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.

Joon sat at his small wooden desk, the morning light filtering softly through the thin curtains of his room in the quiet village of Seongcheon. The familiar glow of the system window hovered in the air beside him, patiently waiting as always.


A new notification blinked into existence.


Make Your First Profitable TradeUse your knowledge to buy and sell stocks for a profit of at least ₩10,000 in one trade.


Joon's heart quickened. This was his chance to prove himself—not just to the system, but to himself. He dove into researching promising companies, market trends, and news, scanning pages of stock data on his old laptop.


One company caught his attention: Daeil Soft, a small but steadily growing tech startup. Recent rumors of a new product launch made it a prime candidate.


Joon decided to invest ₩150,000 to buy shares at ₩2,000 each. He carefully placed his order, hands trembling slightly.


The following days were a whirlwind of tension. Joon monitored Daeil Soft's stock price constantly, analyzing patterns and news reports. Slowly, the price began to climb, hitting ₩2,150 per share.


Without hesitation, Joon sold all 75 shares.

Joon smiled, excitement bubbling up. He immediately allocated his new stat points:

With renewed confidence, Joon leaned back in his chair. This was only the beginning — the first step toward a future he had only dreamed of.
