Considering I had never been to new York before I decided to check out the city. Storing my weapon in my inventory I decided to ask my system a question.
'Hey system instead of constantly taking off my armor is there a feature to make it not show up but still give me protection.'
[Yes host there you can toggle the visibility of your armor at will]
"Hell ya"
Toggling my armor invisible I quickly got dressed in a good looking black outfit and left my loft.
After greeting the door man I took a cab to Destiny USA, the biggest mall in New York.
Upon arriving I promptly paid the cab driver and entered the mall. I grew up in a smaller town so something this size should've been a culture shock but after seeing the beauty of The Land Between some shitty mall could hardly compare. That wouldn't stop me from enjoying it though so I walked around checking out quite a few places to eat before moving on to shopping. I was definitely drawing attention with my looks but paid them no mind considering the caliber of women I would be getting in Elden ring and DS3. No regular woman could compare to Renna, Melina and The Fire Keeper and I would have them all if it was the last thing I did.
Making my way through the shopping district I decided to take full advantage of the new money I have and bought plenty of Armani, Dior and similar brands enjoying the peaceful environment and cute staff doting on me seeing that I was a big spender. Finishing off my shopping excursion I bought a Rolex as I was unable to buy one before I passed in my past life.
Checking my bank account I still had a few hundred million liquid from my parents inheritance and I would gain many more million each year from the stock dividends from my parents.
Knowing I had plenty of money I went to a Dealership looking for a black Rolls Royce Ghost.
"Hey, what can I do for you today? Are you just looking around or are your parents here looking for a car" question the kind elder gentleman dressed in a nice suit.
"Actually I am the one looking for a car currently and I was wondering if you had any Ghosts still available"
"You sure kid those are a bit pricey. I don't want your parents to get angry at us even if you can afford it."
"Not to worry my parents aren't alive in the first place and I am just treating myself dor my 16th birthday I lied."
"Jesus kid, my bad I had no idea let me run your credit and then we can get started as long as everything checks out."
Taking my card he goes to run it even though he doubted I could afford it he still treated me seriously.
A few minutes later He came back with a manager since it appears he did a google search and found out who I was.
"Sorry for not recognising you sooner Mister Akahito, We have the paper on hand all we need is your signature on this paper and you can either pay outright or with monthly payments."
"No worry I am 16 I wouldn't have treated me too seriously in either your position: I said as I filled out the paperwork and chose to pay in a lump sum.
Getting my keys and I peeled off of the lot back toward my luxury Loft. Fully enjoying how comfortable and Honestly beautiful the car was. I wasn't rich In my past life so now that I am I will take full advantage of it. Though I would still avoid being a stuck up prick like Harry.
By the time I arrived at my loft it was already night time so I greeted the doorman and went up to my room.
Whoever said money doesn't buy happiness clearly didn't have enough money because this shit was nice. I had a three story rooftop loft in New York city with a beautiful interior and a bathroom that was nicer than my entire house from my previous life.
After enjoying the shower I had a snack and went to bed looking forward to my first day at Midtown tomorrow.
Waking up peacefully I decided to check my crafting book from my system and saw an item that definitely wasn't in Elden Ring.
[Grace Mimic 2 ]
Craft to place grace in the real world.
Having enough materials for one I quickly made it and placed it on the roof of my apartment in the middle of the pool. It made a beautiful glow and the water around it seemed to shine like a fantasy pool of water with restorative powers. However it was merely aesthetic and did not actually heal people.
Quickly I rested at the grave and found a third area on the map Detailing New York. Hyped with this new discovery I ran downstairs to get dressed and threw on my Rolex along with some Jewelry as I left the loft.
Driving in New York was truly awful. I was honestly less scared of facing demigods in The lands between than the shitty drivers in New york but eventually I made it to school. My car definitely drew quite a few eyes and when I stepped out I drew just as many. Flash and his buddies were already heading my way when they saw the expensive car but stopped dead in their tracks seeing someone else step out.
Luckily for my sanity Harry showed up soon after me and they went to chase his coat tails instead of bothering me as I went to get my class schedule.
Spotting Liz and decided to ask her for help finding my class. I definitely didn't ask her because she was Hot or anything. Ok maybe I did but that is irrelevant Its not like I give a shit that she's dating Flash what is he gonna do to me anyway.
"Hey could you help me find my class" I asked as I walked up behind her.
Startled, she turned around a little pissed off but that faded as soon as she saw what I looked like and a beautiful smile quickly replaced her frown.
