"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.

With every handful of sand they packed into place, the castle took better shape than before.

Smoother walls. Taller towers. A sturdier moat.

They had learned from their mistakes, and their second attempt was undeniably stronger.

But as Ethan stepped back to admire their work, a small voice in the back of his head reminded him of something very important —

They were still too close to the water.

Another wave, even slightly bigger than the last one, would wipe it all away again.
