You're So Old Jokes

Abandoned by the woman he loved for a man who represented everything he could never be...wealthy, powerful, untouchable—he is forced to confront the brutal truth of his existence. His home is nothing but a decaying room near a slum, his future looked nonexistent, his worth measured in what he could provide. When despair drove him into the night, it nearly cost him his life. On the brink of death, a mysterious voice offered him a single truth: “In this world, only wealth grants the right to live with dignity. Will you succumb or will you arise and conquer?” With no strength left to resist and nothing left to lose, he accepted his cruel fate and chose. What awakened was by no means a blessing but a predatory system that allowed him to steal wealth itself. Not just sheer money, but luck, opportunities, influence and skills, even the invisible advantages that keep the powerful on top and the weak beneath them. Every gain he makes is taken from someone else. Every rise leaves another person falling and crumbling in dust. As he climbs from the gutter into the hidden layers of society—corporate elites, criminal empires, and untouchable dynasties, he must confront a terrifying question: How much is a human life worth, when wealth can be taken by force?

Gerald Burn. He was a mercenary, a soldier known as 'the devil from hell' and held the 'number one' position in the special forces. His abilities, which were beyond ordinary human capabilities, made him feared by every opponent. Every step he took reeked of death, his presence revered by his comrades. One month ago, he managed to find the family that had been separated from him for twenty-five years. His superiors allowed him to meet his mother for a month, on the condition that he accept a special mission: to single-handedly rescue hostages from a terrorist camp after returning from his family visit. Unfortunately, a tragic fate befell him. He died in a bomb explosion. When he woke up, a system appeared before him. The system explained that he had died and been revived in a new world. However, Gerald refused to accept it because he had just met his mother. The system granted his request. He would return to his original world after completing ten missions. Each mission would reward him with a 'ticket to the afterlife'. Once those tickets to the afterlife were collected, he could open the gates of reincarnation and return to his original world. Unfortunately, as time went on living in the new world, he had many people around him who cared about him. What would Gerald do? If the system's missions were completed, who would he choose? His mother or the people closest to him in the new world?
