The Dungeon System
16. old friend?part 2

"Sarah" he cried in consciousness.

Adam was your average student when he was in high school and while he ignored his Aunt's hard work and struggles, he had a normal school life.

She has many friends and some close friends she spends every day, one of whom is Sarah, but when her life collapses in the middle of 10th grade, she suddenly has to leave them behind.

Knowing the young man at the school, rumors spread that he had died or left the country and no one knew exactly where he was going and what happened to him.

Little did they know that Adam worked 2 jobs and lived on the streets as he paid his Aunt's medical bills.

The rough lifestyle continued for 2 and a half years and Adam did not give up, despite his struggles, until he was blessed by the Underground Prison System and within 2 days changed his life completely.

"Everyone thinks you died or left the country so suddenly, but look at you now living in a nice place and looking so good ...."

Sarah paused in the middle of the sentence, realizing what she was saying.

Adam with his calm red eyes, neatly tied black hair, and now quite muscular body was quite handsome and it was mostly due to his charisma that was enhanced by the system.

"I'm obviously not dead and haven't left the country so you can calm down and I have to leave because I'm in a bad situation" Adam said calmly.

Hearing this, Sarah looked at him and where he lived and became extremely frustrated by the fact that he could still say this was a bad situation and his calm expression made him think he was mocking him.

"Who knows money can turn you so much and you're so arrogant" she yells at him in frustration as she exits her apartment and slams the door.

There is a massive miscommunication and Adam is confused as to why his old friend is angry with him.

"What's my fault" he murmured to himself.

Replaying the scene in her mind, she sees that she is angry when she says that she has to leave school due to being in a bad situation that might make her angry, and made him assume that he was in a bad situation and assume that he lived like this for the past two and a half years.

[If only he knew that I was homeless two days ago] he thought to himself..

He was a little annoyed that finally meeting an old friend after more than two and a half years, he immediately went and got angry with her.

After changing her life, she wanted to enjoy herself and have friends, but it didn't seem like life was that simple.

DING

The sound of the notification rang in the apartment, but Adam did not give his phone number to anyone so it was not his.

Looking at the counter, he found a phone with a pink case that he did not notice while deep in his mind.

"That must be Sarah's phone, let me go after her and give it to her" she decided.

Meanwhile, a girl in a short dress and heels rushes out of the apartment covering her tears as she passes by a security guard who has wild thoughts about what is going on between her and Adam, but know that there is no point for him to intervene. .

"Damn it, I forgot my phone at the bastard's house, which after starting to make money and leaving school, was arrogant and forgot his good friends from high school" he cried, crying, when he stopped running because his foot hurt in the heel.

Adam is disappointed with the outcome of their reunion, but his emotions are much less than his and thinks logically about the situation.

Looking at the notice, she saw that it was about the late payment of medical bills from the same hospital her aunt was in and that was for Matt Smith.

The hospital Bibi and Matt were in was the cheapest in the area and the treatment was not the best, but it worked.

"This must be his father," Adam assumed seeing the family name he knew and that the bill was 6000 dollars, to his surprise.

Reading the notice said the payment had been due to the cancer ward and if it was not paid today they had no choice but to send it out.

{Gold can also be exchanged for System Points and at an exchange rate of 100 gold to 1 System Point, is it really worth it to spend 600 gold coins on a useless normal human} the system asks rhetorically in his mind.

The fact that gold can be turned into System Points gets him excited, but it doesn't change his mind at all about paying his Old Friend's father's medical bills.

"I might hunt in the dungeon in my sleep and LVL UP and one could say with my unique constitution, I am no longer a physical human being, he said, but I will not lose my humanity in terms of values, morals and emotions" he said.

The thought of no longer being human was on his mind ever since he started with the dungeon system, but these events helped him clear his mind and remind him that he was in control of his own life.

{Achievement Unlocked - Clutching to Humanity - this achievement is given to the host when he is able to accept who and what he is now, but still maintain his humanity.

Awards: ...}

[I don't care if I have to do something now, tell me later I have to catch up with Sarah] she interjected.

Rushing out of her apartment with a phone in hand, she ran down the stairs and out of the building receiving a confused and suspicious look from the security guards.

He ran out and realized that he had no idea which way he was going or where he was going and even though he was a bit faster than the average person, he was not, he was nothing compared to a car.

Instead, she decided to go to the hospital and would pay her medical bills and leave her phone there with her number and note.

He returned to the building and took the pen from the receptionist and went up to his room.

Finding a piece of paper, he wrote a long note to tell her that what he thought was not true.

[I left school because my Aunt was in a coma and still in a vegetative state until now and I left school to work for my Aunt's medical expenses. You know that I am an orphan and my aunt is all I have. I was homeless and worked two jobs at the same time while I was homeless just to be able to afford it] she wrote.

Pausing for a moment, he thought of what realistic way he could do to earn money quickly that was not suspicious rather than writing 'I have an Underground Prison System and when I sleep, I have a, I LVL RIDE and get gold'.

[I'm now working for a big company on my computer doing calculations where the manager is feeling sorry for me and I can get a good wage and if you don't, believe me, trust me, My aunt is in the same hospital as your Dad. I had paid the medical bills and did not want the money back, I just wanted to have fun with my old friend like before. I left my number at the bottom].

He thought that working from a computer was realistic because at night he would be in the basement and he was always the best in his class in mathematics that Sarah knew.

Now with a fresh start, she wants to have friends again and seems to live a normal, happy life during the day.

Walking out of her building again, with Sarah's note and phone in her pocket, she headed for the hospital.

When he came in, he received a smile from the front receptionist who could only recognize him from the last time he came and not from the hundreds of times he had come before as the poor and thin Adam from the past.

"I want to pay the medical bills that are due for Matt Smith and want to make a request" he said, taking off his hood.

[Transfer all my gold to dollars and I will live off it for the coming month and spend the rest of the gold I earned on System points to buy the items I need] he ordered the system in mind.

{1660 gold coins transferred to 16,600 dollars} announced system.

"Okay the payment arrears are 6000 dollars which has been piling up for 3 months" he said with an uncomfortable expression.

Seeing her wearing simple sports clothes, she thought she would not be able to afford that much down payment.

"It's okay I'll pay with the card and I also want to pay another month for Jannet Green" he told the receptionist who was surprised by her words.

Paying the money, she went to see her Aunt and kissed her forehead respectfully as she did every time and on her way out left the phone and notes.

She asked the receptionist to give it to Sarah Smith when she came and gave her 20 dollars to thank for her help.

Adam was comfortable with himself and for the first time since getting the system, he smiled sincerely as he returned to his apartment.
