Five months have passed since Damon was transmigrated into this world of the novel.

Throughout these five months, Damon was always busy and never got a chance to properly rest.

He was always holed up in his apartment and almost never left unless it was to purchase something important or related to his business.

He was always busy studying for the entrance examination of Scheld Academy, which is known to be a tough examination to crack and is titled as the toughest examination in the world.

The entrance examination involves various subjects such as beastology, history, science, math, current affairs, geography, mental aptitude, and the list goes on.

While this may be a fantasy world, science also develops parallel to magic, and the syllabus required to crack the examination is equivalent to the middle school level on planet Earth.

The examination is a combination of subjective and objective questions, making it even more difficult.

Many would suggest that Damon should use his system instead of studying from books to gain all the knowledge. This thought did actually cross Damon's mind, but he later gave up on it.

The knowledge provided by the system to Damon is completely perfect and differs from the knowledge that humans have accumulated. Therefore, it is better not to rely on the system's knowledge for this examination.

With the perfect knowledge, Damon could argue with top researchers about the falsification of current theories. However, he realized how difficult it would be to deal with them and how much time it would consume, so he dropped the idea.

After gaining true Martial Arts, Damon also acquired knowledge in the field of Kinesiology and everything about bringing out the potential of the human body. Damon planned his workout routine and trained hard every day with the equipment he had ordered online.

Damon's body has undergone significant changes, and his height has increased to six feet one inch from five feet eleven inches. He has also lost a lot of body fat, becoming chiseled and muscular.

Damon has greatly increased his mastery over martial arts and body movements but is still far from achieving the peak state, which he could reach in a couple of years.

In the following weeks, Damon asked for knowledge regarding programming, business management, finance, law, beastology, trading, eCommerce, psychology etc.

While pondering ways to earn money, Damon first learned about programming and developed small apps and games under his own corporation, which he later sold for a large sum of money he was offered.

Using the knowledge of business management and related skills, Damon stepped into the fields of eCommerce, trading, and investments. He used his knowledge of finances and law to find legal loopholes and exploit them to avoid paying taxes and similar obligations.

With his knowledge of hacking, Damon hacked into several banks and swiftly stole small amounts of money without anyone noticing. He created false transaction reports to make all his money appear clean.

After five months of hard work, Damon now has a net worth of two hundred million dollars, which is a significant amount by world standards but still falls short of the amount Damon actually wishes to accumulate.

Damon learned beastology, a subject dealing with beasts, their habitat, diversity, types, etc., in the hopes of preparing for the examination. However, this didn't help Damon much because many things in this world aren't as humans have noted. Instead of assisting Damon with his studies, the topic horrified him, making him realize just how dangerous this world actually is.

Damon was terrified by the topics that beastology revealed to him, but the details of those topics are a tale for another day.

Since the knowledge from the system wasn't much help to Damon in exams due to various false theories, he stopped using the system to learn the syllabus for the examination. Instead, he started utilizing memory improvement exercises and brain training techniques he learned from cognitive psychology.

Damon's life was always busy. He studied every day while managing his business and simultaneously dedicating hours to training martial arts and maintaining his physical fitness. Additionally, he worked on his future projects, collaborating with other technologies.

"Oh, finally done with this!"

Sitting in his chair inside a villa, the handsome young boy with messy, long black hair and gorgeous red eyes said as he sighed and got up from the chair, stretching a bit.

"Sir, I have already checked your answers. You have scored eighty-seven percent."

As Damon got up, a voice sounded from the speakers of his computer, to which he sighed.

"Eighty-seven percent? Well, that's a great score, isn't it, Theia?"

"No, it isn't, sir. The minimum cutoff for Scheld Academy this year reached 92 percent. So, if you want to secure admission in the academy with a safe score, you need to score at least 95%."

Damon sighed upon hearing this and couldn't help but feel annoyed. It had been five months since Damon had transmigrated into this world of a novel.

After crossing two hundred million dollars in his net worth, Damon decided to buy a better residence and purchased this villa for 45 million dollars, starting to live here.

Damon looked out of the window and admired the beautiful scenery of sea waves crashing onto his private beach. He gazed at the small island in the distance, connected to the mainland by a bridge.

Damon not only changed his residence but also his city, shifting to the city of Valora where Scheld Academy is located and where the entire plot unfolds.

During this period of five months, Damon successfully acquired a supercomputer and created his own AI using the knowledge he received from his system. The AI now acts as his assistant and helps Damon a lot.

Damon got up after finishing the sample paper designed by his AI, Theia, and announced his result, which, although good, was not enough to secure admission in the academy.

Shaking his head and sighing, Damon left his study room and asked Theia to narrate the reports that required his attention.

Theia dutifully notified him of all the things that needed his attention and finally reached the last report, which specifically piqued Damon's interest.

"Today in the morning, a large-scale terrorist attack was launched by the Black Church in Havenbrook, causing nearby beasts to rampage and wreak havoc throughout the city. The city is destroyed, and more than one hundred thousand humans died in the attack. According to the authorities, there could be more casualties, but many were avoided, and numerous civilians were safely evacuated thanks to a fifteen-year-old teenager."

"The young man is named Alex Selfright, a student who attends Havenbrook City High School. He was able to stumble upon the base of the Black Church and inform the authorities about their plan."

"Unfortunately, it was too late to take action, and the young man formed a rescue team along with the military to evacuate the civilians safely."

"It is reported that during this process, he mysteriously awakened and fought against the beasts himself."

"Awakening before the age of sixteen or participating in any supernatural activities is considered a crime by the International Warrior Federation. However, considering the situation of the boy, the government has pardoned his sentence."

"Alex Selfright is currently injured and admitted to the hospital..."

"So, it had already happened."

Damon thought to himself as he looked at the news with a frown, gazing at the image of the brown-haired boy on the screen.

Lost in his thoughts, Damon's phone suddenly rang, bringing him back to reality.

Damon checked his phone and was surprised to see the caller's identity.

"Mr. Davis."
