Become Rich With A Trivial System

Chapter 3 - Transported to the New World

At that moment, the entire world was plunged into darkness.

Strangely, Jack felt nothing happening to his body except for a rectangular holographic panel that suddenly appeared in front of him. Before his surprise could fade, the panel displayed a beautiful girl dressed in futuristic clothing.

"Hello Jack, nice to meet you! I am Quantara, an Ultra AI who will assist you in any mission you undertake in the Kingdom of Eldoria!"

"Since you've met me now, it means you've activated the contract and bound yourself to the Quantum System designed for the chosen ones, providing instant training and unlimited wealth," the Ultra AI continued.

"From the hundreds of missions we offer every day, you must choose at least one, and you will receive a bonus depending on the level of difficulty!

As a daily reward, you will also receive 100 RG currency each day for free without having to complete any missions.

But you cannot miss missions for three days in a row, or you will be docked points!"

Quantara then explained several things Jack needed to know about the new world he would be living in.

Among them was that in this new world, Jack would reside in a city called Rivertown in the province of Crystalbrook, the farthest province from the center of the kingdom of Eldoria.

In addition, the currency used in the Kingdom of Eldoria was called RG, short for "Royal Goldens," and was worth ten times more than the dollar on Earth.

Moments later, the world went dark again, and Jack saw his body floating in space.

Unaccustomed to it, he closed his eyes and felt his body move in a certain direction.

Slowly at first, then a little faster, faster still, and... very fast!

But it didn't last long, because in the next few moments, when he opened his eyes, he saw himself standing in front of a simple house, which looked a bit better than the social housing he'd been living in for the last three years.

He stood there with mixed feelings, but mostly with a strong sense of unfamiliarity in his heart.

"The Kingdom of Eldoria?" Jack thought as he looked around.

Still, he saw no striking differences between this place and the places in Carltown where he lived.

"Excuse me, is this the house of the Andrews family?"

A sudden voice from a man behind Jack startled him.

When he turned his head, a mailman handed him a cardboard box that he usually used to pack his belongings.

"This is a delivery for you," he said with a smile.

"But... I'm not..."

He was about to say that he wasn't one of the family the postman was referring to.

But before he could say it, the postman had hurriedly left him.

Jack walked to the front door to inquire if this was indeed the Andrews residence.

But somehow he dropped the box on the ground.

"Darn! It's just a light box; how could I not be more careful?" he cursed himself.

Jack bent down to pick up the box.

However, his eyes unintentionally focused on the contents inside, causing him to furrow his brow.

Out of curiosity, and also quite surprised, Jack reached out to grab some photos inside the box. A young man in a soldier's uniform had a body and a face that looked very similar to his own!

"If Quantara hadn't explained about this young man before, I would have thought that these were all my photos!" he muttered while looking at several photos in his hands.

Not stopping there, Jack also examined some official records of the young man.

"Jack Andrews, died in an accident during training, twenty-one years old, a corporal, living only with a single parent, a woman named Matilda Andrews ..."

That was the only information Jack could read, because after that the door of the house opened and a woman of about forty-five years appeared, carrying a garbage can in her hand.

"Jack, are you home?"

The woman walked up to Jack and hugged him.

"Why are you just standing there and not coming in?" she asked.

"I... I..."

Jack was confused as to what to say.

He couldn't say that he was another Jack and that the woman's son had died.

"If I reveal my true identity, this will surely get very complicated!" Jack thought, still trying to find the most reasonable answer.

Seeing her son's silence, the woman was slightly puzzled.

"Why are you silent? Usually you talk non-stop," she asked.

At that moment, her eyes fell on the pile of papers on the ground.

In an instant, she realized something.

Holding both of her son's cheeks in her hands, Matilda said, "No need to be sad! Being discharged from the military is not the end of everything!"

Matilda thought that Jack's sudden return was because her son had been discharged from his job as a soldier.

"A military career is not the only career you can have! There are many other careers you can choose!" she continued, smiling warmly at Jack.

At that moment, Jack felt a warm feeling in his heart.

On the one hand, he didn't have to think of another reason to explain his presence in this house.

On the other hand, and this was what he was most grateful for, he finally felt the presence of a mother in his life, something he had never felt because his biological mother had died shortly after giving birth.

Matilda's gentle touch on Jack's cheeks made him unconsciously shed tears.

"All right! Stop lamenting your sadness! Go to your room and rest while I cook you something to eat!"
