Chapter 17: Reaching a milestone
When the month was up I had to go to the hospital to have me do the obligatory check-up. They were a little surprised that I got a stronger body than before. But this time I came prepared. In the last month I used most of the money from the art laundry business to pay a few influential and crook medics to fund their research and they, in turn, they could deviate the attention of the medical community to another place. The first checkup a month was a nightmare of non-ending test exams, that I had no choice to do because I didn't have any money or anyone backing me up.
With money at hand, you can become friends of anyone, for example, a near-bankrupt hospital for diverging founds that I got a hold of that information because of rumors on the internet. He was wary of me, but a <Life Dealer> contract is the most reliable thing I have on me. With that on hand, I easily got a list of crook medics that I could give them money for diverge the attention of the medical community. Of course, all of these deals made them forget about me since it was a one-time deal kind of things. Since they didn't exchange lifespan with me I could make another contract if I wanted to. I noted their names and hospitals on a notepad that I kept on my <Inventory> for future uses.
You won't know when you would need a bunch of crooks medics on your payroll.
The anomalies on my test were attributed to my grown metabolism since a grown man could keep growing until he reaches 25 years old. I was finally free of their attention after two months, it was amazing what power and connections could do on this world.
I kept going to pubs, nightclubs and sports centers to reach young and easy to fool people. While spamming <Lachesis Eyes> all the time. I managed to get around 160 lifespans a month for around 8 Million, an average of 50k per year. Most of the people accepted 1 Million for 20 years of their lifespan. Easy peasy.
I could transfer up 10 Million per month selling one art piece for 2.5Million each week. I needed money I could sell one more.
Also, I kept training my [Stats]. After 2 months I reached the top ceiling of the INT so I switched to CHR since I couldn't do another psychical activity so much. How did I train that? Easy, going every weekend with Emily on a date. Trying to dig information while staying classy and casual. And on the week I practiced at night in the theater with an old famous actress that was teaching me.
After 3 more months, I reached the ceiling of both of STR and STA. So I switched working with a professional football coach of the European league to train SPD and AGI at the same time. Running while moving a ball with your feet even managed to increase my accuracy from D to D+ after only one month to my surprise.
After half a year of grinding my [Stats], I had 960 years of life. So I decided to spend it on the stats to be the most efficient way possible of leveling up. Also decided to buy 7 golden coins, I was one short to complete my next level, but I wait when all my grow stats are at maximum. My stats after that were:

************************************
It was almost the end of the year and decided to slow down for a little bit. Emily and I were finally a couple after a few months of persuasion so I decided that we were ready to present her to my family. My little brother was soon finishing this year of school.
While my mom stopped working because of my nagging about saying that we had enough money. I told her I founded a business in the entertainment sector and I was doing pretty well. And that was true. I modify a couple of clause to some directors that needed that extra cash to give me 15% of their profit each movie they make. And it was quite a sum when you have a couple of directors in your pocket. They would deposit that amount of money because if not a dreadful feeling will slowly stack up until they turn paranoid if they didn't.
Yes I investigated the extend of my power writing a clause. It seems that I have to write in a language that they understand and they clause could not be too extreme as they would die, or lose some functionalities on some of their limbs. The most extreme clause was from the silent pact that they couldn't talk about me since I'm reducing a part of their free will.
Ah, but making them feel fear, anxiety and other feelings was free game! But not too much. The best I could do is to make it grow in time to make them feel terrible. I'm a horrible person? No, I'm just a dealer, making sure that the deal is kept as intended.
The account where they deposit the money is the one from the foreign country. And I did so they can't tell anyone or record in anyway the bank account so it remains a mystery to them. And if someone looks at their bank account and detect this transaction the only thing that they remember is "a debt that must be paid" and that's all.
Since even if they investigate the account number is invisible and in another country is not likely to get traced back to me.
Anyway, in one month time, I'm gonna open a new business that I intend to make an empire. Thunder Eye Records. I bought the copyright of the company name from a bankrupt one. I liked that name because of the possibility of animations with thunders and making new cool intros every time I got bored. A silly reason but it was better than calling "glamour records" or "wisdom records" how the hell you animate that?
When I open my new record company new directors could transfer money and tell if other people keep digging that "they want to support this record company". And the problem was gone! You do with your money whatever you like no?
So I finally presented my girlfriend to my family. My mother was over the moon knowing that she was studying to become a doctor and my brother too was enthusiastically asking for tips on how to study better since she was "a university student". Apparently, my tips to remember things singing was not good enough for my little brother, well now he can't sing a biology test exam when he was drunk and I can!
The meeting with my family was really good, we were living together with Emily since my new apartment was big enough for both of us. And since I wasn't much time home and she wasn't too we only use it for showering and sleeping cuddling together.
I wanted to buy a new home from my family, but my mother didn't want to leave that old place behind. So I could only hire workers to renovate the roof, sewers, and all the electrical connections, plus a new brand kitchen that my mother adored. She loved to cook but didn't have time before!
She cooks really well, now that she was a home-staying mom, my brother calcifications soared and he got a little chubby with all the food my mom gave him. I teased him on and insisted on joining a swimming pool club, so now my coach trains him on a weekend to give him a little more edge than the rest of the kids.
We couldn't go out every weekend because she needed to study so I stayed and help her study with my improve INT. I made silly mistakes from time to time to get her feel more confident of her own intelligence. I asked her to stop working so she can focus on the university. She said no and absolute NO, since she didn't want to depend on anyone but herself to pay for her university expenses.
That was not the problem anyway, the problem is the number of hours needed of study for that type of job. Every year it gets more and more absurd amount of studying.
So we chatted and she finally agreed to leave her job and focus solely on studying, and housekeep (I told her that we could hire a maid or something like that and said that we are not rich enough, and besides she needed to pay it somewhere else besides cuddling).
We always joke like that, is a good relationship. Is not the kind of "she's the love of my life" but she's an excellent woman to spend time with.
And that was the end of my first year being an impostor god.
