Chapter 2463: The Next Morning

Although he had spent mostly all his contribution points, Frank still had quite a lot of accumulated System Points ready to be used. Some of them were needed to Rank Up his Class, as he had to spend a certain sum of System Points every time he had to Rank Up. But aside from that, it was also possible to spend it buying items in the System Shop.

Generally, he could even gain new skills through the shop, and even equipment, but most things in this shop were extremely expensive at the tens of thousands or even more, so he was not always capable of even spending a dime.

But now he had some money, quite a bit of these points in fact, for a few things, maybe...

However, he was still wondering when his ability to travel worlds would be regained, as it had been truly quite a while since he hadn't had it.

"Hm... Well, it should be enough with that for now."

He decided to save the points he had and spend them on something important if the opportunity arises and he needed something to save him.

Frank walked downstairs greeting his parents, who were already eating breakfast.

"Good morning dear, did you sleep well? Have you done your homework yet?" asked his mother, kissing his forehead.

"There wasn't any homework so I'm good," he nodded.

"Alright, try to not get back so late today though, I know you like hanging out with Matsuo

and your friends, but you shouldn't spend all day with them," said her mother. "If you have to study or got some homework to do, you should prioritize that!"

"Okay, okay, I get it..." nodded Frank, yawning a bit.

"Come on, it's not too bad, let the boy have his youth in peace," laughed his stepfather. "Is Kamei woken up yet?"

"She should be getting here anytime, I heard her walking into the bathroom," said Frank, looking at his phone while eating pancakes. "Hm?"

As he checked the news mostly uninterested, he noticed there were a lot of ads about some new game being spammed everywhere.

It was a new game being advertised all the time, in every video, news page, and also the social media.

It was called "Demon King's Dungeon Quest" and it was some sort of dungeon crawling Gacha game, annoyingly so.

"I once liked gachas, but I am not really interested on playing this anymore... Block ad please."

Frank had blocked the same ad like three times already, yet more of the same game kept popping.

Whoever was promoting this mobile game must be rich if they could afford so much advertising.

"Good morning..."

Frank heard his sister walking downstairs, greeting everyone while yawning, she looked sleepy, more than usual.

"Girl, you look so sleepy today! Did you had troubles sleeping?" wondered her mother.

"A-Ah! No, I'm fine, really," Kamei muttered, looking a bit flustered, as if she was hiding something.

"I bet you were playing some game on your phone or something," said Frank, half-jokingly. "Eeh! N-No way...!" Kimiko muttered; she was terrible at lying.

Her parents looked at one another as her mother served her some pancakes with fruits and whipped cream, and her father gave her a hot chocolate.

"Tone down the games at night, Kamei, or we'll be forced to take away your phone," said her mother.

"We'll replace it for one of those old Nokia phones that have no apps and are only good for calling," laughed her father.

"Wait, no! I wasn't playing! I-I swear...!" Kamei lied very badly.

"Hahah, I guess I was like you before, but you'll get bored of it eventually," said Frank. "Or not... I mean, I still like console games."

His life had been quite busy though, since he awakened his powers and everything else, the life of a simple and normal human was now very distant.

Before, when he had plenty of time to kill, he would happily play games, watch anime, and read manga, but over time, the action and adrenaline of living in the Underworld part of society was enough to keep him entertained.

"I wasn't playing any games! S-Stop it!" Kamei ate her pancakes very grumpily. "I want fish and rice for breakfast tomorrow mom... I'm bored of pancakes."

"Ah, well, of course dear," nodded her mother. "I might've gotten lazy for breakfast, haha." "She's grumpier than usual too..." Frank noticed. "Is it the lack of sleep? Hm..."

Frank gently patted Kamei's head, making her a bit irritated, but used his Gift of Life Skill to heal her exhaustion by giving her some lifeforce.

"Ah... Huh? I feel... better? What did you do?"

"I gave you a brotherly head pat, of course! It has supernatural powers, did you know?

Hahah!"

Frank joked around, but it was indeed some sort of supernatural power that helped her recover her stamina.

"Weird... Maybe the sugar helped me, I don't feel as sleepy," Kamei noticed, drinking the hot chocolate.

As they were about to go, their mother ran towards them with small lunch boxes.

"Don't forget your bento, alright?"

She handed them both their lunch in small wooden boxes, which her children packed in their backpacks before leaving.

On the way to the metro, Frank noticed something again, his sister was playing in her phone.

It was a game with slightly pixelated graphics where she advanced through a colorful dungeon with different floors.

There, she had a party of handsome anime boys wielding weapons and magic, attacking the monsters and advancing through the dungeon.

"Ah, dammit..."

She complained as she was struggling against a boss monster, a three-headed dog with

flames on its body.

"Uh, so you were playing a game, eh? It's not good to lie, you know?"

"J-Just don't tell mom and dad, okay? Please?"

"Sure... Whatever, I mean, I used to do the same anyways."

"This damn dog doesn't want to die..."

Suddenly, the message [Game Over] appeared on Kamei's screen, as she was teleported to the lobby of the game, where the various handsome anime boys talked to her with charming fully

voiced dialogues.

"We can try next time, don't give up!"

"We should start a new strategy."

"Perhaps better equipment might do it?"

"No matter what, I'll remain at your side, my rose."

"Eheh..."

Kamei giggled slightly strangely as she glanced at the handsome husbandos.

Frank squinted his eyes but said nothing.
