Roland looked at the screen and laughed to himself.
"Was I actually hurt this much? To the point that I'm already seeing things?"
Roland grew up in an orphanage from a poor village. After he grew up, he gradually distanced himself to others and decided to focus on his studies to have a better job in the future.
Two years ago, he met Anna on their twelfth grade and was instantly blown away by her beautiful appearance. His boring world became colorful as he found another reason to go to school aside from studying.
After two months of courting, he received Anna's sweet 'yes' and they became a couple since then. However, Anna mentioned that her parents were very strict in this kind of thing and hence, they decided to hide their relationship to the public for the time.
During these past two years, Anna became his world as he did everything to please her. She was treated like a princess. And even though Roland was very poor, he compensated for it by working hard just so he could afford to have a secret date with her from time to time.
Everything he earned on his part-time job was just to buy her things so that she could be happy. It was to the point that Roland no longer had the time to buy anything for himself with the little amount of wage he was getting from part-time work.
However, even with everything he did for her, she still decided to cheat.
And her reason? It was because he could not buy her expensive things such as the dress she was wearing earlier.
Roland understood that a girlfriend must be treated like a princess. Although he could not afford expensive items, he still treated Anna as a princess on his own way.
A man who could not treat his girl like a princess was not worthy of her.
Anna might have thought that he was this kind of a man. However, it was still not a reason for her to cheat. If she truly revolted being with him, she should have broken up with him long ago.
At that instant, Roland was very broken inside and out. The world that he gradually built during these past two years became a joke and started to crumble upon his eyes. What was even worse was that he was powerless to prevent it.
Anna clearly despised him to the core. Her love-affair, Bryan, was even an influential person with his father behind his back.
Roland could only silently accept the heartbreaking moment and endure it himself.
However, he just did not expect to get hallucinations after experiencing a heartbreak. He laughed to himself as he prepared to stand up from the ground.
However, before he could stand up, an excruciating pain suddenly assaulted his mind.
Suddenly, information that he never knew before filled his brain as he 'forcefully' understood a lot of things.
'This… is actually real?' He thought as he stared at the screen in front of him again, but this time, he no longer treated it as a hallucination caused by the massive grief he just experienced. He treated with a little skepticism, but also little expectation.
[Requirements: Experience a devastating heartbreak(Completed)]
[System bound!]
[Congratulations for unlocking the Face-Slapping System!]
[Sharpen your hands and get ready for face-slapping!]
[System Activation Rewards Granted: Please check as soon as possible!]
According to the information he just received from out of nowhere, the System was here to help him become the richest and the most powerful person in the world.
In other words, the System wanted him to conquer the world. Quite big words for such a lowly person like him, he thought.
A lot of information about the System has already been 'uploaded' inside his mind, however, Roland was still a little skeptical about the truthfulness of the whole situation. After all, what if the 'information' he just received was also part of the hallucinations?
"Ch-check the System Activation Rewards…" Roland said with a bit of hesitation in his voice.
Ding!
[Congratulations for successfully obtaining the Face-Slapping System. Here's your one-time activation rewards]
[500000 Global Dollars (Please check your pocket for the details)
100 Face-Slapping Points (Please spend wisely)

Reading the content, Roland felt gob smacked. At the same time, he grew more and more skeptical about the whole situation. However, deep inside his heart, he was actually hoping for all of this to be real.
Suddenly, Roland felt a bulge in his side pocket. He immediately inserted his hand and felt something physical touching his hands. He grasped it pulled it out of his pocket and to his surprise, it was actually black atm card surrounded with golden lines as a design around it.
At the upper left corner of the black atm card was the logo of a very famous bank around the world.
World's Premium Bank!
Below it was the chip surrounded by beautiful gold lines. Beside this line were golden text that read, "WPB VIP".
Below them were the bank number and then Roland's name written in clear and golden letters.
Roland flipped to the back and realized that only the information of the bank was written there. Roland then noticed a piece of folded paper pasted right below it.
He took and opened it with great curiosity.
[The 500000 Global Dollars was deposited in the account. The pin number is 126969, please change the pin as soon as possible.]
As he read through the note, Roland's heart was already beating in excitement.
In fact, since the moment he saw the black VIP card, he already confirmed for himself that everything and the System was real.
After all, he did not even have his own bank account, how could he own a VIP atm card? It was even registered at the world's famous bank, World's Premium Bank, no less. How could he not be elated by such a thing? Especially when the atm card was directly named to himself?
Not to mention, there was even 500000 Global Dollars deposited directly into the account. This kind of amount was very huge in his perspective, but for the World's Premium Bank and the account owners registered there, this amount of money might not even be around 1% of their entire wealth.
Storing 'just' 500000 Dollars in such a premium account seems pretty luxurious in Roland's opinion.
However, none of that mattered anymore. Roland clenched the atm card as if his whole life depended on it.
He even ignored the second reward, which was the 100 Face-Slapping Points as he got up and went to the nearest atm that he could find.
Naturally, with his wet clothes and messy appearance, the crowd's attention was immediately drawn towards him. However, as usual, none of them bothered to say anything to him. They just silently cast curious gaze towards his departing wet figure.
After a few minutes of searching, Roland finally found an atm.
Although the brand was not the same as the World's Premium Bank and would charge fees when used by other banks, Roland did not care and just silently inserted the black atm card with great anticipation.
'Processing your card, please wait…'
