My Ultimate Sign-in System Made Me Invincible

Chapter 659: Unmatched Sheer Velocity Of The New World Order

More than twenty-four hours had passed since Nova Technologies published the Month 7 Transparency Report, and the global conversation had not slowed down in the slightest.

If anything, the initial shock had hardened into a deep, permanent realization that the foundations of the global economy were being rewritten from outside the atmosphere.

The mathematics of the disclosure were being dissected by every financial analyst, labor economist, and retail investor on the planet.

The report revealed that a total of over ten point one billion dollars had been distributed directly to creators and independent artists across the gaming, studio, and music ecosystems in a single thirty-day period.

Because the use of high-tier creative tools and native streaming monetization was restricted exclusively to registered holders of the Lucid device, this massive pool of capital was divided among just fifty thousand active users.

Statistically, if that ten point one billion dollars had been distributed completely evenly, every single Lucid user on Earth would have received a minimum average of more than two hundred thousand dollars for a single month of creative output.

Of course, the wealth was not distributed evenly, but the reality was far more staggering. With top anonymous streamers and independent creators clearing anywhere from one hundred and fifty million to a record-breaking three hundred and twenty-two million dollars in a single month, Nova Technologies had once again demonstrated the sheer power behind its strict policy of exclusivity and deliberate scarcity.

By keeping the total inventory of active devices incredibly tight, the company had ensured that entering the ecosystem was equivalent to receiving a golden ticket into an entirely new social and financial class.

Yet, despite the massive gap between the top earners and the rest of the user base, no one within the ecosystem was complaining.

A monthly payout of three hundred and twenty-two million dollars was an unimaginable sum of wealth, an amount that obliterated the lifelong earnings of standard corporate executives in a matter of weeks.

When the public factored in the historical data from the previous months, it became clear that the highest-earning anonymous creators had systematically cleared between three hundred million and over six hundred million dollars—more than half a billion dollars each—over the past six months alone.

Facing numbers of this magnitude, the traditional allure of standard employment was completely disintegrating. Elite software engineers, senior corporate lawyers, and highly skilled financial analysts were quietly abandoning their careers, spending their days desperately trying to optimize their network setups to win the sub-second lottery of the monthly pre-order gates.

The concept of working a traditional nine-to-five job for a fixed annual salary felt increasingly absurd when a single independent music track or a serialized animated show on LucidNet could secure absolute financial independence in less than a day.

To make the situation even more intense for those watching from the outside, the minimum baseline earnings across the entire ecosystem had continued to increase with every single report.

While Nova Technologies deliberately chose not to include a combined creator earnings overview in the official text, market analysts and independent accountants had spent the last day calculating the internal curves based on the separate gaming, music, and studio distributions.

According to their published estimations, the baseline floor earnings for the bottom fifty percent of creators—the absolute lowest tier of active users on the platform—had surged from the previous month’s baseline of sixty-nine thousand dollars to somewhere between eighty thousand and one hundred thousand dollars for Month 7.

This shifting floor was what kept the Internal Revenue Service and every major state tax agency in a state of continuous, white-hot panic. If the analysts’ estimations were even remotely accurate, the combined earnings of the bottom fifty percent alone represented hundreds of millions, if not billions, of dollars in raw income flowing directly into the hands of private citizens.

Under standard economic conditions, tax authorities would have already issued immediate freeze orders, audit notices, and mandatory corporate withholding decrees to capture their share of the transaction at the source. They were entirely desperate to levy heavy percentages on these historic payouts to fund state deficits and maintain institutional control over domestic wealth.

But the architecture of Nova’s financial loop made standard intervention practically impossible.

The transparency report confirmed that the moment a creator chose to execute a withdrawal from their digital dashboard, the funds did not pass through the traditional clearinghouses or local commercial retail networks.

Instead, via the system-level JP Morgan integration, the capital was instantly and seamlessly transferred into a specified high-yield account or custom wealth structure of the user’s choice.

Because Nova Technologies maintained no physical server architecture, no corporate registration, and no operational assets within the borders of any sovereign nation on Earth, the tax agencies had zero legal or electronic visibility over the money while it was in transit.

