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.]

Ever since he dealt with Kevin, Michael had solely focused on acquiring skills. During this time, he never left the villa.


Every time that he felt mentally tired, he relaxed, either in the swimming pool, or in the entertainment room inside the villa.


Since he was so much determined, he had put in much effort, to the extent that he learned five skills a day, with each skill pushed to the expert level.


With a total of 12 days, he was able to learn a total of 60 skills. With each skill granting him 6,011 SP, he was able to gain a total of 360,660 SP, something that brought his SP balance to a total of 554,486 points.


This was equivalent to $54.4 billion, if the points were converted to cash. This was quite a substantial amount, and even in his dreams, before he acquired the system, Michael had never dreamed of such a possibility.
