[The world has changed] after saying that, fireworks were set off and a banner with the words "welcome to the parallel world" could be seen written in big bold letters.
Theodore stared in wonder before asking "nice touch on the fireworks but what is a parallel world"
[In simple terms a parallel world is a world that has similar characteristics as the host's original world but has one small or big difference]
Theodore takes another look at his surroundings "seeing as nothing that I can see has changed, I'll guess and say that I'm on the small side of your terminology but what exactly is the small change."
[Yes it is a small change but when you consider the host's goal it's big deal for, this worlds . . . .entertainment is inferior]
Theodore's eyes lit up with Glee and he swiftly made a break towards his study room sat comfortably in front of the computer, turning it on he got to work.
He first searched all of the influential books, songs and movies and the results turned up as nothing. He was relieved to find out that technology is still the same but the brands changed.
His interest peaked when he found that most of the of big stars still exist in this world, while the rest either have not gotten famous yet or just don't exist at all.
Theodore takes a big breath, brushing his hair aside to show smug smile "I'm guaranteed to be star haha"
Going back to his status "system am I able to change the layout of my status"
[Yes] with the system confirmation Theodore continued and asked: "system separate my health into physical and mental and place a notification for any negative changes."
[Understood]
Status
+Physical: weak
Mental: excited, PTSD
Sigh "It's as I thought, I still have PTSD". The PTSD is due to fact that their souls fused as one, meaning the problems that the original had is then carried onto him, this includes the original host's introvert lifestyle and other bad habits. This also mean he has the same emotional attachment that the original host had to his parents and grandpa.
After accepting his identity he pulls out his phone and checks his bank account. He currently has £1800 that was left by his Grandpa and his parents didn't really get the chance to do their will.
"I don't quite have enough money to move back"
Theo has already decided that if he wants to develop in entertainment he need to move back to America, he could be a star in Britain but in reality, America has more opportunities to be a star. In the meantime, he needs to improve his stats and gain skill.
First, he needs a job that pays well but doesn't have long hours, thinking about it he could do a job that relates to his skills "system show me my skills"
Skills
Cooking: Intermediate
Math: intermediate
Science: Novice
English: intermediate
History: intermediate
Piano: Intermediate
"System explains the rankings"
[Learner, Novice, intermediate, Advanced, Master ???]
Thinking that it doesn't show his progress accurately "Hmm system add a numeric value to it and make the value different for every ranking".
[Understood]
Skills
Cooking: Intermediate 127/250
Math: intermediate 63/250
Science: Novice 107/150
English: intermediate 116/250
History: intermediate 47/250
Piano: Intermediate 177/250
Satisfied with his layout, he gets back to the main problem "I could be a tutor but I'll most likely get turned down when they hear that I'm homeschooled, so that leaves the piano."
Quickly searched piano jobs within his local area. He found 2 jobs, one was to play in a newly opened restaurant and the other is a piano tuner. The first one has an interview on Thursday afternoon at three.
The piano tuner is more of a freelance job where he just goes to house's that need their piano tuned but he still needs to learn to do that. "well today is a Saturday leaving 4 days of grinding "
[<Ding Task: Move to America in 3 months>]
{Reward: ??? }
{Failure: stats are returned to it initial setup}
He expected his first task is this, even though the failure is a little bit too much he's confident that he will get this done. "10:30 pm I best sleep now and get up early hmm system set a recurring notification at 5:00 till I wake and change the notification sound every 10 seconds"
Lying in bed comfortably Theodore asked out of curiosity "Hey system did the other host get moved to a parallel world/universe"
[No it was not needed as they had the necessary talent to achieve their goals]
Theodore sighed and replied "I didn't have the talent to achieve my goals so you moved me to a world where the difficulty to achieve my goal is lessened"
[The Host's assumption are spot on but you forget that the other host timeline was perfect for their Talents]
"Okay I think I understand, thanks for answering I was expecting something along the lines of not enough authority," Theodore said with yawn
[Host, does not need to be concerned about authority as I'm able to answer any question you may have]
"Next time, I'm gonna get some shut eye first. Good night system" Said Theodore
[Understood]
With that being said he went to sleep.
yay the chapters are getting longer.
What do you think of my skill ranking, is there one better cus I feel that's it's a little off
I tried to make the big reveal amazing but I couldn't find the right words so it was a little anticlimactic but I hope you enjoyed next chapter tomorrow
