Nathan Cole is just an ordinary high school student—until he discovers a mysterious investment system that rewards him every time he makes a smart financial move.

With no startup money and a school filled with rules against making money, Nathan starts small—selling snacks, study guides, and digital services. But standing in his way is Jordan Blackwell, the school’s richest and most influential student, who sees Nathan as a threat to his dominance.

As Nathan builds his empire, he learns that business isn’t just about making money—it’s about outthinking the competition. From black market snack sales to digital hustles, every move brings him closer to real success.

But when the system reveals higher-stakes investment opportunities, Nathan realizes he’s no longer just playing a school game. The real world is watching.

Will he outsmart his rivals and become a true financial powerhouse, or will greed and competition bring him down?

Money is power. But in the game of wealth, only the smartest survive.

Nathan sat in his room, staring at his phone screen.

His study guide business was growing fast—too fast.

At first, it was just a handful of students buying notes for $5 each. But word spread, and soon, students from other grades were asking for help with different subjects.

His current problem? He didn't have time to make all the study guides himself.

Nathan exhaled. If I want to scale this up, I need a system.

Nathan reached out to some of the smartest students in school—the ones who had top grades but didn't care about popularity or competing for scholarships.

He found two students willing to join:

Aaron, a math whiz who could solve equations in minutes.

Sophia, a history expert who had a way of summarizing textbooks into simple key points.

"For every study guide we sell, I'll give you 40% of the earnings."

Now, instead of doing all the work himself, Nathan's business ran on teamwork.

To make ordering easier, Nathan set up a Google Form.

Students could fill out what subject they needed help with, and within a few hours, they'd get a custom-made study guide.

Payment was handled through cash or mobile transfers.

The system was running smoothly, and by the end of the week, Nathan checked his balance:

But then, something unexpected happened.

Nathan was walking toward the cafeteria when a group of students blocked his way.

They weren't just random students.

Jordan stepped forward, smirking. "I hear you've been running another business."

Nathan stayed calm. "What's it to you?"

Jordan grinned. "Just letting you know that the school's cracking down on paid homework help. Apparently, some teacher found out, and now they're watching for it."

Jordan shrugged. "I don't have to. People talk."

Nathan clenched his jaw. Jordan was doing it again—trying to get him shut down.

But Nathan had already planned for this.

If the school was watching for paid homework help, then he'd just pivot again.

He smirked. "Thanks for the warning."

Nathan walked past him, already thinking about his next move.

If Jordan wanted to play dirty, then Nathan would play smarter.

And this time, he'd make sure Jordan couldn't stop him.
