I Became A Billionaire Overnight
It took just a few seconds and his dashboard was displayed on the screen of his laptop, showing the summary:
Balance: 50 Nova coins
Current price: $800,000,000 per coin
Underneath, it showed an option:
Convert Nova to USD – Total Value Available To Withdraw: $40,000,000,000
Ryan’s eyes widened. He leaned forward, staring hard to make sure he wasn’t seeing things.
Total Value: Forty billion dollars.
He clicked Convert to USD.
A small spinning circle appeared on the screen. Then all of sudden, it showed up a notification on the screen.
Transaction Successful.
His screen refreshed, and the number appeared in green:
Available Balance: $40,000,000,000.00
Ryan let out a cold loud breath. He couldn’t believe it, his eyes blurred out in shock. The money was real. Sitting in his Nova wallet. Forty billion dollars for someone who had never even held five thousand dollars in his account before.
He laughed before he could control himself. A broken, breathy laugh. He was still sitting on a cracked chair, in a small room, with nothing but a broken, crappy laptop, and yet, in at that moment, he was one of the richest people on earth.

Chapter: Chapter 8“Well, after borrowing the clothes, he Still deosn’t seem to fit in. I mean, he can’t even afford a descent suit,” someone said loudly enough for everyone to hear.Ryan stood quietly with his hands at his sides, scanning the crowd with a calm expression. No one defended him. Not a single person said a word—not even her parents.The embarrassment hit him hard, and now it was out in the open for everyone to see.He remained frozen on the stage, struggling to make sense of what was happening. The noise from the crowd felt distant, like it was coming from far away. He had expected Elizabeth to do something unusual, but this felt like a planned attack.“The worse thing is… even if you had to borrow, why these cheap set of clothes?” Elizabeth said, looking at his outfits with lack of interest.Before he could collect his thoughts, Elizabeth’s parents stepped forward and stood proudly beside her there on the stage, wearing an overconfident look on their faces.Then a tall man in a grey suit

Chapter: Chapter 7Ryan sat in silence waiting for Claudia inside Ricco Store’s private VIP chamber. She had gone to an inner cubicle within the VIP chamber.Claudia returned shortly, not with clothes, but with a warm, genuine smile and a leather folder in her hand. She placed the folder on the table and took the seat across from him.“Mr. Walker,” she began, her voice softer now, “I didn’t bring you here just because of what happened outside. I brought you here because I’ve been looking for you.”Ryan blinked, unsure what she meant. “Looking for me?”She nodded. “I’m not just the owner of Ricco S-Class Store. I’m also a shareholder and global ambassador for Nova Inc.”Ryan sat up straighter, a small knot forming in his chest. He was sitting in front of an influential woman.“I know you already saw the message,” Claudia continued, tapping lightly on the folder in front of her. “The one informing you that you’ve been appointed as the new CEO of Nova.”“Yes,” Ryan said slowly, “I saw it but have no idea w

Chapter: Chapter 6The security guard stood stiff, holding Ryan’s arms tightly like they were restraining a criminal. He thought Ryan would escape at the slightest chance. The saleswoman who had started the entire mess, stood beside him with an overconfident look on her face.All Ryan did was stay silent.He didn’t argue. He didn’t beg.“I just called the police and they are on their way to pick you up,” the manager said to Ryan, hoping he would be trembling and begging. But Ryan knew he was clean and didn’t have any intention to steale.But something in his calmness made a few customers watching feel uneasy.“Why is he so confident looking like that?” one of the customers whispered to one other person that was standing there.“I guess he has been stealing for years now. The polic doesn’t scare him anymore,” the second person responded. Their words provoked Ryan and he was about to open his mouth to confront them before the glass door slid open.It caught everyone’s attention at once and all of them tu

Chapter: Chapter 5Ryan stood just outside the hospital, staring down at his phone. The message from Elizabeth was still on his screen. He read it again.He frowned slightly, his thumb hovering over the screen. It didn’t make any sense. “How about I get to the bottom of this?” he muttered, staring at screen.Ryan wasn’t sure what her game was, but one thing was clear—this wasn’t coming from a place of love or remorse. She was planning something, and he intended to find out what.He slipped his phone into his pocket and turned away from the hospital entrance. He made up his mind to go to the party, but not because he wanted her forgiveness. He wanted to see for himself what Elizabeth was trying to pull. “I have to get changed into something different,” he muttered as he took a cab.When Ryan got home and entered his room, he opened his closet and stared at the clothes hanging inside. Every shirt looked tired and faded. Most of the clothes were over three years old, the kind he had worn since moving int

Chapter: Chapter 4Ryan barely heard the guard’s breath over his shoulder or the noise in the corridor anymore. His eyes were locked on his phone screen, begging it to respond. And then—it did.The app loaded.The spinning circle vanished, replaced by his banking dashboard.Without a word, Ryan shrugged off the guard’s grip. He didn’t yell. Didn’t even look at anyone. He simply tapped the screen and transferred $300,000 straight from his account to the hospital’s payment portal. The numbers on the screen glowed in confirmation, and he let his thumb linger there for a moment longer.Then, slowly, he lifted his eyes and looked directly at the nurse who had mocked him the loudest. His voice was calm as he spoke.“Check your system.”The nurse blinked, confused for half a second. An arrogant response was already forming on her lips when the hospital receptionist’s desk phone rang sharply across the corridor.The receptionist picked up, murmured a few words—and then her eyes widened.She shot to her feet.“W

Chapter: Chapter 3Ryan walked into the hospital, holding his phone like it was his last hope. His hands were still shaking from the shock of what he had just acquired, becoming a billionaire overnight. He had already moved some of the money, just a million dollar, from his Nova Coin wallet to his bank.As he got closer to the corridor leading to his mother’s ward, he heard raised voices. People were gathered, whispering and staring. Curiosity got the better of him and he pushed through the crowd, with his heart pounding. The he heard a high pitched voice. “Take her way, don’t waste time. Her son has abandoned her because he has no money. So she can’t just stay here and waste space!”Breaking through the crowded corridor, Ryan froze at the sight before him. It was his mother they were yelling at.His mother was being dragged toward the exit by two hospital guards. She looked weak, barely able to stand, her hospital gown hanging loosely on her thin frame. Her legs scraped the floor, and her eyes were sh
