《Another life》Chapter 5:
Advertisement
I woke up the next day with my sister asleep beside me, and brother reading a book while sitting in the chair.
Noticing that I woke up he close the book on his hand.
“Hm? You're already awake? Well that's fast.” (Lyle)
“Where's mom and dad?”
“Downstairs, they're talking about something important right now.” (Lyle)
Something important huh? Well if it's mom then it'll be pretty normal, but why does dad tag along too? I mean he's only good at fighting, and I've never seen him talks about politics so, why?
“Ohh, what are you reading?”
“Oh this? It's a book about the blueshere kingdom.”(Lyle)
So it's about that huh? Well I don't really care about history so I won't ask more about it, but where did he get that? I'm pretty sure I'm the only one who bring a book when we left.
“Where did you get that?”
“I got it from grandpa's personal library. He's quite a book maniac you see.” (Lyle)
A personal library huh? I wonder if there's a book about magic, and alchemy.
Back in the house all of the books are about the basic elements, so it'll be pretty good if there's a book about the advance ones.
I can pretty much get a grip on the basic ones, and the non-attribute one but for the advance ones? Not so much.
Bseide I'm already reach the bottleneck right now, and I see no way to breakthrough it.
And it'll be pretty great if there's a book about Alchemy. I'm interested to become an alchemist, after all who wouldn't be interested in making potions and poisons? Not me.l, that's for sure.
“Say, where-”
*rumble*
A rumbling sound came out from my stomach. Lyle who heard this had a smile on his face, I know it's embarrassing but please don't smile.
“Wait here I'll go get some food.” (Lyle)

He put his book on the desk, and left the room. Several minutes later he came back with 2 plates of food.
Cecilica wake up when the food arrive, and her stomach start to grumble as well, so brother left the room and get another plate.
When he got back, the 3 of us are our breakfast together in the room. I asked him why aren't we eating with the others.
Apparently they are still discussing about something which is really something considering how long have they discussed about it.
After we finished eating breakfast we took a bath together. Of course I tried to refute it, but both Lyle and Cecilica were against it so in the end all 3 if us took a bath together.
Nothing unusual happen while we're in the bathroom. We only washbour bodies, and left when we're done.
We then wear the clothes that the maids gave us. It's just your standard, hard to move, and for no apparent reason has many accessories outfit.
No seriously, it's a darn pain to wear this, and apparently my both my brother and sister are non the same page as me so brother request the maid to gave us the casual clothes that is in our luggage. Good job bro!
After we wear the clothes we head downstairs to meet our parents.
---
“Well this is annoying.”
“What was that?”(Lyle)
“Nothing brother.”
Currently all of us ( Lyle,Cecilica, and me) are taking a stroll around town.
You see, when we met up with our parents. They said that they have something important to do, and told us to take a walk around town, gave us some money so we can buy stuff too.
I don't know what is so important for you to neglect your children, but I guess they have their reason.
You were wondering why is there no maid, or guard to accompany us right? Well that's because my brother told them not to.

Well it's not like that there's no one following us, it's just that they did it secretly.
In fact I happened to spot the gatekeeper spying on us all this time. Well, since he's not doing anything yet, I won't act for now that is.
That aside, I'm so tired just by walking around for 10 minutes. Maybe that's because Cecilica keep visiting every stalls we pass through while dragging the 2 of us.
I don't really hate it, but I would've appreciate if she took note of my stamina. It's a good thing I can replace that with mana, otherwise I'll be breathing hard right now.
“Say brother, isn't it time for us to take a break?”
Truth be told, even if I can use mana to replace my stamina that doesn't mean that I won't be exhausted. If I used mana to replace it, then my mentality will be worn out.
“You're right, how about we buy some food and sit over there?” (Lyle)
“Sure.”
The 3 of us bought some meat skewer and sit on a nearby bench. The skewer isn't that tasty compare to what I've been eating all the time, then again in this world I'm a noble.
After we finished eating the skewer, we continue to walk around town while visiting each stall that we came around too.
When we walked around, a man from out of no where bump Lyle and quietly left but..
“Would you kindly return the money you stole from me?” (Lyle)
The man turn back when Lyle said that, and with a grin on his face he begin to talk.
“I don't know what you're talking about boy.”(man)
“Don't lie to me, I know you bump on me on purpose to steal my money. Now just quietly return the money will you.”(Lyle)
“I don't know what are you talking about, and what proof do you have that I stole your money?”(man)
He deny Lyle words while grinning. Ahh, so he's trying to play dumb huh? In that case I guess I'll do a little trick in you.
“Brother let's go back.”
I told him that while grabbing his clothe.
“Why-”(Lyle)
“Big bro let's go, I'm hungry.”
As if noticing my intention he nodded, and while holding my hand and Cecilica's we walk away.
I look back and saw the man smiling on his success. Fufufu, I wonder how will he react on this.
I quietly gather the mana around the pouch, and apply pressure on to the pouch then a few seconds later the pouch burst releasing all of the coins.
Not bad for the first time if I do say so myself. With the coins scatter to the ground a bunch of people came and collect them.
The man was pissed, he was so pissed I can see his blood vein pop's up. Take that you scum!
“Hey you!”(man)
The 3 of us stopped at the man's word, and turn back.
“You, you did something didn't you!?”(man)
Lyle looked at me when he heard that. I wink at him, and a smile showed on his face.
“I don't know what you're talking about, and do you have any proof that I'm the one who did that?” (Lyle)
Nice comeback! The man hearing his own words bounce back to him snapped and got mad.
“Why you!”(man)
The man ran toward us while holding a knife. Seeing that I quickly used earth magic to trap the man's foot, and he quickly fell when he did.
The the gatekeeper who tailed us finally came out with several guards after it happened and arrest the man.
We then went back home with the gatekeeper escorting us. Today, is a fun day. I wonder if tomorrow will be the same.

All Stats Random
Un-reality, the greatest game in the century just launched and Chris starts to play it. He wants to change his circumstances, which are through no fault of his own. But fate doesn't let it be that simple. He gets a hidden unique class, but that class has a special ability, one that randomizes all his stats whenever it wants? What? The world truly can't be fair to him. Not even in a game. Now he has to figure out a way to make this odd quirk of his class work. When he smiles, the world loves him.When he laughs, the world fears him. (and that was my stab at trying to imitate those chinese synopses) Regular chapters, once or twice per week. On the weekends usually. I will finish this novel, be it takes 1 year or 2. It will get a proper ending. Afterall, the ending is paramount. Also, the readers might feel rewarded if they look closely while reading. I try to be quite mindful and put in interesting details or things that would come into play later. And, personally i think that reviews on this site might as well be pointless. Unless you know the reviewer and think that you share his views. Your thoughts on a particular thing (like a novel) can differ from others. So, do give it a try before arbitrarily deciding. This is my try to perfect the 'master of all/everything' type of MC, inside a proper, realistic VR world, from a game design perspective and immersion and no convenient 'convert gold to irl currency' button. It is going to be a game first of all. Not a fantasy world overloaden with status screens and skills you can't possibly keep track of. A game with all of the real world aspects to it. Not a cheap fantasy world with shoehorned in stats.
