Chapter 68: Chapter 67: Legendary Stuff

Rex collapsed onto the bed with a soft thud, his muscles relaxing into the cool sheets. The room was dim, save for the soft glow of the system interface hovering silently in front of him. Outside, Los Angeles shimmered beneath the night sky, city lights flickering like stars that had descended to Earth.

But none of that mattered right now.

"Alright," he muttered, eyes drifting toward the glowing system window still hovering before him. "Let’s see what all the fuss is about."

He let out a breath and sat up slightly, dragging the system interface closer.

[Stock Forecast Module Unlocked]

[Analyzing stock market...]

[Forecast complete.]

[Target: Trivaxa Pharmaceuticals (TRX)]

[Forecast Period: 10 Days]

[Live Visualization Enabled]

A smooth graph bloomed across the screen—minimalist, clean, glowing softly in shades of blue and green. Nothing flashy. Just raw data.

Rex blinked at it. The stock looked... dead.

At first glance, it looked unimpressive. The price was almost flat. A bit of noise here and there—tiny trades, little movement.

Just a few ticks up and down like it was on life support.

There was nothing that screamed "money." For a moment, he thought the system had trolled him.

"Seriously? This is the big opportunity?" he muttered.

He looked at it carefully, starting from today, day 1.

Same flatline without any movement.

It remained the same until day 5.

Then day 6 arrived.

Nothing changed in the price—but something was happening beneath the surface. The volume. It suddenly surged. Huge amounts of shares were being bought, but oddly, the price barely moved. The system annotated it with small text:

[Anomalous Accumulation Detected – Institutional Behavior Suspected]

Day 7 repeated the pattern—silent, calculated accumulation. And then—

Day 8.

Boom.

The screen flashed as the chart spiked, vertical.

Nexora dropped a press release that set the financial world ablaze:

A newly developed, clinically proven weight-loss drug. Safe, effective, with no major side effects. Regulatory approval almost secured. Backed by a billionaire investor. Global distribution already mapped, just waiting for final approval.

[News Event: Breakthrough Drug Announcement – Trivaxa Pharmaceuticals]

The news hit like a bombshell.

The stock immediately surged. Trading halted multiple times as it hit circuit breakers. Influencers, health gurus, and finance channels were already frothing at the mouth. "Revolutionary," they called it. "The future of health," others claimed.

By day 9, the headlines had gone global.

Rex leaned in, heart pounding as the chart screamed upward.

He read it again. And again.

Day 10:

Another spike. Non-stop buys. People begging to get in. #TrivaxaMiracle was trending.

That’s where the system data ended.

Rex scrolled forward, but the chart grayed out.

[Forecast Limit Reached – 10-Day Window Expired]

He leaned back, heartbeat quickening.

He read it again. And again.

This wasn’t speculation. It wasn’t a guess. It was precision.

"Buy before day 8," he whispered. "Sell on day 10..."

He could feel it in his bones. This was a goldmine. Not theoretical. Not maybe. It was certain. The kind of certainty no one in the market ever had.

And he had it.

His fingers trembled slightly as he quickly opened a new browser tab, while quickly taking Aeon glasses from the system warehouse.

"How to buy stocks as a beginner."

Search. Click. Scroll.

"I just need to understand the map," he muttered. "The treasure’s already marked."

He skimmed through terms that read like another language—limit order, bid/ask spread, IPO, ETF, leverage, volatility. It was overwhelming. His brain drank in every word. The fog would clear. He just had to keep moving.

Time slipped by unnoticed. The world outside faded. Only the soft glow of the screen, the occasional muttered "Ohh, that’s what that means," and the hum of his own focus remained.

As he dove deeper.

Video: "How I made $10K with one trade"

Blog: "Top mistakes beginner traders make"

Forum post: "Avoiding FOMO and exit timing"

He read, watched, and absorbed. Time continued to slip by. The city outside grew quieter and quieter. All he heard now was the hum of crickets, the occasional sound of cars, and his own voice murmuring, "Ohh... so that’s what market order means..."

Then—

Ding!

A soft chime echoed. The system interface pulsed.

[Daily Sign-In Reward Available]

He blinked, rubbing his eyes. Midnight already?

Without further ado,

He tapped the glowing icon.

[Congratulations! You’ve received: BBQ Seasoning Packet]

System Note: Very delicious. Goes well with ribs!

Rex snorted, already expecting something like this.

"...Seriously?" Rex stared, deadpan. "Yeah, nothing says future billionaire like... spice packets."

He tossed the packet into the system warehouse without a second thought. It didn’t matter.

Because something else had changed.

A new icon... golden, shimmering... had lit up on the system mall icon. At the very top left.

He tapped it.

A new screen slid into view.

At the top of the system mall—a single slot had lit up.

Golden. Glowing. Unlike the rest of the grayed-out items.

[Phantom Contract – $1]

His brows furrowed. One dollar?

Curious, he tapped for more info.

[Phantom Contract – First-Time Purchase Offer]Note: This is a one-time-only exclusive offer to first-time buyer of the System Mall.

Seeing this he was bit surprised, especially the ridiculous price of $1, there wasn’t any reason to dawdle anymore, so he immediately clicked purchased.

Within seconds, transaction went through.

The interface immediately shifted, and a golden piece of paper came into view.

[Congratulation, you have received]

[Phantom Contract]

[Rarity: Legendary]

[Type: System-Authorized Ownership Contract]

[Status: One-Time Use]

Description:

A high-tier system artifact that initiates a complete, lawful transfer of ownership for the specified real-world asset. Upon signature, the system activates a secure and undetectable backend process, utilizing advanced proxies, legal firms, and legitimate channels to register the asset under the Host’s name—fully legal, transparent on paper, and beyond dispute.

System Execution Includes:

Title deed registration and notarization.

Payment or acquisition records through verified shell holdings.

Tax compliance and local authority notification.

All documents routed through system-aligned legal entities.

Optional anonymity or full disclosure, based on Host’s preference.

Transfer Timeframe:

Estimated: 15–30 days, during which the system-appointed Executor will manage, restore, or prepare the asset for takeover.

Upon completion, official ownership and operational control are handed over to the Host.

[Host, the "Phantom Contract" will grant you full ownership of the random asset. This ownership is not only legal but fully recognized within all real-world jurisdictions. No loopholes, no hidden clauses. Once signed, the asset will become yours.]

"What!?..." He was shocked. He didn’t expect that other than spices and noodles, the system could give out something... something magical like this.
