"Isn't it ridiculous that the name of the money is Fed? Admit it. You lose all of your seriousness when you hear it. I mean why you stopped using names like dollar or euro. Some of the old money names on this planet was pretty cool. Like Odos or Merc. At least these types of names sound more elite and serious."

"You are making fun of 3267 different things a day and find it silly or ridiculous. If this is funny, it lost its funniness long ago."

" Hmm.." Eren had a fake sullen face for a few seconds.

He has been finding at least ten weird things in a regular day and sighed after remembering those. He wasn't still perfectly used to this world. At least not the logic behind this different culture. Six months of living here weren't enough to him.

..

Eren was watching the outside, lying in an absurd position on top of the outer walls of the town. The reason was unknown for him. Tris said she had a job here and brought him with her.

"I don't have a gun except for the tiny pocket-pistol you gave me. Isn't it dangerous to be here?"

No matter how impressive the scenery was, Eren still didn't get over Nihan's death. Moreover, Nihan had a machine on his back that resembled an old rifle but turned into a fully automatic machine gun with a single button. Eren found it absurd for someone carrying that weapon to die to zombies.

"You don't have enough experience yet. We don't give heavy guns to everybody and turn our backs. The job in the center of town, I mean the park you have been protecting has been set as a bit of experience for the young and old.

With your current job and training level, I can't let you buy a heavy gun without real training."

Eren nodded. Actually, he knew all this, but he liked talking to Tris for the 20th time on their best-known subject . This milf's voice gave him peace. It's not just that her voice was beautiful, it was something else. She was kind of Eren's best friend and mental pillar after their close relationship that started after Nihan's death.

They were having sex before that too, yet now they had something else.

Eren quietly brought his right hand close to Tris' belly. He wasn't thinking of anything erotic. But Tris tried to pull her hands off the way of her shirt and let Eren in. But Eren only took Tris' left hand and pulled it to himself.

It was smooth and soft like a young girl's hands. Touching her hand felt good.

He began writing letters on Tris' palm from the new alphabet he had learned in the last half-year. In a romantic comedy movie that he watched, the man was talking to her girlfriend in this way.

But since he wasn't good at writing yet, he was only able to write things that Tris would laugh at and constantly correct. Finally deciding that this wasn't as romantic as it seemed, he clamped Tris' hand and fingers with his own and just looked at the landscape in peace.

..

"I still can't understand that how there is no religion here. Even in my country, stupid people occasionally create stupid religions by saying that they are prophets. Don't you have similar problems?

Tris turned her whole body to the side and looked at Eren with a smile. She approached Eren as far as she could. It was so close that Eren could smell her body perfume. "Guess it."

Eren thought a little. "So it happens. So how do you solve it then?"

Tris winked.

Eren guessed again. "You're killing them. Hahaha .. I didn't expect that."

"Isn't it a good solution?"

Eren accepted it with a nod.

"Yes, it is a short and succinct solution. I wish we did the same. It must be illegal to play with the minds, subconscious, and beliefs of people.

Tris was a little surprised this time. "That's not why we don't allow religion. Those who drool over religious things here use the knowledge of the old religions that are already created and perfected. It's just -ah.. dangerous and therefore forbidden."

Eren was ready to dig into the subject he heard for the first time. But before he could continue to ask, the footsteps of people were heard. When he heard that Morsh and Lara were coming, he stood up by instinct. Tris was still hanging around, but Eren knew that the biggest defense of this town was made with the help of these two people.

But the biggest reason for his respect was different.

The actual reason was a middle-aged woman with white-colored hair. When Eren was first teleported to this world -or whatever it was - she was the first person Eren saw. Flying over the wall towards a lot of zombies and throwing explosives from the air as a flying woman- that bloody scene was etched into Eren's mind.

The man next to him was the famous commander Morsh, who was responsible for all the walls and watchtowers. He was Lara's husband and had the ability to see far away. His eyes could see everything in the whole landscape. He was only limited with the vision of land or the angles of the terrain.

They played the biggest role in the security of this town as husband and wife duo. Even Eren, though of himself as an unserious person, has respected them in recent months. Almost two thousand people's lives were protected by this duo. Everyone in town said so many things about them in different conversations.

"I heard that our playful Tris was meeting with someone, but I didn't believe it. I don't know how you can stand her brother." Morsh talked loudly but sarcastically. He looked at Tris first then at Eren as if he was pitying him. This commander was obviously joking.

"Hey! I guess yesterday's physical training isn't enough. Let's continue where we left off? The last thing I remember, you offered me money for me to stop. Oh, I remember you owe me 100 fed." Tris got up to her feet and opened her left palm.

Eren was a little surprised when she actually got her money from Morsh. As time went on, Tris was turning into an even higher position in his head. Tris was able to joke and even be dominant behind two commanders whom everyone respected. Although they weren't the ruler rank in town, they had the most authority in the military and public.

"Miss Lara. Can I ask-"

"You can call me directly by my name. We don't use expressions of respect here."

Her handsome but serious-looking husband was actually a playful person, while Lara was the person who looked maternal and relaxed, but actually very serious.

They had personalities very opposite to their outer appearence. But Lara smiled a little with Eren's way of speaking and showed that she wasn't that strict.

"Lara, according to my comm, I have acquired average human physical attributes of this world. I wonder if I can... -"

Before Eren could say anything to Lara, Tris and Morsh came up close and looked at the watch on his arm with curiosity. Eren opened the genetic feature icon on his cheap comm, and showed it to three curious people in one. These three were extra curious, obviously because he was from another world.

