When it Rains [RPKEE]

RPKEE
Thet Hnin stands still, almost lost among the laughing crowds, but her presence is undeniable. The water splashes over her, but she doesn't react. Her gaze is distant, yet sharp, taking in everything, processing in silence. The noise around her, the joy, the chaos-it feels like it belongs to someone else, someone far removed from the woman standing there. Her hands are folded in front of her, fingers pressed together so tightly her knuckles are white, but her posture remains calm, poised, like she's always been in control. Her face is unreadable-no traces of sorrow, no hints of anger, just the stillness of someone who has learned to bury her emotions deep. A soft sigh escapes her lips as she watches the crowd, but it's not one of relief. It's the kind of sigh you make when you've long since accepted that nothing will ever be the same. The seconds pass quietly, and though she's just one face in the sea of revelers, there's something about her that feels out of place. Something beneath the surface that doesn't quite belong.

What if money was power? What if capital was magical? What if income was cultivation? What if a young man decided to destroy this unjust world of inequality and build a better one? That was exactly what Cæ (Cash) sought to do amid grief, anger, and hatred when he lost everything in an accident. Having come from nothing in the slums, his only goal had been to live a good life. By the age of twenty-two, he had finally managed to pull himself out of poverty with a decent job and romance. And then he lost everything he had ever built in an accident that left him in a coma for half a year. The world deprived him of the only person he had truly come to love. The predatory healthcare system burdened him with debt. The corrupt justice system deprived him of justice. The financial system robbed him of everything he owned. For the second time in his life, Cæ had been left with nothing. Well, almost nothing. The accident and the ensuing coma had altered his brain and mind, giving him an extraordinary talent for cultivating and mastering magic. He had been blessed with Acquired Savant Syndrome, a medical condition so rare that there were very few instances of it ever having occurred in history. It gave him endless potential and remarkable power. It gave him the power to destroy the world that he hated from the bottom of his heart. It gave him the power to destroy it and build a better one. And that was exactly what Cæ set out to do. --- This is my second novel, albeit my first time trying my hand at Royal Road. This story is centered around my desire to explore a story with a magical system centered around macroeconomics and politics. As the title suggests, this story will be centered around kingdom-building and progression fantasy. Romance is a coin flip. No smut. No harem. No systems. Hope you enjoy reading this as much as I enjoy writing it.
