Chapter 1 The Beginning

In a room inside lay a cozy bed and in that place a young man was in a sleep, but slowly his brows began to tremble slowly, he slowly opened his eyelids and a bluish pupil just like that of a jewel can be seen.

He had a well developed face, with tall bridge nose, short hair, sharp eyes, and a perfect jawline. He slowly woke up and sat up in his cozy bed, as he stretched his arms up a soft yawn escaped from his mouth.

The young man name is Alexander Ashbourne a graduated student from high school a few months ago is their graduation and he's finally going to be a college students soon, he slowly got up from bed and went into the bathroom inside his room.

Other than his bed there is a kitchen and a personal bathroom in his apartment, he paid 3,000 Pesos monthly to live here. Which is a great amount for him as a student being all alone by his self.Seeing this he remembered his grandfather and a great anger could be seen from his eyes, but he slowly took a small sigh and continued. He cleaned his self and dry his self up and wore a white t-shirt and a black short.

When all is done he fixed his hair and went outside his apartment, opening the door a room number 120 is where he reside, besides him the door was also opened and a girl with pink hair with a cute and chiseled face appeared on his sight.

He slightly greet the girl with a smile and the girl with pink hair replied with a smile as well. Her dimples and cute round eyes were very attractive to see. Alexander then closed the door and bid his farewell. The pink haired girl looked towards Alexander back as he slowly walked down the stairs.

"What should I do for the moment? I've better find a new job to earn some extra money for the meantime" Alexander though as he slowly walked down the stair with his hands on his pocket.

He needed to save money for college if he ever wanted to finish his studies. He had tried a lot of work like being a waiter, cashier, janitor, librarian, and even a construction worker just to provide for his self.

After walking down the stairs he got out of the apartment and walk besides the lane. There are a lot of cars and civilian walking around this place. Walking for sometime he saw a restaurant and there was a sign in the glass read.

[Wanted Waiter]

Alexander stop in his tracks and stood still at the spot outside the restaurant, it has a big clean window inside there are some big goods furniture and tables, there are even lots of customers eating at the place.

"Should I apply" The first thing Alexander though as he saw the sign if he could apply to work at this place.

While he was just standing there for a moment his gaze not leaving not leaving the sign, the door then was opened and a woman with a white long sleeve and a skirt wearing a glasses came to his view.

Her appearance is someone like that who works in an office, her gaze lingered towards Alexander as she scan him from high to low.

Hearing the sound of the door being opened, he shifted his vision and saw the woman eyes scanning him like an X-ray machine.

"Good morning young man, are you looking for a job?" The woman said as she lowered her glasses.

"Me?" Alexander replied suddenly, stunned from the sudden question."Yes who else would I be talking to" The woman said with a laugh continuing his words, "Would you like to apply at Layla's Restaurant, I'm the owner of this place and I have seen you standing there for some time now, your gaze was not even leaving the sign one bit" The woman said with a smile, she looks mature and a beauty as well.

She had those perfect curves, big marshmallows, and those long and sexy legs her hair was draped blood red making him have a unresistible charm. Nonetheless Alexander wasn't thinking of something lewd and just looked at the woman with his clear eyes, he was a little embarrassed.

"I can't believe she actually seen me like an idiot outside his restaurant, looking at the sign for some time now." He said as he diverted his eyes, looking back again he confronted the woman gaze and replied.

"Is there a slot for this restaurant Ma'am, I would very much like to apply but I did not bring any document for my application" Alexander said as he scratched his head with a silly smile.

The woman hearing this just smiled professionally and replied, "There's no need for that I'm just gonna interview you and I just only want to see your ID. It's not like its a big company that needs a lot of requirements" she said while finishing with a smile.

Alexander could not help but be heart striken by this matured woman in front of him. Hearing no reply the woman then proceed saying.

"So do you wanna apply?" Still in his world and hearing the matured woman voice again, Alexander hurriedly replied "Yes ma'am I would really love to"

"Good come inside and follow me" The woman said as she took a turn and went inside the restaurant, Alexander then followed suit.

He saw a lot of customer some wearing an office suit drinking coffee and some are just having their morning breakfast. Arriving at the door the matured woman opened the door and went inside while Alexander wen inside as well.

There is a big table and some documents were on it and some pencil and ball ben were place in a cup, the woman then sat at seat behind the table while alexander seated just in front of the woman."

Alright then let me introduce myself, I'm Ms. Valentine Lancaster the owner of this restaurant and can you please introduce yourself" The woman said as she cupped her hands in the table.

Alexander then focused and turned serious by answering the question."Good morning ma'am, I am Alexander " he answered honestly as Valentine continued asking him some questions, about his experience, his reason why he wanted this job.

Hearing Alexander answer the woman just nodded her head with a smile clearly satisfied, after the roundabout question and answer goes in a cycle the interview finally ended then Valentine said."

You can now start in Monday, your work shift will start 7:00am to 5:00pm. If you have any questions you can just come to me and ask directly." Valentine said her smile never fades.

"Ok boss I'll just come to you if there's any problems" Alexander said."Please just call me Ms. or Ma'am Valentine, that word does not fit for my image" Valentine said.

"Ok ma'am" Alexander replied.

With the interview come to an end and looking at the calendar the year is in 2024 in the month of May, day 10, it's Friday and he will start to work in Monday.

He then went into a food stall where the food is not overly expensive and order a lunch to fill his hunger.

Today is his birthday and when he looked at his phone an old model of Samsung Version 11, there are lots of cracks on his screen and navigated his fingers towards the Message app.

He saw that there is no message from his family and his anger rises even more. Shaking his head he decided to finish his food and not bother about them anymore.

When he got home he took a shower and dry his self-up he slumped towards the bed and took his phone, he opened his Bank Account and checked the amount of money left in his balance [1,203 Pesos] he sighted thinking how poor he really is.

His salary from working to the restaurant in a day is around 1,000 pesos, in a week he could earn around 7,000 pesos which is pretty good than the other restaurant, he could even pay the enrollment and buy some clothes for his upcoming college.

As he put his put his phone back in the table just beside his bed and looked at the ceiling and think about his plans, suddenly something came that is straight out from a Sci-Fi movie.

[Hello host {Idle Money System} had finally integrated after 18 years of accumulating energy, you can now make money, buy skills or even trade with otherwolders.]

"Whatttt!" Alexander said as he sat up from his sleeping posture.
