Caleb finished the daily dirt mission.It was quite tiring as usual.But what he understood was that the charm point of this mission was just one point, but he managed to increase his charm points by 5 just from creating the Dreamer app.“Charm doesn’t have everything to do with exterior looks….” Caleb thought. “There are some famous actors who look ugly, and fat politicians who attract the masses with their speeches. So, getting fit isn’t the only way to increase my charm score. As long as you’re accomplishing something significant, the chances of the charm score increasing are not low.”Caleb returned to his apartment.Four guys stood in front of the stairs, blocking his path.These guys all lived on the ground floor, and they were all married.“Who were the girls that came to your room last night?” they asked him.Caleb was not too surprised by their question. “Why should I tell you?”“Hey, fatty. Do you really want to make us your enemies?” they smirked.“I’m fat, but you’re not s

Later that night.Caleb continued coding on his laptop until he received Harvey’s call.Caleb hesitantly answered, “What is it, Mr. Harvey?”“Why did you buy that old apartment?” Harvey asked. “What were you thinking?”Caleb was surprised. He didn’t think Harvey would know about it so soon. Now, it became all the more clear that Harvey was keeping a close eye on him.“What’s wrong with me buying the apartment I grew up in?” Caleb asked.“If you had told me, I would have arranged it so that you would have bought the apartment for 100K,” Harvey said.“But that would be unfair for the owner, though,” Caleb said.“She’s just an old hag. 100K is plenty enough for her,” Harvey casually retorted.“She charges less rent than other old apartment owners,” Caleb said. “How can I be unfair to her?”“You could have saved 300K,” Harvey said. “That’s not small money. You’re going to become a part of the Thompson family soon, and then you’ll have to change your attitude toward spending money because

After dinner, Caleb took a tour around the house, and then he walked out with Eureka.Harvey and his wife did not escort them out on purpose.“What happened to your ear?” Eureka asked him. “Why did you bandage it?”“A crow bit my ear,” Caleb said.“What? That’s shocking. I’m sorry.”“It shocked me as well when it flew past me. It happened so fast. I know birds are crazy, but they are also quite scary. Just the thought of a flock of them attacking us is giving me chills. Heck, they don’t need to attack. They can drop shit bombs from the sky and harass humans to no end.”When Caleb reached his car, Eureka saw the car and quickly said, “Are you planning on using this car in the future as well?”“Why?” he looked at her. “Does it bother you?”“I won’t fit in it. So, yeah, it bothers me,” she said without hesitation.“I’m tall, too, and my head nearly touches the roof, but this is my father’s car,” he replied. “Even if I buy other cars, I will still not let go of this one.”“I see. I spoke

The next morning.Caleb woke up at nine in the morning.He had a good sleep after a long time, but he first got up from the bed and checked for his heel pain.To his pleasant surprise, it was magically gone.“Thank you, Dreamie,” he said, knowing such fast recovery wouldn’t be possible without the system.It might take weeks to recover from such pain without the system.[Charm point +1][Stamina+2][Strength+1]“Why did you suddenly reward me?” Caleb asked in surprise. “Is it because I thanked you?”[No, you survived one day after your war with the Black Crow of Billion Dreams has started.]Caleb’s expression froze for a second. “What do you mean I survived? Was the crow trying to kill me yesterday?”The system did not respond.The silence was quite unsettling; damning, even.Just when he was feeling happy for recovering from a nasty little injury, the system ruined his morning with a troublesome message.“Is the crow more dangerous than I’m considering it to be?” Caleb wondered.He r

During the lunch hours, Christina paid for everybody in the cafe for one burger and soft drink.She was just sharing her happiness of getting promoted as it meant so much for her.Sherry had no problem eating the burger and drinking the cola, but she couldn’t understand how Christina made it into the core team so fast.“She didn’t do any special service to Caleb, did she?” Sherry wondered. “It’s hard to tell, but it’s not impossible.”Sherry had to think this way in order to satisfy her own ego.She had been working in this company for nearly forty months and did not get promoted at all, yet she didn’t want to feel inferior to Christina or any other worker, so she would rather force herself to believe that the other employees were doing something in secret to get promoted rather than looking at herself and reworking on her own skills, or the lack thereof.Just as Sherry finished her meal, Caleb came to the cafe because Christina invited him as well.However, he did not eat or drink an
