"Delivery!"
"Slurp... slur- cough, cough!"
Ken, who is slurping his cup noodles in front of his computer, heard the shout of the delivery man.
He was surprised and choked on the noodles he was eating.
Ken hurriedly drank so water to push the food down to his stomach.
"Phew~ I almost died because of noodles!" He said, looking at the noodles in his hands with a horrified look.
Shaking his head, Ken hurriedly stood up from his chair, and because of his inattentiveness, the cup noodles in his hands fell down on his lap, splashing him with hot water.
"Aw, aw, Ouch! Ouch!"
But even though the pain made him burst the air out of his lungs, Ken still gritted his teeth and ran to the door.
Ken opened the door, and saw the delivery man standing there.
The delivery man also looked back at Ken, then his eyes went down on Ken’s lap where the noodles fell.
The delivery man looked at Ken again with weird eyes.
But even with that, the delivery man still did his job professionally,
"Uhm, here’s your parcel, sir!"
Ken took the small box about the size of his head, from the courier.
Excitent flashed on Ken’s eyes, not minding the weird look the delivery man is giving him.
After taking the parcel, Ken closed the door and hurriedly ran back to his computer.
When he was about to sit back down, he saw the ss he made again, then turned to look at his pants.
"Hays..."
Ken went to grab so towel first and wet it with water to clean up the noodle soup at the computer.
Next, he took a change of clothes and headed to the bathroom to wash his body since the soup made him feel sticky.
20 minutes later
Ken got out of the bathroom looking fresh and cool.
He went to the kitchen to drink so cold water before coming back to the computer.
The parcel that Ken left is still there sitting on the computer table.
When he looks at that thing, Ken’s eyes inevitably show so excitent to it.
He hurriedly picked it up, and started unboxing the parcel.
What ca to sight after the box was removed was a helt looking thing with a sci-fi vibe to it.
"Haha, this is the start of my great story!"
Ken laughed happily for so ti before he started to calm down.
"The ga should be about to start now."
He looked at the ti on his computer and saw that it’s already 11:30 AM.
"30 more minutes before the ga starts, huh."
Ken cald himself, then lay on his computer chair and closed his eyes.
"I’ll wait until 11:50 before I log in." Ken muttered,
"This ti, I won’t die again like a waste."
Ken said those words full of determination.
Ken was actually soone who ca back to the past, like those so-called rebirth from the web novels these days.
But unlike those in the novels who travelled back years back, Ken only travelled back 2 months worth of ti.
The day before the launch of the ga [Real Life Online]
In his last life, Ken was not so powerhouse or anything, he was just so above average player trying to enjoy his ga.
Actually he would have ended up being diocre if not for his talent in the ga and his ager luck.
But even with the talent that he has, Ken still died after 2 months the ga was launched.
Well, that is because Ken was unfortunate and was t with his demise at the hands of a Legendary Boss Monster from [Real Life Online].
As for how he really died if it’s just because of the monster in the ga, well....
One month after the ga was launched, the ga developers announced on their social dia that [Real Life Online] was actually a totally real another world!
Not the kind of realistic ga, kind of real, but a REAL other world!
They also said that because of so mistakes on their side, both worlds are gonna start integrating!
At first, people thought it was just a joke from the developer.
But on that sa day, rifts in space started appearing all over the world and so monsters even started coming out!
Because of this, people panicked and there will inevitably be people who’ll die because of this.
Luckily, there was no high level monster that ca out, because of that firearms were still able to kill those monsters.
From then on, monsters are not just fictional things inside novels and gas, but also started appearing in the real world.
Also, after the rifts appeared, the players of the ga [Real Life Online] also started manifesting their ga characters into the real world.
Hence, the Era of Player started!
...
11:50 AM
*Bzzzt Bzzzt!*
Ken opened his eyes, the cellphone on his hand vibrating because of the alarm.
After he turned off the alarm, he got up from his seat and headed to his bed with the helt-like thing or the headgear in his arms.
Ken lay down in a comfortable
Without thinking much, he thought of that as the best solution right now.
So he face his mother and ask, "Mom, do you have a gold coin?"
His mother thought for a mont before answering, "Well I think I put a gold coin on the saving that I have been keeping for your future," Sophia said, "Why do you ask?"
"I want to use the gold coin for to practice my magic and to also maybe earn us money,"
"Is that alright? Won’t that cause you to be too exhausted?" she pause, then she put her hands on his small shoulders and look into his eyes,"If you are just doing this for , then you don’t have to, baby, I don’t want you to work yourselve to the bone like a slave, okay?"
"Don’t worry, mom. I will just try what I can do!" I told her, to ease her worry,
"Hmmm.. Okay then. I will give you a gold coin later," Sophia said after she thought about it for a mont.
"Thanks mom, I will do my best!" I was happy because, now I will be able to make much more than yesterday.
After we finish our food, I volunteered to wash the dishes, and told Mom to just relax in there. When I was putting the washed dishes to the rack, I notice a fruit, on the top of another rack. I inspect it and then grab it to show it to my mom.
I went to the living room where mom is in. I hold up the fruit the look like a grape for her to see and I asked,"Mom, whats this?" I said while tilting my head,
Mom look at it and said," Oh you found that already? I was going to surprise you with that later but, it’s okay I guess." She said and pause, then continued,"That is a magic fruit, a fruit that is differentiate that on other common fruit is that it have magical energy inside it. It can be use to strenghten the magic of whoever eat it." Then she grab the grape like fruit, and continued,
"But this one is of a low grade kind fruit. I can only buy this one because we don’t have much money, so I’m sorry okay?" she said with a sad expression on her face.
When I saw that I felt the love of my Mom for and told her, "Don’t worry, Mom. This is more than enough for . You don’t have to worry about money, I can just make it until we beclo rich!" I said with a little tear in the side of my eyes.
My mom smile at , and rub my hair.

After that episode, I tried to multiply the fruit because mom said that is was pretty valuable. But this ti, there is nothing happen, I just depleted my mana. I hyphotesise that it was because this one contain mana inside of it, and with it it will need much more mana to multiply it than the coin and currently I don’t enough mana for it.
So, I put my focus on the gold coin. Just like that I multiplied many gold coins, and whats more, it just comsu a little more mana than the gold.
Starting that day I put my focus on practicing my magic and multiplying gold coins. Then a week pass by, I take out the magic fruit to try and multiply it because in this week my mana increase much.
Oh if you’re asking where I put the fruit, well it is from my skill [Item Box] that I bought on the system. I was lucky at that ti, I saw there the skill with a Discount Promo written on it. Without hesitation I bought it, My token then beco Zero.
