The System of Power is Money Chapter 1
"Mr. Manager, I want to talk to you about a raise for me." Ethan mustered the courage to speak with one of the powerful people in his office. Working for almost 3 years at this renowned office made Ethan proud. However, the salary he received was not commensurate with his hard work during this time.Richard, who was typing on the computer, looked up in disbelief at Ethan standing before him. Richard then leaned back in his big chair, sighing while looking dismissively at Ethan. "Did I not hear you correctly, Ethan? You want a raise?"Ethan nodded, although hesitant he still had to express his desire. "Yes, Mr. Manager, I have considered this. I have been working here for almost 3 years, but until now, my salary has remained the same since I started working." Ethan paused for a moment, taking a long breath and releasing it slowly."Even some of my colleagues have been promoted, while I'm still stuck here. As a consideration, I want a raise," Ethan continued.Richard smiled dismissive

Ethan left his office feeling devastated. His mind was scattered, making it impossible for him to distinguish between right and wrong."What should I do?!" Ethan asked himself in frustration."Darn it! Why does this have to happen? Why him?! I never even imagined he'd stoop so low as to blame me like this."Ethan ran his hands through his hair in frustration. He had been foolish to trust that jerk.He then sat down by the side of the road, letting the sounds of passing vehicles dominate his ears.Beep! Beep!For a while, Ethan just daydreamed, until he felt his phone vibrating and ringing in his pants pocket.He took out his phone, looking at the name of the person causing it to ring."Amelia?" Ethan raised an eyebrow, looking at his phone.Ethan then walked a little further ahead, trying to find a quieter spot where he could hear his sister's words clearly.He answered the call from his sister, trying not to sound suspicious."Hello, Brother Ethan.""Hello, Amel, what's up? Why are y

At this moment, Ethan glared sharply at Milena and Mr. Manager. He couldn't believe they would stoop so low.Mr. Manager smirked, confirming Ethan's accusations."If that's true, then what? What can you do about it?"Hearing Mr. Manager's words, Ethan exploded. Without hesitation, Ethan started punching Mr. Manager repeatedly.Milena screamed as she watched, until a few people came and tried to stop Ethan."Remember, Mr. Manager! I won't stay silent. I'll come back for revenge."Ethan now walked home, his mind wandering aimlessly. His heart and mind were in turmoil.Ethan felt utterly destroyed, betrayed by his friend and lover."What could have led to all of this happening? Have I committed a grave sin for God to punish me like this?" Ethan monologued to himself.Ethan rubbed his face in frustration, trying to calm himself and make sense of everything going wrong within him.But it all seemed futile. Ethan still felt overwhelmed by fear.Ethan tried to reflect on his past experiences

Ethan sighed, trying to contain his anger which was currently boiling inside him.If only he had known earlier, maybe it wouldn't feel this painful. And it truly hurt Ethan's heart, as if he wanted to let it out right now.His stomach, unable to be ignored any longer, suddenly stared at the wrapped rice he was holding. He really couldn't contain his hunger any longer.Without further thought, Ethan simply grabbed the wrapped rice from the trash can."To hell with everything. As long as this stomach feels full, that's more than enough."Ethan then took the rice package away from the trash can in the narrow alley.The man brought it to another corner of the alley.Ethan then devoured the found rice package eagerly. He truly resembled a jungle man who had just found his prey.It couldn't be explained how hungry he felt right now.Ring! Ethan then stopped devouring his food. He then reached into his pocket to grab his vibrating phone."A message from Miss Narsih."Ethan murmured, then he

Damn! I can't even see clearly right now. Why did this intense dizziness suddenly hit my head? What's happened? Why does it hurt so much?" Ethan tries to steady his vision. At least he needs clear sight to achieve his goal, even though his body feels weightless due to the overwhelming pain in his head. "I can't endure feeling like this forever. Only by taking this pain relief medicine will it subside. I'm absolutely sure of that." Ethan then grips his head. With heavy footsteps, he walks step by step, each one appearing deliberate. Not forgetting, he reaches for his old, now lifeless phone that no longer shines like before. If asked how his phone ended up there, while he was unconscious, Ethan could feel how his phone, which he placed in his right pocket, should have been pressed against him. However, the reality is the opposite. The phone lies there, seemingly out of his pocket for who knows how long. The thought arises that some energy intentionally placed his old phone close

