Chapter 1
The streets of Manhattan were drenched in luxury. Towering skyscrapers loomed above like gods of glass, watching over the wealthy and indifferent. Lamborghinis cruised by on quiet electric motors while holographic billboards screamed the faces of influencers, CEOs, and young billionaires. Among them, William Hudson stood out, but not in a good way. His sneakers were worn flat. His shirt, a size too small, clung to him from the heat. His delivery bag, faded from years of use, rested heavily on his back as he rode his electric bike to a luxurious building. The golden letters on the entrance gate of Silverhorn Lounge glared down at him like a warning: "YOU DO NOT BELONG HERE." But he had no choice. He was actually here to deliver a highly expensive wine that cost $200,000 to Trent Lloyd, a socialite rich kid known for spending more money on wine than William made in a year. This was one of the part-time jobs William engaged in after lectures at Sky High University. As the poor, he
Chapter 2
After almost two hours of sitting helplessly outside the apartment gate, William finally gathered enough strength to stand up and entered his apartment. His clothes were soaked in blood and dirt, his body bruised and battered. His eyes blinked uncontrollably, and he swayed slightly as dizziness threatened to take over. Yet amidst all of this, the pain stood out... sharp, consuming, unforgettable. Once inside, William didn't bother removing his bloodied shirt or wiping the grime from his skin. He collapsed directly onto his bed, uncaring of the mess he left behind. Right now, only one thing consumed his mind—the strange interface that had appeared when he regained consciousness after blacking out from the beating. "Infinite Wealth System? Show yourself," William said hoarsely, his voice filled with curiosity despite the pain. > [I'm always here if you need me, host.] The system interface blinked into existence before his eyes like a holographic projection, suspended midair. "Why

The next morning… William stood in front of the mirror, adjusting his hoodie and trying not to look as nervous as he felt. He made sure to wear his best clothes today since he had an important mission to carry out and wouldn't afford to fail. He still bore some bruises from the attack last night, but the swelling had gone down. The pain had dulled into a background reminder of humiliation, rejection, and failure. But today wasn't about pain. Today was about rising. His first task was still floating in the corner of his system interface: [Task #001 – Bronze Level: Flirt with a rich girl and get her number] [Reward: $100,000] William smiled as he gave the interface a sharp, lingering look. That amount still made his heart race. He couldn't believe he would actually receive it if he completed the task. At this point in his life, when he needed help the most, he couldn't afford to joke around with this opportunity. "I will complete this task, no matter what," William said to hi
Chapter 4
William's eyes sparkled as a new notification popped up. He had only just started to rest, and yet the system had already brought another task his way. If this was how things were going to be, then he was already stepping into a serious challenge... A challenge that could actually lead to great rewards. "Whoa... Five hundred thousand dollars just to show off?" William sat up abruptly, his mouth falling open in disbelief. Without wasting a moment, he jumped to his feet and began getting ready to rush to a luxury store. He couldn't wait to claim the $500,000 reward. That kind of money would skyrocket his financial status instantly. He had to change out of the wet clothes he'd worn during the fountain incident. After a quick change, he slipped into his second-best outfit, a black short-sleeved polo and white jeans and headed out. He decided not to touch the hundred thousand dollars he already had, so buying new clothes was off the table for now. "Umm, where should I go?" William mu
Chapter 5
William became curious after that reaction... On a normal day, he had already promised himself never to get involved in anything related to cryptocurrencies after what happened to him, two years ago.After finishing his part-time jobs on one fateful day, where he made as much as $1,300, the highest he had ever managed to gather, one of William's neighbors came over and introduced him to ROBIT Coin.After feeding him with all sorts of hyped-up and allegedly credible information, William was completely captivated. The ROBIT Coin was newly launched and going for as low as $0.72 per coin.William was starving for wealth back then. He wanted to rise and restore his family's name from disgrace. Blinded by the hunger for success, he went all in and bought coins worth $1,200, leaving himself with just a hundred dollars.After months of waiting for the coin price to skyrocket, everything ended in tragedy. The projected ROI nosedived to $0.11 instead of increasing even slightly. It was expected

[Task #004 Completed!] [You have been rewarded the sum of $500,000. It will be transferred to your account shortly.] [You have gained +2 Charm to your Attributes.] [Attributes]: [Intelligence]: 7/100, [Charm]: 4/100, [Charisma]: 5/100, [Confidernce]: 6/100, [Influence]: 1/100, [Reputation]: 2/100, [Combat]: 4/100. Before William stepped out of the class, he decided to check his attributes. He noticed some noticeable progress, except for the Intelligence and Combat attributes, which he believed would improve with time. William approached Carmen, leaning against the wall with a slight smile. He clearly understood what he was seeing... She had actually been waiting for him. 'Ahh! What have I done? I only wanted her number to get some damned money!' William shouted inwardly as he approached her, a complicated look on his face. Carmen also tooka few steps forward, arms folded, lips pursed, not in amusement this time, but in subtle agitation. Her deep green leather jacket hugged her
Chapter 7
William stared at his phone's screen, jaw dropping slightly as he made his way to his apartment. "Oh my god..! I fucking love this!" The first day with the Wealth System ended with so many unforgettable memories. William couldn't even begin to express how he felt after everything that had happened. Thretasks… All successfully completed. $2.6 million rewarded. It was indeed a day to remember. William already knew that this was the beginning of his domination. Earning $2,000,000 just for slapping the landlord with a pack of cash? That was insane. But what could he say? If he had to do it again and again, he'd do so with pleasure. Not that he truly wanted the apartment building for himself-it was more about the system's directive. Now that he owned it, he had no intention of wasting time playing landlord. William chose to sponsor a complete renovation of the terribly old building and appointed Mr. Collins as the new caretaker, despite the man's name recent harsh treatment and lack

William squinted repeatedly as he stared at the interface. [Don't try to act like you don't like it, host. I can see your mind clearly.] The system shunned William immediately, and he stood silent for a moment. A while later, he couldn't hold back the smile on his face anymore as his checks widened. It was clear William would enjoy bagging a whole lot of women and watching their affection for him grow. He believed just making and spending money wouldn't be completely perfect.. Spending money without women was totally boring.. >fGood one. That's the kind of smile I want to see, host.] The system reacted to William's innocent-free smile, and William couldn't help but grin even more. Soon, he stepped out of the café and walked to the parking lot of the Faculty of Business building… It was then that William began to feel a throbbing pain in his head and back. His body ached in several places, and his left shoulder still twitched from time to time. He had brushed it off these pas
