Chapter Nine(9)
"Don't be stupid, James" I thought to myself since that wouldnt work after all people would start asking questions about where you got it from and lying wouldnt really help the situation because I can't say, I picked it up since even if many doesn't know what Jadeite or real Emerald is, they wouldnt ignore it when they see it by the roadside or something like that.
Selling minerals like that can only happen after I'm at least 18 years old or higher so they would be less inclined to ask stupid questions but then again by that time, I would already be extremely rich so I wouldnt need to sell those minerals. The resource dimension is really the best there is, if not for my fear that the Living Tribunal would call me out, I would have long since used the Tenth Metal. In order to even be able to warp reality on a planetary level, I need enough of it to form a breastplate and to go to universal level, I would need enough to form a full armor and I'm not sure that The Living Tribunal would appreciate such powerful unknown metal appearing within his turf.
The man sealed the starbrand because it was too powerful and it was something from this Multiverse. Imagine what he would do about the Tenth metal which is just as powerful if not more. I am stuck using my most powerful asset in tiny amounts just so I don't face the big man but it doesn't matter even that is enough for me. Imagine how powerful a normal computer would be if you enhanced it with just a tiny drop of Tenth Metal, of course it wouldn't become ridiculously powerful but it would at least instantly catch up to the most powerful supercomputer in the world. That is how powerful Tenth Metal is.
After school, I kept my promise as I distributed the latest issue of the Dragon Ball manga. This behaviour was self-destructive, by distributing these manga to them for free, I am not only wasting paper that I don't have, I am also not gaining anything but then again this was only so that I would gain my first users the moment my website goes online. People who would in turn blab about my website to others and they would visit too thus creating a chain until my website becomes popular. This was an investment.
"Eh?.... I'm sorry guys, all the copies I have on hand have been distributed but you should be able to read the manga online from now on, drawing on paper repeatedly isn't exactly comfortable. Just go to SmithComics.com and you would be able to find it, of course, it's free for this whole month but you would have to subscribe for the next" I climbed one of the tables in the cafeteria to announce to the large amount of people who were waiting to collect one of the new copies
"Oh come on, I waited for it you know" I heard a voice shout
"I'm sorry, I am doing this alone but by tomorrow, I promise you would get new updates and may even be able to get new ones every day or something" I apologized but deep down, I was happy to see this large amount of students actually care enough to come back for an update of the Manga.
Drawing the manga was monotonous but it wasn't something that could tire me out and since trying to print it would cost more money than tearing out the middle pages of an empty book and using it as the comic, I optioned to draw it by hand instead but with my latest idea, I can start uploading the comics online from now on. I can draw it just once and everybody would be able to get it, would save more time and would allow me the time to even draw more and update faster than normal. My enhanced physiology wasn't just for sure, I can draw and colour an entire page in just a few minutes and with my self-sustained body, I can continue drawing from dusk till dawn without any negative effects to me.
"You better give us two extra issues to compensate" a girl standing in front said and I smiled
"Sure, why not, now please if you guys would excuse me, the bus might leave me" I replied then came down from the table as most of the people left the Cafeteria and returned to their work.
I entered the bus to see Matthew reading his own copy with several kids standing over his shoulder to read it too. Seeing this made me extremely satisfied after all I had worked my butt off for an entire week, drawing and updating the manga as well as distributing it to any random kid I saw in school be they senior or junior but now several people now knew what mangas are and loved it. Seeing the group that was busy reading, I decided to give them some space and sat somewhere else as the bus began its journey to drop us off.
An hour later, I was back home and alone. Mom came back late due to the nature of her job or better said, her jobs. We may have our own home due to grandma passing it down to us but without it, we were basically homeless even the laptop I had begged Mom to buy was a used one and the last owner didn't treat it well thus it was sold for cheap but that would all change soon, I can now trash the laptop which honestly was too deceitful in appearance. It looked new but the insides were just something else, it was like the former owner just got some random laptop and fixed it up a bit then fixed it's appearance to make it look OK and sell it.
