Johnny Lance was once an ordinary man with an extraordinary sense of responsibility. Growing up in the suburbs of New Veritas, he became the protector and provider for his younger sister, Claire, after their parents’ tragic death. Despite the hardships, Johnny built a modest life with his wife, Elena, and their young daughter, Lily. His dreams were simple: to give his family a better future. But the cracks in his life began to show when he risked everything to start a business with his charismatic best friend, Marcus Blackwood. What began as a partnership built on trust and ambition turned into betrayal. Marcus and Elena’s affair destroyed Johnny’s marriage, and Marcus’s ruthless business tactics forced Johnny out of his own company. Left with nothing—no family, no fortune, and no purpose—Johnny spiraled into despair. He moved into a dingy apartment on the outskirts of New Veritas, drowning in bitterness and regret. His longing to be reunited with his daughter, Lily, was the only light in his dark world. One night, in a drunken and reckless state, Johnny attempted to drive to see Lily, but a devastating car accident left him bleeding out on the brink of death. In his final moments, a mysterious message appeared in his mind: *"The Seven Deadly Sins System of Wealth has chosen you. Do you accept?"* Desperate for any semblance of hope or power, Johnny accepted. The system granted him his first ability: **Greed**, the power to see and manipulate opportunities for personal gain. With this newfound ability, Johnny rose from the ashes of his former life, using the system’s powers to amass unimaginable wealth and influence. His first act of “Greed” involved manipulating a failing stock, turning himself into a millionaire overnight.

Chapter 1: The Fall
The air reeked of stale whiskey and regret. Johnny Lance squirmed in discomfort, on an old couch with annoying springs looming against his back and that feeling almost lost in a haze of liquor. He was holding a bottle almost empty of cheap bourbon with one damp label hanging off. In contrast, the image of his daughter, Lily. Her bright, gap-toothed smile was an echo of his, a glaring reminder of the life he had destroyed.He raised the bottle, gazing at the amber liquid inside."How did it come to this?" he murmured, his voice hoarse and shaky. "How did I let them take everything from me?"The area remained quiet. It just never happened.He lay on his back watching the soft light from the solitary bulb overhead dance. His eyelids very lightly closed, if only for a second, and the noises of the city outside receded. Contrastingly, the memory came on—strong, pervasive, and relentless.FlashbackIt was a Wednesday, merely another lengthy day at work. For once, he had departed early, the

Johnny Lance and the Seven Deadly Sins System of Wealth Chapter 8:The Storm of Resistance
It was the boardroom of **Silverstone Corp.**, a veritable fortress of hostility. Twelve faces regarded Johnny Lance, their expressions changing from skepticism to outright hostility. That palpable silence became quickly filled by only the faint sound of air-conditioning, for several seconds after Johnny completed his pitch. Johnny leaned back in his chair, clasping his hands in front of him. "Well? Are we going to sit here all day, or are you ready to talk numbers?" An older man occupying the center of the table, **Elliot Grayson**, cleared his throat. He had the silver hair and sharp gray suit that went along with all the airs an authority could muster: "Mr. Lance, let me be frank. Many of us here are... concerned. Your sudden interest in Silverstone is, quite frankly, suspicious." Johnny smirked and leaned forward slightly. "Suspicious? I call it opportunistic. Your company is in freefall. I am giving you a lifeline. You would think I should get a thank you, not an interrogation

The newsroom was buzzing with chaos. The news of Johnny Lance’s alleged embezzlement scandal had exploded across every major headline in New Veritas. A harsh glare from on-stage eyebrows. **“Corporate Fraud Scandal Rocks New Veritas” though it meant flashes of screens damning their expressions with documents, financial charts, and photographs of Johnny's face.Mia Torres sat by her desk, scrolling through her breaking news feed via her laptop. Her fellow journalists were huddled together in groups, whispering and speculating among themselves. Meanwhile, Carl - her editor - was directing orders across the room.“Torres!” came the voice, as if it were shot at her instead of directed to everyone else. “Get moving! I want a piece on Lance by tonight. Everybody's talking about it. This is the kind of story that makes careers.”Mia looked up, jaw tight. "What if the story's wrong?" she asked, voice slicing through the buzz of activity.Carl scoffed, walking toward her desk. “Wrong? Are you

