Arnold felt better than ever.

He'd not still found a way to somehow magically transform the coins the Ghost of Wall Street, Mr Xiu, had given him into money, but he was trying and that was what mattered to him.

The fact that he was trying made all the difference. And, he wouldn't stop trying. Not now. Not ever. It was this resilience that would take him further.

He'd hit a huge milestone that was more than worthy of celebration. He'd not yet completed the chain quests, but he'd finally found an apartment that he liked and he could finally settle down there.

It was far better than he could have ever dreamt of and he was so proud of himself, he could cry from all the emotions passing through him.

When the agent had taken him to see the apartment, he had actually almost cried from awe and relief.

Finally. After days of searching, he'd found an apartment he could call 'The One'. He was moving right up the ladder and it was the best feeling anyone could ever ask for, especially him, co

Now that she had finally seen him up close, he was even hotter. Who knew that a simple grocery run would bring her towards his direction?She picked a few carrots, staring at the sizes a little too long. Her thoughts doubled back to him.

Or, maybe it was because he was beginning to realize how empty his life was beginning to feel like living alone.He should be ecstatic. This was the highlight of his day. The fact that he'd met such a beautiful woman like her. Added to that, the nexus informed him that he had passed the grocery quest. But, something else bugged him.

He'd paid for his gym membership in order to get the extra perks that came with a paid membership as opposed to a free one.

    Arnold stared at the Appraisal skill and the amount beside it, wondering what exactly it was. He hesitated for a minute, hovering over it. Was this skill any good or would he just waste his money purchasing it? He felt the urge to buy it but he also needed to know if it was worth it. As if the system could sense his hesitation (which Arnold was fairly sure it could), a tab opened up to show him a little more about what this Appraisal skill was.[Appraisal skill]- You can view information of objects or of a person.- Skill use will wear off your stamina.[Do you want to purchase this skill for 1,500 lavish points?]"Yes," he said.Immediately the word left his lips, another information popped up:[You have purchased 'Appraisal Skill'][You have 99,000 lavish points remaining]His purchase was successful.

It was his second day at the gym and he was no longer a rookie to the instructor so he went off on his own. He had mapped out what to do. A simple routine he followed strictly.He dropped the weight, sweaty and sticky. His timer had gone off a few minutes ago, but he'd been too carried away to notice. He'd joined the gym because of Lisa but he was beginning to actually like it.He grabbed his hand towel and tried to mop up as much sweat as he could from his skin, but it proved to be a futile move. He sighed. He'd have to quickly take a pee before heading home. He didn't want to shower in the locker room. It would be too rushed. He wanted to get to the comfort of his apartment and take his time to shower until the fog covered every inch of the sliding door of his bathroom.He headed to the shared restroom that had one toilet for women with a bold sign and ano

    Arnold sat in front of the television in his living room that was 'coming together'. Really, it looked like it was coming apart. Like he was moving out instead of moving in. It was the embodiment of emptiness.There was just one sofa, the television, and a small coffee table that looked like it didn't belong there. Everything (which wasn't much to begin with) looked mismatched and out of place. He'd not really put much thought into decorations, but he'd get an interior decorator as soon as he got his life together; which meant as soon as he succeeded with his chain quests. This was his own home and that was all that mattered at the moment.He had returned to his empty home a few hours ago and had spent a long time in the shower just as he had imagined. It was a glorious experience and he was beginning to relish basic, everyday routines. Even though his body ached, it felt good to be able to go out and come in.

That was what made her raise her head to look.Her eyes widened as she watched it happen: — Like a bizarre miracle of biological restoration, the torn tissues reknit, the damaged neurons rewired, and the shattered bone melded back into place.The gunshot wound on Arnold's head had completely disappeared, and his cold body was getting warm, she quickly moved her hand to his wrist to feel his pulse, and her eyes widened wit

    "How? How?? How??!! How are they here? Isn't that darned Larry outside?! Did he let them in?!" Lucas shook with fear, his guess was that Larry had decided to throw him away.The harsh truth was – they stood no chance against this overwhelming might and number of henchmen.The executives had immediately rallied all the gang members, regardless of where they were, all of them were to meet at the location and what was fifty to one was now a situation of fifty to two hundred."Arrrgghhh!! Damn it!! Attack them!! Tear them apart!!" Lucas commanded.

    "Hey... I've given some consideration to what John had to say. This time, haven't we gone a little bit too far?After John had finished speaking, the mood in the room became extremely gloomy. Everyone appeared as if they had completely lost their enthusiasm, and until the bald guy spoke, all of their heads were hanging low in shame."Yes, I am aware of it, but how could any of us have realized what our manager was going through? The boss has never exhibited any symptoms of illness. He never loses his composure and always stays in charge.""And it's possible that this was the reason why he did that." Another possibility was mentioned.They all turned their attention to him and raised their heads."Let's be honest with ourselves, ever since we were subdued by the boss and he started leading us, he had been the one looking out for us more than we did for him. He had been the one looking out for us more than we had done for him. Are you referring to our families? Even when we were being

  • Heartfelt Conversations Or Not

    As Arnold stepped out of his car and started walking forward, he noticed that his leg felt heavy. To his left, in the property of the abandoned warehouse, was parked a nice Chevrolet automobile; not that he gave a damn about the car or its owner, but it was parked there anyway.At this moment, he was simply so preoccupied with other things.As he approached the front of the warehouse, there were guns pointed in his direction. After determining that he was unarmed and doing a search on him, one of the guys got closer to him. After the search, they tied his hand behind his back and pulled him inside in a disrespectful manner."Ahaaaaa!!!" When Lucas saw Arnold being shoved in front of the enormous entryway, he immediately let out an excited exclamation."You have made it! Finally!! We are in complete agreement with one another. He said this while getting closer to Arnold and hugged him tightly before tapping him on the back. After that, he stepped back.“Where is my fiancee?” Arnold g

  • Considering Costs

    Arnold most certainly did not consider the consequences of taking this course of action, or at the very least, before making the choice to adore Jia with every fiber of his being. But who could really hold it against him? When love hits, it strikes harder than any fist, and when it bonds someone, it binds them stronger than even the toughest cords.Jia was willing to accept him in spite of the things he does and how dangerous they are, and despite the fact that he never gave any of this any thought or trouble to think about it, she still selected him every time. Arnold never gave any of these any consideration or bother.However, as a direct result of that, he has caused her a great deal of harm. Arnold did not know whether he was going to be able to face Jia if she ended up losing her pregnant kid on top of everything else that had happened to her. Jia had previously lost her father. After that, he was unsure whether or not he would have the courage or the right to tell her that h
