The first door on the second floor is where the Master's Bedroom is and where Jerry is currently at, arranging and folding Ashton's clothes for him. He has a king-sized bed, a bed side table, lamp, a projector instead of a tv, and walk-in closets. It's a bit excessive for Ashton but is he complained. Of course not. There's also a pretty bathroom in there with toiletries already available for use. Aside from the Master's Bedroom, there's a veranda at the second floor for re-creational activities as well…

Ashton still couldn't get over the fact that the front seat just twisted like but he had to since the man has something to tell him and it seems important. "You've heard this from the doctors before. You are cursed." Agent Theta didn't beat around the bush and instantly went into the sore spot. "While the doctors told you that it will make your life difficult, I don't think you truly understand what that entails." "I'm not them, I won't mince words with you." Agent Theta looked straight to his eyes and…

Ms. Jones guided Ashton on how to navigate the hologram in front of him. That being said, Ashton still doesn't recognize most of things written in it. He could read yes, but barely. The Orphanage never really focused a lot when it comes to the basic knowledge. Old Ashton was the one who worked really hard to make sense of things. There are terminologies in there that he can't quite grasp just yet. That being said, navigating the hologram was quite simple, it's touch-activated just like smartphones back…

'Okay, wow! How generous. Uh...Open Inventory? Ooh! It works!' It's really hard to divide his attention. He has to make sure that he doesn't look suspicious as he explored his System so he had to control his facial reactions but at the same time, he's excited to know everything he needs to know about it. As he did his best to multi-task, Ashton looked at his Inventory and inspected the items placed in there. He focused at the first item he saw and its description showed itself to him. : Show this…

It wouldn't take a genius for someone to know that what happened to Ashton was bad-no, terrible. Yes, he isn't really injured, just a bit uncomfortable but judging by the way how they didn't hesitate to 'isolate' him and them whispering the words 'Cursed Artifact' with such a thick horror on their voices, it is too obvious that this situation was bad. Despite this, Ashton didn't really know how to react. There are so many things that he still doesn't understand in this world. Hell! It hasn't even been a…

Ashton went towards the mean-looking man that Apple told him about. As he drew closer, the man noticed him and huffed, he then pointed behind him and said: "Stand there." Ash nodded and joined the rest of the orphans in the elevator. The elevator they're are was a circular one, it's big too. It can probably carry at least twenty people in one go. He didn't see any weight or number limit though so he could only guess. When there's about 15 of them in the elevator, the mean-looking man pressed some…

Ashton was speechless, he wasn't expecting something like that. What a ridiculous commercial that was! It isn't just that too...the following commercials after that are just the same. It was bad and cringy, yet for some reason, Ashton could tell that this kind of marketing might just work in a world like this. Mildly disappointed, Ashton secretly shook his head and instead looked out of the window. What he see out there was more pleasant than those commercials at least. He saw the transit entering some…

Including Ashton, there's five other kids who are also coming to the Awakening Ceremony. Just like him, they too are 13 years old. The oldest amongst them was 13 and five months old. And while it's arguable that some of them could've had their Awakening earlier, the Orphanage is poor so they could only follow the arrangement of the Orphanage to have their Awakening. The six teenagers as well as three nuns are now waiting for the transit to arrive. Ashton was hiding behind them, trying to make his…

"Oh..." Ashton was quite disappointed after seeing the state of the System. Then again, it's not like it was an impossible mission, in fact isn't this a free-giveaway? What's there to be disappointed about? "Ash, sweetie. Are you up?" He was startled by the voice of the nun from earlier. Ashton nearly answered out loud but he managed to stopped himself from doing so. 'Oops, nearly f-ed up there. I can't do that, it's out of character. Note to self, conceal, don't feel. Don't let it go.' Ashton didn't…
