2023-03-20 04:07:30The next morning after Aron woke up, as soon as he rose from his bed, suddenly a voice rang in his mind saying, "SAY STATUS"
"What? STATUS?" and since he was still in a disoriented state from his sleep, Aron simply muttered what he had heard in his head in a confused manner.
However, the system didn't care whether it really was his intention or not. What mattered to it was whether the magic word was mentioned or not, and it was.
So right after Aron uttered the word trying to shake off his sleep, a blue screen suddenly appeared in front of him, displaying a series of information.

Just as his face was about to show some fear after witnessing a random screen suddenly pop in front of his face out of nowhere, a large amount of information started being flooded into his brain, overwhelming him to the point where he even forgot to express his fear.
And once it was completed being crammed into his head, the information started to assimilate within his mind till it reached to a point where it felt as if he had known every last detail about this information for years.
After a while when everything was done, Aron took a moment to immediately calm himself down before he started to review the new knowledge which he had acquired, seemingly out of nowhere.
Firstly, he learned how the system worked.
The system contained a vast amount of knowledge and it was in almost every field he could have even thought of, but if he wanted to get access to this kind of knowledge, Aron needed to buy them using System Points (SP).
And in order to buy them, all he needed to do was search for what he wanted and the system would provide a list with their corresponding prices. After selecting what kind of knowledge he wanted and purchasing it, the knowledge would then be assimilated into his brain, allowing him to completely understand it, after which he would be able to immediately use it.
Currently, there are only two ways for Aron to earn SP, one of which was the obvious one which was to complete the quests that were assigned by the system, but right now he only had one quest on the quest window and from the information that had been transferred to him not long ago, he could tell that it might be his only quest for a very long time.
And unless he did something unexpected or proved himself to be worthy enough for the system's standard, he wouldn't get any additional quests.
Another way for him to get SP was by utilizing the knowledge he received from the system by using it to create something useful, and that would later be analysed and graded by the system.
And depending on the grade points he will be assigned by the system as a reward, however, all the analysing, grading and rewarding of points would be done in the background so as not to constantly interrupt him, still, Aron could ask the system to show him his grades as a means for him to evaluate his products.
The system was using this method in order to encourage him to innovate and offer real-time rewards for it in the form of SP for his creations.
However, the system wasn't as merciless as one would think of it to be, it made sure that he doesn't start with zero SP by awarding 100,000 SP as a starter pack so as to prevent him from wasting a long time to earn points for a system he doesn't even know the importance of.
Another piece of information that he received from this new information was about the system's origin, but whenever Aron tried to contemplate it even in the slightest, all he saw was a string of random letters and voices which he couldn't understand.
And realizing that he couldn't understand it for the time being, Aron gave up trying to know about it until he had more time and had gotten used to the system.
The final aspect of the information given to him was about Runemaster, mentioned as his class in the list of the panel, but he only found its meaning and nothing other than that which puzzled him even more since it was listed in the panel before.
Since his body hasn't evolved for magic use and the system couldn't connect to the main server, all it could grant him was a fraction of the powers of a Runemaster, which was to inscribe runes on objects in order to influence the object's behavior or give them some properties. (He could escribe a firewood to have cold properties and when the firewood was burned, the fire emitted from it would be cold rather than hot.)
However, the information on how to use runes and all the other details about it were not provided to him, leaving him curious with just the short explanation at hand, as he was really curious and wanted to have more information about it, unfortunately, that was also left for later.
After spending about 30 minutes while accepting his current reality, Aron got up from his bed and headed to the bathroom to freshen himself up and prepare for the day.
...
When he left his room after cleaning himself, Aron headed to the dining table in order to join along with his family for breakfast and that was when he noticed his mother had her eyes swollen.
This sight pained him deeply since he knew that his mother must likely not have slept last night and spent a significant amount of time crying for her to have swollen eyes.
And since he knew the reason behind it, nothing but anger surged within him as he vowed to not let his family live through such a situation again and was also even more resolved to find what or who was the cause of his unfair expulsion in order to exact his revenge 100 fold for that person was responsible for making his mother cry.
He ate his breakfast quietly and refrained from bringing up the topic since it seemed like Rose was trying to hide her distress from him.
After breakfast he went back to his room, feeling that he needed to have a deep contemplation, a plan to make something, a future to plan and a debt to repay.
However, he had to start from somewhere at the very least.
....
Seven hours later, Aron left his room, wearing jogging clothes as he had a quest to complete.
During the time he spent in his room, Aron had been exploring maybe one of the most important features that came with the system, the System Shop.
When he started delving around in the shop, Aron discovered different branches of knowledge, filled with every technology he could think of. The only thing separating him and the knowledge were the System Points (SP), of which he had very few compared to the price of what he wanted to buy from the system.
So, after spending a few hours and sorting things based on price, Aron managed to find something that he could currently use in order to start earning money and get out of his massive debt.

