Suddenly, along with Sofia's shouting voice, I heard another sound. It was coming from the system, but first I had to look at Sofia. She had probably come to wake me up for school, and from the reluctance in her eyes, it was clear Clara had forced her to do it.
I got up and began preparing for school. But before anything else, I needed to check the notification from the system.
---
• You have earned 6 points for sleeping 6 hours.

A small smile appeared on my face. So I could earn points simply by doing things. When I checked the point usage section, I saw that increasing my agility required 16 points, and increasing my endurance required 32 points.
It seemed that the cost to upgrade each stat would multiply by two every time.
With only 6 points, I couldn't do anything yet. I needed to find different ways to earn more.
During last night's investigation, I learned that the system included professions. Without thinking too much, I had wanted to choose the "Football Player" profession immediately, but a warning popped up in front of me:
---
To acquire the Football Player profession, all of your stats must be at least 10.
---
So for now, my first goal was clear:
Earn points and meet the requirements to become a football player.
I also learned that this world was far from simple. It was 85 times larger than my previous world, and 250 billion people lived here. That number alone was unbelievable. Even though the system was unique to me, other people had special devices that allowed them to see each other's stats and professions.
Because of that, anyone could grow stronger and gain abilities.
Clara had also chosen the "Tailor" profession and developed herself in that field.
What I wondered the most was this:
What challenges would I face once I became a football player?
With this many people in the world, and with everyone able to enhance their stats, football had evolved into something far beyond what I used to know.
But even so, I didn't lose hope.
In this life…
With my system, I will climb to the very peak of football.
No matter how difficult it becomes.
