After almost two hours of sitting helplessly outside the apartment gate, Jayden 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, Jayden 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," Jayden 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 am I seeing this screen in front of me? Why are you in my head?" Jayden muttered in confusion. > [It's because I have merged with you, host. Like I said, you were chosen as the bearer of the Infinite Wealth System. I'm here to rewrite your destiny and assist you in building the greatest financial empire in history.] Jayden's jaw dropped, stunned into silence. He hadn't expected anything remotely like this in his life, yet he found himself completely captivated by the words on the glowing screen. "But that's... impossible. I'm just a poor guy with nothing. You must've picked the wrong person," Jayden said with a weak nod, still trying to process it all. > [Not right, host! You should be thrilled to receive this gift, yet here you are sounding like a defeated soul. Frankly, I should abandon you, but fortunately for you, I'm bound stay with you until the end. I cannot make such a decision on my own.] Jayden squinted at the screen. > [Alright! Let's get to action.] The green interface shifted, now revealing a new section filled with stats and numbers that immediately grabbed Jayden's full attention. The green interface shifted, now revealing a new section filled with stats and numbers that immediately grabbed Jayden's full attention. [Host Stats] [Name]: Jayden Smith [Age]: 22 [Net Worth]: $0 [Wealth Points]: 0 WP [Assets Owned]: None [Titles]: None [Attributes]: -Intelligence: 7/100 -Charm: 2/100 -Charisma: 4/100 -Confidence: 3/100 -Influence: 1/100 -Reputation: 0/100 -Combat: 4/100 "What are these?" Jayden asked, his eyebrows raised. > [These are your current statistics, host. As you complete tasks and advance, more features will unlock, and these values will evolve [Since you already understand your Name, Age, and Net Worth, I'll break down the rest for you.] > [Wealth Points]: These are gained alongside money from completing tasks. Their amount varies depending on task level. [Tasks]: Divided into four tiers-Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Black. Bronze tasks are the easiest; Black tasks are the greatest. [Assets]: These include everything you own of significant value-Cash Balance, Stocks, Real Estate, Crypto currencies, Businesses, etc. [Titles]: Awarded based on achievements. Each title is linked to specific milestones in your journey to wealth and influence. [Attributes Explained: -Intelligence: Your ability to analyze investments, predict market trends, outsmart rivals, and strategize long-term. -Charm: Your talent for winning people over, especially romantically. It influences social situations and connections-especially with women! -Charisma: Unlike charm which is private and personal, charisma is public and powerful. It allows you to inspire people, lead movements, and dominate conversations or negotiations. -Confidence: Determines your resilience in public, your ability to take risks, and how strongly you carry yourself. -Influence: Measures your ability to sway decisions, call in favors, and shape events -Reputation: Reflects how society views you. High reputation opens doors to elites and fame. Low reputation keeps you hidden-but sometimes, that's useful. -Combat: This shows your physical strength and basic fighting skills. When some punk wants to slap you, go for his nose.] > [You can grow all these attributes by completing tasks. With commitment and courage, you can change your life, host.] Jayden took a deep breath, rereading the stats as if to reassure himself that all this wasn't some fever dream. His eyes lingered on the words for a long time. "So it's true... this system is really here to help me," he muttered, still unsure of how to react. And yet, a wide grin had begun to stretch across his face, refusing to fade. > [Ready for your first task, host?] > [The Infinite Wealth System rewards generously, no matter how absurd or outrageous the task may seem.] "I'm ready. Let's get on with it," Jayden said, his voice now firmer. [Task #001 (Bronze Level)]: Flirt with a rich girl and get her number. [Reward]: $100,000 [Duration]: No deadline. "Wait, what? What kind of task is this?" Jayden blurted out, his expression twisting in disbelief. > [An easy one, host. It's a Bronze-level task, after all.] "What the actual f**k? Every girl on campus hates me. I'm literally the guy they mock for sport... how the hell am I supposed to pull this off?" > [The challenge is yours to overcome. Think about the reward-you wouldn't want to miss out just because of your low self-esteem.] Jayden's gaze fell back on the reward: $100,000. His heart skipped a beat. It seemed almost too good to be true, but he couldn't deny the pull it had on him. If he could somehow complete this single task, he'd go from broke to a hundred thousand dollars overnight. That kind of money could change his entire life. "Okay, fine... I'll try," he muttered with a sigh, still visibly shaken. > [Good choice. While there's no time limit, I suggest you act fast to free up space for new tasks. Remember, higher-level tasks bring even greater rewards.] > [And I assume the host doesn't want to keep being a loser...] Jayden flinched at those words. His eyes lit up with a spark of determination. "Can you... maybe help me with some tricks or techniques to pull it off? I mean, I'm not that kind of guy," he admitted, rubbing the back of his neck. [Unfortunately, this is where I cannot intervene. Completing the task is entirely up to you.] Still painted with frustration, Jayden nodded. He pushed himself up from the bed, limbs aching. Without wasting more time, he limped to the bathroom, washed away the dried blood and sweat, and cleaned his wounds as best he could. He took a few painkillers he had leftover from grueling labor jobs. It was late. His energy was gone. Hospitals were too expensive. Even local pharmacies were out of reach. He had no money, not even enough for good food. And if he didn't save what little he had left... he might starve to death.Latest Chapter
Chapter 16: Rise of Jade Cafe
The news about Jade Café's unique and addictive coffee taste had already begun trending on FaceWorld, Loopi, and SnapScene, and almost everyone in the city was already hearing about it, some were already even there to witness it themselves.The admin of Sky High University's group chat had even talked about it in the group, stunning Jayden.[[Vera: Hola y'all! I just have to let you guys know about something because I'd be nothing less than the devil himself if I don't inform you guys about it.]][[Karl: Okay, here we go again! Our humble admin's here to tell us about another great and frustrating way to read five books in the library in a day.]][[C'mon, Karl. It's nothing about the library and its books this time.]][[Maya: Then what?]][[Vera: There's this café I stopped by to get coffee when heading to campus today, and I can't help the excitement and joy from the taste. OMFG!!! I can't explain even half of the way I feel right now. Someone needs to tell me I'm not going insane!]]
