The reason I've been making these short things is so I don't forget idea that I get during the work week and to practice my writing a bit more while I plan my other stores. Also I have a bunch of half finished fic on here and I don't want to keep adding to the pile.

In my first month after being dropped in the body of some 17 year old orphan in Boston, I was still getting my bearings so it wasn't for awhile till I finally figured out where and who I was, as at first I thought I was reborn in the 1950s but when I was able to comprehend the details better I finally figured out where I was dropped.
The Fallout universe, I was in the 2070s which meant I had one year till bombs fell. I thankfully wasn't left alone I was given a Gamer System that would unlock in phases.
For before the war I would access to the most basic features; my Status, inventory, and skills this allows me to gain skills and knowledge at a increased rate. No class, magic, dimensional travel or anything that truly breaks the laws of reality.
The system did give me a countdown till my system unlocked more features, and the very moment the bombs dropped (3 months) I would have access to everything except dimensional travel.
I knew I couldn't save this world or I should even try as the USA is a mess here with the plagues and resource shortages not to mention the extremely horrible business that were destroying what was left of the environment.
So I immediately began scavenging and gathering every skill I could get in the short term I needed food, water and shelter to survive long enough to the bombs dropping.
As my new body was just about to finish his mandatory education, but his school had joined the vault tech program. Yeah I was signed up for the super soldier program vault based off of breeding, so my post bombing situation was settled if anything goes wrong in my plan to make some personal vault or shelter.
With that part pretty much sorted temporarily I needed to improve my skills and stats which are thus.

With it being Saturday I made a plan on how I was going to increase my stats and skills, first I needed to take advantage of the access to public libraries and study as much as possible to increase my intelligence stats and skills as those will hard to increase later.
I also need to begin stockpiling and hoarding like a loot goblin as anything can be useful in the coming months and years.
Grabbing my backpack and some clothes I walked to the nearest public library, I made my way to the non fiction section and grabbed books on Mechanical, Electrical, and computer engineering, I didn't move from my seat as with my stats and skills I am able to completely understand the basic of all these fields.
With the war going on and curfew in effect I made my way back to the orphanage but taking the long route to stop by a couple of restaurants and workshops too dumpster dive for scrap and food waste.
The food waste was for various seeds and composting materials, while the workshops had a lot of scrap waste from broken or accidentally thrown out tools to take too improve my repair skills.
I repeated this process Sunday, but instead of going to the library as they are closed I decided to head to one of the scrap yards in the area and try to get work, as the pay is pretty much worthless but getting access to people with a lot of mechanical skills.

By Monday morning I had increased my science and my repair skill by five which increased it enough for my too begin experimenting with making me some weapons.
While guns and other weapons are quite prevalent in the pre war I didn't have the money to by them currently and I needed something for defending my self from the various criminals all over Boston.
And with the economy in the gutter and so many people left destitute from the plague many have turned to crime too get by. As my pre insert memories had seen the rise and fall of a lot different gangs over the past couple of years.
But that will have to wait as being a student still and wanting to use the place to train my skills, as for the vault underneath I could careless about the program if I can make my own shelter but if I do get stuck down there I'm going to shut down that experiment as it is extremely dumb like most vault experiments.
Arriving at the school I slipped into my old selfs memories of just another nerdy kid and focused on studying and gaining skills.
