CHAPTER 7: UNEXPECTED BOON
It has been a week since my transmigration and today I am going to cash out my 100000 WC investment from the Allstones company.
"50 million WC, huh. Nice now I have capital to start me plan." I said with an indifferent face not showing any exactment even with this kind of money.
"But first I will have to get that skill from that place." I said thinking about a skill from the story with so much potential, but the holder of that skill was a sorry of a villain who wasn't even able to show even 1 percent of this value.
I chuckled thinking how can someone how is not a protagonist even able to get his hand on that skill.
'Well, it will be mine this time.' I said in my mind.
"Hey Amy! I am going out to practice my sword, tell mom when she come back home from the coffee café that I will be late." I said loudly. Mom was not at home; she went to the café we own which is not much of a café and doesn't generate much income.
My mother was not an awakener, she chose to be one as she was from a middle-class family and didn't have the money to support two awakeners, so she gave her chance to her sister i.e. my aunt Elizabeth.
'I doesn't matter I will not only help her be an awakener but also a cultivator. I know she yearn for power, and I am quite sure that it is to give us a better life.' I thought to myself.
A voice interrupted my thoughts.
"Umm brother I can also come with you? I promise I will not disturb you." Said Amy fidgeting her fingers cutely as if afraid that I will say no.
"Hahahaha ... you want to come? Umm ... I don't know." I said with a gentle laugh.
"Please… pretty please?" she said with teary eyes.
"*sigh* ok ok you can come." I said with a sigh.
"Yay!!! Wait a minute let me wear my shoes."
After a few minutes we left the house, and I also sent a text to mom informing her about this trip.
We took a bus to the city forest. City forest is a place for newbie rankers who have just become rankers, they come here to fight with low level monster's foe experience, they can also train themself here as there is a safe ground in between to practice with weapon or magic. And it was the same place where that small time villain got the skill. He also became a student at the academy the next year because of that skill. But not this time.
We reached there in half an hour, and I asked Amy to follow me and not go anywhere as she was not awakened yet and was an ordinary human.
'System what is the cost to get a storage ring?' I asked the system in my head.
[It is 100SP for 50-meter storage.]
'So, one Fate value unit, huh.'
[Host I will recommend you unlock the inventory function with 100SP for its base feature with 10-meter space.]
'Inventory huh, do it and buy a fake storage ring and a wooden sword for Amy. Also remind me to ask you about this inventory when we get back home.' I said system and brought a wooden sword for Amy because I knew that it would be her main weapon and wanted to teach her a few moves to keep her occupied while I searched for the skill book.
"Hey Amy catch." I suddenly tossed the wooden sword to Amy.
Startled she said in fascination "Waoo …. brother! At least warn me and where did you get that."
I just smirked and showed her the fake storage ring on my finger.
"A storage ring!? How did you get that? they are so expensive." She said in shock.
To this I made an excuse "Well, it happened on the day of my result announcement when went to the supermarket I helped an old lady by carrying her things to her home and she as a thanks gave this storage ring to me. Even I was shocked."
Hearing my words Amy squinted her eyes and said, "Don't tell me if you don't want to, no need to lie."
'See that's a reaction a person should have when someone make this type of statement but no in those sons of that bitch heaven case all around them would have just accepted this without any question and would even have praised him like he didn't just practically rob some poor old lady.' I said in mind to no one.
"I brought it." I said wryly.
"Yeah, now even a bigger lie than before" she said with a little bit anger.
"No silly girl you know about the news of company Alstones right?"
"Yeah, who doesn't? it is like the biggest news of the year."
"Well, I was one of those how had invested in it before the news" I said.
Tabbing her fist in the palm of her hand she said "Ooooh I see so that is how .... you did what!!?" And became so shocked when she realized the meaning of my word.
"Yes, I did. I had a total of 10000 WC holding in that company."
"That ... that is a ... million WC!!" she exclaimed in realization.
"You are not lying or teasing me, right?" Amy said in a serious voice that looked cute on the baby face.
"Here see for yourself." I showed her the message of receiving the money in my account.
"Oh my god, you have a million WC.!!" she said in a daze.
"Yup, so now we can enjoy our life without hesitation." I said as I gently patted her head.
"But ... you should use it on yourself you will need it more for the resources to rank up." she said in hesitation.
"Nah you don't need to worry about that, I have other plans to earn money." I said with an indifferent gaze.
To this she could only nod her head.
"Well enough of that, we are here. Now I want you to practice with sword here for a while and then I will come back, I will teach you some moves." I said to Amy.
She nodded her head and asked, "where are you going?"
"Nowhere, just looking around for tree to sit on and watch you train." I said with a grin.
"Lazy."
"Ok chop chop now."
Giving her instructions I started looking for holes in any tree nearby. After a few minutes I found it.
A golden color book which looked like whole of it is made of threads or strings, there very many mysterious runes on it.
As I was just admiring the skill book, I heard the system's voice.
[Host you might have got something very interesting and powerful.] System said in apathetic voice, but I could feel its excitement.
"What is it?" I asked in anticipation.
[First please activate it for confirmation.]
That's what I did.
[Ding! Host has just received the technique Threads of Causality.]
[Ding! Host has just received 500 Fate value by Fracturing the fate of an individual.]
[Ding! A Hidden Quest has been updated.

Seeing all this I was shocked but didn't show it on my face because of Amy.
'System what is all this? Hidden Quest?' I said to system in my mind but all I got was this.
[Ding! System's update is starting in 30, 29, 28….]
[Host no need to worry I will explain everything after an hour as I will be offline for update, but all other functions will work same as before.]
To this I could only nod my head internally.
"Hey, let get you started." Having an hour's wait I started to teach Amy some basic and fundamental moves to practice, which will make her basic strong.
"You have to put pressure on your right leg when you slash ...…" that's how Amy's training started for an hour.
It was close to an hour now and Amy was practicing the moves I showed her by herself. I was not shocked by her talent for swords as I knew her fascination for swords both in my first life and this one.
[Ding! System's update is now complete. Please check your status for more details.]
'System what happened before?'
[Host please check your status first.] said the system in a beautiful voice of a women.
