Regressor With A Billionaire System A Pitch At Pineapple
****Pineapple Headquarters, Silicon Valley.About two hours later we finally arrived at our destination.From the helicopter, Michael and I could see the sprawling, ultra modern skyscraper complex, which had the pineapple logo largely engraved on the front.As we got closer to the rooftop, we could see the pilot being guided down by some men as he skillfully landed the helicopter on the helipad.We disembarked from the helicopter, and brushed ourselves off.Standing right there in front of me, was the head of pineapple himself, Stephen Johnson, along with a small group of his high level executives.As we approached him and the executives, i extended my hand for a firm handshake and said, "Good afternoon, Mr. Johnson. It's an honor to meet you and your esteemed colleagues. Thank you for welcoming us to Pineapple Headquarters. We're very excited about the possibility of working together." Stephen Johnson, a charismatic man in his mid-fifties with a warm smile, grasped my hand firmly,
Regressor With A Billionaire System Surprise Quest
****The night of the same day.I returned back to the Corporate Assessment Gauntlet hotel feeling motivated.Things didn’t go as I had planned, but it was all my fault for not preparing and practicing for the pitch more adequately, as well as making proper research and taking into account a bunch of other things.This didn’t bring me down emotionally. I chastised myself, and would prepare more adequately for the next meeting.Negotiations hadn’t broken between Blackstar and Pineapple, we had adjourned it to a later date, as they needed time to consider our offer and take into account a lot of other stuff.I was fine with this, I would have enough time to focus on other important things, like the third challenge.‘I wonder what it has to offer, the official said the challenge would begin tomorrow, and I currently don’t have any information of the details of the challenge, so I guess I’ll just have to wait and see,’ I thought to myself.I finally walked into the lobby as I was in the c

****I woke up the next morning feeling rejuvenated, all my stress from the previous day had been alleviated and I was ready to take on whatever the day had to offer.It was around five in the morning, and I stretched out on the bed before getting up.Eleanor was still sleeping and we hadn’t gotten an announcement from the officials yet, so I thought about what I could do to pass the time.NOTICEDaily Quest: Complete a 30-minute workout. (Status: Incomplete)Reward for completing the Daily Quest "Complete a 30-minute Workout":Enhanced Physical Fitness: Gain improvements in strength, endurance, and overall physical condition.Strength +1Endurance +1Exp +10Penalty for failure to complete the Daily Quest:Physical Deterioration: Experience a temporary decrease in physical performance, resulting in reduced strength and endurance.Strength -1Endurance -1‘Well that works out for me then, I was just going to do that anyway,’ I thought to myself.I’d been completing my daily quests dil
Regressor With A Billionaire System Sabotage
Looking around I noticed that I wasn’t the only one who was calm about the situation.Everyone else seemed to have an indifferent opinion toward the situation, and handled the news pretty easily, even Eleanor.These twenty two of us currently standing in that room were the best of the best, elites, intellectuals in terms of quick thinking and accurate analysis.Now the competition would only get harder from here, the small fry had already been eliminated, and I was facing tougher opponents now.‘I like this, to be able to compete at such a high level. I just want to have fun this round, these are all people who once upon a time I would look up to, and try to emulate their lifestyles as students, but now, we are all equals and I consider them as fair game,’ I thought to myself.We waited once again for the rules to be announced. After a short while, another official mounted the podium to speak to us.“Now candidates, I'm here to relay the rules of the third challenge to you. You are ad
Regressor With A Billionaire System Betrayal
I chose to remain calm, I needed to be as calm as possible in this situation so I could think of a way out.“Eleanor, what happened here?” I asked, the concern was evident in my voice.“I-I’m not sure Damon,” she responded.‘Even if someone wanted to sabotage us, how did they know the location of our room, and after that, how did they manage to get in?’ I thought to myself.“Eleanor, can I see your key please?” I asked quickly.“Yeah sure I guess,” she responded and dipped her hand in her pocket, bringing out a shiny metal key.I brought out mine as well, and they were identical, so now we were both more and more perplexed.Both of our flash drives, which contained all our information, were missing.This basically meant that all the information we had gathered before which was worth ten points, could be distributed, or worse. If we didn’t get it back we wouldn’t have anything to turn in at the end of the challenge, we would be left with nothing.I began cleaning the room looking for w
Regressor With A Billionaire System An Intricate Plan
****[Jake’s POV]Later that evening, Eleanor and I met at a secluded corner of the building’s rooftop garden.The view of the city below from up there was mesmerizing. The cars moving around, heading to their various locations, the traffic lights, the scenery, it was like the city had come to life.My brow furrowed as I recounted Damon’s desperate and defeated behavior during our last encounter.Eleanor listened intently, with an expression of a mixture of sadness and determination on her face.“I met him on his knees, his whole demeanor, the look on his face, it was a pitiful scene to experience. He didn’t try to argue or fight back, he just walked away and said I’d won.”I gritted my teeth in anger as I recalled the look on his face.‘I wanted more, even though I won and broke his spirit, he was just going to roll over and accept it? This was supposed to be a challenge! I took him as my rival and this is what I get?’ I thought to myself.“I can’t help but feel pity for him,” Eleano
Regressor With A Billionaire System The Results
