Light travels through the only wind of a room, chasing away any lingering darkness, allowing for the single size bed, the small table placed perfectly in the centre and the small kitchen in the corner to come into view. Small dust particles glitter about whenever they past through the sunlight's direct path.
Lying on the bed was a young man with an average face, appearing to be in his early twenties, his black wavy hair disheveled and his beard unruly and bushy. He lay there, motionless, until, with a sudden jolt, he awoke. Gasping for breath, he seemed to exhale each time as if it might be his last.
His face glistened with sweat, beads of perspiration trickling incessantly as he surveyed his surroundings, trying to piece together the puzzle of his new environment. The ceiling above him was unfamiliar, and as he strained to recollect his last memories, a pounding headache struck him like a relentless storm. In his mind, a chaotic collage of unfamiliar and familiar memories intertwined, forming a disorienting and jumbled reel, similar to a poorly stitched-together movie.
Memories of his own dreadful past and the harrowing life of another converged and melded, entwining their souls as one. Gradually, the excruciating headache receded, allowing clarity to return to his mind. "What in the name of ROB is going on?" he exclaimed, bewildered by his surroundings. "Where the hell am I?" As he pondered these questions, the answers seemed to emerge naturally, revealing that he now resided in a rundown and dismal apartment. Not truly his own, but rather the abode of the soul with which he had just finished fusing with.
Indeed, one didn't need to be a genius to grasp the situation. With his extensive reading of light novels, especially isekai stories, he swiftly connected the dots, realizing that he had experienced a transmigration into this new body after his unremarkable demise. Strangely, he couldn't deny the overwhelming sense of happiness he felt in that very moment, finding himself immersed in this peculiar reality. It was as if all the tales he had read before his death had culminated in this new extraordinary chapter of his life.
Mc PoV:
As I delve into the memories flooding my mind, it becomes evident which world I have transmigrated into. This body once belonged to the protagonist of a Chinese novel I read in my past life. Observing the date and the condition of his current dwelling, it's clear that this is the time before he acquired the coveted "golden finger" – the transformative element that propelled him from a destitute recent graduate in business and an unemployed 22 year old to the pinnacle of this world. The system, as it's called, is yet to be bestowed upon him, and I find myself navigating through the early stages of his journey, eager to see how this will unfold for me.
As if on cue, akin to the saying "speak of the devil and he appears," it seems the same principle applies to systems. Just as I pondered the notion of the system, a transparent blue screen materialized before me, displaying words that seemed to hover in mid-air. It was a surreal sight, confirming that the system had now presented itself to guide me to the pinnacle of this universe.
[THE TYCOON SYSTEM HAS BEEN FULLY LINKED WITH THE HOST.
ALL SYSTEM FUNCTIONS ARE FULLY OPERATIONAL.
WOULD YOU LIKE TO BEGINNING THE TUTORIAL?.]
With a resolute decision, I eagerly responded, "Yes," my anticipation mounting as the tutorial commenced. The transparent blue screen now became a dynamic canvas, unveiling a wealth of information and guidance to help me comprehend the intricacies of the Tycoon System. Every detail and function unfolded before my eyes, and I absorbed the knowledge with fervour.
I learned or rather confirmed it's two functions.
1. Gacha: Every day, I'll receive ten Gacha points, which I can use to spin the wheel and receive rewards varying from money to things like land deeds. As a starter pack bonus, I have the opportunity to spin a one-time money multiplier generated by the system, ranging from 2x to 10x. This is an incredible chance to kickstart my journey and enhance my prospects within this world.
2. The Store: it holds a wide array of items, and I'm allowed to select one from the list. However, I must choose wisely, as the item I select will become the sole option available for purchase within the Store. Once I make my choice, there's no going back, and I'll be committed to that selection. It's a crucial decision that will significantly impact my future endeavors. I'll need to consider my options carefully before making my final decision.
...
