(Supreme Godly Money System, Book 1)
Mornings smelled of wet dust, tea, and fresh ambition in Mumbai.
Agastya awoke before dawn, which he hadn't done since college. His phone screen glowed softly beside him:
[Daily Task Reminder]
Jog 2 km before the sunrise. Reward: ₹50,000 + Multiplier ×1.5 if done early.
The sky outside was still a shade of purple. The rain had stopped, leaving the streets slick and silent. He stretched, then cracked his neck, chuckling.
"Alright, System, let's earn fifty grand.
His breath came in misty bursts as he jogged along the empty road. The city hadn't yet awakened, and the only sounds were distant train horns and his own footsteps.
Halfway through, his legs began to ache—but that same golden warmth pulsed through his veins again. It wasn't adrenaline; it was… divine.
[Distance reached: 1.6 km]
[Optimal Heart Rate. Stamina increased by +1.]
[Motivational Bonus Activated.]
He pushed harder, the skyline of glass towers glittering faintly ahead. The first orange light of morning broke, and his phone chimed:
[Task Completed Successfully.]
[Reward Dispensed: ₹50,000 × 1.5 = ₹75,000.]
[Total Balance: ₹1,75,143.25]
Agastya, panting, laughed like a madman. "One lakh seventy-five thousand… in two days. What kind of miracle is this?"
The system responded in that calm, confident voice he was starting to enjoy:
[Miracle? No. Compensation. The world owes you, Agastya Shastri.]
System Upgrade
Back home for a long shower and a breakfast of poha and cutting chai, a new notification appeared.
[System Level Up: 2 → 3.]
[New Feature Unlocked: Market Access.
You may be given monetary returns as digital assets, company shares, or direct stakes in property.
Agastya almost let the phone fall. "Wait—you mean I can get shares now?"
[Affirmative. Today's mission will determine your first investment bonus.
A new window popped open, glowing in gold:
Special Mission: Do an act of selfless courage before midnight.
Prize: Random Stock Portfolio (Market Value: ₹5,00,000 – ₹10,00,000) + Cash ₹1,00,000.
[Reward Multiplier Active: ×2.]
"Selfless act of courage…" Agastya murmured. "Mumbai traffic, here I come."
By afternoon, the city had reverted to bedlam. Agastya went to collect a parcel from his ex-office—he wanted closure.
There was a crowd outside the courier agency. Two men, wearing crumpled shirts, were pushing a boy who sold tea. His cart had bumped into their car.
One of them yelled, his hand raised, "Arrey chotu! Who told you to park here? You scratched my Swift!"
Agastya didn't think. He stepped between them. "Hey! He's just a kid. You want him to pay for your ego or your car?"
The man sneered. "And who the hell are you?"
"The guy who'll stop you from acting like a cartoon in public."
The crowd gasped. The man grabbed Agastya's collar, and instinctively, he pushed him back—stronger than he had intended. The man stumbled into a puddle and splashed dirty water all over his own shirt.
The other one drew back.
Agastya turned to the tea-boy who was trembling. "You okay, Chotu?
The boy nodded, his eyes wide. "Bhaiya… thank you."
Before Agastya could respond, his phone buzzed again:
Mission Accomplished.
Ex Gratia Award: ₹1,00,000 Cash + Random Stock Package (Market Value ₹9,60,000).
Multiplier ×2 Applied → Total Value: ₹21,20,000.
[New Asset Added: 0.8% Ownership in Orion Tech Industries Pvt. Ltd.
Agastya froze. "Wait—what? Orion Tech? That's one of India's top AI companies!"
[Congratulations, you are now a verified shareholder.
He stood in stunned silence as the crowd dispersed, that one push having made him a minor investor in a multimillion-dollar company.
Two days later, Orion Tech was making headlines. Their new AI assistant-"NayanAI"-went viral overnight; investors flooded in, and the stock price went through the roof, exploding 300%.
Agastya checked the system screen:
[Asset Update: Orion Tech shares value = ₹84,50,000.
[Total Net Worth: ₹86,25,143.25.]
He sat back in his chair, staring at the numbers, grinning like a madman.
[System Notification: First Million Achieved.]
[Special Reward: Luxury Apartment – 2BHK in Andheri West- Fully Paid.]
[Reputation Index: +10.]
"Luxury apartment?" he said out loud.
He looked out—and almost fell over. A brand-new Mercedes van stopped across the street, and two suited men stepped out and handed him a keycard enclosed in a gold envelope.
One of them said, "Mr. Shastri, the property situated at Lotus Heights, Andheri West, is now in your name. Please sign here.
Literally, Agastya's jaw dropped.
The other man smiled politely. "Also, sir, would you like us to move your belongings?
In an hour, the entire chawl was abuzz. People peered out of their doors. The landlord, Mr. Bhansali, came running down the stairs.
"Agastya! Who are these people? What's happening?" Agastya calmly pointed toward the movers packing his few things. "I'm shifting out, Bhansali saab. Bought a new flat in Andheri West." The landlord's eyes bulged. "You? In Andheri West?" Agastya smiled. "Oh, and don't worry about the advance deposit. Keep it as charity." The old man's mouth hung open as Agastya clambered into the Mercedes van, the golden envelope glowing in his hand. [System Notification: Face-Slap Event Completed Successfully. [Public Reputation Boost +15.] [System Upgrade Unlocked: Wealth Portfolio Tracker. As the van drove off through the crowded lanes, Agastya leaned back, eyes closed. His new life had officially begun. [System Voice:] "Agastya Shastri, you've taken your first step into the Empire of Wealth. Remember, the Supreme Godly Money System rewards virtue and vision alike. What you do next will define the legend you become." Agastya smiled. "Then let's build a legend."
