Living With The System

A young man was being tortured by a group of people who looked well dressed. He was punched, kicked and even though his arm was already broken from being stepped on so hard by one of them, they still didn't stop.

They often tortured the young man, but tonight was the worst. Maybe they were tired of torturing them so they immediately wanted to destroy them.

I don't know what the young man did wrong.

And finally one of them stepped on the young man's foot.

Kretek... There was the sound of a broken leg. They all laughed after torturing the young man, as if they no longer had any sense of humanity.

The young man did not scream, even though his arms and legs were broken and his face was swollen like a pig's head, even though the pain was excruciating.

He promised in his heart, if one day there is a chance. He will pay back everything he experienced 2x fold.

The young man returned to his small house by the river in a shabby-looking neighborhood with a broken arm and leg. and he looked at the calm sky, clenched his other fist and hit the ground, then he screamed loudly in the darkness.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.... After that he passed out...

He awoke in the middle of the night and stared at the twinkling lights across the river.

The view of the city was very beautiful for others to see, but not for him who was considered a lowly human and was often tortured and said to be a street loser.

"I didn't ask to be born in this world. I didn't ask why I was born poor. But my parents will, I exist in this world and it is my destiny to be born like this.

But that doesn't limit my hopes and dreams. I will definitely succeed in the future and will silence all those who have ever insulted me and tell them. They're real losers. Like a firm sky. I will destroy every arrogance they have" He shouted

Suddenly the wind stopped blowing.

[Ding...]

[Whether the host will accept the System,]

[Yes No]

"System..?" The young man thought for a moment.

He wasn't stupid, but he wanted to know why the System was beeping in his head. He distributed his gaze around and found a holographic screen plastered over where he was looking.

"Is this real, should I try it?" He said and then he clicked on something that said options.

"Yes..."

[Installation will start, Please host aware]

5%

25%

50%

75%

100%

"Aaaaaaaaa........!!

The shabby youth had an excruciating headache every time the percent number increased, it was as if the world was spinning randomly.

... Nyut.. Nyut..!! His head was throbbing until a few minutes passed and he bit his lip until it bled. After the torture ended, he heard a voice.

[Congratulations to Host. System Installation has been completed successfully, now you are the successor of the 1001st system user]

The shabby young man was surprised to hear a reassuring voice "If you really are the System, and it's like what was told in the novel I've read. Show me what you can do for me!"

He was talking to himself and was seen by some passers-by in the slums.

"Maybe that person has gone mad after being beaten up by a rich man's kid"

"Yes, earlier he was screaming while rolling on the ground"

"Too bad" they said as they walked away.

Actually, why is it called slum? Because in that place there are only ordinary people who live in poverty. But the poor also fall into his category.

There are poor people, they can still enjoy comfort, although not like rich people.

Some are so poor, they can barely eat.

Like this shabby young man we are talking about. He is included in the very poor category.

The young man's name is David Lewis, he only attended elementary school. But he's still smart.

But now with the awakening of the System within him. Could that change shake the world?

[I can make you a world-shaking tycoon like your previous dream]

"Aren't you overdoing it, System?" he asked doubtfully

[No, try reading a novel about systems. Then you will get amazing things like stories in novels]

System suggestion!

"Okay," said David, laughing happily. This time, he got a possible 100% chance of success.

David is a common name when people call him..

"He really is crazy"

"Let him. Pay no attention"

Those who had passed before, now passed again and told again about the shabby youth who was laughing alone.

I'll give it a try first. "System, show me my status"

[Ding... Mystery Box opens]

[Congratulations Host got the Sky Pavilion, and the files are already in the inventory]

[Congratulations to the Host getting an additional three powers]

[Congratulations Host got one car and the car is already in the apartment parking lot]

"Hmmm thanks system. you are very kind" he said sincerely.

[Congratulations you have obtained Resurrection Elixir to compliment the system]

"Is this potion able to heal these broken hands and feet? Because it's useless if you can't. What's the point of having a system if I'm still handicapped"

[Master is right. The potion can heal and even repair your body, and the potion will expire in five minutes. The countdown has started from the moment the potion was obtained, 3:57 seconds remaining]

David just took it from the inventory system. And open the lid. Without asking too much, he took a sip of the potion.

Nothing had changed after a few minutes had passed. "Are you tricking me?"

Before the system could respond, David's body began to stiffen and uncontrollably. He wanted to scream but he felt someone cover his mouth

Bones begin to be destroyed and reshaped. But every time he was formed his tears kept falling because of the pain.

After a while, everything came back intact. However, with a newer look.

David felt his body stronger and the bones in his body felt stronger.

He held up his broken left hand "I can feel it" David was delighted. His leg returned and found healing there as well. David was hopping on the low grass, then he walked towards the river after touching his facial bone transformation.

