I woke up from the capsule, it was 6 A.M. The first thing I did was to get a shower, and brush my teeth, because I don't want to ruin my smile because I am lazy! I noticed that my stress have been going down lately by finding out that I no longer have the habit of biting my teeth while sleeping.
After finally waking up completely, I went to eat my breakfast... It was one of my favorite arabic breakfasts, shai karak and cheese sandwiches.
I opened the forums again to see how people reacted to my reply... Weirdly enough someone leaked my fight with the 300+ players, and I gained a lot of fans... My reply was full of people cheering for me.
The players noticed many strange things. First, that I have double jump passive skill. Second, that players from Gaming Martial and Alliance of Assassins are noobs. Third, people speculated that I led my enemies to the spot calculating the respawn time of the Angry Bulls perfectly. And the last weird thing people noticed, is that I somehow leveled up to level 8, then I disappeared from the Leaderboard.
I got so many threats, invitations from guilds. While I was at it, I just said 'no' to every invitation, and 'If you have the ability to, come tomorrow to the location I am going to give you!' to every threat.
No one was genuinely concerned about me... Until I found a reply from Violet Cloud saying:-

Voidne, I know you might not read this, but if you do, I just wish to know how you are faring? I hope you are fine! I know I am somewhat useless, but if I could do anything for you, don't be shy to ask me about it!

I thought her comment was cute! Luckily I can send her a private message in the forum. But I needed first to have her added as a friend! Thank god she sent me a friend request, otherwise I will need to send her one!
I accepted her friend request then sent her "I am fine thanks for asking! Also thank you for your juice, it was so helpful... It restored my mana by a big margin! I will 100% buy juice from you next time we meet in game!"
With this I stopped my online browsing and went to my daily routine. Weight liftings, reflexes training... I also found out that the fluids I take are some kind of top notch martial artists nurturer! From being barely able to lift 15Kg dumbbells to lifting 20Kg dumbbells with ease in just one day! But something as good as this is limited to those who have big connections in society... I wonder how Alexa got me this!
Since I knew I was socially awkward, I hired a trainer to help enable me to act is if I wasn't one. In the training lesson, I learned not to move a lot of my body parts while speaking... I know, I have a lot of energy, and I tend to get excited when I speak to people, just for my excitement to turn into depression in the end when I find that my excitement was there for no reason... It is the same as being excited for a new game, just to find that the new game wasn't actually that good!
Today, weirdly enough, I had a meeting with a charity group that help with the housing of poor people, and feeding them too! And the weirdest thing is that I actually did fund them a lot of times before. I was invited to the meeting because the charity group finally found a sponsor that is bigger than me, and they wanted to help me get links with their new sponsor. Alexa said that she tried her best to refuse, but the meeting was inevitable.
I wore formal clothes... A black suit, a white T-shirt under it, a white tie. I posed in front of the mirror, with my dead black eyes staring at the mirror as if I had no life left in them; I looked at myself. I looked good.
After coming to the conclusion that I looked good, I put on some expensive perfumes and entered the car. It was time to see if I still have some business skills, or if my brain went soft in just 2 days!
While I was on the road, a stupid girl crossed the road not noticing me because she seemed to be in a hurry. She didn't notice me until she heard the sounds of the breaks of my intelligent car. It was at that moment she froze at her place!
Luckily my car is one of the best, not only in looks, but also in almost everything except for speed.
My car stopped 5 meters away from the girl, and I went outside to ask her "Are you fine?" Just to be met with her cries, she begged me "Help me! My mother is sick and I can't get her to the hospital! Please help me!"
She was crying, and I felt bad for her, so I nodded at her and said "Lead the way! I will try my best to get you guys to the hospital!"
She bowed to me and said "Thank you! Thank god I met you! I am sorry for taking your time!"
I patted her shoulder and said "No problem!"
After that I made her get into the car so she can lead the way. At first she was confused that I wasn't driving, but when I explained to her that my car was intelligent, she stopped herself from being shocked for the sake of her mother, and started describing the place to the car. With the help of the GPS, we arrived there in 2 minutes.

