Chapter 8: Chapter 8 - The Path to Power

Dave sat on his plush leather couch in his new home, a sense of contentment washing over him. His bank account was nearing $100 million, and the changes in his life were astounding. With the system, everything felt possible. Today, he had one goal in mind: hit that $100 million milestone. He was going to push himself to reach it.

As Dave thought about his next purchase, the system notification popped into his head:

System Notification:

"Daily Mission: Complete 100 push-ups, 100 pull-ups, and run 10 KM. Reward: 5 ability points to distribute as you wish."

Dave smirked, thinking about how much stronger he was becoming with the daily exercises. 'I'll do the workout later,' he thought. Right now, his mind was focused on the investment front.

He had been purchasing high-end electronics from one of the most exclusive tech stores in the city, knowing that the returns from the system would push him closer to his financial goal. Today, he was buying a new gaming setup for $50,000.

System Notification:

"You have spent $50,000. Reward: $500,000 credited to your bank account."

Dave's grin widened as he saw his account balance hit $99.6 million. 'Almost there,' he thought. He needed just a little more to reach his goal, and that's when he remembered the luxury car dealership nearby.

He drove over in his sleek sports car, the very one he had received through the system earlier. This time, he had his eyes on a luxury boat, perfect for weekend getaways. After some negotiations, he bought it for $400,000.

System Notification:

"You have spent $400,000. Reward: $4,000,000 credited to your bank account."

As the notification flashed, Dave opened his banking app, and there it was: $103.6 million. He had done it. He had officially crossed the $100 million mark.

Before he could fully savor the moment, another notification appeared:

System Notification:

"Congratulations, Host! You have achieved a milestone. As a reward, you have unlocked the Weekly Mission feature."

Dave's curiosity piqued. 'What's the weekly mission about?'

Weekly Mission:

"Accumulate 50,000 System Points within the week. Failure to do so will result in penalties."

'System points, huh?' Dave thought. The amount of money required to convert into system points was immense, but the potential payoff in the form of skills was worth it.

Suddenly, another message flashed in his mind.

System Notification:

"Yearly Mission: Reach 1,000 points in each ability stat by the end of the year. Failure to do so will result in system penalties."

The yearly mission hit him hard. Reaching 1,000 points in all stats seemed almost impossible, especially considering his current stats were far below that.

As he was absorbing all of this, his phone buzzed. A message from his neighbor, Jack, popped up. "Hey, man, are you coming to the neighborhood dinner tonight? Some big shots will be there, people you should meet."

Dave hesitated. He wasn't much for socializing, but then he remembered how much his life had changed. He needed to start making connections, not just sitting on his fortune. 'I guess it's time to be seen.'

When Dave arrived at the dinner, he could feel the eyes on him. Some people recognized him, though they had no idea just how much his life had transformed. As he mingled, he overheard a conversation that made his heart race. One of the guests, a wealthy businessman, mentioned an investment opportunity in a mid-sized company that was looking for partners.

'This could be it,' Dave thought. He had the money to start working on investments now, rather than just spending aimlessly.

Later that night, after the dinner, Dave sat back in his house, reflecting on the day. He had hit his financial goal, unlocked new missions, and begun thinking more strategically. But there was one more thing the system had left him with.

System Notification:

"As an additional reward, the system grants you a skill: Perfect Negotiation."

Dave's eyes widened. A skill? This was something new.

Skill: Perfect Negotiation 

"Enhance your bargaining skills and ensure that any deal you make is in your favor."

Dave grinned. This skill could come in handy with future investments and purchases. But that wasn't all.

The system reminded him, in a subtle yet powerful way: "This journey is just beginning."

Hi guys, I've decided to change the system to be x10 instead of x100 :)

Chapter 9: Chapter 9 - The First Real Test

Dave sat at his kitchen table, staring at the system's weekly mission.

**Weekly Mission:** 

"Accumulate 50,000 System Points within the week. Failure to do so will result in penalties."

