《Throne of World》Ch 22 | Idea to earn money
Advertisement
Inside Cottage number 2
Alexander who just returned from the bar was sitting on his bed, thinking about the great idea which came to his mind, while he was drinking with David at the bar.
When he listened to the talk about Long Xie's scams, he thought about a brilliant scheme to earn money and drown the tall long household.
'Heh! You Long family will push my dad's friend?'
'Although Taylor family isn't my own family but my father is sworn brother with David's father and David is my sworn brother. I need to push the Long family down the abyss.'
'If I can't even push a family down, then how am I able to become the throned king of the world?!'
[ Hey kid! That's the spirit! But what's your plan? ]
No one knows why but recently the evil and overruling voice has become the default voice of the World Overlord System.
The sudden voice startled Alexander, but he soon calmed down.
Hey! Can't you speak nicely?! And don't startle me every time!
[ You can't order me around! ]
[ Tell me your plan! How are you planning to push down the tall Long family? ]
Alexander rolled his eyes but still explained everything to the dominant system.
"I'll use capturing the flags method!"
[ Huh? ]
"The Long family stands tall because they are dependent on their dogs in the political field. Then they use scammed money to inject in their businesses and keep them stable. "
"If I can use their dogs and take their money then I can increase my own power as well as wealth simultaneously. "
[ Kid! Don't beat around the bush! Tell me straight! How you'll do it? ]
" I'll hack into their system! Steal some important information! Blackmail and coerce them! Money and their loyalty! I'll get them both! "

[ Hehe! That's a great plan! But are you capable?! ]
" Hey! Don't underestimate me! I was a PhD holder in computer science. Even though I used to research on hardware technology but I know about networks. Not to mention that this world is still far from mine in technological advancement."
[ I really didn't choose a wrong successor! But remember about your current mission. You can't fail it! ]
Alexander was feeling happy just now but was pulled back to reality after listening to the system's prompt.
He was still too fast from completing his goal of reading 100 books on medical science within a week.
'I need to study! But what?'
Hey, system! Do you have recommendations?
[ Before recommending you something, I need to ask you something. ]
Go ahead! It's not that you'll not ask if I don't say yes!
[ Hehe! You understand me well kid! ]
After a pause, the system's voice became more serious and deep, he asked a question that stumped Alexander's genius brain.
[ What is your way of conquering the world? You'll build an army to fight with tremendous blood flow of humanity or fight with wit to minimize blood flow? ]
Alexander started thinking about this deep question.
That's right! What will I do? I haven't even seen blood not to mention killing someone?!
What should I do?
From the time immemorial, great kings needed to sacrifice blood for sitting on the throne!
Can I do it?
I can't see people killing themselves for me… but sitting on the throne isn't easy!
Alexander who was always ready to answer any question was now trapped in a question he can't avoid!
What should he do? Choose killing or minimise blood loss?! Killing with an army means acquiring extraordinary resources and training everyone! Minimising blood meant to acquire otherworldly power to stomp on others!

Training everyone to peak may look difficult and unattainable but acquiring otherworldly power was impossible! This wasn't some novel, but a real-world!
Deep within the head of Alexander, two memories were struggling!
One white other black! Like the fight between evil and right! Like demons and gods!
His soul was introverted, living alone in hell. He didn't need anyone in his last life! He was alone, alone as the moon in the sky! The coldness of the moon didn't care about anyone!
His memories were of a loving lively boy! He had a family he loved, friends he loved and lives he needed to save.
The war between the two was creating havoc inside his head, after fighting for about fifteen minutes, his soul trembled with excitement and other memories inside his head were pushed down.
Gradually everything became silent! Without any motion!
The fight ended!
He raised his head and declared with determination and coldness apparent on his face.
" I'll save anyone I love and are innocent! But will kill anyone who is in my path of accession! "
" So what if people are killed! I'll become strong for me and my people! "
" I'll rise as a king! And sit on 'Throne of World'."

Blood Seekers -- The Monolith
Blood Seekers - Book 1, is now on Amazon, including the final chapters not posted here! https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B07MYJ5ZRC “You will die!” That's what the developers of Blood Seekers promised them... The most challenging MMO ever created—that’s how they advertised it. Taglines like, “Not your granddaddy’s game,” and, “Only for the hardest of the hardcore,” had gamers going crazy. Set in a gothic, Lovecraftian world, with fully realized A.I. NPCS, gamers were desperate to get their hands on the new game and dive in, and Clay was one of them. It was going to be tough, but he was ready for it. What he wasn’t ready for, was countless players having their minds hijacked and being transformed into mindless, hostile creatures filled with nothing but hate who killed anyone on sight. They called them the Bloodless. Clay’s best and only friend, Rey, moved across the country she was twelve, but they kept in touch online, playing countless games together, and when Blood Seekers was released, they were both ready to step up to the plate and face the new challenge together. But now, Rey has been taken by the plague, her mind held hostage as one of the Bloodless. A mysterious black monolith has appeared at the center of the highest level zone in the game, a place no one has even come close to. Some say it will provide us with answers. Others say it will only lead to more questions. Who’s behind all this? Why are people’s minds being taken? Will we ever get to bring them back? How many more will be lost if we stay logged in? Nothing is certain, but if there’s any chance that reaching the monolith will bring Rey back back, then Clay will do everything he can to reach it. This is Book 1 in a new series from Stephen Roark! I will be posting chapters here until the book is done and published on Amazon!
