Restart: Enter the ice queen

"Dart, your rent has almost expired! This time you are not going to owe me anymore. If you do not pay, then pack-out!" An angry woman from outside the window, waking Dart.

Dart woke with a start, and with some aerodynamic stunt landed on his feet.

'Crack', and Dart screamed in pain. He exerted more stain on his body than he should, his body hence protested against the abuse. It has been a while since he felt pain, and was unprepared for the backlash.

"Hey, I told you to pay your rent, not kill yourself da** it" the woman angrily "I am not going to pay condolences for you too!"

The woman ran to the door to Dart's room, and with a bunch of keys she always carries in person, unlocks the door. The shabby house allowed those at the bottom of the economy to pay for lodging, but it also means that the caretaker would have headaches about the activities of the occupants. The overwhelming number of people alone that kill themselves over drugs and dept could not be overstated. For example, some weeks back, she told an occupant that he should pay his rent, only for him to hang himself. Such an incident was not rare.

When she opened the door, 'Whoosh' a shadow dove at her with its eyes giving out a glint of light, "Not you too!" she yelled and with a powerful punch, sent Dart back into the room. Yet again the teenager dove at her, but this time at her leg.

"No, you don't" and she kicked. This kick, however, did not meet its target. With a manoeuvring technique that she could not believe, Dart dodged her kick and hugged her other leg.

'Crack' and Dart screamed again, worse than the other time. "Ahh madam eve, been soo long I've seen you! So glad you are ok…"

It took a moment for this woman to get over this shock. She is a martial artist hence this "moment" was not long. 'This boy has gotten to the state of shamelessness' she thought.'he does not want to pay!'

"Get off me you leech" she yelled and with her hand she held Dart's head, trying to detach him from her leg. When she exerted too much force, there would be a 'cracks and Dart would scream. When she tries to rid him using techniques, he would start moaning aloud lewdly as a counter attack.

This got the attention of the other occupants, as they hang around the room murmuring.

Dart's counter was indeed infuriating, that large veins popped up on her head. With a decisive move of ramming Dart and her leg into the wall ended the boat, Dart crumbled to the floor.

"You are still paying your rent!" she reprimands Dart "stubborn Darty"

Immediately Eve walked out of his room, she saw other tenants were around talking to themselves in hushed amplitudes. Eve wondered why they had gathered, but when she remembered Dart's counter, she blushed in embarrassment.

The tenant however misinterpreted, and all gave a 'hiss', inhaling through their teeth sharply.

"I was wondering why caretaker is alone. Who would've thought that she like this kind of thing!" one of the tenants said, audible enough to Eve's hearing.

"Caretaker is in her thirties and is still pretty. If this is the kind of thing she likes, I am available!" one of the tenants that gives Eve a headache declared.

As if given the go, the tenants no longer spoke in a hushed tone, and started telling their views and declarations. Some went as far to declare and confess to her.

Knowing that it would be a fruitless venture to try reprimanding them, with a humph, she made her leave.

Dart opened his door head out, shirtless. "Thanks, Eve for coming, I am pleased" Dart called.

"Get back inside and rest your body!" Eve said through clenched teeth, hoping not to raise more dust.

"I will do just that, you really did put some strain on my body," he said, not minding the ice queen, and shut the door as he retreats inside.

With another hiss, the tenants began to work up a frenzy.

"You damn brat!" Eve spat in annoyance.

Meanwhile inside the room. Our MC, Dart smiled. Eve told him on her deathbed that, her greatest regret was not living the social life. To that end, he has opened this door to her.

'It really did work. Sixty whole years to the past! Collecting the complete "one piece "has allowed my memories to be sent 60 years to the past!' Dart had worried that it might have not worked as 60 years was before the domain. He was forced to make this gamble as those he trusted left him to die.

It was about 6 months to the domain's existence, so there are things he must prepare. First, he needs quick cash!

'This time won't be like the last. This time trust will have to be earned!'