The river reflecting the light of the full moon was able to reflect his now handsome face "I am also more handsome" Now he is very sure of this system.

Then he hurriedly ran into the small hut left by his deceased parents.

He took a few pieces of cloth and threw a sarong and tied it there, after which he carried it on his shoulder.

On the way he sang a song that was often heard on the battered radio in the shack.

Today I will sing.

.... Remember all the memories I've ever had..*

"System, please help me find a shortcut to the apartment"

(Ding... Shortcut found)

The GPS on the blue screen shows David's current location and the destination is Apartments.

After going through the bends that turned left and right, walked straight, up and down the stairs he finally arrived and he saw from a distance this elite 22-storey building. He approached, but was stopped by a security guard

"This is not a public place, this is a special place for the rich, beggars are prohibited," said the security guard, sneering when he saw David, who was dressed cheaply and shabby.

David saw the name written on the left chest that read Security guard then he said "Don't be arrogant, maybe I am the owner of this building" he said.

David did not want to be seen as poor or considered a beggar like he used to be.

Because the system can be trusted. David has changed his personality which used to be quiet and only kept quiet when he was cursed at and even beaten. Now he will respond with whatever he likes.

Hearing strange answers from the people in front of him, the security guard was angry, he took a stick and was about to hit David "If you don't go, don't blame this stick for breaking your arms and legs."

Hearing the word broken arms and legs, David was immediately angry. He challenged the security guard "If you really dare to hit!" he said with a sharp gaze.

Seeing those eyes made the security guard's heart shrink, but he ignored it. He was sure there was nothing wrong with hitting a beggar. Then the stick descended towards the head quickly. But for David, who has mastered ancient martial arts, he hasn't perfected it yet. He was able to dodge and hit the cocky security guard in the stomach.

Braak...!!

The security guard took three steps backwards and hit his back against the apartment fence. He sat down on the ground holding his stomach and rubbing his back which seemed to be torn to pieces...

Footsteps reached David and Security's ears. Then both of them turned towards the sound and the most happy there was the security guard. He smiled then said to David. "You're done," he said, standing up.

"What's going on? I heard the sound of a fight" Asked the figure who had just come, it turned out he was the head of the security guard there who had just come out of the toilet.

"He's the commander," he pointed to David who was still standing casually while carrying a bundle of cloth.

"What is up with her?" The commander glanced briefly at David

"He insisted on going in and I wanted to stop him. But he hit me hard," he said without telling the truth. Because he knew his commander really cared about the poor people.

The wise commander asked David. "Is what he said true?"

"He kicked me and forced me out and wanted to beat me without saying anything nice. Even though I have a new apartment here that was bought by my father" David lied a little.

With a frown Joni heard the answer from the young man who was not convinced. Commander Joni glanced again at Mukhlis, then asked. "Have you confirmed the truth?"

"He didn't say he had an apartment here, he said he owned all the buildings. That's why I kicked him out, I think he's just a madman. And because the commander saw the way this dirty man was dressed, he couldn't possibly be a rich man's son." Muklis denied.

The commander once again scanned David with his eyes from top to toe, indeed none of them characterize a rich man's son. But he didn't dare to fully convince his judgement, "is what he said true?" He thought to himself, then Joni asked "Can I see the apartment ownership file?"

David lowered his cloth bundle and opened it. He took the file and handed it to the commander, the commander immediately took the folder in front of him and opened it, after which his eyes widened "This is the ownership of the entire apartment building, not just one but all of them. It means the person in front of him is, Boss」

He suppressed his excitement with a calm face.

"Excuse me beforehand, but to confirm the truth, you have to show your ID Card first"

David immediately took his Id Card from his trouser pocket. He previously asked the system to create a new identity for him. And the system asks to take it in his back trouser pocket.

"This is my ID," he said politely. Because other people are polite he is also shy.

After matching the name of the Id Card and the name on the file, the commander immediately bowed and said "Sorry I didn't greet you properly young BOSS, call me Joni and about this person," he pointed "I will fire him now young BOSS"

Seeing his commander bow before the person he wanted to hit. Muhlis felt bad, especially after hearing that the Commander was going to fire him, he immediately approached the shabby young man. He realized his mistake this time was very fatal. He firmly believed that his commander would not submit if not to a great person.

Muhlis immediately sat down and held David's feet. He immediately said with tears in his eyes. "Don't fire me, boss! I will do any punishment. As long as I don't get fired. Many stomachs in my house need to eat, "he said pitifully.

David stepped back and released his feet from the hugs of the mukhlis.

"You should have thought earlier. Okay, I'll give you one more chance and this is the last time. Commander Joni will report your behavior in the future. If something like this happens again, I will fire you. In fact, I can make you unable to work anywhere" He threatened with a sharp look...

