I'm the Richest

There have been many rich people in this world and no doubt, there'll be many more in the future. Someone asked me, “Mr. Drayce, today the financial world confirmed you've officially crossed the ten trillion mark… making you the richest man on Earth. But everyone knows your true wealth is far beyond what’s publicly known.” She swallowed, breath caught in her throat, and then asked the question everyone was dying to hear: “Just how rich are you, really?” I smirked, then, with the kind of calm arrogance only absolute power could create: “In heaven and earth, I am the richest. No one was richer than me. No one ever will be.” And then? Chaos. Absolute chaos. “World's First Ten Trillionaire Declares Himself the Richest Ever!” “Kaelen Drayce: God of Wealth or Just a Man?” “Heaven and Earth?! Did He Just Say That?” News networks broadcast it live. The internet went into meltdown. Stocks froze. Nations listened. Memes, debates, worship, and rage spread like wildfire. As for how I became the richest man in history? To answer that, we must go back to that fateful night— to a forgotten room, in a forgotten city, where a 19-year-old boy wept alone in the dark… Until the system found me.
