Chapter 1: "Starting from Zero"

In one of the poorest neighborhoods in the heart of Casablanca, there lived a young boy named Younes. Orphaned at a young age, Younes grew up alone in a small shack on the outskirts of the city. He had little to his name—only faint memories of his parents and a few belongings they left behind: an old, worn-out watch, a tattered book about adventures, and a small, hand-drawn map with strange writing he couldn't understand.

Younes worked tirelessly at a tiny café, earning just enough to survive. Life wasn't easy, but he never complained. Deep down, Younes was different from those around him. Despite his difficult circumstances, he had a sharp mind and an unquenchable thirst for something greater.

Every evening, after finishing his shift at the café, Younes would head to the local library—a small, quiet place where he'd lose himself in books. His favorite stories were about self-made men who built their empires from nothing. These stories filled him with hope, the belief that, no matter how far-fetched it seemed, he too could change his life if given the chance.

One fateful day, as Younes wiped down tables at the café, a stranger walked in. The man was dressed in fine clothes, but something about him seemed off—his eyes were weary, as if he carried the weight of many untold secrets. He sat in the corner, watching Younes for a few moments before raising his hand.

Curiosity piqued, Younes approached to take the man's order. The stranger smiled faintly and said, "I see something different in you, boy. Tell me, where do you see yourself in ten years?"

Taken aback by the question, Younes hesitated before replying, "I don't know... But I dream of being someone who changes his fate, someone who becomes the richest man in the world."

The man's smile widened, but his eyes gleamed with a mysterious intensity. Reaching into his pocket, he pulled out an old coin that shimmered with an odd glow. He placed it gently on the table before Younes and said, "This is no ordinary coin. It's a key to a world beyond your imagination. But you must choose: will you remain here, living the life you've always known, or will you risk everything for a chance at greatness?"

Younes stared at the coin, unsure of what to think. It radiated a strange energy, one that both frightened and intrigued him. His heart raced as thoughts of fear and hope battled in his mind. Could this really be the opportunity he had been waiting for all his life?

Taking a deep breath, Younes made his decision.
