Liam Thorne had everything – wealth, legacy, a future as heir to the Thorne dynasty. Then, in a single night, he lost it all. Framed for his father's murder by his ruthless uncle Silas and treacherous cousin Evelyn, Liam is publicly disgraced, violently disinherited, and cast into the gutter. Penniless, shunned, and hunted by loan sharks, he clings to one thing: the fading memories of his beloved mother, Elizabeth, the only light in his shattered world.
At his absolute lowest point, trapped in despair and near self-destruction, the FINAL CHANCE SYSTEM activates. A cosmic entity bound to his desperation, the System presents a terrifying bargain: Spend $1,000,000 in 7 days on "meaningful utilization" – actions that demonstrably alter his trajectory of ruin. Success grants access to powerful tools like the Tier-1 Resource Network (offering unparalleled intelligence) and elusive Social Capital. Failure means the permanent erasure of all memories of his mother.
