บท 1: Chapter 1: Reborn
Ryan thoroughly splashed water on his face. He still could not believe it. He had been reborn just like one of those novel protagonists, from a young adult with a heart problem into a handsome 13-year-old boy.
It all happened so suddenly. One moment he was sleeping on his bed, and next, he found himself in this school's washroom. Then as if he had a hangover, his head started hurting badly.
As it turned out, it wasn't a hangover. Instead, he acquired the memories of a 13-year-old boy also named Ryan. Then when he looked at the mirror in the washroom, he found himself occupying the kid's body.
Which led to the scene of him splashing water and pinching himself in hopes that he genuinely wasn't dreaming. After finding positive results that all of this was real, he couldn't help but thank god for giving him another shot at life.
["Are you done yet ?"]
Hearing this, Ryan panicked and turned around to search for the voice. He found himself alone in the washroom and couldn't find the source of the voice, which led him to think he was hallucinating.
["No, I am very authentic, but it's just I am inside your head."]
Ryan asked, "What are you?"
["I am a system sent to accompany you on your endeavors."]
Ryan spoke quickly, "Oh, then what do you do? give me money every minute I breathe like a Shenhao system or give me news from the future so I can get rich through stocks?".
["No, I can't give you money directly, except for a minimum wage, depending on your net worth. My main function is to provide you with television and movie scripts which you could produce to make money."]
Ryan spoke, "Oh, a script writing system that's not bad plus, I guess at least I won't starve with the minimum wage but come to think of it. I come from a wealthy family, so it is tasteless."
The system replied, "It provided for you to become independent and to ensure that if the host ever ends up on the streets, he can at least have some help from the system."
Ryan answered, "I guess having some money of my own doesn't sound bad, and I am assuming that this is tax-free?".
The system replied, "Correct, all the money system provides is tax-free, and no one will find anything wrong with it."
Ryan asked, "Alright, how do I access these movie and tv scripts? I know how to help sell them as my father in this life has connections in Hollywood. Also, does this world not have the works from my last life? Or is it like only future works will work?."
System answered, "Those are some good questions, so I will answer them one by one. First, to access the system scripts, you have to buy them with points. Second, all the works do not exist in this world."
Ryan spoke, "Cool, then I can produce all the classics from my world here and be a legend. Now that I know the basic setting, can you tell me how I earn these points required to buy scripts?."
System asked, "Have you heard of the modern family?"
Ryan spoke, "Of course, one of my favorite shows, but how does that answer my question?"
The system replied, "Well, you are currently in the show's universe. Except for time-space issues, all the works here differ from on earth."
Ryan said, "What, so I am in a modern family, but I still don't understand how this relates to your points."
The system, "You get points by appearing in the shows' plots and interacting with the show's family members."
Ryan asked, "Huh, why is the setting like that? I am not saying I would mind interacting with them, but I want to know how it gives me points. Like, what is the principle for this?"
The system replied, " As they are the universe's main characters, by you being around them and impacting their lives, I can harvest space-time energy."
Ryan said, "Okay, got it, a lot of space energy equals many points, which I can use to get scripts."
The system responded, "Yup, that's correct."
Ryan asked, "Then the next problem is how do I end up interacting with the cast, like how do I locate them."
The system, "I cannot answer that, but you can open the newbie package. Maybe it has your answers."
Ryan asked, "Why?"
The system replied, "To begin with, after the basic system introduction, it costs points to ask me for advice. So open the newbie package instead of constantly questioning everything. The readers would be unhappy if all the 1st chapter was just a Q and A."
Ryan spoke, "I didn't quite catch the last sentence."
The system answered, "Do you want to open the newbie pack or not?"
Ryan spoke, "Fine open the newbie pack."
[Newbie pack being open]
[1 hint for any doubts received.]
[Script for the movie "Friday the 13th" (1980) received]
[Custom Script for the TV show "Southland" (2009-2013) received]
Ryan saw the reward and smiled as receiving the newbie reward gave him famous works such as Friday the 13th and Southland.
Ryan spoke, "By the way, why do I feel something wrong with Southland? If I am correct, all the episode in my head is a combination of season 1 and 2."
The system replied, "Yes, that's correct. All the custom tv scripts have a quality control system which selects all episodes eight or above in IMDB rating if it does not hurt the show's continuity."
Ryan responded, "I see, so as Southland is episodic and each episode is independent, you gave me the best eight episodes of seasons 1 and 2."
The system replied, "Yup, that's correct. For example, if you buy a non-episodic series such as stranger things, where continuity is key, even if it is below 8, it will not be changed for the host. So as the flow is not disturbed."
Ryan asked, "Wait, does stranger things even have a below 8 episode?"
The system responded, "Yes, the starting two episodes of season 3."
Ryan spoke, "That makes sense. What about this Hint?"
The system answered, "Ah yes, you can now ask me a question and use this hint."
Ryan spoke, "Alright, how do I come into contact with modern family members?"
[Hint being used to solve the dilemma.]
[Solution: You are currently in the same class as Alex and the same school as the other kids from Dunphy's family. The pilot is yet to take place, so it is advised to hurry up.]
