The Gathering 1

"I need your help. Please… I need your help!"

In this dark environment, a woman's voice gradually resonates around him.

He has no idea where he is or who the woman's voice is, but he has decided to respond.

"Help? Why? Also, where am I?"

He is full of questions, but he hopes that she would tell him where he is.

"Because you're the only who can help me."

It was not the response he expected, but he chose to simply listen to her.

Her reasoning is illogical, yet he continues to speak with her and eventually agrees.

"How can I help you?"

"** ** ** ** **"

"Huh? I can't hear you."

He just hears statistics.

"** ** **"

However, no matter how hard he concentrated, he couldn't understand what she was saying until he noticed a large crack and light entered, destroying the dark world.

…

When he opened his eyes, he felt an aching on his head.

"What the hell is that?"

He can still recall the dream vividly.

The dark world and the woman's voice who want his help.

Suddenly, a thought crosses his mind.

'Is she the reason I transmigrated?'

It's only a hypothesis, and he's not sure, but it may be a major possibility.

He recalls a show in which the main character was sent to another world because the world required a savior; her request for help may be similar.

However, it was only a possibility, so he did not get set on that thought.

He tries to concentrate to hear her words before the cracks form, but he can't hear her, therefore he suspects something has happened to her.

However, he has no idea who she is or where she might be found.

"So… what's next?"

However, he wondered if she would visit him again or if it was only a dream generated by his imagination as a result of his task today.

A week has passed, and he can hear people in the shop.

After taking a morning shower and brushing his teeth, he went downstairs and noticed a customer entering the shop.

"Good morning, Welcome to Tech Haven Shop!"

A voice from a woman greets the customers.

He paused in the middle of the steps and decided to observe her for a while until the people left the store.

"Good morning, Ms. Yihan."

"Good morning, Boss."

He continues to stroll down, eventually meeting her as he looks around.

He didn't expect this when he met her because she couldn't cook, but when she took over his shop, it became cleaner.

The system was also delighted with the fact that it reduced mana stone it needed from 50 to 49.

"By the way, boss."

"What is it?"

"I saw this stick when I was cleaning earlier…"

She displays what appears to be an old stick.

"Oh! I almost forgot about it."

Another customer enters, so she excuses herself and meets them.

Alex enters the kitchen after taking the stick with him.

After putting the stick in his own storage chamber, he read the description.

[Skill Stick: It may appear to be a normal stick, but its origin remains unclear.]

[Skill Stick Function: By detaching a specific skill from the host and attaching it to the stick, the host can utilize the skill without limit or backlash while the stick is in use.]

[Skill Stick's remaining skill slot: 3]

This is the reward he earned after spreading the smartphone around the city of May.

This stick is too useless for him right now because he only has one skill and it can only be used to beat someone, unlike his chain bracelet, which he recently obtained.

[Epic Chain Bracelet: It adds a permanent point to all stats every day.

[Warning: Once you remove the bracelet, the buff will no longer work when worn again.]

This came from a task in which he wanted to locate someone to look after his shop while he was out to help.

After checking the status of his equipment, he begins to prepare breakfast.

…

[Shadow Points: 5, 500]

[Light points: 8,400]

He is roaming around on the streets, looking for someone to help.

The balance displayed represents his gain for the basic things he has done over the last few days.

The first thing he does is help a child find a cat and other animals, followed by assisting other elderly people with their everyday tasks such as gardening.

That is how he received his points.

Unfortunately, it appears that he is taking way too long to buy something from his shop since he does not have enough money.

A computer set is the cheapest item in the shop, costing ten thousand shadow points and fifteen thousand light points.

It may be confusing, because light points and shadow points are distinct, but both are required to purchase an item.

Every item in the shop has more than just light or shadow points.

Consuming at the same moment requires both shadow and light points.

Anyway, he continues walking, but the sun is too blinding, so he goes down an alleyway.

There, he may assist folks who are actually in need.

He observed some children who were dying of hunger, so he purchased some bread in the near bakery and gave it to them.

[System Processing.]

[Performance: C].

[Difficulty: Easy].

[You got 100 shadow points and 150 light points.]

Suddenly, after he handed out the breads, a crowd of children gathered around him.

He sighed and asked if he might go to purchase some bread.

They eventually left him after providing them.

[System Processing.]

[Performance: B].

[Difficulty: Easy].

[You got 150 shadow points and 200 light points.]

He waits for a few minutes, hoping that those kids may inform others that he is offering free bread, but no one arrives, so he exits the alleyway and continues his march.

…

While walking in the southern area of May City, he noticed a familiar face.

"Good morning, Beatrice. Are you going out somewhere?"

He saw how lovely she looked in her casual clothing and inquired about it.

Her eyebrows lifted, and she had an idea.

"Yeah, I'm gonna have a date with my girlfriends."

"Girlfriends?"

When he heard this, an image of her surrounded by numerous gorgeous females doing something indecent flashed into his mind.

"Is anything wrong?"

"No, everything is alright."

"So why are you looking away?"

"My neck hurts, and I need to go to the clinic. See you later!"

He immediately ran away from her after saying that.

He is growing erect as his nose is bleeding, so he rushes to the nearby alleyway.

"But that's not where the clinic is."

She whispered, glancing at his back.

However, she quickly holds her cheeks because she can't believe how adorable he is.

"I wanted to see him like this again…"

Looking up at the sky, she has a wistful expression, yet her heavy breaths make it appear sexual rather than longing.
