Chapter 2 - 2

When I got up in the morning and remembered my system, I went after the money my father had saved, and when I opened the package of coins, I found

10 gold coins and 7 silver coins.

When I saw just that amount of coins, I thought for a moment and realized it would take some time for my system to gain momentum and turn into a snowball of dividends, or rather, a snowball of gold, hahaha.

My system not only provided me with a 10% income linked to the gold but also had a store where I could buy anything I wanted. This excited me the most because, despite not having come with any divine martial soul, divine technique, or divine lineage, I had the freedom to buy whatever I wanted with enough money, which was much better than having some random lottery determine my fate for the rest of this wonderful new life ahead.

1 gold coin is equal to 10 silver coins, and 1 silver coin is equal to 100 copper coins, so if I linked all my money, I would only have 1.07 in dividends, which wasn't much. With my system, I could buy ready-made food, so I decided to link only the 10 gold coins to the system and keep the 7 silver coins to spend over the next thirty days.

I also remembered that the spiritual beast my father had killed at the cost of his life was a boar, and the villagers were selling it today, giving me 80% of the sale, while the rest would help families whose crops had been destroyed.

In the morning, still without eating anything, I remembered that at home there were some dried meats from my father's recent hunts and mainly rice and vegetables. So, I thought that to avoid spending too much of the silver coins and also to not raise suspicion from the neighbors, I decided to only buy the mix from the system and prepare the rice and vegetables myself, which was much simpler.

After feeding myself with what I had, I decided to take a walk around the village and organize what I would do until my martial soul awakened.

After returning, I prepared some water and went out again to run and also do some push-ups and sit-ups, while thinking about what I could use to exercise my biceps, triceps, back, and all the muscles in my body, believing that as a soul of the earth with years of experience and a strong body, I could awaken with a higher soul power. At least something above zero would be enough; even 0.5 of soul power would be good for me because I knew that with the system, I just needed time to accumulate enough money to buy all kinds of things that would strengthen me. I knew that with the system, becoming a god was just a matter of time, and the most important thing was not to die along the way, as victory was guaranteed.

On the same day, in the middle of the afternoon, the village chief came to give me my share from the beast's death and asked if I needed anything. He said that if I needed anything in the future, I just had to come talk to him.

The sale of the 10-year-old boar brought me only 10 gold coins, which for people without soul power would be more than a year of expenses, but for me, with a system that had thousands of good things to buy, it wasn't much, but still much better than nothing because I immediately linked it to the system.

This would earn me 2 gold coins the following month, and I was already thinking about what I could buy with a little money to strengthen my body in the hope of having greater soul power.
