The Life Hacker System - 22 Book 2 Prologue Edited
Since that night 4 years have passed, much has changed.
Taka continued to visit Emily and help out at the research institute whenever he was free, always finding time to spar with Snow whenever he got the chance.
Taka had accomplished a whole lot in these past 4 years.
At 11 Taka had completed 4 Ph.Ds. One in computer sciences, obviously and one in Animal sciences, mainly because of Fen. The other 2 in Medicine and psychology. He didn’t originally plan to gain such qualifications but spending so much time at the research institute and having an eidetic memory, once he’d learned something he never forgot it. Still, it was mainly down to Emily that he had completed so many. Somehow she’d managed to trick him into completing them before he even knew what was happening. He figured the system didn’t call her an all-round genius for nothing.
At 12 Taka officially dropped out of school, not like he ever attended anyway, though his parents said he would have to go back for at least his last year of high school, so he wouldn’t be a complete weirdo in his later life. He began helping Emily with her work. This included helping out with her experiments and filling in for her when she was too busy to attend; because of this Taka got to travel all over the world with Fen and Snow by his side the whole time. Of the 150 plus countries in the world, Taka could honestly say that he’d been to at least 100 of them which was quite the achievement for a 12-year-old.
You may be asking, why his parents allow him to do such a thing?
The answer is simple. Shortly after the whole fiasco with Abigail Joseph, Emily paid a visit to the family and filled them in on a few things. She explained about Taka’s intelligence and how he was afraid to show it in the past because he thought people would view him as a monster. Hearing this, his family couldn’t help but feel saddened, but got over it pretty quickly as Emily explained how the institute was going to take him in and teach him. She explained that because of the distance between his home and the institute, they were giving them a house on the grounds of the institute to save time, plus jobs were offered to both Taka’s mother and father which they gladly accepted.
After moving home and seeing first hand, Taka working at the institute, it opened their eyes to just how different their son was and just how much he’d been suppressing himself to appear normal. They also finally got to see how mature Taka was despite his young age. This greatly influenced their minds to allow him to go galavanting around the world, and besides Snow was with him; they knew he’d be safe.
At 13 he began seriously training with Snow and the ex-soldiers that had taken to either calling him young master or Captain depending on where they were and who they were with. After the incident with the Joseph family, they had all come to greatly respect their little Captain and would freely put their lives on the line to protect him from those who wished to cause him harm; though they quickly figured out that anything less than a natural disaster wouldn’t be able to harm him.
Also, during this time Taka was aloud a break from assisting Emily and decided to go visiting a few of the countries he’d taken a liking to on his adventures; like always Fen and snow tagged along. Though Snow did allow Taka to explore on his own when he had other things to take care of. Having a passive skill like [Understand and speak all languages] came in very useful in foreign countries. No matter where he was, he could converse with the people who lived there. One of the countries he felt most welcomed was South Korea because, despite his unique overly handsome looks, people still treated him somewhat normally; well the adults did.
He had very few friends his own age due to his rather unusual disposition but he did have a few his own age and most of them lived in South Korea. The friends he’d made weren’t people of any influence or power. They weren’t necessarily rich or poor. They weren’t particularly good or bad but one thing was for certain, Taka could see something special in each one of them.
Years passed and Taka had gradually gotten used to having them system supporting him, though he didn’t use it for everything; it certainly did come in handy.
Taka had played around and investigated the system thoroughly over the years, eventually finding out whoever had made the system was far beyond the level of a god. But what sort of being could make such a thing in the first place? The system in its very essence warps and manipulates the very world he lived in. That at the minimum was a cosmic level of power, to make it easier to understand, the power the system has is similar to the power of the big bang; the very thing that created the universe. How powerful would a being need to be to imbue that sort of power into a system that then allows a mere mortal to manipulate the world around him like it was a game?
Even with Taka’s level of intelligence, he decided to give it up. He wasn’t strong enough yet, even if he knew the answer.
When he investigated the system he found some other rather interesting things along the way. One of them, the fact he could use his free attribute points not only to raise his attributes but also to increase the proficiency he held in his skills.
After 4 years his stats looked like this.

Over the years Taka had leveled up a total of 5 times. Taka didn’t go out of his way to level up but the accumulated experience he gained for all the things he’d done naturally built up, causing him to level up. He’d also slowly built his stats up through sheer hard work and not relied on the system’s help much of the time.
Fen grew far bigger than your average wolf. Though she was still growing. At this point, she was already big enough for Taka to ride quite comfortably; with Fen growing to such an enormous size, the house the Everlast family lived in had to be remodeled to fit Fen’s enormous size and during the remodel they decided to add a few extras.
The house now had a dojo, a lab, a gym, and a few other facilities which were useful for Taka, not to mention it was now big enough for Fen to grow into so she could go wherever she wanted, even though most of the time she stuck with Taka.
Though Taka already had 4 Ph.Ds. He still decided to attend high school. This time he decided to attend one of the few places he had friends around his own age. In South Korea.
Though only 14 years old, he wouldn’t look out of place, due to the enhancements from his stats, he was already just over 6 feet tall with a body that would cause any model to lose confidence in themselves.

Taka followed by Snow and of course, Fen disembarked from the private jet they’d arrived in. Taka stopped and breathed in a long breath while staring at the sky.
“Guess my age of young has finally come.” Taka muttered as he smiled and got in the car waiting for them.
