2023-03-20 04:07:30The next morning after Aron woke up, as soon as he rose from his bed, suddenly a voice rang in his mind saying, "SAY STATUS"
"What? STATUS?" and since he was still in a disoriented state from his sleep, Aron simply muttered what he had heard in his head in a confused manner.
However, the system didn't care whether it really was his intention or not. What mattered to it was whether the magic word was mentioned or not, and it was.
So right after Aron uttered the word trying to shake off his sleep, a blue screen suddenly appeared in front of him, displaying a series of information.

Just as his face was about to show some fear after witnessing a random screen suddenly pop in front of his face out of nowhere, a large amount of information started being flooded into his brain, overwhelming him to the point where he even forgot to express his fear.
And once it was completed being crammed into his head, the information started to assimilate within his mind till it reached to a point where it felt as if he had known every last detail about this information for years.
After a while when everything was done, Aron took a moment to immediately calm himself down before he started to review the new knowledge which he had acquired, seemingly out of nowhere.
Firstly, he learned how the system worked.
The system contained a vast amount of knowledge and it was in almost every field he could have even thought of, but if he wanted to get access to this kind of knowledge, Aron needed to buy them using System Points (SP).
And in order to buy them, all he needed to do was search for what he wanted and the system would provide a list with their corresponding prices. After selecting what kind of knowledge he wanted and purchasing it, the knowledge would then be assimilated into his brain, allowing him to completely understand it, after which he would be able to immediately use it.
Currently, there are only two ways for Aron to earn SP, one of which was the obvious one which was to complete the quests that were assigned by the system, but right now he only had one quest on the quest window and from the information that had been transferred to him not long ago, he could tell that it might be his only quest for a very long time.
And unless he did something unexpected or proved himself to be worthy enough for the system's standard, he wouldn't get any additional quests.
Another way for him to get SP was by utilizing the knowledge he received from the system by using it to create something useful, and that would later be analysed and graded by the system.
And depending on the grade points he will be assigned by the system as a reward, however, all the analysing, grading and rewarding of points would be done in the background so as not to constantly interrupt him, still, Aron could ask the system to show him his grades as a means for him to evaluate his products.
The system was using this method in order to encourage him to innovate and offer real-time rewards for it in the form of SP for his creations.
However, the system wasn't as merciless as one would think of it to be, it made sure that he doesn't start with zero SP by awarding 100,000 SP as a starter pack so as to prevent him from wasting a long time to earn points for a system he doesn't even know the importance of.
Another piece of information that he received from this new information was about the system's origin, but whenever Aron tried to contemplate it even in the slightest, all he saw was a string of random letters and voices which he couldn't understand.
And realizing that he couldn't understand it for the time being, Aron gave up trying to know about it until he had more time and had gotten used to the system.
The final aspect of the information given to him was about Runemaster, mentioned as his class in the list of the panel, but he only found its meaning and nothing other than that which puzzled him even more since it was listed in the panel before.
Since his body hasn't evolved for magic use and the system couldn't connect to the main server, all it could grant him was a fraction of the powers of a Runemaster, which was to inscribe runes on objects in order to influence the object's behavior or give them some properties. (He could escribe a firewood to have cold properties and when the firewood was burned, the fire emitted from it would be cold rather than hot.)
However, the information on how to use runes and all the other details about it were not provided to him, leaving him curious with just the short explanation at hand, as he was really curious and wanted to have more information about it, unfortunately, that was also left for later.
After spending about 30 minutes while accepting his current reality, Aron got up from his bed and headed to the bathroom to freshen himself up and prepare for the day.
...
When he left his room after cleaning himself, Aron headed to the dining table in order to join along with his family for breakfast and that was when he noticed his mother had her eyes swollen.
This sight pained him deeply since he knew that his mother must likely not have slept last night and spent a significant amount of time crying for her to have swollen eyes.
And since he knew the reason behind it, nothing but anger surged within him as he vowed to not let his family live through such a situation again and was also even more resolved to find what or who was the cause of his unfair expulsion in order to exact his revenge 100 fold for that person was responsible for making his mother cry.
He ate his breakfast quietly and refrained from bringing up the topic since it seemed like Rose was trying to hide her distress from him.
After breakfast he went back to his room, feeling that he needed to have a deep contemplation, a plan to make something, a future to plan and a debt to repay.
However, he had to start from somewhere at the very least.
....
Seven hours later, Aron left his room, wearing jogging clothes as he had a quest to complete.
During the time he spent in his room, Aron had been exploring maybe one of the most important features that came with the system, the System Shop.
