A Beta Before An Alpha

In a gritty urban world where dreams drown faster than the desperate, Jason Hale is a forgotten orphan with no family, no future, and now just 60 days to live. Diagnosed with terminal pancreatic cancer, his only light is girlfriend Stephanie Scott—the woman he plans to marry before the end. But when he discovers her betrayal with a wealthy rival, despair drives him to leap into an empty hotel pool, clutching his grandfather's mysterious cross necklace. As water fills his lungs, the cross activates: a holographic system screen materializes, binding him to "Fortune's Deadline"—60 days to amass riches or perish. Complete meaningful tasks for wealth and lifespan extensions; fail, and penalties strip away time, memories, and secrets. With clear rules (no exploits, strategic growth only), hidden costs (erased pasts tying to his unknown parents), and escalating rewards (millions and months added), Jason rises from penniless delivery boy to empire-builder. But as fortune flows, betrayers close in, and the system's true source whispers of a larger conspiracy. Will Jason rewrite his fate, reclaim his love, and uncover his orphan origins before the clock hits zero? In this high-stakes progression tale of empowerment and suspense, every decision buys time—or buries it forever.

"I must be losing my mind," Min Suhyun muttered, struggling to grasp the unsettling reality that unfolded before her. How had she ended up here? In the realm of clichéd stories, such a trope typically befell the deceased, not someone who had merely skimmed through old drafts. And yet, here she was, trapped in the body of an insignificant extra named Serein Rowe. The realization hit her like a bolt of lightning, raising questions she couldn't easily dismiss. ‘This can't be another one of my lucid dreams... Is this some twisted cosmic joke?’ she pondered, her mind reeling with the absurdity of her situation. Nevertheless, given that she could barely do anything to return to her world, she might as well seize this opportunity to finally finish what she had started, right? Living here and continuing until the end of this draft, she could create a good ending, '—though maybe it won't be as easy…?' Surviving as a side character suffering from a curse-like chronic illness? That would undoubtedly be a struggle. Now, that would undoubtedly pose a challenge, although it’s still a better fate than dying early, serving only as a trigger for the story's advancement. Min Suhyun contemplated for a moment before firmly resolving to a single objective: To survive until the very end.

The secrets that lay beneath the veil of reality. One of Magic. Will she use that newly found knowledge to reignite the spark of hope or stomp on its embers for good.

I was a disgrace to the Prestwick family—a poor, unwanted son-in-law they wished their daughter had never married. She had chosen me for my looks, but now, even that wasn’t enough. She wanted out. A divorce. To erase me from her life and marry into wealth like her family had always intended. But I loved her. Despite the insults, the humiliation, the way they treated me like dirt beneath their feet—I refused to let go. That was my biggest mistake. Frustrated by my defiance, my brother-in-law took matters into his own hands. He killed me, tossing my body into a cold, dark river, leaving me to sink into oblivion. I should have died. I did die. But before I took my final breath, a man appeared before me, cloaked in shadow, his voice like a whisper from the abyss. "What is your last wish?" I should have begged for revenge. I should have cursed their names. But all I wanted was one more chance. One more chance to live. And so, I was granted life again. But I was no longer the same. My soul was no longer my own. My body was no longer mine to control. Because I had been reborn as something far more powerful. I was no longer John Prestwick. I was the Devil himself.
