Elliot is reborn five years into the past, carrying with him the regret of a lifetime. In his previous life, he sold the gaming console for New World to fund his mother’s medical treatment, only to lose her when the money fell short. This time, he is determined to rewrite fate. Diving into the revolutionary VR game New World, Elliot makes a bold choice: he selects the rare hidden class—Shady Tycoon.

This isn’t a class for heroes or warriors. A Shady Tycoon cannot attack or learn combat skills, relying solely on hired bodyguards for protection. His passive abilities grant him economic advantages, such as tax-free trading, a portable stall system, and double inventory space, but it’s his wit and cunning that make this class truly shine. By manipulating resources, exploiting loopholes, and controlling the in-game economy, Elliot turns his perceived weakness into a money-printing empire.

With the clock ticking, Elliot’s goal is ambitious—earning $500,000 in just seven days to save his mother’s life. From buying “useless” beginner items to flipping the game’s economy on its head, his unorthodox approach sends ripples through New World. Top guilds, legendary players, and even billionaires are drawn into his web of gold coins and brilliant schemes.

But his limitations create endless opportunities for creativity and chaos. As a non-combatant class, every encounter forces Elliot to outsmart his rivals, negotiate with his enemies, and rely on his summoned bodyguards in ingenious ways. His strategies are as ruthless as they are ingenious, earning him the reputation of the most infamous tycoon in the game.

“In New World, I don’t just follow the rules—I write them. And the one rule that matters? Money is everything.”

Join Elliot as he rises from nothing to dominate the virtual and real worlds alike, proving that even in a game of heroes, the smartest merchant can be king.
