Chapter 3: No Money

Leon arrived at his apartment and went straight to his desk. He turned on his PC and launched his favorite game. He played for hours, waiting for the store to refresh. Finally, the in-game store refreshed, and there it was—the skin he had been waiting for. Leon couldn't believe his luck he has been hoping for weeks that the skin would show up in the store. He immediately went to purchase it, but to his dismay, he didn't have enough in-game currency to buy it.

He decided to check his bank account to see if he had enough money to purchase more in-game currency. To his surprise, he had a lot less money in his account than he had thought. He had been spending more money than he had realized, and now he was almost broke.

Leon started to panic. How was he going to get the skin he had been waiting for without any money left? He thought about his options and started brainstorming for ideas to earn more money.

He could ask his parents for some more allowance, but it doesn't feel good to keep relying on his parents' money. He remembered that he had some old items he could sell online, so he started going through his things. He found an old camera and some books he didn't need anymore, and decided to list them for sale. However, the items didn't seem to be selling as quickly as he had hoped.

Feeling desperate, Leon decided to search for quick job opportunities online. He came across a delivery job that paid a decent amount of money for just a few hours of work. However, the job looked quite shady, and he wasn't sure if he should take it. After thinking it over for a while, he decided to give it a try. Just to be safe, he covered his face by wearing a mask and a cap.

He arrived at the location he was given and was greeted by a man who gave him a package to deliver. The man didn't ask any questions, and Leon didn't bother asking either. He just took the package and headed out to deliver it.

The job turned out to be fairly easy, and he completed it in a few hours. As he was returning home, he checked his phone and saw that the payment had already been transferred to his account. He felt relieved and happy to have earned the money he needed.

However, he couldn't shake off the feeling that he had done something wrong. He knew that he had taken a risk by accepting a shady job, but he couldn't help feeling guilty about it. He decided to use the money he earned to pay back his parents for the allowance they had given him and also bought the skin.

After he bought the skin he played the game for another few hours, he took a break and opened the window for some fresh air.

Leon took a deep breath of fresh air as he leaned against the windowsill, his mind racing with thoughts of what he could do to earn a stable income. He knew he couldn't rely on his parents' money forever. He needed a job that would provide a steady stream of income and give him a sense of security.

You might be reading a pirated copy. Look for the official release to support the author.

He considered his options. He had some experience in programming and web development, but he didn't want a job that would require him to be in an office all day. He also didn't want a job that would require him to interact with a lot of people, as he wasn't the most social person.

As he pondered his options, he remembered the delivery from earlier. It was easy and paid a lot, although it might be a bit shady, it does earn quite a lot.

Leon decided to take a chance and try to contact the people from the delivery job he did earlier. He searched the internet for their contact information and found it after a few minutes. He hesitated for a moment, wondering if it was worth the risk, but ultimately decided that he needed the money and it was worth a try.

He dialed the number and waited anxiously as it rang. After a few moments, someone picked up.

"Hello?" a voice answered.

"Hi, I'm calling about the delivery job you had posted. Do you have any more work available?" Leon asked nervously.

There was a pause on the other end of the line, and Leon could hear some muffled talking in the background.

"Yeah, we've got something for you. Can you come by the warehouse tomorrow at noon?" the voice replied.

Leon felt a mix of relief and apprehension. He knew that the job was shady, but he needed the money. He agreed to the time and location and hung up the phone.

As he sat back in his chair, he couldn't help but feel a bit uneasy. He knew that he was taking a risk, but he couldn't think of any other options. He made a mental note to be careful and to keep his guard up.

Leon looked around his room, feeling restless. He had been playing the same game for hours and now he was bored of it. He glanced at his bookshelf, but he had already read all of his books. He checked his phone, but there were no new messages or notifications.

He sighed and slumped back in his chair. He didn't know what to do now. He needed a new hobby or something to occupy his time.

Leon realized that he had been cooped up inside for far too long, staring at screens and playing games. He needed to get some fresh air and move his body. He remembered a nearby park and decided to take a walk.

He got up from his chair, stretched his arms and legs, and changed into some comfortable clothes. As he walked towards the park, he felt the warm sun on his face and the gentle breeze on his skin. It felt good to be outside, away from his computer and his problems.

As he walked through the park, he saw people jogging, playing frisbee, and having picnics. He envied their energy and enthusiasm, but he didn't know where to start. He felt lost and out of place.

He found a quiet spot under a tree and sat down, looking around at the people around him. He wondered what they did with their time, what their passions and hobbies were. He realized that he had been so focused on his own world that he had forgotten about the world around him.

He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and listened to the sounds of nature around him. The rustling of leaves, the chirping of birds, and the distant laughter of children. He felt a sense of calm and tranquility wash over him.

He knew that he needed to find something new to do, something that would challenge him and bring him joy. He decided to explore the city, try new foods, meet new people, and discover new experiences.

As he got up from the grass and started to walk again, he felt a renewed sense of purpose and excitement. He was ready for a new chapter in his life, one filled with adventure and discovery.

But just as he was lost in his thoughts, a sudden impact caught him off guard. He stumbled and fell to the ground, looking up to see a ball bouncing away from him. Confused and a bit annoyed, he looked around to see where it came from.
