[Ding! Supernatural Dating System bounded.]
[This system shall help the host as he rise to unfathomable heights.]
Hearing the familiar mechanical sound, tears almost swelled up my eyes.
After spending 3 years in this freaking new world, finally my cheat code arrived.
Having read so many novels back on Earth, I was no stranger to the word System.
When I realised I have come to an alien place, God knows how scared I was.
Others transmigrate with soul and take over a native's body while I came here directly with my original self and also my age returned to when I was 14.
Luckily, while wandering the streets aimlessly, thinking of me as some homeless person, I was taken in by a Government Orphanage. Thereby, I tried my best to blend into this world setting.
Suddenly a loud voice pulled me back to reality.
"Elandor, you are already 17 years old."
"It's time for you to join a high school."
"Once you graduate, with my connections I can help you get into some low level job."
The dean of the orphanage, who was an old man with a big beard, sighed.
His gaze towards me was filled with both awe and respect.
It's not his fault, throughout his career, he had never seen someone as crazy as Elandor working 2-3 part time jobs at same time to earn just a little.
What was even more amusing was that whenever he asked the boy: Why was he working so hard, he would get a simple reply- It's about the grind!
What the heck is grind? The old man in his sixties was full of question marks, but nevertheless, looking at Elandor's diligent hard work he didn't mind helping him settle after he was done with school.
"The high school that you are going to enroll in is the infamous- St. Louise High School located in the city of Chazgarh."
"All the paper work is done, you just need to report there."
The tired dean passed a stack of documents to me.
I guess it were my official documents that I would need while in the city.
But there was a concern in my eyes, lately, the city of Chazgarh has been in headlines because of various supernatural events reported there.
Some said they saw ghosts, some said they saw an Angel, while last week, a man was claiming on the Internet that he had seen a real succubus.
But no one had enough proof to back up their claims.
Others might not believe it, but for me, who was from a different world, How could I deny the possibility?
Heck, if even transmigration can happen, then all these things should be real too, right?
I have just awakened my system.
All I need to do is just lie low and procrastinate, do I really have to risk my life going to such a dangerous place?
Understanding the hesitation on my face, the dean chuckled.
While giving a light pat on my back, he laughed.
"That's why I told you to pay less attention to the phone. You seriously believe whatever shit that is circulated on the Internet?"
"That city is a wonderful place, it was quite lively when I visited it ten years back."
The old man seemed to be mesmerising his old times.
With this, I knew there was no room for maneuver.
"Fine, I will go and pack my stuff."
Nodding my head I can only obediently say yes.
I can't help it, apparently, the law of this country is very strict. You can't find a decent job unless you graduate.
Offenders are directly put in jail, that's why graduating from high school is a must.
"Very good, here are the daily expenses for one month, after that you will have to fend for yourself."
"The ticket is for the evening bus, farewell!"
The irony in the old man's words was self-evident, he didn't want me to work side jobs but still hoped I could fend for myself.
I can't blame him, as a dean, he had to equally spend on all the children here.
Sighs~
As expected, only….grind is real.
Without wasting my time, I went to my room and started packing all my stuff.
