After pressing 'Y' Laiz was met with darkness before losing consciousness.

...

"Owww.. I've had enough meetings with unconciousness this past hours.."

Laiz woke up in an alley between two building, grunting away the pain in his head. It took him some time to adjust to his situation.

When he regained his clarity, he took notice of his current state and his surroundings.

First things first, physically, he was fine and besides a minor headache he was, as a whole, alright.

As for the location he was currently in.. Laiz knew exactly where he was. He knew this because of two people beside him: Sadao Mao and Shiro Ashiya.

He was in an alley of Japan, Sasazuka wherein the show starts. Accordingly, two of the protagonist are trasported from their world, Ente Isla to this alley.

Laiz took note of Mao and Ashiya appearance, they were currently covered in light injuries and the clothes they wore seemed to be too large for their stature.

Mao and Ashiya spoke to each other disorientedly in a language that Laiz assumed to be the language of Ente Isla. The two did not take notice of Laiz as both seemed to be dazed. They get out of the alley and go to the street, stumbling along the way.

What they see is tall buildings that seem to reach the skies, speeding cars and the lights that can be seen all around them.

If anyone were to see Ashiya’s reaction to the cars passing by they would see him in a stance, both hand straight in front. Laiz would have thought that the weirdo was a chuunibyuu had he not watched the show.

They froze dramatically upon looking at everything around them as they were unfamiliar with modern technology.

Although Laiz wanted to interact with Mao and Ahshiya he knew they wouldn't understand each other as both spoke a language from another world. Besides..

He didn't want to be associated with the two right now as they looked like idiots and were attracting attention. So Laiz just hid in the alley, quietly observing the two.

A good decision made by Laiz as the two actually attracted two police officers. The two officers got out from their vehicle and tried to speak to Mao and Ashiya but was interrupted by Ashiya.

"NDYW IOW OIWDNO DOWM!!"

Laiz had an idea of what he said as he had watched the show and noticed the threat as well as the sneer in Ashiya's voice.

"Huh? What are doing?"

The older of the two officers asked not at all threatened and more puzzled than anything.

"Ugh.. They're foreigners they're probably cosplaying, we don't get them much around the area though"

The younger officer groans and complains, unamused with the two 'wanna-bes'

The two officer seem to misunderstand the two as the result of the language barrier along with the exagerated motions from Ahshiya.

Because of the trouble Mao and Ashiya can cause to the public, the two officers is forced to take the two to the police station for interogation. Luckily the two offers no resistance as even without magic Laiz thought they were still way above average physically.

Anyway, now that the two idiots were gone Laiz focused on his situation and his plan of action.

The biggest problem Laiz was facing right now was that he was currently lacking in knowledge of this world. Although he watched the show, it didn't expand on it's world, instead focusing on the characters.

Nowadays there were many sources of information, but due to his current state of poverty his only option was learn the old way.

'The library it is.'

And so after making sure he is clean and representable he walks around the city looking for a library.

. . .

After looking for a library for hours he now stood in front of a large rectangular building with two floors eating some snacks which he bought at a cheap price of 300 yen while wearing an earphone, listening to his world's music through his phone's library of songs.

On Laiz's way to the library he had ran into a bank that was open despite the current hours, he checked whether his money still had value which luckily, was available for exchange. He opened an account and stored his money there. Laiz was grateful for his cautiosness in storing his wallet in his inventory. After that exchange he now had 37 thousand yen.

'This isn't too bad'

Laiz walked in the library with food stuffed in his mouth. He looked like a child who just received a treat from their parents.

Inside the library was countless rows of shelves, each containing large amounts of books.

Laiz froze upon looking at all the books. He may have reacted differently sometime ago but, now he had the system. That meant one thing for Laiz: SKILLS!

While Laiz was stuck on his fantasies, a distance away from him was a counter stacked with books while an old lady with a book in hand was frowning at him.

The lady puts her book down and walks up to Laiz with slow yet firm steps.

"Excuse me miss"

The old lady tapped on Laiz's shoulder for his attention.

"..Yes?"

Laiz's eyebrows raised at being judged as female. Although he barely gave a reaction on the outside inside he was suprised at such a mistake. Luckily, he managed to wake up from his stupefaction and was able to reply a second after.

"Just in case you haven't seen the signs around the building, there are no eating or drinking inside this library. If you need to eat please go outside."

Laiz saw no such signs when entering the library, not that he really paid attention.

