And then, without warning, the television screen went blank, cutting off the disturbing news abruptly. The remote control, gripped tightly and then slammed onto the floor, shattering into pieces.
"Look at your son!" Grandpa's voice was laced with anger as he turned to his wife. "This good-for-nothing son of yours still manages to bring shame upon our family at his age. This is why you should not have pampered him so much."

He turned this way and that, brows furrowing as he couldn't seem to locate what he was looking for. Frustration crept in, and he decided to approach the counter for assistance."Excuse me," he began politely, addressing the young lady behind the counter. "I want to buy Gameboys, but it seems I don't see them anywhere."The young lady, her attention seemingly elsewhere, stared at him with vacant eyes. Liam waved his hand in front of her, attempting to regain her focus. "Hello? Excuse me?""Huh? Huh?" The young girl blinked, snapping back to the present. "Yes? What can I help you with?""I want to buy Gameboys, but it seems I don't see them anywhere," Liam repeated, slightly puzzled by her vacant demeanor."Oh, we've sold out of those.

He had been meticulously browsing through various potions for hours, each one a potential lifeline for his ailing mother. The weight of his responsibilities bore down on him, and his face remained etched in seriousness.Suddenly, the sound of the front door being flung open interrupted his concentration. Liam quickly closed the system, his sister Naomi and little brother Jun having returned from school."Liam!" Jun exclaimed, his eyes lighting up as he rushed toward his older brother, wrapping his small arms around him in a tight hug.Naomi followed, her expression curious. "What were you looking at with such a serious face?" she inquired.Liam hesitated for a moment, his serious demeanor shifting to one of sadness. "It's nothing, just...," he began before trailing off.Naomi's face mirrored her brother's sorrow. "Like I said before, the doctor mentioned that it might be because Mom has been ma

Liam kept his composure, his expression flat and unmoved as his grandfather hurled insults at him. It was clear that none of the insults had any effect, and when his grandfather finally realized this, he fell silent, his gaze still locked onto Liam, but now filled with anger."Let's get to the point," Liam's grandfather finally said, his tone heavy with seriousness. "I know you're the one who reported your uncle to the police. Take back your report, and I will consider forgiving all your doings right now," he added solemnly.A faint chuckle escaped Liam's lips as he struggled to contain his laughter at his grandfather's conclusion. He couldn't help himself, finding the situation utterly absurd.Liam's grandfather slammed his hand on the table in frustration. "What are you laughing at? Do as I said while I'm still being nice," he demanded.It took a moment for Liam to regain his composure and stop laughing. "Ah, I'm sorry. It was my first time hearing a joke in a long time," he sighed.

"Jun said that you've been spacing out for a few days. Is that true?" Naomi asked, her voice filled with concern as she handed over a plate of dinner to Liam and Jun.Liam smiled shyly, accepting the plate. "Yeah, I guess I've been a bit distracted," he admitted.Naomi looked down at her own food for a few moments before finally speaking up. "You know, if the burden's getting too heavy, I can always drop out and start working," she said, her voice soft and tentative.Liam nearly choked on his food, surprised by her suggestion. "Why are you thinking like that?" he asked, his concern mirrored in his eyes.Naomi remained silent, her gaze fixed on her food as she pushed it around on her plate.Liam let out a sigh, realizing the weight of his recent behavior on those around him. "You don't need to worry about money. Just study hard, okay? I'll take care of everything else. I've been dozing off, maybe I haven't been doing enough for too long, so I've bee

Her exhaustion had finally claimed her, granting her a temporary respite from the emotional turmoil that had wracked her during the day. Liam didn't want to wake her; she needed every moment of rest she could get.With a soft voice, almost a whisper, he addressed the mysterious system that had come into his life in the most unexpected way. "System, buy a great potion," he requested, his words cautious as he didn't want to disturb Naomi's slumber."Great potion has been purchased. Check your inventory," replied the system, its voice echoing softly in Liam's mind.Liam's fingers danced in the air as if he were plucking something from thin air, and a transparent window appeared before him.

Though she remained unconscious, her appearance had shifted from that of a gravely ill patient to someone peacefully asleep.As he exited the ICU, still lost in his daze of disbelief, he was startled by a voice. "Is there something?" Liam, the patient's guardian, inquired as soon as he noticed someone emerging from the ICU.The doctor, unable to conceal his astonishment, turned to face Liam. "Ah, no.
