Youngest On Top

The Duke's youngest son is Unbearable

"Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely…" Man, these words are simple yet very true. The one who said these words must have really been… "corrupted," hehe. Does power corrupt? Maybe. But why? Is it power's very nature to corrupt? If that's true, does that mean everyone who has power is… corrupted? And if they are, then how much? Partially, slightly, or fully? Who, then, is the most corrupt? Is it the police, who have the power of law over the people who break it? Or is it the military, with the power of weapons? Or is it the politicians, controlling the police, the military, and the infamous red buttons? Or perhaps it's the people who fund those politicians—those who control everything from the shadows. To know who is the most corrupt, we need to figure out who is the most powerful. If I asked a random person, "Who's the most powerful being?" they'd probably answer with one word: God. Well, it makes sense. I mean, God Himself says in His holy scriptures that He is the source of all power. The most powerful being there was, is, and will ever be. If He is the source of all power... And if power's very nature is to corrupt... Then does that mean "God," the source of all power, is also the source of all corruption?! I rubbed the back of my neck, my lips twitching into a nervous smile. Probably not, but then again… Angels, the second most powerful beings, worship God and cannot disobey Him. At least in Islam, they can't. Christianity? Well, that's a whole different ballgame. So I don't know—maybe. But what about the people who believe in God? There are plenty of radicals out there. I mean, I've seen enough news stories about people blowing themselves up in the name of God. Killing others in His name. Some even believe they're chosen by God, so they kill for Him. Are they believers in God? Corrupted by the Devil? Or enlightened beings who see something my dumb self doesn't? I squinted, tapping my fingers rhythmically against my thigh. Man, I don't know about Hell, but after all these blasphemous thoughts, I don't think God's letting me into Heaven either. Now, everyone's probably wondering, Why are you talking about these blasphemous things? Well, it's my grandma's fault. "What did she do?" Nothing! It's not what she did—it's what she said. When I was little, my grandma used to say, "If you have nothing to do, think about God." So, technically, it's her fault.

World Domination: My Rise To The Top

Some people already have their life planned out or at least they feel they do. They already have an idea of what and who they are going to become, and how they are going to go achieving it. But more often than not, life always has an entirely different thing planned. And sometimes, something better. This was the same for James. As someone who already has his life planned out and has the best, has the safest plan on how to make something out of himself and become somebody, he had his priorities set right. All he just wants is to graduate and become a world renowned mechanical engineer. And this is why he studied hard and worked extremely hard at his part time job. Even with how life kept tossing him around and making it seem like he was the only one not moving forward while others were, he was still focused on his dreams. The truth is that he also wants to be like his peers, he wants to drive the flashy cars he sees the rich drive on the street of LA, he also wants to fly first class, he wants to travel the world and experience the best that life has to offer, but all that comes at a cost—money. Something he barely have even after busting his ass, working for three years. To make things worst, the job market wasn't looking too good either. It was looking like the two years he has already spent in the university and the two more years he's going to spend are going to be a waste. And there was very little he could do about it. Coming back to his apartment one night, after getting fired, James just wanted to give up on everything, but no matter how hard be tried, he couldn't. Frustrated with everything and even more with himself, James went to bed after hoping that next day will be different. But who knew that his dream will come through. Out of nowhere, James got a system and one with a feature that fixed the biggest problem he has. [Ding!] [You spent $280. 10x Rebate has been applied. You have received $2,800.