"I'm sorry ma'am, i did not see the sign."

Laiz said with an apologetic smile.

The old lady was suprised at the unexpected reply from Laiz. In her mind young people like him was a rarity to find, sure they would apologize but it was, most of the time all customs. She could see through those mischilveous and undiciplined fools.

"It's alright, just make not to do it next time"

You might be reading a pirated copy. Look for the official release to support the author.

But it looked like some still had their standards up. The lady smiled at Laiz and just told him to be careful next time.

"Thank you, i'll come back"

Laiz left the library and was once again outside, he put his snacks in the inventory this time and made sure no one saw him.

Back inside the lady gazed at Laiz before nodding approvingly. Laiz smiles and nods back.

With that out of the way Laiz went around, looking for the history section. A few minutes later and he stumbled to a section that only contained 3 shelves.

'.. Nobody really likes history nowadays..'

With a frown on his face he started checking out the books anyway.

To sum all the things Laiz found out, most major events were left unchanged compared to the Earth he knew. Though there were some minor changes, for example some important individual's names were changed.

Laiz was just about to read another book when suddenly, he hears a ding.

"hmm?"

Laiz was too focused on reading so he was left suprised by the unforeseen sound. Laiz examined the change in the system, upon opening menu he saw an exclamation mark lined up on top of the six categories.

Laiz was just about to tap on it out of curiosity, when he remebered where he was. There was still a few peple around him so he decided to hold himself and went to the toilet just in case it attracts attention.

Inside the toilet, Laiz was greeted with a two people one flustered and the other confused.

The flustered one was in the middle of 'something' when supposedly a woman came in.

"Umm.. what are you doing here miss? This is the male's toilet area..."

The confused one of the guys managed to speak up, while the other was putting his pants up. Laiz suddenly had an impulse, it was a nature of his that was very important, he had to act on this impulse.

"It was below average.."

Laiz looked at the flustered male as he spoke with a blank voice.

Silence suddenly overcame the three after this.

It took a few seconds before the flustered one broke the silence by exploding in embarassment.

"Wh- What are you talking about!?"

Laiz couldn't help but smirk when he heard him stutter. The poor guy was just about say some more excuses when Laiz suddenly stopped him.

"Calm down dude, i'm just joking around. I'm a guy"

Laiz added some slangs in his speach to appear more friendly and point out that he meant no harm (to his confidence).

Although the person was skeptical about Laiz being male, he didn't have the courage to continue to speak so he choose to say 'ohhh' as if he understood before running away.

Once more, silence overcame Laiz and the other person..

"Are you really a guy?"

Laiz looked at the other person, he was still confused at what just happened.

"Yeah, just a very femanine guy"

Laiz formed a small smile before confirming his question with a small joke.

"I'm glad i wasn't that guy"

The person said this while smiling weakly and left.

Laiz turned around, heading inside one of the toilets with a small smile.

- - - - - - - - - - - - -

Host cannot access the energy around him. To help host, the System has made a book explaining how to gather and control this energy. You may receive this book in inventory after update.

As an extension of this, Shop will be opened to assist host in gathering tools to achieve this. New pannel will be added after update.

Please wait..

- - - - - - - - - - - - -

Laiz was surprised at the help he received from the system. He was also shaking in exitement on what to expect from the Shop option.

Laiz sat there waiting for a few seconds before the panel disapeared and was replaced with a new panel.

- - -

Update Complete!

- - -

Although Laiz wanted to take out the book from the system, he held that off for now and just studied the new function.

What he found was a range of items and skill books all organized in categories. The items belonged to things Laiz have seen an other shows and games.

Laiz was very thrilled at this discovery as there were many overpowered items he could see from this. But he forced his emotions down and once again scanned the panel, he saw that each contained a number and a 'pt' following after at the bottom. The more beneficial it was, the bigger that number was.

Laiz assumed 'pt' meant points. He looked at the how much point he had by looking at the top, having a bad feeling on what was coming.

Currently, he had 100pt.

This crushed all hopes Laiz had. From what he saw, the average value in the shop was 1000pt.

'.. Work before benefits, huh?'

Laiz just left the toilet muttering an excuse at the system's injustice.

Laiz went back to the history section and picked up the book he was gonna read.

But as soon as Laiz picked up the book he heard another ding. He once again opened the system to see what was up this time.

- - - - - -

Reading - lvl 1: 10.4%

- Increases Int and Wis by 2 each level when reading.

