Spoiler (click to show/hide)But in all seriousness, I can't even lift 30 pounds ;~;
I seriously need to exercise, or even run a few laps around my yard for fucks sakes.

I lift.
Protein supplements are just there to help you acheive the amount of protein you need to consume for a day, it's just like eating meat or cheese, nothing special in there.
If you want to gain muscle and weight you need to eat about 700-1,000 calories more than you burn, but you'll also gain fat (naturally). You calculate the amount of calories you need based on your RMR, google it =P
You also need to consume about 1.5-2.0X your weight protein in miligrams, don't remember the amount of carbohydrate though.
Your diet is important just like going to gym. If you won't eat enough, you'll barely see results.

Another important thing is to make sure you do everything properly and with the right technique. It's better to lower the weight and do the lifting properly, than raising it and doing it bad. You'll just end up injuring yourself.
A bit more info that might help you - To gain muscles you need to do 6-12 repititions, while 8 is the most recommended - To gain power (be stronger) you need to do 1-6 reps, while 5 is the most recommended - To gain endurance you need to do 12+ reps (which might help you in martial arts, but it's basically a waste of time to lift that much).

I'm currently doing a 5X5 program (basically a powerlifting program), which works on power, since I want to first be able to lift above 100KG in certain lifts and then I will probably go back to a bodybuilding program.

Due to my high metabolism, I don't grow fat. :/

Just so you know, there's no such thing.  You simply don't eat enough, you might think you do, but you don't =P

At the beginning it's hard to eat 1,000 calories more than you burn, but when the weight you lift increases and the more you get used to eating so much, you'll be able to do it with no problems. I'm sure you'll gain weight if you do that.
I also have high metabolism and I used to weigh 48 KG at 1.75 meters, but after 2 months of exercising and eating properly I went up to 55KG and after another 2 months or so up to 57 KG. I didn't really get the chance to exercise lately so I'm down to 56 KG now. Before that I was exercising for about a year, I wasn't persistent and even when I was I wasn't eating enough so my weight barely increased.

Prox:
Before you start you need to know your goals, then make sure to do some research on the internet, then, depending on what equipment you have, make yourself some sort of exercise program or you can even look up for one somewhere on the internet. And always learn the exercise with lower weights before you start using bigger ones. You also need to eat quite a lot, but not just anything, there are certain diets and supplements but instead of wasting money on that I just add food that has vitamins, proteins and other good stuff to my normal every day food.
