"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.

A few minutes later, Ethan reached the lot where he had parked his car.

It was mostly empty now, save for a couple of other vehicles scattered around.

He unlocked the door, sliding into the driver's seat with a quiet sigh.

He sat there for a moment, letting the silence settle around him.

His hands rested on the steering wheel, but he didn't start the engine just yet.

His thoughts drifted — not just to the project, but to the people involved in it.

The foreman was capable, experienced, and practical.

The workers were hardworking, efficient. And then there was Riley.

She didn't just follow orders; she paid attention to the process, to the details.

And despite the dust and exhaustion of the day, she still took time to joke around, to make sure things were running smoothly.

Ethan exhaled, running a hand through his hair before finally starting the car.
