Ryan is climbing at this point, which is when Gael fires him without warning. He works his way back from that, turning the traps around one at a time, through the intrigue inside the group.

The system gives him three days. Inside that window he turns to Vera Castro, the woman he had wanted for years, and the cashbacks the system pays him carry him up to the top of the wealth rankings. The people who humiliated him come back with apologies. Alex does not turn around.

No More Ms. Nice Landlord!Jack Everett got the tenants of Neighborly Haven organized. The rent was far under what the place was worth, the canteen cost them almost nothing and the gym was free, and after long enough they took all of it as owed to them. The landlord was Claire Holden. She had put everything she had into the building to keep a promise to the woman who raised her at the orphanage, and she filled it with people the city had no other room for. Around the neighborhood she was the angel landlord.
The tenants went after her together, with some of the complaints made up, and the thing ended in court. Claire went bankrupt over it and came out of the case with a name as a landlord with no heart. The hearings and settlements also turned up the illegal business Jack Everett and Austin Brooks had going.
Claire emptied Neighborly Haven out. She stopped handing anything over for free, and she turned the building into the hotel she had wanted to run in the first place. A number of the tenants who had signed against her asked to come back.
The Chip and the ChainsBio-chip implantation is still at the experimental stage, and the people who volunteer for it are the ones with nothing left. Gavin was one of them. He had gone bankrupt and then been in a car crash, and he agreed to the implant in that state, assuming the experiment would fail and kill him.
It did not kill him. He woke a thousand years in the past, in the body of a prisoner under sentence of death for a crime he had not committed. The chip is in his head and it carries knowledge from his own time, which is all he has in a world of crises stacked one on top of another and an axe already prepared for him.
Failing RichlyThe press treats him as a useless second-generation heir, the investors look down on him, and the whole world has decided he is a rich boy who does nothing but destroy things. That is the reputation attached to the heir of the Millélys Group, who breaks antique porcelain and rents out entire islands for parties.
Each piece of waste is an operation worth billions. Smashing the vase triggers the insurance leverage on the antiquities. Booking off a stretch of island for a birthday puts him in position to build the world's first data centre out at sea, away from regulators. The louder the mockery gets, the better the cover works, and public opinion and capital both end up as pieces on his board.
Sass Meets SuitElara Hayes has been up all night rehearsing a weak, long-suffering heroine. She slips in the bathtub, is electrocuted, and comes round inside the script as that heroine. She keeps her own temper and her own century's manners, so the meek part does not survive contact with her. She is married for show to Lucian Drake, who runs a corporation and is a target of the schemes around him, and the two of them argue every day, with a younger sister, a grasping brother-in-law and toxic parents adding to it. The arguing turns into something else.
Just as it is heading for a happy ending, her stepmother stabs her. Whether she can get back to her own life, and what becomes of her and Lucian, is left open.
Bad Guy Buff ActivatedTrevor built New World, a simulation game meant to be more realistic than anything on the market. On the first day of the beta he planned to lead the human faction against the demons. A bug reversed his healing spells instead, and the reversed spells wiped out his entire team. The same bug locked him inside the game, on the demon side, where the players he built the game for now count him as the boss they have come to kill.
His passive skill stays broken, turning every spell he casts into its opposite. His old business partner, still outside, has access to the servers and uses them to try to kill him at a distance. Guilds arrive in waves to invade Izera. A demon queen offers him a second profile, and an angel swordswoman cannot decide whether to save him or finish him. Trevor works the faults in his own code, the hidden achievements and the badly built dungeons, because they are the only advantage he has left.
