On the day we turned eighteen and awakened our powers, I was the only F-rank good-for-nothing in the class. Even the school bully’s dog was stronger than me.
That was until a man-eating vine smashed through the school gates. A cold, mechanical voice rang in my head: “Pay-to-win System activated. Balance: 3,284 yuan. 1,000 yuan buys an E-rank Fireball spell, 100,000 unlocks a second power type, and 100 million gets you a god-tier forbidden spell.”
From then on, the world gained a legend who played by no rules.
Ten years of hard training couldn’t match one of my top-ups. While the geniuses fought tooth and nail for tournament rankings, I turned the global league into my personal spending spree. “Queen of Lightning” Lin Yuqing blasted me with her SS-rank power for half an hour. I casually bought a set of absolute-defense gear. “Why don’t you take a break?”
But when humanity’s last stronghold was swallowed by a beast tide, I was ready to drain every account I had to turn the tide. Then a crimson warning suddenly popped up:
“Total spending is about to exceed the critical threshold. Your next successful top-up will awaken the Abyssal Overlord.”
