The WealthTap System: Rising from Rags to Riches

Chris was completely taken aback reading the received notice, he read the message, again and again, to confirm that he somehow misread it.

He felt his sense of reality shutting down, his belief that the entire life he lived up until now was a dream seemed more plausible for Chris's brain to process than to believe that a simple application that wasn't even that well made can make money.

(Insert Shutting down gif)

As much as he didn't want to believe that suspicious and fishy system. The proof was right in front of his eyes. He just kept staring at his mobile screen frozen in utmost shock, blinking at the screen alone in the dark hall like some sort of a mental patient.

[Congratulations on completing the Activation of The TapEarn System.

[System note: The conversion of the Host's Tap to Earned Money(EM) consumes the Host's stamina. Kindly keep that in mind.]

With a sudden barrage of system notification holograms, Chris was awoken from his momentary daze. He began reading the new notifications in a solemn mood.

With the valid proof, He at least understood that whatever was happening,

1st) wasn't normal and 2nd) was either a really divine gift or one of the biggest pranks in history.

'Hmm, so to sum it all up, I have gained something called <The Wealth Tap System>, and <The Wealth Tap App> on my phone. It seems to give me something called EM when I tap the white box and it can be converted into money or used to level up. There are also missions to complete.' Chris tapped his chin with a thoughtful expression and summarised.

He didn't bother to think about Why this is happening or How this is happening, that was for future Chris to handle.

'10k with no system? I have my 7.4k that I earned without the system...Hehe, I can just try to invest it and buff it up to 10k easy peasy...ok wait, not easy peasy, but at least simpler than using normal methods.' Chris grinned making plans to complete his Main Quest number 1.

'Time to do some Tapping~" In a good mood, Chris smirked widely cracking his fingers, totally overacting for just tapping on his phone screen.

... a Few Moments Later...

"Huff, pant, I give up!" Chris panted for breath, feeling no strength in his arms anymore.

Some time ago he started to tap, and at the start, there was no problem.

But, as he began to tap faster and more continuously, his hands began to go numb and his whole body began to feel out of energy.

He felt like a bit a few years ago Chris that was umm...just did normal things of his age... umm... just, just, okay?

[EM- 375/500 Level-1: 1 EM/Tap ]

"Huff...huff...just 375$" Chris drew deep breaths, he had been tapping his phone for a while now and realized that the stamina consumption of the system was no joke!

His hands were feeling heavy and numb due to stamina getting sucked right out of them. 'Since I was tapping with my hands, the majority of my stamina was drawn from my hands. I can still feel quite a vigor left in my legs and body...' Chris hummed in thought.

'Hah! How did I not think of that!' Chris suddenly thought of an ingenious plan and opened the app downloader on his phone and...

INSTALLED AN AUTO-CLICKER!

He still remembered that he was once addicted to an online tap-idle game, but soon got tired of tapping. In the end, he wound up rigging the game with the Auto-clicker! however, later that game ended up being no fun to Chris anymore...

The auto-clicker was yet again installed on Chris's phone making his smile widen at his genius plan.

He opened the application and navigated through its interface, selecting the settings to Tap as fast as it could.

// Tap speed: 120 Clicks Per Second

Clicking Mode: Manual //

// START //

'Phew...' Chris took a deep breath to calm himself and after placing the Auto-clicker's target as the white box. He hit start.

As soon as the auto-clicker started, cash began flowing in Chris's EM bar at unprecedented speed!

With the cps of 120, Chris's old EM balance was left in the dust in just 4 seconds!

One might expect Chris to be really happy with this, right? Well, he would have been happy if he was in his right state of mind currently...

Like undergoing a deadly seizure, His body felt numb whole over and he fell on the couch feeling his life getting sucked right out of his body. His grip on his phone loosened making it fall on his chest, auto-clicker still going at it in its full capability.

Chris began feeling sleepy, his mind shutting down, eyelids automatically beginning to close. All these symptoms kept worsening as the auto-clicker worked...

'got..to...hi.t...st..o.p...' Despite his completely jumbled state of mind, Chris held on to his thin string of life dearly, his survival instincts kicking at their max.

With every ounce of limited energy he can muster, Chris slowly tried to raise his near-dead hand and maneuvered it to just tap that bright red STOP button.

// STOP //

*click*

// START //

He did it. He finally managed to toughen his near-death situation and stop the auto-clicker in time, But Chris wasn't able to celebrate that fact.

How could he, When he passed out in his cold sweat the moment he pressed that button?

-- Next Morning --

"Brother! Good Morning!" a sweet feminine voice shouted and then remarked, "Ugh, why does it stink so much here?"

"I sleep...I no work...I sleep..." Chris murmured in sleep, a language that only sleep addicts can use.

"What do you mean no work?! And don't sleep, it's 10 am already!"

"..."

"WAKE UP!"

"Fine!!!" With an annoyed yell, Chris sat up on the bed rubbing his eyes in exhaustion. He yawned and stretched his tired limbs, as the memories of last night got recalled in his mind.

"Good Morning." Cassie smiled at him, in complete contrast to her behavior a few seconds ago.

"Morning." Chris greeted back, getting up from the couch and heading toward the bathroom.

'Last night was deadly...' He shivered in his mind, still a little traumatized by the last night's events. But the feeling was natural, after all, he was lucky to survive when even being just a single second late could have cost him his life.

'But...' Chris's hand automatically headed towards his right pocket, pulling out his old smartphone...