He pressed the corner of the dna image in hurry to open the page and not drive the trio crazy. Small definitions appeared with changed numbers next to them.

His genetic characteristics, which he used to know that all the numbers were at 2.5 points, now looked different. Obviously, on a genetic level, humans from Earth had all 2.5 points overall. Some people were better, even maybe Einstein was smarter with his high intelligence but generally, it was 2.5.

*- STRENGTH : 2.6 It represents physical strength. It shows the quality and strength of bones and externally scattered muscles.

*- PERCEPTION : 2.9 Shows how sensitive the sense organs are. (Depends on Agility and Intelligence levels)

*- ENDURANCE : 2.6 It indicates the quality of blood, muscles, and organ tissues inside the body. It is a direct indicator of the amount of energy. (Depends half of Strength level)

*- CHARISMA : 2.6 Demonstrates language & social skill and knowledge in.

*- INTELLIGENCE : 2.6 It shows the quality of the brain cells and naturally -potential intelligence. (Depends on Agility, Perception and, Luck)

*- AGILITY : 2.6 It shows the quality of the nervous system and its ligaments. It allows the body to do things faster. Although it represents speed, it shows the speed of the nervous system, not general speed. (Depends on Strength, Intelligence and, Luck levels)

- LUCK ( Chance): 2.9 It is the natural and hereditary legacy that the body had before its' genetic upgrades. It shows the natural features that enable the person to evolve critical abilities. Value shows the standard level of the race if there is no inheritance (2.5 for humans) (Represents original genetic heritage from family or older generations)

..

Eren generally improved by 0.1 from a regular human of a standard world, which was stats were only 2.5 for Earth.

His features of 2.6 instead of 2.5 made him faster, stronger and much longer-lasting in endurance. He had a better sex drive and his hormones were working better. His body healed faster and the differences were large enough to be seen in bed.

The diseases he'd suffered before would no longer affect him. Any chance of getting genetic diseases like cancer was no more.

Although three people looked at the stats with curiosity, they didn't see anything interesting. There was only a small talk about Perception, that is, the increase in the level of Eren's sense organs was abnormal. But nobody had an idea how it would affect Eren. The perception wasn't a popular feature in this town.

But unlike two commanders, Tris looked at her comm for a moment and looked at Eren in surprise from head to toe again. She seemed to understand something that the others didn't know. But she kept whatever she thought to herself.

After a while, Lara spoke again. "You want to get training right? You have heard that genetically you can grow more with the dangers outside, and you want to try your luck."

"Yes, Lara."

Lara looked at her husband Morsh first, but when she saw that her husband shrugged with her gaze, she turned to Eren. "All training groups are set up and watched by Morsh . After dinner, I will remind him to put you in a proper group. There is paper work so we can only do that at home. Please wait until tomorrow.

At that time, Morsh's real interest shifted back to Tris and the money he just gave. The two were constantly quarreling like old friends and trying to recall the previously spoken words or bets. He tried to get the 100 Feds back and said some random events. But no matter how much he tried to snatch his 100 feds, he couldn't lie good enough.

In this peaceful moment, Eren talked with Lara. They discussed about few simple issues in town. Talking to someone other than Nihan, Tris and Sophie were both exciting and difficult. (He didn't consider Townsen because they weren't talking very much when they spend time)

He mostly learned this new language from Nihan. The fact that he was silent and spent a lot of time smoking was related to his problems in communication. He could talk with people but expressing his detailed thoughts was tiring and almost impossible.

But no matter how stiff Lara was at work, she seemed comfortable and helpful at the moment. Unlike Eren's vision for her as a female Rambo, she wasn't the killer superhero who destroyed the zombies in explosions.

Talking with her felt good.

..

Ten minutes later, Eren was returning home with Tris.

On the way, a message came to the comm on Tris' arm, and Tris had to stop to go work. Eren still laughed when Tris said she was going to the call center. It was obvious that Tris was an important person, but the woman never told the real place she was working. Perhaps, as Morsh mentioned, Tris was someone who loved to joke and surprise people.

But before saying goodby, Tris grabbed Eren and leaned against the wall. She grabbed his neck with her hands and stuck to his lips. During the kissing that lasted for minutes, Eren couldn't help himself and put his hand under Tris' clothes. He touched her belly then went higher. Seconds later his fingers were touching the tips of her bare breasts. Even Tris hesitated a little with Eren's touch. If they weren't in an alley neither of them would have the strength to hold back.

As Tris was leaving, she whispered something in Eren's ear that made him freeze for a while. Eren looked forward to the time when Tris would come at night.

When Eren took out his cigarette and was walking on the street, he was surprised that he became more and more used to this life. Perhaps this was the life he should have lived in the first place, and that's why someone teleported him to this planet.

He was curious why someone had teleported him to this planet from an airport toilet with mindblowing levels of technology.

[No matter what is the reason, I'm glad I'm here]

Eren entered his home and took one of the food-packages he kept in the refrigerator. He opened his mouth fully and sewed all half-fluid things in one go. His nose and whole face were sour, but the disgusting slurry that he didn't know what was inside was the main food that kept him alive. He didn't believe that something bad was in it. It was logical for someone like Eren after considering he had lived eating it for the last six months without problems.

[What could be the worst in it anyway?]

Even then, Eren wasn't aware of how naive he was acting.

He still saw this place as a different country on Earth. He thought that his logic that comes from Earth would work here as well. But this was a flaw he still didn't notice yet.
