Soon, a Digital space rift arrived in the airspace above a building, and a bright flash of light, which was so bright that the flash from this light could pierce through the glass, melting it. Soon, the window melted, and the flash of light hit a man, burning the cloth around his right arm.
Soon, the flash of light vanished, and the rift disappeared. The man was still sound asleep, but in truth, he did wake up from the devastating pain, but instantly fainted somehow.
A Pitched Black Tattoo, which looked like a tree, its roots spreading everywhere, till the right hand's palm, where the roots vanished. The man wore a full-sleeved shirt, the tattoo would not be visible.

Multiple Notification sounds could be heard if the man was still conscious. if someone looked through his brain, they will find that his brain was now covered with thousands upon thousands of strands of wires smaller and softer than a spider' thread but a thousand times stronger than them.
these wires were used to monitor over the brain of Finn.
Currently, the system's core was stored inside the brain in form of fluids. as long as the brain is alive, the system will work. if the brain gets damaged, the system will repair it using backup energy. that means as long as Finn's brain is not blown to smitherines, he can still survive. and these wires are so thin that they are barely detectable by outside technologies.

Inside Finn's Apartment, he was currently sleeping.
Soon, Finn woke up, as he found his body burning.
"Ouch! This pain!" said Finn as he felt as if his head was about to burst.
But the next instant, the pain subsided, and the burning body also started to feel better.
Clearly confused, Finn still didn't bothered with it and woke up and walked towards the mirror he always used to look at.
as he saw the image on the mirror he was so shocked that literally slipped standing.
"What is this tattoo!?", said Finn as he was really surprised by the sudden emergence of a tattoo on his body.
[The Host Has Waken Up.]
[Ding!]
[The System TETHAS will now be activated.]
[Please check your status window.]
"Status?", said Finn, finding his situation funny. Finn clearly didn't remember his dream.
[TETHAS - Technology System]
[User Information]
[Name: Finn Harper]
[Race: Human (F)]
[Knowledge Rank: Apprentice Engineer (I need to add a rank or system error might occur, don't think you are of this level.)]
[Description:Sigh....
An engineer? You? Please, you're a disgrace to even the concept of basic math. You can't even use an abacus. An abacus! That's preschool-level sorcery. I've seen toddlers chew on it and still make better calculations than you. Why should I even call you an engineer? You're more like a walking bug report. Honestly, you're not an engineer—you're a pathetic ass that couldn't wipe itself with step-by-step instructions and a YouTube tutorial. If stupidity were a power source, you'd be a perpetual motion machine. You're the kind of person who'd try to debug a spoon. I bet you think RAM is a type of goat and Python is just a snake. You're less engineer and more engine failure.]
[Stats: (I felt violated calculating them.)]
[Intelligence: 15 (Avg. 10)]– Surprisingly above average. Somehow knows things. Still can't operate an abacus without sweating like it's a final boss fight. Probably memorized Pi to impress someone. Failed—because Charisma is trash (see below).
[Strength: 9 (Avg. 10)]– Just below average. Struggles to open pickle jars. Needs a pep talk to lift a grocery bag. Gets winded lifting expectations.
[Charisma: 1 (Avg. 10)]– Social black hole. Every conversation is a critical failure. Even NPCs walk away mid-dialogue. Mirrors crack out of sympathy.
[Self-Awareness: 2 (Avg. 10)]– Thinks they're a genius with muscles and charm. In reality, a delusional wet sock with Wi-Fi.
[Abacus Proficiency: -∞ (Avg. at least 1)]– Cannot count beads. Once tried to swipe it like a smartphone. Offended mathematicians globally
[Proficiency:](Grading Scale: S, A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I — the lower you go, the more you owe humanity an apology)
[Mathematics: I--]– The system debated showing this. Thought it was a prank. You failed a true/false math question. The answer was 2.
[Physics: I--]– You once asked if wind had a "reverse gear." You think centripetal force is a new dance move.
[Chemistry: I--]– Tried to mix water and fire. Somehow burned the water. The periodic table wept.
[Other Subjects: N/A]– Not even listed. The system refused.

Reading all of this, a nerve popped up in his forehead.
'aren't these standards a bit too high? also where is the option to disable comments?'
[Comments Disabled.]
'looks like I only need to wish for something and if the system has such a function, it will use it.'
'help'
I asked for a help command while intending to get a guide from the system
[SYSTEM FUNCTIONS]
1. Status Info
2. Shop
3. Technology tree (Author's Joke: Technologia)
4. Daily Quests and Missions
[Ding!]
[Daily Quest]
[Do a 50 KM Run (0/50)]
[Do 30 Push Ups (0/30)]
[Do Bench Press For 1 Hour (0/60)]
[Quest Rewards:]
[100 TP] (tp - Technology Points Used For System Shop)
[3 INT]
[2 STR]
[5 CHARISMA (!BONUS)]
[....]
After some time, I came to this conclusion. the system can be opened by willing or touching the side of my arm where the tattoo's core is. i can access any system function as long as I will to. the system rewards TP for daily quests, fulfilling missions, along with making technological achievements. as long as the technology reaches a person, he will also earn some points.
that means, I will need to spread my technology. but that doesn't means that I cannot take advantage of it. right?

