Prologue: The Golden Boy’s "Big Oops"

Three months ago, Elias Vance was the "Apex Predator of Wall Street." He lived in a penthouse made of glass and arrogance. He had the Golden Ticker—a legendary piece of hardware that predicted market moves three seconds before they happened. He was untouchable.

Then came "The Black Tuesday Re-set."

In a single synchronized move, the six Syndicates (The Board) didn't just out-trade him—they hacked the reality of his assets. They turned his millions into "Digital Dust" and triggered a Systemic Margin Call. Eli went from popping champagne to sleeping on a pile of shredded tax documents in a neon-lit alleyway.

🔥 Chapter 1: The Revenge Portfolio

The hero awakens in a basement "Black Market Hub" run by a mysterious entity known only as The Narrator (that’s you, or rather, the voice in his head).

He realizes the Syndicates didn't just take his money; they used it to fund the "Gauntlet"—a digital gladiatorial arena where financial power is converted into raw, destructive energy. Eli finds his old terminal, now cracked and leaking blue energy, and realizes he can "fight" back.

The Goal: Work his way up from the bottom-tier trash stocks to the high-stakes global assets, liquidating every boss who signed his "termination" papers.

🏗️ Chapter 2: Climbing the Corporate Ladder (of Death)

As the hero tears through Mister Real Estate (who literally tried to bulldoze Eli’s childhood home for a parking lot) and Sheik Shaker (who spiked gas prices just to watch the world burn), he realizes something terrifying:

The Market is alive.

It’s not just numbers; it’s a sentient, hungry beast called THE BULL. The Syndicates aren't just traders; they are cultists feeding the Bull with the life savings of regular people. Eli isn't just getting his money back—he’s accidentally becoming a revolutionary.

Narrator: "Look at you, Eli! You went from a corporate shill to a financial Robin Hood. Too bad Robin Hood didn't have to deal with a 50-foot tall Mr. X."

🌑 Chapter 3: The Systemic Collapse

The hero reaches the inner sanctum: The Shadow Bank Network. Here, he meets "The Phantom" Pascal, the man who actually coded the "Black Tuesday Re-set."

Pascal reveals the ultimate twist: The player (YOU) is the reason Eli lost everything. The "Black Tuesday" event was actually the game being installed. Every time the player "loses" a match, Eli suffers in real-time. The only way to break the cycle is to achieve Total Market Domination and execute the "Universal Sell-Off"—a move so powerful it will wipe the Syndicates off the map and reset the global economy.

⚡ The Climax: The Final Trade-Off

Eli stands before the Three-Headed Cerberus of Global Finance. The sky is a glitching mess of red "SELL" orders.

Intensity: The world is literally de-rezzing around him.

The Stakes: If are hero wins, he saves the world's economy but remains a "Rogue" forever, never able to return to his old life.

The Meta-Twist: He looks directly at the camera (at YOU) and says: "I don't care about the penthouse anymore. I just want to see their margins hit zero."

The game ends with The Hero slamming the final "EXECUTE" button, causing a literal explosion of gold and data that white-outs the screen.
