In a world where "Treasure World Online" (TWO) is the most popular game, players can find artifacts, treasures, and rare items that can be sold for real money. The game was created by a mysterious genius developer, and millions of people play it to get rich.

Our protagonist is completely broke. He dreams of playing TWO to escape poverty but can't afford the game. One day, he accidentally wins the lottery—but before he can enjoy his new wealth, he gets scammed, leaving him with only a little money. In frustration, he spends his last savings to buy the game.

But something weird happens. Instead of the normal version, he gets a secret Beta Version of TWO, which has:

Exclusive content that no other player has access to.

Unreleased hidden quests, NPCs, and secret locations.

A mysterious system that gives him strange "luck-based" abilities.

A Normal Morning… or So I Thought

I woke up feeling refreshed. You know, the kind of wake-up where you don't feel like absolute trash? Yeah, that was new. Usually, after a long gaming session, I'd wake up feeling like I got hit by a truck. But today? I felt great.

I did my usual morning routine—brushed my teeth, took a shower, and threw on some clothes. Then, I realized something terrible…

Like, "I have three instant ramen packs left" kind of broke.

So, like any responsible adult (not that I was one), I grabbed my wallet and went to the convenience store to buy groceries with the last of my money.

That's when I overheard something insane.

I was standing in line, minding my own business, when two guys in front of me started talking.

> Guy 1: "Hey, did you hear about that gem someone sold in TWO?"

> Guy 2: "Yeah! The one that gives an EXP buff for an hour? The internet's going nuts over it."

> Guy 1: "Some people think it's a secret event item."

> Guy 2: "Or maybe an ultra-rare drop? Either way, it's already at 800 MC in the auction."

I barely even heard the cashier asking for my payment because my mind was already somewhere else. I quickly paid, grabbed my stuff, and did the fastest grocery store exit in history.

I needed to check this. Right now.

The second I got home, I slammed my bags onto the floor, nearly tripped over a chair, and launched myself into my PC.

Log in. Marketplace. Active Listings.

> [Strange Gem] - Current Bid: 800 MC

Do you have any idea how much that is? I started the auction at 50 MC! And now? This random item I found was practically a gold mine.

But that wasn't the craziest part.

I scrolled down to the comments section.

> [Player 1:] Is this a hidden event item?! Where do you get it?!

[Player 2:] No way, this has to be a developer secret.

[Player 3:] I NEED THIS! SOMEONE OUTBID ME!

[Player 4:] Whoever found this, you're sitting on a goldmine.

I just accidentally caused a server-wide frenzy.

And then, I saw the comment that nearly made me fall out of my chair.

> [Arx:] I'll buy this for 1000 MC if you tell me where you found it.

One of the top-ranked players in TWO. A guy so famous that even casual players knew his name.

My brain did the quick math. In the Two-World Marketplace, MC could be converted into real money.

Like, "no longer eating instant ramen for a month" kind of fortune.

I stared at the offer, my hands hovering over the keyboard.

> Do I take the deal… or keep this secret to myself?

Either way, this game just got a lot more interesting.
