My eyes became wide open. My phone was ringing in a few second intervals.
Rolling to the side of the bed I grabbed my phone and quickly looked at its screen.
Hundreds of notifications about the game's update flooded the media. Almost every single news was related to the currency exchange.
Yawning, I stood up and scratched my back. I was still sleepy...
Wanting to fully awaken I chose to take a cold shower.
Sure enough, even being near the cold water gave me slight goosebumps.
After cleaning myself I descended down the stairs only to see a note written by parents stating that they've already left for work. They also mentioned that there's two fried eggs in the fridge.
Reading the note I almost teared up. How loving can they be?
Eating breakfast with the smile I was already on my phone, looking for affordable houses on sale.
One of the houses that caught my eyes was a fifteen minutes drive by car.
Problem is we don't have a car. Well I can just catch a taxi.
The other house I found was approximately 80 miles away and was inside a rich people district. Even though it would take most of the money I had it wouldn't be comparable to the other houses.
Looking through the pictures of the house I thought that it looked more than a palace. Huge rooms, multiple bathrooms, even a swimming pool, everything was included.
Even though it looked perfect the most important thing was security. The house had high fences with electricity running through them, the district was always patrolled by police, to even enter the district one needs to have a document allowing one to trespass or proving that one is living here.
Creating an appointment to check out the house I turned off my phone and quickly ran to my room. I was in need to sell some of my items, quickly!
Jumping in my VR pod I put on my head gear and soon lost consciousness transferring into the game.
My eyes opened allowing me to see treetops of the dark forest trees. Something sticky was covering my face. Trying to brush it off I felt something hot brush past my cheek.
Momentarily paralyzed I somehow managed to push away the ruthless creature and wiped my face.
I was completely covered in saliva.
Apparently my trustworthy wolf decided to drown me. Washing my face in the nearby lake I glared at Fenrir who had his puppy eyes directed at me. Even though he acted cute I noticed a smirk playing on his lips.
Gnashing my teeth I transferred my words to my familiar.
' No cooked meat today '
I almost let out a giggle seeing Fenrir's eyes lose glow and his constantly moving tail stop in place.
His act completely dropped. I saw him genuinely cry in agony. I felt bad and almost wanted to forgive him for his sins, but held myself back.
' I need to teach him '
Strengthening my resolve I gestured Fenrir to follow me and ran towards the City. Even unsatisfied, my pet followed me with the intention to somehow make up for his mistake.
Running into the city I noticed some players gathering here and there. Luckily I was already wearing a hood and nobody noticed me.
Or that's what I thought...
Entering the shop of Oliver's relative I noticed no line and walked up straight to the counter.
Exchanging greetings with the cashier I quickly spoke of my intentions and showed the items I wanted to sell.
Listing all the items I wanted to sell took me a minute, but since I had to be at the house I wanted to buy in a few hours it felt like an hour.
Selling all the loot I gathered from the cave I managed to get over 40k gold.
Quickly thanking the cashier I left the game and tied my bank account with my game account.
I wasn't a millionaire yet, but I could be considered moderately rich.
Wearing my best clothes I went out to catch a taxi. Even though I was lucky to find a taxi pretty quickly, the way towards the house was full of traffic. It took me around two hours to get to the meeting place.
Fortunately I was perfectly on time. I was greeted by a real estate agent. We shook hands and had a small talk before he showed me all around the house.
Honestly, the house was perfect. It was not too luxurious, but not too shabby as well. The security was good, it looked pretty and most importantly my parents would be happy.
After a few discussions we finally came to a deal and after signing some papers and after paying the prize, the house was officially mine.
After the agent left I noticed that I had a quarter of my previous wealth left.
I decided to start moving in the house immediately. Calling my parents I told them that I'm going to be home late and that tomorrow they shouldn't go to work.
Even though they were reluctant to skip a work day hearing my serious voice they agreed.
Clenching my fists I raised them in the air and sighed from relief.
' My close ones are safe! '
My shoulder became lighter when another heavy burden was erased.
Sitting on the comfortable sofa I drowned in its softness and almost fell asleep, but a strong sense of duty to move in as fast as possible kicked in.
First thing I did was make plans for a truck to come to our old house and help us transfer our stuff.
Making sure that everything is set, I also thought about buying a car. I've always wanted a cool car that I could drive at fast speeds, but our financial situation didn't allow it.
Funnily enough, now that I had some wealth I wasn't that attracted towards buying a ton of expensive things in one day. I felt that it would be unwise.
I was stingy with my money. They were hard earned after all.
In the end I settled with not buying a car right now. Catching a taxi I drove to the nearest furniture shop deciding to decorate the house a bit...
