"It has every modern facility you could ask for. There's Self Driving as well that has long been perfected by our company. You can go on a long drive with your wife in this car, and you can turn the Self-Driving on while you spend romantic moments with your wife. Its Price is only $3.5 million," the salesman said.
Alice was initially stunned as she saw him call her Ryder's wife, but Ryder didn't correct him. She wondered what it meant, but her expressions soon changed to shock as she heard the price.
She felt like the time was near. Soon, they would be thrown out for wasting their time despite not having money.
"Alright. I'll take the Whirlwind. Can you prepare everything for me? I'll wait here," Ryder told the man.
"Sure, Sir. Can you give me your digital citizenship number? I'll prepare everything, and then you can complete the payment," the man told them.
"It's RY19970103Fl," Ryder replied.
"Great. You can wait on the sofa; I'll be right back," The man said.
"May! Get some cold drinks for them," He told the assistant that was following him before he left to finish the stuff related to the sales.
May left as well, to get them something to drink.
Ryder was casually standing there as he observed the car when he felt someone pinch his waist with full force.
"Aaaa, That hurt. what are you doing?" He asked as he looked back at Alice, who was glaring at him.
"Why didn't you clear the misunderstanding when he called me your wife!" She scolded Ryder.
"There was no need to. He is unknown. What does it matter if he thinks that you're my girlfriend or wife? I just didn't feel like there was a need to waste time to explain this small stuff," Ryder replied to her.

"Hmph, that aside! What are we going to do now! Do you think they will sell a car like that on EMIs? We're going to be insulted so badly. I can already feel the embarrassment," Alice said as she frowned.
"Hahaha, don't worry. I do have the money. No one will insult us," Ryder replied.
"You do? You have $3.5 million? Which bank did you rob!" She glared at him as she asked.
"Ah, Can you please stop doubting me? It's my hard-earned money," Ryder replied with a wry smile on his face.
"Really?" Alice again asked in a suspicious tone.
"Yup," Ryder said as he nodded his head.
Just as Alice was about to say something, May walked back.
She gave both of them a can of chilled drinks before she stepped back to not interrupt their conversation.
"I'm done, sir. You can check the details of the purchase and the insurance. Now you just need to complete the payment, and this car will be registered to your name," He gave Ryder a tablet that had the details of the purchase.
"Looks good," Ryder said as he transferred the money.
"Sir, If I may suggest something. Since it's your first ride in the car, you should take your wife to a long drive and test the self-driving feature," the salesman said as he winked at Ryder.
Ryder understood what he meant, but he didn't explain.
"Thanks for the suggestion," He said as he walked towards the car and stepped inside. Alice sat on the passenger seat, but she didn't take her eyes off him. It seemed as if she wanted to eat him.
"Come on; It was already too late to clear the misunderstanding. Just ignore that man," Ryder said to her before he started the engine and brought the car on the road.

"How about we go for a long drive?" Ryder suggested. Just enjoy our first moment in the new car?" Ryder suggested.
Alice looked at him and nodded her head, but her heart was in a mess. The whole day has turned out to be shocking.
They drank milkshakes from the same glass just like lovers, they shopped. It was going like a perfect date before he took her to a horse race. She was somewhat disappointed as she didn't like places like that, but he shocked her once more by buying such an expensive car. Furthermore, she was called his wife by someone. She quite liked it when she was called that.
Although the city wasn't empty for him to use the full power of the car, once they got to the empty road, Ryder's Whirlwind moved like lightning.
Alice was somewhat frightened at the speed as she held Ryder's hand and hid her face in his shoulders.
"Should I slow down?" Ryder asked.
"No, I quite like this," Alice replied without raising her head.
"Hmm, You like the fast speed despite being scared of it? Strange," Ryder muttered, but he didn't decrease the speed.
Although he acted casual on the outside, Inside, he was quite happy as well. Getting a sports car like this has always been a dream of his, but he never could have imagined that this dream would come true because of a cursed item.
There were so many possibilities for him to improve his life now. He could get money and get a big house with Alice. He wouldn't need to be concerned about money anymore, and he could just enjoy his life for as long as he can.
After an hour, Ryder stopped the car. They were near empty green fields.
"We're here. You can raise your head," Ryder said to Alice, who kept her head over his shoulders throughout the way.
Alice sat straight and looked out the window.
"This place?" She inquired.
"You remember what this place is?" Ryder asked.
"The place we used to go on a picnic with our family?" Alice replied as she reminisced about the past.
"Yeah. It's also the place where we first met. You were with your mother while I was with my parents. It was the third time I met my aunt, and the first time I met you. You were just 8 years old at that time, and I was 12," Ryder said smilingly.
"I remember. It was such a great day," Alice muttered as she looked at the green fields.
"Let's go out. The weather seems so nice," She said as she opened the door and stepped out of the car.

After the End: Serenity
We all want to believe we are heroes of our own story - unless we want to be the villain, of course. At the end of everything, the Final Reaper decided he hadn’t been a hero. Driven by a desire to right the wrongs he was subjected to, he killed everyone who wronged him or his people - which turned out to be everyone that wasn’t killed by someone else first. He'd won - but it was a hollow victory. Eventually, Order’s Voice found a way out. If the only existing being would agree to give up most of his power, the Voice could reset the multiverse to an earlier time with a few minor changes. Of course, the Voice couldn't ask it that way. It could only ask if the Final Reaper was willing to start over from when Earth was first brought into Order. It was an easy decision, and yet it wasn’t. Was he willing to go through eons of pain again to not be alone? Yes. In a heartbeat. Not that his heart beat anymore. Now it would. Perhaps he could even be a hero, this time. When he landed in his old body - more or less - on Earth, the Final Reaper once again became Thomas. He was both and neither. He needed a new name for a new life. Serenity. ------------------------------------------ While this is technically a System Apocalypse story, it's a System Apocalypse that is designed to have a large percentage of the population survive and prosper. There are a lot of problems that come with the appearance of the Voice, and it's entirely possible to lose. Earth has some special opportunities, but also special challenges. The first time around, Earth won the first round and lost the second. Serenity has ten years from when the Voice arrives to prevent that from happening. It will be a group effort; Serenity can't win alone - which is difficult for someone who's been alone for as long as he has. Of course, that's only his second priority. ------------------------------------------- Updates Daily A note on the nonhuman lead tag: He isn't human, and hasn't been human for a very, very long time (or maybe not long at all, depending on how you count it). He still thinks of himself as human, either way. The content warnings are mostly to give me room to write; this fiction is not intended to be edgy, but once in a while a character will swear or someone will get seriously injured. The cover image is a Chandra/Hubble composite image of VV 340 / Arp 302 / UGC 9618. While we're not going to space itself any time soon in the story, people from elsewhere are coming to Earth and Serenity will visit other planets. Plus, I like space imagery.