- - - - - -

What he found was a new skill under the Skill panel

'Nice..'

Laiz appreciated the unexpected skill and just moved to reading.

....

A few hours later the sun's bright light came from the windows of the library.

'.. It's already day?'

Laiz put his book away, tired and stumped from reading all night. Though, to laiz it was worth as he now had a good grasp on this world's history and current state. Besides, his Reading skill was now level fourteen, when he reads he can already feel the immense change in stats.

Laiz got up, ignoring his body's protest to rest and put all the books back in the shelves.

Then he sits down to focus on his next goal: Getting a house.

Laiz already had a place in mind.

Laiz got out of the library and went to a small building advertising houses and residences around the area. He asked if he can rent a certain residence. Luckily they confirmed his question.

Laiz was guided to the place he was planning to stay in. Outside, he could tell the residence had a bottom floor and stairs outside leading to a second floor. He was staying in the second floor.

"Ma'am, this place has 10 rooms, in total each floor has five"

The agent did his job in introducing the residence with a proffesional voice. Not noticing his mistake. Luckily Laiz was already used to being mistaken as a lady and was unfazed by his mistake.

"You will be staying in this room"

The agent stops in a door at the right end of the hallway and motions Laiz inside.

Laiz thought the room was not very spacious but for one person it was enough.

"The room's size is 10 by 15 and contains a kitchen, bathroom and an open space for the resident..."

The agent stated all the room's properties and its advantages.

"Alright, this will be fine"

Laiz was content with the room and so agreed to rent it. The agent smiled at the deal's success before remembering something.

"Oh right, you have to meet the owner of this residence before anything else. Please follow me"

Laiz was led downstair to the door of the owner. After knocking who- no, WHAT came out was a plump lady covered in heavy make up with purple hair and a matching leather jacket that covered almost all her body. She carried a purple purse and on her head was a feather hat.

Laiz recognized this character.

'.. I always thought that the comments on Miki-T's appearance was exagerated but..'

Laiz's eyes hurt just from looking at the lady but he couldn't look away as he was awestruck in wonder. He wanted to know how a person could be that ug- Unsigthly to the eye..

"My, oh my. Don't look so much, control yourself young man."

The lady seemed to have caught Laiz's gaze as he vice took a playful tone.

The alien SPOKE! Laiz couldn't help but shudder at the way it spoke and it's attempt of ellagancy. It would have worked had it been anyone else in that shoe but.. This creature's attempt just bought fear to hearts of who ever was cursed enough to ever hear it.

What he was horrified from was it misunderstand his gaze!

'I was looking at you at DISGUST not at LUST!'

Although Laiz was very disturbed and scarred at the lady, he managed to keep his face from turning to how he truly felt and smiled instead.

The agent frowned and was confused at the landlady's statement.

"Owner, don't misunderstand this person is a lady..."

The owner seemed non-chalant by the agent's comment and asked Laiz his gender.

"Is that true?"

Laiz didn't expect the lady to be able to recognize his gender, there really seems to be more to the lady.. besides it's appearance..

"That's right. I am male."

The Agent was stupified for a second before shouting in shock.

"..WHAT!?"

The Agent was very confused and thought: Did i not call you ma'am several times why didn't you say anything!?

"I'm sorry for not informing you, i thought it was amusing."

Laiz maintained his smile at this statement, not at all sorry at his actions.

"...It's alright.."

the agent seemed to be stuck in shock at the revelation.. Moreover Laiz looked like a beauty, how could he be a guy?!

"I can handle it from here, you may take your leave"

The owner broke the awkward silence and sent the poor agent away.

"My, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Miki Shiba, you may call me Miki-T"

After the agent was gone the owner, Miki Shiba finally introduced herself.

"Hello.. Miki-T, my name is Laiz and i plan to rent a room here.

Laiz was hesitant on calling her 'Miki-T', but just decided to get on with it.

"Mhh, ah yes! Room 10 right?"

Laiz's statement left Miki-T thinking before realization hit her.

"Yes ma'am"

Laiz kept his perfect smile on and confirmed her affirmation.

"Alright, you should already know that the pay is 30,000 yen every month?"

Laiz nods in confirmation

" Alright, here is the keys, enjoy your stay!"

Miki-T maintained her own smile of which she must thought of as graceful..

"Thank you"

And so Laiz headed to his new room in Villa Rosa Sasazuka.
