Chapter 3 Greed
I woke up. I was lying in a bed trying to get used to the blinding lights of the room. Then I heard voices. 𝑓𝗿𝐞𝘦𝘄e𝘣n𝘰𝘷eƖ.c𝘰𝗺
"Congratulations Miss! He's Awakened his elemental affinity.
"Yes, But awakening their affinity doesn't result in them passing out I believe."
Just then the voice of the man replied to the woman.
"That is when the awakened affinity grade is not high but this boy managed to awaken his ice affinity to a high level from the start!"
Hearing his answer, the woman replied in an excited voice.
"Does that mean the government will provide extra funding for the orphanage?"
At this I became confused.
'Wait? orphanage?'
The man replied to her question.
"Well yes, And because his affinity grade is high there is also a high chance that the government will also provide his tuition in one of the best academies in the world. Because of the war, the government is trying to get as many talents on their side as quickly as possible so I can confirm that th-Oh he's awake"
I tried to move my body upwards but found myself unable to do so, As I was figuring out what was happening the male said.
"Woah Woah Kiddo don't wake up just yet your body currently needs all the rest it can get."
He said while puncturing my shoulder with a syringe.
Immediately I felt lethargic and was able to quickly conjure up the identity of the liquid in the syringe. It was a sedative and a very powerful sedative at that.
I quickly fell asleep.

Next Day:
I was discharged from the hospital and was on my way back to the orphanage with Miss Penny, The orphan manager. Who's eyes were shining like bright dollar signs. We were going to the train station. After walking for about half an hour or so we reached the train station
'Holy shit. This is a train station?
I knew from this moment that this world was very very advanced. Why? Because the 'Trains'
we're floating behemoths. As I was surprised by how advanced this world was compared to my previous world. I heard Miss Penny's voice.
"Alan wait here until I get the tickets."
I just sat on a bench while she went away to get tickets. And thought to myself.
'Okay this is your second chance at life, By the words of the doctor from before this world is probably A fantasy type of world"
I believed that thought because I had never seen a doctor spew out bullshit like high elemental affinity in my old world. Upon my Realization, I instantly became very excited
'Wait if this is a fantasy world then... this should work right? "
Taking a huge breath to contain my excitement I yelled in my mind.
'Status!'
Just then a Blue window screen materialized
in front of me. I could barely hold my excitement in check.
'Ooohhh!! IT EXISTS IT EXISTS! WOOHOO!'
I immediately called down and checked my stays screen

I was immediately satisfied but also felt familiar with the status screen. It reminded me of the way the author would show status screens in 'The Ultimate Sin' but I brushed it off because it was just a status screen and that many could be similar. Then I checked my status screen and found myself to be E+ Ranked borderline D- Rank. I didn't know if this was strong in this world but I think it was a feat worth praising that a fourteen-year-old was this strong. Anyways whilst I was checking my status screen Miss Penny came and I went with her to the train. Upon entering the train I was once again surprised by how advanced it was.
'Woah This is cool. '
I followed Miss Penny to our seats. The moment I sat on my seat I almost let out a moan due to how comfy it was. I felt like I was on a cloud damn it!.
As I was enjoying the comfortable seat the train flew off and we started to go to our next station. As we were flying off to our destination I saw a huge building g that pierced into the clouds. My reaction to it?
It was Horror as I 'Realized' what world I was transported into.
