《Coin Event》Chapter 1: Coin Event
Advertisement
Otake Katsuro is an average-looking 20-year-old male, he was in his second year of college barely able to live on the amount of money he makes from his job.
Kasturo works at a grocery store and usually works at night since that’s the only time he can since he has school in the afternoon.
Kasturo just got off his shift it was 2 am, he had worked less on this day due to the night manager sending him home early.
He was walking when someone in all black approached him, he was cautious of the man and asked him what he wanted.
“Do you need anything?”
“No, but here, give me your hand,” said the strange man
“Okay?”
“This coin here is one of a kind it’s unique but its self is worth nothing”
“Then why do you want me to have this?”
“I am the richest man in the world”
The strange man took off his hood and showed his face
“Wait, you’re Tokuda Tatsuo the richest man in the world right now”
“What are you doing here?”
“I don’t have much time to live so I wanted someone to inherit that isn’t a part of my family”
“So I decided to let the whole world get a chance on getting all my money”
“In an hour I will announce the coin I gave you and that whoever returns the coin back to me after a week since announcing it will inheritance my money”
“I won’t accept the coin before the week is over though”
“Wait but why are you giving me the coin”
“Well because you were the first person I saw and you look like you could use the money too”
“Well your not wrong but won't people come for me”

“Well that not my problem but at the end of the day if you want you could give someone else the coin”
“Well I do need the money so I don’t think I’ll do that”
“Then expect people to come for you”
“There will be rules of course like me only accepting the coin after a week but I’ll announce them when I announce the coin too”
“I will tell you this though since your the starter of this event”
“You could create a group of people to help you and split the money between you guys but that depends on the person who returns the coin to me”
“Also laws are unprohibited which means killing will be allowed along with other crimes”
“It will only last until I get the coin back so everything will return back to normal after this event”
“Any questions before your one hour starts young man?”
“Wait so I can kill and do other crimes within the week?”
“Well yes but it only applies to people who are participating in the event”
“How do you sign yourself up for the event?”
“Well for you since you have the coin you were entered at random but others will sign a form online to play in the event”
“Oh okay then that makes sense”
“Can I hide the coin somewhere?”
“No you cannot the coin needs to be with someone”
“I will know if someone has it so don’t try hiding it”
“You can have other people carry it for you, it’s on you of course if you trust them”
“By the way since your the first person to hold the coin, you could have my number to ask me for anything”
“Wait can I ask you one last thing?”
“What is it, young man?”

“What should I do if I can’t a home to hide because of money problems?”
“Oh don’t worry I have people working for me that know of the coin around the world and just show them the coin and they will let you get anything you need”
“That’s the power of the coin”
“Well goodbye and good luck your one hour starts now get going”
“I hope he’s the one to give me the coin back in a week,” thought Tatsuo
“Well I got an hour until he announces the event, what should I do?”
“I think I know where to go for the time being”

Author’s words
I got inspired to write this story while seeing a video with a similar plot and then decided to make a story similar but different too. This story follows a young man who has trouble with money and gets involved in an event out of nowhere and now he has to deal with it.

Yet their destinies get strangely entangled. And if that weren't enough, A.S. itself decides our young, hapless hero is just the person it needs for a spot of undercover work...

To her astonishment, she opened her eyes to find herself in an ancient setting, a different body, and a new life as the eldest daughter of a high court official. {...Okay, at least I'm rich...I can still live happily and freely, it's still a golden opportunity at a second life. I can live it well~...maybe go travelling, start a business, or something…It definitely could be worse...} To Lei Xing’s horror, her new host was scheduled to enter the palace to compete in the concubine selection for the new Emperor. {...What?! I am definitely not interested! Of all places, it’s that viper pit! I’m not built for any Royal BS or harem fights. Please keep your scheming lives to yourselves and leave me the hell out of it, NOT INTERESTED!!!... Can I not go, please? T_T)...No? Nevermind then, failure is always an option... Failure is the only possible outcome. Bring it on! Hahahaha…} While Lei Xing was making plans on how to skip out of town, fate was also very busy working out its own plans for her, mapping out its own course for her life behind the scenes... Poking holes in her plans to her confusion and outrage. "...Little chicken, as long as I'm alive you won't die." "Nonsense, if anyone is going to cause my death, it would be you!!" *** "Do you really feel nothing after all this time?" He asked as he looked at her with searching eyes, trying to see into her soul...
