“KNOCK! KNOCK!” The loud knocks were apprehended multiple times. It certainly awoke Maverick, the owner of the room. Following those annoying knocks, the intense yell joins, “Wake up, you, Slacker‼ There is a lot to do this morning!” “Hmm..” Maverick hummed as he was getting himself together. Then, he got down from his small bed, stepping out from the room, passing his aunt, Louisa, madly staring at him. Through her brown orbs, it was obvious she despised him, although he was her own nephew. At that time, as he reached downstairs, Maverick immediately went to the kitchen, and a stack of dirty plates greeted him in the sink. Without uttering a word, he soaked and rinsed the plates with the provided water and soap. While he was busy with the dishes, his cousin, Asher, showed his little achievement in a few classes at the university. “Dad, I got an A on the calculus individual project and chemistry some take-home quizzies,” Asher proudly mentioned as he sliced a piece of bacon and ate

With confident steps, Maverick was off from the regular room. Around three minutes later, he reached the cashier's counter. At the place, there was a woman in a navy blue shirt, with her pony tail haistyle, standing behind the cash register. She noticed Maverick and smiled warmly. "How can I help you, sir?" The cashier staff greeted in a friendly way. "I would like to pay for the medical treatment bills I had," Maverick stated while taking out his phone and getting ready with the payment application. "All right, sir. Let me sort out the details first." The cashier stated. She began to take a few documents related to the patients' entrance on that day. Her grey eyes meticulously scanned a document where Maverick's identity was typed. Once it was settled, the cashier announced, "The total of the treatments along with administration are two thousand five hundred dollars." "Okay. Can I pay through the banking app?" Maverick made sure that the payment method he got was allowe

An hour later, Maverick had finished cleaning up. With the sweat on his forehead, he inhaled gently. Yet, it did not mean he could rest in his room. He still had to go to the grocery store nearby. Otherwise, Louisa would not let him stay there peacefully. Before he got out of the house, he pierced his stare on the list of stuff written on a small notepad. At that point, he was reminded of the remaining money on the extravagant system. Therefore, he thought to himself, "Can I know my current status, system?" [Of course, Master. Here is your updated status!] [Master's name: Maverick Parker] [Body: 15 points (weak)] [Mind and soul: 20 points (weak)] [Extra points: 15 Points] [Total balance: USD 147.500] [Skills: Sensible Analytical Skill] [Inventory: Level 1] [Extra shop: Locked] Noticing the balance part written on the panel, Maverick tugged a little smile. He felt less worried at that moment. At least, the system had his back in an unfortunate situation. Then, he

The new day came. It welcomed the citizens with slightly cold weather, combined with sunlight peeking through several thin clouds in the sky. Having finished with bathing and dressing up, Maverick got down to the kitchen. By the time he stepped closer to the dining table, Asher, Marshall, and Louisa were there. They didn't greet him. Even, they pretend as if he weren't there. Looking at such a situation, Maverick was cool as a cucumber. He might feel irritated inside, but he got used to it. He also acknowledged they disliked his existence in there. That was why he planned to save more bucks, so that he could reside in a new place. Yet, while he was ready to take a loaf of bread, Louisa glanced at him indifferently. She then snapped, "Who asks you to have breakfast with us?? Have you forgotten to do the washing-up?!" Maverick rolled his eyes. The frustration glinted in his orbs. In contrast, he attempted to negotiate politely, "Can't it be done after I grab a bite? I'll do it

In his patience, Maverick was waiting in the elevator. While standing in the electric cubicle, he sometimes checked some notifications on one of his social media accounts. He scrolled down the timeline, passing through several photos posted by his followers. "DING!" A loud ring nudged his ears as the doors opened, allowing him to step out. With his little confidence, Maverick got out of the cubicle. He carefully identified his surroundings as he attempted to find the middle hall. The moment he stepped on the floor and passed the rows of employee tables, a few workers darted their gazes to him. Some of them also threw their opinions under whispers. They were always like that whenever university students visited the company. Although they seemed to be noisy, it did not distract Maverick's attention. His focus was solely on completing the interview to finish the project assigned by the lecturer. Having reached the door of the director's room, he carefully knocked since he tried
