"From Broke to Baller: Thanks, System?"

The next morning felt strangely clear. Maybe it was the satisfying resort visit or the sharp breakout he predicted in last night's charts. Either way, Jin woke up feeling productive. It was Sunday — the only day he could fully reset before the college chaos began again.

He brewed a simple cup of coffee, sat by the window, and opened his laptop. Charts moved in real time on his screen — Bitcoin already hit the 72K mark he signaled in CryptoElite, and Ethereum looked just as strong.

"Clean breakout," he muttered.

He clicked into the CryptoElite group again, checking the chat flood from last night. Then he typed:

> Jin | Admin:

BTC target hit. Hope y'all secured profits.

Dropping a new rotation setup tonight.

Also… I've been holding off long enough. Buying a bike this week.

The group exploded again.

> Dre: OKAYYY MOTORBIKE ERA

Miko: Bro finally treating himself! Deserve mo yan

Rai: Don't forget us when you're rich HAHAHA

Zane: Fr tho. Remember what we said? If you get rich...

Jin stared at the screen for a moment, then smiled. He remembered that promise clearly — it was just after one of their earliest wins in the group. They joked, "If you get rich, you treat us."

Well, he was rich now. Crypto had been kind. The system even kinder.

He replied:

> Jin | Admin:

I remember. So, I'm keeping my word.

I'll treat everyone in the group. Whatever you want. Just don't ask for a Lambo.

> Ella: HAHAHA YOURE WILD

Rai: Bro... you for real??

Chino: I want samgyup. And boba. And new shoes.

> Jin | Admin:

Say less. Let's plan a day next week. My treat.

He leaned back, exhaling. It felt good. Not the flex — the fulfillment. Keeping promises. Sharing what he earned.

That afternoon, Jin stepped out and headed straight to a local bike dealership he bookmarked weeks ago. The place wasn't flashy, but it had the exact model he had in mind — sleek, matte black, not too bulky. Something he could ride to school without turning every head… but still turn some.

The salesman approached. "You sure about this one?"

Jin nodded. "Yeah. I'll take it."

The paperwork didn't take long. After a few signatures and a short test run, Jin took a photo of the keys dangling from his hand, his new bike in the background, and posted it to CryptoElite again.

> Jin | Admin:

New ride secured. Commuting days = over.

Small reward for a big grind.

The chat exploded. Again.

He didn't post it on his college socials this time — not yet. But he knew word would get around eventually. For now, he was okay with just his tight-knit group knowing. They were the ones who saw the grind.

Back at home, he sat down to update his market notebook, review next week's signals, and schedule a few personal tasks — including checking the construction budget again for the resort.

Everything was falling into place. Slowly. Naturally.

And for the first time in a while, he felt like he was living instead of just surviving.
