It's still around 5 pm in Summerfield. After showering, Jimmy dips himself in a hot bathtub to calm his mind and relax his muscles.He has lived in the house of a wealthy family all this time. But only now does he truly feel like a rich man.Well, it’s not only about the house. There are 1,349 Gold Coins in his balance right now, which is worth around $1.2 Million.“So, I’m a millionaire now, after only visiting Icalaterra twice? Maaaan!”He leans his head back in the bathtub, and stretches his arms, before shouting out his excitement.“Wooooo!!!”But soon, he is back to his reality, thinking about the risk he will face. There are chances he will meet other hunters in that realm. He could just die there, either by the hunter or by the monsters.“Um, hey! Will you continue to resurrect me after I die?”[!][That’s a special condition in a few certain places like Leawel Isles][The rest, you will find Icalaterra like the world you now live in, although it won't be completely the same]“S
Jimmy has difficulty hiding his discomfort at the mere thought of making this one Karen girl his girlfriend. Not to mention that she is so far from being cute.He may never express it so far, because indeed he is not an outspoken person, not wanting to hurt anyone’s feelings. But if he has to be honest, Tia is the type of annoying girl he hates the most.“I didn’t come here for that reason,” says Jimmy. “I…”“That’s great!” Tia interrupts. “The faster you understand your place the better! I may still be single, but there are lots of men lining up wanting to date me, and they're much more attractive than you.”Jimmy’s brows twitch, starting to be unable to hold his annoyance. “Look! It’s a good thing you don’t like me, ‘cause I really don’t have any interest in dating a girl like you. I came here…”“What did you say?” she snaps. “A girl like me? How dare you insult me in front of my own house? Don’t be so in denial just because I reject you! If it’s that hard to accept this reality, go
Tia snaps. She opens the door, intending to get out of the truck to vent out her rage.But then, suddenly, two girls call from above.“Yo! Tia! What are you doing down there?“Who is that guy? Damn! He is hot!”Tia and Jimmy look up towards the window of Tia’s room on the second floor. It turns out to be their classmates who happen to live on the same block as Tia.One of them has ear-length short brown hair named Chloe, a girl with a small piercing on her sharp nose.The other one is a chubby girl named Olive, currently holding a pack of potato chips. All the chips are now falling over, as the girl is gawking in surprise.“No way!” Olive mumbles. “Jimmy! Is that really you? What are you doing here with that kind of outfit?”“Don’t tell me! Hey, Jimmy! Did you ditch school for this glow up only to hook up on our dear friend Tia?” asks Chloe with a disbelieving face.“What the?” Jimmy’s face scrunches so badly. “Please, don’t get me wrong! I’ve already had a new girlfriend while I was
Tia can’t utter a word. She has accompanied her grandpa to that said house several times, and has even entered that house too.She knows very well how big and impressive the house is. And the most difficult thing for her to accept is that her grandfather is now working for Jimmy, the man she has always humiliated and despised this whole time.The same with Chloe and Olive, who are still eavesdropping from near the stairs on the second floor, they whisper to each other expressing their bemusement.“Didn't Stephanie say that his mother was just a waitress when they lived in Drada?!”“But, we never knew about his father who abandoned him years ago!”Soon, they notice Tia climbing the stairs. Immediately, they rush over her, looking impatient to express their confusion.“Tia! Did I hear wrong?” asks Olive.“You were eavesdropping?” Tia squints“So, your grandpa works for that despicable douchebag?” Chloe ignores Tia’s unpleasant look.“Daamn! You have been living with the dude’s money, heh
Two days later, at Anna's funeral, not a single Summerfield High student comes except Jimmy and Cynthia.Anna's parents don't seem to be able to forgive Jimmy. They don’t say anything to him until they leave the cemetery.At least, Anna's older sister, Lila Campbell, is still taking her time to talk to Jimmy before going home. “I now know what happened in Drada, and the verbal abuses she had received.”Jimmy doesn’t say anything, which makes Cynthia a bit anxious because of it.Hence, she steps forward to express her condolences. “I’m sorry for your loss. I’ve tried to invite my classmates to come. But no one came.”“So many people died. I quite understand the source of their resentment.” Lila deplores solemnly.“What she did wasn’t as bad as you think,” says Jimmy.“But it was so bad in their eyes,” Lila refutes composedly. “I don’t think I can tell this to my parents, and I believe this is also the reason why you’ve kept silent until now. I’m sorry you had to witness everything.”Li
Due to his hatred toward Dwayne, only there does Jimmy’s awkwardness disappear. He approaches the bar, and shows the ticket to the bartender.“They said I can have any kind of drink here for free,” says Jimmy.The bartender takes a glance at the ticket. He then nods coldly, as he keeps wiping the glass.“Give me a scotch,” Jimmy asks.Nonchalantly, the bartender puts the glass in front of Jimmy before he reaches out for a bottle of scotch.However, before that bartender pours the scotch into the glass, Jimmy simply snatches the bottle from him.“It is also said that I can have as much as I want?” Jimmy asks for confirmation.“Are you serious?” The bartender shows a silly smile.“Dude!” Dwayne puts his arm around Jimmy's shoulder. “Just forget it. No one will take you home.”Jimmy coldly shoves Dwayne’s arm away. He walks away by abandoning that bottle liquor there, which of course provokes Dwayne’s laughter even wilder.“That’s it, you wimpy kid! Go back home! It was a mistake for you
Out there, asking a bold question like that to a girl you just met, would probably be considered so rude. But not with this girl.Jimmy's current demeanor actually makes him look so manly in Julia's eyes. The naïve impression of him has completely disappeared. And indeed, for a while, this girl has started to gain some interest.She does have an intention to hook Jimmy up even just for a one night stand, and is even willing to do it for free.But then...“I bet you are still a virgin, so…” she is silent for a moment. “Ten grand, and I will give you the best first experience, something you’ve never imagined even in your wildest imagination.”“Ten grand?” Jimmy raises one of his eyebrows. “What a cheap price for a pussy! I bet you've been hit on by hundreds of dirty and low class men with such a low price!”“What?” The girl is taken aback, clearly looks so offended.“Please, leave!” Jimmy denies her coldly. “I might catch a deadly virus just by being close with you!”The girl stares at
“Yo, dude!” One of the bartenders calls. “You are going to put me into trouble with my boss!”Dwayne glances at the bartender for a moment. He then takes all the money he has in his left trouser pocket before throwing them at him.“If that's not enough, you know where to find me,” he says before turning his attention back to Jimmy.But Jimmy, who has been so used to being bullied, and has even faced death once, can ignore his pain. He immediately grabs a wooden stool, and then slams it at Dwayne’s big muscular body as hard as he might.Dwayne is knocked towards the bar table. Soon, Jimmy swings the stool once more and...“Brak!!!”The stool is broken apart after hitting Dwayne’s back.Dwayne slowly drops to the floor. A moment later, he shakes his head once, holds the bar table with one hand, and tries to get up.Jimmy intends to continue the assault while he has the chance. However, as he only takes one step forward, someone has already hit him on the head with a liquor bottle.Crass
