Mirela has a wonderful sleep on her new bed and woke up the next day refreshed. 

She ate some fruit and took a look at the pills. 

"Should I..? Oh well." She drank the impurity removing pill, at one memory enhancement pill and one beauty pill.

At first she didn't feel any different when she expected, like, a big bang? Not as exaggerated but she did expect some instant results.

When she was in the shower washing her body, a strange black goo excreted from her body.

"AHH! I'm gonna die!" Mirela washed it away as fast as she could but more and more appeared. After thirty minutes of constant scrubbing, she could feel a layer of her skin missing, but her body as a whole felt lighter and stronger as well.

Mirela glanced in the mirror as she passed but quickly back tracked. Although her body was still sickly thin and her bones visible, she looked much more healthy. Her skin had a healthy flush, her hair was no longer a dark dirty brown but a glistening milky white and her blue eyes had changed from an icy blue to an icy blue with violet and gold flecks. 

They themselves looked like precious jewels.

Putting on long sleeved top, jeans and some shoes, she grabbed a backpack and a warm hat and exited the space. The first thing she wanted to do was get a haircut because although her hair was beautiful, three fourths of it was dry split ends and long hair is too troublesome right now. But, she needed money, which is one thing she doesn't have in her space.

How to earn money... She doesn't have too many options right now and she is completely homeless, so she cant sell any items...

Busking? But she doesn't have an instrument. So she'll just have to sing.


Mirela POV


I walked out from the alley, sneakily avoiding the bullies in the area. My body is still too weak to fight anyone.

I walked along the streets and found a nice area with many people walking by. I started singing some songs from my previous world and was actually surprised by my voice. I was expecting an ordinary voice, but it sounded ethereal.

After two hours of constant singing i happily picked up my hat full of money. I walked somewhere a little more private and counted it all up. 

$63.50 all up! 

"Oh my god, i didn't i could get so much so quickly!!" I exclaimed.

I ate an apple from my space on my way to the haircut shop.

When i entered, there were people sitting and chatting as they got their haircuts. One of the hairdressers noticed me and walked behind the desk.

"Hello, are you looking to get a haircut?" She gently asked.

"Yes please." I innocently smiled.

She looked behind me and furrowed her brows. "How old are you? Where are your parents?"

"Im with my big sister, shes just getting some food. She just said to ask to get a childrens cut."

The hairdresser didn't think i was lying and led me to a free seat.

"What kind of haircut would you like?"

Damn, i didn't think that far... Whats some nice short haircuts? "Umm, do you have a book i can look through?" I asked.

She smiled and handed me a magazine full of different haircuts from kids.

I picked to get my hair cut up to my ears. Since my hair is naturally curly, it looks adorable and i can still tie it up if i want.

"Nice choice." She comments.

I only smile in response.

"How old are you?" She starts making conversation and she cuts off inches from my hair.

"Im seven."

"Wow, you look younger."

"Haha, i get that a lot." No i don't. 

"Your adorable, especially when you smile."

"Haha, thank you."

Twenty minutes later, my hair is a bit puffy, but looks amazing and adorable.

"Thank you."

"It's fine, that is $12.50"

I hand her the money and decide to treat myself to some food.

I walk to the nearest café and choose a medium quiche and take a bottle of water from my space, but i pull it from my bag so it doesn't appear from nowhere.

Reward: Advance space to level 1]

Strange red arrows appear in my vision. I pack up the rest of my quiche and follow the arrows. I come to a small alley and hear quiet whimpers. Following the sound, i move away a trash can and a few boxes and what i see breaks my heart.

A puppy the size of my small hand is lying on the ground. It is as skinny as me and its beautiful black fur is matted on its body. Its so young it can't even open its own eyes yet.

"Sshh. Its okay, puppy. It's okay." 

I gently pick it up and cuddle it in my embrace. Quickly searching around, no ones around near me. I enter the space when a ding goes off in my head.
