《TRX's Adventures》Vol. 2 Extra Chapter 2: Helping Grandpa.

- ...Hey, what am I doing here?
Andrew asked that question. He was in his grandfather's hardware store. His grandfather was there too, along with Samantha and... Someone else I'm not going to mention yet.
- Hey, young man, don't complain and help me tidy these things up. - said his grandfather, who was carrying some boxes. He was a stout man, had blue eyes and was somewhat bald. His few hairs had a lot of gray in them. Oh, he had a mustache too, though it was short. - You told me you were going to help me the other day.
- I did, yeah... - said. "But you didn't say in what..."
- Now, if you break your promise, you're not going to have dinner. And this goes for you, too, young lady.
- I know, Grandpa... - Sam was carrying a box into the storeroom.
- Grandpa... I know I promised to help you and all, and Samantha did too, so... Why is Mat here?
- ? - Mat.
- That's right... Hey, Mat, why are you here helping us? - Sam asked.
- Oh, because... Well, I saw that your grandfather was taking the boxes out of the pick-up truck, so I came to help. - answered Mat. Those boxes looked kind of heavy, but Mat was carrying them like it was nothing. - Ah, well... Actually, it's because I had nothing else to do, so that's why I'm here.
The thing is... Well, Mat lied in those moments for no apparent reason. He was on his way home from doing a bunch of stuff, like helping some kids rescue their cat that was in a tree, helping mow a lady's lawn, helping his literature teacher grade papers in the lower grades, helping out at church... Oh, well.

- Hahaha. - grandpa laughed , who knew the things Mathias did, and said: - You should be more like Mat.
- Yeah... - said Andrew and set about carrying a medium-sized box... - Agh, this one is heavy, what's in it?
- Oh, what don't you read? There are only pliers in there. - his grandfather replied.
- Hey, Andrew, I'll carry it. - Mat told him.
- Huh? O-okay. - he replied.
Samantha had no problem carrying the boxes she chose... Until they had to carry bags of cement.
- Hey, Grandpa, how do we carry them now? - Sam asked. - I can't carry them, and neither can Andrew.
- Then carry them between the two of you. - answered their grandfather. - Come on, it's not that hard to come to that conclusion. Oh, and look at Mat, he carries them like it's nothing. You should exercise more, especially you Drew.
- Yeah, Grandpa... - Drew replied. "The heck, how does he carry them?"
They were helping out until 3 P.M.

Edge Cases (Book 1 Complete!)
Rare classes and powerful skills are helpful. Too bad the system doesn't seem built to handle them. What even are all these errors? Our team of outcasts and adventurers will have to rely on their trust - and the bane of all stories, healthy communication - just to survive, let alone understand what the system is doing. Because they're quickly realizing that it's doing something; to people, to monsters, and maybe even to the gods themselves. And their goal isn't just to survive; it's to make things better. It's a good thing they're not doing it alone. --- Edge Cases is an attempt to take the LitRPG genre and the overpowered MCs trope and write a story where numbers aren't everything. Sometimes it takes trust, support, and just a touch of being very, very clever. Expect a mix of action, slice-of-life, friendship, and ominous worldbuilding. Updates M-W-F at 6pm EST. Cover art by Alovck of Artstation, and typesetting by jessessey right here on RoyalRoad.