When he started delving around in the shop, Aron discovered different branches of knowledge, filled with every technology he could think of. The only thing separating him and the knowledge were the System Points (SP), of which he had very few compared to the price of what he wanted to buy from the system.
So, after spending a few hours and sorting things based on price, Aron managed to find something that he could currently use in order to start earning money and get out of his massive debt.

Aron chose this program because he could use it as a means to earn money faster and repay his debt much more quickly, sparing any trouble that could cause his parents to have a heart attack if they learned about it later.
Additionally, it was easy for him to think of ways to utilize it since it was based on knowledge about what he had been studying as his major in University, so the barrier of entry for him was as low as it could possibly get.
After deciding what direction he wanted to go, Aron purchased the knowledge and then suddenly started having a headache of his life as the knowledge was being downloaded and assimilated into his brain, being made ready for him to use, but since he fainted, all those processes that happened went pretty unnoticeable for him.
And when he woke up, Aron realized that he now possessed a whole new knowledge that delved deep into how he could make the program. He could also simply extract a small part of the program's code and apply it to other places, as it gave him a comprehensive understanding and everything related to the subject of the knowledge.
So, he thought that it was worth the headache he had before fainting.
[ SP amount left: 0 ]
As he looked at his current amount of SP which had reached ZERO, Aron felt a bit sad for not having an infinite amount of SP, where he could have just learned everything that fancied him and his plans, without having to worry about meticulously planning anything to the very last detail in order to conserve SP.
So, he stood up, changed his clothes and went for a run as he had a daily quest to complete.
He was determined to earn the points, no matter how small they may be, they were points nevertheless.
And so, his journey with the system started with him rushing to complete one Punchman's workout and knowing that someone was in for a face-slapping moment of their life.
Only if they knew it. X3.

ARGHHHHHHHHH
“Oh my god,” Dreznor breathed, his eyes fixed on the five colossal wormholes unfolding before him in the distant sky.He had always known that wormhole technology existed within the Astral Conclave—at least in theory. It was the kind of thing whispered about in myths and legends, the stuff of old spacer tales passed down through generations. Most would live and die without ever seeing one.Now, he was seeing five at once, opening like rips in reality itself.At first, when he was told about the wormholes, he was afraid. He feared that he would be discovered. But those fears had been quickly put to rest. The little protagonist assured him that those options were already taken into consideration and planned accordingly. What it didn’t share, however, was that the empire had deliberately timed this delivery to coincide with the launch of Phase I of their wormhole and VR initiative. The chaos and sensor interference from that grand rollout would provide the perfect cover, ensuring that t
Phase I
Six months later.A full half-year of intensive planning, negotiations, amendments, and rework inside the Conclave's VR, translating to over a decade’s worth of accelerated time, finally bore fruit. The final plan, after countless revisions and compromises, had been unanimously accepted by all participating civilizations. Every representative, regardless of their status or influence, walked away satisfied with the outcome, marking a rare moment of total consensus in Conclave history.Yet, during this time, the empire had not remained idle or overly focused on diplomacy alone. It had worked in parallel, quietly and efficiently, laying the groundwork for the implementation phase. By the time the final plan was ready, the empire had already amassed a massive stockpile of mana stones, enough to power the creation of the first round of wormholes across the Conclave. Alongside that, thousands of tower stations had been preassembled and were ready to deploy.More significantly, the empire ha
About the Nexus
Since the top fifty representatives were already in agreement, the passing of the bill in the Conclave General Council was practically guaranteed, as long as none of the top ten civilizations used their veto power. Given the way voting was structured, those fifty civilizations alone could form a majority, despite the Conclave comprising over a hundred members.Even if a few among the top fifty had voted against it, the remaining civilizations had every reason to support the resolution. Just being part of this agreement granted them access to the empire, more specifically, to mana stones directly from the source. That meant no longer being forced to purchase them at inflated prices from the top fifty civilizations who had secured favorable trade terms.They would have voted in favor even if the promised technology had been underwhelming. But based on the test results and technical briefings, it was clear the benefits were real and significant. In the end, the resolution passed unanimou
Construction
Once the runic intent was fully imbued, Aron activated the rune. It had already been charged with enough mana to allow it to expand and cover the entire asteroid field.Executing such an operation while the representatives were still present in the Trade Hub would normally have been considered a significant risk. However, that risk had already been accounted for. During the asteroid collection phase, the field had been strategically placed in a position where the sun lay directly between it and the Trade Hub. The sun’s brightness, in both the visual and mana spectrums, combined with the sheer difference in scale between the star and the asteroid field, rendered the operation invisible to the Conclave’s passive sensors. Switching to active scans or extending sensor coverage into the solar system would have been a breach of agreement—an act that could be interpreted as preparation for a hostile move and provoke a swift, forceful response.It didn’t take long for the shield to finish dep
Confirmation
“Starting tomorrow, we will begin providing the mana stones for the creation of the first semi-permanent wormholes and assembling the planning committee. We will spend a year in VR accelerated time to finalize the plans based on the maps you must submit within the week,” Masmibi said, addressing the Conclave representatives. With those words, the long-standing negotiations had finally concluded, leaving only the implementation ahead.For the past three months, the Empire had been locked in tense negotiations with the Coalition, an alliance consisting of representatives who had finally agreed to accept the wormhole and VR technologies, deeming their benefits too significant to ignore despite the potential risks.At the start, the Coalition's demands were aggressive. They pushed for control over VR sectors that mirrored their civilizations' territories, and for a larger share of the profits from both the VR system and the proposed wormhole highway network. However, the Empire stood firm
KGHH!!!! BAM!!! KWACK!!!! BWOOGH!!!! CRACK!!!!
