I Became A Billionaire Overnight
It took just a few seconds and his dashboard was displayed on the screen of his laptop, showing the summary:
Balance: 50 Nova coins
Current price: $800,000,000 per coin
Underneath, it showed an option:
Convert Nova to USD – Total Value Available To Withdraw: $40,000,000,000
Ryan’s eyes widened. He leaned forward, staring hard to make sure he wasn’t seeing things.
Total Value: Forty billion dollars.
He clicked Convert to USD.
A small spinning circle appeared on the screen. Then all of sudden, it showed up a notification on the screen.
Transaction Successful.
His screen refreshed, and the number appeared in green:
Available Balance: $40,000,000,000.00
Ryan let out a cold loud breath. He couldn’t believe it, his eyes blurred out in shock. The money was real. Sitting in his Nova wallet. Forty billion dollars for someone who had never even held five thousand dollars in his account before.
He laughed before he could control himself. A broken, breathy laugh. He was still sitting on a cracked chair, in a small room, with nothing but a broken, crappy laptop, and yet, in at that moment, he was one of the richest people on earth.

Chapter: Chapter 16Julian’s leg was still raised high, ready to smash the laptop, when suddenly Ryan moved fast. He moved So fast that Julian couldn’t even process it.The next thing Julian knew, he was no longer standing. He was sitting on the ground, stunned, like a confused child who had slipped on water. He blinked, trying to understand what had just happened. Ryan now stood over the laptop calmly after pushing Julian to the floor.Julian’s mouth opened, but nothing came out.“You don’t get to touch my belongings,” Ryan said to Julian, his eyes growing cold and turning a bit reddish.He slowly bent down to pick up the laptop—his fingers just inches from it—when he heard it.Crack!A sharp sound like bones snapping. His heart froze instantly and his hand stopped reaching for the laptop.He didn’t even need to look. The sound alone told him something had gone wrong.Slowly, Ryan stood up straight. His eyes trailed upward, seeing glossy leather of a a female shoe, pressing hard on the laptop.Standing

Chapter: Chapter 15In that very moment, Julian’s eyes shifted and caught sight of someone standing at the gate.It was Ryan standing Frozen.Julian slowly lowered his raised leg and stepped back from the laptop, his eyes narrowing into a glare full of hate.“The Riffraff,” he said, pointing toward the gate, “look who finally showed up to gather the rags he calls clothes.”Elizabeth turned, following Julian’s gaze. When she saw Ryan walking through the gate, her face twisted into the usual icy appearance.“There won’t be any rags left to gather this time,” she said coldly. “Not when he came late.”Ryan said nothing as he approached slowly, his eyes darting between them—Elizabeth with the lighter still in her hand, and Julian standing next to the laptop like he would step on it the next moment.Inside her heart, Elizabeth was boiling. Her plan the night before had gone completely wrong. She had wanted to embarrass Ryan in front of everyone—at the engagement party, in front of her esteemed guests, and on s

Chapter: Chapter 14Matthew threw a wink at Ryan and stepped hard on the gas pedal. The Nissan roared as it dashed away, disappearing down the road in seconds. A trail of laughter echoed from the car as it sped off.“Jessica…” Ryan muttered as his jaw clenched.Ryan stood still for a few moments, his soaked pants clinging tightly to his legs, his fists clenched at his sides. Mud dripped slowly from the hem of his jeans onto the sidewalk. Strangers passed by, stealing quick glances at him. A few looked away awkwardly. Others whispered and laughed behind their hands.Feeling the stares growing too heavy, Ryan blinked himself out of the daze and slowly started walking. His legs felt heavier with each step, but he kept moving.“Maybe you didn’t regret it in 5 years, Jessica… but you will,” Ryan muttered as he knew he wouldn’t let this pass.By the time he reached the bus stop, the bus was already there, passengers were rushing to get in. He stepped in quietly, ignoring the glances from the few passengers ins

Chapter: Chapter 13Ryan sprang out of bed, his heart thudding in his chest as the sharp vibration of his phone woke him up from sleep. His hand trembled slightly as he grabbed the phone from the side drawer. The screen glowed with the caller ID Dr. Jerry.Without thinking, he answered.“Hello? Doctor?” Ryan's voice cracked slightly, he was becoming anxious. “Is…Is something wrong? Is it… is it my mom?”There was a pause, just a second or two but it felt like forever to Ryan as his minds wandered to very negative thoughts about his mother.All of a sudden, a cheerful chuckle came from the other end of the line.“Calm down, Mr. Walker. It’s good news,” Dr. Jerry said, his voice sounding warm and reassuring. “The surgery was successful. Your mother made it. She’s going to live.”Ryan gasped loudly, his chest rising and falling as he shut his eyes for a second. He slowly sank onto the edge of his bed, one hand over his heart. Relief hit him hard, almost making him dizzy. The tension that had been choking hi

Chapter: Chapter 12The ride to Central Town was smooth and fast.Ryan sat in the backseat, eyes fixed on the road ahead, trying to process how his life had become. From being humiliated in front of dozens of guests, divorced by the woman he once called his wife, to now—headed toward a home he had never even dreamed of living in.But nothing could have prepared him for what appeared in front of him.His eyes widened.His lips parted slightly, unable to hide the shock as the mansion’s gates slowly came into view. Even from within the car, Ryan could tell this was no ordinary residence.The Nova emblem, designed in the shape of a crypto coin with a bold N, was carved into the center of the gate like a royal crest.“Is this… real?” Ryan murmured under his breath.In front of him in the driver seat, Ms. Claudia smiled gently, as if she had been waiting for that question.“This estate was built by Nova Inc. to be completely off-limits to the public,” she said smoothly. “Only the CEO and his selected personnel

Chapter: Chapter 11Elizabeth’s eyes widened in horror. What did she just hear??For the first time that night, she was speechless. Her lips parted slightly, but no words came out. She had no idea what the man was trying to pass across.The hall owner’s voice still echoed in her ears as he repeated himself once more to make sure everyone heard him properly.“The venue is no longer available for your event. The hall has just been purchased…”She turned sharply toward the man in the formal suit, her heels clicking furiously on the floor as she walked up to him. “What do you mean it’s no longer available?” she snapped. “I transferred three hundred thousand dollars to you to rent this place for tonight. How dare you show up halfway into the event and tell me to evacuate?”The manager held up both hands calmly. “I understand your frustration, Miss McCarthy. But the situation has changed. Things were no longer as it seemed as at the time I agreed to rent it out to you, now I have to follow the request of the n
