6 Days Later …
Eren POV...
To put my pain in one word it would be miserable. The past few days I have been a shit show. Going through withdrawal and resisting the want for alcohol. Almost a week of just suffering, just me, Eren, and the toilet. However, the worst of it is behind me and it's time to see what money I have. After eating a good meal from Veronica I went to my desk and looked at the information Veronica collected. 'Overall, I only have around $2 million left from both me & the inheritance from my family'.
'Damn! How did the previous owner spend so much money? While I technically own DreamHigh now that my family is dead the previous host gave control to a family friend until he was ready. Currently, I don't want to take over the company until I have the system problem taken care of. My withdrawal is mostly over; now the only thing I have to do to gain the system is getting into shape. As I am now I'm skinny and very unhealthy. Probably around a 4-month process if I spend all my time on it.'
"Actually, I could probably give Veronica a vacation." I walk downstairs and see her cleaning up after cooking the meal, "Hey Veronica."

I heard someone coming down the stairs and looked up. 'He's already done, I'm glad he's able to move around and not have to spend a few more days in the restroom.'
All of a sudden I hear, "Hey Veronica".
I turn to where I hear the voice and see Mr. Wayne approaching me. "I am happy to see you moving around," I said with a smile.
"Have you ever thought about taking a vacation or going to go see your family; over the next few months I will be doing nothing but getting into shape and finishing recovery so it's as good of a time as any". 'I was a little taken back, to be honest, why would he ask that I mean I've thought about it, but I never thought of asking for one. Is he trying to get rid of me?' I started to get worried, "No sir I can't leave you in the middle of what you've been going through the past few months, especially the past week". 'It's true he could relapse or fall into a more dangerous depression.'
"I know you're worried, but I'll be fine, if I have a problem, I'll give you a call", he said putting his hands on my shoulders.
"I can't leave you here sir what if you forget or are unable to call", but he let out a quick chuckle.
"I appreciate your concern and I'm glad you're here with me. How about this I'll call every 2 weeks and we can video chat if you want to check on my health. It will be paid leave as well. So please take a break and when you come back, I'll be right here but looking better", he finished with a mind-numbing smile.
'Dammit that smile is so calming, I guess I could go see my family for once. Also, I can check on his health every 2 weeks.' Taking a deep breath, I look him straight in the eyes and concede, "Fine, but every 2 weeks promise!" I said, raising my voice slightly.
"Yes, yes I promise," he said putting both his hands up.
Time Skip...
Erin POV...
Veronica left the house the next day and set off to see her family. After she left, I went ham. I contacted a construction crew to build a home gym and ordered all the equipment I would need with my remaining inheritance. I then hired a personal trainer and hired a dietitian to teach me the correct meals to eat & how to make them. "Lets get jiggy with it".
4 months later…
Let's just say that getting into shape teaches you a high amount of self-control. At first, it was curling but as the weeks passed I began to enjoy it. Eventually, I learned how to cook the meals myself and work out myself, so I got rid of the dietitian & personal trainer. Today I look in the mirror to see a very tight muscle definition on my body while staying very lean. Feeling proud of myself I suddenly hear a voice in my head.
{System Qualifications Met. System Activated.}
"Lets fucking go," I said punching the air in excitement. 'Alright, system how do you work'.
{I Am Known As A Content Retrieval And Skills System.}
'That's … really good,' I thought. 'So how do I obtain content or skills.'
{Skills Are Obtained Through Fan Value Which Is Determined By Multiple Factors Based On The Content You Produce. You Will Receive Content Points By Releasing Content.}
'Okay makes sense so any rules I need to know about for example will you ever leave, are you always available, what can I ask you?'
{I Will Always Be Available And Any Questions Related To What's In The System I Am Able To Answer. To Start You Will Have A Balance Of 25 Fan Value And 2 Content Points.}
Suddenly a screen popped up in my vision showing a list of different skills. 'Looking at the options I am shocked by the options of skills such as [Beginner 'Singing'] to [Advanced 'Cooking']. I don't think I will purchase any skills right now.' Suddenly a notification popped up.
{Script Obtained "Home Alone" Remaining Content Points 1.}
'In my original world Home Along made a large amount of money and it's a simple movie to film. I didn't really like the sequels but if done right it could make a really good movie. Suddenly, I hear a car roll up to the driveway. 'Well looks like she's back'. I walk to the front door and open it just in time to see her walking up to the door, "Welcome back Veronica".
Veronica Price (POV)
I had a wonderful time on my vacation. Seeing family and visiting Hawaii was amazing but I was itching to return to work. Once I arrived I took my suitcase out of the trunk. When I approached the front door it opened and I saw Eren, "Welcome back". 'Wow looking at him now compared to 4 months ago is like night and day. Sure, I checked up on him but after 6 weeks I stopped video chatting since he seemed to be doing fine. Sure, before he was in ok shape maybe a little skinny. But now I can see his muscle outline in his shirt and his face is significantly more defined.'
A blush started to show on her cheeks as she stared at the man in front of her. "UUUhm yes good to be back sir, you look really good, I mean healthy".
"Umm thx ready to get back to work we have a lot to do".
"Yes, sir what's is it I can help you with".
"I would like you to set up a meeting with Anthony Reign".
"Yes, I'll do that right away".
"Take your time to unpack first and settle in".
"Thank you, sir". I walk, take my bag to my room, and unpack my things. 'He's really changed physically', I walk around the house, and I came across a home gym. It was a shocking sight to say the least.
I look at the time, "It's almost lunch I should start cooking Mr. Wayne's meal". I walk to the kitchen to come across a shocking sight. "Sir what are you doing".
"I'm just making my lunch", he says as he shows me part of the meal he's finished making.
Approaching with a worried face I look at what Mr. Wayne is making and was surprised, 'The food looks really good.' "Sir, does this mean I can't cook for you anymore?"
"You can learn the meals I eat and as I get busier I won't have time to cook so you can cook them for me".
A smile appeared on my face, "I would be glad to sir."
