The Arrogance System: I Become Richer
Adam Wilson was broke, invisible, and one insult away from giving up.
Until the day arrogance paid him back.
After a brutal public humiliation, his life changes with a single notification:
[Arrogance Amplification System Activated]
The rules are simple.
Act superior. Make them believe it. The more people see him as arrogant, the richer he becomes.
What starts as small, calculated risks —outsmarting classmates, making bold claims, turning pocket change into thousands — quickly spirals into something bigger. Every victory boosts his wealth, status, and confidence. Every loss threatens to drag him back to nothing.
Soon, it’s no longer just about money.
It’s about reputation. Power. Dominance.
In a world where pride rules everything, Adam Wilson is forced to walk a dangerous line between confidence and destruction. Because one mistake, one failed claim, one moment of weakness…
…and everything he’s built can collapse.
Now the question isn’t whether he can rise.
It’s how far he’s willing to go.
And if he can be arrogant enough.

Chapter: 10 - Meeting the first young masterIt was a chilly Saturday morning so there were not much people out on the street. Most were either sleeping in from the stressful weekdays or passed out from partying on a Friday night.A tall wiry built youth, with a slightly unkempt dark hair, just walked into a clothing store.The store had just opened up for the day so while there were not much people in it, every customer seemed to be someone worth something.Of course the only exception was the youth, who looked like he had been picked from a homeless shelter with his faded jeans and old shirt.Adam had received a call in the early morning by Olivia to bring her phone which she had forgotten at his place. So he had gotten dressed and prepared just to realize his available clothes weren't up to par.That led to the current situation where he had to stop by a store to change his style.An attendant walked up to him to ask if he needed assistance but he refused her. Since he himself wasn't even certain of what he wanted, he decide

Chapter: Chapter 9 - Where's my phone?Olivia's POVThe night air was a bit chilly and slightly biting to the skin but Olivia stood at the entrance of her place of residence, a seven-floor building. She lived on the top floor because it was the cheapest and therefore it was also unfortunately the smallest.Taking in a deep breath, Olivia entered into the building.It had taken a strong force of will to not crash out in the premium cab after Adam had escorted her to it. And that was the issue.She understood his earlier reasons for pushing her away. While she could have actually done something major to help him, it would mean admitting her loss to her parents and doing it as Olivia Dunham.So, she had tried helping in the way Olivia, just Olivia, could do. She gave him large discounts anytime she saw him, trying to make him take it for free didn't work and seemed insulting.She had timed her working hours across her three jobs to always meet him. Once in a while, she gave him anonymous gifts.She had even given up a high jo

Chapter: 8 - An intimate conversationStartled at the unexpected question, Adam stumbled over his next words. Misunderstanding his lack of answer as implied consent, Olivia brought up her phone immediately. "I might know someone who can help us... If we call the police-" she began rambling, her hands trembling. Talking her hands into his and placing her phone into his pocket, Adam could only keep repeating that she was mistaken as a means of reassurance. It turned out that calming down a girl who thought you had sold your kidney was an eye catching sight. So when passersby began giving the pair strange looks, Adam had no choice but to board a taxi heading back to his place with Olivia in tow. *** Adam didn't comprehend the full weight of his actions after he had to sit Olivia on his couch and head back outside to the nearest supermarket for supplies. He didn't still grasp it when he bought a bunch of toiletries, snacks, and beverages for the duo. It was at the moment of stepping into his new apartment, for the th

Chapter: 7 - Do you have your kidneys?Adam leaned back slightly in his chair, his expression neutral despite the shifting tension around the table.Olivia was still standing.Melissa was still seated.Daniel glanced between all three of them like he'd just walked into a conversation halfway through and decided he might as well enjoy it."So," Daniel said casually, slipping his hands into his pockets, "are we interrupting something?""Not really," Adam replied.Melissa smiled faintly. "We just got here."Olivia's gaze lingered on Melissa for a second longer before she pulled out a chair from a nearby table and sat without asking. Daniel followed suit, dragging another chair over.Now it was a four-person table.Adam sighed at how the simple dinner escalated.He exhaled quietly."Is everything okay? I heard what happened earlier today," Olivia said vaguely, her tone tense and full of concern.Adam couldn't possibly

Chapter: 6 - A complicated meetingThe new place was far better than Adam's former living area which didn't say much considering the price he paid for it.It had a wide living area. The floor was tiled edge-to-edge, each piece evenly laid without cracks or uneven lines. The walls were clean and uniformly painted white.A wooden staircase rose along one side, finished with a simple railing, leading to the upper floor. Beneath it, space was left open, not boxed in or repurposed.The kitchen sat just off the living room, separated by a short counter. Cabinets lined the walls in straight rows, all matching, all aligned. The sink and fittings were fixed firmly, no looseness, no visible repairs.Upstairs, two bedrooms faced opposite sides of a narrow corridor. The rooms were evenly shaped, with flat ceilings and windows set properly into the walls.Outside, through the windows, the estate stretched in neat rows into identical houses, paved roads, trimmed edges, and no visible clutter.It made Adam feel like he had been rebor

Chapter: 5 - Adjust your policyWalking on the busy sidewalk with a backpack sling over his arm, Adam thought about his actions towards Roberts.He didn't exactly regret speaking his mind but he had acted fully on emotions which was unlike him."Arrogance system, huh?" he muttered."Leaving Roberts place is for the best but was it worth spending six hundred dollars on?"If he continued randomly throwing money anytime he had to complete a mission, there would reach a point where the rewards wouldn't cover up the money spent so he'd be sustaining losses."And I should try to increase my multiplier for higher rewards." Adam groaned.Receiving strange looks from people walking past him, Adam let out an awkward chuckle and hurried on his way.It would not be wise to spend his entire balance just to get a high end apartment. He would rather get one around the $1k - $2k range.Suddenly Adam felt a pulse on his eyes and the blue holographic screen of the system flashed before him.[New Mission Available][Secure a high-valu
