《The Software Detective》9. Who wants some study buns?
Advertisement
Walking on the sidewalk, still thinking about those tasty buns, I heard my phone ring. Pulling the phone out of my pocket, I saw it was Syd calling. "Hey Syd," I answered the phone.
"Tom, what are you doing right now?" she said.
"I'm on a quest to find a cinnamon roll my friend Willow told me about. Why, what's up?"
"I need someone to help me with an exam tomorrow. I don't even know where to begin, and I've put off studying until today." She said. I could feel the stress pouring out of the phone.
"I don't know if you forgot, but I'm a coder. I know very basic things about the medical field. Like putting on a band aid if you get a cut or you'll die from lack of sleep sooner than starvation, which usually takes a few weeks to kill you." I said.
"Wow, I didn't even know that last fact. See, that's why you would be great at helping me study. I know you love cinnamon rolls, so I'll buy anyone you want if you just help me out."
"Whoa there! that's some serious words you're throwing around, but you got yourself a deal. Meet me at the Specialty Café on 5th avenue."
"Thank you, thank you, thank you so much! I'll be there soon. Oh, and don't run into anymore prank shows" Syd snickered as she hung up. Putting the phone back in my pocket, I rushed over to the Specialty Café.

New Paris [a Modern-day LitRPG]
New Paris [OR] I reincarnated into the world of my favorite wuxia novel as an S ranker with unbalanced skills. [Volume 1] - Completed I was one of those people who only stood out in a crowd when their name was called. Then, I died. But instead of heaven, hell, or anything else, I found myself in the body of a young woman whom I did not recognise at first. You see, I had this novel I was obsessed with. The novel was a fairly popular wuxia that got a few sequels, and a handful of spinoffs. One of these spinoffs took place in Paris, where the main cast fought against a multi-millionaire villain. When I woke up after dying, I eventually realised that I was now the third daughter of this multi-millionaire end-game boss in a spin-off of a sequel of my favourite novel. Does this make any sense to you? Because it doesn't to me. But I guess I might as well make the most of it now. Just gotta stay away from some of the more unstable main characters and cut all ties with my 'family' to avoid certain death. [Volume 2] - Currently Airing It had not been a good idea to interfere with the characters of the original novel. Had I known it was going to cause a butterfly effect, I would have stayed in my lane and minded my business. Although, between the suspicious attacks I seem to constantly find myself in the center of, and my 'family' who is the living definition of the expression 'rich pricks', I’m not entirely sure my current predicament would have been avoidable. But maybe it isn't to be avoided; maybe I should embrace this opportunity that has been given to me and become the hero of this story? At least it's certain that I can't do worse than the original protagonist in terms of moral ambiguity; with immortality already in my pocket, and no other useful skills to account for. However, if I were to follow this path, I would have a lot to lose, including an upcoming promotion and my growing relationship with my crush. With power, glory and whatever else on one side, and my wellbeing and happiness on the other, even in this magical wuxia world, the choice is easy to make.
