Gray and Lily were now back at their apartment after spending more time going around the mall.
Gray was seated on his small bed. Lily had already gone to rest, so he had all the time in the world to think rationally about the system.
However, before that, he reached into his pocket and pulled out the two calling cards that the girls gave him.
Emily Lancaster.
Chloe Lancaster.
Their names and numbers were printed on thick and elegant paper. Gray stared at them for a while. In a second, a small and amused smile appeared on his face.
"This is getting better than I expected," he muttered.
Just a few days ago, he was worrying about where to get their next meal. Heck, he even considered ending his life. But now he was casually receiving numbers from girls way out of his league.
Gray let out a quiet breath. He looked up at their plain and old dusty ceiling for a moment.
'Alright... System. Can you hear me?' Gray asked in his head.
'I've been meaning to ask. What exactly are you?' Gray's brows furrowed as he thought of it.
'So you mean, you're like a cheat tool in life?'
'I see..' Gray smirked.
'And the money? That card? Where's all that coming from?'
'What kind of privileges are there?' It piqued the curiosity of Gray.
Growing up, privilege was a word that he hadn't even used to describe his life. It was a new and foreign thing, and he couldn't wait to experience it.
'So this thing's only getting started, huh...' Gray thought as he recalled the events from earlier.
Gray stared at the two cards again in front of it.
"So what do I need to do now?"
As the system gave him an answer, a flood of notifications sounded afterward.
Gray blinked as the familiar translucent screen popped up in front of him once more.
"Huh... now that's something new." He raised an eyebrow as he saw the sudden mission.
Gray leaned back against the headboard of his bed. He stared at the mission details for a while without saying a word.
Then, slowly, he let out a loud sigh.
"Getting close to the Lancaster family, huh..." he muttered.
It sounded simple when read out loud. But Gray knew better.
The Lancaster family wasn't just some rich family from the town. They were at the top. They were powerful. Untouchable. The kind of people who lived in another world entirely.
Gray let out another sigh. He was doubting if he could even do it.
"...Can I really do this?" he said to himself.
Gray raised an eyebrow at the sudden system response.
"Well, I'm just being real, System. It's the Lancasters we're talking about. I might've gotten their attention once... but that's because of pure lack and my hatred for Nathan. But staying in their world? That's something else, you know."
Gray glanced up as if hope found him.
"What kind of assist?"
Gray paused for a second. Then he nodded. It was a good opportunity.
"Yeah. Show me everything you've got."
A new screen appeared in front of Gray.
