(Supreme Godly Money System, Book 1)
The monsoon rain had begun early that night in Mumbai. It whispered against glass towers, slid down the windows of Agastya's penthouse, and gathered in rivulets that shimmered in the neon light.
Inside, silence reigned — except for the soft ticking of a gold-plated wall clock and the occasional rustle of Agastya's papers.
He wasn't working. He was reading fate.
The Calm Before the Storm
On the coffee table lay an assortment of open ledgers — some from real companies, others from virtual holdings the system had helped him create. Each was worth more than he had once dared to dream.
Across the room, a large holographic display floated in the air, tracing the stock patterns of his empire.
[System Report – All Sectors Stable. Passive Income: ₹ 6.3 crore/hour.]
Agastya leaned back in his chair, sipping his black coffee. His shirt was unbuttoned at the neck; a silver chain with the Sanskrit word Aham rested on his chest.
The view beyond the glass made Mumbai look like a living organism — arteries of light pulsing through darkness. He felt… calm. Maybe too calm.
That's when the flicker began.
The Distortion
The display glitched once — a ripple of static across the floating numbers.Then again.Then the screen went black.
[Alert: External System Distortion Detected.][Type Identified: "Karma Reversal System."][Threat Level: Alpha.]
Agastya's pulse slowed. He didn't panic — his mind sharpened instead.
"Karma Reversal, huh? That means someone wants my luck to turn on me."
He stood and walked to the window, watching the storm lash against the skyline. "So… the Syndicate has made its move."
The system's voice grew colder.
[Affirmative. Host's positive karmic field is being inverted by an external host operating within Delhi jurisdiction.][Warning: Sudden losses in reputation, trust, and fortune may occur if not countered within 72 hours.]
"72 hours?" he murmured. "That's too much time for amateurs… and just enough for me."
Morning Comes with Rumors
The next day, the chaos began.Social media buzzed with claims: "Agastya Shastri under investigation for insider trading."News anchors speculated about "mysterious loopholes in his courier acquisitions."
The timing was surgical. Every story hit at once.
In his office, Aanya rushed in with panic written all over her face. "Boss, the revenue ministry is auditing your accounts. Someone leaked your private transactions!"
Agastya raised an eyebrow. "Someone?"
"Yes — but the documents are fabricated. They're so real the auditors can't tell yet."
He smiled slightly, almost lazily. "Then it's the Karma Reversal Host. They're trying to drain my credibility before draining my wealth."
Aanya frowned. "How do you fight a system that changes people's perception of you?"
Agastya turned toward the panoramic glass, where his reflection overlapped with the city below."By reminding them that perception bows before results."
[System Task: Restore Public Trust by Any Means. Reward Multiplier Active ×5.]
Counter-Move: The Public Trust Gambit
By evening, Agastya had a plan.He walked into the headquarters of Shastri Enterprises, dressed in an immaculate charcoal suit — not too flashy, just powerful enough to radiate calm dominance.
He called a press conference. Cameras clicked like gunfire when he stepped onto the dais.
"Ladies and gentlemen," he began, voice steady, "rumors are cheap. Results are not. To prove my transparency, I am opening all of my company's financials for public scrutiny. Starting today, every ledger, every profit margin, every rupee will be viewable online."
Gasps rippled through the crowd. No tycoon had ever done that.
He paused, letting silence stretch just long enough to make them hang on his next words."And while the government audits me, I will audit the system itself. Every rupee I've earned will now be reinvested into public infrastructure — schools, clean water, and jobs. I'm not losing money; I'm lending it to India."
[System Notice: Karma Value +6000 | Public Approval +480 %.][Reward Multiplier Triggered ×5 → Reward: Wealth Surge Bonus ₹ 200 crore credited.]
As the reporters erupted into applause, Aanya's phone buzzed — the news was already trending:"Agastya Shastri: The Billionaire Who Dares Audits Himself."
And just like that, the false storm began to crumble.
Face Slap #2 – The Syndicate's Pawn
In a luxury suite in Delhi, the Karma Reversal Host — Rohit Vardhan, a powerful political broker — watched the news feed in disbelief.
"Impossible. The reversal protocol should've made him crumble. Instead, his wealth increased?"
[Warning: Supreme Godly Money System Interference Detected.]
Suddenly, the air around him darkened — faint gold veins crawled across his digital interface.
[System Notice: Your host's negative karmic energy has been redirected.][Predator System is devouring residual distortion.]
Rohit clutched his chest as his balance dropped to zero.
In Mumbai, Agastya's account surged with new numbers.
[Devour Successful: Host Absorbed Karma Fragments. Intuition +5 | Luck +7 | Total Assets ₹ 942 crore.]
Agastya smirked faintly as the notification flickered. "Try to curse me, and you just end up paying interest."
Home Again
That night, he drove back home through rain-slicked streets, his Chiron slicing through the water like a blade.At a traffic light, he noticed a small tea stall, still open despite the storm.A man in ragged clothes stood there, trying to shield his daughter from the rain with a newspaper.
Agastya stepped out, rain soaking his hair instantly. He handed the man a folded cheque.
"Sir—this is—" the man stammered.
"For her school," Agastya said softly. "And a roof."
[Humanitarian Gesture Detected – Karma Stability Restored.]
He smiled to himself as the system chimed.It wasn't about money anymore.It was about power that came from using money.
Late Night Interface Update
Back in the penthouse, he sat again before the golden screen.
[Host: Agastya Shastri]Level: 34 (Predator Class – Stage 2)System Evolution: 41 %Balance: ₹ 942 croreModules: Probability Analysis (Lv 3), Market Dominion (Lv 2), Wealth Multiplier (1.3×), Reward Multiplier (x5)New Passive: Karma Shield (Lv 1 – Reflects Negative System Attacks)
He looked at the reflection in the screen — eyes calm, sharp, untouchable.Then he whispered to the night:"They sent karma to break me. I used karma to buy peace."
