(Ren's P.O.V)

"So this is the place..." I walk up to the apartment high rise I was going to be living in. It was grand, Very grand, but considering it was controlled by the ASIC, it's bound to have something...

It was surrounded by a large wall, not too big, but definitely high enough to keep out people. At the front, sat a large gate. At the side of it, was an electric key-card lock.

I pull out the one Arfoire gave me before giving me the address. The apartment was in Planeptune, yet neither the Guild or the Goddesses have figured out this is a place of interest.

I slide my key card into the lock with a red light and it takes it. A few seconds later, the light turns green and ejects my card. The key card comes with it's own lanyard, so I wouldn't lose it even if I wanted to. The gate opens silently. I walk up to the grand entrance.

The goddesses must think this is a privately owned, 5-star hotel... I thought as I walk in.

"Woah..." I can't help but say as I see the foyer.

As I said before, the building was grand, Very, grand. But this was amazing!

HOW DO THEY NOT KNOW OF THIS PLACE? I thought in wonder.

The foyer was decorated with beautiful mosaic tile with a very large, gorgeous glass ceiling. It worked like a giant skylight, and it illuminated and reflected beautifully off the tiles.

I walk up to the gilded front desk in a daze.

"You must be the new tenant..." said a pretty secretary as she typed on her desktop, (which was state-of-the-art, high tech!).

"Ren?" she says.

"Y-yeah, that's me!" I say, snapping out of my daze.

She smiles. "First time, here? Don't worry, other people acted the same!"

"Really? I wonder why?" I say jokingly.

She laughs.

Huh, a girl laughed at my jokes...THIS MUST BE HEAVEN! I thought.

"May I see your Key-Card?" she asks.

"Here you go!" I happily oblige. She scans the card onto something behind the desk, a scanner maybe, and with a *bleep*, hands the card back.

"You're key now opens the elevators and your suite." she informs.

"Thank you!" I say as I skip towards the elevators. But as I reach the elevator, there's a problem. There's only a Key-Card lock instead of buttons.

"How do I go up?" I ask from the elevator.

"Just scan the key-card! It'll take you to the right floor!" The secretary shouts helpfully from her desk.

"Thanks!" I yell back. I swipe the key-card in and the doors automatically close. I hear and feel the elevator rise quickly.

*ding*

The pleasant chime of the elevator tells me I'm on my floor as it opens.

In front of me were two grand doors. One had a key-card lock.

I swipe my key in, and with an audible *click*, the door unlocks.

I open the door and stop in wonder.

"Wow..."

Imagine, the perfect man cave, multiply the size by two, and make it a penthouse.

I walk in and soak up the view around me. A living room, with a giant L-shaped leather sofa, in front of a giant, wall-sized , plasma screen TV... (With every Console...)
