"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's grip on the wheel tightened.

"They see Atlas as a threat now," he said, voice calmer. "That's the only reason they're reaching out."

Lila was quiet for a second before murmuring, "You really built something amazing, you know. I saw the posts… You did great my love,"

Ethan let out a small, humorless chuckle. "Apparently amazing enough for Newton to come crawling back."

"I just don't want them to ruin what you've worked for."

He sighed, shifting in his seat as he pulled into a quiet parking lot near a closed coffee shop.

The neon sign flickered dimly, and for a moment, he just sat there, staring at it, letting Lila's words sink in.

"They won't," he said finally. "I won't let them."

Lila hummed softly, as if trying to gauge whether or not he truly believed his own words. "You don't have to stress over this alone, you know. I'm here for you now and I will always be,"

Ethan closed his eyes briefly, exhaling. "I know."
