Adam in his apartment felt really good and happy and wanted to get something to eat before he thought about what to do throughout the day.

He ordered the same meal he ordered last time, which he loved, the two large steaks and a salad, and when it arrived, sat at his table and began to eat while deep in thought.

​​

Suddenly a thought struck him and he jumped up.

“If I can’t withdraw items from the system, how will I be able to save my Aunt,” he screamed.

{The transferal feature, that the host needs, can be unlocked for 1000 System points and for everything transferred into this reality, based on its power, will have a fee as well} the system informed him.

“So many” he exclaimed in shock.

Adam realised just how stupid it was for him to believe that gold that he could transfer into thousands of dollars would be that easy.

He regretted not saving his gold and spending 300 dollars just to enter a club for a short while and realised just how stupid his frivolous spending was.

He assumed he could unlock other dungeon system features with system points, and instead of changing his gold into system points, he stupidly transferred it all to dollars.

“From now on I will save as much gold as I can, but I need to still be able to make money somehow,” he decided.

A sustainable income would allow him to exchange all his gold for system points, which were most valuable to his strength.

Looking at the time he saw that it was 11 am already and finished his meal quickly, not wanting to waste time.

“What are the best ways to make money that is sustainable,” he mumbled to himself in thought.

As he was deep in thought, the non-smartphone in his pocket began to ring.

Instantly he withdrew his phone, knowing that the only person he had given his number to was Sarah, and answered.

“Hello,”

“Adam, I am sorry I didn’t know that happened to you, and I don’t know how I can return this favour and I am planning to get a loan to open a business and will return your money back and more when I can,”

“Don’t worry about the money, but your business interests me and I was looking to invest right now, do you want to meet up and we can talk and reminisce about the past while we can also talk about your business,”

“Really, amazing, where do you want to meet I am near the hospital,”

“Well do you remember where my apartment is, you can come and I will get you from the entrance,”

“Okay great, I have nothing else to do, so I will be coming now if that’s okay,”

“Perfect, I will be waiting at the entrance, see you then,”

Ending the call, Adam was looking forward to finding a way to earn money but was also very doubtful that someone as young as Sarah would have any useful business plans that would actually be able to earn him money.

Meeting her at the entrance after 10 minutes at leading her up into his apartment, they both sat down in his living room looking at the nice view.

It was slightly awkward, but after spending every day of many years of high school together and previously being very close, they were able to overcome it.

“So, I’m sorry for assuming you were arrogant and I didn’t know what you went through, it’s just that I was going through a hard time,” she said apologetically as she scratched her head.

“Don’t worry about that and we can reminisce over a nice meal later on, but I am more interested in your business idea” said Adam hoping that she could have something beneficial to him.

Adam knew that Sarah was also intelligent, which was another reason they were close friends as similar personalities attract, and was hoping that she really did have a plan for them to earn money.

“Well I have been saving up for my dad’s medical bills and as I have no other family I planned a development and real estate company that can breed profit within weeks, but I needed a loan and my father’s overdue medical bills didn’t allow me to do so and it has been half a year since high school finished and I can barely afford rent” she summarised.

“So my plan was ….” she explained.

She had found many cheap properties on the outskirts or in areas with a bad reputation and after developing and renovating them she would be able to sell or rent them for much more than she bought it.

Her detailed plan shocked even Adam who thought that he was normally prepared, but her preparation was so thorough he had no questions apart from one.

“How much money do you need to begin,” he asked.

“Hmmm, to begin the company itself at least 50,000 dollars” she estimated.

“Well I can transfer you 10,000 now and get you the rest within a few days” he stated unfazed by the massive amount of money,

The decision to spend a few nights worth of gold on this project was a good investment for his future and from her plan, he wouldn’t need to ever change gold into dollars after it begins to pick up.

“You trust me so much to transfer me 10,000 dollars straight away, what if I run away and what if I don’t give you anything,” she asked in surprise.

“I can provide money until the business begins to pick up and it is an investment for me and we split everything 50 / 50, and what reason would I have to doubt my best friend and I have your word anyway,” he answered as he attempted to smile.

However, within his mind, he had already analysed her weaknesses especially her father in the hospital and her life itself.

Subconsciously his Hunter Mind made him think about everything analytically, logically and ruthlessly.

“Perfect we can make up a contract right here and now so you are reassured as my word means nothing in court,” she stated.

She made a long contract on the computer in Adam’s room and printing it out they both signed and agreed that the ownership and profit split would be even between them and Adam would only act as a shareholder and has no obligation to work, but can still make decisions.

Sending her 10,000 she realised that she no longer had a place to stay due to having missed her rent.

“Don’t worry about it you can stay in the guest room for as long as you like and when you earn money you can leave or split the rent” he offered nonchalantly.

“By the way why were you at the club and who were those guys,” he asked remembering what had happened.

“Oh yeah, are you okay that guy had a knife” she exclaimed in worry, also remembering what had occured.

“Don’t worry, you should probably be more worried for them” he said with a wry smile.

All she knew was that he was against three men and one had a knife before she fainted, but remembering his muscly body she assumed he was good at fighting.

“So you beat up three men and one had a knife,” she asked with her mouth gaping in awe.

Adam had always been a skinny kid and was quite weak and bad at sport in school and would spend most of his time with friends, studying, gaming or watching shows and reading books.

“Um, well…., ah yeah, I took karate,” he stated while stuttering thinking about what to say.

Looking deep into his red eyes she was mesmerised and realised just how much her best friend had changed.

“What about your eyes do you were contact lenses now to make them red,” she asked.

“Yes, something like that” he replied.

Having a friend around him made him happy and he felt that he was normal again and also wanted to meet his other best friends.

“How are Cole and Emma,” he asked trying to change the subject off of him.

Sarah was still dazed by how fast everything happened and after two years and a half, she met her old best friend who had a complete change in every way and not only paid her fathers medical bills, but also invested in her plans.

“Cole and Emma are dating and I think they may be in college, but what you have done for me now will not be forgotten and I will repay it” she informed Adam.

“We should all meet up as I haven’t made any friends or had a good time since I left high school” he suggested.

“That reminds me, I wasn’t going to go before because of my rough situation, but now we can go together to the high school reunion that is going to be in Maxwell 5 Star Restaurant next week,” she says hinting at them going as a couple.

“Yeah why not” he replied reluctantly, but didn’t want to hurt her feelings.

[Sarah’s business idea, our relatives in a similar situation in the same hospital and the Maxwell Family again. So many coincidences, fate really does work in mysterious ways. I guess life during the day is going to be more busy and interesting now]
