With each stroke of the mop, his voice rose in a melodic hum, filling the confined space with unexpected joy.Vincent was a dreamer and a very talented singer and dancer ,an individual who saw beauty in the most mundane tasks. Even though he was treated like trash , he didn’t want it to get to him so he did what he loves doing the most in the entire world apart from playing video games which is singing and dancing.His mop became an extension of his being, transforming the ordinary into the extraordinary.As he moved with grace, his agile feet executed a flawless dance, choreographed spontaneously to the rhythm in his mind.Unbeknownst to Vincent , the sound of his voice and the rhythm of his feet had attracted an unexpected audience. A young lady emerged from one of the stalls, her eyes wide with amazement. She watched as Vincent sang with pure passion, his voice resonating through the tiled walls. Impressed by his raw talent, she couldn't help but clap her hands in appreciation.The sound of applause startled Vincent , interrupting his song and dance. He froze momentarily, his mop hovering in mid-air.Vincent was busy singing what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger by Kelly Clarkson when he suddenly heard a girl clapping her hands behind him.“Ohhhhhh, who is there ?!” Vincent turned it around and almost fell into the bucket of dirty water.But as he turned toward the source of the applause, his face lit up with a mixture of surprise and delight. Seeing the lady's encouraging smile, he resumed his performance with renewed energy.The lady continued clapping, her eyes never leaving Vincent 's mesmerizing display. She could feel the passion emanating from his every move.The once dull and dingy atmosphere of the girl's toilet was now transformed into a theater, with Vincent as the star of the show.The melody carried Vincent through the room, reaching the deepest corners of the stalls, where invisible listeners had paused their activities to soak in the magic.His voice resonated with warmth and longing, evoking emotions buried deep within the hearts of those who heard him.As Vincent concluded his impromptu performance, the room remained silent for a brief moment and the vibrant toilet became awkward“Uhm, I’m so sorry and I will leave right away. I didn’t know that a girl will come in” Vincent said apologetically“You should be a star” was her reply“I haat ? I don’t get you ?” Vincent answered confused“You’re a handsome tall young man with great hair and eyes , you can sing and dance . That’s the perfect description of a celebrity but why are you washing the toilet ? “ she asked“Because I’m poor and I want to pursue my education first before any other thing “ Vincent answered honestly“But I hope you know that being a celebrity and a big star can make you a billionaire like Rihannna , JayZ , Beyoncé , BTS and so on ?” She asked“Nobody loved me, my ex-girlfriend that believed in me cheated on me and. Called me broke and uneducated” Vincent said with a sad sigh“I have an idea,” the lady said with a smug suspicious smile.“I couldn't help but be enchanted by your talent. My name is Sassy, and I have an incredible opportunity for you."Vincent turned to face Sassy, his eyes shining with curiosity. "Hello, Sassy. It's a pleasure to meet you. What kind of opportunity are you referring to?"Sassy smiled, her excitement palpable. "My parents own an exclusive luxurious private bar, a place where the city's most discerning individuals and important celebrities can come to enjoy music and indulge in the finest experiences.I believe your extraordinary voice and mesmerizing dance skills would be a perfect fit for our establishment."Vincent 's heart skipped a beat as he absorbed Sassy's words. The prospect of performing in an exclusive venue, surrounded by extremely rich and famous people, was a dream come true.He had always envisioned sharing his gift on grand stages, and this invitation seemed like the first step towards that realization."I am humbled and honored by your invitation, Sassy," Vincent replied, his voice tinged with gratitude. "I would be delighted to be a part of your vision."Sassy's eyes lit up with joy as she extended her hand towards Vincent . "Fantastic! Welcome aboard, Vincent . Your talent will be the soul of our bar, and together, we shall create an extraordinary experience for our guests. We will start today , the bar opens by 9pm so make sure you clean up and dress nicely “ she said“But where can I meet you ?” Vincent asked and Sassy removed his phone from his trouser pocket and used her red and shiny long nails to put her number into his phone.