Nickel... It isn't a metallic element, but an unbearably dependent twenty-year-old boy living in the highest Nabe of the New World System, 400. Born with a silver spoon in his mouth, it had become in his nature to care less about life, thinking obstacles would never be seen coming. He lived his life the way he thought would make it worth it... until it ended when his father, the co-owner of the System, was assassinated during his speech for the 60th anniversary of the New World System. Life churned; he found himself in the dumpster, running for his life as he holds the biggest wealth in the System. Danger, betrayal, and tragic truth unveiled. Entering the real race of his life, will Nickel be able to go through it all? Will he be facing it all alone?

CHAPTER 1 : The Death of the Billionaire
"What? I don't understand why I have to go there?" I confronted my father. "I am the only son of the System's co-owner, I hold enough virtual money on my bracelet to be taken and robbed. And you're telling me that this is for my own good?" I questioned, raising my voice. I rushed to his office as soon as I heard from my godfather, Hugh, that he wanted me to leave 400 and head to Median, and for what? To see the world? Scoffing, I smacked my palm on my forehead. I can feel the vein on the side of my head popping, my breathing ragged, I can't find any solution to calm myself down. And my father? He's sitting on his chair and looking at me with his uninterested eyes, clasping his hands above his neatly organized table. "Why don't you take a chair? Let's talk this through, hmm?" His composed aura made me feel even more irritated. Releasing a hard breath, I dragged myself down on the chair adjacent to his table and crossed my arms, waiting for his either further explanation or his torm

My sleep got shaken awake when I felt something get thrown on my face, and the sound of Poppy's giggle followed.Through my red and blurry eyes, I saw her grinning at me widely with her hands on her hips, standing before me like a pirate captain."Get dressed and let's eat, I've got some soup and a new bowl from the store nearby. Hate to see that little crunch on your nose if I offer you something coming from my old collections of dishes," she said before pivoting and headed for the broken table where the map was used as the cloth of the table.There are four cans on the table, a new plate and spoon waiting for me, and a couple of soda cans.She sat there with her feet up, scooping beans from the can as she ate."You know, that's not how you properly eat," I groaned, pushing myself up from the chair. My bones cracked from sleeping with an uncomfortable position for so long."Who's here to judge me? Just you," she snorted and pointed at the opened cans. "This one's pudding or jelly and

Poppy welcomed me into a house full of garbage. Everything was disordered, like a hurricane had passed through her house and no one dared to organize her stuff.Papers littered the floor, boxes of whatever's inside of it were stacked in the corner, clothes hung everywhere, and she had a shelf full of displays and figurines with broken mechanisms."Were you collecting things from the junkyard?" I couldn't help but ask while looking around, afraid that there might be dangerous animals lurking in her unclean place."Nope, these are the things I stole from people and shops since I was little. I just can't let go of them that fast, so I stuck them all here," she replied, dragging herself down on the couch that blew a cloud of dust as she propped herself.Fanning my hand in the air, I coughed when the dust got into my throat. "Don't you know how to clean your house?""I'm not always around; I have to go outside to live. For food and needs"

I was lifted in the air like a young boy and thrown back on the mud. I tasted dirt in my mouth. I spat. "Boy, you got nothing on us!" A giant felon shouted at me, and I felt like I swallowed his horrible tang. "Who is this boy? Tell me your name!" My eyes found where the pink-haired thief was supposed to be, yet found it empty. That girl, she left me! "Tell me what your name is!" My lips couldn't form a word; my tongue must have jittered so bad that I forgot how to speak. The felon roared with laughter, echoed by his fellow felony followers. "Can't make himself speak from fear! You scared little boy?" No one dared to bruise my dignity, not even my father could burst the bubble of the overwhelming size of my ego. I made so many disasters in my life, but never had to go through pain. "There you go, have a good night's sleep in there, little boy." Thrown inside the muddy pit, I groaned and flicked my hands, kicking the wall in annoyance. I shouldn't have trusted her. Now where

"Whoo! Ain't that fun?" She cheered as she ran from the station and jumped through another fence, which I almost hurt my ankle. "That's your definition of fun?" I asked, catching my breath. "We were almost caught!" I exclaimed, having a panic attack. I thought that I would be held captive the moment we were spotted taking off the train without walking through the bracelet scanner. If she hadn't got a grip on my wrist and started dragging me, I would've been left alone and caught. Whether I admit it or not, this odd pink-haired girl knows how to escape authority. Probably because of the environment she was raised in and got used to. And I, on the other hand, was an alien in this world. "'Almost,' but weren't caught," she stated, quoting her fingers in the air as she opened a door that leads somewhere dark. "Believe it or not, I've been through a worse chase than that. What we just encountered, I call it a 'minor bird-dog' situation." "Minor?" I repeated in a sarcastic tone. "What'

Passing the empty Silent Road, I was greeted by the crowded place of Nabe Maven. Everything looked like 400, only that there were too many inhabitants walking around freely. Lowering my head, I slipped past the gates and walked on the side, trying not to attract too much attention from anyone. I quietly walked my way. Approaching the digital map on the boardwalk, I found where I was and where I could find the exit of the Nabe. "This is where I am," I muttered, pointing at a red pin stating where I'm currently standing. "One mile away from the nearest train station." Biting my lower lip, I sighed. My stomach grumbled, and I felt dizzy already. I was starving, suddenly desperate for a bowl of fruits. But I couldn't buy anything; I couldn't risk it. For sure, my face would be plastered on every board and moving tabloids. Anyone could recognize me. Hastily taking the way, I had to take many turns; there were a lot of Levy mobiles taking rounds all over the Nabe. It's getting dark s

Quarantined, that's what they called it. Locked up in my own house, which I call a prison, unable to leave until the gunman is caught. It's been seven days, and they still haven't found any leads. I couldn't even attend my own father's funeral. I could have sent him to his grave myself, watched a flower fall above his coffin, and witnessed him being buried six feet underneath. Hugh told me the situation, how the whole 400 was placed on lockdown, assuring me that sooner or later, the person who killed my father would be caught. From my window, I could see everything turn black and white upon the news of my father's death, and how all his wealth was passed on to me. Despite Hugh's efforts to keep the money transfer secret, some things are meant to slip out from the dark. Just a week had passed, and everyone had forgotten about my father's assassination. The whole city became bright and loud again as if a very important person hadn't died. Everything was back to normal. But not for
