Looking at his status window after just one week, Christian felt a sense of accomplishment. His Basic Trading skill was even nearing level seven, and it was likely to transform from Basic to Intermediate after level ten—meaning just a little more than three days.

And he would finally start working to get the MONEY, the first step towards his great NEET life. Christian couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement just imagining it.

"Chris, you are getting late for school."

Interrupting his imagination was his sister Annabelle's shouting. And looking at the watch, realizing how late it was getting, he quickly grabbed his school bag, slung it over his shoulder, and headed out.

"I'm going then, Sis"

Shouting back to her from the entrance, Christian was starting another boring day of his. However, feeling his energy levels dropping quickly, he tried to think more positively, imagining how he could one day reminisce about his youthful days with his future girlfriends.

About how these days were fun, filled with precious memories. Meaning they will become beautified and something memorable, despite clearly not being so.

Going by feet toward his high school as it was nearby, Christian was reminded that he lives in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania which is considered a medium-sized city while clearly not.

Walking along the river side and noticing the other students, both male and female, walking in pairs or larger groups, Christian couldn't help but think of the ultimate goal: 'Getting a girlfriend.'

He was reminded of his last year in middle school when a girl confessed to him because of his handsome appearance. They dated for nearly a month before she broke up with him, because of silly reasons like 'I don't feel loved at all.

When we go to some dates you will always look at your phone and ignore me.' and the long list she delivered to him still continued with lack of understanding, incompatibility, communication issues, feeling like he was trying to change her, and not being given the priority and attention she wanted.

Like what the fuck? Who was the one who confessed in the first place? Would he change for her if she, the one who confessed didn't feel the need to? Clearly no.

Her exaggerated reasons and her failure to accept him as he was aside, Christian still wanted someone to spend time with—a girlfriend. He just didn't feel like actively searching for one, and was waiting for the ideal girl to appear in front of him.

And it's not like the one Tera hard disk hidden in his room wasn't helping with his waiting at all.

But still after she broke up with him, some rumors started spreading about him, making him even more isolated at school. And since he didn't bother to defend himself, the rumors got worse and stuck to him. It was even strange that he didn't get bullied, but maybe he could attribute it to his handsome appearance, and no one wanted to blasphemy it?

Putting aside his nonsense, Christian arrived at the school entrance and happened to see the first beauty of his high school just stepping out from the clearly expensive car.

Her long blonde hair fluttered by the wind, her clear blue eyes and white skin stood out, and her above-average height with the slim waist made her even more striking. She wore the school's unified uniform: a blue jacket and a skirt.

She was undeniably beautiful, and in the past, Christian would have thought she was out of his reach. But now, he wondered if he should consider her as a prospect for dating, even if it was just for her appearance.

With such silly thoughts like she was just waiting for him to take the first step and then would immediately throw herself at him, Christian continued on his way toward his class, ignoring the murmurs from behind him, and the clearly unnecessary attention she was receiving.

…

Arriving in his classroom and taking his seat in the middle of the room, next to the wall, Christian's gaze drifted to the last desk by the window, the protagonist's desk. He would have loved to try sitting there, but unfortunately, he never had the chance.

Turning his head back to the front, Christian noticed there was still some time before the first period started. And with nothing better to do, he decided to go back to sleep.

It was a long, exhausting day, but, as usual, nothing of importance happened.

Upon returning home, Christian received the accumulated Idle Practicing, then continued with his day.

…

Three day passed

It was Friday at night, with the weekend right after, Christian was feeling double happiness right now. As today he didn't receive the accumulated information immediately after coming of the school but waited till now, so that after receiving them, his basic Trading skill would evolve. and he would finally start real trading and begin amassing money.

Opening the the Idle practicing window and looking at it first.

[First Slot - Trading - 14:20:20/24:00:00]

[Second Slot - Trading - 14:20:50/24:00:00]

After envisioning the happiness that was soon to come, he willed his system to receive the accumulated knowledge at last.

[You have received 31 Experience]

[The skill Basic Trading had become Lv.10(90%)]

[The skill Basic Trading had passed the caped level and become Intermediate Trading Lv.1(4%)]

Feeling the huge amount of information being drilled into his brain, Christian was delighted, especially knowing how it came to him without any efforts.

Reading the system messages and confirming his hypothesis made him even more joyful.

Then he opened his system window, eager to see if there would be any changes.
