It started with a rumor.
> "Ren Kaito's finally bored of quiet girls. He's going after the Queen now."
No one laughed.
Because by now, everyone knew—if Ren wanted something, it became real.
Even if it sounded like a joke. Especially if it did.

10:00 AM – Arrival Like a God
The college parking lot roared to life as three exotic cars pulled in—
A Bugatti Tourbillon,
A Porsche GT3 RS,
And a Ferrari Monza SP2—each one customized, matte black with gold trim.
Ren Kaito stepped out of the Bugatti with a slow stretch, wearing a silk shirt unbuttoned just low enough to tease. His wrist glittered with a new ¥50 million Richard Mille, and his shoes cost more than half the campus's tuition.
Phones came out instantly.
> "He's here again."
"Didn't he spend ¥30 million yesterday on sushi?"
"Look! He has a girl on each side!"
He did.
Miyako, now his loyal companion, and Sakura, the daughter of a rich real estate tycoon who had fallen hard after one dinner and a helicopter ride.
They didn't walk with him. They followed. Like shadows. Like proof.
And yet… today, his eyes were somewhere else.

11:00 AM – Target: Queen Reina
Reina Tsukihime.
The college goddess.
Smart, cold, elegant. Rich enough to ignore everyone.
No man had ever touched her hand.
Her fans—boys and girls—called her "The White Lotus."
She wore a snow-colored designer dress and sat beneath the sakura tree in the campus garden, surrounded by her entourage. She didn't glance at Ren.
Until he spoke.
> "You're in the wrong seat."
She raised an eyebrow. "Excuse me?"
Ren sat beside her without permission, leaning back with arrogant ease.
> "That tree was grown using my donation. You're sitting in my shade."
Reina smirked. "Is that your idea of flirting?"
He didn't answer.
Instead, he pulled out a black card. Not a credit card. Not even a Centurion.
It was a Sovereign Tier Auction Card—the kind used only in forbidden underground auctions for priceless artifacts.
> "I'll pay you ¥100 million right now. Be my assistant for the week."
Everyone gasped.
"Is this a joke?" Reina scoffed. "Do you think I'm for sale?"
He snapped his fingers.
A briefcase fell at her feet.
Opened. Stacks of crisp yen. Each with a platinum seal.
> "It's not a request. I'm buying your image."
Her friends protested. Her fans stepped in.
Ren stood, brushing off his sleeve like dirt.
> "Reina. Either kneel and serve me coffee every morning this week… or I'll buy your family's debt."
That hit her.
No one was supposed to know about that.
A quiet issue in her father's company. Covered well.
But Ren's System whispered all.
> [Rumor forming: "Ren is so rich he buys people's lives for fun."]
[Status: Activating...]
Reina froze.
For the first time in years, she felt something like fear.
And heat.

11:10 AM – Queen No More
She stood.
Walked behind Ren.
And whispered, "...How do you take your coffee?"
---
2:00 PM – Show Off King
The café was silent as Reina—wearing a new uniform—served Ren coffee at his private table. He sat with legs crossed, sunglasses on indoors, and three girls around him.
> "Loud today, Reina. Did you forget how to kneel?"
She clenched her fists—but obeyed.
He didn't ask her to strip. He didn't touch her.
But the humiliation of serving was worse.
And for some reason…
She felt addicted to it.
> [Rumor complete: "Ren Kaito turned the untouchable Queen into a servant."]
[Reward: 'Royal Aura' passive acquired. Women with pride take longer to resist influence.]

5:00 PM – Rich Boy Ritual
After class, Ren didn't return to his penthouse.
He rented out Tokyo's entire Sky Garden for the evening.
Champagne rained. Drones played music. Models arrived from overseas.
Three new girls kissed him on the cheek. Reina served every one.
He danced once—with Miyako.
Then twice—with Sakura.
But on the third round, he looked at Reina.
"Come here."
She hesitated. Then obeyed.
He wrapped his arm around her waist, holding her close, and whispered:
> "This is what money does, Reina. And I'm not even spending yet."

10:00 PM – Nightfall at the Forbidden Island
On his private tablet, new updates came in.
His Phantom Soldiers now numbered 32.
A new sniper unit had joined.
They had installed turrets, anti-air weapons, and a research lab.
All because someone joked that "Ren Kaito has a base preparing for war."
He chuckled, sipping whisky.
Tomorrow, they'd say he has an elite hacker who can crash banks.
And so he will.
