One last one before going on hiatus for a month(good quality)
ENJOY!
----------
I should probably figure out my powers later and focus on how to get a solid income and to get to a safe place and then I can focus properly on the next step. Most of the time, mc's try out their new powers without having a solid place in society, that can't be taken away easily. I do NOT want to play with my second chance at life.
An option towards getting a little spare change would be to act homeless but obviously it's just a short time solution and not to mention, I wouldn't be surprised if there were a lot of other people who didn't have houses either.
I'll just figure it out as I go, unluckily the former host didn't have a family and survived by robbing shops n stuff. He was a pure idiot and left me in a peculiar situation. Now I have to rise to wealth in under-handed methods.
Anyway, the first thing I did was try and map out Gotham a bit more, I could beat people up and steal their money.
I was walking around the city, mostly just looking around and memorising it. If I was gonna live here then I might as well get to know it. I didn't have the best memory but I could recall a few things and a few back alleys and dead ends.
As I wandered through the streets, I began to notice how increasingly darker it had become. Not wanting to stay up too late and get killed by the multiple villains that run the place I began to try and recall where the original person of this body lived.
I was deeply disappointed by the result of my search It turns out the kid just slept where he felt it was warm and sometimes he didn't even sleep.
I nearly wanted to cry, but I couldn't be caught lacking, so I steeled my resolve and tried to use the same strategy as the kid.
I began to wander around, this time for a different reason. I saw a light coming out of an pub, it peaked my interest, even though there would be smelly old drunk men there, it wasn't like they were gonna kill a fourteen year old kid for entering.
I wouldn't be there for long just wanted to peak inside and definitely didn't want to rob a bunch of innocent drunk men.
I walk up to the place and twist the knob, there must have been some kind of silencing seal inside the fucking place because as soon as my hand pushed the door handle, the noise coming out could silence the wailing of a tiny infant.
I see a couple of men on a table eating some meat and drinking what seemed to be beer. The typical thing you would stereo-typically see, where the protagonist goes inside and acts weak but then beats up all the men who are violent towards children.
I did believe that adults could be sensible and weren't just idiots when they got drunk, even though I didn't think they would kill me, it wouldn't hurt to be a little cautious. It's like checking the fridge the second time to see if it's really empty.
Surprisingly a few women were actually present inside this bar and they seemed a bit out of control, if you didn't understand what I mean then one word to describe them would be "freaky".
Maybe I could go up to the women and play spot the pedophile.
The thought lingered in my head before I got right back on business. The women were not of concern. I see a couple of dollars just being wasted and thrown everywhere.
Taking the opportunity, I swiftly swipe any dollar I can find on the floor. They were 10 dollar bills and 1 dollar bills. Not too much, but any little help doesn't it?Not technically robbing them if they don't want the money.
Later when I practise using Sukuna's powers, I will be able to kill them and rob them purely because it is Gotham. But I shouldn't go on a rampage and let the Dark Knight know of my activities. I'm sure I could get away with killing middle class individuals without the intervention of batman.
Nevertheless, the pub turned out to be a gold mine, I managed to gather roughly $950.
This wasn't just money off the floor, I did snatch around ten wallets, all in all I hit another jackpot.
I could probably buy some nice clothes and then apply for a job, but the application requirement might be a bit too much for a little kid like me to handle. The smarter thing would be to buy a phone and work out the rest from there.
The more solid solution would be to get a job but it was too complicated, I didn't have the required documents that jobs needed.
I can worry about that tomorrow, the priority of today was surviving and finding a place to sleep. Sometimes I wished I moved out of my parents house beforehand, I could have gotten some real life experience but my lazy ass didn't even want to try.
When I was mapping out the local area, I had managed to see a hotel which was in bad shape. And hopefully had really low prices. I had money and wasn't gonna be afraid to use it.
I quickly mapped out the direction from my memory, it took a few tries but in the end I was able to get to it. I would have to work on my memory because any information I get could be me getting one step closer to success and living the dream life.
"Welcome to the shard hotel" said the voice of a young man, I quickly scanned the room looking for where the voice came from.
I quickly spotted his ass at a reception table which wasn't dirty but wasn't exactly dirty.
We had a quick conversation and I quickly paid $100 bucks for 4 nights, which if I say is an insanely good deal. I wasn't sure if I would get kicked out for haggling so I just went with it, not like I was upset with the deal.
I quickly grabbed the keys from him and ran to my room, I didn't even spare a glance at any of the shitty furniture except from one heavenly thing, a fucking bed.
Whether my day had been eventful was really up to what kind of person you were, but for me it had just been really annoying and painful.
I didn't think about my day anymore and just dozed into sleep.
-------------
I quickly woke up and went to see where the bathroom was. I was quickly assaulted by the terrible smell of piss and shit. It wasn't strong but it was like a faint smell that you couldn't smell but kind of sense. It was weird and definitely made me unsettled about entering the toilet again.
I turn my head towards the mirror and see myself again, I grin and do a few poses to flex how I look now. It still didn't quite feel like I looked like Megumi so it was still a bit weird for me to look in the mirror and see someone from my favourite manga series.
I would have spent a lot more time in the bathroom if it wasn't for that disgusting smell. However, I did have more pressing matters, I had $850 and I wasn't going to steal again today simply because I didn't feel like it.
I wanted to get a phone so that I could get money, maybe invest in bitcoin a little early.

Another useless chapter but this time, he's making progress inside the world.
I want him to be self sustainable first before getting op and that shit
