∆ A Note About This Chapter ∆

This chapter shares some general info about the world in this book. You'll discover most of it naturally as the story unfolds, but I've included it here for anyone who likes to know the bigger picture early on.

That said, there might be a few light spoilers—so read this part only if you're okay with that.

The World of 10X Rebate

• 10X Rebate System

When Caleb wakes up in this strange new world, he's not alone—he's got a system. And it's not shy about its mission: help Caleb rise through the ranks and eventually claim his father's fortune.

How? By completing quests, most of which involve seducing powerful women called Cardholders and earning ten times their wealth.

It sounds wild—maybe even a little sleazy—but there's more to it. The system isn't just about the act; it pushes Caleb to build real emotional connections and keep them going.

• Cardholders

These aren't your average people. Cardholders are chosen individuals granted massive power, influence, and wealth through a mysterious card.

But there's a brutal catch: once chosen, they're thrown into a twisted mirror world called Truedream, where they must survive for three nights.

It's a place where nightmares live, and rest is a luxury they can't afford.

• Truedream

This is the dark mirror of our world—born from pain, broken dreams, and the regrets people bury deep. In Truedream, those emotions take monstrous form, hunting anyone who enters. It's a place where fear breathes and the only way out is through.

• The Cards

These cards are powerful, each one unlocking a unique ability. Some are built for combat, others for mind games and manipulation.

They fall into two main categories—Queen and King—each with three escalating levels:

∆ Queen

1 Crown

2 Crowns

3 Crowns

∆ King

1 Horn

2 Horns

3 Horns

• Group X

They're the shadows behind the curtain—an organization no one really understands. When a Cardholder dies, Group X is there, collecting the card and wiping away the mess. No bodies left behind. No questions asked.

• Mirror Energy

This is the power source Cardholders tap into when they want to use their abilities in the real world.

Interestingly, in Truedream, they don't need it. There, their powers flow freely—probably because that world runs on raw, unfiltered chaos.

That aside, I truly hope you enjoy reading this story. I'd love to hear your honest thoughts—your feedback means a lot to me and helps me grow as a writer.