“Call me” she said, winking and going out of the toilet.Vincent stood in front of his full-length mirror. Today was a special day for him, and he wanted to look his best. His heart was filled with anticipation as he meticulously dressed himself, ready to embark on a new adventure.Vincent carefully selected a crisp, white shirt from his wardrobe, its pristine fabric seeming to glow in the soft light.The shirt hugged his lean frame, accentuating his broad shoulders and athletic physique. As he fastened each button, he couldn't help but admire the way it elevated his appearance, transforming him from an ordinary young man into a vision of charm and sophistication.Next, Vincent reached for a pair of classic blue jeans. The denim material hugged his waist snugly, outlining his toned legs. The faded wash lent a touch of ruggedness to his ensemble, while the intricate stitching on the pockets added a subtle hint of detail. With each smooth movement, he effortlessly slipped into the jeans, their perfect fit only enhancing his youthful allure.Completing his attire, Vincent carefully chose a pair of white sneakers. Their sleek design added a touch of modernity to his overall look.As he laced them up, he couldn't help but feel a surge of confidence coursing through his veins. These shoes, once mundane, now seemed to carry a sense of adventure and possibility.Standing before the mirror once again, Vincent ran a hand through his tousled hair, ensuring that it was styled to perfection.The dark locks of his hair complemented his deep-set hazel eyes, and a boyish grin danced across his lips. The mirror reflected a young man on the cusp of a new chapter in his life, radiating a blend of elegance, youth, and undeniable charisma.[Vrmmmmmmmmm]Vincent noticed a strange sound and then he saw the a bright light flashing from the black metallic bracelet which is his family heirloom.“What’s this ?what’s happening?” Vincent asked getting shocked because the bracelet has never shown brightly like this and then a transparent glass like screen appeared in front of him with these words in bold letters , this is something that he has never seen in his entire life.[ SYSTEM TESTING][ SYSTEM BOOTING][ UPDATING LEVELS, SKILLS ,TALENT AND RANKS][QUINTILLION DOLLARS SUPERSTAR SYSTEM][YOU WILL BECOME A SUPER RICH AND SUPER FAMOUS CELEBRITY]Chapter Ten“Hahhahhahahhahhaa , a Quintillion dollars ? What kind of sick hallucination is this ?!” Vincent started laughing at himself thinking that what he just saw was just a silly dream or a broad daylight imagination so ignored the System’s Instruction .“I must be so broke that I am now imagining things , even the richest man on earth is just a billionaire. It’s never possible for some to own a Quintillion dollars. I better head out before I I get late “ Vincent said to himself before quickly entering a public train and he had to trek the remaining distance because no public taxi, Uber to Bolt, is allowed. It is an expensive and exclusive club so everyone going there is very rich , has expensive cars or power bikes with drivers. “You can’t come in, only exclusive members and staff allowed” The security guards told Vincent at the gate“I’m here for a part time work “ Vincent said “Obviously, you don’t look like a club member in those cheap thrift clothes and cheap deodorants
Chapter Eleven“Don Jazzy the Grammy award winner!?” Vincent mouthed , Don Jazzy is a famous super star, he is a model, a musician and also a rapper. He is so cool and wears the most expensive diamond chain in the country so Vincent is shocked that such a popular celebrity is slapping him for no good reason. Without warning, Don Jazzy’s gaze locked onto Vincent's face. For a brief moment, Vincent felt a surge of excitement, thinking the superstar had recognized him as a fellow admirer. But that feeling quickly turned to shock as Don Jazzy’s expression darkened. The superstar's eyes narrowed, and before Vincent could comprehend what was happening, a resounding slap echoed through the bar.The force of the blow sent Vincent stumbling backward, his cheek stinging with pain. The room fell silent as all eyes turned towards the young man, the recipient of Don Jazzy's wrath. Vincent's mind raced, confusion and embarrassment overwhelming him. He couldn't understand why Don Jazzy had target
Chapter Twelve “Follow me and I will make you a stinking millionaire with my power and influence “ Don Jazzy said a cringey way in front of the crowd that started shouting , whistling and hyping him up. “Uhmm, I don’t think this is a good idea “ Vincent said to Don Jazzy when he saw how he was smirking. “Come on, it’s okay. You are a badass performer, maybe he wants to sign you and I don't think you need to be afraid “ Sassy combined Vincent with a beautiful smile. “Fine “ Vincent said after gathering the tips he got inside his pocket because he doesn’t play with any single dollar.Vincent, sassy and Don Jazzy were walking dangerously close to the sea that was behind the club where no one can see them.Don Jazzy and Sassy were all mushy and kissing each other while walking till they went deep into the sea.But then, the atmosphere shifted. Don Jazzy's friendly facade cracked, replaced by a sinister glimmer in his eyes. He turned to Vincent, his voice dripping with malice. "You know
