VICTOR CAREER SYSTEM

CAREER SYSTEM UNLOCKED

[The system will provide all the necessary resources to start your journey.]

Victor continued to struggle to understand what was happening. "Who are you? Reveal yourself! I can't comprehend what's going on!" Victor exclaimed. He noticed that people passing by on the street were staring at him as if he were crazy. He hurriedly ran to his apartment building and entered his small apartment, but the screen remained in front of him. He stopped in the middle of his room.

[I'm the system that connects to you and will accompany you wherever you go.]

"System? What on earth is this system?" Victor asked, still shocked by the information and the voice that seemed to be implanted in his head. Everything was entirely new to him.

"Take a look at your phone," the voice urged.

"Huh?" Victor was puzzled as to why the voice was asking him to do that. He opened his phone and found a notification from Wells Fargo bank. He clicked on it.

[Wells Fargo Bank: Your account balance is USD 2,000,496]

"What!" Victor exclaimed in shock. He couldn't believe he had miraculously received 2,000,000 dollars in his bank account. Overwhelmed, he wondered if it was a mistake or a scam. "Wait, is this even real? How did this money get into my account?" he asked, staring at the screen in front of him.

[This is my welcome gift to you, host. I appreciate your personality, and I believe it will be of great help to you. The money I've sent is yours to use.]

[Okay, Host, you now have access to this money. Soon, I will provide you with more information about the system and your first mission. Until then, enjoy your bonus.]

Suddenly, the white screen in front of him disappeared.

"Wow! I never thought I'd have 2,000,000 dollars in my bank account. Just a few moments ago, I was fired from my job where I made 400 dollars a month, and now I have 2 million dollars," Victor exclaimed with a broad smile. He was still stunned by the sudden turn of events.

His first thought was to go and meet his girlfriend and take her out. Despite not having much, he had been dating one of the prettiest girls in his neighborhood. He checked her location on his phone, as they shared their locations with each other. He saw that she was in a local restaurant two blocks away from his apartment building.

"This is my chance to meet Natalie and pay all her bills and let her know I'm now wealthy," he thought.

Victor arrived at the restaurant, scanning the interior. He spotted Natalie sitting at a large table with a group of girls. He approached the table with excitement. "Hey babe!" he greeted, his face beaming. Upon seeing him, Natalie lowered her head, feeling ashamed. Although she loved him, she was embarrassed by his presence and didn't want him around her friends.

"Babe? Who's this, Beggar?" one of Natalie's friends asked, turning to look at Victor and scrutinizing him from head to toe. Despite being a middle-class girl, Natalie had wealthy friends from college. She had been the one covering some of Victor's expenses since they began dating.

The other three girls were baffled, having never been introduced to Victor by Natalie.

"Beggar? No, I'm Natalie's boyfriend," Victor replied, brushing off the lady's derogatory comment. He was dressed in a grey shirt and blue jeans, both of which were covered in brown dust from the incident at the office.

"Natalie's boyfriend? Is this the guy you've been dating, the one you've been covering all his bills for?" One of the ladies bombarded Natalie with questions. They had heard a lot about Victor but had never met him before.

Natalie felt ashamed and couldn't bring herself to look at her friends. She hadn't expected Victor to show up at the restaurant; she assumed he would be at work.

"Oh my, Natalie, is this really your boyfriend?" Another girl inquired. They couldn't believe Natalie was dating someone like Victor.

Natalie slowly raised her head, her eyes filled with discomfort. "Yes, Victor is my boyfriend, the one I've been telling you all about," she admitted.

"Oh my gosh, girl, why are you dating such a poor and unattractive guy like him?" One of the girls stared at Victor with disdain.

"Yeah, you're so beautiful, and you shouldn't be with someone like him. Plus, he can't even afford to take care of you. Just look at him," the second girl remarked, rolling her eyes at Victor.

"Goodness, Natalie, I can't believe you settled for a loser like him," the third girl chimed in. Natalie felt incredibly embarrassed and furious at the situation. She loved Victor, which was the main reason she had stayed with him for so long. However, she had always been ashamed to go out with him or introduce him to her friends and family.

"Look at his shirt."

"Look at his shoes." Her friends mocked Victor openly. Victor was becoming increasingly embarrassed and couldn't believe what he was hearing right in front of him.

"Yeah, Victor, you're such a failure," Natalie's friends taunted. Natalie didn't know how to react but felt ashamed as she stood up and turned to face Victor.

"Why are you even here? I thought you should be at work by now," she said, her eyebrows furrowing in frustration.

"I got fired earlier," he replied with shame.

"Oh, my goodness, you're such a disappointment! I can't believe I've been with you for this long!" Natalie exclaimed; her voice filled with disappointment. The commotion at their table had drawn the attention of everyone in the restaurant.

"I can't deal with your nonsense anymore. From this moment, we're done, and I don't want anything to do with you. Make sure you stay away from me, and I'm going to block your number and all your social media!" She shouted at him.

"Natalie, please, don't do this, I love you!" Victor rushed toward her and knelt in front of her.

"You've been with me through thick and thin, even when I had nothing, you stuck with me," he pleaded.

"I don't want anything to do with you anymore; I deserve better," she responded angrily.
