"F*ck I couldn't save him in the end."
The paramedic cursed under her breath as tears streaked down her cheeks, because Dracula was more their highest-ranking NCO to each of them.
He was their father whom some of them never had, a brother who was more of a brother than a blood one, and a friend you could always count on.
...
What the f*ck Im dreaming now?
I couldn't help but curse In my mind after dreaming of my death which resulted In my corpse being chosen for the cosmic marine program.
After all a corpse that no one was going to miss and was officially dead with witnesses to prove It was the best candidate for the mad scientists to experiment on.
Only gods know how those wackos managed to bring me back to life.
While I opened my eyes only to see Hope sucking on my standing at-attention trooper as if it was a lollipop.
"Urgh."
I grunted out in pleasure as out of reflex I grabbed her head and pushed it down as hard as I could causing Hope to start gaging as I unloaded my load directly into her throat.
"Cough*Cough* asshole you almost dislocated my jaw!"
Hope complained after spitting out my sterile genetic material while massaging her aching jaw.
"Sorry..."
I muttered under my breath as I massaged my for some reason aching 360-degree grotesque barbed wire scar on my neck.
Which shouldn't be possible because my pain receptors had been surgically disabled just like me being able to dream.
It seemed like the one behind the system was messing with me again and I didn't like It one bit.
Huh? What's wrong with him? he actually apologized and why the f*ck Is he rubbing that grotesque scar of his?
The surprised Hope thought as she started studying Dracula's neck scar more closely.
"Where did you get this one?"
Hope asked as she lightly touched the scar and started tracing her finger through It.
"I died once..."
I answered as I sat up In the bed causing Hope's eyes to widen In surprise.
"What was It like? Did you see a light at the end of the tunnel or...?"
Before Hope could finish her words I cut her short.
"I saw nothing It was no different from falling asleep, I blacked out and woke up on an operating table It's simple as that, there's no heaven or hell there's nothing you simply cease to exist after death"
I answered slightly Irritated at Hope for asking that kind of question.
"I see..."
Hope said as she hugged my side and rested her face on my chest, for a few moments we continued to enjoy each other's warmth In silence until I spoke up.
"So are you ready to go back to my world?"
I asked because I wasn't sure Hope was mentally ready to head back.
"Yeah, I am"
Hope answered without hesitation to my surprise.
"Good then we will need to order a bunch of canned food and other long-term shelf food before we head back"
I said as a plan of how to get filthy rich In my world formed Inside my mind.
"You're going to sell that food at sky-high prices aren't you?"
Hope asked as she narrowed her eyes and pinched my waist expecting me to wince only to see no change In my expression which left her beyond disappointed.
"Yep and the flying dragons citys elites are going to pay a premium for It, which In turn will allow us to buy a shitload of gear and other stuff"
I answered not mentioning the fact that I basically spent all the money I earned on the booze and women.
"But first things first, I gonna pay the good doctor to hook you up with my battle brother's cybernetic implants and biomechanical organs"
I said while looking at Hope with a devilish smirk as I grabbed her ass and squeezed It.
"Ouch! Ouch!, stop it you're squeezing too hard!"
Hope protested as she started banging my chest with her fists.
"Hmph! That's what you get for pinching my waist, anyways once you are up and running again we are going to rob the bank clean, the mercenaries that I hired only grabbed a few gold bars, they didn't break Into the vault Itself so Im 90 percent sure that Its still full of gold"
I explained as I let go of Hope's bottom with my red handprint allowing her to massage It.
"Tch! Just you wait I'll get my revenge once I'm stuffed with those upgrades!"
Hope muttered under her breath which didn't go unheard of by me.
"Oh yeah?"
I asked with a devilish grin as I pinned Hope underneath me and started kissing her neck.
"Yeah, you're gonna regret it!"
Hope remained defiant even as I traveled down her body while leaving hickey marks on her skin.
"In your dreams"
I said with a grin from ear to ear before I buried my head between her legs, It didn't take long before all Hope could do was moan.
We spent the rest of our days playing around In the bed, basking In the sunlight, drinking ourselves to death and just doing random stuff to our heart's content.
By the time, the last day arrived our suit had been trashed beyond recognition, thankfully the cost of repairs was included In the staying cost so we didn't have to pay a penny.
"I really need to fabricate a passport for myself"
I muttered under my breath as Hope put her hand on my chest.
"Don't worry I'll take you out as soon as I can"
Hope comforted me but It didn't make me feel at ease at all, because there was no telling what the one behind the system would do to me this time.
"F*ck it just do It already"
I declared while running my gloved hand through my hair as I did Hope activated her Inventory causing me to get sucked Inside her palm.
Once done Hope quickly checked out from the resort, boarded her plane, and after flying back to C*ina beelined straight to her apartment.
Once she closed her apartment door she extended her palm and took out Dracula from her inventory.
"Huh? I feel fine?"
I couldn't help but mutter to myself as I Inspected my body only to see that I was in my optimal condition.
Yep, the last time was definitely a warning to be a good dog, and It seemed like after I became one the system no longer felt like punishing me.
I couldn't help but think with dark lines all over my face.
Just you wait you f*cker I'll make sure to give you some of your own medicine one day.
I thought while grinding my teeth In anger which didn't go unnoticed by Hope who chose not to say anything.
...
A few days later.
"And that's the f*cking last one..."
I muttered to myself as I peeled off the last meat cans label and after that tossed It next to the pile of other ones.
Once I was done I took out my newly bought vape from my pants pocket and inhaled deeply, the reason why I was doing this.
Well, It's quite simple, I didn't want anyone to know that the food I was going to sell was made In 2021.
After all this kind of date would raise a lot of questions to which I didn't have believable answers.
So here I was for a couple of last days peeling off labels like a common army grunt peels off potatoes.
As I exhaled the cloud of smoke from my mouth I stood up and started equipping my neatly to the side arranged gear.
