Jaxon Ryder Mercer was broke, overlooked, and stuck in a dead-end cycle of gig jobs and late rent—until the W.A.R.M.I. system selected him. No explanation. No warning. Just one message:
“You have been granted access to W.A.R.M.I. Starting balance: $1,000,000. Objective: Spend to 1,000,000 in 24 hours.”
t first, it seemed like a joke. Then the money cleared. Then the world changed.
W.A.R.M.I. doesn’t just track money—it transforms wealth into literal power. Spend enough on security, and you get real combat-trained guards. Invest in knowledge, and you unlock skills that would take years. Buy a condemned building, and it becomes a villa. Upgrade your lifestyle, and you unlock many bonuses. But here’s the catch: the money must flow, or it’s game over.
Jaxon isn’t just trying to survive. He has to spend, earn, and evolve, all while staying ahead of forces who want to bankrupt him—financially, socially, and systemically.
This is no ordinary rags-to-riches story.
It’s a race against time, greed, and the rules of a world that bends to capital converted into combat potential.
He doesn’t start with power. He buys it.
He doesn’t escape the system. He owns it.
He Rich—because he has to be.
