Landon had just woken up, but was unable to move. He sat there whilethinking of the adventure he had just undergone. While it may have been a rough ride for him, it was undoubtedly the most exhilaratingtime of his life. The only thing he wanted to do was dive right backin and see the results of the quest! Seeing as how he died and has towait 24 hours how could he? Landon could only sit in the Box unitrefusing to leave the seat looking through his memories over and overagain, it was official he had a lot of fun. Now that he had started[Second Saga] there was no way he could stop. Regardless of themisfortune that happened, making new friends, the gear the escape fromthe village, the stampede, everything was a moment of fun to him.However even though he had fun he remembered his family, those he hadto take care of. So no matter how much of a game it was to others,that didnt apply to Landon, it was now his life. It was time to startleveling more seriously; he needed to find rare gear, not just gearthat pertained to his class, but other classes as well so he couldsell it off for money. The Old man was right, the faster he became aCore gamer the easier it would be to sell off the gear. The reason forthis was because then he could choose the right time when the majorityof players reached that level, that way the price would only lead to abidding war. After being encouraged to try harder, Landon got up andwent to sleep.

The next morning Landon thankfully woke up on time. He got dressed inhis everyday no name clothing that begged people to call him poor.This was something Landon was used too; people would stare at him likehe was a freak of nature, but it didnt matter because that was thelife he lived and he was happy with it.

Ding ding.

Good morning~

An energetic voice welcomed Landon, but instead of being overly happyabout such a greeting he was instead staring at the owner of thevoice. It was a young girl, with her hair tied back into a ponytailand bright blue eyes, energetically walking about serving customers.

Brother whats wrong?

Thats right the owner of the voice was his sister, Azla; thats notall either as Lisa was also there in a servers apron. Both of hissisters were working at the Old mans restaurant and Landon, who wasshocked, stared at this situation due to the fact he did not know whatto make of it.

Ah, youre here squirt. Sit down and have some breakfast; you rushedto work today and didnt eat right?

UhYeah Old man why did you kidnap my sisters and force theminto child labour?

Hey, even as a joke that one hurts my pride. I would never do that toa couple of pretty young girls.

Pervert.

What did you say Steve? Better yet why are you here this early in themorning; youre not welcome, leave.

Hey dont you think thats a bit rude, Im a paying customer after all!

The hell you are, you havent paid for a single thing ever since youstarted coming here.

Oh really?

Both of you are going to scare the customers off. If you continue,you know what will happen right?

Right

The two old men just sulked and agreed with Sarah who came fromupstairs. She looked towards Landon and his sisters then she said.

Actually they decided to work here for their older brother, arentyou lucky to be looked after like this?

Huh? That makes no sense I still have bills to pay after all?

Ah brother, dont worry youll still be getting the money!

Lisa responded to his confusion with a bashful smile.

Why?

He was too confused, it was too sudden after all, but before he couldthink clearly Azla continued.

Because we want to help you after all, we know youve been workinghard for us for a long time; therefore we want to help you a little aswell. This will give you time to play [Second Saga] and help us moreright? So just think of it as a deposit~

Brat, heres your food so quickly eat and get out of here. I dontwant to hear any arguments; your foster parents already agreed, butyou still have to work Saturdays with Sarah.

Wait Sarah isnt working either?

Nope! Ive been working here since I was a kid after all, so Imtaking my long overdue holiday indefinitely.

But sweetiee!

Sarah only ignored her father and quickly went back upstairs. Her boxunit had just arrived, thus she was excited to try it out immediately.

Thats how it is Brother, so eat and leave~

Azla quickly shoved a plate filled with bacon, eggs, and toast intoLandons hands, while Liza pushed him down into a chair. Now that he

thought about it he did eat a light meal last night, it would bebetter for him to take the offer and leave; after all his sisterslooked like they were enjoying themselves and it made him slightlyhappy they wanted to help.

But We both decided that on Sundays you have to give us yourattention and cant play your game alright!?

Lisa quietly whispered so only he and Azla could hear. Landon onlynodded and wolfed down his food. It only took a few minutes to finish,

and naturally his sisters couldnt stay and chat as they were stillworking. It may not have been busy at the shop today, but they wereclearly new thus it took a bit longer to take orders. Even still thecustomers didnt seem to mind, instead they encouraged the girls ifthey made a mistake; it was a heartwarming scene.

Alright, well I wont thank you as youre getting your reward later.Take care girls, and dont let this Old man give you any candy!

Ooookaaay~

Hey, what kind of person do you think I..

Before the Old man could finish Landon had already left, while Stevehad stared at Michael before calling out to him.

Didnt you want to ask him about [Second Saga]?

The Old man silently wept to himself depressed.

As Landon was walking home he forget one piece of information, even ifhe did have the day off, he still died in the game and couldnt play!

Guess Ill just go wander the supermarket and look for cheap deals

Depressed, Landon walked home with a slow unmotivated pace.

Haaah Its finally time. I made a big dinner, and I dont need toworry about working until Saturday; as thats 4 days away I can diveall day only stopping to eat and sleep. Okay Start!

Landon, who was sitting in the Box unit, called out as hisconsciousness was cut. He soon woke back up in the church for the 3rdtime. He wasnt sure if this was the only place he would respawn, asevery time he played the game he had always died before logging out.

As he exited the church the loud chatter was even louder than normal,when he tried to overhear the topics he was somewhat embarrassed.

Hey did you know who that man was that brought the stampede?

No, but he was amazing what a hero! If it wasnt for him this citywould have been destroyed!

I didnt get to see his facebut do you remember the rumours about that amazing swordsman yesterday called Shadow? Apparently people are saying it was him!

Do they remember what he looked like?

Thats just the thing, everyone has forgotten! People are also sayinghe used bewitching potions to make them forget so he could remainanonymous!

Ooohas expected of a hero like Shadow.

No, like seriously who would even take the effort to make hundreds ofpotions to make users forget my face

Is what Hydra wanted to say, but clearly it didnt matter much. Peoplenow only knew him by nickname so he could roam freely, only he wouldhave to be careful about how he used his [Shadow Arm] as to notattract too much attention to himself from now on.

Maybe I should whisper Rina and them, starting the game with themwould be fun after all!

As Hydra called out to Rina there was no response, thus he decided tomessage Lila, and likewise he was ignored.

Strange it says they are onlineare they in a boss fight or something?

He tried one last time to Goliath, as he enjoyed getting attentionbecause he was usually ignored.

Hydra

Yes! He answered okay lets see

But before he could get return a response Goliath messaged him first.

We have decided to venture out by ourselves. We are going to createthe strongest guild together. When we do, we will come find you; inthe meantime, you must become the strongest player in [Second Saga]otherwise we will never fight together again!

Huh? Whats this suppose to mean!

Hydra was confused, for the second time today he was dumbfounded. Hehad no idea how to respond, but when he thought to ask a return

message came saying he was blocked!

Urgh. I dont get it, but I know you guys arent the type to do

anything without a reason. So all I have to do is become the strongestright? Sounds good. Lets do it!
