Chapter 3: Adjusting to the Past
Daniel's first challenge was adapting to life in 2004. Everything seemed simpler but also more primitive—no advanced AI, no flying cars, no holographic interfaces. Yet, he saw the opportunities.He took up work as a carpenter, rebuilding homes and furniture, using his skills to earn money. With his new enhanced intelligence, every task became an opportunity to learn and innovate.He also used the system's network to gather knowledge. He studied modern technology, politics, and society—building a mental library that he could access instantly. His goal was clear: gather enough money to fund his mission and build a future where humans could stand against the Xantheans.
