20 Trying to get by (1/2)

”Sonny, We'd like your name, age, address and a phone number in which we could contact your guardians.”

”Sorry, officer. But I don't have any guardians, I'm an orphan. I came to tokyo for a job and better life. My name is Axel, age 15.”

After a conversation with an older police officer, Axel was released from the police station. With a long sigh, Axel walked away as he said, ”System, where am I? And don't just say nothing or that I'm in 'Tokyo, Japan', I mean, am I in my old world?”

The system wasted no time as it said, [No, your not in your original world.]

Wryly smiling, Axel accepted that he wouldn't get a proper answer and decided to give up.

Axel walked around until he came across a couple benches. Sitting down, Axel began thinkin about his current situation. He thought, 'Okay, I need to quickly gain shelter, clothing and food. Clothing is good for now, so thats that one crossed off. Food is good, for now at least. The only one left is… shelter.'

A couple minutes later, Axel stood up and left. He walked up to people and asked if they could point him to the nearest rental agency. After a couple failed attempts, an old couple offered to walk him to the closest one.

Axel thanked them before walking inside. After awhile, Axel came out with a wry smile as he was reminded that he currently had no money, well, no money from this world or country.

Luckily, he asked the rental agent if there was a pawn shop near by. While it was a ways away, he still decided to stop by.

While walking, Axel decided to pull up his stats. He said, ”System, show me my status.”

Nodding to himself, Axel quickly closed the status screen, only to crash into someone a second later.

Axel rubbed his head from the collision before looking at the person in front of him. A suave old man wearing a pink shirt and long white jeans stood in front of him.

Axel quickly bowed his head and said, ”Sorry! I wasn't paying attention to where I was going.”

The old man looked at Axel and shrugged his shoulders. He said, ”Don't worry, kid. Just pay attention to where your walking.” And with that said, the old man continued on his way.

Axel thought to himself that the old man was pretty cool before setting on his way again. With the help of asking directions, Axel had finally made it to the shop.
