After I lost my consciousness I woke up with a major headache in a pile of garbage under a highway and groned. When I started to push the trash away I heard a grone next to me and saw Elizabeth also being covered by trash.
"Welcome back to the world of the living Elizabeth." I joked. While she freed herself from the garbage with my help she started asking "How am I fully functional? Where am I? Who are you and how do you know my name?" 'It seems that she wasn't informed by the old man' I smiled at her "You are functional because I wished for it. As for where we are, well to put it simply, we are in a different universe and I am... was Kevin." She looked at me and appeared to be confused "What do you mean by all of this. Explain further." I sat down on a rusty metal box and explained "We both died, I met the being responsible for my death and he gave a second chance at life along with 3 wishes, one of which I used to bring you along with me."
She stayed silent for a minute and looked at the ground with a sad expression "Tell me, will I ever be able to see my sister again?" "I'm going to be honest with you. You will most likely not see YOUR sister but eventually you can see another version of your sister. So there is at least that." I gave her a sympathetic smile. She looked back up at me with a pained smile and asked me "So your said your name WAS Kevin instead of IS Kevin. Why?" I sighed and answered "Because this Name belonged to my previous life and it reminds me of my friends and family. I suggest you also change your name and mission. After all, Elizabeth died, right?" "I guess you're right."
I stood up and walked to her and said "How about this I give you a new name and mission and you give me a new name. Your new name shall be Marie and your new mission is to find your happiness along with me." She smiled "Alright I'll accept the new name and mission and I return I give you the name Jack." I held my hand out to her "It's nice to meet you, Marie. My name is jack." Elizabeth or rather Marie held my hand "It's also nice to meet you too Jack." Then I help her stand up. "I guess first order of business is to find a place for us to sleep in and for that I have an idea but first let's check what we have."
After searching in our pockets we both found found letters from the old man. Both letters were about how the inventory functioned and about the upgrades given to Marie. It seems that my inventory has 3000 Eddies and some other minor things and is excesibal to Marie. Marie got upgrades that made her seem more human like giving her the ability to cry, eat and more but she can turn those functions off. The old man also wrote that I can play/watch my stuff with the help of a BD. For music I only need to connect to Marie.
"Marie can you access the internet and search for afordable housing? I'll check out if there is anything useful in the trash piles. Call me if you need something." Marie just nodded and sat down. 'Well, time for treasur hunting'.

After Jack went to search in the garbage piles, I started to surf the internet for information. I searched for history, problems of society, technological advancements and maps. 'It's really astounding how cruel and idiotic the humanity in this world is. The worst of them appears to be the corpo. I'm starting to think that my new mission will be impossible'
Suddenly I hear Jack falling and shouting "I'm OK!". I giggled a bit and started to think about his answer about the possibility of seeing my sister again. 'I wonder how I'll see my sister again. Has he wished for the ability to travel to other worlds? No he couldn't have wished for that, otherwise we would be in a better world. Whatever he wished for I hope for him he wished for something useful otherwise we might get eaten alive by this world.'
When I started to actually search for a place to live I found a few potential places. The best option was to rent an apartment in a building called Megabuilding H4. I needed to talk with Jack about this but before that there were a few things I needed to prepare for renting or buying a residence.
After some time I called Jack over. "Jack I found a few places we could stay at. The best place would be in Megabuilding H4 in the southern parts of Arroyo. Here are some pictures from the apartment." After he looked at the pictures I sent him, he nodded "Good job on finding a place to stay. By the way, we need to find a broken car and tools because we might need a ride in the future." I looked at him with a deadpan expration "Aren't you hungry or exhausted from all the searching. It's best you go eat something. I heard of a good place to eat nearby so let's go." "Ok. I guess I am a bit hungry, but let's look for a car after I eat. Oh and will you also eat a bit, since you can now eat thanks to your upgrades." "Oh yeah, the upgrades. I guess I should at least try food once." Then we went to the nearest place. 'I wonder what food tastes like'
