The Frugal Mage

In a world where magic is a birthright of nobles and a secret held within ancient grimoires, an outsider faces an uphill battle. He wields the Coinbound System, a magical vending machine that allows him to purchase spells, skills, and stat boosts. However, this convenience comes at a steep price. Every spell, every enhancement, even a simple suggestion, incurs a cost. While nobles dedicate years to mastering a single spell, he can simply buy his way to power, his progression fueled by every coin saved and every avoidable expense. Despite the financial burden and the skepticism of a world that views him as merely cheap and stingy, he is surviving, even thriving. By meticulously tracking his expenses and avoiding unnecessary spending, he aims to not only survive but to rise through the ranks. One day, the world will learn to remember the name: The Frugal Mage.
