The streets of Cloud bridge City 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, Jayden Smith 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 Silver horn 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 Kevin Vane, a socialite rich kid known for spending more money on wine than Jayden made in a year.This was one of the part-time jobs Jayden engaged in after lectures at Sky High University. As the poor, helpl

The next morning... Jayden 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] Jayden 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," Jayden

Jayden 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 in 2066—just 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 Jayden's neighbors came over and introduced him to ROBIT Coin.After feeding him with all sorts of hyped-up and allegedly credible information, Jayden was completely captivated. The ROBIT Coin was newly launched and going for as low as $0.72 per coin.Jayden 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

[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, [Confidence]: 6/100, [Influence]: 1/100, [Reputation]: 2/100, [Combat]: 4/100.Before Jayden 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.Jayden approached Emily, 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!' Jayden shouted inwardly as he approached her, a complicated look on his face.Emily also took a few steps forward, arms folded, lips pursed, not in amusement this time, but in subtle agitation. Her deep green leather jacket hugged her curves tight

In a mansion seated on the outskirts of campus, nestled between rows of quiet pine trees and high walls that shut out the world, a group of four settled inside as they passed their free time with leisure. The group gathered in the sunlit living room... Kevin Vane lounged on a white suede couch, his legs sprawled, a game controller forgotten on his lap. Richy, a wiry guy always putting on a smirk, was halfway through a can of Monster, while Sofia, poised and always the sharpest of them all, scrolled through her phone with furrowed eyebrows. It didn't take long before Kevin Vane broke the silence. "Bro, tell me I'm not tripping," Kevin said, tossing the controller on the glass table. "You guys saw that ride, right? That was a f*cking McLaren Sabre. That costs quite a lot, and that clown Jayden pulled up in one like he's the next Tyler Ederwood." Tyler Ederwood is currently the richest man in the entire republic of North asia. Richy laughed. "Nah, man. I saw it with my own eyes. Emi
