4 CHAPTER 004
Once I got to the orphanage, I did my usual routine of taking my shoes off, putting my socks in the socks bin, and doing my chores. It was around 3:50 when I finished. With nothing to do I decided to ask the matron some questions.
"Hi Ms. Atkin's."
"Hey Nathan, did you need something?"
"Yeah, I was wondering if you knew any places that had any computers that I could use?"
"Hmm. . . the library should have them. Why are you asking?"
"I was going to go there for the summer and use it. Is it fine if I go there?"
". . . No, if you want you can just use my laptop, but don't break it, okay?"
"Okay Ms. Atkin's."
With that she handed me her laptop from a drawer in her desk and I walked out of her office. Apparently, her room at the end of the hallway is her bedroom/office. If you first walked in then you'd be in her office, but there is a door to your left and if you walked over there then I'm guessing you'd be in her bedroom.
Walking into my room I sat on my bed and opened the laptop. I didn't have to worry about the password as there was a sticky note on it with it. Logging on I first checked if anything recent happened. Besides the Appellaxian invasion, there wasn't anything to note besides the increase in Hero's. I can't find any information insinuating to the formation of the Justice League so it's still a secret like I thought. The only thing that I could find are articles and News Hosts talking about the rise in vigilante's and what it could mean for the future. I also found G. Gordon Godfrey talking about how it was the Hero's fault that the Appellaxian's appeared, though I clicked off the YouTube video before he could say anything else. You read that correctly, YouTube, it was created in 2001 in this Universe so there goes the option of making it here in my name.
Letting out a chuckle I checked the time and apparently it was 8:21. I'd spent around 4+ hours just checking what I could pirate from my Universe and into this one and I should be set money wise. Twitter, Discord, Instagram, and TikTok haven't been created yet. Though Facebook has been created and Mark Zuckerberg still looks like a robot even in this Universe.
Shaking my head, I returned the laptop to the matron, returned to my bed, and laid there for a while before drifting off to sleep.
Waking up with a stretch of my arms and a shake of my legs I checked the time to see that it was 6:50. With that I grabbed my stuff from under my bed and did my morning routine. Afterwards I put everything where it was supposed to be and laid there on bed wondering what I was supposed to do. From my memories the 'past me' would spend his summer staring at other kids playing with their friends in the back of the Orphanage and imagining fight scenes in his head. Something that I used to do all the time in my last life. . . not the staring at other people's part but imagining fight scenes in my head.
Anyways, my lack of activities to do in my spare time is worrying. I'd rather not spend my time talking to kids mainly because the change in behavior would likely already make me seem even more weird than I already am and who knows if someone in the future might check and see when my behavior changed so I have to be careful.
'There I go again worrying myself over something that likely won't happen.'
I let out a frustrated sight and tossed myself on my side to stare at the wall to my left. To spare myself from the agony of not having anything to do I decided to spend my time planning for the future.
'Since I haven't learned coding, yet I can't create any apps or hack anything, but I should still go over what I know. Mister Freeze's wife should still be in her makeshift cryogenic stasis that he put her in so that he could find a way to revive her. The Light should have already been formed with it consisting of Lex Luthor, Vandal Savage, Ra's Al Ghul. . . that Dalek look alike. . . Klarion, Queen Bee, and Ocean-Master who was secretly Orm. Kid Flash also dies but that's sometime into the future. Around the end of Season 2 if I remember correctly. Speed is a clone. That's pretty much all I know so I should make the Ibrahim Sphere a priority. I honestly don't know how those protagonists remember everything, but the Ibrahim Sphere will help me with that.
Other than that-'
My thoughts were halted when I heard the door close. Turning around and looking it seemed that the other kids had already left though it makes sense since my clock is saying that it's 9:31. From my memories breakfast is given to us at 9:40 so I got up from my bed and went downstairs. Going downstairs I could already hear the kids talking among themselves about their favorite hero. Some say Superman, others say Batman, but I tuned it out after I sat at my seat and waited for the matron to give us breakfast. It took a few minutes, but she eventually gave us our food. I didn't really pay attention to what it was and just ate it. It tasted good but I didn't care much for the taste and continued eating.
Once I was done, I put the bowl in the sink and went outside. Once outside I looked for a place to lay down and found it right under the tree in the backyard. It had more than enough shade to stop the sun from blasting into my eyes when I closed them and allowed me to stare at the clouds without having to move around to avoid just staring at the leaves of the tree.
Once there I laid down and stared at whatever was above which was the clouds. I played a game with myself where I would guess what the clouds looked similar to. One of them looked like a c, another like a Cheeto, one like an umbrella, etc. I stopped paying attention to them after a while and just listened to the wind rustling the leaves as it passed by.
'I can understand why Shikamaru likes this now.'
Sadly, all good things must come to an end and that's exactly what happened as i heard some kids yelling tag or something. I tried to just focus on the leaves rustling but no matter what I did I couldn't as more and more kids came out. I gave up after a while and returned to my room to lay on my bed. Time passed by like that for a while. Seconds turned to minutes, minutes to hours, and hours to days till it was finally April 7th. Monday. I was already getting irritated by the lack of something to do so it being Monday was a relief.
Just like before I woke up in what could be considered a desert with the Large glowing tree in front of me. Obviously, it looks bigger than when I first woke up here as I woke up near the trunk of the tree.
With a smile working its way up my face I reached my right hand out and touched the tree. Unlike last time though I blanked out for a few seconds. It didn't seem to be anything serious as I found myself thinking again and with it came a flood of knowledge. Mostly on programming and . I'm guessing this is to prepare me for the coding needed for the ships. Whatever the reason may be, I have it and I plan on using it. I quickly imagined myself waking up and did just that.
The excitement brought a wide smile to my face so much so that I had to use my hand to cover my mouth as I didn't want anyone to see it. Shaking my head I decided to figure out how I was going to put this to use.
'In my old world, they made a supercomputer out of ps3's, though ps3's were made in 2006 but it might have been created earlier here than in my old world, so I need to check on that. Even if it isn't created yet I could use some PC Graphics Cards for it. I don't specifically remember how much PS3's one PC Graphics Card is worth in terms of performance but it's at least greater than 10. Sadly, that's where life's number one problem rears its ugly head. Money. I don't currently have any money and the matron isn't going to give me the money I need so I'm going to have to lend my 'services' to earn money. So that means doing other people's homework for a fee.'
