With such a tragic event the world is wondering who will take over DeamHigh studios and continue the legacy left by the Waynes. Keri back to you".
2 Months Later...
I slowly open my eyes and feel a throbbing headache and my whole body aching. 'Why do I feel so sore & sick'? I sit up in my bed and look around me. 'I don't recognize this place; so this must be the body I have taken over. Using all my effort I slowly stand up and walk over to the mirror across the room. As I look at myself, I see what looks like the shell of a handsome man. 'The previous owner must have had some serious problems'. "Ughh", I quickly grab my head as the pain continues to throb until suddenly, I hear a voice.
{Loading System Message. In Order To Unlock The System And All Its' Functions You Must Improve The Health Of The Body You Currenlty Posses And Now Own. Would You Like To Implement Previous Hosts' Memories?}
'Well, shit so that means a certain amount of strength is required to acquire the system'. I'm Assuming getting the memories of the previous host will let me know about the history of this world, who am I, & why this person's health is so bad. System will integrating the memories cause a personality shift or major changes to me?"
"..." "..."
'Well, that's some bullshit, the system can't answer my question since I don't meet the requirements. If it does alter my personality I may not be in full control over this new body. However, I still need to know who I am and the history of this world. Overall, the upsides outweigh the downsides, plus I don't want to go to history class again. System integrate memories'.
{Beginning Process}
All of a sudden, I feel my head start to throb, and pain courses through my head. The pain is constant as I feel like I'm being flooded with information.

After another 2 minutes of the worst pain, I've ever experienced it started to subside and fade.
{Integration Successful. System Now Shutting Down, Good Luck.}
"Wow, it's like that, you motherfucker."
I take a deep breath as I now know who I am. 'I am Eren Wayne 18 years old, son of Thomas & Martha Wayne, Brother to Zoe Wayne and my family is dead. History is the same as my previous world with the changes being mainly in entertainment.' Going through my memories I now understand why I had a headache when I woke up. The previous owner had trouble processing the death of his family fell into a depression and turned to alcohol, drugs, women, and food. 'Looks like I have my work cut out for me. I need to improve my body and get myself healthy so I can receive the system and--
!Knock, knock, knock! "Mr. Wayne, I heard you screaming and wanted to check up on you to make sure you're okay". 'According to my memories, that must be Veronica'. I walk over to the door and open it to see a beautiful woman around the age of 36 with red hair and green eyes with an hourglass figure. Veronica Prince, the Housekeeper, has been working for the Wayne family for over 15 years and has always looked out for both Eren and Zoe.
When Eren laid eyes on her he smiled warmly as you would with a member of the family, "Yes, Veronica I'm alright just a headache, could you bring me a cup of coffee please".
Relaxing her face a little Veronica is relieved as she feared the worst considering what Eren has gone through recently, "Yes I will bring it up to you right away", she said with a calming voice and turned around walking down the hallway.
I close the door with my heart still feeling warm and a look of shock and concern came as I realized something. 'That warm feeling shouldn't have been there I just met her but I feel as if I've known her my whole life. Looks like by integrating the memories my personality hasn't changed but I have the experiences from the previous host.'
I walk over to my desk and plop myself in the chair then take out 2 pieces of paper. 'I need to get myself healthy fast, so stopping the various drugs the previous host was using can be a start.' Luckily, they weren't any that would harm my body in the long term. 'I also need to stop drinking and get sober. I should probably take some anti-depressants as well, so I am able to do the previous 2 things.' "It's not a permanent solution but It will do for now." Finishing writing these things down I sigh and look around the room and on the shelf near me to see a family photo. Getting up I walk over and pick up the photo, 'This guy really had it tough; I would have probably turned out the same way if this happened to me & I had money to drown my sorrows in.' Then a thought came to me, "Wait if I remember correctly the previous host's family owned a production company I think it's called DreamHigh Studios; reminds me of a company back in the other world. I need to gather and manage the remaining money this guy didn't spend and set it aside for future projects. In my past life, I was a stiving voice actor who dabbled in directing but never got my shot. In this world minor things like movies, songs, tv shows, and celebrities are different. 'I could bring some of the famous works from my previous life into this one. I could make whatever I wanted and would become a legend in Hollywood.' A smile crept onto my face as I knew what I wanted to do but first I must look at the finances and start getting healthier--
!Knock Knock Knock! "Mr. Wayne, I have your coffee ready; I'm coming in."
Veronica Prince POV:
!Knock Knock Knock! "Mr. Wayne, I have your coffee ready; I'm coming in". Opening the door and see Mr. Wayne standing looking at his family photo. A feeling of sadness and mourning came on me, 'I feel sorry for him, it must be hard to keep living after your whole family passes away. I've had to watch him drink himself away and make terrible decisions over his body. I was supposed to drive the Wayne family that night but I was told by Thomas & Martha to stay and watch over Erin since he was feeling a little depressed. Apparently, a few days before his then-girlfriend was caught cheating by him when he went to give a surprise visit to her at her college. After that, he didn't want to go anywhere so he stayed in the house.'
Mr. Wayne walked over to me and gently took the coffee from me, "Thank you, Veronica. When you get a chance I need you to do something for me".
"Yes."
"I want you to take all the alcohol out of the house and bring me the anti-depressants that mom bought for me. I also want you to lock my door when you're done with that".
'I understand the anti-depressants, taking out the alcohol but why lock the door, "Sir why would you want me to do that," I said looking at him with a confused face.
"I want to get my drinking under control and I'm going to be honest, I've been using drugs and I need to stop but the withdraw process will be tough so I can't leave this room". 'I was shocked, how could I have not seen his drug use.' "As for the anti-depressants, I feel I will need them to start this whole process of getting healthy."
I just stood there looking at him. 'I can understand doing one of those things but doing all at the same time. He doesn't look like he is joking, he's been drowning himself for the past 2 months. I wonder what changed. However, when I look into his eyes, and I see nothing but resolve so the least I can do is support him. "Okay, anything else you need?"
"I want you to gather information on everything I own and bring me a list of it all. If I'm going succeed, I need to know what I own". I look at him with happiness, 'Somethings changed but it's a good change.' I accidentally let a tear escape from my eye and he noticed.
"Are you ok Veronica, you're crying", he took a step closer to me.
I quickly wipe the tear away. "It's nothing I'll get to work right away". I turn around and walk with a little pep in my step and a smile on my face.
