Liam wandered through the aisles of the toy shop, his eyes scanning the shelves for a particular item. 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. Sorry," she replied apologetically.
Liam sighed, a touch disappointed. "Oh, okay," he mumbled, his mind alre

Liam sat in his dimly lit room, hunched over his merchant shop system with a furrowed brow. 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

Liam shifted his gaze away from the sleeping Naomi, her cheeks still stained with the remnants of tears. 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. It displayed his inventory, an ethereal grid of boxes. Among the items listed there was the great potion he had just acquired.Carefully, he took the potion from his inventory, and with trembling ha

He knew that the case of domestic violence he'd just received from Liam Kim was going to require significant attention and care.However, his focused routine was disrupted when his senior officer, Detective Harris, strolled by, a curious glint in his eye. "What's this, Reynolds?" he inquired, snatching up the report playfully. He had intended to tease his junior colleague at first, but as he began to read the contents, his expression shifted from amusement to one of concern.Detective Harris muttered to himself as he scanned the report. "I know this victim," he said, his voice growing somber.Officer Reynolds looked up, surprise in his eyes. "You know her?""Yeah," Detective Harris confirmed with a heavy sigh. "We've had her file reports a couple of times in the past. And, Reynol
The Unadorned Sovereign Chapter 32. Cycle of Misfortune
The doctor stood in the corridor outside the Intensive Care Unit, baffled by what had just transpired. The patient, a woman who had been in critical condition just moments ago, had miraculously improved. Her vital signs had stabilized, and her wounds seemed to be healing at an astonishing rate. 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. I mean, yes," he stammered, struggling to find words to explain the inexplicable. "She's healing much faster than normal. I mean, it's a good thing she's no longer in critical condition. It's just… It's so strange that all I can say is that it's nothing short of a miracle," he finally managed to sa

In the sterile, fluorescent-lit room of the hospital, a doctor in a white coat carefully examined Shanann's condition. Surprisingly, the doctor's expression turned from one of concern to relief. "Well, Ms. Shanann," the doctor began, "your condition appears to have improved significantly since you were admitted a few days ago. You seem to be quite healthy now. However, we still need to keep you here for a few more days, just to be absolutely sure."Shanann nodded, her eyes reflecting a mix of gratitude and curiosity. After the doctor left the room, she couldn't help but turn to her brother, Liam, with a puzzled expression. "What happened?" she asked, her voice filled with uncertainty.Liam gazed at his sister's face, concern etched in his eyes. "Naomi got a call that someone brought you to the Emergency Room," he began softly, "and because of how bad your injury was, they had to move you to the Intensive Care Unit."Shanann's shock was palpable as the pieces of

"So, what's your plan now?" he asked, his voice filled with genuine care.Shanann hesitated for a moment, her thoughts swirling. "I don't know," she finally admitted, her voice soft and uncertain. "I just want to live with my two daughters and have a happy life."Before they could delve further into their conversation, a sudden commotion from outside the room interrupted them. An elderly woman, her face flushed with anger, burst into the room, her voice raised in protest. The nurse at her heels struggled to calm her down and maintain order."Mother-in-law?!" Shanann exclaimed in surprise when she saw the old woman who had barged into the room.The old woman's face contorted with anger, her eyes narrowed as she advanced menacingly toward Shanann. "You ungrateful woman!" she spat, her hand raised, ready to deliver a harsh slap to Shanann's cheek.Shanann, anticipating the blow, reflexively closed her