"Sure thing, what class do you have first period?"
"I have English first period, what class do you have?"
"Perfect we have the same class just follow me. By the way I haven't seen you around before are you a transfer student or something?'
"Yeah, first day and if everyone looks half as good as you it's a good thing I transferred" I said with a flirtatious smile.
Slightly flushed at the unexpected compliment Liz smiled and replied.
"Don't you think you should get my name before you start flirting with me."
"It's never too early to flirt with someone as attractive as you" I Replied back before asking for her name.
This time she was full on blushing and quickly made an excuse to run off the flash and his lackeys as we had just arrived at class.
Not concerned in the slightest I sat down in the backseat near the window effectively claiming what I considered to be the Main character seat.
Closing my eyes I relaxed until I heard the door open and Flashes voice ring out.
"Come on parker you had all summer to have a glow up and you still look that nerdy get your shit together."
(Tom holland version BTW)
As the class laughed Peter noticed a new face sitting near where Ned always sat.
Quickly plopping in the seat across from me Flash once again started speaking.
"Hey new kid, you sure you want to sit next to the nerd there is plenty of room up here with us."
"Its never a bad thing to have a smart friend and you clearly do not fit that category" I replied snarkily garnering a laugh from the class.
"The fuck did you say asshole" Flash said preparing to come over and to intemidate me.
Luckily for him the teacher walked in and he sat right back down.
"Let's see if you can keep acting like that after lunch" Flash growled at me with what he considered an intimidating stare.
Laughing internally at a shitty highschool bully trying to scare me after I was killed multiple times and killed a demigod I laughed it off.
"Thanks for that" said Peter as the teacher went on about how to punctuate properly.
"No worries man, he seems like a bit of a douche anyway."
Nothing else notable happened in the next few clases and I fuck around looiking at my Stats and asking dumb questions to my system to pass the time.
Ring Ring Ring
Finally the bell went off and everyone packed up and left for lunch. Unlike my past school lunch was a full hour and that alone made this the best school I ever attended.
Arriving at the cafeteria I had the age old dilemma of where to sit. Luckily I saw Peter sitting with Ned and made my way over to sit with them, upsetting a few girls who were making it very obvious they wanted me to sit by them.
"Yo Peter whos this" I asked as I sat down.
"Ohh this is Ned I never did catch your name by the way."
"Oh shit you're right name Ban sorry for the late introduction."
"No worries, that's a pretty unique name. Where are you from?"
"I was originally from Japan but my mother wanted me to attend school in the US so here I am."
"Oh that's awesome. Did your mom come with you to New York or stay in Japan."
"Unfortunately, she passed away in an accident and I came to honor her since it was her last wish for me to go to school here."
"Jesus man sorry for being insensitive, we're glad to have you here."
"No worries, it was a while ago. I am pretty much past it now and thanks I am glad to be here."
"By the way, Ned, it's nice to meet you as well. I hope we get along."
"Sure thing any friend of Peters is a friend of mine."
"Glad to hear it. By the way, remind me to bring my own lunch from here on out this tastes like pig feed" I said garnering a laugh from the two.
"By the way you got lucky a month from now we are going to have a field trip to Oscorp to check out the facility" Peter said with an uncomfortable amount of passion in his voice.
As we continued our conversation I noticed Liz getting up from the table and walking my way.
"It appears I've been sent on a peace expedition. Flash and Harry are wondering if you would like to come sit with us."
"No way I am gonna turn down a request form you" I said with a smile as I said my goodbyes to Peter and Ned.
Flirting with Liz the whole way back to her table I noticed a hateful stare from Flash. It appears he is attempting to show that Liz was his and his alone.
All I responded with was a playful smile successfully pissing him off.
Finally reaching the table Liz sat down next to me and sent Flashes rage to a whole new level.
"Why are you sitting next to the new kid Liz you are dating me" Flash said to Liz as he glared at me.
"Don't be an ass Flash Ban is new and I am only being friendly."
"Only being friendly huh, hope don't expect me to believe that shit" I muttered flirtatiously in her ear making her face glow crimson red.
It seems that was the final straw for flash as he stood up and demanded I follow him outside.
Finding it funny I decided to play along and the entire group including Liz who looked worried for me followed along.
Once we were away from the cameras and behind the school flash threw a punch toward my face.
To me it felt extremely slow but I was curious so I let it hit.
Bam
The punch hit its mark directly on my Jaw.
