Chapter 27: A Normal Day

[Good Morning, Owner]

[Start Login?]

The System's soft voice echoed through the quiet room, breaking the morning tranquility. A faint smile appeared on Matthew's face as he woke up, the first rays of sunlight filtering through the curtains. He was still getting used to the novelties of his new life, but the routine of daily logins had already become an essential ritual.

"Yes," he murmured, almost sleepily.

The instant his words left his lips, a golden box on the holographic screen before him exploded in a blinding flash of light, similar to miniature fireworks. The burst of light began to condense, forming a series of items that floated in the air, before slowly materializing in front of him.

[Congratulations!!]

● Item Acquired (Common): 10,000,000,000 Aurums.

The amount filled Mateus with satisfaction. He knew that with these Aurums, he could make significant investments and expand his influence even further.

● Item Acquired (Rare): Kirin System.

Description: Security/virus system for Cell Phones and Computers; a system from a world of technology ten years ahead of the current one, where the host lives.

"This will be useful," thought Mateus, imagining the possibilities this technology could bring, especially in a world where information and security were crucial.

● Item Acquired (Normal): "Love for Elliane" Necklace.

Description: A female necklace from a popular web world in Blue Star, a world where the culture of Novel Entertainment is very advanced. This necklace was made at the request of the protagonist for his wife and took months to complete, made of pink diamonds, valued at 1 billion Nars (WebNovel currency), which is equivalent to four hundred million dollars.

Matthew remembered Elise Montavon and smiled, thinking about how happy she would be with such a precious gift.

● Item Acquired (Normal): Dragon X7 Smartphone.

Description: Advanced mobile device, four times better than the top smartphones in his current world.

The prospect of having such superior technology in his hands made Matthew excited. He couldn't wait to test out the new smartphone and see what else the day had in store for him.

After collecting the items, he stretched and stood up, feeling refreshed and ready to face the world. The light coming through the window seemed brighter, the possibilities wider. Today would be an ordinary day, but for Matthew, each day was a new opportunity to explore his potential and shape the future in his own way.

He began to prepare himself, thinking about the plans he had in mind, and the impact his new acquisitions could have on his next steps. With the System by his side, Mateus's life was far from normal.

Heading towards his office in the mansion, Mateus began to sing a song that transported him to a nostalgic past, full of memories of a story he had never been able to move forward with due to his busy life in society. The captivating melody echoed through the hallway, and he let himself be carried away by the emotion of the lyrics.

"When you were here

I couldn't look you in the eyes

You're like an angel

Your skin makes me cry

You float like a feather"

As he walked, he caught himself in the rhythm, taking a few lively steps and swinging his arms as if he were in the middle of a private show. For him, each note was heavenly, a moment of pure freedom.

"In a beautiful world,

I wish I was special,

You're so fucking special,

But I'm a freak

I'm a weirdo!"

With a dramatic movement, he raised his hand toward his mouth, as if imagining a microphone, feeling the energy of the song pulsate inside him.

"What the hell am I doing here?

I don't belong here..."

The passion in his voice echoed off the walls, each word carried the weight of his experiences, and the nostalgia brought a smile to his face. It was a reminder of what motivated him to fight for his dreams, even when reality seemed heavy.

"Come on, with me, like this..." excited in the melody.

"I don't care if it hurts

I want to be in control

I want a perfect body

I want a perfect soul

I want you to notice

When I'm not around"

With each verse, Mateus felt more connected to his own journey, as if he was summoning the strength of his haunting times, when he lived alone, without the parents he admired. He walked with determination, each step bringing out the adrenaline of his past victories.

"When you were here

I couldn't look you in the eye

You're like an angel

Your skin makes me cry

You float like a feather

In a beautiful world

I wish I was special

You're so fucking special

But I'm a freak

I'm a weirdo..."

"tan...tan...okay...shake your hips and shake your head, like this...it's fucking"

"Whatever makes you happy

Whatever you want

You're so fucking special

I wish I was special..."

"I don't belong...here" Matthew whispered sadly as he remembered his deceased parents.

Continuing towards the office, he saw himself as the protagonist of his own story. Each note weighed on his soul, but he knew that, like the heroes he admired, he could also face any challenge.

"I wish I was special...."

The song ended in a crescendo, and Matthew opened the office door with a sparkle in his eyes, energized and ready to face the day. The song still resonated in his mind, reminding him that no matter the obstacles, he could always fight for his dreams.
