He wondered about the cars and of course wanted an answer, so he spoke to the driver for the first time. "Um, why are all the cars driving without a driver?"

"Young Master Jake you can call me Ben and to your question, in the tunnels you don't have to drive your car, you just specify your destination and you will be brought there automatically."

"That sounds cool, thanks Ben."

They drove on and on towards the city center, but at one point they turned right rather than going straight into the city center. Jake thought to himself, but he didn't want to point it out to Ben, because he's probably more familiar with the city. They drove for another five minutes and Jake noticed that the cars he could see were getting fewer and fewer.

Shortly afterwards he noticed how it was going uphill and then he could see the light at the end of the tunnel. The first thing Jake saw outside the tunnel was a large, white wall made of huge blocks of stone. The wall was nicely decorated on the outside with all sorts of figures and weapons and, as Ben informed him, it was also intended to shield the curious glances of citizens today.

The guards waved them through the gate and so they drove into the quarter where the rich and low nobles live. It was a completely different sight for Jake than before, because you could see that the lots on which the huge mansions stood were huge. Each house had a large front yard with a luxurious driveway that is supposed to give an insight into the wealth of the owner.

Jake was amazed by the sight of the expensive mansions and watched them as he drove past them. They drove through the villa district for a long time until they stopped at a house that overshadowed all the others. From the outside it looked old, but very elegant and stylish. They drove to the front door and got out there.

Jake was about to open the car door when someone opened it from the outside. "Young Master Jake welcome back," a voice surprised him. It was the Whitton family butler. The butler took the luggage out of the trunk and led Jake into the mansion. He had only just got to know luxury, but his apartment couldn't even be compared to the entrance of this house.

The house was huge, and although it was made from solid blocks of stone, the interior was surprisingly modern. There was white furniture everywhere and although there was also a lot of gold decoration, probably from another century, the furnishings harmonized perfectly and there was a cozy feeling with Jake.

They went on to the living room and this was also furnished with expensive furniture. "The whole house was exclusively furnished by a designer to suit her mother's taste," the butler told him. Jake thought the house looked very nice too.

The butler continued to tour the house. And after a long time Jake went finally to his room. He was tired from the whole trip and therefore went to sleep early after completing his Daily Quest.

As he tried to fall asleep, he had to think about all the day's events. It was not easy for him to survive without his parents and now that he is in a different body this situation has still not changed. The only difference is that he has a system with which he can get stronger, but first he has to awaken his ability, but if he awakens a weak one his dream of getting strong and becoming a fighter is over anyway.

And while he was about to fall asleep he called up his status window again to look at his stats again.

The next day Jake woke up from his dreams of the butler and therefore had to give up his cozy bed, otherwise he would have missed breakfast. Jake enjoyed his scrambled eggs, freshly made by the chef. "That's really delicious," Jake muttered to himself with his mouth full.

Just as he was finishing his delicious breakfast, the pleasant sound of the bell rang in the hallway and the butler opened the front door.

Meanwhile, Jake made himself comfortable in the living room and was about to turn on the TV when he was tapped on the shoulder.

"Hmm yeah what is it?" Jake asked without turning around. "Little Jake, it's Aunt Jennie. You've been growing a lot. Let me take a look at you. "Jake was completely overwhelmed by her at first and therefore just stood there. She seemed to know him, only he didn't know her, which made him a bit uncomfortable.

"Ah, you probably don't recognize me at all. again "Jake nodded" It doesn't matter, since we last saw each other when you were a little kid. But now you've grown into such a handsome boy. But it doesn't matter, that's not why I'm here today. "Jake didn't know why she should be here at all, except to visit a long not seen family member.

You have to go to the opposite couch from Jake and turn off your own yellow fur coat. A green top came out from underneath. For the first time, Jake could really appreciate his self-proclaimed aunt. She was a bit older, but you could still see her elegancy and vanity.

The butler offered them a few cookies and they helped themselves. Pretty tasty for a couple of cookies, Jake thought. "To get back to my point." Aunt Jennie started the conversation again.

"Jake, you have recently been fifteen years old and can thus awaken your ability. I would therefore like to make you an offer. I was friends with your parents for a long time, so I want to ..."
