David Lidell vomited blood and passed out when he was enraged by his rival in love. When he woke up, he realized he had obtained a super lavish system, and it was asking him to spend a quadrillion dollars. After that, David embarked on the journey toward the pinnacle of his life.
"David, let's break up!"
In a small and secluded forest on the side of the field in South River University. Sarah Jensen said to her boyfriend, David Lidell. "Sarah, why? What did I do wrong? Why do you have to be so heartless?" David asked, slightly emotional.
They were both friends from high school and had started dating when they were in senior three. Even though David's family background was not that great, he was very handsome, and he was good at studies, he was a typical boy who was considerate and family-orientated. When he was young and inexperienced in high school, he was naturally the crush of many of the female students.
Sarah was not bad either. She was the most beautiful girl in class, and although her studies were not as great as David's, she was still one of the best students.
Teachers often criticized them when they started dating. The teachers only decided to close one eye on their relationship after the two of them promised multiple times that they would not neglect their studies and would break up immediately if their studies worsened.
Just as they said this, both of them managed to get into the national key university, South River University, and a lot of people envied them.
However, David did not expect Sarah to start to keeping her distance from him less than a year after he started university. Now, she was directly proposing breaking up with him. In reality, at the start of the semester, he noticed the changes in Sarah. Whenever they were together, Sarah's mind would be somewhere else. Moreover, she also used a lot of excuses to turn down the dates he proposed.
On one of the Saturdays, he even saw Sarah get into the car of a play boy in their class. However, he still comforted himself that they were only going for a friend's gathering.
However, Sarah's proposal to break up today shattered David's imagination.
"David, let's part ways without hard feelings and leave a beautiful memory for the both of us, okay?"
"Sarah, tell me, is it because of Leo Tate?"
"What if it is?"
"Sarah, Leo is famous for being a playboy in the university. He even got a female student pregnant last semester, don't you know that?"
"Leo explained it to me. It was a mistake after both of them were drunk. Besides, that girl is the one who made the first move. He even compensated the girl after that."
"Sarah, don't believe him. He's lying to you. He's dating a lot of people at the same time."
"Alright, David, I am just here to tell you about this. Please stop pestering me. Goodbye." After Sarah said that, she turned around to leave.
However, David stopped her. "Sarah, listen to me. Leo is not a good person. Don't be fooled by him. Did he force you to do this? I'm sure he did! I'm going to look for him!"
Sarah flung David's hand away and said, "David, stop lying to yourself and others. Leo didn't force me. I'm willing to do this. I don't want to be with you anymore. After we graduate, we'll have to work hard to make money so that we can buy a house, a car, and pay back our loans. We'll be tied to our housing loan forever. I want to eat good food, wear nice clothes, and use expensive things, do you understand? Do you see this
bag on me? It's the latest one from L Brand and it cost more than ten thousand bucks. I will never be able to enjoy this for the rest of my life if I stay with you. You will never be able to give me what Leo can give me."
"But Leo is just playing with you. He won't marry you. He's ditched countless people already." David tried hard one last time.
"Hey, hey hey, Mr. David Lidell, it's not nice bad-mouthing someone behind their back." A voice entered both of their ears, and they turned to see Leo walking over, adorned in branded clothes. After this, he immediately reached out to grab Sarah's waist.
"Leo, you're here." Sarah leaned on Leo's body, appearing cute and helpless.
When David saw Leo holding Sarah's waist the moment he arrived, and the way Sarah leaned on Leo, he felt as if his heart was bleeding.
He knew nothing he said would work anymore. Once a woman had a change of heart, it would be difficult for her to turn back. He did not want to see them being lovey-dovey and sweet with each other. Hence, he said to Sarah, "Sarah, one day, you'll regret the decision you made today."
Then, he got ready to leave.
"Wait," Leo called out to David.
Then, he turned around to say to Sarah, "Sarah, you should leave first. I'll go get you after I exchange a few words with David."
"Leo, let's leave together! I've broken up with David, so there's nothing to talk about."
"Don't worry, it's just a few words. It won't affect our relationship."
"Alright, you should hurry. I'll wait for you at the entrance of the campus." After Sarah said that, she looked at the two of them before leaving.