Chapter Thirteen “Am I on earth? Am I in heaven or hell? What’s going on?” As Vincent slowly opened his eyes, he was immediately greeted by a disorienting wave of weakness and shock. The world around him seemed blurry and unfocused, as if his vision was struggling to adjust to the new reality he found himself in. He blinked several times, trying to clear his sight and make sense of his surroundings.Gradually, the details started to come into focus. The sound of crashing waves filled his ears, accompanied by the distant cries of seagulls. He realized with a sinking feeling that he was lying down on a sandy shore, the beach stretching out before him in both directions. The air was heavy with the salty tang of the sea, and a warm breeze caressed his face, carrying with it the promise of a new day.Vincent tried to move, but his body felt heavy and unresponsive. Panic welled up within him as he struggled to comprehend the gravity of his situation. How did he end up here? Memories of
Chapter Fourteen “You’re mistaken, you got the wrong person. I am not a young master or a rich man. I’m just a common student looking for help” Vincent said while his mind was still wondering why his common cheap wrist watch was shining this brightly for the second time. But the brightness suddenly disappeared and he could see the yacht clearly. He was glad that Don Jazzy and Sassy were not the ones on the yacht but then the people he saw still shocked the hell out of him. “At this rate , I’m going to develop a heart attack, '' Vincent whispered to himself. There, in front of him, stood ten stunningly beautiful ladies, dressed in vibrant beach clothes. Their flowing sundresses clung to their perfectly sculpted bodies, accentuating their grace and allure. Each one exuded an air of elegance that seemed otherworldly.Vincent's heart skipped a beat as he tried to comprehend the situation before him. It felt like a dream, a surreal fantasy he had stumbled upon. He couldn't believe his
Chapter Fifteen “Not again! What is this Quintillion system? I don’t understand it at all” Vincent complained bitterly “I will explain everything to you calmly but first you need to get treated because you’re still bleeding “ Duke said and Vincent looked down on the floor to see his blood stains the white and clean tiles. “Oh, so sorry about this “ Vincent apologized “Don’t worry, we have people to take car of it, just follow me to the medical examination room where the doctor will be waiting” said Duke and suddenly a beautiful girl appeared with a vacuum cleaner and quickly mopped the blood of the floor using a robotic vacuum cleaner that Vinvent has never seen in his poor life. “Come on, let us go Young master ” Duke said while Vinevnt kept admiring the yacht on their way to the doctors examination room. The first area that caught his attention was the wine cellar, a haven for connoisseurs and wine enthusiasts. Rows upon rows of carefully arranged bottles lined the walls, showc
Chapter Sixteen“You should learn to accept your blessings and don’t talk too much or ask too many questions. For you to have that wristwatch in your hands , it means that you’re special and the chosen one so if I’m you, I will make sure I enjoy this opportunity and use it to become mighty famous and wealthy like a damn King” Duke said to Vincent who likes asking questions.“Uhmmm,well you have a point besides I have nothing to lose and this will be a crazy and amazing adventure “ Vincnet said with a big smile “We are all at your service as long as you have that wristwatch with you. The Quintillion System, the Yacht and everyone is under your control Boss” Duke said making Vincent’s heart swell with so much joy and excitement. “The world is at your feet as long as you stick to the rules , you will learn more about the system as time goes on” Dr Felicia said with a beautiful smile. “Oh, and one more thing Duke” Vincent said “Yes, you can ask anything “ Duke encouraged him to speak
Chapter Seventeen “Come on! Talk ! What’s wrong with me Felicia ?!” Vincent shouted impatiently “Well , calm down and let's hear her talk” Duke said to Vinecnt before he turned to give Felicia an encouraging smile to talk. “He seems to have an internal broken and fractured underneath his heart and it can be dangerous if he gets involved in any physical combat. I think he got injured while swimming with one hand since the other one was shot with a gun” Felicia explained while adjusting her glasses. Dread washed over Vincent like a cold wave crashing onto the shore. His worst fears were confirmed, and his imagination ran wild with images of his fragile rib slicing into his vital organ. The doctor's voice became a distant murmur as his mind raced, envisioning worst-case scenarios."The fracture is near your heart, and while it can be dangerous, we will closely monitor your condition," doctor Felicia continued, snapping Vincent back to the present moment.Vincent 's eyes fixated on the