Chapter 15: Clash in the Class
Jayden went straight to lecture just in time after getting prepared. He had second thoughts about reaching the café first, but he later decided to just head straight there and visit the café later.Since it hadn't been a week yet, he figured it wasn't really necessary to disturb Eva and let her manage the café. Just as the system had promised, the Amber Bloom flower would help a lot, and even though Jayden hadn't gotten any feedback from her, he was still relaxed and hopeful.He entered the hall with his backpack slung on his right arm, drawing the attention of almost all faces. He noticed that the front row was already full, so he joined the back row, which was just two rows away from the end.The back rows were always filled with talkative, gossiping students, and even the ones who would just spend their whole time scrolling Loopi till the end of the lecture.Jayden was never part of these people, but he had no choice but to sit there since there was no other place.Coincidentally,
Chapter 14: Text From Emily
After finishing spending the Wealth Points, Jayden settled down and moved to the next thing that came to mind.Now he was rich, rich enough to create a company of his own. After the Title Advantage had doubled his cash rewards, he had gained 10 million dollars!It had gotten to a point where Jayden was no longer stunned anymore. He already saw this as a shocking reality, and just like that, he was gaining a lot of money without even working for it...Actually, completing tasks was undoubtedly an effort, but to be frank, what company would pay a worker five million dollars just to outbid a sharp-tongued millionaire on a Rolex and walk away without collecting it?The Infinite Wealth System was literally the greatest thing that had happened to him in his life... And he hoped that one day... this system wouldn't disappear.That was beginning to be one of Jayden's fears at this point.The next day, Jayden attempted to plan some stuff before heading to lectures when a message suddenly poppe
Chapter 13: Mysterious Land Purchase
Jayden progressed back home, wondering what he would use the Wealth Point he gained for. The system only told him how he could obtain a Wealth Point and didn't reveal the uses, so Jayden needed to know at this point. "What are Wealth Points used for?" He had to ask that way. > [Randomly unlocking a Skill, which would help you grow and add great privileges to your main mission. You can actually exchange a Wealth Point for attributes... Every Wealth Point contains 10 attribute points, and you can distribute them as you want on your attributes.] > [The last use of Wealth Points is for unlocking Assets. One Wealth Point can be used to get one asset, and in some cases, more than one Wealth Point can be used to obtain one asset... It depends on the levels of the assets.] Jayden's eyes blinked in curiosity. "So, you mean I can just suddenly own a company with Wealth Points?" Jayden asked. > [Any assets at all... Though there are levels that would require more Wealth Points than the oth
Chapter 12: In the Auction
The sun had already set when Jayden pulled up to the entrance of Arcadia Lounge, nestled on the city's elite crescent-clad, steel-gated venue that whispered power with every brick. The valet took his car wordlessly, recognizing the invite card in Jayden's hand.Jayden had somehow managed to get that card by connecting to one of the workers of the lounge, but it hadn't cost him much since it was a bronze card-the lowest rank card of the event.Inside, the atmosphere was thick with wealth and pride. Crystal chandeliers sparkled overhead like stars summoned to impress, while the gallery walls were lined with priceless artifacts and luxury collectibles... paintings, sculptures, even rare wines older than modern countries.Jayden walked in dressed simply, an unbranded black suit and a silver wristwatch. No labels, no flash. Just precision. Power in understatement.He was out of place.And yet... he wasn't.All eyes didn't land on him.Not yet... but they would.Because tonight wasn't about
Chapter 11: Cafe
After paying thirty thousand dollars to Eva, Jayden had signed the paperwork before he left. The next morning, he drove back to the café, and what he saw brightened his face. Before he left the café the previous day, he had already made sure that the renovation team arrived and began their work. In a case like that, Jayden had to pay them upfront to persuade them to begin. He actually had a task to complete, and it wasn't looking promising after two days had passed in the one-week duration. Inside the café, Eva was already up and moving. She'd been at the café since 6 AM, cleaning the windows and rearranging chairs with a focused energy Jayden admired. It was like the weight of debt had been lifted from her shoulders overnight Jayden stepped in, letting the door chime announce him. "Morning," he greeted. Eva looked up and gave a small but genuine smile. "You're early, sir." "I couldn't sleep," Jayden said, glancing around. "Too many ideas running through my head. I figured we c
