...

After laying my father to bed, I proceeded to go to my room. But this time, I decided to stay awake for a while.

Since I had found the peculiar children and acquired my new peculiarities, I had trained practically nothing (not to say nothing). So today I was going to train.

Willing to do so, I did what I always did at home (except for the weights because I had not brought them with me for obvious reasons) and I also trained a little to improved my peculiarity. Thanks to the improvement, my control over the water had improved exponentially because I could now increase and decrease its size more and change its temperature to a certain level. I could also form some figures such as spears, making me even stronger.

Unfortunately I didn't have much time to train and I couldn't test the potency of my newly improved peculiarity either. If I were at home I would just sneak out the window and practice outside; in a secluded place where no one could see me, but this is not my home. In addition, Cairnholm has a serious problem with electric light and I could not use my mobile phone to train because the light it gave off was too dim to be able to see what I had more than 3 meters in front of me. In fact, I could have a tree in front of me and not realize it until I almost hit to it. In addition, I had to reserve battery for tomorrow. So it was impossible to train.

The good thing is that, during the time that the generators were on, I was able to charge my mobile and practice my peculiarity a little (without testing its destructive power) and I discovered that changing the form of the water was not difficult at all. I just had to think about the form I wanted it to take and that would happen. On the other hand, I calculated that I could increase the temperature of the water to such an extent that taking a hot bath outdoors was possible without problems. I also found that I could lower the temperature of the water to... Well, it could be very cold, but I'm sure it didn't reach 0º. I suppose that when the peculiarity gets even stronger, I will be able to do it, but for now this is all I have.

Shortly after, the generators stopped working plunging Cairnholm into absolute darkness. The charger stopped charging my mobile instantly, which was left with 90% battery. That's more than enough for tomorrow because I don't plan to spend my time in 2016 but in the year 1940 with my new friends, real friends who wouldn't get mad at me for nonsense.

I lay down in bed and began to reflect on today. The truth is that it had been quite funny. I had toured the Cairnholm in 1940s with the girls, we had fun on the beach, I had had the opportunity to see them all in their underwear and I had a funny dinner full of laughter where I expressed my desire to stay with the peculiar ones.

"I still remember their faces of joy when I said them that I was going to stay with them" – I said with a smile.

It was a smile that many would call "stupid." But I couldn't help but smile because it's the first time in my two lives that I've had such a good time, that I've made real friends, that I have love interests. I've only been here for two days and I've already had a better time than in my two lives. It's kind of sad to say, but in my previous life I didn't have time to enjoy myself. I worked hard and with almost no rest to carry out my enterprise and when I finally became rich and powerful and believed that I could enjoy my riches, I realized that true happiness was not in material things, but in family. But when I tried to look for my birth family, I realized that they had died miserably, which left me on the verge of depression. Then, I began to read novels and books like crazy, taking refuge in fantasies that years later I would discover were only an absolute lie.

Whereas, in this life, everyone treated me like: "Jacob the weirdo" and I had to bribe a thug to protect me from bullies. Apart from him, no one else spoke to me and I was marginalized. So far, I have not been lucky in either of my two lives. But two days here have been enough to make me feel like this is my place. As if this were where i belonged. Have you ever felt this, have you ever felt like you belong to a place? Well, not until now, but after my meeting with them and despite the little time I spent with them... I think I've found the place where I belong.

 They don't treat me as: "Jacob the weird," but as Jacob, a friend and Abe's grandson. Although I sincerely want the second to be rather secondary. I can't stop being the grandson of their dear friend Abe, but what I can do is make that secondary to them. I can make myself for them Jacob, their best friend and who happens to be Abe's grandson and I know firsthand that I am getting it. I don't have much left to achieve that small goal but I'll do it for sure.

In short, I am happy and glad to have reincarnated here and I thank the God of Deals for his opportunity and for reincarnating me here with a system.

[The system was never owned by the God of Deals]

"Really? Curious, I thought you were created by him" – I said.

It usually happens in most novels. Don't you think?

[Well, it's not true. Right now I can't tell you who I was created by, but it definitely wasn't the God of Deals.]

"Then, why is he able to restrict you?" – I asked.

[If you say it because of your memories... I made a deal with him. Don't ask the contents of the deal, but let's say he asked me not to reveal anything about future events. That I could do it little by little through missions so as not to give you the absolute advantage]

"Wait a minute, if that's true... doesn't it mean he gave you something in return?" – I asked curiously.

If it was the God of Deals who made the deal with the system... What did he give him in return?

[He gave me something in return, but I can't tell you. Although when the time comes you'll know, believe me]

"Ok, I won't insist on the subject anymore. After all, I won't get any answer" – I nodded.

The system has proven to be extremely stubborn and very good at keeping secrets, so... it will be better not to insist too much. I don't want to anger the being who gives me peculiarities in exchange for missions.

[Yes, it's better that way]

"In any case, it is already quite late and I should go to sleep. After all, I need to be full of energy for tomorrow" – I said.

I don't know what will happen tomorrow, but it's clear that I'll have a great time. Whatever I do I won't get bored.

Thinking about what I could do tomorrow, another tour? Another little beach adventure? I don't know, but I'm looking forward to it. And so, thinking about what the future would bring to me, I fell completely asleep, diving into the depths of my dreams.

…

The next morning.

Today seemed to be a good day in Cairnholm. The sun was shining quite a bit and although the clouds covered the sky as usual, for the residents of this island, today is what they called: "A summer day". That's right, for them, today was a summer day. A pretty hot day despite the absence of heat. However, everyone seemed to be used to it because today no one wore a coat like the day before, but wore short-sleeves shirts.

Jacob got up and as the previous two days, he got dressed and went downstairs for breakfast (but not before showering in the communal shower).

After waking up and taking a shower, I went downstairs for breakfast. What was the state of the shower? Let's say that... if you walked barefoot, even for a second, your foot would get full of fungus. Luckily, apart from the only pair of shoes that had taken me to Cairnholm, I was also smart and took some flip-flops. Flip flops that I used to avoid getting an infection in the shower.

That said, on the way down, I found my father eating some buttered toast (only menu), so I sat in front of him.

"Good morning, Jacob. How did you wake up this morning?" – my father asked.

"Very well. How are you? You drank a lot yesterday and you must have a hangover" – I said.

"Ah... I'm fine. I'm used to it. By the way... Did I say anything inappropriate to you last night? I don't remember anything. I'm lying, I actually remember that you arrived at the hotel, but from then on my whole memory is blurry.

"Well, let's see... you told me about the new birdwatcher who had suddenly appeared on the beach" – I said.

"I see, yes... Anyway that doesn't matter anymore. What are you going to do today?" – he asked.

"Just the same as yesterday. Go for a walk with my new friends and have fun" – I said with a shrug.

Well, technically it's true. Although I will not be with the friends he believes.

"I see. I hope you have a good time" – my father said.

However, I could notice some sadness and melancholy on his face.

"Are you sad about yesterday?" – I asked.

It was obvious that something was wrong with him.

"Nothing happens to me... but I think that today I will also dedicate myself to exploring the island. Since I have arrived I have only been bird watching and I think the time has come to see this wonderful island" – he said.

"Have a good time then" – I said.

But I knew the truth. He didn't want to go to the beach so he wouldn't run into that guy again, out of fear and cowardice. That's how my father was. The truth is that I would like to encourage him, but... I have to seize the day. I feel sorry for him, but I promise to talk to him tonight.

After having some toast for breakfast (again), we both went to spend our day the way we wanted.
