For the first time since taking over this body, Leo felt that it truly belonged to him. He felt relieved knowing that it was finally completely his and that he no longer had to share it.
Afterward, he began to reflect and reorganize his new memories. The more he reviewed them, the more he remembered—and the more shocked he became.
The system was right. He really was in a different universe. To be precise, he was on a different Earth from his previous life. It had different countries. Some languages were the same, like English, but there were also entirely new ones.
This Earth was at roughly the same technological level as his previous world—perhaps even more advanced in some sectors—but its culture and entertainment were different, such as movies and books.
It was a shame he didn't have an eidetic memory. Otherwise, he could have used memories from his previous life to earn money by recreating those works.
'Wait a moment… thinking about it now, I have a system. If I remember correctly, it said it was a Business Management System.'
'Well, I think I'm going a bit too fast. I still need to get oriented—and besides, I have all the time in the world now.'
He continued going through the inherited memories and discovered that the city he now lived in was called Luniton. Somehow, it had some characteristics similar to New York. However, it was twice as large—roughly the size of Australia.
And it wasn't even one of the five major countries on the continent of this planet. That was when he realized that this planet was twice as large as his previous one.
He lived in the poor district of one of the major cities of the country—Luniton City.
After reviewing all the memories, Leo realized that Isabella had gone out for a walk with some of her friends. He felt relieved because he wasn't mentally ready yet and didn't want her to see everything that had happened today.
[DING! Package available. Do you wish to retrieve it?]
"Oh, a gift package? YES! Of course I want it," he said excitedly.
[Ding! Received:
~ 10,000 Lyren (currency)
~ An untraceable bank account
~ A Vitality Restoration Pill
~ Financial Management – Level 1]
"Wow, this is amazing!!" Leo thought.
"First of all, the 10,000 Lyren should be comparable to dollars, and it's more than the original owner of this body earned in a year of jumping between jobs. The bank account is also incredible, because now I have the freedom to do things without authorities tracking my money. And the financial management knowledge will help me understand how to use money properly. But the most useful reward is definitely the Vitality Restoration Pill."
Leo opened the details of the Vitality Restoration Pill.
[Vitality Restoration Pill: Capable of restoring the body's vitality and eliminating diseases and toxins, bringing it to its peak condition.]
"This is exactly what I need! This body is so weak that I even struggle to walk. I need to be healthy to take care of Isabella," he thought.
Leo eagerly retrieved the pill, and it appeared out of nowhere in the palm of his hand. It was golden-orange in color and about the size of a peanut.
He placed it in his mouth and swallowed it. Instantly, he felt a soothing sensation spread throughout his body, like being gently massaged from head to toe for almost five minutes.
When it ended, he stood up from the armchair and looked at his reflection in the mirror.
'I can barely recognize myself. I'm still thin, but my complexion is much healthier. My eyes are blue, and now they carry a determination they didn't have before. I can also move without difficulty.'
'This is amazing!'
He then decided to retrieve the knowledge of financial management.
'Retrieve Financial Management knowledge.'
He felt a tingling sensation in his head as streams of information about economics, finance, and their applications flooded his mind.
