That night, the atmosphere inside the small house felt heavier than usual. The air was thick with unspoken tension, and every sound seemed to echo louder than it should. Luna sat on the edge of her bed, her back straight, sorting through her few belongings — but this time, her movements were calm, not hurried or desperate.
Outside her door, she could hear Rian and his mother whispering loudly enough for her to catch every word.
“Did you see how she talked to us today?” Rian’s voice was sharp and laced with frustration. “She actually dared to refuse giving us money! Where does she get that confidence from all of a sudden?”
Mrs. Siti clicked her tongue, sounding annoyed but also greedy. “That money didn’t fall from the sky, son. She must have hidden it all this time, pretending to be poor just to trick us. We have to get it out of her before she runs off with it.”
“I’ll talk to her tonight,” Rian said firmly. “She’s still my wife. Everything she has belongs to me and this family. If she won’t give it willingly, I’ll make her understand.”
Luna smiled faintly, a cold, knowing smile. She had expected this reaction. To them, she was still the same woman they could push around and control — they just hadn’t realized that the person they thought they knew no longer existed.
A soft glow appeared before her eyes, and the Infinite Wealth Panel lit up gently:
📋 ACTIVE MISSION
🔹 Title: Establish Independence
🔹 Requirement: Rent a fully furnished, comfortable apartment within 7 days
🔹 Time Remaining: 6 days 12 hours
🔹 Reward: 200,000,000 IDR + Skill: Property & Asset Management
🔹 Penalty: None
Luna read the words, and a warm rush of determination filled her chest. “Independence,” she thought. “That’s exactly what I’ve been craving for years — and now, I finally have the power to take it.”
Just then, the door was thrown open roughly. Rian stood there, his face twisted with anger and greed, his chest heaving slightly. Behind him, Mrs. Siti peeked in with a stern, demanding look.
“Luna!” Rian barked, stepping into the room. “What is the meaning of your attitude today? You walk around like you own the place, you refuse to give us even a little money — have you forgotten your place in this family?”
Luna didn’t even look up at first. She slowly folded her clothes, her fingers moving with steady grace, before finally lifting her gaze to meet his. Her eyes were calm, clear, and held no trace of the fear or sadness he was used to seeing.
“My place?” she repeated softly, her voice carrying a quiet strength that made Rian pause for half a second. “For three years, I knew exactly my place — I was the one who cooked, cleaned, washed your clothes, and handed over every single rupiah I earned. I was the one who took every insult and every harsh word without answering back. But today… I decide what my place is.”
Rian stared at her, stunned by the change in her tone. He had never heard her speak like this — so firm, so sure of herself. It felt like talking to a completely different person.
“Don’t you dare get smart with me!” he shouted, stepping closer and raising a hand as if to strike her. “You’re nothing without me! If I say you give me the money, you give it — or you get out of this house right now!”
Luna didn’t flinch. She just stood up slowly, her posture straight and unshaken. “You want me to leave? Fine. I was planning to do that anyway.”
Rian froze, his hand hanging in mid-air. Mrs. Siti rushed in, her voice rising in panic. “Are you crazy? Where will you go? You have no money, no home, no family to take you in! Once you leave this house, you’ll be begging on the streets in no time!”
A gentle, almost pitying smile touched Luna’s lips. She reached into her bag, pulled out her phone, and tapped the screen. Holding it out so both of them could see clearly, she let the balance display bright and sharp:
💳 CURRENT BALANCE: 54,675,000 IDR
Their eyes went wide, and their mouths fell open as if they had seen a ghost. Fifty-four million — more than they both earned in half a year combined. Mrs. Siti’s face turned pale, then red, as greed battled with shock inside her.
“You… you have this much?” Rian stammered, his anger vanishing instantly, replaced by a desperate, flattering tone. “Luna, my dear wife… why didn’t you tell us sooner? We were just worried about you, that’s all. How can you leave your own husband and mother-in-law? We are family, everything we have is shared!”
Luna shook her head slowly, her voice turning cold and distant. “Family? You treated me like a servant, like garbage, like a burden that had to be tolerated. You called me useless, a parasite, good for nothing. Now that you see money, suddenly I’m your dear wife? That is not family — that is just greed speaking.”
She slung her bag over her shoulder and walked past them, not stopping even when they tried to reach out and grab her arm. She moved with such confidence that they instinctively stepped back, as if afraid to touch someone who suddenly felt far above them.
“I will leave this house tomorrow morning,” she said without turning back. “From that day on, we have nothing more to do with each other. Don’t look for me, don’t call me, and don’t ever expect to get anything from me again.”
Before they could find words to reply, she walked out of the room, locked the door from the inside, and leaned against it, letting out a long, slow breath. Her heart was beating fast, but it was not from fear — it was from relief, from the feeling of finally breaking free from the chains that had held her down for so long.
The next morning, the sun rose bright and clear, painting the sky in soft shades of gold and orange. Luna packed the last of her things — not much, but enough to carry her old life away. She opened the front door and stepped out into the fresh morning air, and for the first time in years, she didn’t feel like she was leaving a home. She felt like she was walking into a whole new world.
The Infinite Wealth Panel appeared before her, its light steady and warm:
💡 SYSTEM UPDATE
Host: Luna Andari
Level: 2 → Progress: 45/100
New Access: Local Property Listings
Luna smiled. She opened the system’s built-in listing, and hundreds of options appeared — from simple apartments to luxury units in the best parts of the city. Thanks to the new Property & Asset Management skill, she could instantly tell which ones were worth the price, which had good locations, and which offered the best value.
She didn’t rush. She took her time, walking through the city, visiting places that once felt too expensive or out of reach. By noon, she stood in front of a three-bedroom apartment in a quiet, safe neighborhood, close to the city center and surrounded by greenery. The rooms were bright, clean, and fully furnished — everything she needed to start fresh.
When the landlord heard her offer and saw her payment method, he didn’t hesitate. Within two hours, all the paperwork was signed, the deposit and first month’s rent were paid, and the keys were placed in her hand.
As she stepped inside her new home, Luna walked from room to room, touching the furniture, looking out the window at the peaceful street below. It felt like a dream — but it was real. This was hers. No one could yell at her here, no one could insult her, no one could tell her she didn’t belong.
Suddenly, the panel flashed brightly:
✅ MISSION COMPLETED!
🔹 Apartment Secured: 12 months lease

🎁 REWARDS RECEIVED:

💳 UPDATED BALANCE: 246,175,000 IDR
Two hundred million added in one go! Luna’s eyes widened, and a laugh of pure joy escaped her lips. She fell back onto the soft sofa, looking up at the ceiling, tears of happiness welling in her eyes.
“This is only the start,” she whispered to herself. “Just wait — I will build a life so grand, so full, that everyone who ever looked down on me will one day realize how small they really are.”
As if answering her thoughts, the panel refreshed again, showing a brand new line of glowing text:
🔔 NEW MAIN MISSION UNLOCKED

🔹 Requirement: Establish a registered company or business within 14 days
🔹 Reward: 1,000,000,000 IDR + Advanced Business Strategy Skill

Luna wiped her tears, sat up straight, and looked at the words with fire burning in her eyes. One billion rupiah — and the knowledge to grow even more.
She stood up, walked to the large window, and looked out at the city stretching far into the distance. Her journey had truly begun. And this time, there was no turning back.
