Debt Reset

After seeing his Aura bank reset, Nokia dug through his system messages trying to find the proof.
“System? Where’s the proof?!”

[📜 System Error]
[Aura accumulation too high to log. Updating system… ⏳]

“There’s no way…”

[📜 System still processing...]

[📝 Autograph → +100 Aura]

[ Irritated dismissal signage → +100 Aura]
[🖐️ Hand flick into the face → +100 Aura]
[ No eye contact signage → +100 Aura]
[ Another autograph request → +100 Aura]

Nokia squinted at the overlay.

"What autograph? Well whatever that's only 500. How does 500 turn into a million?”

[📜 System still processing..]

[🌌Special Aura action performed Special Multipliers applied]

[⚡ Signing an autograph with negative aura? x2 bonus]
[⚡ Signing an autograph during your resignation x2 bonus]
[⚡ Signing a 5-Star or above x5 bonus]

“Two… times two… times five… That’s 20×. So 500 × 20 = 10,000. Still not a million…”

Nokia staggered back, eyes wide. “It’s real… I actually hit a million.”

The judges exchanged uneasy glances. “We’re not entirely sure how this happened. But apparently, because his stream was live, millions of viewers watched you sign Ado Ross an autograph. And somehow… you accumulated over one million Aura in the process.”

"That guy in the hallway! You mean he wasn't handing me a form? He was an influencer?"

“You’ll find out soon enough. For now, what matters is this: you’re back on the path of an influencer.”

The judge tapped the desk. “Leave the paperwork here. You’re dismissed.”

Still stunned, Nokia shuffled out of the chamber. As the doors shut behind him, he found himself stepping into the gleaming parkway outside, relief washing over him like a cool breeze.

“I don’t know what the hell it means to be an influencer in this world,” he muttered. “But somehow… I’m gaining Aura.”

In the distance, Ado Ross spoke quietly with the execs as Nokia strode out of the building.

“Very kind of you, Ado,” one exec said. “Gifting him one million Aura was quite generous.”

“I did no such thing,” Ado replied calmly.

“Really?” The exec raised an eyebrow. “Then surely your fans must have—”

“No, they didn’t either,” Ado cut in.

“WHAT?!” the exec shouted, his voice echoing through the chamber. “Then how? How did he gain that much Aura?”

“I have no idea…” Ado admitted, his tone unshaken. “It was strange. It was like he somehow farmed it. I didn’t lose any, and I didn’t see any transaction. It’s almost as if…”

“As if what?” the exec pressed.

“It’s too early to say. But one thing’s for sure—” Ado’s eyes narrowed. “We need to keep our eyes on this Nokia. One million Aura in a single minute is insane. Even for me, that would be a hard day’s work.”

“Even for you?” the exec said, shocked. “At your Aura level?”

“Yeah,” Ado said, his voice steady. “Even for me.”

[🌾Aura Farming Mode is now available]

Nokia blinked at the glowing text. “System… Aura Farming Mode?” he muttered, analyzing the strange new menu.

“Hey, you!”

Nokia turned his head. From the corner of the plaza, a disgruntled man stepped forward, cracking a pair of brass knuckles against his palms.

“And What do you want?” Nokia said annoyed. "Are you with the fashion Police too or something?"

“Fashion Police? Are you kidding? I’m an influencer, just like you!” the man growled. “I’m also an Aura debtor!”

[📜 System Message]

[ ★ 1-Star Influencer 0 followers]

[Aura Bank: –10,000]

Nokia frowned. “Aura Bank… so that must mean his total Aura. Which means my Aura Bank really was –1,000,000 before…”

Brass Liam sneered. “Somehow, you just crawled out of a negative one million debt back to zero? Something fish's going on here.”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about, man. I just got lucky,” Nokia said flatly.

“Lucky? I don’t think so.” Liam’s eyes narrowed. “I think there’s some inside business going on. This is unfair. People like me have to work hard and grind for every scrap of Aura and you just stroll in and get it reset.”

“I told you, I don’t care. I’ve had a long day.”

“Well, I’ve had a long life,” Liam snapped, brass knuckles glinting under the station lights. “And you’re gonna help me get my Aura back—whether you like it or not!”

With a roar, Brass Liam lunged forward, charging straight at Nokia.

[⚠️ System Warning]
[Incoming hostile action detected]
[Aura Bank at risk]

“Hostile?” Nokia said. “So this isn’t just a chat message—he’s actually trying to kill me”

The drone above spun, its lens zooming in like it had been waiting for this. A flood of chat messages rained down the corner of Nokia’s vision:

[Chat]

StreamerStan: If he survives this, I’m subbing.

Brass Liam’s fist whistled through the air, a straight right packed with frustration and ten thousand Aura’s worth of debt behind it.

"Bring it on" Nokia said Confidently as his opponent approached.
