《Ultimate Economic System》I'd Never Have Thought I'd Be Tired Of Quests
Advertisement
Early in the afternoon, after Ge Liang's fight, everyone was silent. None knew what to do, but all could recognise that this was a legend being born. Many years later, when Ge Liang told his sister that it was him, she was shocked. It had turned into a local folktale, told to children by parents to extol the virtues of courage and bravery. But back to the present. After work, Ge Liang checked his quests.
*Quest Completed! Corruption Of The Cashiers!*
Notes/Grading: S+
Created a local folktale, got admiration from all coworkers, created a legend! Truly an accomplishment. *BONUS QUEST FROM SYSTEM*
Reward: System Tech Level 1 Ballistic Weapon
A pistol, created by Humanity 200 years in the future.
T...T...Tech Level 1? What the hell were the further levels? This gun alone could most probably cause massive damage to whatever he wanted... he needed to keep it safe. Now that a mafia gang was hot on his heels, he was already planning to get some protection. However, this reward took it over the top. He would now not be afraid even to face a military squadron. However, he wanted to test it out.
*Psshhhhhhhh*
*Whirrrrrr*
*System User Identified*
*Safety Unlocked*
Power Modes:
Low
Medium (Locked By System)
High (Locked By System)
Ultra (Locked By System)
Ge Liang chose the low power setting, as it was the only one he had. Even if he had access to the other settings, this was a gun from 200 years in the future, and he would not like to accidentally cause the destruction of the planet. He fired once at a rock. The plasma bolt that was fired hung in the air for a quick second, then hit the rock. It seemed to do nothing. As Ge Liang was cursing the system.... BOOM. The rock exploded into little pieces. The "Grenade" setting seemed to be chosen. After a few hours, Ge Liang had tried all of the functions he had access to. Single Shot, Burst, Automatic and Grenade. He had the time of his life firing and destroying things. What fun! When he got home, he saw that Wei Qian had finished a couple more quests, bringing Ge Liang to 1000 System EXP. However, Ge Liang was excited to see the "Bonus Quest" the system gave him.

*Bonus Quest*
*Reach the rank of Global Elite on CS:GO*
*Description: This game will train your reflexes and strength, and the system wants you to get good at it, so you can carry me one day!*
*Reward: Laser Mode Unlock on Ballistic Weapon Level 1*
Wow... He had always known that this system of his was eccentric and weird, but never in his life had he expected it to shamelessly give him a damn quest to carry them in games! Sometimes he wondered whether he was the system's host or servant... Well, the system would do what the system wanted. He could earn a laser mode! Thinking about how powerful the original modes were, he was almost salivating at the thought of himself spraying his laser like a sword and destroying his enemies.
*6 Hours Later*
Ge Liang was filled with rage. All his teammates did was be trash... they could barely shoot an elephant right next to them! Ge Liang knew what he had to do. Gather a team of five to be his teammates, and succeed.
Oh shit... The author is experiencing a flash-forward!
A Protoxx Classroom - 2377, Earth Standard
"How did Earth's Power Five come to be?"
"We know already... They started as a gaming team!"
"Good, class. One of his race, the humans, will be visiting tomorrow. Be sure to be on your best behaviour."
Where did that flashback come from? Sorry guys, that was really an accident....
Anyways, he went about the process of finding teammates. His co-workers would make good teammates! Also, he could forge great bonds with them that would allow him to become a better and more successful manager! However, he'd do that tomorrow. It was already too late today... he headed home after a long day.

Dorm Of Ge Liang
Qiang Sen broke the awkward silence. "We know you are the supermarket monster. The one rumoured to have beat up gangsters and saved co-workers. Are you still the man we know?"
Ge Liang: .....
Aren't you underestimating me a little? Well.. it was true that his success thus far was because of the system. He reminded himself to never be arrogant, for the system had helped him through a lot.
"Yes, I am still the guy you know. Trust me, I have just been improving my skills."
There was an awkward silence again, as the dorm members had always considered Ge Liang to be one of them, but now their assumptions of reality were threatened...
Ge Liang ached to tell his friends about the system. However, it would simply be impossible. He did not want to arouse suspicion in anyone, but he also did not want to die of the system's poison! Feeling conflicted, he gave a "humph" and went to bed.
"Why is he so angry???"

Most people think having powers would be amazing. Not Nate. If he had it his way, he’d never use them and pretend they weren’t there. His powers, though, seem to have other ideas. Uncontrolled powers sound problematic on their own, but when people can destroy entire city blocks with a wayward glance, they become a whole new issue entirely. Nate has always felt like he’s had wary eyes watching him, waiting for him to slip up. So far, he’s managed to just barely keep his head down, but when his powers force him to step into the spotlight, he finds himself caught up in the one life he never wanted; heroism. Now, will he find a way to accept the powers he blames for all his problems, or will he crumble under the pressure? Note: I primarily upload on my website on Sundays . I'll upload here regularly up to a day after the chapters go live on the main site. Vote for aka on TopWebFiction! Feel free to join the aka Discord.

The story takes place on the world known as Edge, a place of fantasy and wonder. William Crow is an orphaned teen on the cusp of manhood, and is also a member of a class known as "soulless", for in this world those who do not develop their own "soul skill" become known as such. Soul skills vary in range and rarity, having many different functions and uses; however, not having one automatically makes an individual have incredibly low standing amongst society. William's inability to develop his own soul skill, along with the loss of his parents at a very young age, drives him into the corner of life. Making him a reserved and often frightened individual. However, his life changes drastically when he is chosen for one of the "Scouting" lotteries, in which the capital city forces some of the soulless to scout potential danger zones for monsters or enemy units.
