004: Let's go Shopping

I don't know what to do but if this decision of mine would make my two dearest families happy then, why not?

[6:00 PM, Monday], [SM City San Pablo]

"So what are we doing here, Theodore?" Asked Mother.

"Right, brother? what are we supposed to do here?"

"What can we do here? of course, to go shopping!" I answered with excitement.

"W-What do you mean, Theodore?" Asked Mother, flustered.

"Yes, brother? what do you mean?"

"Sighed! here, look at this." I abruptly took my phone in my wallet and showed them the money which I earned in selling the 21 New Coins to the Player Association.

"2..200 what? Althea, could you please tell me how many digits are there?"

"Ohh okay.. Hm, 1..2.3.4.5...6.."

"So how many digits are there, Althea?"

"S-Six digits Mother.."

"S-Six? Doesn't that mean that your brother has a hundred thousand pesos?" 

"There's no doubt, mother! big brother was a millionaire!" 

"W-Wait, it's just a thousand, not millions.." 

"Theodore! where did you get this money from?" Asked Mother whilst showing an angry expression on his face.

"M-Mother, calm down.." And so I told them everything regarding to where I earned the money.

"S-So you mean that news from the TV was true? and you earned that money from selling a coin from that game?"

"Yes, mom, and if you have any more doubts then, I will call the agent who bought my new coins earlier and you may talk to her personally.

"I trust you, thank you, Theodore." She turned around after she spoke.

"M-Mom.. Are you crying?" 

"N-no w-why would I.." she said, her sobs echoing across the mall.

"M-Mom, we could hear you.." I immediately turn mother around and hug her tightly while slowly patting his back. "Mom, I'm so sorry for not doing this much earlier."

"T-Theodore, I should be the one thanking you."

"Mom.."

"You've worked hard." Her tears flowed down to my broad shoulders as she spoke.

..

We three spend the entire night buying clothes, eating some food, and playing arcade games while taking pictures from each of every corner of the mall.

[11:18 PM, Monday], [Location: Our House]

I asked mom if she has some plans of buying a new house but she declined. I asked her why and told me that our house will be our only house though I know the meaning behind it. 

[Location: Theodore's Bedroom]

Just as I was about to change my clothes, I felt tired all of a sudden and fell down the bed while thinking of those happy memories that we three created.

"If this was truly the reality then, thank you." I mumbled and fall asleep from my slumber.

...

[6:30 AM, Tuesday]

"Uhh-Ahh!~" I woke up exactly at 6:30 AM and went to the toilet room to wash my face.

I heard a distinct voice from the kitchen calling my name while I was washing my face.

"Theodore? Are you already up?" Asked Mother.

"U-Ohh, yes mom, wait a sec.." 

"Okay~" 

[Location: Downstairs]

"Um, mom.."

"Let's eat." 

"Ohh.." So this is what it feels like eating with your dearest families. How many years have I longed for this to happen, and how have I wished for it to last forever?

While we were eating, we talked about the thing regarding New Life, and an hour quickly passed in a blink of an eye.

"So you will be going outside again?" 

"Yes, mom.. Can I?"

"I can't force you to stop what you're doing am I right? Just remember that you have a family waiting for you to go back safely." She said.

"T-Thank you, mom.." 

After that, I took a shower and prepared for my departure.

"Mom, sister, I will go now."

"Theodore, be safe." She said, showing a worried expression on his face.

"Big brother, don't  be too hard on yourself, take care.."

"Ohh? didn't know that little sister know to formally bid farewell huh?"

"Just go! Humph!" She turned around just after she spoke.

...

[9:45 AM, Tuesday], [Location: Makiling Forest, Laguna]

"So today was crowded again huh?" I mumbled.

Before going inside the forest, I first rest in the player's lounge and took some time to check and analyze my status bar.

[NAME: THEODORE] [AGE: 18]

[LEVEL 04] [EXP: 375/500] [POINTS: 08]

[CLASS: NO CLASS]

[STATS:]

STRENGTH: 04

AGILITY: 07

DEXTERITY: 03

WISDOM: 09

ENDURANCE: 03

LUCK: 06

"Hm, so I already have 8 unallocated points huh?"

{PRO TIP: Unallocated Points can be used to increase one's stats whether it was strength, agility, wisdom, endurance, or luck. Unallocated Points could be acquired by leveling up, getting two points each level.}

"Once I leveled up to 10, I can now select what class I should be in and get skills regarding to it but the problem was how can I choose a class? It's not like an NPC would also come here on earth. Wait, what if it is? I immediately took my phone and browsed the internet and searched for information about NPCs.

I scrolled and scrolled down until I finally saw a post regarding to the information about NPCs. 

[F******k Post: If you're thinking about how or where you could find an NPC to choose your class then you may go to Ayala GreenField Golf Course. There, you may find everything you need.]

"Is it really possible that NPC also appeared on earth? Well, if it is, then would it be much better than not having that man." Pertaining to Kyle, the NPC that offers skill books.

I pondered for quite a while as I go inside the forest to continue the second day of my hunt.

[Makiling Forest, Inside]

Just as I was going deeper into the forest, I heard a loud voice from a distance asking for help. 

Though It was not my concern I followed the voice to see what happened.

"Hm, a strong smell of blood." The stench of blood pervades the air whilst I readied myself for any possibilities of danger while getting closer to the location where I heard the voice.

I got closer and closer until the voice dissipated while I could feel a heavy pressure from the air. 

"T-This was bloodlust!"
