'System where are the rewards ?'

[The keys to the car, the penthouse and coffee shop deeds and the keys are in the bedside drawer, the car is parked in the underground parking lot of the Luxyor tower.]

Harry opened the bedside drawer as he was told and indeed, there were things that weren't there before. He picked up everything and looked around in his apartment, he decided to leave everything here, he didn't have anything valuable so he didn't really care, the apartment was already clean as he was a freak about things such as hygiene so he decided to stop living here from today onwards.

He picked up his backpack and an old suitcase, he put his clothes and everything that he had just received from the system inside and opened the door to leave, he took one last glance as what was his home for the last few years and sighed in nostalgia.

He went up one floor to the biggest apartment of the small 4 stories building and knocked on the door, it was the landlady's place.

After a couple of seconds he heard the sound of footsteps and the door was pulled open.

"Oh Harry ! What brings you here ?"

The lady looked to be around 30 years old, the most eye catching thing about her were her beautiful sky blue eyes, she had always been kind to Harry even when he was late on rent so the two of them had a good relationship.

"Miss Sofia, I came to let you know that I'm moving."

He said with a smile, although the landlady was nice and pretty, he wasn't going to stay in this beat down apartment for her pretty eyes, she looked at him in surprise because she knew that he wasn't really in a position to move.

"Have you had issues at work ? It's ok if you pay me late as long as you pay your debt later. I wouldn't want to see you on the streets."

"Haha thanks for your concern but it's nothing like that, I bought my own place now so I don't need to rent anymore."

She looked at him in surprise, she knew that Harry had a mysterious background because he had mentioned it before but he had also said that he was kicked out of his family, nowadays he was just a contracted construction worker and college student who had a hard time making ends meet.

"Alright but don't lie to me, if you don't have anywhere to go you can stay here."

"No worries, if I ever need a place to stay I will come here."

After the short conversation he gave her the keys and left the building, he waved at a taxi that was going by and told the driver to head to the Luxyor tower.

The drive took close to half an hour, after he paid for the fare and the taxi left Harry walked into the huge building, it had a total of 41 floors and his penthouse was on the topmost one, he walked to the lady in the front desk but she looked to be busy playing on her phone.

"Excuse me ?"

The lady looked up but annoyance was written all over her face and Harry didn't miss that.

'Lady this is your job, you're paid to receive people, why do you look annoyed at me ?'

He didn't say it out loud, he was too lazy to bicker with her over such a small matter so he gave her his best smile.

"Yes, can I help you ?"

As soon as their eyes met he saw a slight blush creeping up her face and his smile changed into a victorious smile.

'Hehe I knew my charm hadn't disappeared, all your annoyance disappeared after seeing my handsome face.'

"I bought a penthouse here yesterday, here is the deed. Would you mind telling me how to get there ?"

The young lady's attitude had taken a 180° shift, she smiled shyly as she nodded, she opened the ownership certificate and saw that the penthouse he owned was the number 4104, it was the last one that had yet to be sold prior today.

Looking back at the handsome young man in front of her her blush intensified.

'How can you be so young and own a 2 million dollar penthouse ? And he's so handsome too ! I should try getting his number !'

"You can take the elevator there and go to the highest floor, it will be the last door to the right."

Harry nodded with a smile and prepared to head to the elevator but he was interrupted.

"Excuse me, Uhm… can I have your number ?"

The young lady asked in a meek voice, her head was facing the ground and she was blushing crazily.

Although Harry didn't say it earlier he was quite annoyed by her attitude and she wasn't even that pretty so he had no qualms about lying to her.

"I'm sorry, I have a girlfriend and she would probably kill me if I gave my number to another girl."

When she heard him the girl lifted her head and showed a disheartened expression, Harry didn't lose any more time and got into the elevator, it was fully made of glass and he could see the busy streets.

As he went higher and higher, slowly people were looking like ants and the vehicles looked like small toys. He kept on enjoying the view until he heard a ding and the door opened behind him, without losing any time he pulled his luggage as he headed in the direction of his new home.

The long hallway led to a single door, he expected it since it was a penthouse but he was excited not to have any neighbors, the closest door was at least 50 meters away.

He opened the door and was greeted by a magnificent sight, he walked into a small hallway that led to a huge living room, on the right side was a ginormous TV hanging on the wall faced by a beautiful sofa, further behind were stairs, he decided to explore upstairs later, he looked to the left and there was a dining table in front of a modern bar adorned with various bottles of liquor. At the end of the living room was a whole wall made of glass, as he walked towards it he saw a switch next to it and pressed it out of curiosity.

To his surprised the windows sled open and led to a spacious balcony, there were a few long chairs for relaxing and a wall mounted barbecue.

He decided to explore the rest of the penthouse first and he found out that in total there were three bedrooms with each having it's own bathroom a big kitchen, an entertainment room with a pool table, a foosball table, darts and even a high end gaming set up. There was also a gym, a study and finally an indoor pool !

'Damn, this is high class !'

Harry couldn't help but admire his new home, it had basically everything someone could need and more !

Before he went out to check his new car he remembered something.

'System, check in.'

As usual the gift box spun for a couple of seconds.

[First tier athletic body. Gold grade reward, congratulations.]

'Oh ! System is the change going to hurt ?'

From the novels he had read before he knew that sudden changes made to the body were supposed to hurt a lot.

[Not at all, when you wake up tomorrow the change will have already occurred and you won't feel anything.]

Harry heaved a sigh of relief and decided to take his new car for a spin, it was 7PM already so he also decided to eat out today.