The system's familiarity and straightforwardness are just as I remember which is actually reassuring. With the tutorial's clarity in mind, I wasted no time and directed my focus towards accessing the Gacha section. As I did so, a vivid Gacha wheel emerged before me, divided into nine equal parts. At the center, an arrow pointed upwards, and a handle awaited, though I quickly realized physical actions were unnecessary. The system responded seamlessly to my mental commands, ready to execute my choices effortlessly. Excitement welled up within me as I prepared to spin the wheel.
In the original story, the protagonist managed to secure the 10x multiplier, and now I'm hoping for the same outcome. Using my thoughts, I envisioned the wheel spinning, and it came to life, whirling and spinning until it gradually slowed down. Overwhelmed with anticipation, I couldn't bear to watch and looked away. After a few tense seconds, the sound of fireworks filled the air, prompting me to cautiously glance with one eye still closed. And to my delight, I let out a resounding "yes" when I saw that it had landed on the 10x multiplier. The sheer joy I feel right now is truly indescribable.
The euphoria of my successful spin remained, and the realization of the boundless possibilities this 10x multiplier held filled me with excitement. As the wheel dissipated, the gacha section transitioned back to its default state, awaiting my future command.
[ GP: 10. Roll.]
In the store, as I perused the list of available items, I recalled the protagonist's choice in the novel: the additional GP option. Though it allows purchasing additional Gacha points of different grades, I decided to take a different path. My eyes landed on the enticing "Binding Contract," the very same item the protagonist had won during his journey. The allure of this contract was undeniable, for it possesses the remarkable ability to be filled in and signed by two parties without them knowing of its mystical capabilities as long as all terms and conditions are agreed upon. Once sealed, it becomes an unbreakable pact between them, all the while keeping its hidden powers concealed. Forcing both parties to fulfil it's content with them knowing.
What makes it even more intriguing is that I don't have to be one of the parties involved, granting me a unique advantage in various situations. Furthermore, the cost is a mere $100, which seems like a steal for such an opulent and potent asset. Without hesitation, I confidently chose the "Binding Contract," eager to wield its extraordinary potential to my advantage.
With a mixture of excitement and anticipation, I swiftly returned to the Gacha option, eager to see what fortune awaited me. In my mind, I clicked on the "ROLL" button, initiating the spin of the Gacha wheel once more. My heart raced as I waited for the outcome, hoping that luck would be on my side, just as it was with the 10x multiplier. The virtual wheel came to life, spinning with a mesmerizing grace, and I braced myself for the revelation of the rewards to come.
My heart pounded with anticipation. The Gacha wheel spun before me, and to my astonishment, the rewards were beyond my wildest dreams:
• $10,200
• $85,000
• $5,000
• 1x body enhancement pill
• $500
• $99,000
• $20
• 1x Custom Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat Redeye Widebody
• $86,000
• $14,480
But the most incredible moment came when the 10x money multiplier was applied. The total winnings skyrocketed to a jaw-dropping 3.2 million dollars! The surge of excitement and disbelief washed over me as I realized the unimaginable wealth I now possessed
The windfall of wealth left me in disbelief, realizing that I now possess the means to transform my life in this new world. With such a tremendous fortune at my disposal, the possibilities seem endless, and my journey as the protagonist in this story is sure to be filled with excitement and grandeur.
Right after the gacha the system informed me that all my future monetary winnings will be conveniently sent to a designated bank account of whose card is safely stored in the System Space. Having my rewards neatly organised is an absolute plus in my book.
It also informed me that vehicles, like the Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat Redeye Widebody I won, will appear at a nearby parking lot once I retrieve the keys from the System Space. It's like that one game that was popular in my previous life, GTO or something.
It also explained that once I remove items from the storage space, I won't be able to put them back.
This journey is filled with endless potential, and I'm ready to embrace every challenge and triumph that comes my way.
" wow, just like that I became a millionaire.
This life is going to be something else".
