Sitting on a motorbike for 6 hours straight wasn't a pleasing experience but watching the beautiful scenery passing in front of your eyes with the sun setting down made it totally worth it. He started his trip after lunch and drove straight to Paris in one go, he arrived in front of his rented apartment in Paris around 8pm.
The owner was an old man waiting in a cafe right under the apartment, after some small talk he gave the keys to Sam and left, without losing any time he went upstairs and checked around the room what it looked like. It was very practical as everything he'd need for the weeks incoming was there.
Only now did he start feeling the tiredness of staying 6 hours focused on the road...
He took a fast shower and went directly to sleep without eating anything.

The next morning he grabbed his new phone to check the time, it was 8am but right after that he saw 4 missed calls from Em'.
Since she shouldn't be in school yet he called her, not even a second later her small and cute face was on his screen. He couldn't help but laugh right away, she was zooming so much on her nose that it looked like her nose was actually half her face.
"Hey Em !"
"Big brother !! Did I wake you up ? I'm sorry..."
"Don't worry I woke up alone, how was your first night at Rika's place ?"
"Hahah it was great ! Rika mom's food taste great, after dinner we played on her TV, she have a game called switch and then we slept together !"
"Ohhh so you are liking it ! I'm happy you do, it's time for school go ahead and I'll talk to you later."
"Yes, see you later big brother I love you !"
After a shower it was time to buy clothes, he didn't bring much with him so he needed a few new items. He didn't lose much time on it either, he just found a Nike shop nearby and bought necessities. As you couldn't find jeans at Nike he bought some on Internet that should arrive tomorrow, he was a big fan of jeans, even though it wasn't the most comfortable cloth it was still a timeless piece to go with almost everything.
Now he had to register to the show's auditions, the show was the same as America got talent or all the other versions, this one's name was "La France a un incroyable talent"
It was either this or "the voice" but the concurrence was better in the voice so he chose that one.
He opened his laptop on the room's table and started looking for the registration form, seconds later he found it... it was actually way easier than the expected. After filling that form he would be informed if he was chosen in the following week, it actually depended a bit on luck since too much people applied so it wasn't sure he would be chosen.
Now he will wait a week and see if that worked, since his luck stay was already high originally it might just work well for him.
[Master please make a choice :
+20 permanent strength points.
+5 permanents luck points.]
'Here come a real dilemma... wont those 20 strength points make me bulky ? I don't want to look like Arnold Schwarzenegger... nothing against him but his body isn't my ideal.'
I guess I'll take those luck points then, saying that he extended his hand and clicked on the luck button.
If it was just 10 points less he might have clicked on the strength stat, the 10 points he had got made him fit but it wasn't yet his ideal body. He wanted just a bit more so he'll wait till the system gave him that choice or he would buy it from the store when he will have EV to waste, he didn't need it but it would make his body more athletic and attractive, he could use those points for an acting or modeling job.
As usual the stat points didn't give any feeling, not having checked his stats page for awhile he opened it

The first thing that he realized had changed was his job, he was no longer a student but a singer. So the system actually believed that he will not go back to school or at least that school was already left in the background... it was a possibility as he believed this trip would make him soar.
Also the luck points were probably needed for him to make it into the show, even with that super high original value it wasn't enough to get into it, actually it was no wonder as probably a hundred thousand people actually applied, of course some had no talents and just wanted to shine for awhile.

The next morning Sam went out to visit the capital, it wasn't the most touristic city in the world for nothing. There were too much things to see in only one day so he decided to go to the Eiffel Tower today, it was huge, not as impressive as it was rumored but still it was worth seeing.
He parked his bike and took off the helmet, today he was wearing a dark grey Nike t shirt with green cargo pants and his black Timberland boots. Two girls that were passing by looked at him taking off the helmet, nothing surprising as his bike was very attention attracting, it made an deafening sound and was beautiful, on top of that the guy on top of it was fit and dressed very well, they realized it when he took off the helmet but he was also a handsome dude.
He also looked at them and just slightly smiled before getting off. He knew by the way they were looking at him that he could probably get their numbers if he asked and that was possibly due to the luck points he got yesterday, it wasn't lucky enough though since neither was his type of girl.
Thinking that made him laugh, before owning the system he didn't even have a girlfriend and now he could even have a "type" of girl
'Type of girl... well my type would be without a doubt Annie, she's cute, she's kind, she's beautiful and on top of that she's asian.'
His first girlfriend wasn't his type of girl, that's when he realized his tastes had changed after getting betrayed.
After spending time watching the Eiffel Tower and taking pictures for the new application he had downloaded : "Instagram" he left to eat something, without realizing it it was already 3PM and he was dying of hunger as he had taken only a light breakfast.
He had downloaded Instagram after seeing that all the people on YouTube had an account, he heard that if he could get enough followers he might get some sponsorship offers on that app too, in the end all he did had as a final objective making money.
Everybody liked money but he might like it more than most people, he believed that only those who had too much money could say sentences like "money doesn't bring happiness". Never would someone poor say that money didn't bring happiness or that guy would probably be either insane or a saint and Sam was neither, he firmly believed that money would make him and his sister happier.
Spending days like this one he finally received a mail confirming his entry in the talent TV show, he will soon soar higher than the sky. He would win the show without a doubt, although he could make way more money later he would happily take the 100 000€ and use them well.