Aron chose this program because he could use it as a means to earn money faster and repay his debt much more quickly, sparing any trouble that could cause his parents to have a heart attack if they learned about it later.
Additionally, it was easy for him to think of ways to utilize it since it was based on knowledge about what he had been studying as his major in University, so the barrier of entry for him was as low as it could possibly get.
After deciding what direction he wanted to go, Aron purchased the knowledge and then suddenly started having a headache of his life as the knowledge was being downloaded and assimilated into his brain, being made ready for him to use, but since he fainted, all those processes that happened went pretty unnoticeable for him.
And when he woke up, Aron realized that he now possessed a whole new knowledge that delved deep into how he could make the program. He could also simply extract a small part of the program's code and apply it to other places, as it gave him a comprehensive understanding and everything related to the subject of the knowledge.
So, he thought that it was worth the headache he had before fainting.
[ SP amount left: 0 ]
As he looked at his current amount of SP which had reached ZERO, Aron felt a bit sad for not having an infinite amount of SP, where he could have just learned everything that fancied him and his plans, without having to worry about meticulously planning anything to the very last detail in order to conserve SP.
So, he stood up, changed his clothes and went for a run as he had a daily quest to complete.
He was determined to earn the points, no matter how small they may be, they were points nevertheless.
And so, his journey with the system started with him rushing to complete one Punchman's workout and knowing that someone was in for a face-slapping moment of their life.
Only if they knew it. X3.

Aron rose from the ground, his breathing turned ragged and laboured after an intense series of push-ups on the grassy expanse of the park. As he tried to steady his breathing, he began to jog, his movements smooth and effortless as he traversed across the verdant landscape. With each stride he took, he felt the muscles of his legs come to life, his feet pounding the soft earth underneath them with a steady rhythm. The morning sun shone down on him, casting long shadows behind him as he ran through the open spaces, his senses attuned to the sights and sounds around him. Despite the challenge of the workout he had just completed, Aron continued to press on, pushing himself harder and harder with each passing moment. His breathing grew deeper and more measured, his body was also working in a perfect harmony as he ran with the power and grace like that of an athlete in his prime. And the young man continued to do so until a screen appeared in front of him. That was when he knew that his
Getting a Technology System in Modern Day Testing & Finding out
And soon enough, the program had already started testing every exploit that could be used to breach the University’s system's defences, rendering the firewall it was supposed to be protected with as ineffective as a tofu, just a touch it couldn’t even stand for more at all. While the University has invested a significant amount of money for the security of their system, when it was in the eyes of Aron's program, it looked like nothing more than a kid trying to fight against a tank. It was effortlessly ripped through, identifying and detailing every weakness, providing instructions on how even a beginner-level programmer could exploit the system. With the passing of the seventh hour since the system started going through the University’s System, Aron’s program still continued on exposing more and more vulnerabilities. There were several reasons why this process was taking such a long time to complete. Firstly, it was because Aron’s computer was cheap since his family couldn't affor
Getting a Technology System in Modern Day The First Target
After exploiting the vulnerabilities and gaining access to the university's database and finding out who it was who had been plotting for his misery, Aron managed to calm himself down and then shifted his focus towards earning money first in order to relieve himself from the debt so that it won't raise a negative situation in the future. With that, he decided to find his first target for his grand money-making plan. And since he needed a large amount of money, Aron needed to find the victim who would not only put way too much importance on their data security but also boasted a very large user base and wanted to prevent user data theft. This means that such a target will be willing to pay more money for his service, since a data leak for them may mean that they would lose their user’s trust in their security system. So, with all that in mind, Aron decided to focus on social media sites since they perfectly met all of his criteria. He then started investigating these platforms and ini

CAFE Aron arrived at the meeting place where he had planned to meet with Felix and give him a detailed explanation in order for him to prepare for the meeting with the F******k officials and negotiation with F******k. Three Minutes after Aron had gotten his drink, Felix arrived, shaking hands with Aron and giving him a hug. Aron's friend sat down on the opposite side. "How have you been coping since that day?" Felix asked with slight worry, he was aware of Aron’s condition and also thought that his friend wouldn’t have done such a thing. "Though, it was difficult at first, it has been going pretty well now, in fact, I'm even surprised at myself," Aron smiled while answering and waving his hand. Although he didn't explain the reason as to what was helping him cope or gave him hope, it didn't mean he wasn't grateful for it. Without the arrival of the system, it would have taken him longer to be able to recover and move on from what had happened to him, and since those nasty people

