The Thirty Day Problem
The premise
Tobias Kessler keeps goal for a fifth-division club in a city that forgot his family's name — until a dying great-uncle names him heir to twelve billion marks, on one impossible condition. Spend a fortune in a month, own nothing at the end, and never say why. But everything he buys to lose starts to win, and the clock is already running.

How it opens
The changing room still smells of liniment and wet kit. You're peeling off your gloves when the woman in the too-good coat lays a document on the bench between you and reads it in a flat, careful voice, like a weather report for a coast you'll never sail.
Augustin Kessler is dying. He has named you.
Twelve billion marks — on a condition. Spend one billion in thirty days. Own nothing on the thirtieth: no house, no shares, no cash. Nothing you buy can be given away, gambled off, or broken; every mark must be really spent. Tell no living soul why — not your mother, not the auditor they'll send. Fail, or speak, and it all goes to a foundation for old shipwrecks, and you go back to the net. …
The story picks up from here — start a save and it answers to you.
