Fantastic Life Tycoon - Chapter 2

I felt my moment had come. I needed my very own background music for this.

Brian had black lines on his forehead.

“System is a liar. My mom had me checked.”

Brian felt like a warm feeling spreading in his body going to all parts. But, it was just that there seemed to be no visible effect. No layer of black spot on his body.

Was this repair treatment a scam? Shouldn’t I have muscles in an instant.

“What is this bullshit. Where is my system loli?”

“1000$. At least, there is no time limit. I can go as I like. Fantastic life System, at least the name is domineering.”

Brian was thankful that he didn’t have to massage girls to get powerful, not like that is bad. It’s just that it is really hard to massage with one hand.

“The next question is earning that much money. I can work part-time. Here in South Cali, I can earn that much if I leave college and only work multiple jobs. But do I really want to, there should be some easy way.”

Brian was contemplating on how to get that 1k.

“It is really a mess. I should go out and breathe some fresh 2013 air. I don’t even know what the world will feel like.”

Brian took a bath in the college dorm. It was before 7 am so the batharea was a ghost town.

Brian reminiscing the old days where he worked like a bot through college for better grades, chasing a better future, not knowing what would happen in that “better” future.

“Let’s live in the moment, this time.”

After the shower, he came out in a towel wrapped around his waist. Looking at himself in the large glass mirror, Brian was looking at how his body had changed over the years and come back to this.

“I should get some exercise.” With this thought in mind, Brian went back to his room.

Putting on his shorts and running shoes, Brian walked out of the university dorms to the playground.

Looking around while jogging to the grounds, all the buildings in the school reminded him of the past or the future considering his current situation.

Bryan felt like calling home, talking to his parents, his little sister but resisted. He didn’t call home at such awkward times. His home in Nevada county would surely worry for nothing.

Walking along the pavement which was slightly wet because of the morning dew leaving a trail of footsteps as he walked on it, Bryan reached grounds.

It was still some time to 7 am but the ground had lots of students and even staff exercising, playing, just having fun. Bryan joined the running group and followed the runners.

Everything was fine till the first round but slowing Brian was left behind due to his not so perfect body if we put it mildly.

Brian completed another round almost feeling dead in the process. He was feeling accomplished with his achievement.

“You are a fatty.”

Brian heard a girl’s remark.

He turned around to see a girl running behind him.

Brian made a gesture with his finger pointing at himself saying “I am a fatty.”

The short girl who was about 160cm looked at him clueless.

“Alex, I will call you back later.” Brian heard the girl say and realised that he had misjudged the situation.

“I am sorry, I thought you called me fat that’s why I stopped you. I don’t usually go around stopping pretty girls.” Brian said.

“Smooth delivery. Sounds like a practised line. My sister warmed me about unknown guys like you.”

Brian choked after hearing her reply.

“I am really sorry. The line was definitely lot practised.”

“It’s okay. I was also a bit rude since you stopped me in the middle of the call.”

“Hi, I am Brian by the way, Brian West.” Bryan extended his hand forward.

“Andrea, Mr West.” teased Andrea at the weird introduction.

Andrea was like a little short compared to Brian. She had that little school girl vibes with her haircut and big round eyes.

“Want to join me for a run. It is pretty boring to run alone here. It was my first day and I am already thinking of hanging up my boots.”

“Hah, it is my first day too. It is all because of my sister who makes me feel guilty about not exercising. Let’s go then.”

“I am a freshman here at the engineering department. What about you?”

“I am in the Arts Department.”

“That’s unique since most of the people I know here are in sciences.”

“You must not be knowing many then.”

“Cough. You don’t have to be so dirrect. It’s still the first month.”

“Did you join any clubs? ” Brian asked fishing for some information.

“The Lit(literature) soc(society).”

“Wow, that’s for nerds. Are you a writer or something.”

Andrea looked to the right towards him as said,” You aren’t a stalker right.”

“Did I get it right? You do write books.”

“Yes, I write on the internet. It’s just for fun though.”

Andrea had stopped this time running and was opening her water bottle to drink.

“Tell me the title. My curiosity is at the peak right now.”

“No, I write under a pen name. I thnk it gives me more freedom to write.” She said while taking a sip.

“So, you write erotic stuff then.”

Fuuuuu…. Andrea almost choked on the water and then hit Brian with her elbow in protest against the dirty stuff he was imagining.

“It was a joke. You don’t have to be mad.”

They slowly walked out of the ground.

Andrea checked her wristwatch. It was almost 7:45.

“I should get going or I will miss the first lecture.”

“Yeah, my dorm is in the same direction.”

In this way, Brian and Andrea walked back together and Andrea finally left with a promise to run together tomorrow morning.

Brian had a smirk on his face.

“Who needs a system when you are already handsome.”

It had been a very platonic conversation but there are no taxes on gloating right?
