Chapter 2 - Chapter 2

{June 20th}

It has been a month since I started to grind myself, a lot of things happened to me this past months as I have not only gained muscle. Not much as I did not have six packs or even 4 packs, but I am getting there. That is not the only thing that happened, I meet some other people in the gym that help me a lot when I was getting started.

{Flashback}

I just walked into the guy, I was hit with breeze of the ac; it was cold very cold, I guessed it was probably because of the shorts and short sleeve t shirt I was wearing. Actually, I was arguing with my self wither to were this or not but now I regrated it the most. I looked around to see that everyone was wearing the same thing as me but there muscles were much more trained than mine, I inevitably went to most secluded conner as I did not want to be noticed by others. 

As I started the workout or what I assumed was a workout, I wish I have some more RP to spend on getting knowledge on martial arts or even workout. Martial arts were out of the question as with my skinny body, I would not have enough reaction speed, agility, or by some chance I landed a punch I would not have strength to make it significant. As I continue my workout pondering this, I heard someone say "You are doing it wrong" 

I turn around to see a man with a head of fiery red hair, his eyes are a shade of emerald. His height is around 6'2", he has a lean, athletic build, he wearing the usual gym clothes same as me. He has charming smile as I look up at him, he said "You are using the machine wrong, although it will not hurt you but the most effective way to use it for you would be slid to the right more and use a different way of exercise. Here let me show you" 

He adjusted me to a new position and showed me the way to maximize the gains as I felt more pain this way. I could not help but curse in my mind but the rejection and the way I am currently, especially the break up from her fueled my will to see through it. The red hair kid continued to show me with various machines as he worked out besides me. We talked for the 2 hours we spent in the gym as we finished our workouts.

His name is Lukas Burnett, he is also an orphan like me but moved here from a different state. He has no friends here and likes to work out a lot so he comes here often, we started to talk about many things like games, movies, etc. We share a lot of things in common so much that it practically doesn't make sense how we never meet before. We exchanged contact information, I also found out that he is at the same school as me. 

"Why are you here anyway?" He asked

"Well, I here to grind" I said

"No, I mean like why?" He said "For example, I am here because I like the feeling of going away from life for once." 

"I see.." I pondered what he said, why was I doing this? Self improvement? Health? Physical fitness? all of these could be solved with RP, I can buy super soldier serum and make it to get all of them. Infact, why am I even using a system with unknown origins in the first place. I could very well be on my way to doom all of human kind.

I think back to when I first got the system, the emotion I felt, Betrayal? I can't say that as she has every right to break up on me after all who would want a boyfriend that plans to laze around all day and only does things because she has beg him to do it. Even if I told this was what she signed for before we became a thing, so I can't blame her. What is it? Frustration, yes that is it. I hated myself even second back then, but I had lost all hope and energy to train.

When she broke up with me, it felt like the dam has opened. The energy that I had none now seemed endless. The system then appeared bring with it hope to further myself. "Frustration" I said, I did not look at him when I said that. Out of the conner of my eye though I could see that he had understood what happened. We then carried on our work out as usual, we also stayed in contact most of summer.

{Flash back end}

The other thing that happened this month was that I have started trading, my main goal was connection and power, Secondary was money, optional goal was getting information. Well, I did succeed in the second one as I have reached 500k this week. Although not liquid, it could be turned into it very quickly as I spread the money across different stocks thus such small amount could easily be traded. 

I typed the and sold all the stocks as I watch my bank account have 500k, now I need some place to start a company at. What industry would be suitable for this? I need it to be low key enough that the government does not care, but large enough that I can make money. I pondered this as I look around my room for ideas that when it hit me, I can make games. Specifically, I can make a Indie Game. It is a starting project thus I can easily make it, with just 300k in the game while rest go towards mid level investing.