Glasses chimed in the splendor of the ballroom where the elite of New Veritas were sharing greetings beneath sparkling chandeliers. The scent of pricey cologne, matured whiskey, and shining ambition lingered in the atmosphere. At the corner of the room stood Mia Torres, observing the crowd with keen eyes. After pulling the strap of her sleek black dress a few times, she repositioned her leather notebook for the evening's task of a designer clutch."You aren't meant to be here," she murmured quietly, taking a sip of champagne."Are you already talking to yourself?" the recognizable voice interruptedMia turned to see Johnny Lance walking closer, a glass of bourbon in hand, the confidently coy smile adorning his lips. Impeccably tailored, his suit glimmered subtly under the lighting. Before she stood a man who truly looked the part of one self-made billionaire who had clawed his way back to that very status."Johnny Lance," Mia said with smooth confidence, a practiced smile on her lips.

It was ringing phones, clacking keyboards, and low hums of conversations -- the newsroom. In that crowded spot, Mia Torres sat still at her desk with her eyes glued to the glowing monitor, her fingers doing a methodical tapping on the keyboard while stopping for a moment to note something down in her used leather notebook. And to top it off, a cup of cold coffee was lying at the very edge of the desk in an abandoned state.A loud voice sliced through all the clamor. It was Carl, her editor, whose angry steps soon reverberated through the air even before Mia managed to look up. Barrel-chested, with a deeply lined weather-worn face permanently set in a scowl, he was visibly irritated now. "You're still after that Johnny Lance story?"Mia leaned back in her chair, arms crossed. "You mean the story of a guy who in weeks turned from rags to riches, for which there is no clear explanation? Sure, Carl, I am after it."Carl snorted and tossed one of the papers on her desk, with the title read

The penthouse buzzed with newfound wealth. The sprawling windows framed the glittering city lights of New Veritas, a stark reminder of how far Johnny Lance had climbed—and how fast. Johnny sat on a sleek leather couch, a glass of whiskey in hand, swirling the amber liquid absentmindedly. His laptop rested on the coffee table in front of him, the numbers on the screen still displaying his latest windfall.The knock at the door snapped him out of his thoughts.Johnny frowned, setting the glass down. He wasn’t expecting anyone. He walked to the door, hesitating briefly before opening it. When he saw the man standing there, his expression darkened.“Alan?” Johnny said, his tone sharp and filled with suspicion. “What the hell are you doing here?”Alan Reyes stood in the hallway, dressed in an impeccably tailored gray suit, his tie slightly loose as if he had just left a long meeting. His dark hair was neatly combed back, but his face carried an air of weariness. He gave Johnny a small, alm

Except for the flicker of the laptop screen, the room was dark. Johnny was leaning forward, his bloodshot eyes scanning numbers and graphs on the monitor. His fingers hovered just above the keyboard, which was illuminated by the green pulse of his system threads in his vision. Each thread is connected to a point in the stock market—a company, a price, an opportunity. Each one whispered the same promise: *Money. Power.* “Do it,” the system’s cold voice echoed in his head. Johnny’s finger tapped the enter key. “That’s it?” His voice was hoarse, almost disbelieving. “That’s all I had to do?” The system responded, its tone as unfeeling as ever. “The market will respond accordingly. Greed has shown you the path. Now watch.” Johnny leaned back in his chair, his heart racing. The screen erupted in a flurry of activity—stocks plummeting, others surging. He had shorted a failing company, betting it would collapse, and the system had guaranteed the outcome. The company’s shares tanked

The pieces came together for the world again. Glass shattered as Johnny moved in a different position, and a metallic taste of blood stung across his tongue. His head throbbed, and his vision was all misted around. He blinked rapidly in attempted focus, but all he could see was smoke and the twisted wreckage of his driven car."Oh man, am I... finished?" He croaked out the words; they got subjugated drowning in humming sounds to his ears.A cold, mechanical voice answered: "No, not yet." He couldn’t see who or where the voice was coming from. It was in his head. Keen, unemotional, and strangely calm."Do you agree to the system's sins—Yes.":"Welcome, Johnny Lance, to the Wealth System of the Seven Deadly Sins."Johnny remained still. "What's happening to me?" He managed to get out the words as he tried rising from the ground, hissing in pain through his ribs. He coughed blood onto the asphalt."The system has been consented to by you," said the voice devoid of any feelings. "Here, yo
