The Fears of a Billionaire: SynopsisDominic Hayes, a self made billionaire and CEO of one of the world’s most powerful tech conglomerates, lives a life most could only dream of. From his towering penthouse in New York City, he commands vast empires of wealth and influence, controlling everything from global markets to cutting edge technologies. To the outside world, he is the embodiment of success a man who has it all.But beneath the surface, Dominic's carefully constructed world is starting to crack. When he receives a cryptic message .“I know what you did”—he is thrust into a psychological game that threatens to unravel everything he has built. The message brings back memories of Andrew Cole, a former rival whose tech startup Dominic crushed in his ruthless climb to the top. Andrew disappeared after his company was destroyed, but now, it seems, he has returned.As Dominic digs deeper into his past, he begins to uncover the possibility that Andrew Cole isn’t the only one who has a score to settle. Mysterious forces seem to be working against him, targeting not just his empire but his sanity. His corporate deals start to collapse, his closest confidants turn against him, and strange occurrences lead him to question who he can trust even his wife, Alyssa, and his most loyal employees.The deeper Dominic falls into this web of paranoia and fear, the more he realizes that the threats against him are not just external. The guilt from his past actions begins to eat away at his mind, slowly eroding the steely confidence that once defined him. The higher he climbed, the further he has to fall, and now, as his enemies close in.

This is a happy story of a lawbreaker who legally obtained a C-level skill from an agent, was forced to replace an A-level item, voluntarily steal a B-level skin, and forcibly smuggled into the world of pirates. .

Assuming that a lieutenant general has an average combat strength of 100, a domineering level of B, a speed level of A, and a strength level of B, if an individual with this goal of growth has an initial combat strength of 1, the average annual growth rate of combat strength is 1.24. The uncertainty increase and decay value caused by the accident is ±2.5, and the trigger conditions of the domineering system are unequal and random. Try to demonstrate the following questions:

1. Describe the nature of the Devil Fruit and explain how it works.

2. Explore what is the mutual restraint mechanism of “Domineering – Fruit”?

PS: Due to various reasons, the announcement is made in a serious and responsible attitude. The two words “strong” in several names are very reliable. As for the last two words… miraculously, it has nothing to do with the content.

Just a warning, only read this if you want a proper story with meaning. If you just some powerup and fight and then some powerup and fight, this is not the story for you.The MC will be overpowered, but it does not mean his fights will be easy. Side characters wont be left behind either.------------------------In the beginning, an omnipotent being existed alone in an endless void, creating the universe to escape eternal solitude. Granting all lifeforms freedom and the potential to ascend, he hoped for companions to share in his divine existence.Over millennia, three mortals—Arcturus, a brave warrior; Selene, a wise sage; and Lysander, a compassionate healer—rose to power, guided subtly by their creator. Their journey towards divinity, however, turned dark as ambition and envy led them to betray their creator, resulting in his fall.Before vanishing, the original god established Gaia, a system ensuring universal balance and order. Countless years later, he is reborn as Theos, a mortal child in a humble village. Unaware of his past, Theos awakens the SSS Creator System, unlocking immense potential. With this newfound power, he embarks on a journey to restore cosmic balance and confront ancient betrayal, setting him on a path destined for greatness.Give it a try and let me know how is it.