Ethan held onto his old phone, which still displayed a message about receiving a substantial amount of money. "Where's an ATM around here? I've been walking and still can't find it. Is it difficult to find an ATM on this street?" Ethan muttered to himself. His brow furrowed as he reexamined each building in the corner of the city where he was staying. However, his wanderings had now become meaningless. Everything was ruined due to his excessive trust in everything, including the man who had clearly led him astray. "Enough of those thoughts, Ethan! Everything has happened, and I can't redo it to make it right again." Ethan closed his eyes for a while, attempting to reconcile with and continually make peace with all the demands for justice. "Calm down, Ethan. Not everything you want will go as you wish. Everything unfolds according to God's plan. You should always remember that God's plan is the best plan." Ethan reassured himself. He didn't want his thoughts to drift away again. Alt

Part 07Without hesitation, Ethan, alone at the ATM, slapped his own cheek. He blinked several times, trying to convince himself that what he saw was real, not a fantasy. "Ouch!" Ethan winced as he felt a twinge of pain in his cheek. "Is this really happening?! Did I just get 100 million?! Did I become wealthy without any hard work?!" Ethan cheered in delight. Naturally, without much further thought, Ethan immediately withdrew an amount of money to pay the landlady who had tossed his belongings out. Before long, a vibration began in the man's pants pocket. With a furrowed brow, Ethan quickly retrieved his vibrating, shabby cellphone. "The system has been activated! Whoever has made an agreement with the system, when that person is able to complete missions to help those around them, the system will automatically provide 100 million as a reward for each mission." Suddenly, Ethan's old, beaten-up cellphone rang uncontrollably. He tried various ways to silence it, but the phone

Ethan carried his backpack with both hands while holding another large messenger bag. The bag was filled with his clothes. If it weren't for being forced out of his boarding house by the landlady, he wouldn't have realized he had so many clothes.This time, there was no longer sadness on Ethan's face.The thought of being able to confidently pay off his rent to the disrespectful landlady brought a unique sense of happiness to Ethan."Thank you, God. I believe all of this is also fate's intervention. Somehow this whole system emerged, and I feel like I'm a character in a fantasy novel. One thing's for sure, I'm incredibly grateful."Ethan closed his eyes for quite a while, letting that positive energy continue to enter and influence him."It's true what people say, that gratitude only appears after a blessing arrives. If I hadn't been grateful and calm earlier, maybe a blessing like this wouldn't have been given by God. It might have been given to someone else instead."Ethan murmured

An angry Martin stood in front of the gate of the office building, his face flushed, and his body trembling with anger that was hard to hide. Ever since his marriage to Citra was annulled, he felt as if the world had come crashing down. Not only because of the hurt feelings, but also because of the deep sense of loss. He couldn't accept the fact that the woman he had been with all this time, who he considered to be his future, suddenly decided to end it all just like that."I need to see Citra!" he shouted at the security guard standing in front of the entrance.The security guard firmly replied, "Sorry, sir. You can't enter without permission.""Let me in!" Martin's voice was getting higher, he didn't care about the office rules. All he could think about was one thing: meeting Citra and getting an explanation directly from her. He couldn't accept the fact that their long-planned marriage, which had been established for a long time, was suddenly canceled in just a moment. Martin felt

That morning, Ethan woke up with heavy eyes. His cell phone alarm hadn't gone off yet, but the sunlight coming through the curtains was enough to keep him awake. Half sleepy, he walked into the kitchen, intending to make coffee. However, the sudden sound of the doorbell ringing made him frown."Who's coming this early?" he muttered, as he walked to the door. Without thinking, Ethan opened the door, and before him stood Leona. She was smiling brightly, dressed in a neat work suit, her hair perfectly coiffed as usual."Ethan! Good morning!" greeted Leona cheerfully.Ethan was silent for a moment, trying to digest the situation. "Leona? What are you doing here?" he asked, his voice hoarse from just waking up.Leona raised her eyebrows, as if Ethan's question was strange. "I thought we could go to the office together. You don't mind, do you?"Ethan rubbed his face, trying to shake off the sleepiness. He glanced down, realizing that he was still wearing shorts and a rumpled T-shirt. "I hav

Leona was still deep in thought when a knock on the door broke her reverie. She quickly straightened up, adjusting her expression to look professional, even though inside she still had mixed feelings."Come in," she said in a flat tone.The door opened, and a tall man with a handsome face walked into the room. He was Kevin, one of Leona's coworkers who was also quite popular in the office. With his trademark wide smile, Kevin carried a confident aura that always accompanied him."Leona," he greeted in a casual tone as he stepped closer. "I missed you."Leona looked at him for a moment, frowning. Missed? What the hell? She thought to herself. She knew Kevin often showed interest in her, but Leona never really responded. To her, Kevin was just a guy who liked to play with his physical charms to get women's attention."What's the occasion, Kevin?" replied Leona in a cold tone, ignoring his earlier remark.Kevin chuckled a little, seemingly unaffected by Leona's cold response. He sat on t

