Buying the lottery ticket.

He walked over the bridge slope thinking about his plans for the future. He didn't have many dreams. He just wanted to have a much better life from the past life.

To lead a better life; first, he needs to have a proper name.

Beggar MC started to come up with different names, 'how about Abraham Lincoln? Adam Smith? Adolf Hitler, Sherlock Holmes; Albert Einstein?' No. If I use some legendary figure names then their fans would kill me.

' Hero's names from the movies? No good, I'm gonna Rob the future of the others by using my little future knowledge. I will be considered a villain so how about choosing a villain's name?'

Good, I will be the villain then; from now onwards, I am called Renata Lucifer.

After naming himself Lucifer moved towards the district 1, sector 9. (Every district has 30 sectors. Bridge of peace was located in the middle of district 1 and district 20.)

City: tempest.

Tempest city, district 1 was bustling with activity, Lucifer slowly walked crossing the streets full of activities. He arrived at sector 1. Tall buildings were built all over the place, buildings such as apartments; 50+ floors, business, theater, malls,… it's the most developed sector in the entire city. A paradise for the rich.

Lucifer passed through the alley's taking shortcuts towards the sector 9,… (Skipping the minor details such as what was happening on the streets, who is cross streets, riding vehicle,…)

Finally, after a few minutes, over 30 minutes after, Lucifer arrived at a market located in the sector 9.

Wah! The entire place was noisy, it's hard to distinguish who is talking what.

"This little brother, come and try these juicy vegetables. They are fresh and ripe."

"kid, are you searching for a fresh fish? You have come to the right place, come, have a look, these fishes are still alive, buy 1 and you will get 1 free the next time you visit."

"how much are you selling the chicken for 1kg?"

"1kg for 250 coins."

"250 coins? Why don't you just rob me?"

"I came first, why are you selling him first?"

All kinds of people are here, some are buying, some of them are arguing and a few of them were scamming.

Lucifer ignored everything and moved to the corner of the market where an old shop was located.

Lucifer entered the shop and started searching all over the place. The shopkeeper noticed him and asked, "Sir, how can I help you?"

"I am here to buy the lottery ticket."

"Oh! Then you have come to the right place at the right time, look there, the entire board was empty; only one lottery ticket was left."

Lucifer ignored the shopkeeper and went towards the lottery ticket to inspect it.

'9362573777. 777 at the end, this is it, lucky, I'm not too late' thought Lucifer.

Lucifer grabbed the ticket and said, "how much is the cost?"

"200, you are young and also happen to be the last customer so I will sell it for 100 coins."

Lucifer didn't argue, he took out the 100 coins he prepared earlier and handed it to the shopkeeper to buy the ticket.

The shopkeeper took the coins and sold the ticket to Lucifer and said: "777 at the end, you are really lucky to buy this ticket, 777 is really a lucky/jackpot number."

Lucifer nodded his head and said," I think the same."

"If I win the lottery then I would buy your shop for a very high price" After saying that, he took the ticket and left the shop. While leaving the shop he passed by a middle-aged man who was entering the shop.

After he left the shop, the shopkeeper snorted and started mocking him "buy my shop if you win the lottery? What a retard. There is no such thing as a lottery, at least I had never seen someone winning a big amount of money, only those retards who won 10 or 20 coins after they bought the ticket for 100+ coins. Truly, Idiots! "

'hehe, thinking about it now, that kid just now, worn a torn clothes looking like a beggar, he even bought a 50 coin ticket for 100 coins, what a profit.' Thought the shopkeeper.

After buying the lottery ticket, Lucifer went back to his room under the bridge and hide the lottery ticket safely. He didn't want to take any chances regarding the lottery. After all, his future was depended on it.

…..

1st part of my plan was complete, now it's time to make an identity before that I need to talk to him.
