"The world’s not fair, but fairness doesn’t pay the bills. You don’t wait for a handout — you build your own damn ladder, one step at a time."
Ethan Grey’s life was built on ambition, hard work, and hope — until a single accusation destroyed it all. 
Framed by his ruthless boss, Ethan loses his job, his reputation, and is left drowning in half a million dollars of debt. 
Cast aside by a society that thrives on crushing the weak, he’s at rock bottom with no way out.  
But in his darkest moment, something extraordinary happens. A mysterious system awakens, offering Ethan a second chance — but with rules. 
[Congratulations, You have awakened the Harem Investment System]
It can’t make him rich overnight, and it won’t give him shortcuts. Instead, it points him toward physical investments: crumbling properties, broken-down machines, and forgotten treasures. 
Each one is a gamble, but with every success, the system rewards him with newfound skills and opportunities.

"You better not be calling me to drag me out somewhere," Ethan said tiredly.

"Relax, man," Zack's voice came through, laced with excitement. "I've got news."

Ethan pinched the bridge of his nose. "This better be good."

"Oh, it's better than good," Zack said, his grin practically audible. "I got you a race."

"A race, genius. Against Vanessa."

Ethan sat up straighter. "The racer from your club?"

Ethan sighed, rubbing his temple. "Zack, I never agreed to a race."

"Yeah, well, you also never said you wouldn't race."

Ethan let out a dry laugh. "That's not how this works."

"Look, man," Zack said, his tone turning serious. "She's good. Like, really good. And I just staked fifty grand on you winning."

Ethan nearly dropped his phone. "You what?"

"You heard me," Zack said unapologetically. "Fifty grand. On you."
