2024-10-29 19:42:56“Host is expected to get up at the crack of dawn for physical training.” The already familiar voice of the system rang out, waking Leonard up.
Leonard peered outside and confirmed that it was still dark outside. However, he stood up and headed outside his room.
He opened the door carefully, making sure that he didn’t wake his mother up before heading outside.
“Before considering martial arts, the most important thing is to build the physical body to an optimal condition using strength training….”
Leonard listened attentively to all the instructions the guardian gave. Very quickly, he ran several laps around their neighbourhood until he was panting and dripping with sweat, and even when he felt like he was going to drop dead from lack of breath, the guardian’s instructions didn’t ring out.
After running and lifting objects up the hill for about an hour, the system's guardian finally said he could stop.
“Mental strength +2!”
“Physical strength +0.5!”
Although it wasn’t anything important right now, Leonard still smiled with happiness and then went back inside to get ready for the day.
With everything that had happened yesterday, he had been unable to save his money in the home bank he usually used.
Upon bringing up the wad of notes that Peter had given him, he was stunned to see a total of $900 there.
Even if he worked for two months, he might not have earned such an amount!
What was even more surprising to Leonard was how easily the system had known the amount. He had a total of $300 in savings before, and now, with this, they had some more money again.
He saved $700 and kept $200 asides.
After he was done getting ready, he rubbed his entire body with his mother’s homemade ointment over all the bruises from yesterday.
Although it was only the difference of one night. With his mother’s ointment, the pain had gone and only the purple marks were left.
By the time he was ready to leave for school, his mother was already awake and had started laundry.
“I made a bowl of porridge for you. You can have it before the first bus arrives,”
Leonard didn’t argue and sat at the small table to eat. He ate very quickly, drinking the porridge in two mouthfuls.
“Mom, I left some money on the table for you, don’t walk to the city this time around, okay?”
Like always, he boarded the bus and allowed his mind to think over everything that happened between yesterday and this morning.
When he got to school, some of the people that saw him pass by looked at him twice. It was just one day but the Leonard that had entered the classroom yesterday with a stained uniform and a little out of breath from running late was far apart from the Leonard this morning.
His entire person reeked of confidence, and he even seemed a lot more charismatic. Aura was one of the most significant things about a person. A lot of people notice an aura first, even before the dressing. However, it was not a widely acknowledged thing.
Since he had hurried to school because of the plans he made with Susan previously. Only very few students were around.
The ones that were around were also not the troublesome ones and they didn’t find trouble with him.
After signing the first attendance sheet, Leonard went to the library to meet with Susan.
“Leonard, you are here,” Susan said as she beamed at him.
She shifted, patting the space beside her so he could sit down.
“Before we start, if you don’t mind, I got you a gift,” Susan whispered, and Leonard watched, a little curious and a little uncomfortable, as she opened her bag.
She pulled out a white box and passed it to him with her cheeks turning red and a shy expression on her face, “My savings couldn’t buy more than this model, but it’s also a new model,”.
Leonard looked at the white box that she placed in his hands and placed it back in her hands.
“I’m sorry, Susan, but I can’t accept this.”

Susan’s eyes dulled while her face flushed with embarrassment. “I’m sorry,” she mumbled with her head bowed and her fingers interlocked.Seeing her reaction, Leonard felt a little guilty, but he had not planned to get a phone anytime soon. After all, the most important person to him was his mother.If he needed a phone to communicate with her, it would mean that she would also need a phone also.Their finances couldn’t handle that kind of luxury and, most especially not a brand that was this expensive.He sighed as he looked at Susan’s already dull expression.“Although I don’t have the money now, I’ll work hard to pay you back. So let’s see this as if you are giving me a loan.”As he talked, he tore out a page from his jotting book and started to draft an IOU between them. Since she had used her savings for it, it was only appropriate to pay her back, but as the phone itself was probably more expensive than his entire net worth, this was the best solution.Susan nodded as her eyes r

Leonard and Daniel listened attentively as he briefed them on what was required. As soon as Mr. Reeves was done with the briefing, each person was given the form to fill out so that they could return back to their classes.They filled it out and went back to class.“Aren’t the interested people a lot? Even people that have never attempted to join a competition are there,” Daniel said as soon as they were alone.“You weren’t here, Mr. Reeves said the top fifteen would be given an express admission into the top five universities.”Daniel cursed out in excitement as his eyes bulged widely.Even for students in this school that had influence and money, getting into the top five universities in their country wasn’t a joke at all!“It’s going to be intense. Do you think we should study together?” Daniel asked. To him, he knew for sure that Leonard was a genius.Most of their schoolmates had no idea that Leonard would only read for an hour a day or sometimes skip out on it completely so that
World Domination System First Task
Ignoring the gossip around school, Leonard left as soon as the first bell rang. Unlike before, he now had a mobile phone and he felt that communicating with Susan would be easier.He wanted to find some odd works to do when he got home and then begin studying for the competition.As he crossed the street, the robotic voice of the system rang out in his mind.[First task assigned to host! Completing this task would award a cash bonus of $1000 and +10 domination points which can be used by the host]Leonard stopped, his legs becoming heavy in the middle of the road from pure shock.Even though he had decided that the system was a bonus trainer this morning when he did the training, there was a little bit of fear left from what happened earlier with the system.But now he heard, $1000?For someone like him, a thousand dollars was an amount that he would spend about a month or two to save up to that amount because they still had things that they couldn’t avoid spending now.But one task w