Ryan saw the Hint and found that the system had tricked him into wasting a hint for almost useless info he would have gotten by just going back to his class.
บท 2: Chapter 2: Hello Neighbor
Ryan exited the bathroom and headed towards his locker to get his Geometry textbook for his first class.
Seeing the thick geometry book, Ryan almost couldn't help but sigh. He has pretty much-forgotten everything he learned in school.
He previously studied in the UK, so even if he knew things, it might not be of much help due to different curriculums.
The worst part about all this was that Ryan knew that he had to excel in all his classes.
Not only did he have to keep his reputation as a genius intact, but it would also help him have a familiar footing with Alex.
He knew Alex would pay attention to anyone who scored more than her. So he had to do his best and ace everything.
Ryan mumbled in the absence of anyone, "It's not like I have other things to do. Plus, with my already adult and powerful brain, I should be able to grasp a hold of all the subjects easily."
He then reported to the class teacher. Who took him to his classroom.
David, the head teacher, said, "This is Mr. Ryan Williams, a transfer student from Townsend Harris High School in New York."
"He has had an excellent record of always getting full marks in all subjects and was also part of the basketball team there."
David asked, "Ryan, please introduce yourself."
Ryan spoke, "As you have heard, my name is Ryan. My favorite sport is basketball, as you may have guessed."
"I transferred here due to my family relocating to Los Angeles. My dad owns his own movie production company and has worked with all the big six studios."
"I dream of becoming a financial analyst who looks at a company's assets, stock market, and the like."
After Ryan finished talking, there was no awkward silence. Instead, everyone was discussing loudly.
David tapped his wooden desk and spoke, "Everyone, please calm down. You all can talk and discuss with Ryan in your spare time."
David looked at Ryan and then pointed to an empty desk next to Alex.
"Please take a seat next to Alex. She will be your buddy. If you have any doubt or need help, you can ask her for help."
Ryan headed to his desk with a straight face, and the class finally started. The day slowly passed, and lunchtime arrived.
Alex and Ryan still hadn't talked much, as both were too focused on learning. Finally, they sat at the same table in the cafeteria with a couple classmates and started talking.
Alex broke the silence and spoke, "So, how are you liking school here?"
Ryan spoke, "Well, it's not bad."
Alex spoke, "Good, good."
Ryan asked, "How long have you been at this school ?"
Alex answered, "I have been here since I started schooling."
Frank spoke, "Ryan do you have any siblings?"
Ryan said, "Nope, what about you?"
Frank answered, "I have one younger brother."
Ryan seeing Alex silent, asked, "What about you?"
Emily spoke, "Oh, she has one elder sister and one younger brother."
Ryan spoke, "That makes you the middle child that rough."
Alex replied, "Yup, it's pretty rough."
Frank spoke, "Look who here," and pointed toward Haley, who entered the cafeteria.
Ryan knew it was Haley but did not break character and asked, "Who is that"
Emily spoke, "It's Haley, Alex's elder sister."
Alex ducked under the table in hopes that Haley would not see her. Unluckily for her, Haley had spotted them sitting at the third table and headed towards them.
Haley spoke, "Oh my, what a crowd you are sitting with, Alex. That strange I don't seem to have met you before."
Ryan responded, "I am a new transfer student Ryan."
Haley asked, "Ryan, is it? Why are you sitting with my sister?"
Ryan spoke, "I can sit wherever I want. Not to mention she is my buddy in class."
Haley spoke, "I see that makes sense. I knew there was no way my sister could pull someone like you directly."
Alex spoke, "Haley don't you have something better to do?"
Haley spoke, "Alright, I am leaving. Bye."
Ryan ignored her and continued enjoying his lunch. As soon as Haley left, Alex apologized for her sister's behavior.
Ryan spoke, "There is no need to apologize."
Like that, an eventful school day soon came to a close. A car came to pick up Ryan, and he sat down and headed home.
Feeling bored, he started chatting with his system in the meantime.
Ryan learned that he earned a net income of 200 points with his last interaction and that if it's a plot-relevant interaction, the points he makes will be higher.
The system also opened a bank account for him and credited it with his weekly minimum wage of 1,000 dollars. Ryan also learned the basic principle of how his salary is calculated.
The increase on this base of 1,000 will be calculated by taking 1 percent of his net worth. For example, if he earns a million dollars through his craft, the minimum wage would become 11,000.
The only sad thing is that the minimum wage earned is not considered in his net worth. Otherwise, his minimum wage would constantly be increasing.
The car soon arrived at its destination, Ryan's house. The next thing that unfolded left him shocked. As he got out, he saw that the house across the road looked familiar.
A Toyota Sienna pulls up at the house across the street, and three kids get out of it. Ryan sees Alex getting out as well. Then it clicked to him that this was the modern family's Dunphy house.
Alex saw Ryan looking over and waved at him, wondering why he was there. Ryan crosses the road and informs her that he lives across the street and feels it is quite a coincidence.
Ryan then parts ways as he has to dump a bunch of scripts stuck in his head.
After heading home, the first thing Ryan did was turn on his computer and open Microsoft word. He changed the font to Courier New and size to 12 and started writing.