KGHH!!!! BAM!!! KWACK!!!! BWOOGH!!!! CRACK!!!!“Arghhhhh!!!!!!”A pained scream rang out, cutting through the brutal symphony of fists landing, bones cracking, and flesh being pounded inside the practice room of the enforcement forces building.The one on the receiving end was the interrogator, now unconscious, sprawled on the floor, his chest rising and falling in sharp, uneven breaths, a result of his internal injuries making it difficult for him to breathe.“Haaaah...”Dreznor stood above him, the only one still on his feet in the ring. He exhaled deeply, a satisfied grin tugging at the corners of his lips. His knuckles were smeared with blood, but none of it was his.Medics rushed in, kneeling beside the fallen man as they started performing emergency first aid before quickly loading him onto a stretcher and carrying him out. He had walked into this fight with arrogant confidence, expecting to be the one dishing out punishment, only to leave broken and beaten, a harsh lesson writt
Negotiating a Deal
BAM!The interrogation room door burst open as a formation of guards marched in, splitting off with practiced precision. Each moved to a corner of the room, securing their positions, while two remained at the entrance, stepping aside and standing at attention to allow passage.Dreznor didn’t flinch. His eyes stayed closed, his expression calm, as if the sudden intrusion meant nothing to him.A man in richly adorned garments entered, his posture regal, each step deliberate. Authority radiated from his very presence. He took the seat across from Dreznor without a word.A tense silence followed before Dreznor finally opened his eyes and said, “I greet Your Excellency,” in a tone of respectful acknowledgment. The man before him was the planetary leader—the most powerful individual on this world, whose distance from the central government gave him near-sovereign control.“Let’s begin with introductions. Who are you?” the man asked.“As your officers have already reported, my name is Drezno
Interrogation
Three Months LaterFrom the silence of space, a single ship could be seen descending into the atmosphere of a large, grayish planet, aligning itself with the traffic heading toward the largest port on the surface. It joined one of the seven tightly regulated lanes, each filled with ships maintaining a few hundred meters of distance, moving in perfect coordination.As the ship drew closer to the planet’s main port, a breathtaking scene unfolded: tens of thousands of vessels parked in a massive, truss-frame layered structure. Nearly a hundred thousand ships were arranged within an enormous open rectangular bay, organized in tiers to maximize space efficiency.Unlike most interstellar ports, there was no immigration checkpoint for this vessel. It glided forward unhindered, heading straight for its assigned docking bay within the colossal truss-framed structure. The moment it entered, a web of scanners activated, sweeping across the hull. Every detail was instantly analyzed and cross-refe
Briefing
{He is currently in a transit period and should arrive at his destination in about three months,} Nyx reported, her holographic form flickering slightly as she finished delivering her update to Aron, John, and Youssef—some of the few individuals aware of the operation from the start.“What plans and objectives do you have for him? What is his theme?” Aron asked, leaning forward slightly. He knew full well that there was a reason Dreznor had been selected the moment the ship confirmed he was the sole survivor.Each individual chosen by the little protagonist had a specific theme, a guiding principle, a source of conflict, and growth. It wasn’t just about assigning a role; it was a bond that aligned motivations on both sides, ensuring the endeavor didn’t become a one-sided arrangement.{Although not yet set in stone, we’re aiming to shape him into a revolutionary figure within the Conclave, someone who pushes for the abolition of slavery, and later, the emancipation and compensation of
