Tyler's eyes fluttered open slowly, as he finally came to.
"Ughh... Yeah, extremely uncomfortable," he groaned in pain.
He felt disoriented, and his vision was too blurry to make out anything. He tried to stand up but he could only collapse back on the bed.
It took a few moments before the haze lifted and his sight cleared.
"Finally," he sighed, pushing himself up from the bed.
He was still feeling a slight throbbing headache but it wasn't something to be concerned about.
Letting out a deep breath, he called up his status screen.
[Name: Tyler Reyes]
[Age: 16]
[Strength: 7]
[Agility: 6]
[Stamina: 5]
[Intelligence: 7]
[Stat Point(s): 2]
[System Point(s): 0]
[Mission: Train Your Weak Body! (Recurring)]
[Knowledge: Financial Mathematics]
[System Store]
....
Tyler focused his attention on the [Knowledge] tab and on [Financial Mathematics].
The next moment, he felt like he was in the clouds as multiples stream of information started flooding his brain...
Or should he call them knowledges?
Tyler found himself getting dizzy for a moment but it faded quickly, allowing him to focus on what was going on his head.
....
Some few minutes later, Tyler let out a deep breath, with a bright smile on his shell-shocked face, as he collapsed on the bed.
"Wow!!! Insane!" He muttered, still in shock.
He couldn't believe what he had just witnessed. It was beyond anything that he could had ever imagined.
At first, Tyler had thought that the Specialised Knowledges under [Financial Mathematics] was just about building things like crypto currencies, advanced trading algorithms and other high tech stuffs that could revolutionise the financial market for maybe the next 100 years.
But what he didn't expect was that he just got himself access to what can be referred to as to the codex of the financial market.
He had expected that with the Specialised Knowledges, he would create a financial institutions even bigger than the biggest to exist in his past life.
But with the [Financial Mathematics] Primary knowledge branch, Tyler can do even more than that.
Not only can he use it to create the biggest financial institution in the world, but he can actually control the market to benefit himself.
One might ask what is the difference between what Tyler would do and what these financial institutions are already doing.
And the difference is huge. While in these financial institutions case, they use their influence to manipulate to their advantage, Tyler won't be doing this.
Instead, he would have the financial market in the palm of his hand. He would have access to every single information in the market, having knowledge of everything and anything related to the financial market before it even happens.
Not only that, but using the Specialised Knowledges, Tyler can create a bot that can passively make money for him, from tens of thousands of dollars, going up to hundreds of millions to billions of dollars daily.
And all these without triggering any red system's red flag.
But while all these sounds good and dandy, there's one tiny-enormous problem, which is Earth's current level of technological advancement.
If Tyler wants to use those Specialised Knowledges to create a system that will give him full, unrestricted and silent control of the world's financial market, and utilise the Specialised Knowledges to their maximum, he would need computing power far beyond even anything that was available in his previous life.
He would need so much that even thousands of supercomputers in the future like the Frontiers and El Capitan doesn't come close to allowing Tyler to achieve something like that.
Without even talking about infrastructure limitations, there's also the funding part and also the limitations from unavailable material resources to create the type of infrastructure he would need.
And these wasn't Tyler just inflating numbers to make things look grand.
From what he saw in his head, the Specialised Knowledges under [Financial Mathematics] can only be utilised at its best by a highly advanced civilisation that has gone beyond the intergalactic level.
It's just that crazy.
This means that the bare minimum level of infrastructure that Tyler would need if he wants to utilise the Specialised Knowledges to at least 1% would a perfect and functioning quantum computer.
Anything less than that? Don't even think about attempting it as the devices being used will just go up in smokes.
"Now I'm curious about everything related to the system," Tyler muttered, still yet to recover from the shock.
He couldn't help but think why he got the system and what it actually wants him to achieve.
One thing he learned in his past life about the world is that nothing's ever free. Even in the most beautiful and loving of relationship, there are strings attached.
Then what about him? Why was he given something that can potential give a man knowledge on how to become a literal god?
Tyler doesn't actually want to think about it. It had been nearly three days since he regressed and that those questions had always popped up, and every time he has pushed those questions down.
But after seeing what he can achieve, those questions came back stronger.
"What's the use thinking it? It's not like it will change anything. I just have to use the system to my outmost advantage and achieve my goals," he sighed, forcing a smile to his face.
Now with the Specialised Knowledges absorption process completed and Tyler fully recovered from the dizziness and disorientation, it was now time to put what he has to use.
He quickly got out of bed. He noticed that his clothes were soaked a little in his sweat and he decided to take a quick bath.
But before that, he wants to complete his daily mission first.
He immediately put on his only sneakers and left the house.
....
Some hours later, Tyler walked into the house with wobbly legs, slowly making way upstairs.
The workout had left him beyond exhausted as always. And all he just wanted to do at the moment was just take a bath and fall into a deep sleep.
But that's currently impossible for him as he not only has to go pick up Devin up from school, but he also has to get himself a laptop.
Yes, a laptop.
He intends to create a trading algorithm or in better terms, a bot that will be passively making money for him.
The not will be an extremely watered down version, not even close to 0.000001 of the real thing.
But even a droplet from this ocean was enough to flood the market, as by the time Tyler's done building it, it would be easily making at least $1,000 to close to $3,000.
That would be between $7,000 to $21,000 weekly, and $30,000 to $90,000 monthly.
Though it's not a lot considering what Tyler wants to achieve and the level if funding he will be needing in the future, but it would make for now.
He will use the money to set up his family first, then create a secure and efficient system to manage his funds, before expanding things.
And the system he's talking about is a trust and LLCs. As someone who was a financial analyst in his previous life, he understood the importance of these two things.
If structured well, he would become practically invisible to the world and still be making lots of noise.
But that would be for much later. For now, he would take his bath, go pick up Devin and purchase a laptop on the way.
