Im Back!!
"It's cold". Eyes still closed, I let out a loud sigh preparing myself for another day of scavenging for anything of value in the wastelands. Then I suddenly realized that whatever I slept on was soft and did not have the smell of mold and dirt. I stretched out my arms and my hand hits something which falls on the floor, it lights up and the time and date were on it "10:07am September 20, 2011". My eyes fixed on what fell, thousands of thoughts running through my brain, all of which led to the only conclusion that would explain my current situation, I went back, I went fucking back!!!
With excitement running through my veins, I reached out for the phone on the floor and took a look around, I was in my room, in a rented house in City C. Having an IQ of 165, I could not explain what happened but there were green characters within my view it was holographic, more like those HUDS seen on games. On the bottom left-hand corner was my heart rate, and on the top right corner was the word "MENU".
"This is it, huh, this is my golden finger."
Focusing on the word Menu a new screen popped out,

"Well, nothing wrong here" I told myself. Quickly going back and selecting "Homestead" I was suddenly standing on top of a hill with a 2 story house behind me, overlooking a dense Oak Forest on the East, about 4 acres of farmland on the north, and pasture on the south. A river about 4 meters across running down the middle of it all. Closing my mouth, I was fascinated by the dark wall that surrounded everything with lights beyond it like it was enclosed by a wall while out in space.
I head into the house, it had a garden, a swing at the back, a small pond, and a white picket fence. Opening the main door, I found a note on the table, it read:
***************************************
Matt,
Hey buddy, I know you're looking for answers here are some of them. It was me, I brought you back, the system? It was mine, you need it more than I do since by the time you are reading this I would have expired. We are one and the same, just from different dimensional planes. Don't try to bring me back, I just wanted to last till I could reach into your plane and transfer my system to you. Give Jake and John a hug from me, I have not seen them in centuries. The pandemic will still happen, so you need to prep up. Also, always keep your interests the top priority. Bet on the St. Louis Cardinals to win the World Series.
PS.
The android in the kitchen will help you, it'll help you a lot so go configure it ASAP.
PPS.
Stick to beer, stop drinking hard liquor and alcohol.
Matthew

The note burned after I read it, cool trick buddy, but who is Jake and John? I started to roam around the ground floor and found the kitchen. A person was sitting at the kitchen table, white hair, a butler's suit, and a mustache, must be the android. I walked up to it and its eyes flashed, after about 5 secs it started to talk:
System booting...
Facial Recognition... Matthew Luna confirmed...
Activating energy reserves...
Binding with Homestead..
Please name the Homestead...
"Hmmm.. what about Providence?" I said.
Seb: "Thank you Master, my name is Seb and Providence will be in my care."
Matt: "So Seb, what can you do?"
Seb: "Agriculture, Aquaculture, Inventory and Structural Building. If you need me to do anything else, please provide general instructions or a textbook."
Matt: "In short, you can do anything, all you need is a reference"
Seb: "I would not need any reference if your other self didn't forget my data module."
Matt: "Can you go out of Providence? Or are you stuck in here?"
Seb: "Only you can take people in or out of Providence, Master."
Matt: "Alright, Providence can wait, let's head on out, I wanna see my family"
I held Sebs shoulder and went out of Providence, back in my room.
Matt: "Seb, connect to the internet, it might be pretty slow since I'm only on a DSL connection, but try to learn as much as you can while I pack my things so we can head back home. Make sure you learn how to drive."
Seb: "Master, your inventory is 3 cubic kilometers large, you don't have to pack, just put everything into your inventory."
Matt: "It's almost lunchtime, once you're done updating the current world knowledge we are leaving."
Seb: "I'm done, ill warm up the car"
Matt: "Well, your pretty capable."
Seb: "As I should be."
Half an hour later
Thats it, im done, lets go Seb! Seb starts the car and we head on out to the highway, 5 minutes into the drive Seb reminds me of something.
Master, i need to remind you of the bet on the Cardinals, itll go a long way in financing your preparation for the pandemic and for Providence.
Head to the casino, it's 3 minutes away.
