Chapter Eleven(11)

Using my new flash drive, I transferred all my important files from the old laptop before crushing it and tossing it into the main trash bin—making sure Mom wouldn't see it.

Normally, I would have transferred the files directly to my new laptop, but there was one issue: it had no operating system yet.

Fortunately, I had anticipated this and already mapped out a basic framework for the OS I wanted to create.

Developing an OS from scratch should take at least six months or more, but with my speed, knowledge, and processing power, I could cut that time down significantly.

Any additional equipment I needed could be created on the go since I had the resources to make it happen.

Settling into my newly crafted chair, I placed the laptop on my computer stand and got to work.

With 100,000 Qubits backing the system, I could operate at lightning speed. Hours passed as my fingers flew across the keyboard, moving faster than even peak humans like Captain America.

Marvel classified him as "peak human," but honestly, who runs 35 mph and lifts 1,500 lbs without being outright superhuman? Regardless, I was far beyond that level.

At my typing speed, an ordinary keyboard would have shattered, but my laptop was built from Transformium—self-repairing and reinforced, ensuring I hadn't even come close to its limits.

As the sky darkened, I finally finished the OS, leaving myself enough time to create additional apps for my upcoming projects.

Some of these would also be included in the suite of services I planned to offer users on my search engine.

"I'm back!" Mom called out as she entered the house.

"I'm coming!" I replied, placing my new graphic pen on the freshly created drawing pad before hurrying downstairs.

"How was school today?" she asked as I reached her.

"Fine. Oh, and Mrs. Andrew asked about you."

"She's probably wondering why I haven't been to the bank lately. So, have you eaten?"

"Yeah," I lied, immediately changing the subject. Mom didn't know I didn't need food yet. "How was work today?"

"Compared to most days, today was actually nice. So, what have you been up to?"

"I'm almost done with my website—just need to publish it."

"That's great! I'll start on dinner. You can go back to your work," she said as she headed to the kitchen. I returned to my room to continue.

Within minutes, I had redrawn the entire manga up to the latest update. It was easy since I was already familiar with my own work.

After making a few enhancements for better software integration, I saved my progress and immediately started working on a new release.

As promised, I would compensate readers with two extra issues.

"James, dinner is ready!" Mom called from downstairs.

"Coming!" I replied, setting my work aside to eat.

A few minutes later, after finishing dinner, we both retired to our rooms for the night. Instead of sleeping—which I didn't really need—I went straight back to work.

I completed the two extra issues, then focused on finishing my website so I could upload everything.

Unlike traditional manga, which is in black and white, I opted for full-color illustrations, making my work look more like a manhwa.

My website, ComicSmith.com, was structured similarly to Crunchyroll but with a much cleaner, more intuitive interface.

Users could read and download comics for free. Once I started animating these manga, I'd introduce a monthly subscription model for exclusive anime content—generating passive income.

If things went well, I could even get paid to host private animations on the platform.

With the website complete, I developed a companion app linked to it for easier access. After ensuring everything functioned as expected, I uploaded the manga and double-checked the entire system.

Satisfied with the results, I released the app on this world's version of the Play Store while also making it available for direct download on the website.

I created both mobile and PC versions of the app, making sure it was accessible to as many users as possible.

Now, all I had to do was wait for the downloads to start rolling in.
