That morning, the sky was still soft orange when Luky woke up. For the first time in months, he did not feel burdened by the mind to go to school. Conversely, a thrilling anticipation flows in his pulse.
He jumped out of the bed and immediately took a shower. When he stood in front of the blurred bathroom mirror, seeing the shadow of his same, a new mission suddenly appeared in the hologram system.

Luky smiled. This system is not only about money and revenge, but also forms its character. He likes that.
He rushed to a small kitchen. His mother was awake and prepared to start the day by ironing.
"Morning, ma'am. Mother just sat down, today Luky made breakfast," Luky said cheerfully.
Ms. Nana was surprised. "Son? Are you okay? It's not as usual."
"Very well, ma'am. Mother is too tired. Rest for a while." Luky began to shake the eggs, heat the bread, and prepare warm milk. With makeshift cooking skills, he tried to present the best.

Ms. Nana ate breakfast with teary eyes. "Thank you, son. I am very happy this morning."
"You're welcome, ma'am. Later home from school, Luky has a surprise for Mother," Luky said mysteriously. He has planned to buy a new house, but it takes reasonable reasons.
After cleaning the plate, Luky entered his room. It's time for change. He opened all the luxurious packages from yesterday. An elegant black suit from Ernegildo Zegna, Brioni-branded white shirt, Oxford leather shoes from John Lobb, and of course, the Limited Edition Platinum watch.
He wore everything slowly. Every piece of cloth feels so premium on his skin. As he tied the shoelaces and wore his watch, he stood up and looked at himself in a cracked small mirror.
What he saw was no longer Luky the poor. What he saw was a young man who was handsome, confident, and authoritative. Clothing is not everything, but they give him a confidence that he previously did not have.
"Luk, it's time ... Wow!" Bima who usually enters without tap, stunned at the door of the room. Dito behind him also widened.
"L ... Luky? Is that really you?" Dito grinned, approached and twirled Luky. "What happened? You rob the bank or what?"
Luky laughed. "Don't overdo it. I can only ... Sustenance is plugging."
"Sustenance of the Napko? This brand can the price for buying a new motorbike every time you use one set!" Bima's protest, still can't believe.
"I won the lottery," Luky said, already preparing an alibi. "Lottery from the telephone application that I filled out yesterday. The prize is quite large, so I decided to change my appearance."
Bima and Dito looked at each other, still skeptical but were too happy to see changes to their friends.
"Clarissa and Kevin will definitely gawk!" said Dito excited.
"About them," Luky said, his face became more serious. "I have moved on. I don't care anymore about them. What's important now is the three of us, and mother."
Bima patted Luky's shoulder. "Finally you realize too! Come on, we leave. I can't wait to see their faces."
The trip to school feels different. If they usually take the bus, this time Luky calls a premium taxi. Bima and Dito still feel like in a dream.
When they arrived at the Merdeka International High School gate, the effect was immediately visible. The crowd at the school gate immediately became quiet. All eyes were fixed on Luky who stepped confidently from the taxi, followed by his two friends.
The whispers began to be heard.
"Who is that? New artist?"
"Wait ... that ... Luky? The poor Lucky?"
"There's no way! He wears a zegna suit! That costs hundreds of millions!"
"His watch ... is the Limited Edition Patek Philippe? There are only 10 in the world!"
Luky ignored all that, walking straight to his locker. It was there, for the first time, he met Clarissa.
Clarissa was standing near Kevin locker, laughing cheerfully. When his eyes caught Luky's figure, his smile immediately disappeared. His mouth was open, his eyes widened from top to bottom, as if he could not believe what he saw.
"L ... Luky?" The guman, hardly heard.
Luky just nodded briefly, his face was neutral. "Clarissa," he said in a flat tone, then passed the girl just like that to open her locker.
Clarissa was stunned. He expects Luky who is frowning, sad, or angry. Not an indifferent attitude of this cold indifference. And his appearance ... it made him feel very small.
"Luky, wait! What ... What happened? Where did all this come from?" Clarissa asked, trying to chase him.
"Lottery," Luky answered simply without turning his head.
"Lottery? Are you suddenly rich because of the lottery?" Clarissa sounded disbelief and a little panic. "Why don't you say?"
Luky finally turned his head, his sharp eyes stared directly at Clarissa. "What's the business with you? Aren't you with Kevin now? Just focus on him."
Clarissa blushed and angry mixed. Before he could reply, the crowd in the hall suddenly divided. Kevin and his gang came in their powerful style. However, their steps stopped when they saw Luky.
Kevin narrowed his eyes, staring at Luky from head to toe. His confidence was shaken for a moment. He recognized the quality of the clothes. Even he himself did not have such a luxurious watch.
"Lucky? Where do you want a costume party?" Kevin tried to mock, but his voice was not as hard as usual. "Rent where the coat is? It must be expensive for a day."
Luky just smiled faintly, a smile that made Kevin uncomfortable. "Good morning, Kevin. No, this is not rented. And my name is Luky, not Lucky. Please remember."
Kevin's gang was silent. They are not used to hearing Luky reply so calmly and confidently.
Kevin approached, trying to intimidate. "So, where did you get money from? Gambling? Drugs? Just watch out, I can report the police."
"Very busy with other people's affairs, the student council president," Luky said, closing his locker. "Instead of taking care of me, you better do the history task that you copy-paste from the internet. The teacher already knows, you know."
Kevin's face pale. "What? You don't just accuse!"
"Just check turnitin later," Luky said, turning around and walked away, leaving Kevin who was confused, angry, and for the first time was afraid.
Bima and Dito followed behind with a very satisfied face.
"Amazing, Luke! He was speechless!" whispered Dito.
Luky smiled. That's just the beginning.
When they turn at the end of the hall, a beautiful girl with a piece of black bob and a cold aura alone standing near the window, as if watching everything. She is Anya Putri, the only person in a school whose wealth status is comparable and maybe even exceeding Kevin.
His sharp and intelligent eyes stared at Luky. Not with a look of admiration or surprise like the others, but with an analytical look, full of curiosity.
When Luky passed, Anya's thin lips curved into a very faint smile, almost invisible.
Luky caught that gaze and nodded a little, a small respect between two people who understood the game of power.
Anya replied to the nod with a very subtle nod before returning to look out the window, as if nothing had happened.
But in his mind, Luky heard the sound of the system.
Ting!
[Target identified: Anya Putri. Threat level: low. Alliance Potential Level: Medium.]
Luky keeps walking. Today is a good day. The day when the game board was shaken, and everyone began to realize that the poor "lucky" could not be underestimated.
His attention was diverted by a cheerful junior, Nina, who greeted him warmly. "Good morning, Sis Luky! Wow, so cool today!"
"Good morning, Nina. Thank you," Luky replied with a sincere smile, very different from his cold smile for Kevin.
He continued his steps, ready to face his first day as his new version.
