Building.«Ding!Host has completed the goal 'Acquire a company's.Host has been awarded two million dollars and one random skill has been unlocked.Random skill: martial arts super expert.New mission: Build and Equip your company.Reward: Ten million dollars.Failure: None.»Damien hummed his favorite song 'God Did' as he drove back to the hotel.*Damien sat in front of his computer, sipping a glass of whiskey as he browsed through LinkedIn and other professional networks. He needed a team of experts to help him grow GreenTech Industries. After hours of searching, he finally found four potential candidates.He began the video interviews, starting with Dr. Nathan Lee, a renowned renewable energy engineer."Dr. Lee, thank you for joining me today. Can you tell me about your experience in the field of renewable energy?""Of course, Mr. Hawks. I've spent over a decade developing innovative solutions for sustainable energy production. My expertise includes solar, wind, and hydro power sy
FrustrationSeth paced back and forth in his office, his face red with rage"I can't believe it, Jordan! That damn Damien didn't die like he was supposed to! Worse is that I feel like Amelia is still in love with that trash! What does she see in that dead weight of a man!? I'm I not ten times, no, a thousand times better than him!? And now, some mysterious Mr. Hawks has bought the company I wanted! It's a disaster! It's as if the universe is conspiring against me!"Jordan, his head of security, stood calmly, his eyes fixed on Seth. He himself was also shocked when he saw Damien standing by the door that night, without as much as a scratch on him. It was as if he had magically healed of everything. Jordan was sure he had broken every single bone in that lean body of his, and he even went as to slit his throat even when he was beaten to death just to make sure Damien was truly dead. Yet not even a thin line on the throat to indicate he has used a blade to cut it was seen. Damien was hale
UncoverDamien sat in his small, cluttered apartment, staring at the blank walls as he thought about his next move. He had the Fortune System, an AI inside his brain that granted him cash and skills, but he still needed a plan."Fortune, I need your help," Damien said aloud, knowing the AI could hear him."Hello, Damien," the Fortune System replied, its voice echoing in his mind. "What do you need assistance with?""I want to start a company, but I have no idea where to begin," Damien admitted. "I need a building, a team, a business plan... everything.""Leave that to me," the Fortune System said. "I'll provide the funds and skills you need. But first, we need to find the perfect building."Damien's eyes lit up as the Fortune System began to display images of potential buildings in his mind."Wow, these are great," Damien said, impressed. "But how do I know which one is right?""Trust your instincts," the Fortune System replied. "You know what you're looking for. And remember, I'll gui
The History of Garrick GayleGarrick Gayle trudged through the rain-soaked streets, his eyes cast down at the pavement. It had been months since his family disowned him, blaming him for his father's death. The pain still lingered, a constant ache in his chest.As he turned a corner, he spotted a familiar figure leaning against a graffiti-covered wall. It was Vex, the leader of the gang Garrick had joined a few weeks ago."Yo, Garrick! What's up, man?" Vex called out, his voice laced with a hint of excitement.Garrick shrugged, approaching Vex. "Just trying to stay dry, I guess."Vex chuckled. "You're always so gloomy, Garrick. Lighten up, man! We've got a score to settle tonight."Garrick raised an eyebrow. "What kind of score?"Vex grinned mischievously. "We're hitting a convenience store on 5th Street. Easy in, easy out. We'll make some quick cash and have some fun."Garrick hesitated, his mind racing with the risks. But Vex's enthusiasm was infectious, and he found himself nodding
Zeus's hidden candidateGarrick Gayle had come from a broken home. Abandoned and left to cater for himself. All that changed when he met a Celestial who called himself Senestro. He was told everything concerning the secret bet of the Celestials. Although he hadn't met any other candidate, Garrick knew the seriousness of the matter, especially when he met Ren. No matter what he did, Ren never backed down. Now Garrick knew he had to not only take things to a higher level, but to also secret kill off the other candidates.Unfortunately, he wasn't the only secret candidate with this plan.*[GREGORY CITY, BRENTWOOD]Gregory College. A college that opened it's arms, welcoming to those of High-class, Mid-class and lower-class. This was a college that Elian Gray chose, and God willing, he scored the highest mark in the exams and got awarded a scholarship to study here. Even though he's been orphaned at a young age, Elian always had this dream that things will turn out better, and that's why
EventAs soon as Elian emerged from the cliff, he assessed his situation. He was battered and bruised but alive.“That little prick. Just because his father's got some dough, he believes he can do whatever he wants. Well newsflash, 'cause I'm going to make sure they regret everything they've done.” Elian muttered to himself as he got up from all the mud around him.He stumbled upon a small river nearby and cleaned himself up.“I gotta get home quick.” Elian was very much upset. How could Rory just stand there and watch him being beaten to pulp? Why didn't the other students help him? Just because he was poor and had no one to back him up? All these thoughts ran across his mind as he walked towards the street still on his wet clothes.He then found a public phone and called a local taxi service to take him back to town as he had drifted off to this unknown place.Rory's betrayal cuts him deeper than a hot knife on a butter.Back in the town, he visited a thrift store and bought some ba
The Game is on.[THE NEXT DAY]Elian stood outside Michael's office, his heart racing with anticipation. He had the evidence, and he was ready to confront the man who had wronged him.He took a deep breath, straightened his shoulders, and walked into the office. Michael looked up from his desk, a look of surprise followed by a sneer."Elian Gray," Michael said, his voice dripping with contempt. "I thought you were still crawling in the gutter where you belong."Elian smiled, his eyes glinting with determination. "Hell Michael, still using that crappy trash talk, it seems you ain't got anything new."Michael snorted. "You're still a nobody, Elian. You'll never be able to touch me."“Man, ain't that sick? Well, I have something I'm sure will shut you up and make you sing a different tone.”Elian pulled out his phone and played the recording he had obtained at the charity event. Michael's eyes widened as he realized what was happening. Not only did Elian show up and ruined his follow-up
ThreatElian walked into his small apartment, exhausted but triumphant. He had just completed his mission and gathered evidence of Michael's wrongdoing. He couldn't wait to see the look on Michael's face when he was brought to justice.First things first, Elian decided to use his rewards to upgrade his living situation. He had been living in a small, dingy apartment for months, and it was time for a change.He took out his small mobile phone and decided to phone a company he once saw in an ad somewhere.“Hello. Is this Joaquin Rentals? I'm calling to know if there's vacancy in your area. I need an apartment.”“Yes, this is Joaquin. And yes there's vacancy. What kind of an apartment do you need?” the voice of a female rang forth.“What can ten grand get me?” Elian asked.“Certainly not a villa, but something close to it.”“Good. I will be down at your office in tomorrow morning.” Elian said, a bit ecstatic. He had just used the $10,000 reward to rent a new apartment, one that going to
