William blinked as the light surrounding him began to fade, the familiar, comforting warmth of reality returning to him.The oppressive darkness and twisted landscape were gone, replaced by the cool air and the solid ground beneath his feet.He felt the weight of exhaustion settle over him, but with it came a profound sense of relief. He had won.As his vision cleared, William found himself standing at the entrance of the Death Tower, the same place where their perilous journey had begun. He wasn’t alone. Around him, the surviving hunters appeared, emerging from their own battles, their faces a mixture of disbelief, exhaustion, and profound relief.They were fewer in number—much fewer. What had once been a group of sixty had been reduced to a small, ragged handful. They looked at each other, their eyes wide with surprise and then, slowly, with growing joy as they realized what had happened. They had survived. They had made it out alive.Carson was the first to speak, his voice hoars
The world had changed, but it was slowly mending. The scars left by the apocalypse were deep, and the memories of those harrowing days would never truly fade, but humanity was resilient. Two weeks had passed since the hunters had emerged victorious from the Death Tower, and in that short time, the earth had already begun to heal.The sky was a clear blue, the clouds soft and white, drifting peacefully above a world that had been plunged into darkness for so long. The air, once thick with the stench of decay and the virus that had plagued humanity, was now clean and fresh, a reminder of the life that had been restored. Birds, absent during the apocalypse, had returned, their songs filling the air with a sense of normalcy that had been absent for far too long.The government, once crippled by the chaos, had reestablished itself. Leaders who had survived the ordeal stepped forward, determined to rebuild the world that had been nearly destroyed. They worked tirelessly, organizing effo
Storm Family Mansion.Today, Lady Storm, head of the Storm Family, was celebrating her 70th birthday. All her children, grandchildren as well as invited guests from top families were present.The hall was lively as guest after guests rushed to present their gifts with proud and happy smiles on their faces."Grandma, this is a jade necklace that casts a calm energy around the body to keep you warm at all times.""Here is a $700,000 bag. It might look small, but it is durable and has good space.""Grandma, here is the magic robe you always wanted. It is rare and was forged by a trillionaire. I was able to obtain it for five million from an auction."The face of Lady Storm glowed with pride and happiness as she received each gifts.The hall was busy, with many millionaires present. The Storm family doesn't lack millionaires among their myriad connections. Each man dressed richly in nice branded clothes and suits.However, one young man stood out as he was dressed in casual black pants an
"What! Young master Donald is remarkable, he's willing to help the Storm Clan establish a relationship with Starkcom, the biggest company in Astoria City!""Starkcom is incredibly difficult to establish a relationship with, one must have a groundbreaking condition to sign a contract with them.""But yet, young master Donald wants to help the Storm family with just a simple marriage proposal! Heck, I would even give up everything I have just to take that offer."Clarissa overheard others, and her expression turned even colder. "Donald, stop pestering me. I don't like you!" she yelled at him and helped William up, intending to lead him out of the room to treat his injuries."Wait!" Lady Storm finally spoke, and the hall became silent. Everyone turned to look at her."Clarissa, I will declare this in public since you have decided to publicly shame my family. In one week's time, there would be a lot of changes, and you might be at the bottom last. However, you can change this by divorcing

Am I dreaming? Why is there so much money there, my eyes are getting fuzzy because of the amount of Zeros!" William didn't even know what to do at a moment like this and could only stare at the System. He was only one who could see this system, if there was anyone in the room, they would think that William has gone crazy.

"William, what do you need one hundred thousand dollars for?"A harsh voice asked William, belonging to Charles, Clarissa's older brother. He has a large body build, and although he might not look it, he actually is one of the strongest elites in Astoria."I need the money for something very important. I swear that I'll pay you back after two days.""Humph, you plan to take our money and run away! I know that is what you want to do. You think I am my foolish sister that you can easily deceive."Hearing Charles call his wife 'foolish', William couldn't help but glare at him. However, he didn't retort."Well, two days from now is me and Clarissa's marriage anniversary, and I would like to get her gifts.""You want to get her gifts? Now I know you are really sick in the head. Two days from now, she would fail to sign a contract with Starkcom and would be thrown out of the Storm family. Even your gift won't wash away the pain she would feel that day," Charles mocked."Gifts aren't to wash
Starkcom Hotel:The hotel is one of the many businesses owned by the biggest business group in Astoria."This is the first time I am seeing it, and the view is indeed heavenly as described," William remarked, gazing at the magnificent hotel.He then started walking inside. According to the information he got online, someone he knew was actually working here."Good day, sir, welcome to Starkcom hotel. May I know how I can be of help to you?" The receptionist asked without even looking at William as she was focused on the monitor in front of her."Julian," William smiled and let out.The receptionist looked up, how did this person know her name?"William??" A surprised look appeared on her face as she found this face extremely familiar."Yeah, it's me, Julian, long time no see.""Oh, William, it's actually you. What are you doing here?""I am here for something important," William answered with a smile as he felt the hateful tone in her voice."You are here to look for a job, right?""N
"If I find out this is a joke or some prank you plan to display online for some senseless fans, I swear I will chop off your fingers one after the other and feed it to dogs."William felt a chilly aura spread around the room as Clarion released a very strong energy."Answer my questions," William demanded confidently. In the past, he would shiver and run away from such powerful and wealthy people, but now...He is the wealthiest man on earth! He couldn't be afraid as long as money is involved.Clarion settled down when William spoke, since he didn't run away after her threat, she began to trust him a little."The highest share in this hotel is 40 million dollars, which is 20% of the company. We only accept shares from 5 million and above. If you plan to invest anything less, I'm sorry, we will have to throw you away."A smile crept on William's face, the price wasn't so big after all."Great, I will invest one hundred million dollars.""One hundred thousand dollars?" Clarion thought s