Located in the integrated Mayapada Banua Center area, Sky Paviliun is an apartment surrounded by Malls, Offices, Cinemas, Hotels and Convention Centers. Enjoy the convenience of an Urban Lifestyle for every family or couple..

Sky Paviliun is an exclusive residence with five-star facilities that provide comfort for business and family events.

The Sky Pavilion manager ran over in a hurry, everyone was looking on and wondering in their minds.

"Do you know who could make a manager walk like that?"

"Do we have a big boss?" The receptionist started gossiping with the person next to her.

"Maybe, we have to dress up pretty in case he has a handsome son," said the woman next to him.

The Security Commander named Joni was already waiting at the entrance of the Paviliun. After seeing Mr. Handoko running, he immediately approached and heard the sound of irregular breathing "Is what you say true, Joni!?" Ask Mr. Handoko as manager of Sky Pavilion.

"I've confirmed it, sir. Let's see if my eyes are low-sighted," Joni said, handing over the file in his hand to Mr. Handoko

Meanwhile, David was still waiting, leaning against the railing. He saw two people who were having a serious conversation. Then the two of them drew closer to him. Then a man who was neatly dressed and had a quarter of his hair missing spoke.

"Sorry to keep the young master waiting here. Introduce my name is Handoko, I am in charge of the Sky Paviliun. Please young master follow me" he said.

Then invite David to go to the private area, there is an elevator that goes straight to the boss's room which has never been occupied by anyone.

Because since the establishment of the Sky Pavilion, Handoko has never met the owner. Just had a phone interview.

Handoko entered the special director's elevator and pressed button 22. Because the Sky Pavilion building consists of 22 floors and the 22nd floor is the director's special room.

In the elevator, Handoko didn't dare to make a sound. He even breathed very slowly not wanting to disturb his young boss.

He didn't even think he'd get the chance to get to know this rich young figure. "How are his parents rich?" He thought to himself that his back was soaked with sweat and his hands seemed to be trembling too.

"Don't be nervous, I'm used to living in poverty, so just think of me as a poor person next to you," said David, which immediately made more sweat drip down Handoko's forehead.

"If he is poor, then what am I?" he thought again. But he did not dare to answer. Even though the person beside him was only dressed plainly and unfit for a rich person. "The rich man's child is free to do anything. The important thing is he is happy."

[High...] The sound of the elevator interrupts Handoko's reverie.

The two of them got out of the elevator and showed a beautiful view of the city from the top of the 22-floor building.

"I'll be back first young master, if young master needs anything. Call me any time. This is my business card" while holding out a small business card wrapped in silver. After being received by David, Handoko bowed slightly and turned towards the elevator again.

David entered the best and widest room in the Sky Pavilion.

He circled the large room and one by one opened the doors of the other small rooms. David found a mini bar complete with contents, there is a small cinema. There is also a study and a spacious bedroom with separate bathroom.

He threw down a bundle of sarongs then jumped onto the foam mattress.

"This feels like a dream, it's hard to build a new character too, but I have to do it so no one dares to make fun of me again" David muttered, then closed his eyes...

Sunlight that penetrated from the glass that was not covered by the curtains hit David's face and immediately blinked his eyes. Slowly he opened his eyes and looked around to make sure he had not had a dream last night.

David then jumps into bed to contemplate his body. "Really comfortable life of the rich"

"Show Status..."

(Congratulations The ancient Self Defense Skill has been activated)

"Why don't you say the process is painful?"

(Sir did not ask)

"Damn this system is making fun of me" he cursed.

He began to feel another change in his body and hundreds of Martial Skill moves were recorded in his brain.

Then he walked towards the bathroom. David was stunned again to see what was there, he touched everything as if not touching it would disappear.

After taking a shower David opened the cupboard and found lots of casual clothes as well as work clothes. David tried them all one by one while looking at his body in the big mirror.

He was happy to see his muscular body.

"System, what can my one million dollars be used for?"

(You can buy whatever you want, as long as you have enough funds)

"Then how to increase speed, strength and intelligence?"

(All of that will be obtained according to the task completed or you can buy it with the funds in the system. Prices vary according to level)

(Ding..... System task triggered. Saved a woman from being raped in one of the women's restrooms)

(Accept Yes/no)

"Is there an assignment that can be refused? And is there a penalty for being accepted but failing?"

(For the current task it can be rejected and not get penalized, because it is a low level task only)

David pressed the Yes button on the blue screen in front of him. Then he asked the system to help him find his exact location.

He pressed the third floor elevator button while wearing clothes. A few seconds later David arrived at the third floor And he immediately ran while looking at the location on the blue screen.

Several people cursed as they collided with him.

Braak...!!

The door to the women's bathroom was kicked in hard, after confirming that it was the one that was making the sound for help.

But the kick didn't damage the door, only the safety lock broke. David found the figure of a beautiful woman who was almost violated by a middle-aged man inside.

He is of course angry!
