"This... is a broken item. Like, way too overpowered if used as a weapon."
A thin, wand-like screwdriver appeared in Liam’s hand. As its name suggested, it was emerald in color and maybe even made of the material itself. It looked super cool, nothing like a normal screwdriver except for its tip.

Liam was currently inside his washroom. He had returned to the hotel soon after the Alexandra incident. On his palm, the green-colored screwdriver swayed and twirled around like a happy little child.
I can control it using my mind, just like the system, but I feel like there’s a limit to it. Hmm, so only about a minute? After that, I have to use my hand.
Liam danced the screwdriver around the washroom using his mind. It listened to him like a small baby listening to its father, and when his mind finally felt exhausted, it gradually floated back down onto his hand before disappearing into the air.
I feel like the more I use it now, the more I can use it later.
Massaging his temples, he left the washroom. His head was buzzing with a headache after he went as far as possible with the screwdriver. To think a screwdriver could make his head feel like this.
I didn’t even use it at 100 MPH. Throwing it at light speed might kill me, but one day I will master this.
The screwdriver appeared on top of Liam’s hand once again. He gently nudged it, and it started gliding on its own on top of his hand. There was no need for him to use his mental energy on it this time; he could simply grab it and open something up.
Or maybe it was tamable? Let’s look at it later. My head is killing me.
Dismissing it, he sat down on the bed and closed his eyes to relax. It had been a long day for him. From admission to the bank and now Alexandra, everything felt like it didn’t go exactly as he planned, but overall, it was not that bad.
Tomorrow, let’s go shopping. These clothes won’t cut it in executive-level meetings.
....
The morning sun greeted Liam by spilling its light directly onto his face. Liam liked waking up when the sun came up. It made him feel like he was still alive. In his last life, he used to sleep until late and then rush to study afterward.
Right, I have to fucking revise my books. Damn it.
"Liam? As promised, we didn’t disturb you the whole night. Can we disturb you now?"
"You woke up this early? I thought you switched off even your alarms."
"Well, hehe, Megan is moving into the dorm right now, so we thought we could disturb you."
Clara entered the room with Megan in tow. They were holding many things in their hands and looked prepared to move out. Clara was even giving some of her stuff to Megan, and judging by the way they were acting around each other, their bond already looked like that of very close friends.
"I thought you hated her guts."
"Who?" x2
"Both of you. Each other’s guts."
"Oh! Nah... we’re cool, right?"
Clara looked at Megan and gave her an exaggerated wink. With a helpless expression on her face, Megan nodded her head. After telling Liam that they had already eaten breakfast and that he could do whatever he wanted today, Clara grabbed Megan’s hand and left the room in a hurry.
"What the fuck just happened?"
Scratching his head, Liam stood up, refreshed after last night’s heavy screwdriver usage. After getting freshened up, he directly went out for a jog. In his last life, although he was good at his studies, he had neglected his physical health. This time around, there should be no regrets left behind.
Hey, I might make a fucking harem too. Who am I kidding? Sigh! This time around, I can’t think with my dick.
"So I have to go shopping alone? Well, that saves me a lot of trouble."
"You left in a hurry last night." [Speech: 06]
Suddenly, a status screen popped up and floated across Liam’s vision. Then, he heard a very beautiful and nostalgic voice coming from right beside him.
"Me? You kicked me out."
"Well, whatever. I can accompany you shopping as your mistress."
It was Alexandra. She was wearing a tank top with a hoodie over it, looking very pretty as usual, and as usual, she clearly wasn’t trying to impress anyone at all.
"You are not my mistress."
"I am, though. You already paid my debt. Now don’t you back down after committing to be with me. I dismissed all my pipeline daddies for you."
"Pipeline daddies?"
"Yeah, there were three. Whatever, I was just jogging around and saw you leaving that hotel, Peacock Inn. So this is where rich boys like you stay?"
"Don’t tell me you deliberately came here to check whether I was staying here or not."
"You think too much. You will want me deliberately soon, so when do we go?"
"Sigh! In an hour?"
"Okay, where’s your car? I won’t go without a proper car. This is how mistresses are. They want your money and will suck you dry."
Saying this, she went down the road on the right side while Liam continued straight ahead. He didn’t even know where his car currently was, and getting it within an hour was kind of impossible, so it looked like his new self-proclaimed mistress was going to be angry with him.
"Fucking Alexandra. Stupid girl, but she’s one of the kindest people I’ve ever met in my last life, so yeah, if she throws herself at me, why would I refuse?"
