Chapter 6 - 006

John woke up feeling fresh from his good night sleep. He immediately look at the bedside table to check on what time it currently is but to his disappointment there was not a clock in sight. He then looked outside the window and notice it was at least few hours after sunrise.

"System, what time is it?"

[On earth it would be 7am but since this planet has a bigger size than earth so it have a different time system. This planet have 52hour system, 27 hours of daylight and 25 of night.]

"Okay, so does we have daylight savings?"

[This planet has no concept of that.]

"Does we have any clock though? I've didn't noticed any clock since I came inspected this castle yesterday."

[You didn't specified that you wanted a clock, even in the design in your mind didn't have one.]

"Okay. Can I get one wall clock now? Preferably a big wall clock above the quest counter."

[No. You could only buy one outside. You can have it added when you can redecorate the interior of the castle if you have high enough authority to do it.]

"Okay. since we are on the topic of buying something. I don't know about money system here."

[The planet doesn't have a unified currency, some empires, kingdoms and countries have their own currency. The most accepted form of currency is gold coins which weight about 50grams no matter where it's from that is the standard. Next would be silver coins which can be categorized as large, medium and small ones; 100 large silver is equal to 1 gold coin, 100 medium would be equivalent to 1 large silver, you can already guess the small one by this. The copper coins follow the same principle of silver. Some places don't have sub-categories for the silver and copper. There are intercontinental banks that accept the exchange to the common currency, of course for a price.]

While listening to system's explanation, John did his morning routine and took a bath. He put on a camouflaged pattern t-shirt and cargo pants with the same design, he was about to go out when the system's explanation ended.

"Okay. Thanks for the exposition. Are the others now awake?"

[Yes. Tabiatha has already cooked breakfast for those who have woken up early, she is currently cooking another batch for those who has yet to wake up and Anton is washing the dishes. Brandon, Jun and MM are done eating and minding their own business.]

Hearing that the others were already awake John went out of his room. As he was walking through the corridor, a door opened ahead of him and then Jinny came out yawning. Clearly still half-asleep and in her pajamas with drool on her cheeks. Hearing the sound of footsteps coming towards her, she then wiped the drool on her cheeks and check on who was walking towards her, seeing that it was the Guild Master, John, she energetically wave and greeted him. "Good morning John! Hey, d'you think Tabiatha has cooked breakfast yet? I'm kinda hungry already."

John greeted her back, "Yeah she has already cooked breakfast and others are already done eating. You've eaten a lot last night and you're already hungry this early in the morning?" Puzzled on why she's hungry so early in the morning when in fact just last night she ate quite a lot, of course she's behind John and Tabiatha.

Jinny put both her hands on her waist, puffed out her non-existent chest looked up to John and exclaimed. "I'm a growing girl so I need a lot of nutrients to help me grow beautiful just like elder sister Nadya" She explained herself with a mug smile to compliment it.

John looked at a washboard like front of Jinnyfer. "Yeah, right. Go ahead and wash yourself and join me for breakfast others might join us and I can't assure you that the food will be left for you would be to your taste."

"Are you gonna wait for me to finish up? It will be like super quick about 15 minutes? That's the fastest I can wash myself!" Still with her hands still in her waist and not noticing the condescending look John gave at her chest, she seems proud of how "fast" she could wash herself.

"Yeah, just get going and I'll wait here but be quick okay." John replied.

"What!? You don't want to wait in my room? You could sit there while I wash myself. I don't want to make you wait here just standing all alone others might think you are crazy." She tried to persuade him with sincerity that could be hear in her voice.

Hearing this, John couldn't help but smile helplessly. "Nah just gonna take my chances waiting here so you should make sure to wash yourself as quickly as possible, so others wouldn't see me and think I'm crazy as you said." John urged her to get going. She then looked at him and flashed a helpless smile and went inside.

"I think being crazy is far more acceptable than being called pedophile even if I didn't do anything others will still judge me if others saw me coming outside of her room." John muttered to himself he then suddenly remembered the last part where she will be as beautiful as Nadya. He remembered the cold eyes that pierce through him yesterday and he couldn't help but shiver.

A door suddenly opened further ahead the corridor, one that is closer to the stairs, Omega came out looking fresh and clean wearing black long sleeve t-shirt and track pants of the same color. Noticing that someone else is around, she squinted her eyes and looked at John wondering at why he's waiting outsides Jinny's room. Receiving the questioning look from Omega smiled back and greeted her but all he received from her is nonchalant nod she then turned away and went downstairs.

After waiting for more than 10 mins outside the room Jinny came out wearing a pink floral dress and short pants of green color that John don't the name of. "Told you I'd be fast!" She then hopped and skip her way downstairs leaving John behind. John soon followed suit after and went straight ahead to the cafeteria there he saw Omega half-way through her meal and Jinny was looking at variety food at the kitchen counter. John grab a plate of food and went straight to dig in without waiting for Jinny.
