He carried on walking down the road, he was closely inspecting the map in the corner of his view, a problem of it was that he couldn't see anything there. "System, can you toggle the transparency to 50% for the map?"
[Changing map transparency value to 50.]
It was much better, Milo could actually see what was in the corner of his vision now while still seeing the map. The museum took longer to get to than he expected, in his previous body he would have started to feel a slight increase in breathing after this distance, however, he didn't feel anything. He was walking just fine and he enjoyed every moment of walking for the first time.
He reached the outside of the museum, in comparison to the rest of the city he had seen so far, this building was more 'antique', instead of the glass and metal or concrete buildings, this one was made from bricks and glass. This was a huge decrease in quality and made the building stand out with its colour.
Milo just walked in and was expecting some sort of toll to enter, to his surprise the entry was free. The only thing you had to do was to pass a scanner, this detected what you had on you and would allow you to pass. He obviously passed without any questions asked.
He walked along the path which was laid out for people to follow, in the first room he was finally greeted with what was expected, it was a small shop with normal necessities like drinks and food. He looked up close to make sure that his system wasn't deceiving him, a bottle of water here would cost him 3 credits, this was triple of what he had paid before. He guessed that business methods didn't change across the two worlds.
The main source of income from his vision was something else, there was a pile of earphones which would guide you through everything. He had obviously bought them since he had no idea what would have been going on at all.
For only a price of 2 credits, it's something which wouldn't leave a massive impact. He started to walk through to the next room. Straight away he was greeted by different illustrations and pieces of information about the city of Nova Aeries.
He had walked through the building for about an hour, he was finally in the last room. It was a statue of the founder of Nova Aeries, Matt Aeries. He had finally walked through everything, at the very end he got surprised by his system.
[Host's spectrum of knowledge is growing. The host has gained +1 in intelligence!]
Just for learning a little bit of information from a museum he had gained a point in intelligence, he didn't complain at all but rather embraced it. He thought to himself 'If I visited all the museums in the city, I wonder how many more points I can get.'
Throughout his small trip, he had learnt a lot, Nova Aeries is still a rising city being founded less than 100 years ago. It's currently run by the Aeries family, however, they don realistically. The city is run by itself, every single registered person in Nova Aeries is forced to vote about trivial things. Through this process, the city has been shaped to include low costs, clean streets, justice for everything and other amazing accomplishments.
He now had some questions for his system, 'How much is my current rent?'
[The rent is currently priced at 350 credits per month.]
'Not bad, not bad. Actually, that's really cheap.
[The host doesn't have to worry about the rent, for now, it is paid for another four months.]
'Now that's music to my ears!' Milo was really happy, this meant that he didn't have to worry about getting a job too much if he lived lavishly on about 50 credits per week, then he could easily live for a few months.
However, what happens after that? He would have no credits and would probably lose his space to live in. The costs to live may be low, but because of this, there was a deficit of living spaces for people to buy. Rent may be cheap, but buying property is really expensive.
Milo carried on to walk around a bit more, he didn't have an overall goal, he just wanted to explore. There wasn't much to actually see, this part of the city was mainly for people who lived there, except for maybe a few museums and some statues. On his journey, he took in all of the notices of people looking for workers.
There was mainly a need for people to clean or work tirelessly for basically nothing. However, in one cafe there was a decent proposition for a waiter which didn't pay too bad. He would have enough to pay for his rent and for daily spendings.
He was about to turn around when on his map he saw a new icon he couldn't recognise so far. It was one of a book with a roof over it. He didn't know if this was a library, government building or a school. He carried on walking to find a large plot of land which didn't have anything rising above the clouds.
This was a large school with a board saying "Silverblade Academy", this was when Milo got an idea. He was still around the age of 16, he could still enrol in a school and use his youth he still possessed, he had sped up his walking as he thought of this idea.
Milo didn't currently have anything such as a quest as he thought he would get, this was until he was in front of the school.
[Quest unlock: Enrol into a school. Would host like to accept?]
'Hell yeah!', he could have a new chance at being a student. In his previous body he still attended school, he didn't enjoy it since he never had any good grades or real friends, he just went since he had to.
[Quest started: Enrol into a school.]
He had walked up to the gates of the plot of land, the gate was open and lead to the building. When you walked in the path split into two. One was for students and one for visitors. He obviously followed the path to the reception.
Upon meeting the person who was sitting behind a reception he spoke out. "Uh, hello. Is it still possible to apply for a space?"
He kind of felt like an idiot, he hadn't prepared anything once he thought over it. What if he gets asked about his past? His past school? His family? These kinds of topics he never prepared for. "Ah, you must be here for the entrance exams. Please take this form and fill it out, you are the first to arrive. The exams will start at 6:30 pm."
Now his day was really turning out well. He took the piece of paper and sat down in the waiting area. He started to fill out all the normal information. Name, age, gender, date of birth and etc. He had completed most of it with the help of his system giving him small bits of information such as his address and citizen number.
To his surprise, there were no questions about his family or anything about his background. He learnt that to be admitted you must take a test, with the result of that test, if he beat anyone in the current academic year he was aiming for, he would take their spot as the person ranked last would be exiled from the school.
