The system

After finishing breakfast with his family, John let out a satisfied sigh and stretched his limbs. The morning sun streamed through the windows, casting warm golden hues across the kitchen. His mother, Sarah, smiled at him, her ocean-blue eyes filled with affection. His younger sister, Amelia, playfully nudged him as she collected the dishes. It was a rare moment of peace, something John had longed for since returning to the past.

But despite the warmth of family, exhaustion tugged at his body. The weight of everything that had happened—the revelation of his second chance, the mysterious system, and the boundless possibilities ahead—had left him drained. He needed rest.

"I'm heading to my room," he announced, pushing his chair back.

His mother glanced at him, concern flickering in her gaze. "You okay, sweetheart? You seem tired."

John forced a reassuring smile. "Just a bit exhausted. I'll be fine after some sleep."

With that, he made his way to his room, each step feeling heavier than the last. As soon as he reached his bed, he collapsed onto it with a deep sigh. The soft mattress welcomed him, and he felt the tension in his muscles ease. His mind drifted between wakefulness and sleep, thoughts blurring together.

Just as the last bit of consciousness slipped away, an unexpected sound shattered the silence.

[Ding! System definition complete.]

John's eyes snapped open. His body jolted upright as an electric thrill coursed through his veins. His breath hitched as he found himself staring at a translucent blue screen hovering in front of him. The digital glow of the interface illuminated his room in an otherworldly light.

"It's here," he whispered, his voice trembling with excitement.

The realization sent a rush of adrenaline through his system. He clenched his fists, his heartbeat pounding against his ribcage like a war drum.

[Ding! Prime Origin System Initiating...]

A progress bar appeared.

10%... 50%... 99%...

John held his breath, watching with anticipation. His fingers twitched as he resisted the urge to reach out and touch the holographic display.

[Ding! System successfully activated!]

The moment the words appeared, a victorious cry tore from his throat.

"YES! Finally!"

His voice reverberated throughout the house, startling even himself. But he didn't care. This was the moment he had been waiting for. His chance to rewrite fate.

His chance to dominate this world.

Before he could fully process his excitement, another notification popped up.

[Ding! Loading system functions...]

A secondary loading bar filled rapidly, moving far faster than the first. His heart pounded with every percentage increase, his anticipation growing with each passing second.

And then—

[Ding!]

A flood of information rushed into his mind, sending a tingling sensation through his skull. It wasn't painful, but it was overwhelming. It felt as if knowledge was being directly imprinted onto his consciousness. The system's interface blinked, revealing his status window.

John's eyes scanned the screen, absorbing every detail. His stats weren't bad, but they weren't overpowered either. Strength and agility were decent, but dexterity was low. His wisdom, charm, and luck were excellent, though.

The multiplication factor immediately caught his attention. Five times? Did that mean he could multiply resources, stats, or even time efficiency?

His mind raced with the possibilities.

Then—

[Ding! Beginner Pack Distributed.]

John froze. His breath hitched as he read the notification again.

A beginner pack? Already?

His hands trembled slightly as he navigated the system's interface, bringing up the inventory window. A sleek black bag sat neatly inside his digital storage. The moment he laid eyes on it, curiosity and excitement surged through him.

But before opening it, he forced himself to take a deep breath. He needed to be rational. If he was going to master this system, he had to understand it first.

"System," he said firmly, his voice steady. "Explain all functions in detail."

The interface flickered momentarily before new text appeared.

[Ding! Explanation of System Functions:]

John absorbed every word, committing them to memory. Each function held immense potential. The multiplication factor in particular intrigued him. If it what he is thinking then he is fucking rich,even with the limitations

A smirk played on his lips.

"This is even better than I imagined."

He exhaled slowly, regaining his composure. Now that he had a basic understanding of the system, it was time to see what the beginner pack contained.

With a thought, he selected the black bag in his inventory.

[Would you like to open the Beginner Pack? Y/N]

A confirmation window popped up.

John didn't hesitate. "Yes."

The bag disintegrated into particles of light, revealing several items in his inventory.

---

Beginner Pack Rewards:

1. 50000 System Points (SP) – Additional currency for purchasing items.

2. Basic Strength Elixir (x1) – Permanently increases strength by +3.

3. Basic Agility Elixir (x1) – Permanently increases agility by +3.

4. Beginner Skill: Observe (Passive) – Allows the user to analyze objects, people, and skills with detailed information.

5. VR headset gear and Pod technology blue print.

John's eyes widened as he read through the rewards. Permanent stat increases, a new skill, and a weapon? This was far better than he had expected.

The first thing he noticed was "Observe." A passive skill that let him analyze things in detail? That was invaluable.

"System, display skill details."

[Observe (Passive) - level 1 ]

Allows the user to analyze objects, people, and abilities with varying degrees of detail depending on the level difference.

Can provide hidden information if the user's wisdom stat is high enough.

John's smirk widened. This was perfect.

Next, he turned his attention to the elixirs. Without hesitation, he selected both and consumed them.

A warm sensation spread through his body, his muscles tightening as raw power coursed through his veins. His fingers clenched into fists, feeling the newfound strength surging within him.

[Ding! Strength increased to 10.]

[Ding! Agility increased to 11.]

John exhaled sharply. The changes weren't drastic, but he could feel the difference. He was faster, stronger.

His gaze then fell on the last reward already thinking of ways to utilize it.

John's heart pounded with exhilaration.

This was it. The first step toward his dominance.

His second chance at life had officially begun.
