Youth.

A force that could develop a person's memories for the entirety of their lifetime yet so short that it might as well not exist. Once upon a time, he, Hikigaya Hachiman, too had been a firm believer in youth. Doing things that they would never do in actual society and challenging boundaries that they would never challenge were the things he had done under the name of youth. It had taken him being burned with the fires of humiliation for him to finally realize the truth.

Youth was a lie.

It didn't matter how young you were, society still operated the same. If you had something to give, money, power, recognition, etc…, you would naturally be able to enjoy your life. Those who had nothing to give will be stuck at the bottom of the barrel, scraping away at whatever was left behind by the social elites. He too used to be such a bottom feeder until he realized that no matter what he did, he would never be popular. Therefore, by the end of his Junior high school life, Hikigaya Hachiman came to a conclusion.

'It's just better to give up and stop trying.' He taught himself. Escaping from his past was far easier than he expected it to be. The school he used to go to was not that great in terms of the academic qualities of its students. All he had to do was to get into the best school in the city, which happened to be Sobu and he was immediately free of anyone who knew his past.

Now, no matter how much he denied it, Hachiman knew that deep within himself, the naïve little boy who wanted friends was still looking forward to going to high school and making some friends. That dream, however, was promptly crushed by a car accident that had left him unable to move for a month, a fatal blow to anyone hoping to form new connections.

When it came to forming cliques and friend circles, a week or two was the most it took for people to get an idea on who to be friends with and who to avoid. Anyone who came after this period was an outsider and outsiders don't do well in any society. Therefore, Hikigaya Hachiman was relegated to his position at the bottom of the social ladder once again, something he had accepted after a year here.

This brought us to the current situation which, to an outsider was nothing short of strange. Hikigaya Hachiman, the lowest of lows in Sobu's social hierarchy was sitting in a room, reading a light novel with a girl that stood alone at the top of Sobu's hierarchy.

If one were to show a picture to one hundred random people of Yukinoshita Yukino, you would get the answer that she was an otherworldly beautiful girl from all the hundred people. The fact that Yukinoshita Yukino was beautiful was as true as saying the sun rises from the east. Even Hachiman, who rarely paid any attention to his schoolmates, knew about her, showing just how popular the girl was.

Under normal circumstances, Hachiman wouldn't be qualified to stand within fifty feet of the Yukinoshita princess so why was he sitting in a room alone with her you ask? Well, his lovely Modern Japanese and Homeroom teacher (who definitely wasn't a Christmas cake), had politely (read that as with the threat of physical violence) asked him to join this Service Club that Yukinoshita had been running. Given the fact that they were the only two members in the club for the foreseeable future, Hachiman was already adapted to spending time in the presence of Yukinoshita.

If he were a normal high school boy, Hachiman would have had delusions about his chances of getting close to the ice lady opposite him but Hachiman held no such delusions. No matter how beautiful the venomous-tongued woman opposite him was, they were fated to live in different worlds.

"Did you just think something rude about me, Hiki-I can't even come to the club at a proper time like a normal person-gaya-kun?" Yukinoshita was sharp as ever.

"You must have imagined it Yukisnoshita-san." He lied. Both of them went back to reading their respective pieces of literature afterward.

Time passed and as Hachiman was reaching the climax of his Light Novel, he was suddenly assaulted by a mechanical voice in his head.

[Yes] [No]

"Woah!" The sudden and unexpected situation coupled with the fact that his sitting posture was less than ideal for facilitating sudden movement made it so that Hikigaya Hachiman experienced a fall that would have made Humpty Dumpty proud.

"Ouch!" Hachiman moaned in pain as he rubbed his head which had taken a bump in the fall. To his surprise, almost half of his vision was still clouded by the system message which indicated that this was not a delusion.

"Have you finally gone senile, Hiki-I can't even sit properly-gaya-kun?" Yukinoshita asked with half-part concern and ridicule in her voice.

"I'm fine." Hachiman collected himself and sat down before turning his consciousness towards the foreign element in his head.

[Oi system?] He asked in his head. As an avid reader of internet media and Chinese Web Novels, Hachiman knew perfectly well what a system was. After all, it was an element that could be said to be an integral part of the plots of multiple Korean as well as Chinese novels. Even Japanese web novel authors were starting to catch up to the trend of the system nowadays. However, he simply had trouble understanding that he was chosen for such a system. It almost felt like he was in a badly written fanfiction for some reason.

[Yes Host?] The system answered in his head.

[What does the system do?] As far as he knew, there were several types of systems. Some gave power, some were like game systems with stats and skills, some showed the future, etc…

[To answer the host, the Sign-In Wealth System allows the host to sign in once every day. The system will provide the host with a multitude of gifts that could be anything from items that improve the host's wealth or personal skills.]

To say that Hikigaya Hachiman was overwhelmed would be an understatement. He was simply sitting in the clubroom a moment ago and now he was a billionaire? Just as he was starting to suspect that he was going mad, his phone vibrated. Upon opening it, he saw the message that One Hundred Million Yen had been transferred to his account. Before he could accept everything, countless fighting techniques started pouring into his mind as his body adapted to his newfound skills. In what felt like an eternity but only lasted a fraction of a second, his entire muscular and skeletal system was rewired to be able to use his skills properly.

After sitting there for a while, Hachiman calmly stood up from his seat and asked "Yukinoshita-san, I would like to take leave now. Something urgent has come up."

