World Domination Begins With Getting a System in a Modern World Chapter 1: James Zolomon

"Jas, here's the order for the guest in the Gold VIP room. Take it to them," an elderly man, who appeared to be in his fifties, said to a young man, while pointing to two bottles of alcohol on a tray, on the bar counter.

"Yes, sir," Jas said, picking up the tray and walking towards the VIP section.

As Jas made his way to the VIP section, a lot of thoughts ran through his mind. He took a couple of glances at the bottles on the tray and sighed helplessly.

He found it very hard to understand how soone can afford to buy sothing so expensive — alcohol no less. And to make it a whole lot worst, this is isn't the second or third order from that particular VIP guest.

"The divide between the rich and poor kept widening with each passing day. How good it must feel to be able to spend more than $5,000 without a single thought about whatever struggles tomorrow is going to bring?" Jas mused to himself, shaking his head.

He finally arrived in front of the door of the VIP section and he knocked once, before he opened it and walked in.

Inside, Jas was t with a scene — one that he has seen way too many tis.

Seated at the centre of the VIP section was a familiar young man who looks to be the sa age as Jas — if not younger.

Around him were a group of girls dressed in skimpy and eye-raising outfits that would bring only one word, and thought to the mind of any man that saw them.

The girls surrounded the young man, running and rubbing their hands on his chest and face, caressing both locations sensually and slowly moving their hands towards his thigh.

One of them took it to the next level, climbing onto his thigh and grinding away to the music playing in the club.

Jas sighed internally when he saw this. He didn't need to be told to know that everyone in the room were beyond wasted and this could be seen from the empty, and half-empty bottles scattered across the huge table.

He sighed again as he walked toward the table, took the two bottles from the tray, and placed them on the table.

After he did that, he nodded to the guest but actually no one in particular, before making his way to a secluded corner of the room.

Whenever he's in a VIP room, attending to clients, Jas loves to make himself as invisible as he can, especially when he's serving guests like the young man.

He does this to protect himself and put himself far away from everything that might be going on in the room at that mont that he was in there.

Unfortunately for him today, the young man wasn't going to allow him to enjoy whatever little peace he can in all the chaos happening in the room.

"Hey, Jas. My man. Why standing there all rigid? Are you my bodyguard or what? Co here and take so sips, man," the young man said, gesturing for Jas to co join him.

Jas looked at him, putting up the best custor friendly smile he could muster, as he prepares to say no.

But before he could reply, the young waved at him with a frown and irritation visible on his face, before turning his attention back to girls surrounding him.

"Never mind. You will just say no anyway. I'd rather enjoy my life with my girls than allow soone boring like you to ruin it for ," he said, then looked at the at girl grinding on him.

He licked his lips lasciviously and spanked her buttocks, causing her to yelp with a very coquettish voice.

"Tania, get down and suck off," the young man said with a smile, before turning to look at Jas with a mischievous smile.

One would expect the girl to at least try to maintain her dignity by refusing the young man's request. If not because of the other girls but at least, because of the other male — insignificant male — in the room, but she didn't.

Contrary to Jas' expectations, she imdiately jumped down from the young man's thigh, and unabashedly started slowly unzipping him, while stimulating him from above his pants.

Jas saw this and he knew that this was his cue to leave, as he knew perfectly well what was about to happen next.

This was a mistake he made the first ti sothing like this happened, and he was almost dragged into a full blown orgy.

If he hadn't ran out of the room at the mont he did, with the setup of those in the room, he would had been caught in a sticky situation.

Stepping out of the VIP room, Jas let out a sigh of relief and started walking to the bar.

The truth was that he would love to be able to spend money just like the young man in the Gold VIP section. But he can't because he's broke.

To Jas, the ability to spend an average of more than $14,000 every week just on clubbing was a concept he doesn't understand.

But if he had such amount and the sa spending power, he wouldn't have to worry his head for anymore. He won't have to stay up all night, thinking of how to escape his perilous financial situation.

One might ask why he isn't taking the sa route as his peers, taking the "financial freedom route", but the truth is that he has tried it and it didn't quite work out for him. It was actually one of the reason why he's in a debt of a more than $20,000.

It was for this reasons that he decided to take the safest and less risky thod: go to college, get a degree and get thrown into the job market.

But with how the world and everything was looking right now, Jas feel like everything was just going to be a waste of ti in the end.

He sighed and shook his head at his situation, before checking the ti on his cheap, digital watch.

"My shift just ended. Ti to go ho," he said, with a wry smile.

He made his way to the staff changing room and on his way there, he was stopped by one of his colleagues.

"Jas, hey. The manager said that I should give this to you," he said, giving Jas one of the white envelopes in his hand.

Jas' eyes narrowed slightly when he saw the envelopes and the solemn look on his colleague's face, and a sense of foreboding settled over him.

He slowly reached out, collected the envelope and nodded at his colleague in appreciation.

He turned over the envelope and the line of words on it told him everything he needed to know.

"I'm fired?"

It took a mont for his brain to process what had just happened and for him to fully understand the gravity of it

With that realisation ca shock and then, confusion. His hand shook slightly, as his head beca clouded with multiple thought.

He didn't understand why this was happening. He has done his job to the best of his abilities and has never gotten any complaint from custors. Then why is he being fired?

Jas wanted to rush to the manager's office and confront him but he knew that he would only be barking up a wall with that. And considering his boss's attitude, he might even get trashed for it.

Left without a choice, Jas sighed and walked towards the staff changing room.

"I guess this is it for ," he said, with a wry and exhausted smile.

After he was done changing, Jas left the nightclub and made his way back to his dorm.

***

Jas opened the door to the triple room dorm he shares with so students.

Walking into the room, he saw that it was empty, indicating that his roommates had yet to return from their nightly activities.

And given that the quarter had just ended, he doubted they would even be coming back for the night — or even the next day.

Jas walked to his bed and collapsed face first into it. He slowly turned his extrely exhausted body over and gazed at the ceiling, deep in thought.

He thought of how his life has gone till now. How he lost his parents to two different accidents at a young age.

His father died in a plane crash and his mom died a couple of months later after she was hit by a drunk driver.

After he lost his parents, he ca to live with his mother's divorced friend who has a daughter almost the sa age as him.

And the family has taken care of him like he was one of their one. They were the reason why he didn't feel the loss of his parents and he loves them very much.

"Patty, Leslie, I really want to repay the two of you for everything you have done for but nothing I've done has ever worked on out

Why can't I also be happy and have the good things my mates have? Why does it seem like everyone is making progress and I'm the only one stagnant?

It would had been understandable if my situation had regeessed and beca worst, but it feels like I've been stuck in the sa spot for eternity," Jas said to himself, pouring out his heavy heart in the empty confines of his room.

Jas sighed as he snuggled into his bed. The exhaustion from work had started to take its toll and his eyes was starting to close slowly.

"I hope to wake to a new and great reality tomorrow," he said, with the only genuine smile he has ever had for the day, before slowly drifting off to sleep.

.....

Unnoticed by anyone, a small white object, the size of a golf ball, hovered above the clouds for a few monts before it started descending at an incredible speed.

As it descended, its speed increased, doubling, then tripling, until it beca a blur.

The object continued downward, phasing through the roof of the dorm building before and landing on Jas' head. It dissolved into liquid, seeping into his body through his ears.
