I am the Entertainment Tycoon-Chapter 1 Arrival
Theo woke up feeling sore all over his body.
'Wait a minute… sore all over my body? What body? Didn't I die?' he thought as he was opened his eyes.
Theo saw that he was lying on a couch, a super old couch by the way. He was alone in what he presumed to be one of the oldest apartments he ever saw.
But somehow the apartment was neat and clean. Making him think that although the owner of the apartment was poor he still was a decent person.
As Theo was situating himself, he heard a voice inside his head.
[Binding…]
[10%] 𝗳𝘳𝐞e𝙬𝙚𝚋𝗻𝚘𝚟𝗲l.𝑐𝑜m
[40%]
[84%]
[Binding successful!]
[Congratulations host for binding the Company Management System granted by the Universe Laws according to the karma that the host accumulated in your previous life]
'What? System? Laws? Karma?' he thought.
Theo was feeling so confused with all the things that were happening successively that it passed around 10 minutes and he still didn't have an answer from the so-called system.
'Let me think through this. First, I died in the hospital. Second, I woke up and I think I was reborn. Third, I received a system from the Universe Laws, whatever that means, because of the karma that I had? Karma… if I remember well, it is what we receive when we go according to the universe, well that was my definition.' Theo thought.
[Yes, host. Everything you said is true.]
'What?? You can hear my thoughts?'
[Yes, I am connected to your mind after all.]
'I guess I can accept that…'
Theo read some system novels before so he had some knowledge of systems but he didn't remember everything.
'System, how did I have karma to be reborn when I was just a normal person?'
[Host, after your request for the couple to take care of your orphanage made them fund several orphanages saving thousands and thousands of children of starvation and dying young]
That made his eyes tear up knowing that he saved the children. Theo had to take some time to compose himself with all the emotions he was feeling.
When he was feeling better, Theo asked the system.
'System, what are the Universe Laws?'
[Host, the Universe Laws are $%#%¨%$]
He didn't understand anything so he waited for the system for an explanation why.
[Host, you don't understand because your existence isn't made for knowing this kind of information. But in a simplified explanation the Universe Laws oversee the myriad of universes and govern it]
Theo somewhat understood what the system said when he stopped and his eyes went wide with a realization.
'Wait a minute… UniverseS? Does that have more than one universe? So, the multiverse is real??' he asked in a hurry.
[Yes, the multiverse is real. The host is in a different universe]
[Memories of the predecessor available for merging.]
[Do you wish to merge? YES OR NO]
[WARNING! The merging will cause immense pain. Careful to proceed]
'Wow I was so self-absorbed that I forgot that I was in a different body'
Theo stood up to look at himself, he saw he was 1,78m and very thin. He was only skin and bones. He had long grey hair that seemed like straw. He searched for a mirror to look at his face and he found it in the corner of the room. 𝒇𝑟e𝙚𝑤𝙚𝐛𝗻𝐨ν𝚎𝘭.c𝐨m
He walked to it, still feeling pain all over his body, and he saw himself, and damn he was horrible. His whole body and face screamed malnutrition.
'I think my predecessor was having a hard life.'
His face was somewhat handsome but the lack of nutrition made him look ugly. He sighed and came to the couch wanting to know how the situation came to this degree.
'System, merge the memories' Theo said in his head as he braced for the pain.
For a moment he didn't feel anything but suddenly the pain came to his head and it was not anything that he ever felt.
"Aarrrghhhhhh" he screamed.
He fought the pain for a minute until it subsided and he was left panting for air on the couch.
"Oh my… that was worse than I imagined... But at least I know how the predecessor became so miserable" Theo signed.
From the memories, he received his name in this life was Theodore but with a different last name, Theodore Gray. He was at the same age he died in his previous life, 18 years old. And in this life too he was an orphan but the difference was that in this life he had a younger sister that was 16yo and her name was Aurora Gray.
And a curious fact was that Aurora wasn't his blood-related sister, their parents adopted her when she was 5yo but they loved her even more.
Their parents died four years ago when he was 14yo.
And since then, He has been working to provide for his sister since the heritage that their parent left wasn't much and they didn't have any close relatives so Theo worked all day.
His predecessor didn't go well in school but still managed to reach the last year of high school.
But today was the last straw for him. He was fired from his job and wasn't paid for the month. When he came back home knowing that his sister would starve, he had a heart attack realizing that.
And it was then that Theo's soul crossed over and occupied his body.
Theo signed as he thought.
'I may not be you but I promise to never let Aurora starve and make her live the life of a princess.'
Theo suddenly felt like the last will of his predecessor left him as he felt relieved that his sister was going to be ok.
