A Week

In one corner of Serene City.

In a small courtyard in front of a decent house, Lucas leaned on his chair and dropped the dilapidated book he was reading to the table beside his right arm.

Compared to before, Lucas demeanor and overall appearance have considerably improved. His clothes were no longer torn, and his body no longer looked dirty and rugged. 

Even his slightly long hair was combed to the back, making his face clean and devoid of any obstructions.

On his left was the figure of the small Gentle Dog, Spot. Resting leisurely, as if without a care of the world.

Gazing up, Lucas sighed in frustration as he digested all the information he learned recently.

It has been a week since he arrived and settled in Serene City.

With the help of Shelsea and the others, he quickly sold most of the valuable items he gathered during his journey and finally bought this decent house with a small courtyard three days ago.
