The possibilities

Hmmm looking at my [Stats] the I could explore 4 things to try to gain money.

The first thing that I looked at was . That was a good boost ability. Maybe I could use it to turn the tables.

I have 10 of STR, I'm not a buff dude but also not fat, I'm a normal person. One more in the mob of people if you like to describe me. So If I play arm wrestling for example and win some games, with some excuse to rest 1 hour per match, I could even defeat amateur professionals. Or even paid streets fights, or 100 meters shorts races. I was thinking that but all of this things doesn't make $500.000 in 30 days.

The next thing was a powerful but neglected ability. I could steal anything within my reach and it could be gone in my personal inventory. I didn't explore so much but that would seem possible. But I immediately discarded. Why risk jail time when I have a time limit of 30 days? Even If I could steal a mighty work of art I don't have the proper channels to sell it or even if I sell it I probably die in jail in those next days because of the time restriction.

The other thing I thought was maybe I could warn people of their imminent death and then charging them a fee like those fake witches at the carnivals. No, too much risk. Even if they believed me, the medical community will notice this eye-catching anomaly. And I will become their guinea pig.

And the last thing I thought was the ability I tried it before and I could see through certain things. Of course, the first thing I tried was my own hands to see If I could see my bones. Not a chance. Then I tried looking through the clothes of a pretty looking girl. Nope.

But I could see through garbing bags, newspapers, and anything in that thickness and specific inorganic material, what BS of the description of the ability. If not for this impairment I would be hunting relics in the storage deposits like a certain MC on a novel that he recently read.

And then It was then when it hit me! Of course the same thickness as newspapers and same material but capable of gain a lot of money with them!

With a course on my mind, I checked a map on those giant maps on a tourist attraction for the nearest establishment and went over there. Walking, obviously since my kind mother didn't leave me any money and my wallet was empty. Good old USA, where they robbed you of your money before calling an ambulance "for their trouble".

The only things in my wallet were my Drive Licence that had a good 2 years before expire and a bunch of family photos. Oh and my expired coupon for that extra size pizza that I couldn't change because of all the zapping by the all mighty god and all that. Not that I'm resentful for a WHOLE pepperoni pizza for only $15 not at ALL.

Anyway, I needed at least some change money to do my plan. So I decided to go where all of the people with no one gram of dignity will go.

"Welcome to Miguel's Pawn Shop! Before you start taking off your clothes, we don't buy clothes only if they are brand new and from a first brand. Now that is that all of the way how can I help you?"

That was actually a warmer welcome that I remember from my teen days, maybe this employee is new in business. Well anyhow, that doesn't concern me.

"How much can you give me to pawn my driver's license?" I asked while handing it to the guy across the bulletproof glass.

He examined with a lot of detainment and said "Yeah, this is an original driver license. I could pawn this for you for $50 for 1 week or buy it on the back for $100". Since legally they can't buy documentation they need to do it on the back end of the store.

I knew that with this guys if you try to bargain they are going to get mad and offer you a lot let money or throw you out. So I said "Sure, I want to pawn it"

After I read carefully the documentation to not get played like I played Matthew and checking that all was in order I signed.

"Here is your money, come back soon if you have more things to pawn or sell!" and then added, "oh and sure, if you like to pay your pawn to recover your license haha".

With only 50 bucks and with a sour mood to recur to a fucking pawn shop to have some spending cash I continued walking.

When I arrived a doorman opened the grandiose gold doors that above said "Pegasus Casino" with the slogan "You could also fly as high as you want". I smiled at the cheeky slogan and proceeded straight to my designated money making game.
