1 New life

<p>Sunday,<br/><br/>A lady is running now in a dark alley, heading towards the exit. At nighttime, these dark alleys are most dangerous for a woman to traverse. Her name is Kenny Mathu, a shopping mall worker. Some time ago, her shift ended, and now she is heading home. Today, she is quite tired, and because of this, she wanted to take the shortcut home. She knows that this type of dark alley is pretty dangerous for any girl. Still, she took the shortcut.<br/><br/>Now it is 9:00 p.m. You can see many people still on the road, and because of this, she has the confidence to take the shortcut. She walks quickly without stopping, eager to get out of this alley as fast as she can.<br/><br/>She sighs in relief because she doesn't see any people in the dark alley. But she still hurries. A few minutes later, when she is near the exit, she hears a voice that terrifies her. She hears someone calling her name, making her anxious. She turns around to see who is calling but doesn't see anyone, which makes her even more scared.<br/><br/>Now she has to run. 'Why the hell am I taking this shortcut?' is the question she has now. She can see the exit, just a little more, then she will leave this alley. But suddenly, she hears footsteps behind her.<br/><br/>Kenny gets more scared by the sound. She doesn't even dare to turn around.<br/><br/>"Help!!... Help!!..... Help!," she begins shouting in a shaking voice. She is so scared that she can't even shout for help properly.<br/><br/>"Hehe, Kenny, why are you shouting?" Suddenly, she hears a voice from her left side. She is frightened and turns her head toward her left side.<br/><br/>At this time, some people near the alley suddenly hear a scream.<br/><br/>"Ahhhhhhhhhh!!!!!," by hearing the sound, you can tell it is a girl's voice, and she is pretty frightened. Instantly, many people go toward the alley to find out what happened.<br/><br/>They see a girl lying down on the ground, bleeding from her head. Someone quickly calls an ambulance and also calls the police.<br/><br/>Next day,<br/><br/>A man is lying down in his bed, sleeping. But suddenly, his phone rings. With sleepiness, he answers the phone.<br/><br/>"Hello, who is this? Why are you calling me in the morning?"<br/><br/>"You idiot!!!!!! Wake up. It is now 11:00 AM. You're still calling this morning. You got a case in your hand." The other party says to him.<br/><br/>"Oh... Mark, it is you. Yawn... Good morning, Mark." He wakes up and yawns. But suddenly, he remembers the second part his friend told him.<br/><br/>"Are you telling me the truth, Mark? Did I actually get a case?" He asks his friend with excitement.<br/><br/>"Yes, you stupid idiot. Now I woke up and went to the coffee shop. I will talk to you there," Mark says and cuts the call.<br/><br/>"Yahoo .... Today is my lucky day," he jumps in excitement and bounces to the bathroom to freshen himself.<br/><br/>After washing his face with cold water, he looks at his reflection in the mirror. He sees a person with dark hair and eyes, with a splendid figure (Not too lean or too muscular). He has an athletic build with his 6-foot height, making him good-looking, but not excessively.<br/><br/>He is actually not from this world. He came from Earth to this new Earth. His name is Arthur Fernandes, an orphan. In his previous life, he also had the same name. He was a college student in his previous life. But, in 2020, he got affected by a virus called COVID and died. And now, he has been transmitted to this new world with the same name but a different body. In this life, he is a freshman that recently graduated from the Gema detective school.<br/><br/>He was pretty excited about solving many mysteries. But in his first case, he made a big mistake. Because of this mistake, almost one innocent person was going to be killed, but thankfully his friend Mark was there. Somehow, Mark solved the case and brought him back home. Arthur felt so guilty about his mistake that he ended his life, and like this, Arthur, from a different world, came into his body.<br/><br/>It has been an entire month since he came to this new world. It took him some time to adjust to this new world. This Earth is pretty similar to his old world, so he adjusts quickly. At first, he didn't know what to do, but thankfully when he was about to give up on his detective life or, we can say, mystery solver life, heaven gifted him a golden finger. Suddenly, his old phone glowed. Sometime later, he can see the phone. It turned into a new phone. He never saw this type of model in his life.<br/><br/>Arthur quickly turns on his phone. His old application was still there, but scrolling down, he saw three new applications. My status, mission, and inventory are the three new applications he can see on his new mobile.<br/><br/>He became very excited after seeing these applications. Finally, one month later, he got his Golden finger. He is about to give up on his detective life, but after receiving his Golden finger, now he is filled with new hope.<br/><br/>After suppressing his excitement, he quickly opens the "My status" application.<br/><br/>"Status,<br/><br/>Name: Arthur Fernandes<br/><br/>Level: 1<br/><br/>Job: Newbie detective.<br/><br/>Mystery point: 0<br/><br/>Strength: 13<br/><br/>Agility: 11<br/><br/>Intelligence: 10<br/><br/>Physique: 12<br/><br/>[A/N: Normal human status point is 10.]<br/><br/>Skill:<br/><br/>Cooking (Level 2) [You can cook food.]<br/><br/>Detective (level 1) [You can solve mysteries. ]<br/><br/>Martial art (level 3) [You can fight properly using martial arts.]<br/><br/>Kickboxing (level 2) [You can fight using kicks.]<br/><br/>Driving (level 2) [You can drive your car.]"<br/><br/>Seeing his status, you can say he was pretty disappointed. Previously, Arthur was pretty good at fighting, but he wasn't that good at solving mysteries. But he quickly cheers himself up. He got a golden finger. If luck is on his side, then he could be the world's best detective.<br/><br/>He quickly opens the other two applications. When he opens the "mission" application, it shows him "None". That means he doesn't have any mission right now. So he opens the last application "inventory".<br/><br/>To be continued ---------</p>
