He lost both of his parents due to a bank heist at the age of 14. Due to his young age, he joined an orphanage, but it turned out to be secretly owned by a group of gangsters.
He was exploited together with the other children in the orphanage, before finally, at the age of 16, he joined the gang, being valued for his intelligence.
Working for the gang as an accountant in charge of the income of the gang, he used all the money that he earned to purchase books on accounting. He wanted to study, gain real skills, and see if he could join a legitimate company as an accountant.
….
Who would have expected that due to his effort, one night, just as he was done reading, a holographic screen popped up in front of his eyes.
[System binding... Binding completed.]
[System activating... Activation completed.]
[Welcome to the Information to Mastery: Points Store System, Michael Santos.]
[Experience full. You have acquired beginner level accounting skills. +1 SP.]
He would have never thought that this was going to change his life completely. As long as he acquired information on a particular field, and studied it, the system could allow him to master the skills, even without doing physical practice.
[Experience full. Level up. Accounting skills upgraded to intermediate level. +10 SP.]
….
But that was not the craziest point. Using the store points that he received by acquiring skills, he could purchase anything from the store.
[Used 10 SP to acquire 100% shares of Riverside Hotel.]

Many things have been arranged to happen on this day.


So, on this day, after waking up, the first thing that Michael did was to read, to acquire another skill.


On the previous day, after he ate lunch with Kate, she departed, while he focused on acquiring another skill, script writing.


As usual, he made sure to push this script writing skill to the expert level, gaining 6,011 SP.


On Monday morning, he was reading about the armed combat skills. There was a difference between this skill and marksmanship.


Mainly, this armed combat skill was related to fighting using other weapons, such as spears, swords, knives, staffs, iron rods and so on.


Due to how the system regarded the skills, for this skill to be pushed to the expert level, all the information regarding different types of weapons had to be read on.


Of course, for some things, such as a staff and an iron pipe, there was not much of a difference between them, maybe apart from the length and material.
