CHAPTER 20 – Shifting.

"Is this really supposed to be used by a single person?" Alex wondered while observing the beautiful view of the villa that is supposedly his from now on.

This villa typically features spacious, elegant architecture with elements like columns, balconies, and large windows.

It was fully cemented and the material used looked pretty durable, surrounded by well-manicured gardens or landscaping. Inside, it had high ceilings, marble floors, and luxurious furnishings. It consisted of two floors including the ground floor, the first floor had three rooms each room larger than the room he had been staying till now.

On the ground floor were the kitchen, bathroom, a large living room, a double-bedded room, and the hallway for the pool that is behind the villa. The view around the villa was nothing sort of breathtaking since the villa was pretty high up on the terrain, so, it gave the full view of the city from the balcony of the first floor.

It had a garage that is right now occupied by his new car, a striking black car of some costly brand that he did not know, but he did know that this car was costly and with the aerodynamic body along with the low ground clearance of the car, he also knew that it was pretty fast as well.

The only problem was that it was too big for just him to live alone, but he suddenly had an idea and called Alice.

"What's wrong Alex? Is there a problem in the house?" Alice asked as she knew that Alex was at the villa since he informed her before moving in.

"Yeah, there's a problem," Alex said faking a tired sigh.

"What's wrong?" This time worry can be clearly heard in Alice's voice.

She really did try to find the best she could but if Alex didn't like it then all of it would not matter and she didn't want Alex to think that she just bought anything for him.

"It is too big for me." Alex's voice turned bland when he said that.

"...."

"Do you want another, smaller one?" Alice asked after a moment of pause as it took her some time to understand what he meant.

She wanted to give Alex the best, but she didn't think she would have given too much, and thinking about it carefully she understood that it really was too big for a single person to live in.

"No, I want to keep it. I know you tried your best for me, and I don't want your hard work to get wasted. but there is something I want you to do," Alex said, as the best way to make someone listen to your request is to first make them realize their mistake, make them feel guilty, and then they would at least try to do their best to make it up to you.

It really did work as Alice said,

"Really? What is it? Tell me, I will try my best to do what you want." Alice said with resolution, Alex wanted to chuckle at how easy she was, but he tried not to as it would destroy the momentum he had created.

"Let's talk about it later at the guild." He said and didn't talk about what he wanted, as the chances of his wish being fulfilled would be higher if he talked face-to-face, making full use of his passive charm and incubus aura.

"All right, see you then," Alice said and even though they were talking on the phone Alex could imagine her smiling.

"Who was that?" before Alice hung up the phone Alex heard a male voice from the other side and from the voice the guy didn't seem older than 21 or 22.

He didn't think too much of the voice, he was not like those protagonists he had read about, as they tend to get jealous whenever their lover or intended are talking to some other guy without their knowledge. Also, Alex was still not completely sure about what steps he should take with Alice.

The things Alex does in his free time are reading novels, Mangas, manhwas, etc. as they would be of great help in dealing with the protagonists or the so-called heaven-favoured.

He also understood that in this world it was going to be body overtaking troops and the one who took the body might be someone from another world that had its own power system.

He might have been defeated, killed or betrayed and at the last moment he used some kind of treasure to save his own life, probably that treasure would have helped him perfectly adjust in this body, but he was here no more so he stopped thinking about it.

However, if someone were to notice, the story hasn't changed much, the only thing that has changed is that instead of the one who should have taken over the body, Alex took over the body.

Alex inspected the whole villa and cooked some breakfast after he was done unpacking the little things he had.

He took a bath and was eating breakfast right now; he had decided to run to the guild instead of taking the car as it would cover up for the workout he missed today and would also serve as a good excuse to ask Alice or Ann for a lift.

Suddenly, Alex remembered something and spoke in his mind.

'Sophia, why is my luck so high? I know about my other stats, but what's the reason for luck to be so high?' Alex had been thinking about this for a while.

He knew his luck was not low because of whatever past he had, so, S-rank was acceptable but why was his luck SS and he felt like it was still in an increasing trend?

[It's because you are now being treated as the Heaven favored, so, your luck also got a raise and it resulted in your luck to continue growing along with your powers, at least in this world.]

'Why am I being treated as a Protagonist?' (Heaven favored can be called protagonist) Alex asked Sophia in a confused voice.

[Just think of it as a way of the world paying its respect.] Sophia's voice sounded somewhat arrogant and as if the world heard it, the whole Gaia trembled a little, however, no one noticed it not even Alex.

'Related to my past, again?' Alex sighed as he already knew the answer to the question.

[…...Yes.] Sophia said after a pause, causing Alex to sigh again.