"I see. I suppose it is time we closed the club for today. Don't be late tomorrow, Hiki-tardy-gaya-kun". Yukinoshita stood from her seat as well.

As he exited the room, the first thing Hachiman did was punch himself in the face, hard. After tasting blood and realizing that he wasn't dreaming, he ran to where his bicycle was parked and made his way home.

"Welcome back Onii-chan." His precious little sister was there to greet Hachiman as he entered their house. "Wait! What happened to you, Onii-chan?" Komachi asked worriedly, referring to his face which still had the marks of being punched.

"Don't worry Komachi, I fell from the cycle on the way." Hachiman lied as naturally as he breathed.

"Be more careful Onii-chan. If something were to happen to you, Komachi would be the only one to take care of you. I bet that scored lot of Hachiman points!" Komachi squealed.

"Of course". Hachiman said as he gently rubbed his sister's head who moved closer to him like a cat. "Let me freshen up myself, okay?"

"Okay."

After taking a bath and moving into his room after drying himself to get clothed, Hachiman noticed that something was different about him now. His body, which, while no means fat or thin, was looking far more muscular now with a healthy amount of it being visible. Of course, his new physique wasn't anything exaggerated like one would see on social media but it still did hold well-defined muscles, to the point that his normally loose clothes were hugging his body more closely.

Before he could leave the room, his phone rang which was something Hachiman was completely unused to.

"Is this Director Hikigaya?" The voice on the other side belonged to a middle-aged man. Since he did not have this number saved, he had no idea who it was.

"Who might this be?" Hachiman asked politely.

"My name is Karuizawa Takeo. I work as the CEO of KT Constructions Ltd as well as a director of the company. We have received news that you have purchased ten percent of our shares and wanted to get in contact with you to know your plans for the company." The other party was polite as well.

Hachiman had conducted a quick Google Search on KT Constructions after he had left the club room and learned that it was a company that was valued at around one hundred billion Yen on the stock market. This meant that the ten percent he held was valued at roughly around ten billion Yen. Hachiman was also informed by the system that he would be unable to cash out the shares for three years which meant that he was going to be a shareholder for the foreseeable future. As someone who had no idea on how to manage anything, he had no interest in the management of the company.

However, what Hachiman didn't know was the fact that his ten percent was simply the highest single holding of shares in the company which meant that he now held considerable power in the company.

"Karuizawa-san, I would like to inform you that my purchasing those shares is purely an investment decision and I have no interest in the management aspects. I believe that you are doing an amazing job." Hachiman praised the other party.

"Is that so, Director Hikigaya? Then I would like to express my thanks for the praise and I assure you that the company will only be going forward from now. We will not disappoint you." When he had originally heard that someone had bought ten percent of the company's shares, Karuizawa Takeo was worried that a hostile takeover might be imminent and that his position was in jeopardy. However, after talking to the other party, his worries were eliminated a lot since the other party seemed genuine.

After a few perfunctory dialogues with the CEO, Hachiman finally hung up the phone.

"Who was that, Onii-chan?" Komachi, who had made her way to his room, asked.

"It was the director of a company that your Onii-chan has invested in. He called to introduce himself."

"Invest? When did Onii-chan start investing?" Komachi might be a Junior-high school student but more advanced financial topics like investment were foreign to her.

"I started with the money I received on the New Year after you tried running away from home. I realized that the only way that I can guarantee that I will be here for you at all times is if I can make a lot of money without working." Hachiman explained while rubbing Komachi's hair, who looked confused.

"Then do you have a lot of money now, Onii-chan?"

"Of course. Your Onii-chan is really rich now." Hachiman gloated.

"Then can you give Komachi some pocket money?" Komachi asked with the cutest puppy dog eyes in the world.

"Anything for you Komachi. Let Onii-chan go to the bank tomorrow and withdraw some money."

"Okay."

Dinner in the Hikigaya household was peaceful with just Hachiman and Komachi present. Their parents had informed that they would be late due to work reasons which was something both of them were already used to. While internally resolving to take care of his parent's situation, Hachiman went to sleep and contrary to his regular behavior, woke up early.

[Today's Daily Login is now available.]

[Would you like to activate it?]

Now that he realized that the previous day was not a dream, Hachiman was fully awake now.

[Yes] He said in his head.

[Congratulations! You have received the ownership of Apartment Complex No 2A in the Market District]

[All Documents of the transfer have been completed and are available in the system space. Rent from existing tenants will be transferred into the Host's bank account every month.]

Compared with the shares of KT Ltd which was worth ten billion Yen, the Apartment complex he received was of a much lower value at 200 million Yen. However, according to the system, nineteen out of the twenty available suites were currently occupied and would generate a revenue of 3.8 million Yen every month at 200k per month for each tenant. As for the last room, he planned on moving there from this house as soon as possible. After all, the neighborhood he lived in currently was for middle-class people and didn't provide much in the way of security.

With these ideas in mind, Hachiman made his way to Sobu knowing full well that his life had changed for good.

I will be completely honest when I say that this story is not something I came up with. There's a Chinese fanfiction that uses a similar premise that I liked but it went in a direction that I didn't like. So I thought, why not write one myself and do whatever I want and this is the result. If I decide to continue this fic, it will be a multi-crossover with girls from various anime appearing. Depending on the response I will decide whether to continue this later so see ya.