"Just spit it out. If you want to see me being battered and bruised after the loss of my love, I'm afraid I'm going to have to disappoint you. There are so many girls out there and I won't keep pursuing the same one."
Even though David's heart was bleeding, he still said this stubbornly. He could display his devastation and heartbreak in front of Sarah and lose all of his dignity, but he would never show Leo this side of him.
"David, I only want to tell you something."
After Leo said that, he took two steps forward and whispered in David's ear, "Sarah has such a hot body. You've been together for so long, I didn't expect you two to still be... alright, I should go now. Sarah is still waiting for me and I've booked a presidential suite in Golden Leaf Hotel! Do you know that place? It's an eight-star hotel and you'll never be able to afford a meal there for the rest of your life."
Leo turned around and left after he said that. As he was walking, he laughed carefreely. "Hahaha!"
After David heard what Leo said, he felt dizzy.
He had been with Sarah for four years, and throughout those years, they only held hands and kissed. Whenever David tried to do something more, Sarah would stop him. She said she would only give him the best thing after they were married.
However, he did not expect Sarah to do it with Leo after a few days of being together...
At this moment, David felt his blood rushing wildly to his brain and his eyes turn red. He could not control it anymore. A mouthful of blood sprayed out of his mouth and he passed out on the ground.
When David woke up, he was in the university's infirmary.
As he was about to get up, a voice sounded in his head.
[Ding!
[Binding the super lavish system...
[10%...
[30%...
[50%...
[80%...
[100%...
[Binding complete.]
Then, a screen that only David could see appeared in front of his eyes.
[Host: David Lidell

[Body: 15 (Weak)
[Mind: 28 (Normal)
[Skills: Can be added freely, needs to use up lavish points
[Lavish points: 0]
Before David could understand what was going on, he heard the sound in his head again.
[Welcome, host David Lidell, to the super lavish system. This system is a one-to-one single binding system and cannot be transferred. Once the host dies, the system will disappear.
[The host's balance is already bound to all the banks around the world and the host can use their fingerprints, face, or pupils to pay.
[How to use the system: The host, David Lidell, will obtain one lavish point after spending 100 million dollars. The lavish point can be used to better the host's body, wits, skills, and also their skills.
[Rules: There is only one rule. The host is forbidden from negotiating the price of whatever the host wants to buy. A beggar who negotiates the price will not be worthy of the system.]
It was June, at the crack of dawn, a beautiful woman woke up with pains wracking her body and a splitting headache in a presidential suite of a five-star hotel, somewhere in the capital city, Nordeny. She felt utterly exhausted. Her head was killing her. It was as if she had woken up in a stranger's body. The young woman was Anya MacMillan. She forced her eyes open and pushed herself up. The sight before her baffled her. A huge bed. Messy sheets with streaks of dried dubious fluids stained. Clothes strewn across the bed and the floor. Clothes that belonged to her and a man. Anya jerked in shock. She whipped her head around and stared at the other side of the bed. On the huge and messy bed slept the man whom she had been secretly in love with forever. Evan Welton, the most sought-after bachelor in the capital city. The Adonis of Nordeny. Exhaustion lined his handsome face. His eyes were tightly shut. He showed no signs of waking up. He was completely naked, His finely sculpted form laid completely bare to Anya's eyes. The pounding in Anya's head worsened. Her breathing quickened. Did she...had she...with Evan...last night? Anya shoved aside the splitting pain in her head and forced herself to recall what had happened last night. Last night...she remembered that she had paid a visit to her stepmother. What had happened after that? Her memories were a blur. Her head felt heavy and her neck was killing her. Amid the fog clouding her head, snippets of memories flashed. She remembered heated touches, naked flesh and then some... There was no doubt about it. They had sex. It must be her stepmother. Her stepmother must have drugged them! Anya couldn't think of anyone else who would do something so vicious to her! Anya felt an alarm sound off in her head. 