What is this development?
"Hello, I am Mira, Mira Tsubakihara. I just moved next door from Japan with my daughters and I thought of greeting my new neighbours. I bought a cake to share with."
Noon of this day, where the sun at it's highest. A brownish blonde haired woman introduced herself as Mira Tsubakihara. Hair that shines in gold in the sun and blue eyes that look like the skies, she is a woman you consider beautiful, immensely so. But with immense beauty comes gazes.
Men who saw her will look at her lecherously. She's gotten used to it, but never once liked it. But this is the first time seeing a guy looking at her like this.
The browned haired man's face scrunched to a frown while looking at her. Why is he frowning?
The answer lies in his head.
'Why the fuck do you look so familiar?'
She looks familiar. He does not know jack shit, it's been over 21 years. How could he remember everything in his past life after 21 years, more so if you count said past life as well.
"... The International Criminal Court requested arrest warrants for Israeli leaders for alleged war crimes on May 21 . Warrants were requested for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, as well as three HAMAS leaders, for alleged crimes against humanity in Gaza. Caelum Lucius. Nice to meet you. Thank you."
"A-Ah, w-what?"
"..."
He bluntly said what he needed to say and took the slice of brown cake from her hands.
"..."
"..."
What do you want, why aren't you leaving?
The atmosphere was turning awkward with none of the two saying anything.
"L-lucius, huh. Like light in Latin?"
Mira tried to break the atmosphere.
"Yes."
He said so blandly...
"...So, do you live alone?"
"It's just me, my cat and dog."
"I-I see... So you like animals?"
"Yes."
She tried to continue the conversation but only met a dead end each time. She's not used to people like this. The opposite end would continuously try to make the conversation as long as possible, not her. The turned how have tables.
"T-Then I'll be going now, goodbye sir Imber."
Mira can say her goodbye and turn around. Tactical retreat. And Caelum closed the door and to eat the cake he got.
Mission complete: Neighbors.
"Really, just that? Your social skills are declining each time."
Rewards: 5 points.}
{Total points: 3,959,285
"Just buy something already."}
Caelum hummed at the system's annoyance at him for buying anything and his total points he saved up. The points he got from his grind all amount to this that's almost reaching 4 million with the exception of some things he bought. If he didn't buy those things, he might already have 4 million, possibly 5. But it's worth it anyways.
Some of those are a smartphone that has an undying battery with the unfair ability to hack into any WiFi, the perfect phone! The neighbours WiFi are all mine! It can even run 10 open world games no prob! A basic Grimoire that helped him with magic, the one that taught him magic in the first place. And finally, a self regenerating chocolate box, the most important of all! His addiction to chocolate isn't that bad... He definitely doesn't eat it almost everyday...
If it wasn't for the 1 year beginner discount, he couldn't even even buy all of them.
Although he isn't shy when he get's his eye on something, he does think about his finances of his points. He is a responsible adult after all... Mostly... Most of the time...
The reason for not buying anything was he saw something in the shop menu that made him laugh. Although the thing he saw might be worth little without the uncountable number of fuel it needed, even if that can be checked out if he goes on a genocide route which he doesn't want to... But that can be checked out if with the system selling them. Fortunately, those said fuels are quite cheap. The system description said that these are being sold by a world that has their hell already full. Hell of full, blood is fuel.
But buying the said item cost over 10 million points, which he isn't even half way there... Sadgers.
He can only hope that what the system is trying to load for would increase his points income. He demands to be given an increase in salary!
"Meow."
A cat sounded with it accompanying the tickle of fur on his leg.
"Bella~, pat pat pat pat."
A black cat rubbed against Caelum's leg and meowed again. Caelum pat the cat calmly.
"No Bella, cakes are not good for you."
Patting the cat and understanding the cat's desire, he denied it. Cakes, although okay in small portions, are poisonous to cats, they are carnivorous and ingredients in cakes are not desirable to be digested by cats. Remember people. Don't feed your cat cake, but a small amount is acceptable.
"Mwww."
The Bombay cat let out a sad pur.
"Now now. I'll give you something else. Be patient and go get Duke."
He has more social points in talking with animals than with people...
The cat turned around to get the dog.
Going to the kitchen to get chicken and putting it in the pet bowls raw.
Raw meat is more desirable for animals, you're feeding food in its most digestible state. Cooking the food alters its makeup, causing essential nutrients and enzymes to become less bioavailable.
Pitter patter of paws draws closer with the cat and a Coton De Tulear arrives to devour food.
The tulear seeing its owner made it run excitedly around Caelum.
"Calm down Duke, I have already put chicken in your bowl, go and eat that."
"Woof."
With a bark, the dog walks to its bowl with the cat already eating.
Caelum got these two pets somewhere about 3 years ago. He found the cat injured in some alleyway and being bored at that time, took it. The tolear he found is when it was just a cub, it was next to a garbage pile. Like the cat, he was bored and snatched it for himself.
He has a small bit of experience in taking care of animals with his past, so taking care of 2 pets was okay for him.
Eating the cake, it tastes like chocolate, his favourite.
The two pets are more intelligent than others. Both can understand him, they can do tricks instantly when he teaches them. Fortunately, both aren't so energetic and hyperactive, content to laze around inside the house, although the doberman needs regular jogs early in the morning.
They're not part of the supernaturals, they're just smart.
I leaned on the chair, already finished eating the cake.
"..."
Staring outside, intrusive thoughts were welcomed.
"...I'm bored..."
The system would give me a task or something to do at this moment when I have nothing to do, but the only thing it has on its screen is this god-forsaken 99%. The desire to punch something is sitting on me as I see that annoying percentage.
... I'll take Duke and Bella for an enthusiastic walk at Romania then... Maybe there's a cliché of someone getting in trouble with the not normal or something, lol.
.
I was just joking about that part though... I think? I forgot. Meh.
Bella, off the top of my head, hissed and Duke barked while being leashed on the leash I'm holding on my right hand while my left holding an umbrella.
A girl? Guy? Lay bleeding at the grass. Blonde and petite, desperately trying to beg for help while a group of people surrounded us.
"Who are you?"
Well, looky here, a completely random encounter!
