Chapter 5: The Rules of the New World

The roommates continued their journey through the enigmatic landscape, their steps guided by determination and curiosity. As they walked, a familiar yet eerie sensation washed over them—the feeling that they were being watched, that their every move was being observed by an unseen force.

Without warning, the translucent window materialized before them once more, its appearance accompanied by a subtle hum. The words it displayed held their gaze, outlining the rules of this perplexing new reality.

**Mission: Become the World's Richest Person

Time Limit: Your Life

Reward: Unknown

Penalty: Unknown**

But beneath these words, new text appeared, forming the rules that would shape their journey:

**Rules of the New World:**

1. **Mission Focus:** Your sole mission is to earn money. All actions must align with this goal.

2. **Earnings Within Rights:** You have the freedom to do anything within the boundaries of your rights to earn money.

3. **Income Evaluation:** The extent of your rights will be evaluated based on your income. Greater income leads to greater privileges.

4. **Available Jobs:** Similar to your previous world, various jobs and opportunities are available here as well.

5. **Necessities Through Money:** Basic necessities, such as food and shelter, are attained through the use of money.

The roommates exchanged glances as the rules settled in their minds. Nikshay couldn't hide his excitement, his eyes gleaming. "This is going to be a thrill, isn't it?"

Naman nodded, his expression a mix of wonder and determination. "We're in a world where money holds the key to everything. Let's figure out how to make it work for us."

Dhurv's analytical mind was already processing the possibilities. "Earning money is the means to gain rights and privileges. It's a game of economics, but one with higher stakes."

Gavi's thoughts aligned with those of his friends. "We'll have to adapt, learn the rules of this world, and strategize. If our mission is to become the richest, we'll rise to the challenge."

With the window fading away, the roommates continued on their path, their determination unshaken. As they moved forward, they couldn't shake the feeling that they were on the brink of an incredible adventure—one that would test their unity, their ingenuity, and their understanding of both this new world and themselves.

With each step, they embraced the unknown, ready to carve their own path and unravel the mysteries that awaited them.
