The hours dragged by slowly, and Alex felt as if time had decided to torture him. He sat on his bed, glancing at his phone every so often, opening the trading app to check if XYZ Corp stock had started moving. But so far, there had been no change.
Anxiety crept into his chest. What if this was all a scam? What if this app was just a clever psychological game, and he had lost five thousand dollars he might need in this new world?
Suddenly, he stood up and began pacing the room, trying to convince himself that he wouldn't lose everything, even if the prediction was wrong. But he knew it wasn't that simple. He had nothing in this new world except for the money, and if he lost it, he would have nothing to fall back on.
He sighed deeply and looked at his phone again.
He opened the Millionaire Code app and stared at its sleek interface. The features that had appeared hours ago were still there, tempting him impossibly.
But this time, something else caught his attention...
"Points Balance: 1000 Points."
He raised an eyebrow. That wasn't there before.
He pressed the "Points" icon, and a detailed explanation appeared:
"You earn points by using the app wisely. Points can be exchanged for additional benefits or upgrades to the app's capabilities."
Below that, a list of items available for exchange appeared:
1. Expanded Economic Vision – 5000 Points
2. Advanced People Analysis – 3000 Points
3. Complete Digital Protection – 2000 Points
4. Enhanced Event Predictions – 4000 Points
He stared at the list in confusion. If he could gather more points, he could access even more powerful features. But how could he earn more points?
Suddenly, a new notification appeared:
"Daily Tasks: Earn 200 points by completing one task!"
He clicked on the notification and found a list of available tasks. The first one was simple:
"Verify one of the app's predictions."
He smiled bitterly. This was exactly what he had been trying to do.
But before he could think further, his phone rang with a new notification, but this time, it wasn't from the app... it was from the trading app.
"XYZ Corp stock has risen by 12.3% in the past few hours!"
His eyes froze on the screen, unable to believe what he was seeing.
He quickly opened the trading app, and his eyes widened as he saw the number in front of him. It had happened exactly as the app had predicted. The stock had risen, and his account now held over $5,600.
"Impossible…"
His heart raced, and his hand trembled as he swiped across the screen, almost as if he needed to double-check that he wasn't dreaming.
But this wasn't a dream. It was real.
"It was true… the app was right."
He sat down slowly, taking a deep breath as he tried to process what had just happened. In just a few hours, he had earned $600 without lifting a finger.
But this meant something much bigger...
If the app could predict market movements with such accuracy, what was stopping him from using it to make millions?
A shiver ran down his spine. This wasn't just a financial tool. This was a weapon.
But as the thought hit him, another, more terrifying thought followed:
If this app was that powerful… who made it? And why did they give it to him?
He needed answers.
But first, he had to seize the opportunity in front of him.
More experiments.
He closed the trading app and returned to The Millionaire Code.
He opened the prediction list, finding several other stocks predicted to rise in the coming days.
He decided to try another investment, but this time, with a larger amount.
"If this is real, I might as well take full advantage of it."
He took half of his profits and invested it in another stock suggested by the app, then sat back, waiting.
But this time, he didn't just want to wait. He wanted to learn more about the app itself.
He returned to the main screen, where he found an option he hadn't noticed before:
"History and Updates."
He clicked it, expecting to see a regular release log, but what he found was something entirely different.
Instead of a typical update list, a strange log appeared, filled with unfamiliar numbers and names.
"Version 1.0 – First User: Unknown"
"Version 1.1 – Second User: Data Deleted"
"Version 2.0 – Third User: Tracked"
"Version 2.5 – Current User: Alex Carter"
He held his breath.
The first user... Unknown? The second user... Data Deleted? The third user... Tracked?
What did this mean? Who were these users?
Before he could think further, a new notification appeared, but this time, it was unlike the previous ones.
It was a warning.
"Alert: Unauthorized attempt to access app data detected. Please refrain from exploring restricted information."
His eyes widened.
Does... does the app monitor him?
He quickly closed the screen, his heart pounding. He had to be cautious.
But this confirmed one thing...
This app wasn't ordinary.
And someone was watching every move he made.
Slowly, he stood up, looking at his phone as though it were a bomb in his hands.
He had thought at first that this was just a mysterious tool to help him get rich, but now he was beginning to understand the terrifying truth:
He had entered a game far bigger than he had ever imagined... and now, there was no turning back.
