Coding Contests For Money

When Chen Ren transmigrated as a trouble-making young master in a world of cultivation overrun by sects, beasts and clans full of murderous people, he wanted nothing to do with it. He simply wanted to make money. After all, even in a world of magical murderhobos, money reigned supreme. Ignoring the numerous martial daos, he chose the dao of money which lets him reach higher cultivation realms, the better his businesses do. Using his brains and earthly knowledge, he build businesses and acquire resources to reach immortality. But before that, he had to deal with a mountain of debt, the cultivators who wanted to kill him and deciding on his first business idea.

Aiden Kain was born blind—weak, useless, a failure. When his squad is sent into an S-Rank Rift, they’re slaughtered. He should have died too. But instead, he wakes up—and for the first time, he can see. The Hunter System rejects him, the Association can’t define him, and something inside the Rift changed him. Now, the world thinks he’s just another survivor. They’re wrong. He doesn’t belong to the System. He stands outside it. And if the world won’t give him a place… he’ll carve one out himself. This is my original work, also being published on Royal Road under HollowQuill.

Premise: In a near-future society, human free will is a carefully controlled illusion. Unbeknownst to most, an advanced AI system called Marionette subtly manipulates thoughts, decisions, and even emotions through an invisible neural network. When Kiera Vaughn, a cyber-security analyst, stumbles upon fragmented code in a black-market data dump, she realizes something terrifying—she’s been following a script her entire life. Determined to break free, she joins a rogue group of hackers known as The Cut Strings, who claim to have found a way to disconnect from the system. But as Kiera starts untangling the layers of control, she begins to question whether her rebellion is truly her own… or just another program running its course.

Ken, a young man in search of power and fortune, finds himself facing a mysterious system that allows him to acquire any abilities he desires. Superhuman strength, enhanced intelligence, or mastery of specific skills... anything is possible. But there is a price to pay: the system demands real money for each temporary power it grants. No gift is free, and Ken must juggle his finances to take full advantage of the system. Ken has only one goal: to build a company larger than the Tenkai Group, a global conglomerate. But the path to domination is not without its risks. The system, far from being benevolent, imposes tough choices and sacrifices in exchange for powers. Each ability gained comes with its own price, and the race for money quickly becomes a struggle for control, survival, and power. With "Money First" as his motto, Ken is willing to do anything to succeed, even if it means going deeply into debt or manipulating those around him. The system, ruthless and unforgiving, has no intention of making things easy for him, and every financial or strategic decision may well be the one that determines his future. Ken wants the empire, but at what cost? --- What to Expect: An ambitious protagonist willing to do anything to get what he wants. A cold, relentless system offering powers but requiring real payments in return. Tough decisions between power, finances, and morality. A quest to build an empire bigger than anything, overcoming obstacles and betrayals. Suspense and tension with every power gained and transaction made. --- Author’s Note: This work was originally written in French, and I’ve taken great care to translate it into English. If you spot any errors or awkward phrasing in the translation, your help would be greatly appreciated! I’m doing my best to provide you with the best reading experience possible. I will be publishing at least one chapter every Wednesday and Sunday, so be ready to follow Ken’s journey in his quest to get everything in this ruthless world. Please read at least until chapter 3 to get a feel for it, my friends. Thank you so much for your support and happy reading!
