After a bit more training and playing games Jason left for home.

Perseus and Arjuna weren't home, since they were probably still caught up in some business.

All that Jason could do was surf the web and look for anything interesting. He found a cool web site that gave a lot of information.

It featured discussions and was extremely popular on the web. After looking at the site for the rest of the day he learned a bit more about the games. The MH company was currently a large size company but it wasn't one of the largest ones.

VR was developed, but you still could not connect your brain and feel sensations with it.

Jason suspected that the new game would do so if it was going to be as popular as he was told which  meant it would be ground breaking for this world.

The politics of the nation were relatively stable and nothing serious was happening. Interest in martial arts and any type of protein/healthy type thing was the newest trend right now.

The entertainment industry was doing well and there was even a ranking for celebrities. Everything else wasn't interesting to Jason and he stopped to train his skills apparently level 1 or 2 was a normal level of skill 3 or 4 was skilled and 5 and up was master level. Jason was extremely happy that the skills he bought would be at level 3 automatically until he saw their prices

[200000000 points for air magic skill]

[200000000 points for fire magic skill]

[350000000000 points for dragon armor]

Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.

Everything was extremely expensive and Jason knew that it would take a while for him to buy anything in the shop.

'you can sell stuff to the shop to you know'

'really can I sell anything?'

'no, you have nothing of worth except for your beginner's gear, which you are NOT selling'

Jason sighed

"fine guess ill wait"

As Jason walked to the counter he could see food appear on it. It was basically fresh vegetables, fruit, and some meat. Dairy products and essentials of cooking like herbs, salt, and pepper where there also.

Jason wasn't the best at cooking and was making himself a simple dinner when Boops started to talk about a difficult subject.

'Jason as you know, we need to be influential in this world, you can check it by the reputation stat you have that we have just barely started We have a few paths we can take, I'll project it on the system for you to see.'

[path 1: finds powerful backer, uses the backer's influence and money to create a loyal following of player to take over.]

[path 2: starts from scratch, build up your own company, guild followers and teammates from the ground up focusing on NPCs in the game]

[path 3: a good balance of both, find a backer who is willing to share equal terms and build up your guild and influence with their help. focuses on NPCs and players.]

[path 4: an elite group. The size will not matter, quality does in this plan. Gather top players from around the world and from a tight-knit group.]

'There are a few more paths but those are the main paths'

"And I'm guessing the system will give me missions based on which one I chose?

'yes exactly, but you have to make a choice.'

"uhh I'll wait till the other two get back, I think I need to talk to them about it."

'im impressed Jason,'

And Boops truly was impressed, as Jason demonstrated intelligence in knowing that this was a big decision and asked others for help.

"well Boops what do you think is best?"

'Well I don't like the 3rd path because you will have to be partners with somebody, and in turn raise their reputation as well as you become more influential. I just think that's pain and not trustworthy. The 4th to me doesn't look right for our mission, as we need influence over a wide group of people.'

"Then wouldn't you not like the 1st path?"

'Yes that's true being under a large backer and being forced to follow their orders isn't the best idea.'

At this time Jason finished making food and it was mediocre at best.

The meat was overcooked, the vegetables were cut into weird shapes and everything looked really messy, but everything tasted good so it was fine.

'Perseus and Arjuna are coming home we will talk with them about the paths.'
