No Life Without a System

Chapter 02

After chatting with the system, Kelvin Stewart was rewarded with a $210 introduction. He then rushed to his mother's place under the bridge. However, when he arrived there, he fell silent in shock, staring at the ruins of the collapsed bridge.

"Mom!"

Without hesitation, he ran towards the ruins, shifting the debris in search of his mother. Finally, he found his mother's badly injured and lifeless body.

Kelvin hugged his mother's head, holding her body in his lap with trembling. Frantically, he patted his mother's cheeks while shouting, "Mom! Wake up, Mom, don't leave me, I have no one else but you!"

Kelvin's tears flowed freely, falling onto his mother's lifeless face. He embraced his mother's body desperately. Just now he felt happy after getting the system, but now his mother was leaving him.

"System, please bring my mom back to life!" Kelvin really hoped that the system could do it, but ....

[Sorry, Master. The system predicted that Master's mother had died before Master got system. Master's mother's spirit had already left her body. Master's mother cannot be saved anymore.]

Hearing the system's answer, Kelvin could only surrender and cry. "Why is my life like this? What did I get the system for, if I don't have a family?"

[Be patient, Master. System can help Master to gain wealth, take revenge for all the crimes committed by Master's enemies, and also help Master to get a beautiful woman who will one day become Master's wife and family.]

Kelvin then clenched his hands into fists. He angrily clenched his jaw and said, "I want to take revenge on Zico. I want to torture him!"

[Alright, Master. Later the system will make that the Master's mission. Before carrying out the mission, please take a look at Master's status first.]

Suddenly, a holographic screen appeared in front of Kelvin.

[The hologram screen is only the Master who can see it.]

After Kelvin read his Character Status, the system said again.

[Is Master willing to accept the first mission from the system?]

[Yes/No]

The holographic screen that previously showed his Character Status, now changed to a button green that reads 'Yes', and a button red reads 'No'. Kelvin still looked confused by the hologram screen.

[Master can press the 'Yes' panel if Master are willing to accept the first mission from the system, and press the 'No' panel if Master are not.]

Kelvin immediately understood. Without hesitation, he immediately pressed the 'Yes' panel and agreed to the mission.

[Giving the first mission to the System Owner Master.]

[Mission: Bathe the corpse of Master's mother. After that, give her a cave cloth and bury her body at the nearest public cemetery.]

[The master has 3 hours to complete this mission. Please complete the mission on time if Master want to get rewards from the system.]

[Mission reward: $450 cash money.]

[Mission status: In progress.]

Knowing that the first mission from the system had started, Kelvin a slight smile even though his eyes were still filled with tears. Of course he would do that even if it wasn't a mission.

Deftly, Kelvin immediately rushed to carry out the mission. He picked up his mother's corpse and carried it out of the bridge ruins.

After Kelvin reached the highway, some people who saw him immediately rushed over to him, making Kelvin stop his steps.

A man wearing a black suit asked, "Is the person you're carrying a victim of the bridge collapse, kid?"

Kelvin replied, "She's my mother, sir. I need to bury my mother right away."

"Excuse me." Kelvin immediately continued his steps past the man.

"Let me help you. I'll bring your mother's body, kid," the man offered.

"No need, sir. I can do it myself." Kelvin replied without turning around and continued walking.

Since this was his mission, Kelvin wanted to do it himself. He took his mother's body to the mortuary. There he bathed her, wrapped his mother's corpse in cavan cloth, and did it all by himself without the help of the staff there, so the staff there didn't have the heart to ask for payment for the cavan cloth Kelvin used, they left it free because they felt sorry for the boy.

After that, Kelvin immediately rushed to the nearest public cemetery to bury his mother.

About two hours later, he had finally finished burying his mother's body. He did it all by himself without anyone's help.

[Congratulations, Master has successfully completed the mission!]

[Congratulations, Master leveled up!]

[Congratulations, Master earned 2 points!]

[Since Master has completed the mission without anyone's help, Master is entitled to a bonus reward of $300.]

[A balance of $700 has been added to Master's account.]

"Wooaah, that's a lot!" Kelvin opened his mouth. He was amazed that it was the first time he had earned that much money.

[This is just the beginning, Master. Eventually, Master will become a super rich man after completing many missions.]

"Alright, I'll always be eager to carry out the missions you give me!" Kelvin clenched his right fist, showing that he was getting excited about living with the system.

"Then, how do I withdraw the money?" asked Kelvin as he frowned.

[The system will disburse Master's money if Master wants to withdraw it. Master just need to say the amount Master want to withdraw.]

"Alright, then I'd like to withdraw $160 to buy school supplies and find a boarding house to live in."

[Alright, Master. The $160 withdrawal will be processed immediately.]

[Congratulations, Master's money was successfully disbursed!]

Suddenly, Kelvin's pants pocket felt thicker. At that instant Kelvin reached into his pocket, picked up the item that made his pocket feel thick, and after picking it up, it turned out to be money, money from the system that was successfully cashed out. In his opinion, this was truly a miraculous way of disbursing money

After the money was taken out of his pocket, he put the money back into his pocket and said, "Thank you, System."

[There is no need to thank you, Master. All the money generated was due to Master's hard work from the results of carrying out missions.]

After that, Kelvin ran towards the highway, and waited for a taxi car by the side of the road. A while later, a taxi finally passed by and he signaled by waving his right hand that he wanted to get in. The taxi car stopped, and the taxi driver invited Kelvin to get on.

Deftly, Kelvin climbed into the car and sat in the back seat. Then, the taxi driver asked, "Where are you going, kid?"

Kelvin replied, "To Kertek Market, sir. I want to go to Ajisaka Store."

Without further ado, the taxi driver immediately drove the car to Kertek Market. Every now and then Kelvin peeked out the window and he saw many cars passing by. After 20 minutes in the car, he finally arrived at Kertek Market.

Kelvin gave the taxi driver a $10 fare, then got out of the car and walked towards Ajisaka Store, which was not far from where the taxi car had stopped.

As he entered the Ajisaka Shop, he immediately widened his eyes when he saw Zico who was also shopping at this shop.
