Preparation Part 1

Adam was treated much better in the store and the people there seemed to recognise him and were respectful when helping him.

He paid the rent for a month for a nice apartment on the edge of Brooklyn near the Brooklyn Bridge, which was near to his Aunt's hospital, was less dangerous and gave him easy access to another borough.

"Here are your keys and your door card, the rent will be taken out of your account at the start of each month and if you wish to cancel just get in contact with an agent," respectfully stated the real estate agent.

Taking the keys, Adam left straight away and put his hood back on as he walked towards the direction that he knew the apartment he had rented was in.

They were surprised that Adam didn't have a smartphone and everything that they observed from him was discreetly noted, which didn't go unnoticed by the attentive Adam.

"The youth that came in is called Adam and chose not to have a surname as an orphan, he is paying for his carer Janet Green's medical bills who is a vegetative state, he has no other relatives and left education at 15 and has been working for 3 years. He paid nearly 6000 dollars in rent straight away for apartment 44 of the new buildings built on the outer area of Brooklyn and doesn't have a smartphone," reported the man to the girl.

"Hmmmm, that is interesting, but he is still an ant in the real world and is ignorant to what real power is,"

"Should I keep tabs on him," asked the man.

"No need, he wouldn't be a useful plaything and is still too weak. Time to leave this place full of peasants," stated the girl arrogantly.

"Yes, miss" answered the man who seemed to be her butler.

Leaving through the back entrance, the butler opened the back door of the latest model limousine and drove off.

"I hate it when father sends me to these poor places, he says it's for experience and to widen my mind to improve my cultivation speed," pouted the girl as the limousine drove off.

Meanwhile, Adam realised he hadn't eaten all day and was hungry.

[I need a map or something to help me get around without a smartphone as I don't know the area well enough]

Adam's hunter mind made his survival instincts extreme to the point he wanted to be prepared for any situation.

Seeing the yellow taxis driving by, he thought that would be the easiest method of travel for him as money wasn't an issue for him.

Finding a nearby ATM, he withdrew a few hundred dollars and placed it in his pocket.

Placing his arm out, signalling a nearby taxi, he entered the back after it stopped in front of him.

"Brooklyn bridge park" stated Adam to the driver.

Nodding his head, the taxi driver began to drive.

It wasn't very far from where he had rented and Adam could visit his Aunt.

In less than twenty minutes he had arrived and paid the driver 40 dollars which was more than double what he needed to pay.

Adam walked to the hospital that was nearby and did the usual.

He filled in the visiting form and headed to the coma ward where he would find his Aunt.

Seeing his Aunt, the one that took him in and raised him, while working two jobs to provide for him, and she wasn't even his mother, then to see her in such a state made tears begin to flow from his eyes.

Despite the tears, his red eyes were steady and his expression stayed the same.

Kissing her forehead, Adam knew that staying there wouldn't help either of them.

"Aunt I will heal you then make you live the easiest and most luxurious life" vowed Adam into her ear, then turned around and left.

Checking his newly bought phone he saw that it was midday now and Adam's only thought was returning to the dungeon and that he must prepare his mind and body.

Walking out of the hospital, Adam headed towards his newly acquired apartment, which was very expensive and could only be afforded by the rich, and entered the building.

The ground floor was a reception where he could find a cafe, restaurant and people to help him out.

Everything he saw was expensive from the marble floors to the expensive furniture and chandeliers, but the wealth didn't attract him in the slightest.

Adam ignored everybody and after showing his door card headed towards the staircase.

Walking up four flights of stairs to the fourth floor he walked down the long corridor lined with soft red carpet and found his apartment.

Scanning his door card and opening the door with his keys, it revealed a large apartment that had an open design.

There was a large modern kitchen with everything he needed and had a table for 6.

The living room was open so wasn't far from the kitchen and had an L-shaped leather sofa.

It was a very modern and simple design which was why Adam chose it.

He was happy with where he was staying and where he planned to live with his Aunt after he healed her.

The incredible view was watching over Brooklyn bridge and the park.

There were two master bedrooms and another guest room and each room had a toilet, with an additional public toilet in the apartment.

"Its exactly as I pictured it" mumble Adam who was happy, but still had a calm expression.

"I must be prepared for any situation and have already drawn in the attention of a billionaire Maxwell family" observed Adam.

The way he was treated when he was looking for a place to stay was too unusual and everybody in the place was monitoring him.

If an average human had 10 points for each stat, Adam knew that he was only slightly above average and fighting an armed person with a blade, who weren't as stupid as goblins, would be almost impossible.

In a country where everybody had access to firearms and crime was common, Adam knew that he wouldn't be safe unless he was strong and prepared.

"It can't be that I am the only person that can LVL UP because the guard was LVL 4" he exclaimed.
