Thiago arrived at the hillside villa just before noon. The property sat quietly atop the highest point of Jacquer Estate, overlooking the surrounding neighborhoods. From the rooftop, one could see the winding roads below, the distant commercial district, and even the cemetery behind the hill.A middle-aged man stepped out carrying a leather briefcase and several rolled-up blueprints. He extended his hand with a smile. "Mr. Moretti?"Thiago shook it. "Bill Green. It's a pleasure to finally meet you.""The pleasure is mine."After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Thiago gestured toward the villa. "Let's begin."Bill immediately switched into work mode. For nearly an hour, he carefully inspected every corner of the property, measuring wall thickness, foundation drawings, electrical conduits, plumbing layouts, measuring windows and doors, and climbing onto the roof. Then, he entered the attic and walked through the semi-underground storage level.Every few minutes, he scribbled notes int

Barry Vauxhall closed the file and looked directly at Thiago. "Mr Moretti, I need to warn you. If we only defend your lottery winnings, this case is simple. But if we expand it into adultery, paternity fraud, emotional damages, reimbursement of child-rearing expenses, and reopening the divorce settlement, your legal fees and investigation costs will increase dramatically." "We'll need investigators, financial audits, DNA testing, additional court filings, and multiple hearings, and you could easily spend more on the lawsuit than you ultimately recover." Thiago calmly opened another folder and slid several certified financial statements across the desk. "I think you're misunderstanding something. I didn't win a modest lottery prize. I won an enormous fortune, so the legal expenses are completely irrelevant to me." Barry immediately picked up the documents. The further he read, the more serious his expression became. His relaxed demeanor disappeared instantly and he looked ba

The next morning, Barry Vauxhall's office was already operating at full speed.Charlotte sat at her desk surrounded by case files, financial statements, and copies of Thiago's divorce records.She had barely finished organizing the documents when Barry walked out of his office."Any progress?""Yes."Charlotte immediately handed him a folder."I've organized the timeline."Barry opened it."The divorce was finalized first.""Then the lottery ticket was purchased.""The winning numbers were drawn afterward.""And the jackpot was transferred into Thiago's account after the drawing."She pointed to another page."There's no overlap with the marital period."Barry nodded."Excellent.""What about the household expenses?""I've begun categorizing them.""Mortgage contributions, property taxes, utilities, insurance, medical expenses, school fees, groceries, repairs..."Charlotte shook her head."The total is already enormous."Barry smiled."Keep going.""Mr. Moretti wants every dollar acco

The next morning, Thiago arrived at the warehouse before sunrise.The first shipment had already arrived.Pallets of bottled water filled one section.Boxes of canned food occupied another.Medical supplies were stacked neatly along the wall.The warehouse manager approached with a clipboard."Mr. Moretti, more trucks are scheduled throughout the morning.""Good."Thiago glanced around."Once each delivery is checked, I want the workers to leave."The manager hesitated."Leave?""Yes.""After the inventory is verified, I'll handle the storage myself."The manager looked puzzled but nodded."Understood."Thiago had deliberately chosen a warehouse with a private loading bay.Once the doors closed and everyone left, he finally had what he needed.Privacy.He locked the doors.Checked the security cameras.Then touched the ring on his finger.The next moment, the first pallet disappeared.Then another.Then another.Within minutes, the warehouse floor began emptying at an impossible speed

The faint glow beneath Thiago's finger suddenly intensified.He stopped breathing for a moment.The ring had remained unchanged ever since his rebirth. He had tested it countless times, storing and retrieving objects until he understood its basic functions. Yet now, for the first time, something was different.A strange warmth spread from the ring into his palm.Then a notification appeared inside his mind.DIMENSIONAL STORAGE: UPGRADE AVAILABLEThiago's eyes narrowed."Finally."He immediately sat down and focused.Another message appeared.CURRENT LEVEL: 1UPGRADE REQUIREMENT: ENERGY SATISFIEDUPGRADE?Thiago didn't hesitate."Yes."The instant he made the decision, the ring flashed.For several seconds, the entire storage space seemed to tremble.The shelves he had mentally created remained intact, but the boundaries of the space expanded dramatically.What had previously been a modest storage area suddenly became several times larger.Thiago stared."That's incredible."He had exp