After all, that running around during the day, Leonard had fallen asleep the moment he got back home.When he finally woke up, he took up time to set up the phone he had ‘loaned’ from Susan.The first thing he saw when he placed his SIM card in was the alert that showed the money he had won.Leonard sat, stupefied at the reality in front of him. Even if he had worked for it, it still felt a little unbelievable to be able to get the money.Also, how had the system gotten all the information needed to pay the money to him, the more he thought about it, the more questions he had.[As the host, our fates have become one and the system has everything linked to the host. As for the vast wealth of the World Domination System, only by completing tasks can the host win it….]One more time, the system went into a long-winded explanation.

World Domination System Selecting Skills
After dinner ended, Leonard went back inside, his mind full with several thoughts. He had always been determined to make money and take care of his mother. Only that, up until today, he had always imagined that he had to climb up the ladder by gradually working. But with the World Dominating system, he felt that things were different and the heavens were giving him a chance. Now that his mother wanted to work with Susan’s family, he swore to himself not to let that happen for more than two months.He couldn’t convince her now. After all, he didn’t have much, and she was determined to help him out. Leonard sighed at his current helplessness but was also determined to work hard in the next two to three months so that he could at least make them comfortable. After making up his mind and feeling better, he picked up his books, ready to study. He had barely read for half an hour when he remembered that Susan had asked him to send a message so that they could talk about their project
World Domination System 10. Madame Diane
After school the next day, Leonard took the bus that would head deep into the city instead of his usual route. He had left home with his mother this morning and promised her countless amount of times to stop at Madame Diane’s house. In the bus, he leaned his head back and closed his eyes. To anyone, he was sleeping. However, since the World Dominating System was already in his body, the two skills he had picked could play out in his head. It was a trance like situation where he felt like he was watching himself watch the course that was playing out. There was also an option of playing it on a screen but he didn’t have any Bluetooth device and so he decided to use this method to save time. Since their school was at the edge of the city center, the bus ride took about an hour and Leonard got down. He glanced down at the paper that contained the new address that his mother had given him one more time to confirm he was at the right street. After confirming, he scoffed.This area w
World Domination System 11. Superhero Duties
As Leonard walked out of her house, he didn't care if he had been rude or not, one thing was certain, he wouldn't allow her to ridicule him and his mother. His mother could fall for her tricks and acting, but Leonard was able to see things more clearly. Also, he knew that his mother had a naturally kind and agreeable disposition, but he was at least not like her completely. He was quite glad that he had given her that warning, and now, he knew that she would think so much about it before she uttered her mouth to say any more demeaning words.Walking towards his house, the system dinged all of a sudden. Since he was already used to the beeps the system made as soon as a new task was launched, he could guess that he had a new task. [New task activated]Leonard went to a corner of the road to listen to what it had to say. ''What's the task?'' Leonard asked.He wanted to be sure if this was something he could do. Even though he needed the money to get him and his mother by every day,

The silent beep of a machine woke Leonard up that evening. Squinting his eyes open, he was immediately blinded by the bright white light streaming from the chandelier of the room he was in. He groaned, trying to reach out but all he could feel was empty air.''Its okay.'' a voice said.Leonard didn't need to think twice to know that it was his mother's voice. How she had got here and how he had got here too was very strange to him.''Mom?'' he asked.''Yes honey.'' she sighed.Finally, he managed to open his eyes and the first thing he noticed was how white the room was. He was momentarily confused when he saw some machines fixed on him.''You're in the hospital, Leonard. You got severely hit by a thief.''That was when everything came rushing back to him. The system's instructions… the women at the mart… the wait… tackling the thief to the ground and then finally receiving the blow to his head.''The thief…''''Oh don't worry about that honey, he's going to be in jail for a very very

Leonard had always been resourceful when it came to finding quiet corners within the bustling school campus. Today was no exception. He wandered through the labyrinthine hallways until he stumbled upon a seldom-used storage room on the third floor of the engineering building. The room was dimly lit, with dusty shelves of forgotten equipment, and it was blessedly free of the usual chatter and footfalls echoing through the school's corridors.Taking a seat on an upturned crate, Leonard pulled out his sleek, portable computer. He had received an anonymous message, cryptic and enigmatic, urging him to come to this very place and log into the school's restricted system software.

Daniel called out as he finally caught up to Leonard, who was panting with a mix of worry and determination.Leonard glanced over at Daniel, his eyes filled with urgency. "We need to find Susan, and we need to find her fast," he replied, his voice tense. "I have this feeling that with Edgar being arrested, he might come after Susan and... and harm her. I can't let that happen."Daniel's eyes widened with realization as he processed Leonard's words. The threat to Susan's safety was real, and they both knew it.

It was a crisp, ordinary morning at the boy's High School until it wasn't.At precisely 8:15 AM, the serene atmosphere was shattered as an entourage of police cars screeched to a halt outside the school's imposing main doors. Uniformed officers spilled out of the vehicles, their stern expressions a stark contrast to the typically serene surroundings. Right at the forefront, the head of education for the city, Mr. Hugo Harrington, emerged from a sleek black sedan.
