Dylan's body was sent flying through the air, crashing to the ground with a sickening thud. He lay there, bleeding and motionless, his vision fading to black as his head spun wildly.

The tears he had been holding back finally broke free, and in that moment, he felt utterly alone and forsaken. The pain was overwhelming, and he couldn't move a muscle.

His mind was a jumble of thoughts, but one question kept echoing:

"Is this the end?" He thought about all he had lost, and how he had nothing left to lose. The world seemed cruel and unfair, and he felt like he was being punished for no reason.

As he closed his eyes, a flood of memories from his life flashed before him. He saw glimpses of his childhood, how his parents died in a car accident, his friends, and his lost love.

He thought he heard a faint whisper in his mind, but he couldn't quite make out what it was saying.

Just then, the faint whisper in his mind became sharper with a resounding voice ringing in his mind.

"HOST DETECTED...."

"INITIATING PARING SYSTEM"

"PARING BEGINS!"

"20% 50%...... 70%.... SYSTEM PARING ACCORDING TO HOST NEEDS."

"ANALYSIS COMPLETE!!"

"TRANSACTION BEGINS......"

"WARNING....!!!!"

[HOST EMERGENCY: Initiating Healing System].

A warm, golden light began to emanate from an unseen source, enveloping Dylan's battered body. The light pulsed with a gentle, soothing energy that seemed to seep deep into his wounds.

As the light intensified, Dylan felt a strange, tingling sensation coursing through his veins, as if his very cells were being rejuvenated.

His pain began to ebb away, replaced by a deep sense of relaxation and calm. The light continued to envelop him, nurturing his body and slowly restoring him to wholeness.

He finally opened his eyes and all he could see was the deserted road and a haunting image of blood splattered around him.

"I got hit by a car.... Am I dead? Did I die like that?" He touched himself to check for possible wounds as he stood firmly.

Dylan scrutinized the deserted road and all he could see was just the splatter of blood covering the road. "Isn't that my blood? And I have no wound. Is this how death looks like?"

Panic set in as memories came flooding back - the car accident, the pain, the feeling of his life slipping away. A cold dread crept over him as he realized that he must be dead.

This must be the afterlife, he thought. But why did it feel so... real? And where the hell is my body? No police sign anywhere, so my body wasn't moved yet...What's happening?

Just then , a mesmerizing blue square hologram appears in his vision, radiating an ethereal glow.

A white light shimmers and undulated, creating a sentence: WELCOME HOST.

Another message followed simultaneously;

"Congratulations! You're the luckiest man among billions. You are chosen to be the Ultimate Ruler of the Infinite World! "

"What the hell is going on? Am I hallucinating? Ultimate Ruler? What's heck is that?"

[You were on the verge of death and the infinite system has been activated. Will host like to activate system fully?]

Dylan giggled at the sound of that, "Yes, I'm definitely hallucinating. This is not some kind of marvel comic... I need to get my head straight."

Dylan stood there trying to figure exactly what happened. Then the thought of Ashley hit him so hard that it became his thought. Before he could think of the hurtful memories another message appear in the screen.

"WILL YOU LIKE TO ACTIVATE SYSTEM FULLY?"

"Yes, I want to activate... Are you satisfied now?" He yelled at the up of his voice expecting a response after.

A minute passed already and nothing came up. "I knew I was the one hallucinating. What if I am living in my thoughts right now what will---"

Instantly, the same hologram appeared.

Ding...!!! Ding..!

"Full System Activation"

"Opening Access"

[ Name: Dylan Bradley ]

[ Balance: 100000000000000 ]

[ Status: Rank 1]

[ Strength: Weak ]

[Power Point: 0]

[Skills Chamber: 0 ]

Dylan noticed that on the status screen there were more tabs on the top but without even doing anything and just reading the tabs in his head. The screen automatically switched.

On the AI assistant tab, Dylan couldn't really see much. Everything seemed to be locked and slightly greyed out so he quickly moved on to the next tab which was called, Charm. But it was all greyed as well.

A notification popped up on the screen shortly,

[ Note that the balance is not finite. Every rank with a correspondingly increase amount of money. The more money spent, the higher the rank and more money a Host can access. All greyed tabs will be unlocked as host ranked up with power points ]

"Is this some kind of joke? I just have to keep spending the 100 trillion recklessly if I want to level up and I even get to enjoy more money if I level up. Nah!!! This can't be real."

Though he didn't believe, he still scrutinized the screen looking at all the tabs... Immediately, it switched on the main screen and a notification followed abruptly.

[ RANK 1: Get 1 power point for every 100 Million Dollar spent. Account is binded to all all Banks in the world and a host can pay with fingerprint.]

"What if it's just a scam?" Dylan thought to himself. "What if it's just a fancy trick to get me to do something stupid?"

He thought about how his life has been and how desperate he was, how willing he was to try anything to get out of his miserable life.

But as he looked back at the System, he felt a pang of doubt. What if it was too good to be true?

Dylan's mind was a jumble of conflicting emotions, his desire for a better life warring with his fear of the unknown.

He didn't know what to do, or what to believe. All he knew was that he had to be careful, that he couldn't afford to make a mistake.

"Let's try it out then."

    Dylan hurried to a vendor machine not too far from the deserted road to get something affordable.He stared doubtfully at his hands. But scoffed and decided to try it out."Won't hurt if I try. After all, if it doesn't work out, I will just walk away." With that he surveyed the road and saw that no one was coming. So, he hurriedly placed his thumb to pay the vendor machine."Ding...!!!

    'Poverty is not a shame, but the lack of respect for oneself and others is.' Dylan pondered. 'You will do anything? Money indeed can buy respect.' Dylan chuckled coltishly. People say money doesn't buy happiness or respect, well, for Dylan, money have definitely paved the way of him. Respect and power were at his fingertips all because of the money had acquired. Dylan's expression remained impassive as he delivered the verdict, "Given your willingness to do anything, I've decided that you'll be taking on janitorial duties from this moment." With that, he turned on his heel and strode directly into Miss Julian's office, leaving Clara behind without a second glance. Clara was rooted to the spot, feeling humiliated. She never expected that Dylan was not tempted by her beauty, or he's just not the same with the former shareholders who understood what "I will do anything" means.

No poor person could actually think of going to Xpression Fashion Brand, unless they are going there to look for a cleaner's job."How do I get there on time now!" He stepped forward to the taxi stand with the dispatch bag hanging firmly in his hand.

    The Ferrari halted and the guards came out of their Porsche car. As the men formed a protective circle around the Ferrari, their movements seemed choreographed, as if they had performed this ritual many times before. They did it exactly the way they did it before."Do they always do this?" Inquisitive Dylan asked. He hadn't experienced a life like this before and it seems a bit strange to him thinking they do it so much better than those Hollywood movies he had watch."Of course!" Scott giggled, "And I think you should buy some of them and you know... Some expensive cars to accentuate your status."'He is trying to say that I look shabby? Well, he's got a point.'"Yeah..."

Dylan's words went straight to Noah's heart like a needle paving its way through.Noah nodded affirmatively and walked out shamefully. This was a shame to his name and everyone that has regarded him as a superior, but it was the best and only thing to do. He had to prioritize his business over his ego."Billie, I have a meeting with them and I think you should hang around. You can order anything you want to. You and your friend can wait for me."