'She had to get out of here,' she thought. She tried to clamber out of bed immediately. She knew exactly who Evan Welton was. The man set to inherit the vast fortunes of the wealthiest family in Nordeny and the bachelor whom every young woman from any respectable family sought to marry. A man who loathed the advances of women he didn't know. Angering him would mean death. Anya imagined the possibility of Evan waking up right now. What would he think when he saw the mess? There was no way she could talk her way out of this one. She had been secretly in love with the man since she had been a girl. She didn't want the man to detest her. Anya scrambled to get out of bed. Suddenly, something shot towards her from the other side of the bed. He wrapped himself around her slender waist and yanking her back forcefully. The next moment, she was trapped under someone. She heard a husky male voice, rough with anger and through a clenched jaw. "Anya MacMillan...how dare you drug me..." Anya's mind cleared up. The fog that had clouded her head dispelled immediately. She shook her head frantically. "I didn't do it! It wasn't me..." "You didn't? How did you end up in my bed then?" Evan detested such shameless and stealthy means. His fingers tightened around Anya's pale arms. His strong grip nearly crushed her fragile bones. Pain spiked down Anya's arms. Her eyes reddened as she repeated herself. Evan wasn't interested in listening to her denials. In his view, she was just another despicable, loose woman who drugged him so that she could sleep with him. He released his grip on her and shoved her aside roughly. Then, he got out of bed and began to dress himself. "I don't want to see you again. Ever. Appear in my sight again and you're dead." The young man pulled on the rest of his clothes angrily. It was then that Sydney, Anya's stepsister, burst into the room suddenly. The sight of the mess in the room sent her into an instant rage. She had thought that the drug would make them pa** out and put up a deception of them having had sex. They weren't supposed to actually sleep with each other!
“Ouch…” As Maisie gradually regained her consciousness, all she could feel was her splitting headache and the throbbing pain all through her body, as if she had just been hit by a car. She furrowed her brows at the unease, but she could not find the strength to shrug it off. She could barely make out the silhouette of the man in the dark but could smell the unique fragrance of Gucci cologne, lightly wafting through the air. The man stayed silent the entire time while he pressed his body against her, kissing and nibbling her slender neck… As dawn crept up, the morning sun shone in. Maisie suddenly opened her eyes. She was astonished to find herself na*ed in bed with a stranger lying next to her. He had his back turned against her. Maisie’s face turned pale as flashbacks of the night before suddenly came back rushing back to her. It was not a dream after all! How had she ended up here?
I stared out across the water watching the sunset as the sky puts on its final show for the day. Today was my only day off, and after I helped my parents at our cottage, they let me come to hang out at my favorite spot on the water for the last few hours of the day. The sound of the waves on the water is always a very soothing sound to me, and I need it. I hide out in a spot where I can't be seen unless you know where to look. I have been here hundreds of times and have seen some of the other teenagers from school, but I choose not to show myself. I have to deal with them enough during the school week, and I really don't want to associate with them anyway. My name is Gabrielle Emerson, and I live in the Red River pack in Fairview, CA. We live near the Shasta National Forest, off of Trinity Lake, and it is a beautiful area. Fairview sits at the bottom of Trinity Lake, and it is really nice to live by a body of water. I stay until the sun has completely set in the sky and all you can see is the darkness, pierced by the beautiful light from the stars and the moon high in the sky.
My family was on the poverty line and had no way to support me in college. I had to work part-time every day just to make ends meet and afford to get into the university. That was when I met her—the pretty girl in my class that every boy dreamt of asking out. I was well aware she was out of my league. Nevertheless, I mustered all my courage and bravely told her that I had fallen for her. To my surprise, she agreed to be my girlfriend. With the sweetest smile I had ever seen, she told me that she wanted my first gift for her to be the latest and top-of-the-line iPhone. I worked like a dog and even did my classmates’ laundry to save up. My hard work eventually paid off after a month. I finally got to buy what she wanted. But as I was wrapping my gift, I saw her in the dressing room, making out with the captain of the basketball team. She then heartlessly made fun of my inadequacy and made a fool out of me. To make things worse, the guy whom she cheated on me with even punched me in the face. Desperation washed over me, but there was nothing I could do but lie on the floor as they trampled on my feelings. But then, my father called me out of the blue, and my life turned upside down. It turned out that I was a billionaire's son.
