Cash Machine: Rise to Riches

In a world where money is power, Ethan Kane is a nobody, a broke college dropout drowning in $15,000 of debt, with an eviction notice as his only companion. When a mysterious app, Cash Machine, appears on his phone, Ethan is thrust into a virtual reality game where every dollar earned is real, wired straight to his bank account. Armed with a glitchy WealthCore system that turns trash into treasure, Ethan must navigate the cutthroat Neon Market, outsmart rival players, and unravel the game’s dark secrets. Each trade brings him closer to riches, but also to danger as shadowy corporations, bloodthirsty gangs, and the enigmatic Overlord watch his every move. With 24 hours to earn $1,000 or face “deletion,” Ethan’s fight for survival becomes a quest for power. But as his wealth grows, so does the cost. Is Cash Machine a ticket to freedom or a trap that will bankrupt his soul? In this high-stakes game of greed and glory, Ethan will rise from nothing to everything or lose it all trying.
