Chapter 11 : Day-off

Leo looked at the rewards, he was surprised by what he had saw, [Reward 1: 10,000 Gold] (can only be use at the store)

[Reward 2: 10 points stats]

[Reward 3: Common-type sword]. Leo was overjoyed over a single accomplishment, he didn't notice that the nurse had entered the room and was staring at him grinning. "Uhh... Mr. Leo, what are you grinning for?" the nurse asked, Leo was startled, he quickly closed the window. "Ahh! Was I grinning?" Leo looked the clock above the wall, "Oh, it's time for me to get discharge" Leo swiftly rose and got all his belongings though he doesn't have that much with him. "Thanks for taking care of me" Leo slightly bowed his head, rolled the knob and leaved the room.

Leo dropped by to ATM machine and withdraw some money, he placed the ATM card, entered his pin and push the amount he's withdrawing. Leo loves the sound of the ATM machine as it draws out the money, he took the money, get his wallet and puts the money inside. 'I should buy some new clothes, mine's all torn up. I should buy Tom too' Leo leaved.

Not so far from the ATM machine he came across a clothes store, he glanced inside and see if the clothes suits his taste. He found a clothes of his taste then entered the store, he went too see if it fits. He took it out of the clothes rack, brought it with hi inside the fitting room, a black jacket partnered with black skinny jeans and a leather top-sider shoes. The clothes and shoes fitted to him perfectly as if the size was taken from him. Leo took off the clothes and hits the cashier, there, he saw Tom's favorite clothes brand Tee-Culture, a plain dark-red colored cotton shirt with a print saying 'No rules, No Limits'. Leo bought that too as a gift for Tom, he paid the cashier and exited the store. 'Tom would love this' Leo holding the shirt he bought for Tom then he hit the road.

A one and a half hour trip from hospital to his home, Leo arrived at his place. He was welcomed by Tom who was cooking wearing an apron, under the apron was his school uniform. "(Kuya) Leo, perfect timing, this is almost done" Leo sat down the chair, puts down all his things and drank some water. "Mmhmm, it smells nice, what are you cooking?" Leo asked.

"Stir fried camote sprouts paired with dried fish" Tom answered, stirring the pan.

"I forgot to spend my stats points because of the nurse' Leo opened the window, he didn't bothered because only he can saw the window. "First, I'll add 4 points to damage, then divide the remaining to toughness and sense" he clicked the add sign, shown beside the status.

[Leo K. Nicholas] [Level: 0] [Title:None] [Class: None] [Health Points: 100] [Mana Points: 120]

[Attack Damage: 14] [Toughness: 8]

[Agility: 10] [Dexterity: 15] [Sense : 8] [Magic resist: 0 %] [Exp. Points: 0/10] [No available skill]

Tom had finished cooking and then Leo prepared the dishes. Tom took a medium-bowl, transferred the food there and placed it on the table. Leo, holding his plate, opened the rice cooker's cover and scooped three times, the rice down to his plate, making a small mound of rice. Tom gave his plate to Leo and Leo got him rice too. "I'll eat and eat until I can not move anymore" Leo chuckled, giving back Tom's plate. "Let's eat, thank you for the food" they both began eating, Leo was a big eater, he loves Tom's cooking, of course he can cook too but Tom insisted on cooking for him since that's all he can do for his older brother. Leo doesn't get fatter instead he looked like a wimp.

After eating, Leo insisted on helping with the dishes, "(Kuya) Leo, I told you I can do this, go get some rest instead" Tom said. "It's fine, I want to help you" Leo replied evenly. They finished washing the dishes, Leo remembered his gift for Tom. He took the bag and gave it to Tom, "Here, that's your favorite brand" Tom accepted the bag, he smiled when he saw the shirt. "Can I try it on" Tom asked as he smiles, "Go ahead" Tom took off his t-shirt and put on the shirt Leo bought. It was the perfect size, ot fitted just fine to Tom and he loves it even more. Leo, seeing his little brother happy, made him happy too, that's what making him endure all the suffering and pains he always get when inside a gate.

'Ting' just like the sound of the microwave when it's ready, Leo's seven day mission continues. [Mission : 60 push ups, 60 sit ups and 3.5 km run] [Mission expires in 23:59:57] Leo was fired up, he wants to do it already but he just finished eating and resting sitting on the sofa. 'I'll do this later' Leo reached out for the remote and turned on the television.

[Daily News : The new, 10th S rank hunter in the Philippines, Scarlett Queen live at the Hunter's Agency] "Uh, Ms. Scarlett, how does it feel to be the 10th S rank Hunter here in the Philippines?" reporters and paparazzi had swarmed the whole area, bodyguards and other employees from the agency were escorting her from leaving the area. She stopped the employee who parted the reporter's hand who asked the question and smiled, "I feel blessed because not many people were granted to be a S rank hunter and the privilege and perks of being a S rank hunter is quite considerable. I feel prestigious" she answered and then jumped high out of the scene leaving the others behind.

Leo hit the turned off button and went outside to finish his mission. He was stretching first and as soon as he was done warming up he went full throttle. His body is still aching from yesterday and he hasn't fully rested, so after this he'll be totally wasted.

But unlike the other day, this day, he easily finished his mission. Leo opened the rewards,

[Reward 1: 10 stat points]

[Reward 2: C rank gate entry pass]

[Reward 3: Bless]

Leo then, smashed receive button. All his sores and muscle pains were washed away when he received the rewards. He knew that that was the the 3rd reward 'bless'. Leo had spent all 10 points on attack damage this time because he thought that it was pretty low and thought that, it wouldn't enough damage on monsters. Leo dropped by to a convenience store and bought some beer, he wants to get drank today.

After paying, he went back to his house and placed it inside the fridge, he found potatoes inside took it and some butter. He opened the stove, get a small-size pot, filled it with water, peeled half of the potatoes' skin, puts the half peeled tomatoes in the pot and placed it under the fire.

Leo opened the window again and looked inside his inventory; items. 'This entry pass, I don't know if I should take a C rank gate with party members or take this raid on a solo. I don't that I'm that strong since I'm still level 0' he think for it for a while then he come to a decision. Leo decided to take this as a solo, he wants to test his capabilities and if he survive this raid, he himself will starts to acknowledge his self.
