The blinding light of the sun seeped through the torn curtains, waking the young man sleeping on the old-looking bed.
"Fuck! Who opened the curtains?" Kaito cursed as he opened his eyes. For a moment, the sunlight falling directly on him made him feel as if he had gone blind; however, slowly, his vision returned.
'Where is this?' This was an unfamiliar room, giving off unsettling vibes, with a few cobwebs making their presence quite visible.
Kaito slowly got up from the bed and looked around, trying to remember how he had ended up here, but he couldn't recall anything at all. His mind was blank regarding this predicament. 'Did I get kidnapped or something?' he thought. But if that were the case, he would have been bound, not left like this on the bed.
Something different was going on here, and to find out what it was, Kaito finally made his way toward the window. The first thing he saw outside was old houses that seemed to belong to a bygone era; there wasn't a towering building in sight, making him feel as if he had arrived in some kind of different world.
"Now that I think about it, the air here feels quite refreshing," he muttered, taking a deep breath. Just then, his gaze fell upon a person—specifically, a woman. As she walked down the street, her round and big peaks bounced gracefully under her clothes, captivating his attention.
What intrigued him even more were the dog-like fluffy ears on her head. Instead of human ears, she had two long, fluffy ears atop her head.
"What's this? An isekai world or something?" Kaito joked, as beast people only existed in that kind of setting. But looking at that woman, he couldn't help but feel his hidden desires awakening.
After watching numerous mangas, anime, and cosplays, Kaito had always wanted to play or to be precise have a taste of those ears but had never gotten the chance to fulfill his fantasies.
Ding...
Just as Kaito was contemplating his not-so-good luck, which could help him fulfill his deep hidden desire, he suddenly heard a dinging sound in his ears. "What was that?" he looked around, but there was nobody nearby.
'Am I hearing things now?' However, the same dinging sound echoed again; this time, a strange translucent screen appeared in front of him as well.
[Ding... Congratulations to the host for successfully transmigrating to an isekai world. You have successfully awakened the Unlimited Spendthrift System.]
"Fuck! What's this? A real system has shown up in front of me." Kaito cursed, almost raising his voice a little.
Being an avid reader of manga, this thing called a system was no foreign concept to him, since this was part of a trope where most protagonists had a system with them the moment they transmigrated into a different world or simpler term getting isekaid.
And those who didn't get systems were already a menace to the world without them; if they had one, only God knew what would have happened.
Anyway, leaving those thoughts aside, he focused on the system and the term 'Spendthrift money,' since from what he knew, this kind of system was never activated in an isekai world. Only strength-giving systems were loved by the protagonists.
So the question that arose in his mind was: why did he awaken this system, and more importantly, how the hell did he transmigrate? From what he knew, he was perfectly fine before sleeping and neither he had any illness.
But now that he had already transmigrated in this world, he didn't think he would get any answers to that question, so without a second thought, he threw those thought in dustbin.
"So, system, can you talk?" Taking a deep breath, Kaito asked; hoping his system would be also like those talkative system.
Time passed as he waited for an answer, but nothing came from the system, except for the translucent screen that hovered in front of his eyes for a few minutes before changing the words displayed on it.
[Status]
Name: Minami Kaito
Race: Human [Transmigrator]
Wealth: Unlimited
Stats:
Strength: 7 Mana: 0
Wisdom: 8 Agility: 6
Endurance: 10 Perception: 5
[Note: The only way to increase stats is by spending the system's funds; the stat increases will happen randomly upon spending money.]
As the status window appeared on the system's interface, Kaito stared at it for quite a while. "Looking at this, the normal limit is 10, I guess?" he muttered.
Except for endurance, everything else was fluctuating up and down, but that didn't bother him much. However, seeing the mana stat completely empty, he realized one thing: this world has magic, but his body didn't have an ounce of mana. 'Thankfully, I have a system,' he thought, breathing a sigh of relief, as he loved the concept of magic.
But as he read the note, a bit of worry crept into his mind. Since the stat increases would happen randomly, if his bad luck had followed him here, then his life would face many hurdles. "But I have money, which is a good thing, since money is the only thing that can rival power in certain scenarios."
Thinking all of this, Kaito sat back down on the bed and clicked on the wealth option; the first thing he wanted to check at the moment was how to retrieve money from the system.
So he clicked on the option, which prompted another dinging sound and a small screen appeared out of nowhere.
[Do you wish to retrieve money?]
[YES|NO]
The two options appeared under the question, and right under those options, another small line was written in a note.
[Note: Money can be summoned by the host with his thoughts, which will directly appear in the host's clothes pocket. The storage location can be changed manually. Currency: Copper, Silver, Gold, and Platinum.]
Looking at the note, a small smile spread across Kaito's face.
'This is good.' If he had to click on a notification every time he wanted to take out money, that would have been a significant hassle for him. 'Anyway, system, retrieve 10 silver coins and 1 gold coin for me,' he gave his first order and for a second, nothing happened; however, all of a sudden, he felt as if his pocket had turned heavy out of nowhere.
