I Became Rich Just By Making A Wish…… But At What Cost

Mr_Raiden
What happens when a broke, 22-year-old nobody in 1999 makes a desperate wish to be rich... and the universe actually answers? Midnight strikes. Time freezes. And a glowing screen appears. [SYSTEM INITIATED: WEALTHBOUND] You wished to be rich. Now earn it. From giving away his last $100, to owning 5 winning lottery tickets. From watching tech crashes on TV, to shorting them before the world knew they’d happen. Julian Crest gets access to investments from the future — stocks, startups, classified takeovers. Sounds like a dream, right? Well… “Wait, hold up. Who said anything about world domination?” “I’m just trying to get rich, eat good food, flirt with a few girls, and sleep till noon.” “Why do my missions involve blood, blackmail, and billion-dollar betrayals?!” Shut him up already! Ahem— Follow Julian’s twisted rise through the deadly game of wealth, where each reward brings new temptations… and each failure brings a punishment worse than poverty. He just wanted to be rich.