After a few days, it was finally time for the meeting with the group from F******k, and having provided with all the expenses, Aron and Felix didn't fret about anything and were now in the venue that was planned for the meeting to take place. The atmosphere in the meeting room was tense as the group of eight sat in their respective positions, with each side almost mirroring the other. On one side of the long conference table sat Aron, accompanied by his friend and lawyer Felix with a laptop in front of him displaying a folder labelled as "Sensitive Information" on the screen, and a USB flash drive inserted in the computer. On the opposite side sat six individuals, including Roxana, the head of security at F******k, along with five other people, three among which were lawyers and the other two were from the security department of the F******k site. Aron fidgeted in his seat, his eyes darting nervously from the screen to the faces of the people sitting across from him, as both sides
Getting a Technology System in Modern Day New House & Back to work
Aron and his family finally moved into their new house by the fourth week after their initial discussion that night. After purchasing the house, Aron bought two cars for his family’s use. His parents were overjoyed, knowing that they no longer had to worry about rent and other miscellaneous expenses. Initially, when he showed the house to his parents, they asked him to consider buying a more affordable one, because this one was very expensive. However, Aron managed to convince them by telling them that he had chosen this house since it would provide an easier access for his younger brother to the better schools around here which eventually made them agree to his purchase. The house was a spacious 6-bedroom property with a ground floor, an upper floor and a basement. Currently, they were using only 3 rooms, one for his parents, one for him, and one for his younger brother, while the rest were reserved for guests and other purposes. As for the basement, it became Aron’s personal sp

Near Pluto’s orbit, a massive space station was in the final stages of construction. Only the finishing touches and full-scale testing remained before it could officially open for use and visitation by imperial citizens.Spanning nearly a thousand kilometers in diameter—about a third of the Moon’s size—the station looked nothing like a natural satellite. Its sleek, glossy exterior was adorned with enormous glass panels, each manufactured in space. These panels stretched for kilometers in length and width, and hundreds of meters in thickness, allowing light to pass through effortlessly. Yet, they weren’t just for aesthetics. Equipped with advanced safety features, the glass could filter heat and radiation while controlling the amount of light passing through in a precise five-centimeter grid, ranging from full transparency to complete blackout. Additionally, they were reinforced to withstand asteroid impacts, a testament to the station’s durability and the prestige of its purpose.This
STARGATE Dressing Rehearsal
Aron sat before a stack of papers containing the final experiment data. Though he was in the universal simulation, he liked to switch up how he processed information, avoiding fatigue from relying on a single medium—especially since he spent what amounted to centuries conducting experiments in accelerated simulation time.{From the tests, it works as expected,} Nova, his ever-present assistant, stated once she was sure he had finished reviewing the data."I know, but let’s do a real full-dress rehearsal," Aron replied, lifting his gaze from the papers.He always insisted on a full-scale trial before declaring any research complete. Unlike the universal simulation, where things could be conjured at will, the real world required careful logistical considerations. Even a flawless design could become an operational nightmare if mobilization wasn’t accounted for.{Okay,} Nova acknowledged, and in an instant, they both vanished from the lab, reappearing in the vast emptiness of space, far f
Discussion and Finalizations
It took Nyx several hours to sift through the vast amount of data collected before she was ready to deliver her findings.“Using the asteroid field as a natural cosmic phenomenon to mask the wormhole’s opening worked in our favor. As far as we can tell, no one in the vicinity detected it,} Nyx stated as she began her report.A scientist in the room frowned. "There were people where we opened the wormhole? What are the odds of that?"Nyx responded immediately.“While the natural occurrence of life in the galaxy is rare, remember that we are infiltrating Conclave territory. Intelligent life is abundant here. Furthermore, asteroid fields serve as valuable resource hubs for spacefaring civilizations, which greatly increases the likelihood of encountering activity.}As she spoke, the room’s environment transformed, shifting into a massive asteroid field—a direct projection of the data collected. Nyx had opted to show rather than tell, planning to let the simulation play before diving into
Tempting Fate
Crack!Had there been air to carry the sound, that would have been the noise echoing through space. Instead, there was only silence as the fabric of space fractured—a jagged crack forming for the briefest of moments.A small, round object emerged, slipping through the gap before it sealed itself shut, leaving no trace of its existence. The only evidence that anything had occurred was the lone sphere, now drifting amid the vastness of space.Roughly the size of a football, the sphere remained still for only a moment before it came to life. It scanned its surroundings, finding itself deep within an asteroid field, surrounded by tumbling rocks and frozen comet nuclei.Without hesitation, the object accelerated, weaving through the chaotic debris field with ease and with no visible propulsion method. Tiny blue sparks flickered from its surface each time it passed near an asteroid or an icy fragment, scattering briefly before fading into nothingness.It was collecting data.Its movement fo
The Test II
Yaloria’s gaze shifted to the battery status display. Despite the intensity of the fight so far, only about one percent of the mana battery’s energy had been expended—and even that was already nearly replenished.It was a stark contrast to the mechas she once piloted.The Yrall Coalition mechas were directly powered by their reactors, like plugging a device straight into a wall socket—efficient until something went wrong. If the reactor failed or was damaged, the mecha would instantly shut down, leaving its pilot stranded and vulnerable.But these mechas were different.Instead of drawing power directly from the fusion reactor, they ran on mana batteries—a buffer between the machine and its core power source. These batteries didn’t just store energy; they were constantly recharged by the reactor, keeping them at full capacity. More than that, they were embedded throughout the mecha’s frame, like blood flowing through a body, ensuring every part had immediate access to power.Even if t
The Test I
A few minutes before the fight began, an alarm blared across the testing grounds, and all personnel in the vicinity received an immediate evacuation order. Given the low number of individuals present, the process was completed in under a minute.Once the area was cleared, a massive shield dome began forming, expanding to cover a thirty-kilometer diameter and reaching a height of five kilometers. This barrier ensured that nothing occurring inside would escape—critical for a semi-live fire test.Outside the dome, the evacuated soldiers gathered, their eyes fixed on the transparent section of the shield, which projected a live feed of the battle about to unfold."Thank God they sent us to move those boxes," Charlie muttered, his voice brimming with excitement.On the screen, two towering mechas stood a kilometer apart, weapons drawn, locked in an intense stare-down. His earlier complaints about manual labor were long forgotten—he knew he was about to witness history.This was the first-e

