MTL - I Was Fed the Fruit by the World Nobles and Became the Fifth Emperor - Chapter 21

When Jiang Feng’s family mansion was forced to get demolished by the government for development, he was compensated with ten million. The moment he received the money, a system appeared.

[Ding! Congratulations on activating the Divine-grade Choice System]

Choice 1: Show off your ten million. Allow your relatives to mooch off you and send expensive wedding gifts to your girlfriend. Reward: Title – Good Person.

Choice 2: Invest everything in Bitcoin for huge profits in the future. Reward: One hundred million. (One-time deal)

Jiang Feng didn’t even hesitate to choose the second choice. He invested everything in Bitcoin and made a hundred million.

However, he posted a different story online.

“I lost everything in cryptocurrency. I’ll have to start all over again.”

The moment the post went online, all sorts of demons and devils appeared.

From that day onwards, Jiang Feng finally saw the true nature of humans.

Abandoned by Fate, but Chosen by Chaos.A world where magic reigns supreme and the mightiest wizards stand at the apex.A world where one’s mana affinity, if one even had it, determines one’s status in society, whether one could soar through the skies like a dragon or remain grounded, scraping by like rats or chickens.This was the world Hal Fennec was born into.Raised in the poverty of a border village, Hal had one wish: to give his mother a better life, one free from the constant fear of beast attacks and invasions by the Fellkin.But fate seemed to be playing a cruel joke.Despite being the brightest and most confident among his peers since childhood, Hal turned out to be barely qualified to become a wizard.His natural talent, contrary to his expectations, was nowhere near enough to fulfill even his modest dream of a decent city life.But then, just when his final hope was snuffed out and the future seemed gray and bleak, a twist of fate—or more fittingly Chaos—granted him a system that would turn everything around.
