Luck was on my side as Claire was fond of long, warm water baths, allowing me to browse the net and learn everything I could from my phone.
With a stroke of shitty luck, even in this new world, I was once again the middle born of my family.
I had an elder sister, Ariana and a younger brother Adrian.
It was easy to determine the familial connections using the chats and ID's as a medium.
My mother's name is Selyne and dad's name is Luke, they both don't have an A in their name and yet they named all their children with the first letter being A.
I could only think of it as they hated their children, as being named with A meant the starting roll numbers in the school and universities.
Trust me, being Aaron, there were few names that could come before me in the roll call.
Being first in the vivas, sitting at the first bench in exams where cheating is very hard, it was a tough life.
Luckily this world was not Earth.
It was called Solaris, and unlike Earth, it had a single international currency called Sols.
There were a total of 9 continents, one in the middle and rest circling it in an extremely unnatural and artificial way. Shaped like a big octagon.
The surface area of this world was also much bigger, as each continent was as huge as Asia, and the central continent was twice Asia's area.
Though, it didn't mean that there was any lack of oceans.
It was in a 60:40 ratio approx, with 60% being submerged under oceans.
It was less than Earth's 70-30, but considering the larger size of this world, the 60% water of this world could drown the whole Earth underwater.
I figured that learning basic geography could be beneficial so that's what I did, learning the names of my current and surrounding cities.
I was in a city known as Snombi, quite a weird name but the first three syllables were dedicated to the pretty snow that was all around us.
My hometown's in a city that's a little far from here, but that was a good thing.
I had no intention of meeting them until I could improve my impersonation of this Aaron and also learn more about this world.
This body's mother can instantly see through my disguise.
Or maybe the dad in this world's case?
Because yes, my worst fears came to be true. This world was indeed more female dominated.
One can even think of it as Earth, but with monsters, dungeons, magic, and the males act like women, and women act more like men.
I wonder if I can even be sexist in this world, because it was a fact that here men were more of dishwashers, rather than women.
It had been around half an hour since Claire went into the bathroom, but I could still hear the sounds of flowing water.
She will take a little more time inside, so I finally left the bed and wore my clothes that I found tossed in a corner of the room.
Basic knowledge was already acquired, most of it being that every human in this world had my most coveted gem, a system.
Females were more dominant due to a fact that human females have a slightly more attunement to mana, making them much more capable of channeling and using it.
With the world running on mana, it was only natural that they would be a more dominant force.
"Oh, my lovely~"
While walking around the room, I found a pack of cigarettes and a lighter lying on a side table.
'Uhm, is it Claire's? Did Aaron smoke?' questions popped in my mind, and I checked the phone's gallery in case I could find some proof for it, but it was filled mostly with my own pics, with occasional couple pics with Claire.
'Haah…'
I was feeling torn, one part of me wanted to smoke desperately, but I also didn't want to give up my disguise.
But in the end, my desire won as I lit the cigarette, only to cough up soon after.
This body was definitely not used to the smoke, and also, maybe it was just me, but the taste of tobacco was much much stronger than I was used to.
Maybe the cigarettes of a magical world were magical too, which ain't that bad a thing in my opinion.
"Hmm this must be the food she was talking about." I noticed two plates of food kept on a table, but it was completely cold now.
I casually picked them up and carried them to the kitchen to reheat them, also exploring the apartment in more detail.
It was a 2BHK, but one of the rooms was much smaller and was filled with junk, which I could only assume that it was being used as a store room.
The kitchen was modular and lavish, with appliances that seemed more advanced than Earthly appliances.
All in all, it was plain obvious that Claire was loaded, as obviously, she was the provider of the house.
We both were 22 currently, in a live-in relationship with me pursuing a degree in arts, while I was unable to find too much about Claire's.
'How the fuck do I use this?'
I blinked, feeling confused about the hi-tech appliances.
I wanted to use the microwave to reheat food, but it had too many options and I wasn't even able to find the switch to turn it on.
So I could only give up and decide that I would just act cute and ask Claire's help.
No shame in that whatsoever, it was the norm that we men are pampered.
Though, jokes aside, I didn't like the dynamic too much as I wanted to rise myself in power as well. I just had no clue how to.
Hmm, thinking about power, I forgot to check what benefits my title provided.
After all, it was legendary, no?
My mind was ruined by the class Boy Toy, and then Claire interrupted me, after which I got fucked and then spent all the time just scavenging for information on my phone.
'Status, Otherworldly Soul.'
I thought, pulling up the status screen.
