Ascension of the Wealth King
Ethan Ward was a nobody—a broke data clerk in the gritty city of Calverton, Solvara, on the planet Aetheris, scraping by on crumbs while the world kicked him down. Betrayed by bosses, abandoned by friends, and drowning in debt, he was ready to give up—until a freak lightning strike changed everything. Enter the Galactic Ascension System, an alien force that crash-lands into his life, granting him the power to multiply his wealth, unlock futuristic tech, and claim rewards beyond imagination: luxury cars, company shares, and blueprints that could reshape the world.
From a measly paycheck exploding tenfold to driving an Astellon Vantage worth six figures, Ethan’s ascent begins with a single task—and a promise of more. But wealth comes with a price. Mysterious figures like the sharp-suited Vincent watch from the shadows, hinting at others who crave the system’s gifts. As Ethan flexes his newfound riches—humbling doubters, outsmarting rivals, and building an empire from nothing—he uncovers a web of secrets tying the system to forces far beyond Aetheris.
In a city of glitz and grit, where drones hum above docks and skyscrapers pierce the sky, Ethan’s journey is just starting. Armed with cash, charisma, and cosmic power, he’ll slap down every foe, seize every opportunity, and rise from the ashes of his old life to claim the throne of a Wealth King. But with every reward, the stakes climb higher—and the galaxy’s eyes are watching. Will Ethan conquer Calverton and beyond, or will the system’s true cost drag him back to nothing?
