Chapter-3: System

Note : - Well, I will switch between Gia and Giya for her as one is her nickname and other is her name.

lets start:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As they went out of the house, he took in the scenery around him. His home has a garden quite big, not only his, but from what he can see outside the gate of his house, there are several houses, all of 2 stories in order on both sides, and a road in the middle, which is for the community in which he is living. There was not much crowd on the road as he can remember that this community has a villa at the end of the road owned by some big businessman. That guy lives there with his family.

One of the good things about this place is its safety, as the community was the land of the said businessman, and he sold it to the residents here. The security here is good, as from the main gate of the colony, only those who are familiar with the security guard and registered persons can enter.

Exiting the community gate, we greet the security guy, or to be specific, Gia (Giya) greeted him, as she is a social butterfly of the place, and nearly everyone knows this princess.

It took us 2 minutes of walking from there to reach the market area where various shops were. As we were walking, watching all the shops around her, Giya was looking around excitedly but didn't ask to enter any as she knows she can't eat more, so she was waiting for her favorite ice cream shop to arrive.

Arriving at Candle's Ice Cream House, Gia entered excitedly and occupied an empty seat at a table on the side. She shouted a cheerful hello to the granny inside the shop. Following her, Jim entered and noticed the old lady at the counter – the grandma whose shop this was. She worked here with her daughter-in-law, providing everyone with her unique recipes.

He greeted her, and she asked, "Same order, dear?"

He replied with a 'yes' and joined Gia at the table. While she was immersed in daydreams and eagerly anticipating her ice cream, he began to contemplate what was going on in my life. First, these memories – at times confusing, but one thing was clear: in this life, he was determined to live a good one. Now, money wasn't a problem, and although we had financial stability, education in our country was expensive. Mom had secured a house for us in a safe colony to ensure our well-being. However, with the money she had, it would only be enough to get his sister and him through college, and Mom would have to work tirelessly. As a person with an encyclopedia of knowledge from another world inside me, why wouldn't he use it to help his mother?

Thinking of this, he suddenly remembered that the world here, in terms of everything else, is the same, but racism and discrimination are less as the history is a little bit different, as the British weren't able to stay that long in other countries. That thing changed many things, as discrimination between white and black is still there but not that much. Countries stay more or less friendly. Nations all around the world joined an agreement here because of some superpower nation in the past to not have wars except if it's the only way, lest anyone who initiates unnecessary war will have the whole world, whether small or large countries, against them.

Even though that is the case, English is still an internationally used language. He is from the USA, and while it is now more diverse than before, shifting countries and acquiring land and properties in other countries is more challenging for people. Governments also follow certain standards to control population growth and prevent illegal migration in some cities (not all, but some).

Just as he was thinking this, a lady arrived with a tray holding ice cream in large cups. This ice cream is the specialty of the shop, with a blend of various flavors mixed with secret ingredients. The end result is a purple-red-looking ice cream called Candle's Special, Gia's favorite. This lady is the daughter-in-law of the granny. As we greeted her and said thanks to the lady, we started eating our ice cream. Gia, sitting opposite to me in a great mood, hummed and wobbled her head left and right as she ate it, not being the active girl he knows. In her words, "Jim-Jim, when I eat my ice cream, you should not disturb me. Mommy said it's bad manners talking when eating," forgetting that she always talks when eating.

Now he started thinking about what he should do to not disturb his life while also making money. He considered various options like making games, creating music, and writing novels. After much contemplation, he decided to start with writing novels. This choice stemmed from his desire to enhance his writing skills and narrative abilities. He recognized that even games without a compelling story tend to become monotonous. Although he needed to remember games from his previous life, their storylines might not be perfect as he cannot remember them perfectly. Therefore, he chose to begin with novels, knowing that he could adjust the storyline later to make them fit into other creative ventures, including game development that he wants to enter.

Just as he made up his mind about writing novels, he heard a sound that startled him. Frantically looking around, he couldn't find the source, as the sound seemed to be right near his ear. Then, he heard it again, but this time, he saw a screen floating in front of him.

[Ding] System is Activating.....

[Ding] Please wait...

A loading bar appeared, which went like 0%..2% to 98%..till 100%, then

[Ding] System activated, Welcome host you can summon status by thinking of opening it

Jimmy was stunned for a while, not sure how to process this unexpected event. However, he started to calm down and discreetly checked if anyone around him reacted to the system's activation. He realized that anyone looking towards him would simply glance in his direction, not indicating that they could see the floating screen – a unique interface only visible to him.

He thought this might be related to his memories of the previous life and started panicking a little. However, just as quickly as the panic set in, he calmed down. He realized that anything capable of accessing his memories could likely do much more, so if it hadn't triggered anything significant, he decided it was best not to dwell on it.

As he considered this, he decided to open the status mentioned on the display to see what it was.