****Three days later.I’d put my trading system into full effect now, and I was running it like a business.I recalled one of the events that happened recently, the first trade I had with someone else in the third challenge.****Mia's eyes narrowed as she listened intently to my request, her expression focused and determined. "So, you need me to research other candidates that you can potentially trade with?" she repeated, her voice betraying a hint of curiosity."Exactly," I confirmed, leaning forward in my chair. "I'm hoping to identify candidates who might have useful information or resources to share. I need someone with excellent research skills, and I know I can count on you to get the job done."She nodded, her confidence growing. "Consider it done, sir. I'll compile a list of potential candidates and provide you with detailed information on their strengths, weaknesses, and potential areas of expertise that might be valuable to you."I smiled, feeling reassured by Mia's compet
Regressor With A Billionaire System How: Part One
I turned my eyes to Damon to see his reaction to the results about to be released.‘This is my victory, there’s nothing he can do now to change that. I’ve crafted this system to perfection, and I know the outcome of everything,’ I thought to myself.“Defeating him turned out to be not much of a challenge for me after all anyway, I guess I overestimated him. I should never have thought that he would be a worthy opponent for me, no one is,” I muttered out."And now," the instructor declared, his voice ringing with authority, "the moment you've all been waiting for. The scores from the third round...I’ll be announcing the top five in ascending order,” he said.“In fifth place, Eleanor Windsor, in fourth place EmilyAnderson, in third place, Mia Rodriguez, in second place, Jake Thompson, and finally, the winner of the corporate assessment gauntlet, Damon Darhk!” The organizer screamed at the top of his voice.An eerie silence descended upon the crowd as the whole room went silent.

A Vantage Point
“Genesis, I don’t intend to engage them in a prolonged battle. My plan is simple: I’ll transport them to a specific location in another world, use Starforge to unleash an all-out attack, and then transport myself back to my world before they can retaliate. I won’t give them a chance to regroup. It will be swift and decisive.”I stood firm in my conviction, determined to see this through, despite the risks.Genesis remained silent for a few moments, processing the information.Genesis let out a long sigh, almost as if the system itself was struggling to come to terms with my proposed plan.[Damon, with the potential for so many things to go wrong, I must give you a more honest assessment of the situation. Based on my calculations, I estimate your chances of success at only 10%. This is an extremely risky endeavor. If even one variable does not go as planned, you could be facing a formidable enemy without my support, and your odds of survival would diminish drastically.]I took a deep b
A Daring Plan
As the garments glowed, Genesis's voice rang out once again, its appraisal clear and concise.[Holy Garments of the High Pontiff (Legendary, Level 70)][Effect: +300 Intelligence, +5% Holy Damage, +15% Resistance to Dark Magic, Spell: Holy Shield, Blessing of the Pontiff]I considered the garments carefully, recognizing the potential they offered me. While I couldn't use the Grimoire, these robes could prove invaluable in my journey.It was from one high level equipment to another, but I couldn't keep this up for long.Considering the amount of damage they could potentially cause to my world, as well as the constant sneak attacks, I knew I had to get moving…quickly.However, there was still one more thing I needed to confirm."Genesis, the skills I obtain each time I'm attacked, are they permanent?” I conveyed my thoughts toward it expecting a response.[Damon, the skills you obtain through the Counter skill are indeed temporary. Cognos provided you with the ability to create these t

[Skill Created: Celestial Shield (Lv. 1)][Skill Activated: Celestial Shield (Lv. 1)]A shimmering, silver-white energy shield manifested around me, just in time to deflect the beam of light with a resounding CLANG!Though I still felt the intense heat, the shield held, protecting me from the destruction of the safe house. My whole line of sight was enveloped in smoke, and my vision was hazy.Suddenly, another panel manifested before my eyes.[Skill Created: Celestial Gust (Lv. 1)]I raised my hands, channeling the power of the wind to clear the smoke around me. With a simple gesture, I activated the new skill:[Skill Activated: Celestial Gust (Lv. 1)]A burst of air rushed through the safe house, scattering the smoke and revealing the aftermath of the destruction.The whole surrounding area was left in ashes, and right next to me was a horrible sight.Remains of Vlasdilav’s body lay there on the floor, a pile of bones nearly burnt to ashes.I felt the anger well up within me, whoeve
Incinerated
