The system
last update2025-02-10 05:44:50

A soft voice sounded in his his head and a blue holographic screen materialized in front of him.

[Initializing Wealthy system]>

[New user detected]>

[Initiating deep Scan]>

[The scan will last for a total of 48 hours]

[Please prepare yourself]

Zed read through the notifications with a puzzled expression, and at the same time he struggled to keep the car moving and avoid crashing it.

"Wait, what the hell is this thing? And what does it mean by 'prepare yourself for the scan'" Zed blurted out, his gaze glued to the screen and his hands still gripping the wheel.

Suddenly, Zed began to feel dizzy, and his eyes were closing by the second.

"What...the... hell... Is.. happening?" Zed muttered sluggishly, and finally he blacked out.

"""

Zed's eyelids began to lift open as he slowly regained consciousness. After making sure he was fully awake,  he sat upright and glanced at the place he found himself in.

"My room." He mused, his confusion palpable as he kept glancing around the place while rubbing the back of his head.

The last thing he remembered was driving his car back home and those strange screens that kept popping up in front of him.

"How did I arrive here? And what the hell were those screen?" Zed stated with a puzzled expression as he kept rubbing the back of his head where he could feel a slight pain.

A few months after thought about the holographic screen, a loud chiming sound echoed in his head and a familiar blue screen appeared before him.

[Scan has been completed]

[Zed Zimmerman has obtained the Wealth and Fame building system]

Zed didn't panic after seeing the screen because it was something has seen before, so he just sat there and examined it.

"What the hell is this? A system?" Zed muttered, his gaze glued to the screen.

[I am the Wealth and Fame building system, and I am here to help you leap to the top and make you number one in the whole universe]>

The soft robotic voice sounded, and Zed's eyes widened in shock after hearing  those words.

"Did it just replied me?" Zed swallowed hard. "I think it's some sort of artificial intelligence. But what type of AI could make a person rich?"

"This is nonsense. It's not real. Maybe I had an accident in my car and i hit my head real hard and now I'm seeing things." He mused as he rubbed his eyes with the back of his hand, hoping to get rid of the screen.

However, when he opened his eyes he realized the screen was still there.

"It's still here? Could it be real?" Zed wondered, and a serious expression appeared on his face.

[I am real, Zed. And I am here to help you leap to the top and become the number one in the whole universe]

[If you wish to proceed please click on the {Begin} icon]

"I guess I have no choice but to see what it's all about. What do I have to lose?" Zed mused as he clicked on the icon, and the screen in front of him morphed into a whole new one.

[Please choose an occupation before we begin]

[List of occupation]

[Actor]

[Musician]

[Politician]

[Engineer]

[Doctor]

[Inventor]

[Farmer]

[Teacher]

There were so many occupations listed there, but Zed stopped scrolling down after catching sight of the one he was looking for.

[You have selected the Inventor occupation]

[Your journey to become the number one inventor in the whole universe will now begin]

Zed sat there, examining the screen attentively.

[Your first quest has arrived.]

[Quest information: Get your first workshop and also get the necessary tools used for an invention]

[Quest duration: One week]

[Reward: $10,000,000]

Zed's jaw dropped after reading the notification, and his eyes widened in disbelief.

"Ten million dollar is the reward for the quest?" He blurted out in shock. "Is this some sort of scam or prank? This is too good to be true."

Ten million?

That was more than he earned in six months while working in the Eclipse industries. In fact, Zed was certain that he has never received such an amount of money in his entire life.

But for some reason this system was willing to give it to him if he completes a simple task which was for him to get a workshop of his own.

Every inventor needs a workshop. The workshop and tools comes first before any other thing, and since he selected the 'Inventor' occupation the next thing was the workshop.

"This sounds like a lie, but I'm willing to give it a shot." Zed pondered.

Zed had nothing to lose.

He already lost everything earlier, and right now he had nowhere else to go or who to turn to. So he had no choice but to trust this strange system. If ur turns out to be a lie he would just put it all behind him and move on.

Zed got off his bed and walked to the window. He glanced outside and saw the sun shining brightly.

"I wonder what time it is. Where the hell is my phone?" He turned around and began to scan the room until he spotted his phone ontop his wooden drawer.

He swifly made his way towards it and picked it up, and when he glanced at the screen his eyes widened in shock after catching sight of the date.

"17th, Thursday, 2024?" Zed mused, his gaze fixed intently on the screen.

The day he lost his job was on the 15th, on a Tuesday afternoon, and today's date was 17th meaning it happened two days ago.

"If I remember correctly, that day, before I blacked out, the system mentioned something about a scan. It said the scan will last for 48 hours which is two days. If I indeed blacked out for two days immediately after the system told me I would, then I think that's enough reason for me to believe that this system is real. And if I complete the task I will become the number one." Zed bellowed to himself, and a grin evident on his face.