The United States government could still technically attempt to tax the wealth once it settled into domestic accounts, but their leverage was severely restricted.

Every single Lucid user had essentially become a wealthy individual by default, and the top twenty percent of creators were clearing enough monthly revenue to directly compete with ultra-high-net-worth individuals who had spent generations accumulating their fortunes.

It was a rapid, unprecedented shift in how wealth was generated on Earth, bypassing the traditional industrial complexes and legacy financial markets entirely.

And the single greatest beneficiary of this capital migration was not even the creators themselves, but JP Morgan.

By anchoring its institutional wealth management infrastructure directly into the unified creator dashboard, the firm had secured an absolute monopoly on the most fluid, rapid accumulation of capital in human history.

For Month 7 alone, the bank’s systems would process over ten billion dollars in direct creator withdrawals, coming immediately on the heels of the six point seven billion dollars that’s still processing for Month 6.

With a combined total of almost seventeen billion dollars in pure, high-velocity capital flowing into their private management structures in a matter of sixty days, the financial institution was experiencing the most spectacular, profitable run in its entire corporate history.

The bank’s major shareholders and institutional board members were beyond happy. They recognized that their exclusive connection to Nova’s ecosystem was a golden shield, a mechanism that was systematically pulling the world’s wealth away from their Wall Street competitors and burying it directly within their own vaults.

To protect this unprecedented windfall, the institution’s leadership was actively pulling every corporate, political, and regulatory string available to them in Washington.

They were utilizing their immense lobbying leverage to ensure the federal government did not push too hard on tax audits or attempt to pass restrictive legislation that might disrupt the off-world financial loop. Their defensive strategy was working exceptionally well, keeping the regulatory agencies entirely at bay.

The direct result of this financial checkmate was visible on the stock tickers. A few hours after the transparency report dropped, investors and global sovereign wealth funds poured an immense wave of capital into the firm, driving JP Morgan’s total market valuation past the historic three-point-one-trillion-dollar mark.

This staggering increase instantly secured the bank a permanent position among the top five most valuable companies in the world. Amidst the continuous, cascading fall of standard corporate stocks—which were systematically turning to ash as Nova Technologies restructured the global telecommunications, entertainment, and medical markets with every product launch—JP Morgan had transformed into the ultimate financial sanctuary.

It was an umbrella stock, the single safest asset on Earth for institutional investors who needed to park their trillions in a vehicle that was directly tied to the growth of the new world order.

Yet, while the shareholders celebrated the three-trillion-dollar milestone, the reality inside the operational center of the bank was entirely different.

For James Whitlock, the senior executive handling the high-level coordination, the historic valuation did not arrive with a sense of relief. It arrived as a crushing, physical burden.

Inside his private office overlooking the financial district, the silence was broken only by the continuous, soft chiming of his secure communication lines.

Whitlock sat deep in his leather chair, his face pale and his temples throbbing under the weight of an absolute avalanche of administrative demands.

The sheer volume of new paperwork required to legally structure, track, and shield the incoming billions of creator dollars while satisfying international compliance laws was stretching his elite executive team to its absolute breaking point.

To make matters worse, the brief, non-narrative teaser dropped at the absolute conclusion of the transparency report had thrown the global elite into a state of high frenzy.

The subtle forward outlook mentioning the imminent countdown to the launch of "Nova Express" had caused his private lines to ring continuously for twenty-four hours.

Sovereign wealth managers, high-ranking military logistics directors, global airline executives, and tech billionaires were flooding his office with urgent inquiries.

They were entirely desperate to know what the new service would entail, whether it signaled a physical transition into global transportation infrastructure, and—most importantly—if it was among the confidential parameters discussed during his last high-level meeting with Liam Scott.

Whitlock leaned forward, rubbing his eyes as another secure light began to flash on his desk. He looked at the interactive screen displaying the bank’s three-point-one-trillion-dollar valuation, then at the massive, unread stack of regulatory filings waiting for his physical signature.

The wealth was real, the checkmate was absolute, but the sheer velocity of Liam’s world order was leaving absolutely no time to breathe. He reached out, picked up the pen, and went back to work.