As Vladislav shared his experience with the Player Wars, I couldn't help but grin, a spark of recognition in my eyes. "I've been through it too," I admitted, nodding in solidarity."So you know what it's like then," he said, a sense of camaraderie growing between us."Yes. The Player Wars are no joke. They're brutal, but I survived. I'm still here." I said, a sense of pride and resilience in my voice."Looks like we have more in common than we thought," Vladislav replied.Curious about the skills that made him such a formidable assassin, I asked, "So, what are your skills? What's your main specialty?"Vladislav's eyes narrowed as he considered my question. "Assassination, obviously. My skill set includes Shadow Cloak, which lets me become invisible for a limited time. Silent Stalker, which muffles my footsteps and masks my presence. And, of course, Bloodlust. The more enemies I kill, the stronger I become.""Not to mention my enhanced senses. There's also Silent Strike, which allows
Vladsilav
I still felt some sort of apprehension at the fact that the other person in pursuit had escaped, but that was beyond my power now.All I had to do now was focus on what came next, and honestly, I had no idea what to do.‘Genesis, if only you were here,’ I thought to myself. ‘You'd know what to do.’Just as I finished that thought, I was startled by a sudden notification in my mind.NOTICESystem upgrade completed. Rebooting.A progress bar appeared, counting from 0% to 100%.The progress bar steadily crept towards 100%, and I couldn't shake the thought that Genesis would once again be available to me. ‘It'll be back, I'm sure of it,’ I thought, and I felt a surge of optimism and relief washing over me. The assassin, sensing my distraction, cleared his throat. "Do you have a plan?" he asked, a hint of concern in his voice."For now, we return to the safe house. I'll need some time to think things through." My response seemed to placate the assassin, and he nodded in agreement.We mad
An Unexpected Alliance
He then explained the quest log that they all received to me.The assassin, still trembling, began to reveal the contents of the quest log that had been shared among all players. His voice shook as he explained that I had been marked as a target, and every player had been transported to this world with the sole purpose of eliminating me. According to the quest, until my demise, none of the players would be able to leave my world. They were granted unrestricted access to their skills, allowing them to utilize their full potential in their pursuit to end my life. The rewards for succeeding in this quest were immensely valuable, with each contributing player being granted a single wish.This revelation shed light on the relentless pursuit I had been facing from them, as well as the desperate lengths that the players were willing to go to claim their rewards. It became clear that, to them, my life was nothing more than a means to an end, a stepping stone to fulfilling their deepest d
A Death Mission
“Now it's my turn,” I said.The two men stared at me in horror, before making their moves.The assassin threw out some pouches to the floor which generated a dark mist, preventing me from seeing them.I brought out my wings and flapped them with so much might that it generated enough wind to disperse the mist.However, they were nowhere to be found.I closed my eyes and heightened my senses, searching intently for any hint that they might have decided to give away.By combining my Draconic senses with Thought Acceleration, I was able to comb the vast expanse of land in mere moments.Suddenly my ears picked something up to my left, it was the assassin, using yet another camouflage skill.I flew toward him at top speed and crashed into the ground right in front of him.I got up and paced angrily toward him. “Give me one good reason why I shouldn't kill you right now,” I said.The assassin, realizing he had been discovered, quickly activated a skill that shrouded him in an aura of dark e
A New Ability
A wave of confusion swept over me as I watched the two men recoil back in fear of me. "What's going on? Did you feel that too?" the assassin asked, a hint of uncertainty in his voice."Yes, I did," the other man replied, and he locked his eyes onto mine. "I don't know what he did, but he feels like an entirely different person from when I first faced him."I couldn't help but ponder their reactions. ‘Huh? Why did they suddenly back away from me? I don't feel any different from before, so what's wrong?’ I thought, perplexed by the situation.I decided to try contacting Genesis again, hoping to shed some light on the matter. ‘Genesis,’ I thought. However, once again, I received no response.The silence was as puzzling as the men's reactions, and I couldn't help but wonder what had changed. ‘This all began after my meeting with Cognos, what did he do?’ I thoughtDespite the lack of communication from Genesis, I knew I had to press on.“Tch, you snooze you lose, I'm about to steal my p
A New Power
Cognos looked at me with a mix of understanding and concern. "You must understand, young one, with great power comes great responsibility. The pursuit of power alone often leads to a dark and destructive path."I felt impatient, my mind was simply fixated on the quest he'd entrusted me with. "How am I supposed to carry out the quest you gave me then?" I asked, and the frustration was clear in my voice.Cognos paused, then reluctantly nodded. "Very well. If power is what you seek, I shall grant it to you. I will give you the power to counter anything that stands in your way."I stepped closer, with a look of curiosity mixing with anticipation. "How?" I asked."Come closer," he said. I complied, and he placed a hand on my head. A comforting warmth spread through me, soothing and invigorating at the same time. It felt like pure energy was flowing into me. When he finally removed his hand, the sensation remained, leaving me feeling stronger and more capable than ever before. I didn't kn
