After the food arrived, we ate and I retired to bed early.
Walking through the house, big enough to call a labyrinth I spent around two minutes to find my room.
Entering I saw a VR Pod put at the right corner of the room.
Since I was tired and in no mood to play I simply fell on the bed and let the soft mattress devour .

Sweating profusely I jolted awake.
" Fucking nightmares! "
I cursed while rolling out of my bed. My whole body was covered in sweat and I was slightly trembling.
Looking at the clock the frown on my face beca bigger.
[ 04:16 ]
Leaving my room I went to take a shower. With cold water I managed to fully wash away the nightmare.
Going back into my room I tried to sleep, but soon gave up.
Descending downstairs I found my parents already asleep lying on the couch.
I noticed a few wine bottles and made a ntal note to hide all the alcohol. Taking a blanket I threw it on them before leaving the mansion.
Standing outside I took a deep breath of fresh and cold air. Wearing one of my usual hoodies and running shoes I started slowly jogging through the streets.
As far as I can rember I preferred cold more than hot, whether it'll be Ice cream or weather. Running through the neighborhood I saw many different houses that were no different than palaces with so even engraved with gold.
Looking at such houses I couldn't help, but raise my eyebrow. I couldn't quite get why soone would want such an expensive decoration.
' Rich People stuff '
Shrugging it off I ran further down the street. As I was about to run out of steam I reached the middle of this district.
In the middle there stood a huge building with various constructions all around it. Since it was a very famous place I knew its na.
" Preklin University... "
My mind slightly wandered off thinking about all the things that happened in my past life.
' So of the Powerful players go to this facility and next year, when she gets enough recognition the strongest player will attend it as well '
Thinking about everything about the University, I couldn't help, but shake my head.
' I have no ti to do such activities, at least for now '
Stretching my legs I started slowly jogging back ho.

[ 06:43 ]
Looking at the clock on the wall I was a bit startled by how much ti I've spent only running. Well, it should be given, because this neighborhood is humongous.
Going to the kitchen I made so breakfast for myself and my parents. While the pancakes were still in the pan I heard so notices co from the living room.
Soon my father with both hands on his head stumbled into the kitchen. He seed in pain, but I didn't even think of confronting him.
' You drank too much, old man '
I murmured while giving him a glass of water. As soon as he drank all of the water I pushed him back on the sofa saying that the breakfast will be ready in 15 minutes.
As soon as pancakes were ready, I covered or more specifically drowned them in syrup.
Gesturing dad to wake up mom, I sat on the table waiting for the rest of my family to gather.
Soon I found both of my parents stumbling into the kitchen with my dad holding a certain woman that seed to swing in all sides.
Sohow managing to take a seat my mother exchanged a few greeting words before looking at the contents of the table.
Her drunken mood suddenly disappeared with shock, temporarily painting her face.
" When did you learn how to cook? "
She couldn't help, but question while devouring pancakes one by one.
I couldn't help, but let my Ego expand by hearing such comnts. It was my mother who praised after all.
" I've seen soone do it on the internet "
I quickly though of an excuse. In reality I had to learn how to cook, after they were killed. I felt my face slightly stiffen and I unknowingly started clenching my fist until nails pierced through my skin.
Only after I felt blood flowing through my palms did I notice how I've managed to injure myself.
I was slightly concerned for myself.
' My rage is a bit too much, I need to relax or else I'll bleed to death '
All of my thoughts went in the sa direction. It was just hard to find how to relax in an environnt where ti is money.
Shrugging my shoulders I grabbed so napkins to wipe off the blood before my parents could notice.
' I have so serious issues '
I thought as I threw the napkins into the bin. Suddenly an Idea ca to my mind.
" Mom, Dad, what do you think about getting a dog? "
I asked while putting another pancake into my mouth. I felt as if the dog would help deal with stress more easily. I wouldn't mind having another hairy companion as well.
This slightly surprised my parents.
" Aren't you... Allergic to dogs? "
My mother proposed a question that managed to make my mind go blank for a second.
" It was 10 years ago "
I managed to connect words to make a sentence. I've completely forgotten about this issue.
Seeing my mother's worried face I couldn't help, but smile.
" It'll be alright "
I assured them that no problem would arise, even though I had no clue how'd it go myself.
' Well at worst I can just let my parents take care of the dog '
I thought while cleaning the dishes. My parents insisted on helping , but I shooed them away saying that they are retired.
Giving them a bank card with enough money I instructed them to go to a nearby shopping center and buy sothing for themselves.
Even though they didn't want to spend the money, I didn't listen to any complaints, before kicking them off the house until they bought sothing for themselves.

" And no alcohol! "
When a taxi arrived I quickly bid them goodbye before telling them about a new rule which seed to impact my mother quite harshly.
