I Became Rich Just By Making A Wish But At What Cost

Mr_Raiden
What happens when a broke, 22-year-old nobody in 1999 makes a desperate wish to be rich... and the universe actually answers? Midnight strikes. Time freezes. And a glowing screen appears. [SYSTEM INITIATED: WEALTHBOUND] You wished to be rich. Now earn it. From giving away his last $100, to owning 5 winning lottery tickets. From watching tech crashes on TV, to shorting them before the world knew they’d happen. Julian Crest gets access to investments from the future — stocks, startups, classified takeovers. Sounds like a dream, right? Well… “Wait, hold up. Who said anything about world domination?” “I’m just trying to get rich, eat good food, flirt with a few girls, and sleep till noon.” “Why do my missions involve blood, blackmail, and billion-dollar betrayals?!” Shut him up already! Ahem— Follow Julian’s twisted rise through the deadly game of wealth, where each reward brings new temptations… and each failure brings a punishment worse than poverty. He just wanted to be rich.

Family System In Naruto

Uchiha Yuhara has spent fifteen years living in the world of Naruto. During that time, he survived war, trained relentlessly, and rose to be one of the Uchiha clan’s most promising young shinobi. But the one thing he never got—his cheat ability—never came. Until now. Just as he’s about to abandon the clan and flee Konoha to avoid the forthcoming massacre, the system finally activates... and shackles his fate to the Uchiha forever. 『Clan Binding System Activated』 『If the Uchiha survives, you grow stronger. If the Uchiha is destroyed, you die with them.』 Running is no longer an option. With less than a year until Itachi slaughters the clan, Yuhara is forced into an impossible role: save the very people doomed by their pride and division.

Marvel: A Man with a System

David Arthur Brown was an ordinary man from another Earth—a software developer and avid fan of movies and comics—until a fire claimed his life. But instead of death, he wakes up in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, inhabiting the body of a man with the same name who had fallen into a coma during the Chitauri invasion. With no way back and no idea how or why he was here, David must navigate his new reality while grappling with the loss of his past life. Things take an even stranger turn when a glowing blue interface appears before him—an enigmatic *system* bound to his existence, offering quests, rewards, and a mysterious lottery function. But David isn’t in a rush to embrace its power. Paranoia grips him as he questions the system’s true purpose. His first quest is simple: recover from his injuries and return home. Yet as he regains his strength, the weight of his new life presses down on him. With the past behind him and an uncertain future ahead, David must decide how to survive in a world of gods, heroes, and monsters—where his next move could mean the difference between life and death. Will he carve his own path in this universe, or will he become just another casualty in a world shaped by legends? ------------------------------------------------------------------ Disclaimer: I own nothing other than my ideas. ------------------------------------------------------------------ The image is generated using AI

Her, then Him

She thought she had her faith figured out—until her heart began to wander… and wonder. Hannah has always tried to be the good daughter, the faithful believer, the quiet girl who keeps her eyes forward and her feelings buried. In a world where the soul underneath is meant to matter more than what the world sees, she thought she'd mastered what it meant to be right in God’s eyes. But when she steps into the drama club—a world bursting with color, questions, and a captivating student named Junia—her carefully kept heart begins to stir. And when Junia turns out to be Harin, a boy with soft eyes and secrets of his own, Hannah finds herself standing at a terrifying crossroads. Not just between *Her*, then *Him*... But between who she thought she was and who she might be. Between the comfort of silence and the cost of truth. Between her own plan—and God's. Torn between devotion and desire, faith and fear, Hannah is faced with the painful reality that obedience doesn’t always feel like peace. Sometimes, it feels like losing everything you've built. Sometimes, it feels like finally being found. *Her, then Him* is a raw, introspective coming-of-age story about identity, spiritual confusion, first love, and the quiet courage it takes to surrender—not just to love, but to something greater than yourself. A story that asks: When appearances fall away… what’s left of you underneath?
