[ALTERNATE EARTH]Shawn walked to the wardrobe inside the bedroom and opened it.He could see clothes and other accessories of his parents inside the wardrobe and even some of his old clothes that were too small for him to wear now.Inside the Wardrobe, he also found what he was looking for. There was a pair of Dark Gloves placed inside the Wardrobe.The gloves belonged to his mother that she had specially made for herself so that she could go on with life without worrying about destroying everything she touched.These were special items that were made of one of the rarest materials in this world. It was something that could resist the powers of Decay.Unfortunately, it also couldn't resist it for infinity. It also decayed, but it was able to resist many times longer than the most resistant item.Shawn didn't even know how long he could keep the gloves for himself without destroying them. From what he believed, he should be able to get one year of use out of these gloves, but the

There was a grotesque battle happening in front of a cliff. Maximus hid himself among the small trees and bushes and observed the scene in front of him.Two groups in a battle to the death, one appeared to be normal merchants & their bodyguards while the other being a group of bandits. And the merchant side at the losing side in this case. Only two merchants and five bodyguards versus more than twelve Bandits surrounding them. Many of the merchants and bodyguards lay on the ground, their bodies lifeless.Kahn who was watching from thirty meters away from within the plants & bushes could clearly see what was exactly happening. These poor Merchants were ambushed in a well-thought trap. Because on the bandit group side, there were only three casualties and two injured. While the Merchant side having lost more than a dozen men despite having around the same number of people.Maximus rejoiced in his head. He finally found a way to get out of the damn forest and also play the hero part so
Maximus stared at the two old men standing in front of him."These bastards attacking you and me finally finding them at the same time is just a coincidence. Nothing more. " Maximus said as he got up on his feet.The next moment, the elderly took out a pouch full of coins that were bulging out of it" He said,"Lad, take this as a gratitude for saving our lives. I don't have any other way to thank you at the moment. So please accept this. " the elderly man pushed forward the pouch full of coins."Keep it. I don't want your money." Maximus declined. He wasn't here to stay anyway, he just has to find the gold mine and get the hell out of here before those dogs of the Vengeance god finds him.This raised the opinion of him in the eyes of both the men in front of him. Not only did he came in the last moment and saved their lives, even though he did it to avenge his comrades; it was still an unforgettable deed. And then he declined the money as well.In their line of work, just hiring a bod
In a fairly clean bubble tea shop on Southwell Street in Brentwood City, a stunning young woman, who had a pair of sunglasses and bright lipstick on, threw her sun hat on the glass table and said sternly to the young man in front of her,"Christopher Yard,let's break up!""Break up?" The man who went by Christopher immediately froze as he heard what the woman said and only came to his senses after some time before asking."Why?""Why?" With a sneer, Tina Jones repeated what Christopher said sarcastically."You have no car,no house, and no savings! How dare someone like you-who has nothing to your name-ask me why: Christopher, don't you think this is ridiculous enough? A Penniless wretch like yourself doesn't deserve to have a girlfriend!"After saying this, Tina pushed the sunglasses up the bridge of her nose again, and then continued."I won't bother to waste any more of my time with you. Now, tell me-how are you going to compensate me?""Compensate?" Christopher asked with a confuse
Approximately two seconds later...«Ding!»The pointer stopped on the 'Knife Skills Option.'[Congratulations host, you have obtained a Knife Skill Experience Scroll. Your knife skill experience has increased by 100 points, and there are 9900 points of experience before the next upgrade,] the robotic voice said."What the actual f*ck?" Christopher was extremely taken aback by the absurdity of the entire situation, so he couldn't help but let out a curse."Can someone explain to me exactly what is going on here?""Knife skills? Experience Scroll? Are we playing online games here?" Christopher felt that his intelligence was slowly leaving him."What about this Ultimate Awesome Online Mall?" He turned his attention toward the screen again.“What the hell could this be?!”Now that the lottery had already been drawn, he figured he should continue studying this thing further without hesitation, he clicked on the 'Ultimate Awesome Online Mall' app again.«Ding!»It was as if an online store
Christopher felt even more puzzled when he heard Thomas say that with a serious expression. He raised his eyebrow and asked again."What do you mean?”"Don't blame me for not telling you sooner. Thomas said as his lips curled into a frown. Just remember that no matter what happens later, just stay calm and accept whatever comes your way. If you do that, you might still be able to get this month's paycheck. If you don't, hmm..." After saying this, Thomas sneered a few times before turning around and leaving.This made Christopher dumbfounded. Obviously, he didn't know what Thomas was talking about. So, without thinking too much about it, he headed straight into the locker room.As he was changing into his uniform. Leeroy from the Human Resources department approached the changing room and knocked on the door"Christopher Yard, Chef Woods and the managing director are waiting for you inside the meeting room"The managing director!? Christopher was surprised. Hayden was the head chef of
Hayden's tone was stern and Tina was gloating. Christopher, on the other hand, seemed extremely calm, he remained stoic and instead watched the video quietly.He saw himself in the video and it was full of recordings of him on his mobile phone while he was in the kitchen. Besides that, based on the timeframe, the videos were all captured during working hours.At this point, he finally understood what Thomas meant by accepting his fate."Hayden, I don't understand!" Christopher had long anticipated the cause of this entire incident, but he still pretended not to understand anything and he even changed the way he normally addressed Chef Woods to calling him by his name."Don't understand?" How dare he! Almost immediately. Hayden was furious when he heard that Christopher addressed him with his name directly. After touching his shiny forehead, he questioned, "Don't the contents of the video explain themselves?""Using your phone during work hours! Are there any employees like you? You're
