Ch 1

The stars were sparse, and a new day had arrived. On a large bridge across the sea stood a bewildered young man. At this moment, he stood there dumbfounded, staring at his surroundings and his current situation. Without hesitation, he pinched his face and felt a considerable pain before letting go.

"So, it wasn't a dream. Where am I exactly? Where am I now?" he muttered to himself.

"Wasn't I asked by that heartless boss to stay and work overtime last night? According to the usual routine, I should have worked until morning, but I didn't fall asleep last night either. And this body feels just like my high school days, it's like my high school self."

The young man looked at himself in the car mirror next to him, and a sense of astonishment washed over him. At this moment, he had no idea what he should do or could do. In the past, he wasn't actually this young; he had already gone through the hardships of life as a middle-aged man. His name was Minachi Shinya, an orphan who had worked hard and finally managed to get into a top university, and then found a job in a large company.

However, due to the lack of connections and his inability to get along with superiors, he had made no progress in his job. Even with his high qualifications, he remained stagnant. Meanwhile, his younger colleagues surpassed him one by one, taking higher positions. He had to work overtime tirelessly every day to earn a meager salary just to pay the rent. He couldn't save much money and couldn't afford to buy a house in the city, let alone have a life of his own. So, when he was approaching his thirties, he still didn't have a girlfriend. Life could be described as a significant failure.

And last night, as usual, he was asked by his boss to stay and continue working overtime. Reluctantly, Minachi Shinya had no choice but to work hard to avoid getting his salary deducted. However, when he opened his eyes again, he found himself in an unfamiliar place. That's right, he was now standing on this bridge. Suddenly appearing in a strange place and having his body transform back to his high school self terrified him.

"Ding, system loading."

"Please don't be afraid, host, and please don't hide."

"10%, 20%, 50%, 80%, 100%."

"System loading complete. The Ultimate Peak Life System is now at your service."

"Please ask any questions you may have, and afterwards, you can choose the life you desire."

At this moment, Minachi Shinya was puzzled by the appearance of the system in his mind. He didn't know where this system came from or what its purpose was. So, he asked directly, "Where did you come from, system? And what is your purpose?"

The system replied, "I was born from a peculiar substance in the vast universe, created by the hands of the Supreme God. This universe is not the one you are familiar with; it is a much broader multiverse. I was created simply because the Supreme God felt a bit itchy and randomly created me. I was intended to assist someone with an unlucky life, to help them change their destiny and grant them the life they desire. There are thousands of systems like me under the Supreme God's command, each with a different name but similar functionalities. I am bound to you this time because the Supreme God noticed you, saw the fate of your life, which is quite miserable and challenging. The Supreme God has always favored hardworking individuals and seeing someone as diligent as you not receiving the corresponding rewards, he waved his hand and sent you to a new world to start anew."

After listening to the system's explanation, Minachi Shinya finally understood why he ended up in this unfamiliar place and why his body had returned to its youthful appearance. Now, Minachi Shinya felt particularly happy because he finally believed that he had the chance to turn his life around and look forward to an endless stream of good days.

"What are you waiting for, system?" he exclaimed.

"Give me the life I desire the most. I want to be rich, I want to be wealthy, I want to live happily every day, counting money until my hands cramp."

These were the highest dreams of the ordinary Minachi Shinya. Now, with this system, all these dreams could easily come true.

"I'm sorry, host, but you cannot have that yet. You must choose a career as the pursuit of your peak life. After all, I am here to assist you in achieving the life you desire, but it won't be handed to you without effort. Therefore, you must choose a profession," the system replied.

Minachi Shinya hadn't expected that even with the system, he would still need to choose a job to obtain rewards. However, it didn't matter much to him since he had been constantly working overtime before. Now, it was just a matter of changing to a different job. Moreover, with the system's assistance, he was confident he could reach the pinnacle of life.

"Alright then, system. I choose to become a boss, a chairman of a large company," Minachi Shinya said.

"I'm sorry, but please provide a more detailed description," the system requested.

"Becoming the chairman of a large company alone is quite simple. However, you need to specify the industry."

"Do I need to choose an industry? That's quite troublesome. I don't know how this world has developed now," Minachi Shinya pondered.

"Don't worry, host, this world is still quite safe," the system reassured him.

"This world was chosen based on the world you desired in your mind, commonly known as the two-dimensional world. When the Supreme God chose which world to send you to, it also fulfilled your dreams and brought you to the world of two dimensions. The current time is approximately around 2004, just before the Fifth Holy Grail War. It's a relatively safe world."

Minachi Shinya felt delighted upon hearing that the time was in 2004. At this time, the world's technology, especially in terms of the internet, hadn't fully developed. If he chose a career related to the internet, he would undoubtedly achieve great success in the future.

However, he became apprehensive when he heard that he had arrived in a two-dimensional world, specifically the legendary Type-Moon world. Moreover, it was on the eve of the Fifth Holy Grail War. That's why the bridge he was standing on felt so familiar. Wasn't this the famous Eastern Holy Grail War Bridge? The place where Golden King and the Great Emperor had their final battle. It was an iconic scene!

This world was not simple; it had various types of magic, five major magi, True Ancestors, Dead Apostles, and Heroic Spirits. In this Type-Moon world, there were countless parallel worlds, forming a vast universe. However, this world was also dangerous. For ordinary people, facing the people of the Reverse Side of the World was like being served on a plate. Even magi could accidentally be recognized as a threat by the Clock Tower and end up being preserved in formalin.

If Minachi Shinya wanted to survive in this world, it wouldn't be easy. Fortunately, he had no intention of living a turbulent life this time; he only wanted to live peacefully at the peak of his life. So, he said, "System, I want to become the president of a company involved in the second-dimensional industry."

"Alright, host. Your wish has been received. Based on the Supreme God's instructions, let's begin fulfilling your dreams," the system replied.

At this moment, Minachi Shinya was ecstatic. He was about to become the president of a company in the two-dimensional industry. After all, apart from work, watching second-dimensional videos was his favorite thing to do. In this world, since the internet and its associated second-dimensional products, such as web novels, were still in their early stages of development, he could establish a firm foothold and take a big slice of the cake.
