The following morning, Alex awoke feeling refreshed and energized after a good night, the bed was really comfy. He quickly completed his morning workout, pushing himself through a series of exercises that left him invigorated.

After finishing their breakfast, they made their way to the magic rail station. The sleek, shimmering train awaited them, ready to whisk them off to another district. As they settled into their seats, the anticipation inside Alex grew; today's first goal was to visit a real estate agency to buy a house that would serve as their temporary base.
A few minutes later, they arrived at their destination. The real estate agency was a modern building with glass walls that allowed natural light to flood the interior. Inside, they were greeted by a friendly real estate agent who welcomed them warmly.
"Good morning! How can I assist you today?" the agent asked, gesturing for them to sit down.
