Eerie Descent: Sorry, Money Really Can Do Anything

The uncanny descended, turning the world upside down.

Money became worthless paper, and former tycoons and beggars found themselves on the same starting line.

Humanity trembled under rules like “No talking” and “No lights.”

I, once the world’s richest man, also thought I had nothing left.

That was until I was cornered in a restroom and ran into the knock-at-the-door specter, an encounter certain to end in death.

[Tycoon Spending System activated!]

[Would you like to pay 10 million to purchase the “Shut Up” service and make it leave?]

I froze, staring at the long string of zeros in my bank account.

So my money was still money after all!

When a survivor squad was wiped out during a bloody mission over a single ghost coin,

I spent 1 billion to reserve a seven-day safe zone across the entire uncanny city.

When a top powerhouse faced an S-rank specter and prepared to lay down their life,

I pulled out my black card. “Don’t rush off to your death. Let me ask the price first: how much to buy its life?”

Sorry, in this hopeless world, money really can buy you anything!
