The smirk disappeared after a moment, he thought about what the system just told him about its abilities. He would no longer have to sit around and wait for something to happen, he would get targets to aim for and know what to work towards. The system talked about changing stats which meant he could get rewards and easily improve himself.

The thing he was even more interested about was the ability to see people's affection for him and the save and load feature. The affection feature was interesting, he would know if certain people liked him or not, before he had to guess and he didn't know if the people he ignored actually liked him. This gave him an increase in anxiety before as he was starting to get scared of talking to people.

Now the main attraction, the save and load feature. "System, how do I go about using saves and then loading them up?"

[The host currently possesses one save slot, he can save into it by either saying in his mind or aloud "Save to slot 1" or anything similar and the system will reply with 'Saved to slot 1'. To load the host needs to either say in his mind or aloud "Load slot 1" or anything similar and the host will be taken back.]

A simple instruction, "System, is there any limitations?"

[The host can travel as far back as he wishes without any effects, however, the host can only save once every six hours.]

Milo asked for limitations, yet he didn't get anything serious. He highly doubted he would need to save more than once a day. But now was time to test out the power of the system for himself. "Save to slot 1" he had said this aloud.

[Saved to slot 1]

He then carried on to go sit down on the sofa, there was a medium-sized TV in front and he turned it on. Above was a clock, the current time was 12:02. He watched the TV for around five minutes and looked at the clock again, 12:07. "Load slot 1"

[Loading back to slot 1]

Milo's vision suddenly turned white as if a flashbang got chucked in front of him, his eyes were bloodshot from going back and he looked at the clock, 12:02. He was standing in front of the mirror where he said to save and he had managed to return to it.

This would be something very useful, he knew he would use this in the future a lot. He had already thought up of some cunning ideas on how to make his life easier. "System, if I were to go back to a save slot, how much would time change?"

[When the host goes back, then the world will still stay on the same course, therefore, nothing will change.]

The smile on Milo's face grew even bigger. "Alright, now do I have any money or identification? I have an idea for later on."

[In the host's wardrobe is an unlocked safe with 100 credits along with identification. There is also a card which posses 1000 credits. The pin is 1-3-3-7 if it needs to be used.]

He quickly rushed to the wardrobe, it was in his room which had a double sized bed and a view of the city. This was his actual first time seeing the city, it was really luxurious and all the buildings rose toward the sky. If he were to compare it to a city from his old world, then it would be New York.

When he checked the wardrobe he saw that there was a full selection of clothes for him to pick from. There was also the safe, inside he saw the 100 credits and the identification. He picked up the credits and put it in his pockets, the identification was a holographic display with his name and age. He was born on the 25th of July in 2057. "System, what's the current date. Oh, also what's the exchange rate between credits and the currency I previously used."

[The current date is the 6th of August in 2073. The exchange rate is almost identical for the host's old currency.]

He took the identification as well and put it in his pocket. He was currently wearing a basic red t-shirt and black jeans with some shoes he didn't know the brand of. This was the default clothing given to him and he decided to keep it.

He walked back to where he started and went to the front door. He opened the door and closed it, he noticed that the door was unlocked with a fingerprint, this was something useful as he didn't need to look out for his keys. He now possed his first real choice. Go left or right. He was currently in an apartment complex where he didn't know where to go. 'I've always been taught to keep to the right when I'm lost' he thought to himself.

He walked down the blank hallway of doors and turned the corner to see a dead end. "Well then..." He spoke up quietly and turned around. This time he went the correct way and found a staircase which leads directly to the exit.

[Would host like to activate the map?]

'Yes!' he switched over to talking in his mind since he didn't want people to think that he was some crazy person.

[Map activated]

Suddenly in the corner of Milo's vision was a flat map of Nova Aeries, it showed details such as what the building was called and what use it had, he could even see further up ahead and noticed that there was a shop and also a history museum of Nova Aeries.

First of all, he walked into the small shop, it wasn't anything big but neither small. The inventory was quite varied, he walked along to see a selection of foods along with some 'entertainment' which he walked past without acknowledging it. He picked out a few things he saw, the first was some chewing gum and then a bottle of water. He only wanted these as he explored. To his surprise, all the items had a price tag above them in credits. The chewing gum cost 0.50 credits and the water 1 credit. He walked up the counter finally and paid for his items. "Hey, how old do you have to be to play the lottery?"

Simultaneously the system and the person behind the counter answered, "You need to be 18 years old to play the lottery."

Damn, the system answered even though it wasn't aimed at it. He just nodded and walked out with his paid goods. Next up was the history museum. When he was walking along he could only think about being 16. He couldn't play the lottery which ruined his original plan, he was going to wait till the next day and save. When the results for the lottery got announced he would go back and buy a ticket with those numbers in order to win. But he was too young to even play, he might have to actually get a job in order to keep up with his credits.