BAM!! A heavy thud echoed as a box was set down, the sound hinting at its weight.“We have tractor-beam technology at our disposal, so why are we hauling these things by hand? Isn’t this a waste of both resources and our valuable time?” Charlie, a soldier in an Imperial army uniform, grumbled as he straightened his back and headed toward the remaining boxes they needed to move.Despite his complaints, there was no hesitation in his movements, creating a stark contrast between his words and actions.“You’re already using anti-gravity devices to carry them, so what are you whining about? Besides, we’re in a testing zone—do you really think they’d let us use high-end tech and risk a disaster mid-experiment?” his friend retorted, dropping his box before jogging to catch up.“Laziness is the mother of innovation. Do you think we’d have advanced this far if we weren’t too lazy to repeat the same tasks for centuries? And if that were really their concern, they could just disable the equipmen
Monthly Report
John lifted his head from the piles of documents in front of him, his expression calm but carrying the weight of responsibility."How is the progress of our preparations?"At this moment, few individuals in the empire were busier than him. As the overseer of the entire imperial military, he was tasked with preparing for the massive military restructuring, ensuring every division was ready for the upcoming changes. His monthly progress reports to the emperor demanded at least an intermediate understanding of every research project under his jurisdiction. Though he could have had the research heads report directly, John insisted on personally understanding each project—an exhausting endeavor, made possible only through knowledge assimilation and time acceleration technology.A response quickly followed, {I have already finished decrypting all of the information we collected during the war and from the captured Xalthar’s ship. Nyx is currently already running training simulations with th
A Journey Into the Unknown
While the emperor remained engrossed in his work, Mars—still concealed from all external sensors—was undergoing significant modifications. The planetary shield, which doubled as a stealth veil, was in the process of receiving a major upgrade.When the emperor had first deployed the shield, he had also integrated it with a rune-computer interface, allowing the shield’s runes to be controlled and adjusted through computational input rather than manual intervention. Now, this interface was being augmented with the newly developed stealth technology, a fusion of imperial advancements and Shadari stealth techniques.Once the system was activated, the planetary shield itself remained unchanged, but a new outermost veil formed around it, acting as the first line of stealth defense. This additional layer further reinforced Mars’ invisibility, making detection by any known technology even more improbable.However, the original stealth properties of the shield were not disabled. Instead, they r
