of a tiger.The manager was the worst one of them; he fell to his knees. Clutching tightly to his hea

    Sherry held his hand as they walked out of the company; her uncle was walking behind them. He had successfully purchased a villa, and the system panel was in front of him.[Current Amount: 54,700,000.][Missions: Important and Side.][Skills: 0]Perseus knew that if he wanted to stand against Roman in the future, he had to at least get a skill. Then he shifted the panel to check for any signs of getting a skill.He halted at the mission panel; the rewards of the mission were large. He was going to earn two skills, one ancient and one defense. He wondered what type of skills he was going to get.Now he wanted to complete the mission as soon as possible. However, he wonders what the system meant by his forming an alliance.Were the missions connected to each other, and he had to complete them all before he got the rewards?[They are connected, yes. Do you have to complete it all to get the rewards? No.]“So I have to take it one step at a time?” He inquired.Iris shook her head. [The mi

    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. <

    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

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.

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

[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

[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

    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
