《Tremors Of Time: Spirit Gauntlet》Chapter 13 New Mission: Finding the Old Lady Part 1
Advertisement
I love you, baby,
and if it's quite alright,
I need you, baby
To warm a lonely night.
The sound faded away as I pressed the alarm button to turn off the music. My sight cleared up as I rubbed my eyes to get the sleep out of me. "UHHHH,” I yawned while stretching my arms back and forth. I concentrated my eyes on the alarm to see the time, it took a few seconds with my sleep clouded eyes, "5:10, huh." That's not too bad. Now to wake up my brain. If I went to sleep at roughly 10:00 pm and woke up at 5:10 pm, how much time passed in Choices online? Let's see here, 7 hours and 10 minutes passed, multiply that by 3, approximately 21 hours and 30 minutes passed in choices online. That leaves 4 days to finish the old bastard's quest. If I get in the game about 2 hours from now it'll be morning in the game and I'll spawn at the flea market.
My mind wandered as I got up and went downstairs to eat, only to find out that I have no leftovers and I'll have to make something to eat, goddamn it. The kitchen needs to be refilled with food. It doesn't have noodles, no cereal, no bread, no snacks, and I'm saving the leftovers for dinner. That leaves with only one option macaroni and cheese, goddamn it again.
To keep myself entertained I pretend I'm a cooking host with a voice from the song death of a bachelor. "Well hellooo there. I did not see you, but since you are here would you like to learn how to cook macaroni and cheese?" I say waving a spoon around facing the empty table in the living room. "Is that a yes I hear?" I say cupping my ear with my hand to imitate a megaphone.
"No This sucks," Says a male voice from upstairs.
"Could it possibly be, my abilities have passed from the virtual world to this and have gotten stronger. I now have the ability to make spirits. Muahahahaha, I might as well have become a god. Is that brown hair I see, could my spirit have brown hair?" I say with a playful tone dwindling fast. "Oh screw it, are you gonna come out or not," I say tired of this already.

"Yeah, I heard you I'm coming down." I hear light steps on the stairs to reveal Caleb. "Hey man what you cooking," he asks with hunger depraved eyes.
"Dude calm down I'll give you some if you fill these conditions. You become the audience, tell nobody about this, I'll give you food, Deal?" I ask already guessing the answer from his eyes.
"Yes, Cook," He says sitting on the empty table.
Why did he sit on the empty table, actually you know what screw it." Well we got a surprisingly high percentage of yes, 100% to be exact".
"That's great and all but there's only one person"
"Ignoring that one rude man, we will now begin the cooking process. You will have to be very careful in this step," I said while tiptoeing to a pot. "If you mess up the cooking could be messed up, so it's very important," I said Nodding my head up and down. "Now to begin." I start Pouring water into the pot. "Now remember when it's three-fourths of the way full it's okay," giving a shining grin and thumbs up like Guy from Naruto. "Once you’re done filling up the pot with water put it on the stove for 8 minutes. To pass the time look at an 8-minute youtube video. I took my phone out, set an 8 min timer, went to RoyalRoadLegends, and read my new favorite novel Tremors Of The Mind: Pheromone control. After 8 minutes the alarm on my phone went off, bringing my reading to a halt, god damn it. I Slowly walked to the pot and took on my persona as the cook.
"Well hello there didn't see you. Now we take out our packs of macaroni and cheese and because I'm starving I will take out 5 packs." I walk to the pantry in order to get the packs of Macaroni and Cheese. "Now that we have the Macaroni and cheese open them up and put them inside the Pot." I set down the packs of Macaroni and open them with extreme prejudice. "Now that we're done opening them, drop them into the pot." I drop them into the pot and take an exaggerated sniff of the food. "MMM, You can smell it already." I say with a blinding smile. "Now the next thing we need to do is wait for 30 minutes and every half a minute turn it around to make the macaroni soft. " I say with an informed tone of voice.

I then read Rest of TTMPC. "So he was the Killer this whole time, that's insane," I whispered to myself.
Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding
A sound escapes my phone notifying me that the timer was finished and the food was ready.
"Hurry Up I want to eat," said the annoying audience.
"As I was about to say, the food is now done there's only one more step left. Be warned though it's the hardest one of them all. Eat pretending as if it was good, because even if it is bad I don't want to hear it, nor do I care, and have a good day." I Grab two bowls and fill them up with macaroni and cheese. "Hey Caleb," I say bringing the food, "How's work doing".
"Surprisingly Good, one of the directors, Will Smith, is offering me a job as his assistant!" He said with a light in his eyes. This brings me back to when I met Caleb about 6 months ago. He got promoted to manager at a Tech company that works together with my dad's company. He was invited to a relatively small pool party for managers. I coincidentally was there to scout potential (Look and hit on the hot ladies Wink) and he was also scouting for potential.
We then bonded over a couple of ice cold beers and talked about which sunglasses we used to hide our eyes the best." Not this again, Alex, Alex, ALEX."
"What Yeah," I said surprised out of my day dream.
"Stop standing there and eat the food is gonna get cold," He said while jamming his mouth with food sitting on of the chairs. Wait when did he sit down on the chairs.
"Hello, earth to Alex" He said once again breaking me out of my daze.
"Yeah Yeah, no need to remind me I'm sitting down" I pulled one of the chairs, took a seat, and started eating the macaroni which in fact turned out pretty good. Like that 20 minutes passed which ended with the food cleaned out and me running to my VR machine. I opened the VR machine and logged in at record speed.
When my eyes opened I saw the same flea market but with a different light, a morning light to be exact. God, I really need help don't I, in any case, I need to find Garcia the Tailor. To find her I go back to shop I found her at and asked the owner if he knew her.
"Her I don't know, her son I do. If you want to find him he works in the smithy on Silver Lane." With those words, I started my crusade to find the old lady with opening my map. By the time I got there I found a young man opening shop at what appears to be a smithy. It had the name Silver Don inscribed on a stone plank above the shop. The shop was made completely in what I assume to be stone.
"Sorry to ask sir, but could your grandmother possibly me Garcia The Tailor?" I asked with an enthusiastic tone.
"That she be, what you need of'er," He asked with a thick country accent.
Play it cool Alex, what reason do you have beside she owes me. "She needed me to go get her some rabbit furs for something and I need to give it to her," I said to the Smith.
"Well hand it ova," He said with a rough voice.
"Well you see here I need to give it to her in person," Good going trying not to seem to look like a creep Alex.
"Well I'ma tell ya straight, you don't seem to be a good guy, but lucky for ya, I need u assistant to help me. If you become my assistant for one weapon I'll bring you to meet her," He said with a no bargaining tone.
Dan Ganner a weaponsmith has asked you to become an assistant for one weapon
Reward: Get to meet his grandmother{} slight increase of intimacy{} 300 experience points
Failure: small decrease of intimacy
Y/N
Goddamn it, now I got to listen to his terrible ass voice for an hour. "Yes," I said begrudgingly.
"That's the attitude," He said with a happy voice of having an unpaid worker, let's do this Alex. "Helper, I didn't catch ya name?" Said Dan.
"It's Excel," I said with an irritated tone.
"Okay Axe, weird name ya have,"
