"Oh, it's nice that you have left. Is your friend going to drop you home, or should I come to pick you up from her place?" Ryder asked her.

Alice didn't answer him immediately.

Ryder could hear her talking to her friend. After some time, she replied to him.

"She will drop me home."

"Alright. I'll come home then," Ryder said to her.

The call was disconnected.

Ryder walked out of place and noticed the black-dressed men were still lying on the ground. Some of them were awake now. They were trying to help their fellow guys.

Ryder casually walked past them and left the place.

He walked towards his car. There was a large truck standing on the side of his car, hiding it from the view of the public.

He walked to the other side of the truck and entered his car. He started the car and got on the road and started racing it towards his home.

"Janus, I like the experience system, and I could feel my strength increase every time I level up, but I don't understand one thing. When I killed that terrorist, why didn't I get exp? He had attacked me first, and I killed him. If we go by the logic, then I should've received experience," Ryder said to Janus.

Previously he didn't think about it, but after he understood the exp system more because of the fight that he went through, he was starting to get curious about it.

<Because you were killed. You can't get experience from the person that kills you in the real world>

Janus replied to him.

"I wasn't killed. The time would've reset by 24 hours if I was killed," Ryder pointed out.

<The time only rewinds after you stay dead for 5 seconds, but the skill 'Ruler of Nature' revived you instantly. That's why the time didn't reset>

"Oh, so I actually died. That makes it the second time I died in the real world," Ryder chuckled with a self-deprecating look on his face.

Janus didn't say anything.

Ryder reached home and parked his car in the parking lot.

Just when he was parking, Estonia passed by him in her car and left.

Ryder stepped out of the car and walked towards his house.

Ryder knocked on the door.

"Alice? Are you back?" he asked.

The door was opened, and a girl jumped into his arms like lightning.

Alice hugged Ryder firmly as she started crying.

"It's alright. No one is going to harm you. I'm here, always," Ryder told Alice as he wrapped his arms around her gently.

"I-i was so scared. That person was scary," Alice told Ryder. Her voice sounded muffled as her face was hidden in Ryder's chest.

"Was the bad guy dressed that scared you, wearing yellow clothes and a Single Attack Man's mask? He was the person that was fighting the black-clothed men? Ryder asked Alice.

"Y-yes. Did you meet him?" Alice asked as she looked towards Ryder's face.

"Meet him? I beat the heck out of that guy! He defeated the black-clothed men, and he was running away. I realized that he must be a bad person, and I started chasing after him."

"What happened next?" Alice asked Ryder.

"I caught up to the man and beat him up before giving him to the police. Don't worry about him. You won't ever see him again," Ryder comforted her.

"Really? Thank you," Alice smiled before she separated from him.

"You can rest in your room while I start preparing for dinner. It's going to be your favorite tonight," Alice told him as she walked inside the house.

'Well, I had to beat myself up, but I guess it's good that she's happy. I should've been more careful when following them. I scared them for no reason.'

It was 7:30 pm as he entered the house and walked into his room. The sun had already gone to brighten another part of this earth. It was dark outside.

He fell down on his bed and closed his eyes. He finally had the time to relax.

After around 10 minutes, he sat up.

He brought out the Deity Phone from his storage ring.

It was an item he had received when he unlocked one of the mystery boxes. It was also known as the Mythical Phone. He was informed that it was a phone using which he could contact any legendary or mythical person.

Through it, he could call mythical legends for advice if he needed to have his questions answered. They will answer him to the best of their abilities

The cost of the call depended on the person he called. He was told that there were some that would cost hundreds of credits per minute, while some would be much cheaper.

He never used his origin points to recharge the Deity Phone as he felt like it was a waste, but now that he had free 50 credits, he decided to give it a try.

He turned on the phone and looked at the contact screen. The contract screen that was empty last time now had names on it. There was a cost written in front of each of the names. Some were five credits per minute, while others were 50 Credits per minute. 

There was not a single name that cost more than 50 credit points.

"I guess I can't see more names as I don't have enough credits even to see their names on the contact list. Anyway, what's with some of the contacts? Is this really the Mythical Phone? Why is there a Bread Boy who costs ten coins per minute?" Ryder asked Janus.

<You can see their details by clicking on their name>

Ryder nodded his head as he tapped on the name of Bread Boy.

The details opened in front of him on the phone screen.

[Bread Boy: Also known as the magician of bread. His bread is so delicious that every person who eats his bread becomes his friend. He is also known as the destroyer of sorrows. His bread can make people happy no matter how sad they are]

"Really? What kind of advice can I ask him? How to make bread? Even if I want to learn, it's impossible that he can teach me his specialty in 5 minutes. Not useful," Ryder closed the screen and went back on the contacts.

He was going through the names and found many weird names. Some of the names included— Master Cleaner, Insect Hunter, Love Destroyer, Failed Swordsman, Chivalrous Knight, and many more.

He kept reading through the names, but ultimately he found a name that shocked him.

"Why is his name here?" Ryder asked in shock.
