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.

Back in the Game… Still in Shock

I logged back into TWO and found myself in the inn room. My character was sitting on the bed, but my brain was still processing what had happened.

The auction price was still climbing, and Arx's offer was still there, staring at me like a temptation from the gods.

> "I'll buy it for 1000 CP if you tell me where you got it."

If I told him the truth—that it was a beta-only item I found in the starting village—then the entire internet would explode. People would flood the forums, demand answers, and worst-case scenario?

The devs might fix my beta version.

Losing my beta advantage would be like throwing away a winning lottery ticket.

> No reply. No leaks. Play it safe.

With that decision made, I took a deep breath and left the inn.

The streets were already bustling with players and NPCs. I walked through the familiar roads and soon found myself at Nina's tailoring shop.

Through the window, I could see Nina working on a dress. Her hands moved quickly, sewing fabric together with skillful precision.

> She didn't just sell clothes—she made them.

I pushed open the door, and a soft bell chimed. Nina glanced up and smiled.

> Nina: "Oh, it's you again. Back to deal with the rats?"

> Me: "Yeah. I still need to figure out their hideout."

She nodded but then gave me an appraising look.

> Nina: "Before that… could you help me with something?"

Nina needs help running her store for the next four days.

✔ Assist Nina with her shop duties.

✔ Learn about tailoring and fashion.

I frowned. This wasn't exactly the kind of quest I was expecting, but something about the reward being unknown intrigued me.

Besides, if I wanted to get paid properly for the rat mission, it wouldn't hurt to build a better relationship with Nina.

> Me: "Alright. What do you need me to do?"

> Nina: "Good! For today, you'll help me organize materials and take inventory."

> I just signed up for four days of manual labor, didn't I?