'50,000 system points,' he thought, doing the mental math. 'That's $50 million just to get 50 points. I can't keep spending like this, not at the rate I'm going.' Dave had barely started investing in mid-sized companies, and while he still had a hefty sum in his account, the sheer scale of the system's requirements was becoming clear.

He also couldn't forget about the yearly mission.

**Yearly Mission:** 

"Reach 1,000 points in each ability stat by the end of the year."

'My stats are nowhere close,' Dave admitted to himself. He had been getting stronger with his daily exercises, thanks to the system's missions, but 1,000 points in each stat? It felt nearly impossible.

He pushed the thought aside. 'I'll worry about the yearly mission later. Let's focus on getting through this week.' The idea of penalties hung over his head, and he wasn't about to find out what they would be. With a sigh, he decided to clear his head with a walk downtown. He needed some air to think.

---

As Dave wandered through the bustling streets, his mind kept circling back to the system. He had already accumulated some wealth, and now he needed to think strategically. If he wanted to hit those 50,000 system points, he'd have to invest even more. 'Maybe another company, or perhaps some high-value assets,' he mused. The idea of spending that much money again weighed on him, but he was already committed.

His thoughts were interrupted when he turned down a quieter street, the sounds of the city fading behind him. As he strolled, a sudden chill ran down his spine. Something didn't feel right.

Out of nowhere, a man appeared from the alley, his face hidden under a hoodie. The man brandished a knife and blocked Dave's path. His eyes flickered with menace as he sized Dave up. "Hand over the watch and wallet, and no one gets hurt," the man growled, stepping closer.

Dave blinked, momentarily shocked. His instincts kicked in, adrenaline coursing through his body. He had received points from the daily missions over the past week, and this was his first real chance to test them out.

The thief lunged forward with the knife, aiming for Dave's arm. But Dave's reflexes, enhanced by his improved agility, kicked in immediately. He sidestepped the attack effortlessly, his movements quicker than the thief anticipated. The man swung again, but Dave blocked the knife with his forearm, then threw a quick punch that landed squarely on the thief's jaw.

**Stat Notification:** 

"Agility: 15 | Strength: 12 | Endurance: 13"

The thief staggered backward, clearly not expecting such resistance. Dave followed up with a swift kick to the man's hand, sending the knife clattering to the ground. He could feel the strength and speed that his daily training had given him, and it was paying off in this fight. The thief scrambled to grab the knife, but Dave moved faster, kicking it out of reach.

"Give it up," Dave said calmly, watching the man scramble.

The thief glanced around, realizing he was outmatched. Dave reached into his pocket and pulled out his phone. "I'm calling the police," he warned. The thief, now panicking, turned and bolted down the street, disappearing into the alleyway.

Dave let out a breath he hadn't realized he was holding. His heart was still pounding, but he hadn't even broken a sweat. The system's daily mission had prepared him well. He quickly dialed 911 and reported the attempted robbery.

'That was close,' he thought as he pocketed his phone. 'If it wasn't for these stat points, that could've gone much worse.'

---

Later that evening, after speaking with the police and filing a report, Dave sat back in his house, reflecting on the day. His mind kept going back to the fight. The system had given him real power, but it also came with responsibility. 'This system is changing me in more ways than I expected,' he thought. 'But I'm not done yet. I'll get through this weekly mission, even if it costs me more than I'm comfortable with.'

He checked his bank account briefly, noting the number. It was a good amount, but nowhere near enough to relax completely.

---

System Notification:

"You have completed your daily mission. 5 ability points awarded. Please allocate your points."

Dave's stats popped up in his mind, and he quickly allocated the 5 points, splitting them between his strength and agility. With every point added, he could feel himself becoming more formidable. The thought of facing tougher challenges excited him, but at the same time, he knew that the system's demands would only grow more intense.

'I need to get serious about these points,' Dave thought. 'I need more money, and fast.'

As he prepared for bed, the weight of the weekly mission sat heavily in his mind. The penalties for failure still remained a mystery, but one thing was clear: Dave would do whatever it took to avoid them. And if that meant fighting off more thieves or making bigger investments, he was ready. 

But as he drifted off to sleep, one last thought lingered in his mind: 'This system… it's only just begun.'
