Backstory

In a world where leaves fall endlessly each autumn, you are just an ordinary person with an old rake and an ambitious dream. Starting out as a humble yard cleaner in your neighborhood, you quickly realize that there's gold in those piles of leaves—and you're determined to rake in every last penny. Each leaf you rake means two paydays: the land owner and the consumers you resell those leaves to. Armed with nothing but your grit and a growing pile of leaves, you set out to transform your small-time raking gig into a leaf-raking empire. The world may see them as ordinary leaves, but to you, they’re the building blocks of a future landscaping monopoly.

As your business grows, so does your appetite for power—and creativity. The first few upgrades are innocent enough: a stronger rake, a trusty Leaf Roomba, maybe even a small ad campaign to attract curious customers. But soon, you’re pushing the boundaries of ethics and physics. GMO trees that rain leaves like confetti? Check. Leaf-fueled drones and enchanted brooms that sweep without rest? Absolutely. You don’t stop until every lawn, garden, and park has fallen under your leafy rule. With every upgrade, your influence spreads, and your leaf-clearing techniques grow increasingly… unconventional.

Before long, your leaf-raking monopoly sweeps across entire cities. Competitors crumble, forced to join your landscaping empire or disappear into obscurity. Customers line up for your overpriced “organic” leaves, while influencers boast about their luxury leaf decor. From humble beginnings to controlling the entire landscaping industry, you’ve proven that no dream—or pile of leaves—is too big to conquer.
