Chapter 91 - Episode 91: Good Things.

I scoff and shake my head. A maid knocks on the door and she's bringing my coffee. I thank her and she bows then leaves the room. I'm holding the letter and the coffee while walking to his dining table. Then I continue reading the letter.

[First, this mansion is mine, and even though that it will become my parents' mansion after I'm gone, this mansion is yours. I know my parents so well that they won't be living in this mansion because of how hard it would be for them. So we agreed to allow you to use the mansion. If can, you should move in there. I feel bad for Ernes and everyone who is working in the mansion for not doing anything. If you're there, I believe they all would be happy to serve you since you're close with them all.

Second, since you are going to start living in the mansion. I already prepared everything for you. Remember the fingerprint scanners around the mansion? Yeah, I already have your fingerprints and added them to the security system. How did I get your fingerprints? Remember the cup of coffee I offered you that night? Yeah, I used it and took it! I'm cool, right? It was like doing a sci-fi movie. So yeah, you can enter every single room in the mansion.

Third, when you enter the gaming room, go to the computer and open a folder on the desktop. Honestly, I don't think you will be ready for it, so just prepare yourself when you open it. Oh, and another thing. Sev is living on that computer, she can be your assistant in real life. I thought it was cool to let her out from the game and let her explore the virtual world other than in a game.

Lastly, I want you to keep in touch with my parents. It's hard for them to lose their one and only child. They also said to me that you're a good person and they really like you. I want them to be happy but I can't do it. You're the only friend and best friend that I had. I really hope that you and my parents can get along.

Yeah... I think that's it.

Ohh, there's one last thing. You can get all the items in the game if you want to. All you have to do is ask Sev and she will give it to you. But I know you won't do that. So I'm just telling you that.

My hand is getting tired, I think I will end this letter now. Thank you for everything, Trev. I hope you're enjoying the game with your new friends! And May the Betelgeuse bless you.]

I smile and fold the letter and put it in my pocket. I notice that the cup is already empty. I look at his gaming room and walk toward it. I see the fingerprint scanner and put my hand on it.

*Clack*

I open the door and it's still the same as the last time I came in here, but two pods are missing. I know that one of them is in my house, but the one that Becker used is missing. I look around the room and then sit on the chair in front of the computer. I turn it on and there's a password on it. I have no idea what the password is, so I shut it down and leave the room. Then I say goodbye to Ernes and leave the mansion.

I'm at the front of my house and about to put my car in the garage but I see Emma and William are leaving the house. I look at them.

"Where are you going?"

Emma is waving at me then approaches me.

"We are going to buy a lot of meat and vegetables! We are going to barbecue tonight!"

I scoff and tilt my head toward my car.

"Get in, I'll drive."

Emma is grinning happily and then Emma and William get inside the car.

Emma went shopping and bought a lot of clothes, watches, bags, and other things before we buy some groceries. She bought William a few clothes and shoes as well. After that, we bought a lot of premium quality meat and some vegetable. We also bought wines and some beverages, then we went home.

I log in to the game while Emma and William are lazing in the living room. I check the forum and see what's going on right now. Then a thread piques my interest. It's about Aksevel and his new legendary weapon. There are so many videos of him uploaded to Utube. Dozens of his summoned monsters were killing the high level monsters areas without doing anything and watch them while gaining a lot of EXP. Then I realize that he's inside the Maelstrom of Abyss dungeon. He solo-ed the dungeon. I read some of the comments and one of them said that someone offered him 60 million dollars to Aksevel but he rejected it.

I'm on my way to check the Maelstrom of Abyss dungeon. As always, Kingstar and his raid teams are standing on the cliff. I check on the whirlpool and so many players are jumping into it. I guess they all are trying to beat it. But looking at the phase, the whirlpool is currently at the calm phase so anyone should be able to clear it. I believe that Kingstar and his raid teams are waiting for the thunderstorm phase.

Kingstar sees me and he immediately approaches me.

"Are you going to clear the dungeon?"

I shake my head while keep staring at the whirlpool.

"No, I'm not in the mood to do so. How's your progress on clearing the thunderstorm phase?"

Kingstar shakes his head.

"We barely survived the first stage. It's not the monsters that are hard, but the mechanics of the stages that are quite hard to handle. Especially with so many players. It's hard to dodge the bubbles."

I'm humming with understanding. Then I'm pointing at the whirlpool.

"If you're going to attempt to clear the thunderstorm phase, find the coral that produced the bubbles. Destroy it and make sure you destroy it before it mass-produced the bubbles when it about to die."

Kingstar is looking at me weirdly.

"How did you know about that? Have you tried to clear it?"

I shrug and smirk.

"Who knows. Ohh and one last thing. There are a few corals that will help you in every stage. Use it carefully and you'll be able to enter the boss stage easier and faster."

Kingstar is about to say something, but I cut him off.

"I'll wait for your progress. I came here to check out the dungeon. Good luck and I'll see you later..."

I open my friend list tab and check where's everyone is at. Ivonna and the others are in Fjel town. I immediately walk there to see them.

Ivonna and Francesca are pointing at the empty field while having a conversation. Grisell and the rest of them are walking around the empty field that Ivonna and Francesca are pointing at. I approach them.

"What are you guys doing?"

Francesca is waving at me and then pointing at the empty field.

"We already got the permission from the chief town to build a house here. So we are looking for a perfect location to build it."

I look at Grisell and the others.

"But that is such a huge land. How much you guys paid to build the house?"

Ivonna looks at me and tilts her head.

"We spent 10.000 Gold."

I look at them both with disbelief.

"That's the highest price to build a house... Are you going to make an Inn, Smithing, and Pub or something?"

Ivonna chuckles and nods.

"Yeah, you're right. We are going to make those facilities for the newbies in the future. Grisell can sell her works and we can make a pub for them and a place to find a party. Maybe we can also give them some tips for them."

Francesca sighs and looks at me.

"You know her. No matter what, she will help players. But it's up to her because if someday she's exhausted from it, I won't help her."

I scoff and Ivonna is smiling while shaking her head.

We talk about other things after that. Then I log out from the game since I have to help Emma and William. I go upstairs and I see Emma and William are busy preparing the plates and putting the meat and vegetables on them. I approach them and help them out.

It's evening and we go outside and put those plates on the table in the backyard. I'm preparing the grill while Emma and William are seasoning the meat. We then grill the meat and vegetables while drinking a glass of wine.

Emma stands beside me while watching the meat.

"So, where were you this morning?"

I tilt my head while keeping an eye on the meat.

"To the place we are going to stay in for the next few weeks."

Emma is oohing with excitement.

"Where is it? Is it a fancy villa? Is there a pool that we can use?"

I look at her and scoff while shaking my head.

"You're too much asking. Just wait and you will be surprised."

Emma is frowning and booing.

"You're such a party pooper..."

I chuckle mischievously.

After all the meat is cooked, we are preparing the table and eat them. It's so delicious and juicy, especially with the wine, it makes it ten times better. We are enjoying the evening and laughing at something silly. It's been a while since I feel this way. I used to be on my own and thinking about nothing but myself. I guess living with them is not that bad after all and I'm happy to have them here with me.
