Nyla stepped out of her now-blank house, looking up at the massive Dyson sphere in the sky, and past it to the other side of the ring world. Today would be a great day for her, she was moving to a planet-bound colony in the new artificial solar system. Artificial solar systems were massive constructions, and took years to make, and billions sign up to be chosen to live on one of the worlds in them every time a new one was made, and Nyla was lucky enough to be chosen. She headed for the spaceport, and to her transport, guided by holographic arrows only she could see, shown via the implants in her brain. She boarded her transport, a small ship taking her to her main mode of transportation for this journey, a spaceship nearly the size of a small planet. As she stepped aboard, she was taken aback by the sheer size of it, she had taken smaller trips to nearby solar systems, only a few light years away, but nothing like this, a destination all the way on the other side of the galaxy. The ship had enough facilities and space to support a small civilization, and it basically did that, as most of the crew on these planet-ships lived their entire lives on their ship. After a few hours of exploring the ship, the captain, an AI, announced that the ship would soon depart for their destination. As Nyla got lunch at a nearby restaurant, the ship started to move, once safely out of range of the ring world Nyla called home, it achieved FTL (Faster Than Light) speeds by using massive amounts of energy, accessible through a network of infinite power spanning the entire known galaxy, all connected to vast fields of black hole generators, the ship bent time and space around it, bringing Nyla light years away in mere seconds. She looked out the window in awe as she observed her destination. A massive artificial solar system, 9 artificial stars, orbiting an artificial black hole. All surrounded by hundreds of planets, all with their own purpose. Entire planet-sized nature reserves, vacation planets, huge planet-sized computers, with fabricated cities dotting the surface. She watched a VR movie, and played some VR games, even a few older 2D games, to pass the time as the ship made stops near other planets in the system before reaching hers. Nyla once again boarded a transport ship, and exited on the surface of her new home. It was nothing like her old ring world, the sky had 9 suns, and none obscured by a Dyson sphere, there was no familiar arch above her, the planet was a sphere and the sky was dotted with the other planets in the system. Despite the differences, her new home was a beautiful place, she thought, as the sub-orbital flight to her new house came to an end. She downloaded all the data of her old house, and the house rearranged itself accordingly, Nyla looked around at her new home planet, she would enjoy living here, she might even stay for a few centuries before moving again.

So background info on the world this takes place in:
This takes place at a point when humanity has successfully
created AI, who are accepted as normal members of society,
humanity has learned to halt aging, cure all known diseases,
and has advanced to the level of a level III civilization on the
kardashev scale. A massive galaxy-wide network of practically
infinite power has also been built, powered by stars and black holes.
Of course VR is now essential to Society and now uses brain implants,
inserted at birth, which connect to the galaxy-wide VR network, which
is like a futuristic internet. Also nanotechnology is commonly used
in construction so entire houses and buildings can be built and rearranged in minutes.
