Life was hell for Ace. Stuck with parents who showered love on his little brother while treating him like garbage, his only escape was university. Then, they crossed the final line: they kicked him out with nothing.

Homeless and desperate, wandering the streets with no hope, Ace hears a voice in his head: "System Initializing." Suddenly, his life isn't just about survival. Mysterious tasks appear, offering rewards – cash, skills, opportunities. This is his shot.

Armed only with grit and a mysterious interface granting him a path to power, Ace vows to turn his rags into riches. He'll build an empire from the gutter, prove his worth, and make those who threw him away regret it. But can the System truly rewrite a destiny written in pain? Follow Ace's rise from unwanted son to self-made titan.

A new sense of purpose had replaced the desperate silence in Unit B-17. This new energy came from having a plan. Evelyn was at her laptop, but she was doing more than just monitoring the Aegis dashboard. She had one new tab open to research "Business Registration Requirements - State of California," and another was comparing prices for bulk electronics on auction sites. On the other side of the workbench, Ace was intently studying a disassembled tablet instead of just fixing it. His focus was intense as he tried to understand the architecture of its circuits, silently willing the nanites inside him to learn alongside him. Their goal was no longer just to make seventy dollars at a pawn shop; it was to create a blueprint for their future.
