"Ahhh," Jack opened his eyes from his good sleep.
The light was shining from the windows, and sounds of birds were everywhere, it was going to be a good day today.
Jack yawned like he was already used to living in this world, he looked outside and saw the blue sky and clouds and smiled, he didn't know why but this put him in a good mood. He was looking out in the windows seeing this wilted and withered greenery didn't bother him anymore.
This was a very good skill Jack developed from his past life, he could adapt very well and be comfortable in many places.
He turned around and took his clothes that were just lying there from last night.
But once he looked into the sky...
"AGGHH"
BANG!!
Jack almost pissed himself from the fright, he got so scared after looking up in the air he fell out of his bed.
"What the fuck is this!!!" Jack took a fighting stance like he was waiting for some battle, this was his habit when he was in the military, after looking that he didn't need to fight anyone he calmed down and looked up again,
There was a blue screen on the air just being there, it was saying words.
--

"Holy crap that scared me" Jack Got up from the ground and looked at the words with some caution.
"Hel... Hello??" He waved his hand to the prompt.
"Fuck, just what is this thing." He was sweating right now, he didn't want to touch it but Jack didn't have any choice now.
"Okay, it looks like a holographic screen, is this some kind of simulation??? AM I IN THE SIMULATION??" Jack's critical mind immediately started to think about nonsense like this.
"No, calm down, let's first see if it's a holograph" Jack shook his head and took a deep breath he looked at the clothes nearby and took out a shirt, he put the shirt on his hand, if this thing was hot he would at least feel something and not burn his hand immediately.
He waved his hand around and got ready to check this holographic prompt.
"Okay, Okay... i have done much more dangerous things, this isn't going to be the top one... " He calmed himself down and...
WHOOOSH!
Jack immediately took his hand back.
"Huh... it's not dangerous" He was sweating all over, Jack was very cautious, and in this unknown world that trait of his resurfaced with even more power, he thought everything would attack him.
"Okay if it's not dangerous then what is it..." Jack waved his hand in the hologram even more.
But nothing happened...
10 Minutes Later.
After trying for 10 minutes nothing worked on this thing... Jack was already doubting if he was hallucinating right now.
"FUCK JUST DO SOMETHING!!! OPEN CLOSE!!! JUST SOM---" Jack was about to lash out but Suddenly!! Prompt blinked for a moment.
"What... Open... Close..." Jack repeated what he said before.
Prompt blinked.
"I See, it's voice-activated, Open!"
Prompt Opened.
"Close"
Prompt Closed.
"Ahmmm... Open Windows!!! Show me anything!" Jack tried to do a few things but nothing worked.
In the end, he gave up and decided to take a walk.
After his teenage years and that moment he never liked being at home that much, he liked to take a breather once in a while or he would feel suffocated in a closed space like his home or this castle.

Jack was sitting in the cafe looking out towards cobblestone roads, he was wearing a traditional English outfit, with a brown leather jacket, currently, he was reading a newspaper.
"Looks like that coins were actual currency and not some trash in my pocket, but why were they so broken..." Jack remembered finding a few bent coins in his pockets after he decided to change into these clothes.
They were extremely bent and dirty like someone ran over them with an enormous car, he fixed them as much as he could but still, it was very weird.
"Hey, you know what, mate? Workers out there are up and leaving their jobs, yeah? It's happening all around. Seems like they've had enough, you know? Fed up with the whole thing, they are. Can't blame 'em really. Tough times for the working folks, I reckon."
"Yeah, it's crazy. But I get it, you know? They don't get much money for working round the clock, day and night."
"Yeah, especially the women i tell ya..."
Jack was listening to the people talking around him, he remembered this moment in history, people were so fed up with low wages women made a strick and protested in July, he just didn't know it wasn't only women who protested against this...
He got up and paid his bill, and after that, he left the shop.
Jack was going towards his workstation.

Whitehall Place in Westminster, London.
Jack was standing in front of a big building, this building had more Italian style than how buildings were in Victorian London, he noticed many different carvings of animals and historical moments on the building here.
there were ornate Facades and intricate detailing.
"Okay... i am not Jack from now, i am Jack Edmund Reid... a famous Detective..." Jack touched the door handle but...
"AAHH FUCK MAN!!!, I am so scared..." Jack got flustered and took his hand off, he was going to live a life that he didn't even know before, he never expected this to be this hard...
"You know what, my act could deceive the president in the past, these people will never be able to find me out... so what do I need to worry... CRAP I AM WORRIED!!!" Jack simply went for it and opened the door.
Creak!!
The door opened and Jack went inside of the building.
"Good Evene---" Jack nervously waved his hand but...
BANG!!
Before he finished his sentence he got hit with a stack of papers.
But then everything stopped, he took the papers from his face and looked in front.
He saw people looking at him with some emotions...
"Oh blimey, he's back! Good Lord, I can't believe it!"
"By Jove, where on earth have you been, Reid? Goodness, gracious!"
"Quick, let's get him to the sheriff's office right away! We can't waste a moment!"
People Literally. came towards him with crying and happy faces, Jack was flustered for a moment, before this he was extremely nervous going inside Ofenthen a building he has never been to before, he almost decided to scratch everything.
But then he decided to take the risk and go in as Edmund Reid...
New Edmund Reid.
And now when he saw the happy faces of these people he thought this decision was right... and he simply needed to take the job as he was doing in his past life.
