[Hello Red District King]
(Speak of the devil!) Langston thought stopped for a moment
With a grin, he continued walking with that screen floating next to him.
(Do you follow mind commands?) Langston tried asking
[Yes]
(Good, at least I don't have to look crazy talking to the air) Langston sighed
(Can you tell me what you can do? And why was I placed in this new body?) Langston asked
[You were brought here to create a red light entertainment district that will be a safe haven during the apocalypses]
(Wait, what?... that's two weird things to relate, and what apocalypses?)
[In one weeks time this world will be invaded by mystical creatures from another world. When that happens, millions upon millions will die. Your job is to create a safe-haven district untouched by the apocalypse that will allow people to live somewhat of a normal, indulgent life and forget about the apocalypse for a time.]
(hmm...Okay, I understand what you need for the most part. But why was I placed in this body?) Langston thought as he arrived at the bus stop
[Your old body perishes from alcohol poisoning. You died while walking to the convenience store.]
(So that's why I can't remember anything before that I died on the way...Well fuck that's one sorry way to go out,) Langston sighed as the bus arrived, and they all got on.
(Alright, moving on from that, tell me what you can do?)
[I have multiple functions. My main ones are]
[Status: Monitors and projects the host's physical and magical abilities and magic. Then grades them in a numerical value]
[Red Light District: A panel to manage territory, buildings, income, people, sections, and many parts of your district]
[Inventory: An infinite sub-space the host can access to store all sorts of items that will be frozen in their current state to maintain them]
[Supplies: The supply store can be used to purchase items that will help maintain and improve your district]
[Summon: By gaining tickets from completing missions, the host can summon figures from all forms of reality to aid him in building his district]
(Everything seems simple enough. Can you show me my stats?)

(Tell me how these stats compare to the average adult?) Langston asked after taking a moment to look over his stats
[The average Adult male stats range from 8-12. The make a human can obtain before awakening is 20]
(Before awakening, what does that mean?)
[When your world is invaded, mana will be introduced into the world. When that happens, humans will awaken, allowing them to awaken magic and increase their physical stats almost indefinitely.]
(I see, but it says I have 1000 mana already?)
[Yes during the body chnage mana was awakened in your soul]

(Nice, I will open that later) Langston thought with a grin
(Actually, I have another thing to ask. Can I get the memorries of this body. It will make things a lot easier?)
[...Requesting Permission]

[Permission Granted]
[Merging Memories]
Before Langston could even thank the system, a cluster of memories filled his head at once/ it showed him going to elementary school and getting picked up by a man with short blonde hair and golden eyes that made him feel safe. They showed an accident with that man shielding Langston with his body. Then it showed him living with his mother and sister. He was extremely close to them until middle school, when he became quiet and reclusive. It showed how he became cold to his sister when she got a boyfriend and how he cried in his room when he found out. As the memories kept flooding his mind, Langston had to grab the pole with all his strength to stay standing. Once all the memories finished merging with his Langston, he let out a heavy breath as he wiped sweat from his forehead.
(This kid...was in love with his sister...now that is very surprising, but not at the same time)
Taking a moment to compose himself Langston was about to contiue touring the system. But before he could even move on to the next section, he felt a punch to the side of his stomach.
"Who the hell!?" Langston asked, looking to the side, only to see his annoyed sister clenching her fist
"Damn it, Lang, are you ignoring me!?" Kelly asked, pissed off
"Sorry, Kelly, I didn't notice it was you," Langston said, calming down and wearing a smile
"Whoa, she is right, he is normally cold and bruding, but look, he can apologize," spoke a girl dressed in the same fashion as Kelly, but with pale white skin and long black hair in two twin tails.
"Anyway, you said I could get some money to go out tonight," Kelly sighed, holding her hand out.
Taking out his wallet, Langston handed her fifty dollars without question.
"Just don't come home too late. I don't want mom to worry," Langston added.
"Fifty... seriously, what is wrong with you. You were never this nice?" Kelly asked with a surprised look
"... You're my sister. I should be nice to you as a brother. I'm sorry for the way I have treated you," Langston spoke with a sigh as the bus reached its stop.
Hearing that, the shocked Kelly went wide-eyed as her cheeks blushed.
"y...y-you can't just say that so casually," Kelly spoke, not knowing how to respond to that.
Grabbing her friend's hands, Kelly stormed off the bus, leaving Langston confused.
Shaking his head, Langston walked off the bus and walked towards the school entrance. As he did, a young man leaning against the wall with short black hair, pale white skin, and cold eyes walked up to him.
"What's up, Lang...you get into another argument with your sister?" the boy asked
"Not quite Damian...I apologized," Langston said casuing Damian to stop and his face to match the shock on Kelly's.
"y-you what?"
