Becoming a God Through Consumption

Humiliated, broke, and dumped by his materialistic girlfriend for a trust fund rival, intern Leo Vance hits rock bottom in the most expensive way possible. But in his darkest hour, as he pays for a dinner he can't afford, a mysterious System awakens in his mind. Its rule is simple: Spend to Ascend. Every dollar he spends, from a spiteful bottle of vintage wine to a multi-million-dollar hypercar, returns to him multiplied—sometimes ten, sometimes a hundred, sometimes a thousand-fold. Armed with limitless cash, Leo begins a ruthless climb from the ashes of his old life. He’s no longer just buying luxury; he's buying power. With each "Keystone Purchase," he unlocks impossible new abilities—the eye of an architect, the mind of a market visionary, the skills of a kingmaker. From a powerless intern trampled by New York's elite to an enigmatic titan pulling the strings, he tears down the empires of those who wronged him, one extravagant purchase at a time.
