A struggling businessman on the verge of bankruptcy finds himself drunk one night, only to wake up in the past—specifically, in 1943 London, amidst the chaos of World War II.

This is an era of both immense danger and unprecedented opportunity. It is a time when the British Empire, once the unrivaled superpower where the sun never set, is finally witnessing the dusk of its dominion. Meanwhile, the United States is rising to claim the mantle of global leadership, reshaping the world's balance of power.

This is the era where everything begins—where old rulers step down and new powers rise to take their place. This is the era where Pierre finds himself, an era filled with the kind of opportunity he never had before. A small, precious chance to rise, to become a giant, to seize the throne of power, to become a ruler, a world hegemon.

Note: This is a good novel, but since it’s still new and I don’t have a proofreader, I’m currently relying on AI to catch errors. For now, my main focus is advancing the story, but I plan to come back later to polish the text, fix mistakes, and possibly even modify the plot if needed. I’d really appreciate it if you could leave notes on what you think should be changed or improved. Thank you!

I will be posting this story on RoyalRoad with the same name.

The Rise Of A Billionaire 1943

[Military orders 5,000 tons of Agent Orange from KTJ Chemical Industries. Contract value: 10 million USD. Experience gained: 100,000 points!]

Even though Pierre was in London when the massive gift package for Xiao Riben was signed, the system delivered his reward the moment the contract was finalized.

The 100,000 experience points were impressive, but Pierre remained calm. After all, he still needed nearly 10 million more points for his next upgrade.

He knew he had to keep pushing forward.

Actually, at the moment the system issued its reward, he was already deep in negotiations with the National Defense Supply Company over a new weapons contract.
