CHAPTER 3
"STARTING A NEW LIFE"
Jake now known as Rexville was still unconscious on the surface but very much awake in his subconscious floating in an eerie darkness, then he saw a light ahead and he flew towards it, He was surprised 😯 to see that it was the purple cat 🐈 that led it to the summoning circle in his original world "EARTH".
Hello there Jake, or should I say "Rexville" said the Cat; Woah you can talk!! Rexville exclaimed, the Cat went on speaking: My name is Gerard, and I am but a humble messenger of Lady Veradis, Who's Veradis; said Rexville. GERARD: She is a most prestigious and generous goddess who've granted you a chance at greatness, one which would have been utterly unattainable in your previous life.
What the..., I didn't ask to be here 'said Rexville; oh no no no, you are most mistaken there young one, have you forgotten what you said; "Rexville reminisces in his lamentation to a supposed god or goddess in his past life", oh that's right I did say that, but I didn't think I'd be brought here against my will 'said Rexville, GERARD: Silly boy, then why'd you chase me that far and enter willingly into the circle; Rexville looked away uttering no comment, Gerard continued: my lady killed two birds with a stone by granting you an opportunity and giving life to the son of her dear followers, even if his original soul couldn't be restored and had to be replaced by yours, but nevertheless Lady Veradis in her generosity granted you something for your troubles,
REXVILLE: What is it, what'd I receive
GERARD: You have been granted a system, one that can increase your potential for any job you choose by a thousand fold.
Lady Veradis last words to you are "Do well to make your life better and fulfill your goal of becoming the greatest in the world at what you do AND be an obedient and loving son to your new family, Enjoy this new world AERTHOS". And so Rexville's new life began.
Shortly after his system appeared, he was still in his subconscious
On the VR screen in front of him that only he can see it displayed "Choose a Job" it showed a multiple selection of profession such as plumber, lawyer, soldier, wrestler, chef, electrician, marine biologist etc. But there was only one job Rexville had in his mind his entire life, and so he chose FOOTBALLER. Then, a menu appeared asking him to choose a position, CF, ST, AMF, CDM, CM, LB, RB, CB, LW, RW, etc. He chose LW meaning the Left Wingers position, then he went on to chose other qualities as being adept at both right and left foot 👣, Adaptability to still play other attacking positions, then system asked to choose a skill for free, many options appeared to him then he saw an eye catching one that made his eyes lit up and Rexville being an anime fan chose the Spatial Awareness skill of the MC in the soccer anime "Blue Lock" 🔵 🔒
There was a lottery option in the system, but it was locked. It showed "Can only be accessible once all stats are at or above 25"
Then, the system popped up a message for selecting a job and good luck on your journey. Here's your beginning Stats"

"Now this is neat!, Going into a new life with a cheat system, hahaha he laughed, there's nothing better than this" Then he started to dissipate as his soul slowly integrated with his new body.
Gorman laid his son on the King sized bed in his Bedroom, The master bedroom of the Cartón household was simple yet extravagant as it contained cases, paintings, a crystal stone chandelier at the center of the room, a walk in closet with assorted clothes, dress, accessories,belts and bags for the Mistress and the Master, the whole bedroom was covered in marble and decorated with some semi-precious stones like Topaz, Emerald, Aquamarine etc.
Gorman gazed upon his son, now alive and well, Holding his fist towards his Chin and regretting his actions, because the night Neville died Gorman had a huge fight against his second son concerning his pursuit in the sport "FOOTBALL".
You see the Cartón Family is a generation of Business men, They had their hands in many industrial areas such as Crude Oil and it's refining, Solar energy, Real estate and technological advancement infrastructure, so when their son wanted to abandon it all to pursue his love of football, it sounded insane to Gorman and infuriated him to the point he said some nasty things to Rexville which made him leave the house in rage, only to be killed in a Car accident that left Gorman devastated as he thought it was his fault his child died, But now seeing him alive made him happy beyond measures that he didn't mind his lost lifespan.
Rexville laid on the bed still unconscious with his Bright blonde nearly yellow 🟡 hair, he has red eyes just like his Mom, an average 15 year old body build, not the type you'd be expecting from a great sportsman aspirant.
Veronica came barging in the bedroom, with tears in her eyes and her constant panting because she ran all the way here, she slowly approached Rexville, seeing him breathing she closed her eyes as more tears came rolling down as she heaved a sigh of relief 😮💨. VERONICA: my baby boy is alive. Oh, thank the goddess Veradis; she then hugged her husband from behin, wrapping her arms around his neck where he sat on a stool by the bedside. Thank you my love for making that sacrifice to bring our son back she whispered audibly, Gorman held her hands and said; it's the father's duty to protect his family no matter the cost, and they both stayed there in silence.
Knock! Knock!, Come in said Gorman as Leah, Rexville's personal maid and assistant a girl of 23 years with silky long black hair and coal black eyes and a good body figure wearing a maids attire came in with soup 🍲, rice porridge and water for young master Rexville.
