Dao or WildWest?

After a few more minutes, Hanz said his goodbye. Matts was still indecisive, he floated in his small divine space in agony. Without a decision, he couldn't move forwards. Fortunately, time flows slower in here unless when he calls another person using DivineStore contact function.

He rolled a few times, then he sat upright in meditation postures. Bored, Matt stood up and do shadow boxing. Afterwards, he put his hands inside his pockets and laid down. He pulled out a coin and flipped it in the air.

"Eh, I can bring coins inside the space?" Matt emptied his pocket and counted the coins he has. He put half back into his pocket. Then he closed the application.

Matt opened his eyes in his room. He checked his pocket and found the coins he put in. He could feel the balance left in the divine space.

"Nice, it's similar to inventory in games." thought Matt. The coins disappeared from his hand and a few seconds later one coin reappeared back.

"Time for a classic coin toss. Here goes nothing," Matt flipped the coin in the air, he caught the coin and placed it on the back of his hand. He took a long breath. Then without looking at the results. He shoved the coin inside his pocket.

Truth was, Matt already made his choice. He just needed the confidence to carry out the selection. Matt stood up and took his shower. He needed to cool down his head and literally 'sleep on it'.

The next morning, Matt wakes up early and feels refreshed. He unlocked his smartphone, a few seconds later he vanished from his room.

Inside the divine space, Matt finalized his selection. On the screen, one could see the 'WildWest' has been inputted.

Thought back to Hephaestus explanation, the progress was automatic but increased in rate if under pressure or dangerous situation. Matt realised that superhero needed motivation and pressure to unlock their powers. While the old west, they challenge the unknown and travelled to find riches.

When Matt wanted to close the application, he noticed a new tab unlocked. The new tab named 'utility'.

"Open utility!" ordered Matt.

Matt's eyes sparkled reading the list on the new tab. He feels like Christmas comes early. Hephaestus told Matt to contact him when new functionality was unlocked, but somehow Matt felt adventurous and wanted to explore the unknown. "What can be wrong?" thought him.

However, Matt was famished and his stomach grumbled and growled. "I have never felt this hungry before... guess an early breakfast won't hurt" Matt consoled himself.

He exited his divine space and took a short bath. On his way out, he saw an old man in a grey overall, carried few bunches of packages into the orphanages.

It was Mr Moore. The grumpy food supplier for the orphanage. His normal scheduled would be two to three times per week in the morning and every evening weekdays.

Matt went into the kitchen and greeted Mr Moore, "Morning Sir, any more packages needed to get from your truck? I can help." Offered Matt.

"Hmm, no more. All are counted here, lad." Reply Mr Moore.

"Thank you, Mr Moore, This is the Stamped Delivery Order," Clara walked into the kitchen from the office. "Is there anything else?"

Mr Moore perused the document and nodded. "Hmph, this will do. Tomorrow, I will bring the invoice. See ya," With that Mr Moore leaves the orphanage.

Matt and Clara greeted each other and Clara started sorting out the packages.

"Early for two days in a row, that the first Matt." teased Clara. "Usually, you will sleep in on Sundays."

"I am dying from hunger. What is for breakfast Sis?" Reply Matt.

"Why don't you take a seat and help yourself with the french loaf while I whipping up some scrambled eggs, and red beans."

Taken the offers, Matt grabbed some bread and stuffed his mouth. Minutes later he gulped down the egg and beans.

After thanked Clara for the food, with a slice of bread in his hand, Matt sped off towards the breakfast stall by the streets. He was still hungry even after having a full plate of breakfast.

He quickly bought 2 pieces of Chicken, 3 meat-filled bread and one meat pie before returning to his room. In the room, he directly went into divine space with all the food.

While finishing the food, Matt thought to himself, "this is almost 5 times my normal food intake for breakfast. Need to ask for more food allowance in the future then."

"Open body tab!" Order Matt.

"If one meal brings me 2.5 per cent progress, with 40 meals I can complete the first item in the list." he pondered for a bit. "but the other task is so slow, hmm maybe different activities bring different amounts of progress.

Matt left the divine space and fetch his homework, he wanted to exploit the time difference in the divine space to finish his homework leisurely.

Inside the divine space, he will the smartphone to duplicate his room but with a better personal computer, chair and bedding. Then he leisurely studied and finished his homework.
