"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.

"Yeah, yeah," Zack said, still chuckling. "Go meet your date before another man hits her up."

Ethan ignored him, already rushing upstairs.

Once he reached his room, he yanked open his closet, grabbed a jacket, and threw it over his shoulder.

He had no time to shower or even properly fix his hair.

He caught a glimpse of himself in the mirror — tired, slightly messy, but passable. Good enough.

As he rushed back out into the hallway, he stopped by Vanessa's room.

Without much thought, he swung the door open.

Vanessa, who had been lying on her bed scrolling through her phone, sat up in surprise. "Uh — ?"

"I'm heading out," Ethan said quickly. "Keep yourself together."

She blinked at him. "What does that even mean?"

But before she could get an answer, he shut the door and ran downstairs.

It was already dark outside, and a cool breeze hit his face as he stepped onto the porch.
