The Power of +1 [Progression Fantasy, LitRPG about Money]

coffeetimewriting
Theo Sterling, a ruthlessly ambitious corporate climber, is violently ejected from his career and finds himself facing the poverty he desperately fears. With only $2,000 between him and the streets, a mysterious mental breakdown leaves him with an impossible gift, the power to grant any object a permanent "+1" enhancement. Driven by his gnawing terror of failure, Theo begins methodically exploiting his unique ability, with the aim of becoming a billionaire. From enhancing basic knives for quick cash (and cutting ethical corners when necessary), to optimizing high-value bicycles for substantial profit, he relentlessly seeks ways to maximize the return on each precious enhancement. Navigating a mundane world with his special power, Theo readily pushes ethics aside, believing ruthlessness is the only path to the almighty profit. As he dives headfirst into more questionable and morally grey endeavours, his bank account swells, but does this solitary climb built on calculated risks lead only to an isolating peak? Or is there a heavier, unseen cost to Theo’s singular pursuit of money? What to Expect: - Money, lots of it, it's all about money! - Progression Fantasy, tracking Theo's path to becoming a billionaire, or die trying - Low fantasy, ability to enhance items with +1, and the ingenious ways of using this to make money - LitRPG used to track profit and losses using a ledger, the measure of wealth and success - Ethics and Morals... nah not really. Theo is as grey as it gets. May come into play later, but only after getting rich, ridiculously rich - 4-5k words per chapter (or more sometimes) Schedule - Daily release (1.5-2k words). Bigger chapters will be split over multiple days. Patreon - story is posted on Patreon, will be minimum 1 month ahead https://www.patreon.com/coffeetimewriting

Soul Land: Raiden Shogun Is My Martial Soul

In a world where martial spirits decide everything, the protagonist lucks out with one of the strongest—Raiden Shogun. But he’s not some noble hero or selfless warrior. Nope, he’s all about himself and his clan. With a powerful spirit and knowledge of what’s coming in the future, he plays the game for his own benefit, building his clan’s name and making sure he’s living the good life. He’s got the power to crush enemies and the smarts to stay ahead of everyone, but there’s one thing he can’t quite handle—cooking. Whether it’s burning rice or making a mess, it’s always chaos in the kitchen. Still, he turns even that into an advantage, using it to win people over or manipulate them when it suits him. Love, loyalty, and all that sentimental stuff? For him, it’s just part of the game. As long as it gets him closer to the life he wants, he’s all in. After all, why struggle when you’ve got the power to make the world bend to your will? ================================================================ Unlock the World of Stories with Early Access on Patreon!
