A natural panic swept across the classroom, 2-c, their final exams were approaching fast and many of the students were fearful of what their futures would hold if they failed them. Among the panicking students was alone one, sleeping at his desk at the back of the room,
Alex Dumas had no reason to panic as he knew that no matter what happens in the exams he will end up inheriting his Father's Corporation, the Dumas conglomerate. The corporation currently controlled the main business of Ironglade City, Jewel refinement and Jewellery creation, his father had found a unique way to tamper with the jewels without reducing their quality in the slightest.
As Alex slept, he failed to notice the sound of one of his classmates walking towards his desk, the incoming classmate was called Zhao Lan and could be considered the highest-scoring pupil in their year except for Alex who got almost perfect marks on every test due to his Eidetic memory, this had always annoyed the other Students and especially Zhao Lan who believed that Alex was using his Father's position to pressure the school into giving him good grades.
"Wake up you lazy bastard, you should be working now, just because you can fix your problems with money doesn't mean you can become a delinquent."
Alex slowly lifted his head off of the desk, looking Zhao Lan in the eyes he asked" What does my life have to do with you? Are you my Fiancee? Girlfriend? Love Interest? No? Then please fuck off, my concerns and grades are nothing to do with you, go and spend time with your friends while you still can. Life will destroy that freedom sooner than you know."
At first, Zhao Lan got angry, then sad before finally settling on angry again, she slapped Alex and said" You use your father to get good grades, you use his money to get yourself cars and women, are you not a little bit ashamed of yourself?"
Alex laughed and said in a deadpan tone" Why should I be ashamed? I use the resources at my disposal just like you would, my father is rich so why wouldn't I use his money? I get my grades for myself, I have a photographic memory, it makes tests easy and as for women? The fact you are here berating me proves that my natural charm pulls them towards me. A final question from me though, why does it matter to you?"
Seeing that Zhao Lan was getting more and more wound up, her friend, Yue Ming walked over to the two of them and asked" What are the two of you talking about? It is rare for you two to share a conversation with one another."
"Nothing important" Alex remarked before putting his head back on the desk, as soon as it touched the cold wooden surface, a low buzz rang out in his mind.
*System Starting up*
*Loading the Hedonistic System*

*Install complete, to see the host's current status, think 'Status', to see the host current quest, think 'Quest'. More functions of the system will be unlocked as the host levels up, Get questing!*
Confused Alex thought 'Status' and immediately a screen like a character page in a game appeared in his mind;

'Really?' Alex thought, 'Her have a positive opinion of me? Well, this will be a long few months I guess.' He then looked up from his desk and made eye contact with Zhao Lan who scowled instantly at him and turned to face the front of the room as the teacher for the second lesson of the day walking through the door...
