The system pulsed in Damon's mind the moment he hit Yes.

First Target: Tailor Check-In (Downtown District) — 4 Hour Window
Damon's lips curled into a grin.
This wasn't just about flexing.
It was about showing the world — and every fake smile at that reunion — that the boy they counted out… was not the man coming back.
Tailor Shop – "Maison De Valor"
Damon stepped off the bus feeling like an imposter. The shop's glass windows gleamed like they were cut from diamonds. Inside: marble floors, gold-trimmed racks, and suits that cost more than most people's rent.
A tall, slender man in round glasses greeted him without looking up. "Sir, we only work by appointment."
Damon opened his mouth — but then the system pinged.
[Check-In Detected: Luxury Tailor]
Reward: "Tailored Perfection" — One free fully customized designer suit, aura-enhancing enchantment applied
Bonus: +10 Charisma, +5 Presence, Passive Skill "First Impression Mastery" Unlocked
Before Damon could even speak, the man's eyes shifted — like he felt something change.
"…on second thought, I believe we can make time."
An hour later, Damon stood in front of a mirror, dressed in a charcoal-gray suit that hugged his new physique like it had been made for royalty. Crisp white shirt. Black loafers. Watch glinting like it knew the future was his.
The tailor nodded with reverence. "Sir… with all due respect, you look like a man people fear to underestimate."
Damon smiled.
"That's the point."
Later That Day — Exotic Auto Lounge
The system's next check-in lit up while Damon was on the sidewalk.
[Next Location: Exotic Car Dealership — 2 Hour Window]
Reward Tier: Vehicle Access / Ownership Grant
He took a ride-share across the city, heart pounding. Not because he needed the car — but because this was symbolism. A message. Something his classmates would never forget.
Inside, the dealership gleamed with polished glass and carbon-fiber fantasy. Bentleys. Ferraris. Lambos. Cars that belonged in movies, not in Damon's reality.
Or so he thought.
[Check-In Detected]
Reward: Temporary Ownership — One Exotic Vehicle (Valid 1 Week)
Bonus: Custom Wrap + Performance Upgrade
Vehicle Delivered: 2024 Lamborghini Urus — Midnight Black, Gold Trim
The keys dropped into his hand with a gentle ding.
And just like that, the boy who used to catch rides to school would now pull up in a beast of a machine that screamed legacy.

Event Day: 4 Days Remaining
Damon parked outside his apartment, stepped out of the Lambo, and every eye on the block turned. For once, no one said a word. They just stared.
He opened the front door, passed the mirror, and stopped.
He didn't recognize the man looking back.
And he loved it.