As we arrived at the house, the girl left the car quickly rushing to the house. I followed after her into the house to hear her mother yelling at her "I know! But you can't ask for help from a stranger... What if he wanted to hurt us instead of helping us?"
The girl who was now shedding her tears retorted "What else can we do? I am trying my best mom! If we don't ask for help, you won't get your medicine! I know it is wrong to ask for help from strangers, but please... Mom, I don't want to live in a world without you"
I felt hurt seeing those mother and daughter couple in such a dire state. The house was old and broken. There were bugs everywhere, and I don't think their food condition is even that good...
The most shocking thing I heard was when the mother shouted "Ziyun! You are not going to do this *cough* *cough*, I know it has been hard on you, but mother will be fine ok?"
Ziyun meant Violet Cloud in Chinese... so it sounded as if I was calling the juice seller... Maybe a coincidence?
It was at that moment I entered the room where they were and said "Pardon me. I came to take you to the hospital, I have a meeting to attend to soon, but your health is more important! Please think of what will happen to your daughter if you didn't take care of your health!"
The girl glanced happily at me, because I sounded like I was genuinely trying to help. The mother knew it was futile to try to get her way out of getting to the hospital, and she also wanted to be respectful toward me, so she agreed.
Ziyun and I helped Ziyun's mother to the car, who was now shocked after seeing such an amazing car!
I asked the car to go to the finest hospital around, and on the way there I got to talk with Ziyun and her mother, who were both very respectful toward me.
I received a call in the half of the chat from one of the members of the charity "Hello, Sir Voidne on the other side of the line yes?"
I replied with "Yes". Ziyun's face change when she heard the name 'Voidne', it was the same name as Voidne in Second Life Online... What people don't know that she actually had the opportunity to add Voidne as a friend in the game.
The charity member asked if I couldn't arrive in time, and I said that I couldn't... After all, I was doing something more important than my own benefits!
Once the charity member heard that, he knew that I was stuck helping people, since I was known in their community as the person that puts people always ahead of himself. Without saying anymore, he nodded and ended the call.
Ziyun's mother started apologizing, but I stopped her saying that her health matters more than any amount of money in the world. She started crying and started telling me their family's story...
She married to a rich guy which she loved, just for him to abuse her. She thought that didn't need anything as long as she had Ziyun with her, yet the nightmare wasn't done yet. Her rich husband married another rich woman. They both treated her and Ziyun badly, yet when her husband time, their inheritance was blocked by her husband's rich wife.
The rich wife took everything, throwing Ziyun and her mother into this poverty... Ziyun started looking down, while her mother was crying.
We arrived at the hospital, with me going outside to get a wheelchair for Ziyun's mother. Ziyun that was in her early 20s started to smile warmly toward me, I thought even though her clothes aren't the best, she was still so beautiful!
We arrived inside, and after paying for her medical examination, the examinations started. I held Ziyun's hand tightly, she was anxiously standing next to me, but when I held her hand, she started leaning on me a little.
When the doctor came out, he said that the patient has problem with the food they ate, and that caused one of her kidneys to fail. He said that she needs a kidney transplant surgery, because her other kidney is so weak and can't function fully.
I nodded and walked away with the doctor leaving Ziyun crying alone outside her mother's room.
I asked the doctor on how much will it cost to pay for the surgery. He gave me an estimate, but I was fine with that. I asked him about how much will it cost to get her a private room in the hospital, and if that could somehow help her health condition. He told me that she needed the kidney transplant surgery, and needed to eat healthy food. He also said that it would be better if I left her in the hospital.
I nodded and decided to rent her a private room in the hospital for 1 month to see if I could secure a compatible kidney for her by then or not.
I went back to Ziyun who was still crying. She didn't have the courage to ask me to help her mother because she knew such surgery will be expensive, and maybe I will not agree to help them do it, but what shocked her is that some nurses came to the room and took her mother on a moving bed and started moving her somewhere else.
I walked following the nurses, Ziyun who didn't know what was happening followed behind us too.
After arriving at a hallway with so many closed doors, they opened a door to show a big enough room with a TV opposite to the bed. There was even a small fridge in there. The mother was shocked and she started crying and asking me about it. She was so happy that this was the first time she was treated like this in her life, and it was by a stranger! Ziyun also was shocked, and she couldn't but thank me, but I ended up pinching her cheeks with all my strength saying that there is no need to thank me, and that if she thanked me again I will be sad.
After that, I started talking about how I will pay for the surgery, and how they needed to do tests, taking the mother's blood and X-ray pictures, etc... So they can find a compatible kidney for her.
She wanted to refuse but Ziyun started to confess her.
It was already 7P.M. I was late to the game. I checked my phone to check the latest news, but turn out the game will open 8 P.M. today instead of 6, because of an update. Now that players are accustomed to playing the game, they will make time runs 10 times faster in the game. So everyday from 6P.M. to 6A.M., it will be 5 days inside the game!
I agree to their decision, it would be stupid if we continued doing a 1:2 ratio...
I asked Ziyun if she wanted to stay with her mother in the hospital, but she refused saying that she had to work!
We went into the car, and it was only that time when Ziyun asked me "Do you play Second Life online?"
I said "Yeah, why?"
She gathered up her courage and told me "Want to meet up inside Second Life Online? My character is called Violet Cloud, I am a level 2 Cleric!"
'Violet Cloud!!'...

I tried to speak but a strange guy came out and shouted "Cliff Hanger Kun! Save me Senpai!"
