《Grand Magus》Chapter 69 A new Plane (3)
Advertisement
“So… you won in the lottery or something? Wanna share some money? You could also be my sugar daddy if you want, I am in search of one. Hahahahahaha.”
While the female college student was obviously stunned by his reply, she tried to tease him once more.
Not wanting to continue this pointless talk, as Tom knew from experience that the female college student would linger around for a way to escape learning, he stood up and said:
“Sorry Amy, I have to go home right now. And for the sugar daddy option. I would say no.”
As his 16-year-old body was filled to the brim with hormones, Tom relived himself by grabbing the ass of the female college student and walking away.
But not before saying:
“But the girlfriend option is still open.”
After doing the cringe thing of flirting, Tom walked back to his home.
‘Does the personality of Tom influences my actions? I would rather spend more time experimenting than sleeping around. But it would probably be better to have a partner because people who are single tend to be more suspicious. Besides, I didn’t had time to enjoy body pleasure.’
After arriving home, Tom simply fell onto his bed after brushing his teeth.
He could see how his work continued to operate the com-link.
Thankfully Tom didn’t forget to connect the com-link to a charger.
Checking his account, Tom found that the average increase of his money tended to be around one percent every five minutes.
Allowing the Ai to continue the money earning trading, Tom simply emptied one of his drawers and put the worker along with the com-link into it.
After all, he needed to hide the worker from obvious eyes.
Then, Tom fell asleep.
When he woke up, the sun already shone upon his ass.
With a single look into the drawer and the com-link, he had about fourteen thousand credits in his account.
Nodding with a satisfied look, Tom left the Ai to do the work and took out a hundred cred bill from the food stash.

It was a small chest where his step-parents would allocate money for food and necessities when they were gone.
Thus Tom walked to the nearest supermarket and bought as much meat as he could afford.
It was about twenty-five kilograms or fifty-five pounds.
The cashier looked at him with a questioning look but didn’t ask for what Tom would need the amount of meat.
Arriving home once more, Tom simply piled the meat onto the ground and used a larva to eat the meat. His goal was to create a being capable of hunting the wildlife to bring back enough meat for him to experiment upon.
When the larva morphed into a cocoon, Tom simply did his knight training as well as meditation in order to increase his strength.
As the increase of spirit was visible, meditation was something that felt extremely rewarding to Tom. More than the interest in the world.
Thus, Tom spent the entire day meditating and increasing his spirit.
Even when Penelope woke up from the activity last night and tried to drag Tom to another activity, Tom simply refused and continued his meditation.
Thankfully, to the social grave that Penelope dug herself in the previous day, she only asked once.
So night arrived once more.
Tom didn’t spend the day doing anything great, instead, he focused on meditation and waited for his servant to hatch.
As there were some insects in the house like spiders and some insects outside in the garden like ants, Tom also caught a few of those to feed the cocoon.
As for the knight training, Tom did a couple of training units between meditation and watching the cocoon hatch.
When Tom deemed the time late enough to sleep, he checked his bank account and the number didn’t lie to him.
Around 250 thousand credits lied in his bank account.
‘So according to the calculation, the number will probably reach more than four million credits tomorrow? I should register a company to lessen the taxes for my stock trading.’
Even though Tom was an introvert who didn’t read much besides novels, who didn’t dream of being rich? Especially an introvert teenager who wanted to be good with girls and didn’t know how to attract them.

Thus there was a basic understanding of lessening the taxes, should there ever be a day where he would acquire the riches.
‘So, under what kind of company should I hide my real intentions? A research institute for biological matter, an interplanar logistic firm or a Pharmaceutical company?’
Considering his own needs, every single one of those companies would hide his real intentions while at the same time deliver experimental materials to him.
After a quick thought, he decided on the Pharmaceutical company as Tom could simply say that they are investing in medicine that would take a long time to develop.
At the same time, it would be logical to deliver living or deceased animals or plants into the company.
While Tom thought about his future plan before sleeping, the cocoon hatched.
A dog-sized spider with eight legs crawled out of the cocoon.
Surprised by the form of his servant but nevertheless prepared to experiment upon it in a later time, Tom commanded the worker to move out and hunt for any kind of animal.
A short mental check made Tom realize that the spider had paralyzing poison as well as webbing abilities which would allow for easy transportation and capture.
While the dog-sized, eight-legged and really creeping looking spider crawled out of the open window into the dark night, Tom prepared for sleep by brushing his teeth.
Thus another night passed as Tom immediately fell asleep as soon as he closed his eyes. A perk for exhausting the body with the knight training.
Morning arrived in a quick manner, birds sang their daily song and the first sun rays shone upon Tom.
After a quick session of knight training and meditation, Tom looked at the visible improvement.
It felt weird as the increase in spirit was unbelievable high.
[Tom Smith]
[0.49 strength, 0.71 agility, 0.36 vitality, 9.02 spirit]
Though not only did his spirit increase, the body of Tom endured a major change in its constitution.
However, the increase in the capability of the body didn’t reflect on the appearance as Tom simply didn’t want the dramatic change in his physical features to be known yet.
Instead, he simply decided to change his changing features as a “normal” puberty transformation.
With a quick look into the drawer and onto his account, he saw that the number reached a little bit more than one million credits.
‘I can’t believe that the goal of becoming a millionaire, seemed so far and yet so close. At least for Tom.’
After the rash decision of harassing the close female college student, Tom pondered about his decision at that single moment and deemed it as a side effect of devouring the memories of Tom Smith.
After all, Tom also lived for about sixteen years, which is a considerable amount of years.
Skipping breakfast at home and deciding to actually make his plans into reality, Tom searched his room for small credit bills and indeed found around fifty credits.
The first thing he did was to take public transport to the nearest electric store.
It was only around twenty minutes away and as the place where Tom grew up was a small community and only had basic necessity shops, he had no other options.
Walking into the electric store, Tom bought the cheapest com link available that had every function he needed and took the public transportation back home.
Back home, Tom connected both com-links so that both would be connected and took the com-link he just bought with him.
The reason for that would be simple as the cheap one was worse than his new generation com-link of some sort of useless brand that Tom was once a fan of. So Tom left the better one to his AI in order to earn money.

Beast
A threat to the galaxy has come from another, and the Union of intelligent life will go to any length to stop it. Military Quarantine has held for hundreds of thousands of cycles. Traders, merchants, colonists, and Pirates live risky lives along the fringes as the politics from the inner systems fail to see the larger threats beyond their borders. A lone human finds himself far from home with no memories to how he arrived. A failing Trade vessel plays on a desperate gamble, while a malicious parasite searches for a suitable host. ............................................. Author's note: Beast is a story that I wrote a long, long time ago. Some of you might have read it then, back when it was posted on reddit over at r/HFY. It was my first webfiction and made in the spirit of that subreddit's "genre" of humanity being awesome. But, it is also a story that has bothered me a little bit. Just like most new writers tend to do, I made mistakes and errors that feel painful to reread. A Space Opera will be a Space Opera, but I had prose that makes present-me cringe. Still, at the same time, the story is still very much a tale I've never given up on. It was my first adventure into fiction: Beast was a crazy adventure with bodysnatching aliens, galactic war, threats from across the universe... Posting this story here is a way to try and redeem myself a bit. I won't call it a complete rewrite, because it's not, but I have wanted to go through and correct some of the major issues Beast has for a long time and put it somewhere more accessible to read (instead of as posts/comments on reddit) and I figure that now is as good a time as any. Additional corrections you might notice are welcome.
