2. Mina

[DISCLOSING ABOUT THE STORYLINE AND THE SYSTEM IS PROHIBITED.] 

[STARTING PUNISHMENT....] 

[INCREASING PUNISHMENT....] 

[HOST IS FORBIDDEN TO SPEAK ABOUT THE STORYLINE.] 

The fat girl gasped for breath after retracting her finger. Shakily, she took a plaster out of the pocket of her pants and placed it on her wound. 

He scrutinized her every move, crossing his arms and simply observing. 

After a while, she began to feel better.

"Can you come with me now? This isn't a good place to talk." She took out the second 100-dollar bill and placed it on the desk, waiting. 

After he finally nodded, she stood up, bringing him to a taxi.

The driver didn't want the dirty boy in his car, but before he could complain, the girl shoved money into his hands through the open window. He quickly counted it, and a smile bloomed on his face. 

The two boarded the car, and she gave an address. They stopped in a high-end area before a skyscraper. The driver was quite stunned to see such a wealthy young lady taking a beggar with her.

She led the boy to the elevator and pressed the button for the 14th floor.

They entered the apartment, and he was taken aback. Before him was a vast space, simply and modernly decorated, about 100 square meters. The window front across from them reached the floor, offering a view over the city.

In front of them was the living room; on the left was a door leading to the kitchen, and at the end of the room, also on the left side, was a staircase to the second floor.

She took him up the stairs and along a corridor. On their right, the window front continued, and he gazed outside, fascinated. 

There were three doors, she stopped at the third and opened the door without entering. 

"Here is your room. If you like, you can live here from now on. Clothes are in the closet, and there is a bathroom inside. The house key is in the drawer with your new ID, household registration, money, and health card."

She looked at him blankly.

"You don't have to worry about anything; we are a team from now on—if you like. Take your time, and let's talk a little later; I have to rest a bit." She turned around and walked to the first door. "Feel free to take anything you want; this is your home too," she mumbled before disappearing. He stared at her chubby back, hearing the words 'we,' 'team,' and 'home' repeating in his head.

He entered, entirely confused, and opened the drawer she had pointed out to him. There, he saw documents he had never owned, even a school registration and a leaflet. Looking at them, it seemed to be for a prestigious school. Then he saw a simple black wallet that looked modern and stylish. He opened it and saw cash inside. He closed it again, much more composed than an hour before when he first looked at the money she held in her hand. 

Then he saw a book; upon opening it, he found a note: 'Not this world, but a similar storyline; please read it when you have time.' He scrutinized the synopsis on the back: 

{Mina got a system! She has to travel from world to world, helping the male and female protagonists fall in love. Let's start the journey to happiness together... But why is the villain of each world looking at Mina with strange eyes?} 

"What is this..." he whispered. When he opened the first page, he saw a scribble with a pen: 'Mina = me; male protagonist = you.'

He had an inkling of where this would lead based on all the information he had been given until now, but first, he had to wash up.

Inside the closet, every single piece not only had excellent quality, but they were also the right size. He grabbed them and went to take his first hot shower since what felt like forever.
