Varun sat in his dimly lit room, staring at the screen in front of him. His bank balance had never looked this good before.
₹1,55,300.
A few days ago, he had nothing—a broke, useless graduate with no future.
Now? He had the power of knowledge, money, and a system that could predict the stock market.
Taking a deep breath, he activated Stock Market Prediction.
A faint blue glow flickered before his eyes as the system interface appeared.
━━━ STOCK MARKET PREDICTION ACTIVE ━━━
[Scanning upcoming stock trends…]
SEARCHING…
Suddenly, a name popped up in glowing text.
▶ Sasken Technologies Limited (SASKEN)
Current Price: ₹180 per share
Projected Price in 5 Days: ₹400+ per share
Varun's eyes narrowed. Sasken Technologies?
It was a small-cap company focused on IT services and telecommunications. Not many people were paying attention to it.
But he knew what was going to happen.
"This company is about to explode in value."
The system didn't lie. If he invested now, he could more than double his money in just five days.
His pulse quickened. This was his first real investment in the stock market. This time, he wasn't betting blindly like other traders.
This time, he had an unfair advantage.
Opening a Trading Account
Before he could invest, he needed a demat and trading account.
Back in 2010, online trading wasn't as seamless as in the future. It required a brokerage account, documentation, and patience.
Varun headed to a brokerage firm in Hyderabad that offered quick account opening. The air inside smelled of fresh paper and ink, with several men in formal shirts analyzing stock market data.
A middle-aged broker sat across from him, reviewing his documents.
"You're a student? Opening a trading account?" the broker asked, raising an eyebrow.
Varun smiled. "I'm planning to learn investing early."
The broker smirked. "Good thinking. Most youngsters waste money on nonsense. At least you're investing."
If only he knew.
Within an hour, his trading account was active.
The Investment Begins
Varun transferred ₹1,50,000 into his brokerage account and immediately searched for Sasken Technologies (SASKEN).
He quickly bought 830 shares at ₹180 per share.
━━━ INVESTMENT CONFIRMED ━━━
[Stock Purchased: Sasken Technologies]
[Total Shares: 830]
[Current Price: ₹180]
[Estimated Value After 5 Days: ₹3,32,000]
Varun leaned back and exhaled.
"Now, I wait."
Acting Normal
For the next few days, Varun returned to his normal routine.
His father still ignored him. His mother barely spoke to him. His so-called friends thought he was just being moody.
Ananya still tried to talk to him.
"You've been acting weird, Varun. Are you okay?" she asked one evening as they walked out of college.
Varun looked at her, remembering the girl who had once told him he wasn't good enough.
He smiled politely. "I'm fine, just thinking about my future."
Ananya beamed. "That's good! You should focus on a good job."
"You mean money."
He didn't argue. He just nodded.
There was no point in fighting over words. He knew what was coming.
Very soon, his future would be better than anything she could have imagined.
The Stock Surges
On the third day, Varun checked his brokerage account.
His stomach flipped.
Sasken Technologies had jumped from ₹180 to ₹320 per share!
His investment had already grown from ₹1,50,000 to ₹2,65,600.
But he didn't sell yet. The system said five days.
He held firm, ignoring the temptation.
On the fourth day, the stock hit ₹370 per share.
On the fifth day, it peaked at ₹412 per share.
Varun clicked SELL.
━━━ STOCK SOLD SUCCESSFULLY ━━━
[Total Profit: ₹3,42,000]
He leaned back in his chair, staring at the screen.
"₹500 to ₹3,42,000 in a week."
A slow, satisfied smile spread across his face.
This was just the beginning.
The Next Step
That night, as Varun lay in bed, he thought about what was next.
The system had given him a mission.
━━━ NEW MISSION UNLOCKED ━━━
▶ Earn ₹10,00,000 through stock investments.
▶ Time Limit: 60 Days.
▶ Reward: Unlock 'Business Blueprint' Feature.
This meant he needed to triple his money in the next two months.
And if the system could predict short-term stocks like Sasken…
Then making a million would be easy.
With a confident smirk, he closed his eyes.
"Let's see what's next."
