He lost both of his parents due to a bank heist at the age of 14. Due to his young age, he joined an orphanage, but it turned out to be secretly owned by a group of gangsters.
He was exploited together with the other children in the orphanage, before finally, at the age of 16, he joined the gang, being valued for his intelligence.
Working for the gang as an accountant in charge of the income of the gang, he used all the money that he earned to purchase books on accounting. He wanted to study, gain real skills, and see if he could join a legitimate company as an accountant.

Who would have expected that due to his effort, one night, just as he was done reading, a holographic screen popped up in front of his eyes.

[Welcome to the Information to Mastery: Points Store System, Michael Santos.]

"The first VIP item is a priority acquisition right for a commercial development project in the central business district.


The opening bid starts at $5,000,000, with a minimum increment of $50, 000." The auctioneer announced.


Unlike during the ordinary items auction, this time, the auctioneer did not explain about the item. The reason behind this being that the information regarding all of this was possessed by the VIP and VVIP guests.


Of course, since Michael had gotten his card from the system, he did not receive the notification. But after today, before the next auction, he would be informed about what would be auctioned in advance.


This would allow him to be able to prepare, in case he needed anything. Basically, this was a method that the auction house used in order to ensure that the price of the items auctioned would rise to the highest level possible.