Veronica said to Leah, "You can go. Don't worry. I'll feed him myself,
But madame Leah replied, Veronica raised her right hand as in to stop Leah from speaking then she said "please Leah just this once let me feed my son" Leah surrendered, ok ma she said, I'll take my leave 'said Leah as she bowed lightly the excused herself from the room
Rexville had been recuperating for 5 days straight before finally regaining consciousness, waking up as sunlight beamed on his face making his pale skin and red eye pupils sparkle even more in the light, he was in his own room still very weak, well who wouldn't be after dying and being resurrected through transmigration, he slowly sat up on his bed as he analyzed his surroundings, Neville was expecting and old fantasy type environment but his room was more advanced than the one in his previous life, it had frame pictures of some famous musicians, the ones he actually knew which was astonishing to him, there were LED light decoration an empty trophy case a replica of the prestigious Balon d'or and some nice aesthetics befitting a teenage boy, he checked around even more then notice a screen on his bedframe, he clicked it on and it asked to scan his retina, he abided and did so the an AI voice said "Welcome Young Master Rexville, how may I assist you today", Rexville remembered from the downloaded memory of the previous owner of his body that this is a very sophisticated AI program called "MARIA" it assisted them in daily activities making living way easier than for the commoner household
Rexville asked: MARIA could you give me a rundown of all general knowledge of this world, how it operate and the the Hierarchy system and while you're at it get me a warm milk, Okay sir said the AI, then a drone brought a glass of warm milk to him, Rexville muttered "so this is what being frickin wealthy is like".
After gaining insight about this world called AERTHOS Rexville found out it's a near copy but parallel world when compared to earth, this world is just 52 years into the future, but it has very similar features just named slightly different, take for example the continent; in his former world there were 7 continent namely; North America, South America, Africa, Asia, Europe, Australia and Antarctica
But In this world "AERTHOS" the 7 continent were called North Amerigo, South Amerigo, Swaziland, Arcasia, Great Plains, Oceania and Iceland, and so the names of the countries and major locations were altered but still maintained the generality of his old world.
Rexville and his family resided in a country called Portgera in the continent of Great Plains.
MARIA was not only integrated in Rexville's bedroom but also the whole mansion, Call Leah for me,' Rexville said to the AI, "okay" it replied
While attending to her chores, Leah got a voice message from MARIA through a phone like device that's hanging by a strap on her waist, (every personal assistant/maid to any member of the Cartón household has that device for easy communication with their direct master/mistress).
MARIA told Leah that Rexville has awakened and is requesting her presence now, Leah felt a joy as she heard that her young master had awakened from his short coma, she carefully laid down the duster in her hands as she went to answer Rexville's call.
Knock! Knock!, Come in said Rexville, (door opens) 'oh young master we were so worried especially your parents, it good news that you're awake 'said Leah as her eyes glimmered looking upon Rexville sitting upright on his bed, Rexville answered awkwardly "oh th-thanks Leah for your concern but I'm really hungry, could you get me something to eat, and while you're at it notify my parents", 'yes sir I'll do so at once Leah replied and rushed at of the room. Whew! Rexville sighed, then he looked around his room once more and muttered, "So this is my life now." I guess my immediate goal now is to get back to 100% health before anything else.
Gorman, Veronica and Felicity came to see Rexville upon receiving news that he's awake, they came into the room, meeting Leah spoon-feeding her young master, Veronica rushed to hug him and started sobbing 😭 uncontrollably, thank goodness, "oh thank the goddess for that your hale and healthy now I was so worried and restless but now I feel at ease", Rexville hugged his mother back, "sorry 😞 for worrying you mum, it's okay now I'm way better". Wow big bro, you're the first person I've ever met to come back from the dead, at least now mom can have some much relaxing rest" 'Felicity teased', silly girl Rexville said as he tossed a pillow to her face. Rexville saw his father in the back with an expression that showed he's hesitating to speak, "Wassup dad he said, "oh son, well uh i um, I'm really happy seeing you well and I want to say I'm deeply sorry for those hurtful words that put you in this condition also, please find it in your heart to forgive your father, (a brief moment of silence 🤐), Reyville: what's there to forgive, you're the one who sacrificed so much to bring me back 'he said with a gloomy expression with is head down;, plus it's not as If I'm blameless, I was also being insensitive with the way I spoke to you, I mean you were just looking out for the family name and I was pushing my selfishness....; it was not selfishness, I believe every child has a right to dream and chase it, no one not even your parents should dictate your future, he yelled With a serious face while interrupting Rexville, you know son I was once like you, I had a passion for stories, my dream was to be a revered novelist worldwide, but my father your grandfather repressed all my aspirations and I didn't put up a fight and followed the Cartón way but I felt really miserable giving it all up, I don't want you to ever feel that way, so hear me out, I Micheal Gorman Cartón wholeheartedly support you my son on every endeavor you wish to pursue, of course you can't sully the Cartón name, you must be the best at what you do;. Rexville: Hmph, who do you think you're talking to "he said with a smirk" I, Neville Princeton Cartón vow to become the GREATEST FOOTBALLER this world has ever known "he said with a face full of conviction". With a hearty laugh HAHAHA, Attaboy, that's my son Make your name revered by the whole world, Rexville smiled and thought to himself "this feels like the start of a legend, but I'm still far away from reaching the top, luckily I have a system to help me make it big, quick". Clap! Clap! 👏
OHKAY, now that we know he's alive and well let's give him some space to finish his meal and recuperate fully 'said Felicity, yes yes, Dear we'll see you later, in the mean time rest well 'said Veronica as she gave a kiss 😘 on Rexville's forehead, then they all left his room. Rexville thought, "I'm surrounded by good and loving people, I can't let down their expectations especially now I've boasted so much", hehehe 'he chuckled'. My new life starts right now.