Early in the morning, the sunlight streaming through the curtains of Ethan's bedroom window woke the man up. His head felt a little heavy from lack of sleep, but he knew that today he had a lot to accomplish. Letting out a long sigh, Ethan got up from his bed, walking towards the desk where he placed the document Leona had given him last night.Ethan stared at the document with furrowed brows. The curiosity that had been delayed now urged him to open the file. Slowly, he opened the brown envelope that enclosed it. However, instead of finding office documents as expected, what was inside the envelope surprised him.Inside were only a few blank sheets of paper, without a single work-relevant inscription or mark. Ethan frowned, feeling strange about what Leona had given him. Why would she give him a blank document? Was this just a mistake, or was there some purpose behind it?Ethan quickly picked up his cell phone, intending to call Leona for an explanation. However, before he could call

When Martin and Lili were almost at the restaurant, their steps were again halted by a woman's voice calling from a distance."Martin! Wait!"Martin turned around, his face instantly turning tense at the sight of Elsa, the woman from his past that he never expected to appear again. Elsa ran over with an expectant expression, but it was clear that she was in a state of disarray. Her hair was a little messy, and her eyes were red like she had been crying."Martin, I need to talk to you," Elsa said in an urgent tone.Martin let out a long sigh, then looked at Lili, who looked both confused and suspicious. "Wait here, Lili. I'll just be a minute," he said softly, trying to calm the woman he was with.However, Lili looked at him with a furrowed brow. "Who is she, Martin?" she asked."Elsa is just... someone from the past. Trust me, it's not important. I just need to talk for a minute," Martin replied, before Lili could protest further.Martin walked over to Elsa and led her away from Lili.

After the event at Mr. William's house was over, Citra and Ethan decided to quickly exit the luxurious and large building. The two of them walked towards the car that was parked not far from the building.Citra who was walking beside the man occasionally glanced at him, gave him a smile, then looked forward again and decided to get into the car after they both arrived at Ethan's car.With great care, the man immediately opened the car door, letting Citra into the car."Do you want to go somewhere after this, Citra?" asked Ethan when he himself had gotten into his car.Citra who was already sitting on the driver's side seat immediately turned to the man. She was silent for a moment. She really wanted to go somewhere together with him, but it was also quite late and it was not possible for the two of them to go somewhere.She turned her gaze out of the window, trying to see how the night was really dark now. Afterward, she turned to the man who was currently waiting for an answer to the

Moments later, Citra and Ethan decided to enter the tall building. They both held hands, making Citra, who was beside the man she loved, unable to remove the smile from her face. How could she not smile if someone she loved was holding her hand, as if not letting her go anywhere.When Citra had entered the tall building, she stared in disbelief. There were already so many people inside. She had felt as if there was no one in the building, but in fact, as soon as she entered, there were so many people there. All of them now seemed to be chatting until they all turned their eyes towards her and also Ethan who had just arrived.Citra swallowed saliva, a little insecure when everyone's gaze was fixed on her. Whereas before, if she was in the middle like this, of course it was not something difficult. However, somehow this time she seemed to feel insecure when all the gazes were on her. Until finally a hand grasped her hand, as if to give a sense of strength so as not to feel inferior when

This morning, after not seeing the man she liked for a few days, Citra hurriedly got ready to go to an event where he had invited her. I don't know what kind of event it was, but at least she would still follow wherever he went, especially since he himself asked her to come and accompany him. It seemed like this was an important office event so the man, who was none other than Ethan, asked her to accompany him.Of course, this made Citra feel even more happy. At least he brought her to such an important event, instead of bringing Leona who seemed to have feelings for the man. In a quite beautiful and elegant dress, Citra put lipstick on her lips, then smiled when she saw her current dazzling appearance. She was sure that everyone who saw her would be mesmerized and think that she was a good match with Ethan.The smile on the woman's face had not disappeared. Citra was so happy that she had a beautiful smile on her face. A middle-aged woman, who was none other than Citra's mother, shoo

The woman looked tired but still showed her beauty. Although the woman beside him was so beautiful, even more so than the story and sexier than Martin's expectations, but still the desire to have Citra was so great for Martin. He couldn't forget her and felt that he had to have her. But I don't know now how else to get the woman, considering there are no more things that support him to be able to get the woman.The woman's parents were also no longer in his favor, and now he was al
