The soft rays of the sun caressed the face of Adam, who was sleeping quietly on the couch of his room. He seemed to be sleeping peacefully, but cold sweat ran down his forehead and his eyeballs moved erratically under his eyelids.

Adam had a dream... that he was a holy hero who got the love of the beauties and lived his life peacefully after defeating the demon king.

And sometimes there were dreams where he destroyed entire empires, did experiments on people, traveled across continents, and participated in war.

But the sudden rumble of lightning woke Adam up, and he stood up. His eyes, which were wide open from shock, were not the same as always.

- Oh, my head..." Adama rubbed the back of his head and stood up.

His steps seemed more confident and his posture straight. Adam felt no change, however, and only started the dusty coffeemaker.

A familiar "peep" sounded and Adam took the mug and sipped the hot and tasty coffee, at the same time opening his profile on the writer's portal.

In the "My Works" section, Adam saw a new book, "Shadows of Death. Then a wide smile appeared on his face. At the same time, an old and worn-out book appeared in front of him, flipping to the second page.

Adam reached up, and the smile on his face was all too obvious. He pulled out his tablet and began to read his book, keeping an eye out for commentary. Eventually, he concluded: the book is amazing!

Even in his wildest dreams, Adam could not have imagined that he would get something like this. Besides, there weren't many haters. And the people who expected harem and romance he just ignored.

"Man, in dark fantasy, especially when the main character is a mage, romance is not the best solution. Reconsider your life and tastes," Adam wrote to the man who criticized him for his lack of romance.

At the same time, Adam opened the "Monetization" section and his eyes popped up to his forehead, which looked funny. However, Adam did not pay attention to his view and only counted the money.

"For the first day...$240!", Adam smiled and plopped down on the couch, looking up at the ceiling.

However, remembering his expenditures, Adam grew gloomy and sighed. If he couldn't get that $5,000 back, he'd soon be living somewhere under a bridge, waiting to die.

With a familiar movement of his hand, he grabbed the remote and turned on the TV. There was an entertainment program on, where celebrities were invited for interviews, along with some mini-games.

The girl on the screen was dazzlingly beautiful and was a model. Her smile made even the coldest heart tremble and fascinated. However, Adam didn't respond to her. On the contrary, he was even displeased with her.

"Why the fuck is she talking so tediously?", Adam changed the channel with annoyance.

Adam had seen prettier women in Called Heroes and Shadows of Death, and not just "seen" them. So now to him, these models look like ordinary girls in the neighborhood.

- But there's a problem," Adam muttered, and then he remembered that the rent was coming up, "After I pay my rent, I'll only have... twenty-five dollars. That wouldn't even be enough to buy food, and I couldn't even think about improving my book or opening a new slot.

Adam pulled out his phone while they were talking about the flora and fauna in Australia in the background. He opened his e-mail and checked for new messages. Except for 99% of the advertisements and alerts, Adam didn't see anything of interest. As he was about to close the e-mail, one message caught his eye.

Adam blinked, and then read the text carefully. The smile on his face was as dazzling as a spring flower, and a deep blackness appeared in the depths of his eyes, and the overall feeling changed as if he were a different person.

"How interesting," three voices rang out at once in Adam's head, one of the voices belonging to him, but the others were unknown.

However, Adam did not pay attention to this at all. The site on which Adam published his work was also a publishing house. If the author got a good review from the editors, his book would be printed.

And if sales prove to be good, his book could even be adapted into a movie!

After writing his answer, Adam began to gather his thoughts. This was a chance he wouldn't miss for anything!

The next day...

Adam walked out of the house and locked the door and got into the cab he had called a couple of minutes ago. After telling the cab driver the address, Adam took out his phone and looked at the book "Shadows of Death.

The book performed well and Adam has already gotten over 500,000 views and 457,000 have added the book to his collection. Monetization, all the more pleasing to his weary eyes!

"$587! And that's only for the second day!", Adam tried to hold back a smile so he wouldn't sound like an idiot.

Finally, his spending began to pay off. Besides, given the offer of cooperation, Adam would get rich.

With the squeak of brakes, the car stopped in front of a high-rise. Adam got out of the car and his eyes sparkled with nostalgia.

"The last time I came here was a year ago," Adam smiled bitterly, remembering his past.
