"Welcome home young master." Our butler Davi greets me while opening the front door.
"Yeah—" As I was about to hand him my bag, a person suddenly jumped into me hugging me tight.
"Mom!?" I shout, surprised and stumbled back by mom's sudden hug.
"I miss you my dear baby!." She squealed happily as I twirl her around, carrying her one handedly.
"I didn't know you'd come visit me here with dad..!" I smiled happily. Though Davi already told me beforehand that she was coming home this afternoon yesterday, but it wouldn't hurt acting like I didn't right..?
"I just missed you so much that as soon as I landed back here in UK from Spain— I drove back here to get you!" She replied. "My shoot ended a week early since I have an upcoming event to visit this saturday."
"That's great!" I replied, placing her down.
My mom is an actress, a famous one at that. Many movie directors have been proposing to her and sending her their script in their new movie idea in case she'll be interested on it and as hard working as her— she'd always accept it unless it's a clear shit show of a movie.
It was clear that she came here directly from the airport, she looks quite tired from the flight and her make up from her shoot is still there.
My whole appearance except from my father's deep blue eyes was inherited from her. My hair color, my tanned skin color, my exact aura and even skills. It's like I'm her carbon copy is what others would say, but I pretty much think I'm more like my dad.
"I already talked about it to Caesar that I'd be taking you with me to my house now that I've arrived." She said.
Looks like I was too happy for nothing, here I thought we'd finally be able to eat together as a family but looks like that won't happen today.
"Oh.. Is that so, I'll go pack my bags now then!." I replied, not showing her even a slightest bit of my disappointment.
We were now on our way to her house, 30 minutes away from dad's house. A beige anf white victorian manor, with bohemian interior design. It's vibe was just like my mother, it seemed like it was her type of freedom.
"It's been a while since I've last eaten any of your dish baby, will you cook for mom today please..?" She said with a baby voice, like I was still a child.
She always asks me to cook her something, and she prefers something warm and tasty soup and a cheesy garlic bread especially when she just got home from her work. I have no complaints about it since I actually love cooking for her and it makes me feel happy that she's always craving my food after she comes home.
"Sure.. I'll start preparing it now." I replied smiling softly and walking towards the direction of her kitchen.
There was no need in preparing some soup that has long cooking process since I know she'll fall asleep from her fatigue any longer— So a mushroom soup and cheesy garlic bread would just do good since it's a bit easy and quick to prepare. And just as I predicted she immediately falls asleep in the couch after she finished eating.
It's like she's not my mom but my daughter. I chuckled, as I carried her in my arms to her bedroom.
"Geez." I muttered, tucking her into her blanket and leaving her room.
The distance to Lucian Academy and my mom's house were much more shorter compared to dad's house. So it has been quite advantageous for me however, I'd be much more busy this month since my mom would usually accept acting roles for me when it's her time taking care of me.
I don't hate acting but, I don't like it that much either not as much as my like towards cooking— and if I had to choose, I'd honestly prefer cooking than acting but there's no way I'd tell mom about that. I feel like she'd be heartbroken if she hears about it.
It was already night time, and as usual Seb invited me to play with him but this time together with that female player he's been playing and the one he replaced me for. I'd usually refuse his invites since I'm not particularly interested but this time, I'm honestly curious about this female player who won a bet against our Seb and requested his item and Seb actually agreed to it, so I accepted it.
Ting.
[Woooomf] summ_dimz : you're here.
[Independent] _gail : hello.
[Woooomf] mon_leo : wassup lol.
Independent..? I thought Seb already recruited her in our guild.
[Woooomf] mon_leo : so this is _gail whom I've been hearing about.
[Independent] _gail : lmao wdym by that.
[Woooomf] summ_dimz : shut up leo.
Seeing _gail's avatar looks like Seb really lost a bet since she's currently still wearing his boots, though I thought she's only borrowing it for a day. Dear friend, are you sure you are not getting scammed..?
[Woooomf] summ_dimz : we're helping her conquer the dungeon in dead valley today.
[Woooomf] mon_leo : didn't you say she'll be clearing it yesterday?
[Woooomf] summ_dimz : yeah I did, but unfortunately she failed.
[Independent] _gail : even with summ_dimz's legendary boots it was still impossible for me.
[Woooomf] mon_leo : ah, that is such a pity. don't worry we'll help you lol.
[Independent] _gail : thanks sm!
[Woooomf] summ_dimz : you're welcome.
[Woooomf] summ_dimz : I'll add you to our guild temporarily so that you can join us conquering the dungeon together.
[Independent] _gail : oke.
Ting.
[A temporary new member "_gail" has joined your guild
Is that dungeon from the dead valley hard to conquer..?
.....Ah. It seems like it is...
Who would've thought a thousand dead ghoul that can use magic would be emerging as one once you defeat all of them.
By _gail's character as a close combat attacker and stealth master avatar, this is honestly such a one sided kill by this boss.
You would've need a shield tank and a healer for this, this is a total battle of defense and endurance for our characters. If I had known this was a tricky boss that is need of healer I would've forced Eli to come join us.
Almost out of HP and MP, potion bottles are almost out.
[Woooomf] summ_dimz : this ##### is stubborn.
[Woooomf] _gail : but at least we're now close to defeating it. i could never go pass half of this guy's HP and MP yesterday at all.
[Woooomf] mon_leo : this little #### must be a ###### bug.
And then we got annihilated by the boss. Seb was frustrated like hell that he called me on my phone to crash out. It was very frustrating, it has to be a bug. I'm already aware that boss monsters in dead valley are abomination and hard to defeat but that boss was out of the league and the most frustrating part is that we almost killed it but we were then killed in its another finishing move after running out of healing potions.
We swore that we'd be back tomorrow evening with out healer Eli and Zack our another attacker to heal our frustration.
"That boss bastard is rigged." I muttered going through my profile in Terranox.
Friend suggestions section came up and the username "rielxtra_" came out.
"This is that guy from the Sper right..?" I slightly grinned and tapped on the add friend button.
[Friend request sent.]
This rielxtra_ is actually quite famous virtual streamer in Twitch as well as noobyz_. Maybe someday we'd be getting closer after he accepts my friend request and I'd be able to get some tips from him in playing this game.
I grinned excitedly.
"I hope he accepts it." I muttered, stalking his profile.
