In the quiet rural village of Seongcheon, South Korea, lives a boy named Joon, whose world is filled with manhwa, anime, and novels. With no clear path ahead and no real prospects, Joon often dreams of a life filled with purpose, ambition, and adventure. He longs for the kind of power his fictional heroes possess — a System that could change everything.

One evening, that wish is granted.

A glowing, floating System Window appears before him — not inside a phone or computer, but in midair, responding only to him. It offers a life-altering opportunity: the ability to choose any profession and master it from scratch. With no one else aware or involved, Joon is the only system user in the world.

He selects his first class: Trader — the art of buying and selling stocks, navigating markets, and building wealth from knowledge and strategy. Starting with ₩500,000 in capital and a beginner’s toolkit of stats like Market Insight and Negotiation, Joon takes his first step into a reality-bending journey of XP, quests, and mastery.

From studying charts late into the night to executing risky trades with trembling hands, he gains XP one task at a time, leveling up and earning precious stat points. Every action matters. Every reward is earned. And every coin spent is tracked.

But this is only the beginning. With the power to one day become anything — from a footballer to a scientist, a chef to a tycoon — Joon must use his wits, will, and wisdom to ascend, all while keeping his System a secret.

This is a tale of dreams made real — one profession, one quest, one chapter at a time.

Morning light filtered gently through the thin curtains of Joon's small room, illuminating the familiar stacks of manhwa and notebooks on his desk. The peaceful village of Seongcheon was still waking up, its calm streets slowly stirring with life. But inside, Joon was already wide awake, his eyes fixed on the glowing system window that floated beside his desk.


His first quest had been completed last night: studying the stock market basics. The system's glowing text made everything feel official and important.

Joon's heart pounded. The choice was real now. He carefully opened his tablet and navigated to the stock market app he had installed earlier. His eyes scanned through the company listings, looking for a reliable stock to invest in.


Remembering the tips from his studies, he looked for a stable company with a good reputation.


He settled on Hanseo Electronics, a well-known tech company in Korea. The current price per share was ₩2,000. With ₩100,000 set aside for investment, Joon calculated he could buy 50 shares.
