RUINED WORLD!

It was such a bleak night. Lay was sitting on the floor beside his bed with a bottle of beer in his hand. He couldn't believe that Cheska, his first and only girlfriend, cheated on him with his stepbrother.

As he took the last sip of the beer, his phone rang. It was Fiona, his best friend.

"Fiona? What's up, Bess?" He wanted to try making his tone a bit energetic, but his face just didn't agree as he leaned his back on the bed.

"Hello dude! I'm sorry for calling this late. I just have an emergency!" Fiona said, which made him bitterly smile as, in his mind, it was just another problem.

"Spill the beans!" He replied in a very sluggish tone.

"Wait, are you okay?" Fiona immediately asked. Well, she knew the boy very well, and with his tone, she felt like it was strange.

"Of course! Haha!" He even managed to laugh just to hide how pitiful he was at the moment. "So what's the problem now?"

He could hear how Fiona sighed in the other line before she answered. "Dude, can you please pay me now? My mother is currently in the hospital, and I really need the money. Even just the $5,000 you borrowed last month."

He puffed out of frustration. Damn! The world seems to have showered all the problems and pain on him.

"I'm really sorry to hear what happened to your mother, Fiona. Don't worry, I'll find ways to pay you tomorrow," he seriously replied.

"Thank you, dude. I didn't want to ask you for the payment too, but I really have nothing now."

"It's okay. I understand! Come on, what are friends for?" He said, though he doesn't know what to do anymore either. He wishes someone could have his back too, help him, and tell him that it's going to be okay.

"Thank you! Just call me tomorrow. Bye!"

After the call ended, his whole body just seemed to have fallen apart. He checked his bank account; it had nothing but $5 left.

"F***ck my life!" he uttered as his phone slipped from his hand and fell on the floor.

What can $5 do for him? He had a lot to pay, from bills, rent, tuition fees, and his debts.

He wanted to scream out loud and cry in pain, but this time, even tears didn't want to fall from his eyes anymore. He felt very tired, as if he wanted to think and do something to fight and find a solution, but his body just didn't cooperate.

He's just blankly staring at the door of his room; he can't even blink, as it seems like everything stopped right at the moment, and he felt like it was hell because of pain that even he cannot describe. Feeling so helpless and with no hope to rise up. "I wanna die! God, I wanna die."

He mumbles in a flat and cold tone, then his hand reaches for the bottle of beer. He bitterly smiled and smashed the bottle on the floor.

Whack!

A loud cracking sound echoed in the whole room. He firmly grips the broken bottle and slowly moves it towards his wrist. He's full of determination, and his face looked so expressionless, like it had never been before.

But as soon as the sharp, broken piece of the bottle touched his wrist, before he could slash it, his phone beeped, which seemed to have awakened him from his complete desperation to die.

He looked at the floor; a message had popped up.

"Damn! I was in the moment of resting in peace already and just a spam message, a complete scam, interrupts me?" He puffed, unable to believe what he had almost done to himself too.

[Activate the sudden rich system by clicking the link: sudden rich system link: srs://Luche.Lay/Fererro.rich]

"Sudden rich system?" Lay sniggered. The message was absolutely a scam, and he is 100% not believing what has been said.

But later on, he doesn't know what to do or think anymore. Then something just seemed to urge him to click the link. He shook his head, thinking that he had nothing to lose anyway. He even wants to die because he has nothing but pain and problems now.

After clicking the link, a metallic voice eventually sounded in his head.

[Congratulations!]

[You have successfully activated the crazy wealthy system.]

"Crazy wealthy system?" He mumbled and sniggered.

He can even hear some ugly robotic voices in his head and think that he's going crazy! He chuckles, as if he were so amused by himself.

"F***ck off, man! You're not crazy!" This time, he heard a womanly voice, which sounds pleasant but angry.

"What?" His brows furrowed. "Who are you?" He immediately got up and looked around, thinking that someone might be inside his room.

"You can only hear me, but you can't see me," the voice replied. "The system has given you 1 million dollars for level 1. Spend it within 7 days or I will kill you."

Lay gulped, unable to believe what he was hearing. "God! I'm really getting crazy!"

"I said that you are not crazy, but you're still thinking you are. Fine, you are such a crazy, dumb idiot!" Her tone seemed so pissed off.

"Lol! Are you really a wealthy system? Oh, right. A crazy wealthy system. Who's the crazy one who invented and made you able to cuss?" 

"It's you who triggered and fully activated the system. Idiot! If there is something wrong in the system, it is also your fault. Now, if you have questions, just call me. And since I am very good and nice, I will remind you again. Spend the 1 million dollars within 7 days or I will kill you."

Lay gulped. She said she was good and nice. Damn! She is cussing and even threatened to kill, but she was good and nice? Wow! This system must be kidding.

Yet he was now completely confused as he scratched his nape. He just shook his head and blinked his eyes. Then he took his phone from the floor.

"F****ck!" He cussed upon seeing what's on the phone's screen now.
