"Wha-what? How much is that 'some cash' he said he left with me?" Carter was astonished by the amount he saw on the status window.
"I didn't go to school, but this amount exceeds trillions," Carter said, his eyes widening and jaw dropping. "That crazy guy wants me to exceed this amount? How can I do it?" Carter was left dazed, unable to comprehend the intentions of the one who gave him this second chance.
As he was still asking himself questions, a new message appeared in the status window. It wasn't his status; it was just a simple message.
##Body Reformation Will Commence##
##System Privilege Will Be Added to Your Body Reformation##
After that message, Carter's body started to glow. He felt his bones change and his muscles transform. It was painful but bearable.
After a short while, another message appeared, and the pain Carter was feeling from the body reformation stopped.
"Damn, what was that?" Carter asked, looking at his body, which felt different. He felt lighter and much stronger.

"What the? What is this? I feel much stronger, and my status increased a lot," Carter exclaimed. "Is this the system privilege it mentioned?"
Carter was surprised. This was a cheat code, elevating him to another level beyond human, which is why his race had changed to Transcendence.
"I feel much stronger now. I think I can do anything," Carter said, still in shock.
As he marveled at his newfound abilities, another message appeared, similar to the first one but different.
##Data Transfer Will Now Commence##
"What data this time?" Carter wondered. "Ahhh!" he screamed as the process began, his head in excruciating pain.
##1%... 2%... 10%...##
As the percentage increased, the pain became fiercer. Various pieces of information he never knew started flowing into his head: Master of Business Administration (MBA), Master of Science in Finance, Master of Science in Marketing, Master of Science in Accounting, Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in Business Administration, Doctor of Business Administration (DBA), Certified Public Accountant (CPA), Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA), Project Management Professional (PMP), Urban Planning and Development, Legal and Regulatory Knowledge, and more.
Knowledge flowed into Carter's mind, making him feel dizzy and pained. He tried to resist fainting, but it was too much.
"Damn it, I just came back and now I will die again," Carter muttered, holding his head. A few minutes later, he fainted.
"Ahh," Carter groaned in pain as he woke up. "How long was I out? It's already night. I must have slept for a whole day," he said, sitting up.
He sat there, thinking about everything that had happened. It felt like a dream, but it was true. He now had knowledge he never had before and an amount of money unimaginable. The decision was his: What would he do with the money and knowledge he now possessed? Would he use it to seek revenge and gain power, or would he live a quiet life? He remembered the message from his unknown benefactor: [Use the cash however you see fit, but I only ask you to exceed the amount that is on it.]
"Ahh, damn it. How will I start exceeding that ridiculous amount of money?" Carter shouted.
"Maybe I will open a company. With the knowledge I have and the money, I can develop a company to generate income and surpass the amount I was given," he thought aloud. "Nah, I will think about that later. Right now, I have to gain power and do what I must do. I will make them pay, everyone who looked down on me," Carter said, clenching his fists.
"Well, let's look at the information on the skills I was given. If it's like a game, I should be able to see the information about my skills," Carter said. He then shouted, [Status window!] and started examining each skill.

"Whoa, this is a cheat. Despite having all that knowledge, which would take someone a lifetime to acquire, I also have these skills that can help me," Carter said, surprised.
"Well, not bad. I think I can do anything I want," Carter said, looking pleased.
"But these last two skills, one doesn't have any information, and the shop one—does it mean I can get my own people from the system?" Carter thought. "Well, I'll take a look when I need help or anything," he said. He then stood up and started walking to leave the abandoned house in the back valley of Starville, a vibrant entertainment and cultural center in the country of Valoria. It was a city where powerful and wealthy families liked to visit, and it could hold its own in terms of business and companies.
Carter walked out of the back alley and into the center of the city. It was the middle of the night, but there were still many people outside. This was Starville.
[Breaking news: One of the big companies in the country and the number one company in Starville, Attribute Investment Company, is currently on sale after its chairman, Eleanor Hamilton, declared it.]
[Many big groups and prestigious families from Starville and the major business city of New Avalon are rumored to be fighting for the company.]
[That's all for now. We will keep you informed on what is happening at Attribute Investment Company.]
Carter stood in front of the television until the news was over and then said to himself, "Is this fate? I don't know much about the business world from my past life, but this chance has come like a stepping stone for me to climb higher."
"I can't go there myself, but I have a cheat code for that. Now, let's test the shop skill. But first, I have to get myself a place to rest and live for some time. I can't live in a big place because it will attract attention. I will have to lay low until everything is ready to reveal myself," Carter thought as he walked away.
