When I woke up, I didn't feel quite rested. I'm not sure how many hours I had slept, so I checked my phone.

Holding a phone was so weird. I was so used to it being a taboo. I guess right now I'm not really a demigod anymore, being an angel and whatnot.

When my screen turned on, the time showed that it was almost noon. I guess I was just really tired from the battle the day before. I also noticed that I had a few texts from Thanatos, or well, who I think is him at least.

The texts had the contact name "Boss", which I figured referred Thanatos. I saw that there were just a two.

"Good morning Perseus, this is Thanatos, I have placed my name on your contacts as Boss as to not arouse suspicion from anyone that gets their hands on your phone. It is just a normal mortal phone after all. Anyways, feel free to call me at any time. I know this is all disorientating, so if you have any questions just call me. I will be very busy getting souls in the right place myself, but I should be able to pick up most time."

The second text read, "Oh, and one more thing. You have the day off. I know you just went through so much yesterday, so take it easy today, get a hand for your new body, and just enjoy yourself."

I smiled after reading that. I'd been so long since the last time I had a break. Honestly, with school and Greek life interweaving together, there was no time to take it easy.

I looked around the room and saw the gaming set up I had noticed last night. I didn't see any games, just all the consoles. I turned the Xbox on first, and after the set up sequence, I found that I was already logged in. AllRugbyBoy13, silly, but I made it when I was much younger.

More surprisingly, I checked my library to see every game and DLC already downloaded. There were so many that I just couldn't choose.

As I was scrolling through, I was interrupted by the growling of my stomach, a very strong one too. I looked over to my kitchen, but I realized that I had no idea how to cook anything.

I turned off the Xbox and TV before I walked over to the kitchen. I opened the fridge and the pantry to find both empty. All that I found was a note on the islands counter.

A yellow sticky note stood out from the black marble. The note said, "I don't know what you like to eat, since I don't eat, so I'm leaving you with this debit card. It should have your first months salary in it."

I picked up said card, and on the front it read "MoonTrust". It had a little sticker with an activation line that I had to call. I called and after answering a few questions, which I have no idea how Thanatos knew the answer to since he set up the account, my card was activated.

The guy that had helped me activate my card told me about their app, and how it made handling my money easier. I looked for it and downloaded the app. Once I logged in I saw just how much one months salary was.

I almost fell on my ass. I don't think I've ever had that much money at once. With this kind of money both mom and Paul could quit their jobs!

$27,860 is what the screen read as the amount of money in my account. The first transaction on the account was giving me exactly that much under the name Death Inc.

It made me wonder if I had to pay taxes, but that I cared, that's still so much money. I was getting weirdly exited at the prospect of having so much money, but I wasn't sure what to spend it on. Most of the material things that I've always wanted were already in this room. I did know what my first purchase had to be though.
