Chapter 2 - Settling In

My name had stayed the same Logan D Jane. But apparently, I was a curly brown-haired kid. Kinda handsome face with a permanent smirk that promised trouble. I was also apparently fifteen again. I was dressed like a school kid, but pretty sure I was ent enrolled.

The world of MHA was just as enchanting and horrible as you would think it was. People who could vary from titans to people as tall as a pencil, and flying around.

Crime was just as varied, people resizing jewelry and disappearing from the scene, only to be met by a hero.

It was vaguely like watching a car crash, if a car crash were society.

But the more pressing thought on my mind was one thing and one thing only.

'I want a cat… better yet, several cats'

Cats had been the only good thing I had done in my past life. Taking in strays and nurturing them to health, then handing them off to foster homes, I knew would take care of them.

And I had one goal in mind, a Cat Cafe.

But first, I needed money. And I had no idea how. That was my state of things until I saw something.

*One Bag of trash from the streets equals 790 yen* (five bucks)

'Community service… dope.'

Who wasn't above a little community service in a life they just spawned into thirty minutes ago? I for sure wasn't. And lucky thing the sign had bags attached to it, or I probably would have had to beg for a trash bag. Wouldn't be the worst thing I begged for.

And the work wasn't even that bad; it was methodical work. There was so much trash on the ground that I could turn one bag in, then buy a box of trash bags. Then I would repeat this by buying cases of water and selling them each for a dollar. People were even more keen to buy them when I revealed them to be cold after my investment in a cooler. But the sun started setting then.

I had to find a place to sleep. The streets would be fine, but with me not knowing how the crime in the area was, I wanted to be off the streets.

{Ding!}

{Quest received!}

{A Player's Free Bed}

{Find and procure the use of a woman's bed by sleeping with them. A prostitute or brothel is a viable option}

{Rewards}

{One free ability Wheel Spin and 5,000 yen}

'…streets it is.'

It was actually easier than I thought. I just found a group of homeless people and offered to buy a cardboard box for the night. They were actually really kind. Even gave me a sleeping bag.

The next day was… interesting. There was some homeless dude banging some chick just around the corner. She certainly seemed to be enjoying it based on the noises, but I had stuff I needed to do.

I needed to keep building up money so that I could eventually buy a building. Ambitious but doable, I saw the pricing on some of the further buildings on the way to UA.

Why specifically UA? Because why wouldn't I want the chance to meet some of the cast? Rather meet the cast on a coffee break than meet them during the war.

So it was back to selling water, after getting a fair bit of mint for food and some bag I made my next big investment.

A squeegee

And a bottle of window cleaner, but the word squeegee is just fun to think.

Squeegee! Squeegee!

My next big thing was that I would clean the windows of stores for cheaper than professional cleaners, but big blow to my skinny wallet.

This… actually drastically failed.

Stores were so often broken into or destroyed that the building's insurance was able to replace them, along with whatever damage the hero had to pay for.

I got possibly three uses out of my idea when I had to abandon it. Kinda gave you a look at what society was like. Companies stayed in business because villains were a thing. If there was a small store that had hardly any customers, then a villain could just come along, break a few windows, and the store would get a big fat check.

Well, you lose some, you win some. And I need some wins.

So I went back to being a walking water vending machine. The beach was just kinda a shit hole. Enough trash to make a hoarder blush.

{Ding!}

{Quest Received!}

{Junkyard Love!}

{Objective}

{Make love to a person of your choosing in the worst part of the dump and make a dump! Bonus points for the person being a mechanic!}

Those were there too. Annoying in how varied they were, considering I am hardly 18, but that didn't stop a lot of kids. I haven't been able to use much of my skill since I had ent actually had a place I haven't considered home.

But I was getting there; I had just opened a bank account. Despite not having parents, unfortunately, that seemed to be a common occurrence, as I was given an account anyway. My next idea was to wash cars. I did it back in my old life, so I had a good idea of how to do it well.

{Ding!}

{New Objective!}

{Playboy status}

{Make enough money to have Gold diggers running to smell you}

{Current Balance: 56 thousand Yen. Goal: 100 million yen}

((100 million yen equals 1 million dollars))

'That at least is… sort of useful?'

It didn't matter much. I got a card, it was a business card, but the name had faded. So it was worth a shot; nobody had a business card unless they got money.

"Hello?"

"Hi, yes, I found this card on the ground and was wondering-"

"We're not buying whatever you're selling."

The voice on the other side was stern and seemed annoyed. Probably used to getting spam calls.

"Oh, I am not selling, I was wondering if you had any cars you would like washed for far cheaper than a professional."

"… how much cheaper?"

I smiled.

'Got 'em'

"At least eighty percent cheaper."

"…please hold."

I probably should have expected fate to be annoying.

{Ding!}

{New Quest!}

{Breed the Princess!}

{Seduce the Princess of the Momo family}

{Rewards!

((Again, I can't spell her last name))

'Well, at least I'll be far away from any girls.'

I shouldn't have jinxed myself.
