"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.

Ethan shot Zack a glare, but the man only grinned.

"Who knows? Maybe the ghost of a lonely rich guy roams the halls, waiting for someone to finally hire a bunny-eared maid to keep him company."

Ethan groaned, rubbing his temple. "Zack…"

Claire, who had been mostly listening, tilted her head. "Bunny-eared maid?"
