Supreme System: Ascension of A Sovereign

{Earth, 2036}With a population of five billion, Earth was surviving.Due to a worldwide epidemic in the year 2025, the world population was halved, and not until 2028 was this epidemic fully brought under control.Eight years had passed since then and the power system had changed completely. Now, the whole world wasn't run by governments or agencies but by families and large businesses.The higher a family's rank in wealth, the more power they held globally. Most of the businesses that occupied top positions and powers were run by families thereby making global power fall in the hands of a few families that numbered in the hundreds.These families were scattered around the globe and were wealthy enough to decide the life and death of basically anyone of a lower status.Today was just another average day on Earth. It was 9 am and while some took their first breaths as they came into the world, others took their last as they left for good.While some went out to work, some returned hom

"Pardon but can I get something to eat?" Yen asked a woman serving food to people around."What are you saying?" She asked in a language that was foreign to Yen."I meant food. Something to eat." Yen replied again. He understood her words due to a feature on the system that allowed him to automatically understand any language even if he was hearing it for the first time. The problem was that she didn't understand his words.She looked at him confused. What language was he speaking?'Shit! This is messed up!' He slapped his forehead.He decided to gesture with his hand for a second trial.He brought his palms in front of him and rubbed them together in an act of pleading and then brought one hand close to his mouth, folding it so all the fingers were of the same height.'She should at least get this one, right?' Yen thought while repeating the gesture.She stared at him for a moment and he could tell she was specifically looking at the blood that covered the chest region of his robes.

{Time's up! The mission has been completed successfully!}The voice of his new assistant rang in his head.'Could you at least lower it down next time? It's like you're screaming directly at my brain.'{That's basically what I do each time I communicate with you.}'Ugh!' Yen rubbed his temples in frustration.He wasn't used to the system yet and he could tell, it would be a tough road.He couldn't abandon it because…'How about I just put you to sleep for the rest of my life?' Yen thought to himself but the system could read his very thoughts so it responded.{You put me to sleep and the rest of your life would only last five seconds before you fall asleep 'for the rest of your life'. That is not a threat, it's a warning. The moment I shut down, you'll go down as well.}'I don't believe you!' Yen disagreed with the system's words.{Then go ahead and try it. The command phrase is 'System Shut Down'. Let's both be witnesses to what happens next.}'If that's true, then I'll need the phra

The auction went on for another hour as the auction house owner did his best to sell off the items in his auction.Finally, the time came for the item he had prized the most. He had kept it for last as he had ordered his workers to quickly craft four fancy small boxes where the items could be placed to attract more buyers."Our final item on the list today is one that was never on the list.""Brought in today by a person I dare not disclose his identity, this pill could heal even a punctured body part within seconds. It was discovered in an abandoned place by a person who stumbled upon it by coincidence.""After being stabbed in the heart, this person took five of the pills and survived the situation that fell on him."As he spoke, a man walked forward with a small gold-plated box, dropping it on the table before the auction house owner."Here's a demonstration." The auction house owner nodded and when the man who had brought the box turned to leave, a piercing screech reverberated th

Yen woke up on top of a luxurious bed, his face filled with marks left by the bed and blanket. It was obvious he had taken a great nap.His exhaustion from walking, riding a bicycle, and then walking again was long and was now replaced by a burning passion to explore even more of this world Yen had found himself in.'An elevator huh? Made me feel like I was flying as I originally could.' Yen smirked at the thought of the hotel's elevator that was built and attached outside of the building. As one rose inside, they would see everything outside the hotel as the walls of the elevator were made of thick and fortified glass."Paying 50,000 Khartos per day is certainly worth it." Yen nodded, his eyes moving across the one room he had rented which aside from the room, only had a bathroom and a small wardrobe.{It's one of the cheapest rooms you'll ever find so enjoy it while it lasts.} Stem replied as it had no choice but to remain quiet while the host was asleep."I… I see." Yen murmured un
