[Ding! Host has gotten an income of 20 crystals in three days! As the requirements of one week was completed early Host unlocks a new Food Item along with their prize.]
[Host Unlocks: Cinema.]
[New Food Unlocked: Popcorn.]
I jump up in amazement slightly startling Harlow. I got a Cinema? With popcorn too? I walk around the store area and see that now in the back of the room is a door that wasn't there before, opening it up reveals a dimly lit room with a big white screen in the back, with a projector shining down.
[Ding! Host unlocked new System Store Option - Movies]
I open the system shop to check out what movies to watch.

[System Shop]
I click on the System Shop in my mind.
[System Shop:]

I want to see the Movies section
[Movies:]
- Studio Ghibli I - 20 crystals
- Marvel I - 40 crystals
- Disney I - 100 crystals
So there's three selections I can make, but only one that I can afford. What does the 'I' mean?
[ The I means you don't unlock all of the movies related to that series, you get three random movies from each copyright]
I see then, so I'd get three random studio ghibli movies if I bought it?
[Correct]
[Host can still set the prices for everything in the store]
June grinned as she planned on making the movies not super expensive but as the first entertainment cafe she could get away with relatively high prices.
[Movies:]
[Studio Ghilbi:]
-(New!) Totoro
-(New!) Nasicaä
-(New!) Porco Rosso
I decided to begin to set the prices.

-Totoro - 1 gold 5 silver
-Porco Rosso - 2 gold 5 silver
-Nasicaä - 3 gold 5 silver
I thought that I would play the movies three times a day with one in the morning one in the afternoon and one in the evening. Harlow had already paid and left so I collected the plates and put them in the kitchen making a menu to be outside advertising my movies. It was around 9 in the morning and I was on track.

-Fried Eggs and Bacon: 8 Crystals (Limit one per customer)

I planned to set the price a bit high so the richer kids in town can watch movies but I plan on turning this store into half Cafe/half Arcade in the future. Putting the new sign outside I sit down and fiddle with the games on my monitor.
Kaye's POV
I was exploring town when i happened upon a funny little store called FruitBowl Entertainment, I decided to check it out. When I walked through the door I was met with a cozy interior and a lady at the front desk seemingly busy with something. I walked up to her to ask her what this store provides.
"Exuse me?"
"Oh h-helloe there." She seemed a bit flustered.
"I would like to ask what are you selling?"
"Of course young man, we sell fun here" She then had a mysterious smile
"Fun? whats that?"
"Fun is the want to do something that is only, well, fun. We have a new movie selection today, if you have the time." She smiled at me,

"I have the day off miss, can I watch this movie? is it "Fun" ?
"Well kid, I would say its pretty fun, something you've never seen in the world..." She said with another mysterious smile.
I was enraptured I wanted to see this movie to find out what fun it was, when the lady said it costs a gold and some silvers to watch i gave her the money and she showed me to the spot where i would be sitting, but then she asked me another question.
"Young man would you like to enhance your movie watching experience?
"How so?"
"Well for the price of a couple of gold I can get you a big box of Popcorn signiture snack in movies."
"Of course I want to try 'Popcorn' " and I handed her three golds and in return I got a round box with fluffy looking food inside. Taking a bite I find the food to be light crunchy and a little salty and I smile a lot. Sitting down to watch the movie.
June's POV
I watch as the kid sits down and begins enjoying the popcorn in his lap, the kid seems young but is wearing fancy clothes but is trying to be polite, but seeing that smile I think is better then fake politeness to begin with. As the movie begin I watch as he stares at the screen taking bites of popcorn and in totally immersed. and soon I sat down occationally looking up at his reactions. I chuckle a bit when he laughs in the movie, as he isn't acting all noble and is acting like a true kid like he should be. Soon the movie ends and he walks out of the Cinema and back to the counter.
"Wow miss that was an amzing experiance!"
"Yep thats what fun is, an fun experiance you seemed to have there kid"
The kid smiled again.
"Thank you for the experience miss...?"
"My name is June, or Miss Anabelle if you'd like, and what is your name?
"I'm Kaye, Kaye Lawrence of the Lawrence Merchant Company! I loved your store can I come back tomorrow?"
"Of course you can, and here's a secret" I lean down to whisper to Kaye. "Its more fun with friends"
"Hehe Sure miss I'll bring my friends to visit too!"
"Bye Kaye!"
"Bye Miss!"
Kaye then ran off out the door and down the street. I watched his back as he disapeared, and soon it was afternoon at the store. people occationally came in but not a lot of people stayed behind only a couple stayed for coffee and I got to chat a bit with, and most of them just went on their way and never visited again, even though i saw them walk by. Though sometimes kids would stop by and wave to me through the window. I would wave back, slowly getting used to being in this city.

Where did I wake up?
A pretty standard story about a man that gets transferred to a new world, and gains a system to help him survive. This is pretty close to the first draft of this story, so there will be grammar mistakes until I get down to fixing them. Synopsis, genre and tags will also change as I get more writing done. I will try to release two to three short chapters a week. I don't own the cover image; it is just something I found online.

The Magitons
Book 3 of the Universe Series This novel continues the adventure from the previous novel, Ocean of Dreams. Each novel is meant to stand alone. Widhbo ( pronounced "wee bow") is a MC who will be in each of the six novels in the main series. The starship Sora had been hurtling through space using its FTL propulsion system toward the Dezba star system for over a decade since leaving the planet Beldora of the Hellsaxe system. The Sora had crash landed on Beldora over a century earlier carrying a couple of aliens from another dimension. The ship came from the Borrugal Realm, a band world associated with what was known as the Tor Galaxy, what we call the Milky Way. Human life on Beldora was never the same. Under the influence of the alien known as Widhbo, Beldora was catapulted from the steam age to the space age. The majority of the scientific advances on Beldora were attributed to the leadership of a brilliant man, Jejliard Castonea, who was secretly manipulated by the alien, Widhbo. When rapid advances in technology inadvertently led to a nuclear war, Jejliard decided to evacuate his family, friends and co-workers on the Sora. The plan was to find a new habitable planet and rebuild civilization until they could safely return home. Much to his despair, Jejliard’s family and friends opted to stay on Beldora to ride out the war underground. Even the other alien, Gengor, stayed behind. Borrowing technology stored in the archives of the Sora, Widhbo managed to transfer the personalities of those staying on the planet into digital storage units known as magitons which could survive indefinitely in cold, sterile space. Living crew members who elected to stay on board the Sora were also uploaded to ensure immortality for everyone in case their life support systems failed en route. Widhbo sought to design a cyber paradise for everyone inside their virtual worlds, but things never go as planned where Widhbo is concerned.
