CHAP 2: New starts, new place

I found myself staring at an unfamiliar roof.

'That's a novel feeling'

Memories strange to me started going through my brain, giving me an idea of who "i" was in this life. My name is Gray Fraudator of the unimportant Fraudator family, a family which has come to live in Japan (ugh) because my parents received an offer from the international conglomerate they worked at to come to this place for doing some kind of research. Both my parents are dead, died in a "accident", in other words, the conglomerate they worked for wanted them gone.

'Fucking Umbrella man, never thought i would have to deal with them in real life, or as real as this is'

[It's as real as it gets, humanity's "ideas" of other worlds are simply glimpses they have of other realities, art copies reality and all that]

'So everything is technically ficcional, right?'

[Theoratically yes, but that's only for the majority of beings, but i won't elaborate on that. Anyways, i'll be going now, things to do and people to observe]

'Guess i'm alone now, that means it's time to work'

First things first, i should look up everything i can about this world, the Game sent me to Japan, so probably some anime, kinda regretting watching so little of that now.

(Hours later)

After putting my name i found basically nothing important about myself, which means no problems to solve for the old "me", my cracking skills are very rusty if you consider that you don't have to do things yourself when you are the leader of an organization based on selling information, and considering the technology of this world is advanced because of Umbrella my rustiness was my downfall, doesn't mean i found nothing though.

Firstly, this isn't the same Japan i knew, it seems a war happened quite an bit of time ago and all of Japan was quarantined because of the remnants of the bomb Kanto dropped on Kansai, i'm currently in Kansai because Kanto is an restricted area and is hidden from the world. But from what i obtained this was all orchestrated by Umbrella for them to have researching grounds the size of an big as fuck city, and "Kanto" is simply an bunch of researchers responsible for controlling the experiments ran here.

It seems the research happening in Kanto was about genetic "aprimoration," and this is the Umbrella of the last games, where they appear to be doing good, i don't believe it though considering that fucker Wesker is still alive, while that doesn't make much sense it seems this world is full of "cross-overs" so things are bound to be different, making relying in previous knowledge dumb.

Beyond that, i found some points of interest, such as the biggest prison in here called Deadman Wonderland, it seems no one ever escaped it, the criminals, or as they are called here, Akudama are used as an source of entertainment in some sadistic games ran by the prison.

It seems i will find nothing more this way, so i guess training is what i'll be doing, would love to know when the zombies will start coming but you can't have everything, sadly.

{The apocalypse will start in 2 months from now}

So it starts on 18:46 on an fucking Monday, i agree with Garfield on this one.

Getting up from the desk i was on, i got ready to train but first i should test the limits of my copy skill. But i should claim the rewards of the Tutorial first.

While doing the calculations of the bonuses on my mind and wondering about this affection system, i was searching for some videos on the best fighters around the world. Clicking on one, i tried {Observe} and was met with an positive response, which means time to cheese this world.
