‘I would like to take the 4 System Upgrade, but I am too poor. I have 2K LP let’s say I need 300 LP for buying items in the System Store, and 100 LP to rent a place where I can sleep. I will also need 200 LP to keep in case I need some money, and I will only have 1,4K LP left.

‘The 1,4K LP must be split between the System Upgrades and the training with Kiara. If I take all the System Upgrades except the [Advanced Physical Stats System] I would have 400 LP for some training with Kiara which should be enough.

‘Yeah, let’s do this.’

“Records, I want to buy the System Upgrades of [Universal Language System], [System Tools], and [Skill Leveling System].”

[Purchase Confirmed -1K LP]

‘Ok, now I can look for rent a place where I could sleep and store the items I will buy in the System Store.

“System, I would like to rent an apartment or an equivalent. My budget is 100-200 LP per month.

‘I’ll take the small apartment 1 it is small but it has all the basic things needed to live.’

“Records, I would like to rent the small apartment 1.”

[Rent confirmed -150 LP]

[You will need to pay 150 LP at the start of each month. If you want to go to your apartment say “apartment” while going up the stairs.]

“Thanks, I’ll do it.”

Just after he finished speaking. Mikael walked to the stairs and started climbing the stairs. A couple of seconds after he started going up he spoke “apartment” and disappeared in a flash of blue light.

The instant he appeared he looked around and saw a 12m2 room. The walls are white and the floor is made of wood. The only piece of furniture was a simple wooden bed.

Mikael walked to the bathroom and opened the wooden door before seeing an 8m2 bathroom with also white walls and marble tiles flooring. The bathroom was a little more furnished than the ‘bedroom’. There is a sink, a toilet, and a shower but there are no daily necessities commodities.

‘A small apart there isn’t even a kitchen but honestly, it's still an upgrade compared to not having a place where I can sleep.’

‘Let’s buy some items that will help me in my next world and at the same time some daily necessities for the apartment.’

“System Store Basic section”

After that, Mikael took the time to look into what the store was selling, he decided to buy a [Military class handgun] for 100 LP, 10 [Military class handgun magazines (20 Bullet per magazine)] for 3 LP each, he also bought a [Refined steel shortsword] for 80 LP.

He also decided to buy a silencer for his new handgun, a scabbard for his sword, a medkit, some sandwiches, a water bottle, a backpack, and daily necessities like a toothbrush, shampoo, toilet paper, and some others.

Finally, he chose to buy some new clothes because his current ones weren't in the best state. The clothes he bought were the same black jacket and white shirt he already had, but he also bought black cargo pants with pockets so that he could store his handgun and his magazines easily and discreetly. Of course, he didn’t forget to buy underwear and pairs of socks. He bought three of each piece so that he could always have a replacement while cleaning another.

Finally, he also decided to buy a small mirror to put just above his sink, a pillow, a sheet, a quilt for his bed, and a trash can.

[Purchase confirmed -440 LP]

‘A little above my budget but not by too much so it's still okay for now.’

Mikael has a satisfied smile while thinking ’at least I have a house now, so it's a good thing done.’

In the next moment, a lot of items appeared just before him. He took the time to place the items in the apartment before opening the medkit, taking the first aid manual, and reading it for 15 minutes.

‘It's not that complicated to treat a light cut, I’ll try with the small cut on my left arm it’s the easiest to access and one of the smallest.’

He instantly took action by retiring his tattered and bloody jacket and shirt and he threw them in the trash.

‘I’ll take a lukewarm shower so that I will be clean and I can also take the time to clean my wound with the lukewarm water, it’s going to be my first step towards healing.

Mikael took off his remaining clothing before going to take his shower. When he was in the shower he took the time to clean well all his wounds, it took approximately 15 minutes.

Mikael got out of the shower before putting on all his new clothes except the jacket and the shirt so that he could disinfect his wound.

‘The second thing to do will be to disinfect his cut on his right arm.’

Mikael took an antiseptic wipe from the medkit before using it to carefully clean the wound on his left arm. When he applied the wipes to his arm he started feeling a burning sensation but it wasn’t painful, more uncomfortable, after a couple of minutes the sensation disappeared.

‘I only need to put a bandage on my wound and I should be good.’

He took an adhesive bandage out before placing it on his wound and thinking ‘All good for my arm now I only need to do the same for all the other wounds and I would be good. The only problem is the cut on my back. Scratching your back on your own is already not easy so taking care of a cut on my back…’

Sigh

‘Let’s get to it.’

Mikael took the next hour to disinfect his wounds before ordering a pizza to the Records for 10 LP and eating it while also drinking some water.

He sat on the edge of his bed and thought, ‘I’m so fucking tired. This day was so long. I have the feeling that it’s been a whole week, but no, it shouldn’t have been a full day since I was introduced to the Records.’

‘I'm going to check some things in my system before sleeping.’

“System shows me the time on Earth since I entered the Records.”

[Earth Time(USA): June 16, 2025, 19:07:31]

[Time since introduction to the Records: 12 hours, 47 minutes, 33 seconds]

‘It’s pretty much what I thought.’

‘I wonder how many LPs I have left after all these purchases?’

“Records, show me how much LP I have left.”

[Life Points: (-1600) 400]

‘Only 400 left, I can at max use 300 to train with Kiara and no more or it could be problematic if I don’t have enough LP to buy basic things.’

‘Let’s look at the System Upgrades Store so that I can plan my next world to gain enough LP.’

‘Wow, there's a ton of interesting upgrades. The only problem is that I am poor but the objective isn’t to buy a System Upgrade for now. Honestly, they are all interesting to buy, if I want to go more long-term in a world to have the time to learn magic I will need at least the [Advanced Physical Stats System], [ Spiritual Stats System], and the [Basic Race Gain System].’

‘These three are obligatory. I will need the stats system so that I can unlock my ‘potential’ and consequently have the possibility of learning magic fast but I will also need the Basic Race Gain System so that I can gain a race that can use magic because, to my knowledge on Earth, nobody can use magic so I will need to switch of race.’

‘The price for the ‘obligatory’ System Upgrade is 5K LP.

If I want to buy the obligatory and the optional System Upgrades it will cost 14,1K LP.

Sigh

‘When I remember that the last world gave me 2K and I was like I’m starting to become rich…’

'I’ll just sleep for now, and tomorrow I’ll go train with Kiara. Maybe I’ll have an idea of how to get that much money.'

Just after Mikael finished thinking about how to become stronger he took off his clothes before getting under the quilt of his bed.

When he was in bed, he had a pensive look. 'Today was really crazy. If someone had told me that one day I would be traveling from world to world to become stronger, I would have laughed it off as a joke and said, “You are reading too many novels.”

‘For real, it was crazy but not necessarily in a bad way, it will be hard but the payout is better than being on Earth. I need to stay calm and rational at all times and I can get out of the most desperate situation.’

‘I must understand the rules of this new ‘society’ to thrive in it, but for now, I’ll just sleep.
