Chapter 1Chapter 1: Hope

Castor sat on the sidewalk with his cart and saw the disgust and sometimes fear of those who walked past him.

After all, he hadn't shaven or taken a proper shower in two years and was abandoned by everyone he knew after he became homeless.

Now he sat at the corner of the busiest intersection looking for some people to donate. He was as low as one could get in modern society.

A couple more hours passed before the streets were deserted, and Castor finally got up and started strolling with his cart to what he called his new home.

After walking for 30 more minutes, Castor walked into what he called his home, an abandoned house for who knows how long.

Luckily, the door was kept open, so it was an easy place to sleep where he wouldn't have to worry about being attacked during his sleep by others.

Sitting down, Castor took out his donation box and counted his daily earnings.

$30 after sitting on one of the busiest streets in New York, in the end, he only made $30, which didn't surprise him. There were better spots where he could earn up to $100 a day, but gangs controlled these spots to make some extra cash.

Looking at the cracked roof with a giant hole in it, Castor couldn't help but remember when he had a place to call home, when he thought he was on top of the world, when he still had some self-respect.

"All this because I don't want to sleep with some random girl…." Castor muttered as he closed his eyes.

[System binding...….]

[Clan System loading...….]

[Scanning world...…]

[Scanning host...]

[Loading 1%...46%.....78%....100%]

[Ding! System Loaded.]

[Please Read the System Guide….}

"WHAT GOT OFF!!" Castor yelled, screaming as he heard a voice in his mind.

It meant either two things were happening, someone knew he was here and was messing with him, or he was now going crazy.

Looking around, he could tell the traps he put around the room and door were still untouched, meaning no one had come in.

"Am I already going crazy? Then again, I've been homeless for practically two years now. It would be weird if my mind wasn't a little out of tune." Cator said to himself as his heart slowed down.

Finally looking around, he noticed a blue floating screen in the corner of his eye.

[Please Read the System Guide]

Clicking it another giant blue screen popped out making him jump.

"Have I gone crazy?" castor said, looking at the blue screen in front of him.

[Welcome to the clan system, this is your system guide on how to use the system.]

[You have been lucky enough to have been chosen by the great outer system god to receive a system]

[The clan system is a system that helps you develop a clan that will one day stand at the top of your universe.]

[After scanning your world and your current situation you have been given a gift package]

[Please open the gift package after reading the system guide]

"No way…." murmured Castor as he finished reading the system guide.

It took about 30 minutes but those 30 minutes had given him something he hadn't felt in a long time.

And that was hope for a better future.

Gathering his thoughts for a couple of minutes, Castor took a deep breath and opened the gift package from the system.

According to the Manual, this would give him a foundation that he could use to start developing himself and his clan in the future.

[Opening Gift package...]

[x1- Rented apartment for three months]

[x1- All your lost identification papers]

[x1- Advanced level day trader skills]

[x1-Talent appraisal skill]

[x1-system panel]

[x1- 10 cubic meters of storage space]

[x3- $500 cash]

"Holy shit..." Castor said as he looked at the papers that appeared in front of him.

His Identification papers, when they were stolen he turned into a real homeless person, without his identification it was pretty much impossible to prove who he was, especially with the fact that he knew no one would help him prove his identity.

Seeing the papers, Castor's eyes got a little watery. The loss of his Identity was what hit him the hardest after he became homeless, because of that he wasn't able to get a job, a place to live, and even his car was towed.

All because he couldn't prove his identity.

"All right, caster calm down. We can cry later when I'm sitting in my apartment." Castor said to himself, wiping his tears away

[ Rented Apartment- The system has given you an average rented apartment for three months for you to quickly start improving your living conditions so you can begin working on completing clan tasks]

[Advanced Level Day Trading skills- Day trading skills of the top 1% of day traders will be your most powerful skill for you to set a stable foundation for the clan.]

[Talent Appraisal skill- No matter what era, talent will always be sought after and looked for, sometimes talent is in front of you, and you could never know, with this skill, you can quickly recruit all types of talents into the clan.]

[10 cubic meters of storage space- A safe place where you can keep the most important things to you can make sure you don't lose them]

[System Panel- A panel that will let you track the current status of your clan and how it's doing]

Taking a deep breath Castor quickly rushed around the house and started taking out his hidden stashes of chas along with anything he deemed important and rushed out of the house and ran.

For the first time in a while, he felt that his life had a purpose
