Gold was a poor young man who starved to help his family survive. On his dying breath, he begged God to save him. One of Them happened to hear his plead and decided to give him a chance. However, when Gold met with the temperamental catlike Goddess, he became greedy and changed his wish. “I want to be rich.”, he said. The Goddess still fulfilled the wish, but the price was more than he had bargained for. Gold earned his second chance together with a promise of becoming the wealthiest person on Earth. He just had to survive first. First rule: You have to spend your weekly budget entirely or you die. It’s not enough? Don’t worry, the budget will increase every week. Second rule: You can only spend on yourself and not a single coin can be wasted. Third rule: No one can know your secret. Gold: “How will I help my family like this? How will I explain the origin of the money?” Goddess: “Not my problem!” To survive, Gold will have to learn how to keep his secret hidden as he grows an empire. *** Tags: Poor to rich, Progression, Business, Wealth, Secret organization, Faction building, Technology. I came across this novel idea of a MC who has to spend certain amounts of money to survive but can’t relax because of the rules that come attached to the money. The alternative is death, of course. Everyone dreams of stumbling in a load of money, but how would you explain thousands, millions, and even billions appearing out of nowhere? So, I decided to write my version where the MC struggles to follow the rules while building an empire, both in secret and in broad daylight.
