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.
