Michael woke up with a splitting headache. He was confused as the last thing he remembers is being shot while at work.
Michael is a 35 year old male who works in a gas/petrol station as a cashier. He has been working this job for almost a year. The pay is lousy at only $10 USD per hour. He earns barely enough money every month to over his bills and nothing more. The only reason he is even able to afford that is because he also gets a check from the Department of Veterans Affairs as a disabled veteran himself.
When he woke up he realized it was 10 years earlier when he was 25 again. He also head his cell phone going off. He has an iphone 11. He only upgraded to the 11 recently because his previous iphone 7 stopped working.
He was going to ignore his phone except it kept ringing nonstop. When he sat up from bed to check it he saw a notification from an app he did not recognize. The app was simply called 'Rewards' and the notification read "welcome, Michael, to the rewards system. Please open the application for further information."
Michael opened the app and was first greeted by a blank white screen before it darkened to black and text appeared on the screen.
"welcome, this is the rewards system. It will provide you with different rewards of varying value based on milestones, accomplishments, and current net worth. As a beginners gift you may choose any 3 of the following to get started.
1) $15,000 USD
2) Permanent 2x cash back on any purchases which could bring value to you (With limitations, and as determined by the system)
3) company Shares valued at $75,000 USD
4) a method to continuously increase your physical status.
5) low grade construction card that can be used to build any facility up to $1.5million in value.
6) random roulette draw.
Michael looked at these options and contemplated for a few moments before he decided on options 2, 4, and 5. He chose these believing using option 2 he could purchase shares of companies using his own money and get cash back from that which would make options 1 and 3 pointless.
After making his decision the system prompted him again.
*ding*
"congratulations on accepting your beginners gift package, you have selected options 2, 4 and 5. Please continue to strive towards your goals.
He was not sure if this was even legitimate at this time but he also received another notifications prompting him that his phone was downloading something.
When he checked the download it showed that it was the method to upgrade his physical status. He also noticed there was a new button in the rewards app that allowed him to use the construction card he chose. He clicked it and it pulled up a map of San Antonio and its surrounding areas.
He looked around the map and found a plot of land on the outskirts of San Antonio that was approximately 50 hectares (120 Acres) in size. He selected it and then it prompted him to design the facility he wanted to build. It gave him options on the type of facility being office building, house, warehouse, etc.. he chose to have a house built so he could move out of the apartment he had been living in. He designed his dream home being approximately 5,000 square feet per floor (465 Square meters) and having 5 floors. 2 above ground and 3 underground. Above ground he designed it like a normal house, having a living room, kitchen, dining room, office space and bathroom on the ground floor (first floor), the 2nd floor had 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms as well has an open area to make into any type of space he wanted.
Underground the first floor was the same as the ground floor except instead of a kitchen and dining room he had a bedroom. in the office space in the first underground floor there was a bookshelf that hid the staircase going to the 2nd underground floor.
The 2nd underground floor coming from the stairs led to an open area that had a kitchen and dining room. There was also another office and bedroom here. this floor would be his main living space.
In the kitchen there was a hidden space under the counter that had a stair case that lead underground to a liquor lounge. In the office space there was another book case that had a hidden space going down stairs to a vault.
The Vault and Liquor lounge were the only 2 things on the 3rd underground floor.
once he finished designing this we clicked submit in the app and out of no where a property deed and house deed appeared on his bed next to him. He looked at it and realized it was exactly the house and land he chose. This made him realize the system was real.
Realizing this he decided with his next paycheck he would invest it into company stocks to see if his theory about receiving cashback for it is correct. After doing all of this it was still early in the morning and he decided to go back to sleep as he has to work the night shift today from 5pm to 1am.
