4 The beginning to the end

I found a paper and pen.

My knowledge of this world is based of a novel.

It isn't specific enough.

Ive read enough novels to know if I truly reincarnated into this world all knowledge wouldn't be in the novel.

I spoke aloud.

"What is my current biggest goal to accomplish"

"Currently my status is mediocre, I have no money and no real power to make any significant change. "

My knowledge even with current memories is not enough, I would need to find a library to see if my knowledge even matches with this world.

I have to know by myself I can't change the ending of the novel, sometimes even if you are the strongest person you can't do everything alone.

So I need to increase how much pull I have in society.

"Mhmm, that some problem for future me."

I need to try to have a greater depth of knowledge about this world. I am currently ahead of the main story which is beneficial.

"but would it always stay like that"

" so what ways can I improve"

I need money and knowledge, ways to improve the money situation is to start a company, start a mercenary group or for short term would be invest into something that will have a return.

The only issue is lack of funds, I can maybe fix that if I can hunt for some items in dungeons and sell them at market or go to the black market.

Issue being I won't make much money off current dungeons I can enter, I am too weak.

Second biggest thing is to improve my knowledge.

To check if this world is real or not I have to compare information, I can check the library that is located in the city.

The biggest issue currently would be my overall strength and how to improve it.

Come on.

Think.

Think.

"why don't I just focus on improving my stats before looking for items."

While that does work there is one slight issue

My rank limit.

Each person is born with a limit. This shows the potential your body would have, such as how much power it can hold. The main way people increase limit rank is by getting a blessing from a god. This the main way to increase ones limit in a quick way. However this isn't the best option.

That isn't the only way to increase strength but each person is limited in what there physical bodies can handle without any outside support.

This is why increasing limit rank is important.

I am currently stuck at only being able to reach a limit rank of C. I can train to my limit but with my talents it will take too long and my overall strength would increase at a snails pace.

Most people can increase there overall strength to reach the limit through training and expensive pills.

But people usually have secret manuals for that and it's kept hidden by the government and influential families. Pills are also expensive due to the materials being scarce.

Rank limit increase, usually needs a very very expensive potions to increase it little, better ways would be a gods blessing, or a fortunate encounter such as natural treasures.

"Ezekiel in the novel had such an encounter there was an item that broke the natural limit humans have and increased training speed by at least 2x."

If I wanna live in this world I know I have face dungeons, so why not go to one with a useful treasure.

I just can't remember the exact location.

In the novel it never gave a precise location it only gave the basic location, and skipped right into the dungeon.

Also this dungeon is a bit too high for my current combat level with it being a hidden dungeon, which won't be easy to clear.

That would be the third thing I wish to accomplish on my list it may seem to be most important but not yet.

" I should write down what I remember in the novel regarding investment opportunities, important discoveries that were found later in the novel, and write down products I can possibly produce and more"

In the current era , Technology has been advanced due to mana being integrated into technology. It's nothing like my old world. Even with my memories I'm still excited to see it.

The improved technology has led to the advancements of VR systems, easier sustainable energy and agricultural advancements.

Dungeons have allowed for a huge economic industry to be built.

This sector has to do with selling, and buying of items found in dungeons. The items can go from mana stones, skills and more: the most common item being equipment.

" In the novel it didn't go into a deep explanation of the business side of this world it more focused on dungeons and items."

'That's where I believe I should start'

In this next year my general plan should be to get more experience, knowledge and improve my stats.

I can train my stats with exercises for mana and physical body improvement. This may be a slow improvement but with my current financial status it's the only one I can go.

I am not strong enough to go right away and get the item from the dungeon yet.

For the next year I should focus on my training and improve my overall strength.

At the same time I need to find more in depth information of this world.

During this time I should also try to increase my wealth. With wealth I would be able to more in the future .

In the future I should make two groups.

The merchant group can focus on the production of item I remember and the mercenary group can focus on improving my power.

Individual power is good but power that comes with a group can be more helpful for certain events in the future.

After I have improved my power to something satisfactory I should go for the dungeon and break the limit.

"Maybe I should try lower dungeons and get some combat experience"

"I can sell items off to help get money for day to day activities. "

I'm glad I wrote this down

'Gurgle, gurgle'

"Ha I guess I'm hungry, how long have I've been busy for."

I looked for the time and it was already 1:00 P.M.

"I guess I missed lunch"

I stood up and went to the kitchen, the kitchen was small and just had the essentials. A stove top, a microwave, and coffee maker, and a fridge.

Everything looked futuristic, I know my memories are intact, but it still somehow feels like I'm seeing a lot of new things.

I open the fridge and see nothing.

At least nothing I can make a meal out of, I got milk, and juice.

I shook my head

"I really am living the broke life"

Maybe there is ramen in this world.

I went to the cabinets in search of some food.

And behold what caught my sight was nothing.

"I'll never figure this out"

What was wrong with the original me.

He was a complete slob there's mess in the room and no food.

Now I have to go buy some groceries.

"Mhmm, if I'm gonna be out I should visit the library, and I can also get some supplies"

There is an experiment I wish to try.

In the future of the novel there is a method to increase the mana stones grades.

If you think about it mana stones are just stones that hold mana, but each stone holds a different amount.

The experiment I want to make has to with increase the amount of mana in a stone, which would increase a grade.

People have been trying to do it the wrong way. They have been injecting the mana into it . But human mana is slightly pure at least in the sense when compared to the mana from a monster. There are two type of stones, one is a natural one found typically in the walls of dungeons and in the floor and the other is more like a monster core.

What is wrong is they inject slightly pure mana and it causes the stone itself to disintegrate.

Mana stones or the core itself is usually made from the crystallization of impure mana. This can be from the air in the dungeon or even the mana found in monsters.

Monsters can form a monster core and it's a huge gathering of impure mana, it can also be seen as a bigger mana stone. In the sense this is why a monster core is worth more that a normal mana stone found in the walls.

What I'm trying to do is see if it's possible to increase the grade of the mana stone found in walls, by increasing the amount of mana found within.

It should work since this is something found out in the future.

"Guess I'm going out, who knows maybe I'll find something good"

'Gurgle, gurgle'

"Ah, first stop some food"