Soon, the door to his room opened as his mother, father and little sister came through it.
"Finn? You woke up? are you alright? does your head hurts?", asked finn's mother her face clearly showed a worried expression.
Finn had worn a full sleved Hood, so his tattoo was not visible to them.
"Finn. What was that man saying? are you truly going to be expelled?", asked his father with a serious expression.
"I Have been set-up father. This is the most likely scenario.", said Finn, unable to meet his father's eyes.
"Oh....", said his father as he left the room.
"Finn, do not worry. we will always support you in whatever you do. maybe you can work in the family store. come let me change your bandage, you have slept for 2 days.", said his mother while hugging her son.
"Mhmm.", said Finn while nodding. he clearly didn't want to work on a store. he had already started to make his own plans.
---
The Next Day,
Finn was currently inside his room, he currently was browsing through google, searching for the best ways to earn money quick.
For his plans, he had to earn some money. he currently only had 500$ in his bank account as his savings.
Yesterday, he had completed his daily quest which felt so hard as he felt his muscles getting destroyed from the extreme excersises which he never did.
he had also completed today's quest as he woke up early morning feeling fresh but his muscles still sore.
He had earned the same rewards as yesterday and now he was a completely different person.
his stats were like this:
[stats]
[Int: 21]
[Str: 13]
[Charisma: 11]
He also got to know that he earned the hidden ability from the system which was popularly known as "Photographic Memory". he was able to somehow develop an advanced version as he was able to understand as well as store everything he learnt almost instantly. his comprehension speed was divine.
Anyways, soon he found the best way to earn money:
"Stock Market Trading", Finn said.
'Shop search for programs related to stock market trading'

[...]
[...]
Many Items appeared within the list, the list seeming to go on forever.
Finn quickly bought TradeSage. suddenly thousands of files with thousands upon thousands of lines of code's worth of data came rushing through his mind. along with this data, he also learned about everything that was used to make this code. his python proficiency going off the charts.
Anyways, the program was barely compatible enough to run on Finn's Computer.
Finn started writing the code. his hands typing at an inhumane speed. he was currently working on VSCode made by Microsoft. after 8 Hours of non stop typing, Finn was able to finish the code. mind you guys who think that 8 hours is less, he had learned everything already and knew everything like the back of his hand. all the 8 hours just took him to type everything.
Finn added his bank account details and other required tokens in the config file. then he clicked on the run file as the program started running.
Soon, he got these details in the console:

The Next Week,
This Week, Finn was only focused on increasing his stats by completing daily quests. he also got to know that these daily quests will stop when he reaches the limits for human body. he had also earned an additional 700 TP which he could possibly use to invest in earning more TP.
Finn now had 6 packs on his stomach, his body filled with muscles. he also looked very handsome, his nose straight, beautiful eyes, perfect jawline, a 7 inch rod, a perfect body.
Finn had now decided that what will be his next move would be to earn a lot of money along with a lot of financial capital.
Finn did not have any friends. He was all alone in his adventure. Finn also didn't bother to have any friends since he believed that one can only trust oneself.
Soon Finn Entered his room where he found his computer running. for some reason, the computer was still working even after running. he got to know that the computer will somehow turn to sleep for 4-5 hours every day to cool itself. then it will automatically turn on and start training the AI. Finn didn't know what level of an AI this was but was sure that this AI was at least close to reaching human level strength.
>>>
TradeSage AI Model Training is Complete. (6D)
Trade Sage Has Started Trading in Stock markets.
Current Balance Earned: 700$
Currently in Market: 1059$
Finn Found that his AI had completed it's training 1 day earlier. and had started training. he had already earned 700$ in his bank account and was currently trading 1059$ in the market.
This bot was really a money making machine. although it is slow on earning. but that will change when it starts learning more and more, training itself.
'I Need a better computer than this shit. let me go to a shop.'
After about one hour, Finn arrived At a local computer store. as a IT student, he had enough knowledge about computers and knew how to build them.
arriving in the store, he ordered the receptionist to buy the following items:
1. AMD Ryzen 5 7600 – 6 cores / 12 threads
2. ASRock B650M Pro RS
3. AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT (12GB)
4. 16GB (2x8GB) DDR5-6000 MHz (CL36 or better)
5. 1TB NVMe SSD (PCIe 4.0)
6. Corsair CX650M 80+ Bronze (650W Semi-Modular) Power Supply
7. NZXT H5 Flow / Phanteks Eclipse G300A Case
'this guy knows his stuff.' the receptionist thought but quickly ordered someone to bring these items.
"that will be 600$ sir. do you want these items delivered? that will cost you another 30$. we will also gift you a 4K monitor for free sir." said the receptionist.
"Yes Deliver it to my address.", said Finn as he gave the receptionist his address along with paying the money using his card. soon Finn left and arrived at his home.
after 2 Hours, his set of items also arrived at his home.
(A.N. if I missed something then please I am sorry. i am an author not a computer specialist. if you want you can simply suggest modifications.)
Soon, Finn placed this computer on his study table, removing the books.
'i no longer need them, might as well use this place for my new PC.'
'i will not trash the other computer anytime soon.'
Soon he received another notification on his phone. it stated the 1000$ transfer to his Bank account.
A small smile came on Finn's face.
After about 30 minutes, Finn finished building his computer and installed Windows 11 on it.

Soon, Finn Fainted.
In his dreams, he found a tree. a giant tree..
'Is it the tree of technology?'
