Milo stepped back from Charlus. Charlus took a deep breath.
"Damn you are strong!"
Charlus sat up. He looked around and found Irda was making something. He stood up and saw that he was making two cheese burgers.
"What are those for?"
"You guys. You said you came in for a meal."
"Ohh! I forgot!"
Charlus waited for the meal and then started eating it immediately after it was done. He looked at Milo once he was finished.
"You ready to go? We still have a lot of time. We can play a few more matches."
Milo looked at him like he was looking at an idiot.
"Are you an idiot? We should help Irda here do something about this shop. It's a mess!"
"He can do something himself. He has to replace everything anyways. He could just hire someone then."
"Hire someone? Look at this. He'll have to get a few chairs and tables. That's gonna cost him 5000!"
Charlus looked around.
"Your stretching it. I'd say 4000."
Irda interjected.
"It will come around $6700. I was thinking about doing some renovations as well."
"Exactly. Where can he get that money- Renovations?! You said your finances were tight."
Milo looked at Irda.
"Your friend wanted to give 9 grand to me but I insisted that it remains as an investment. he owns 1.5% of this venture."
Milo couldn't comprehend what was happening. The past few hours were incredibly weird.
"I had some spare cash. You coming or not?"
"You know what? I think I need a break. A vacation from you. Being around you was exhausting. Don't take it the wrong way but it's a fact. I'll see you tomorrow."
Charlus saw Milo go and turned to Irda.
"I'm weird to hang out? Irda, you knew me for a few years. Did you notice any difference in me from then?"
Irda looked away.
"You could play video games by yourself. I have to go shopping for new furniture. I also have to buy some decorations. I have to lock the store so please..."
"Fine. See you later."
Charlus went out the door. He looked around. he had centered his entire day around the gaming café but didn't want to play games without Milo.
Charlus decided to go to the park to spend some time. Maybe he would find something interesting. He walked into the forest and reached the lake in a few minutes. He sat down near the lake and just put his legs into the lake.
"God that feels nice. This is fun."
Charlus peered into the water.
"Fuck there's something in the water!"
Charlus jumped back immediately, narrowly missing the huge monster that went for his leg.
[Mutated Fish Lvl 11]
What the hell was wrong with this forest? Why was everything here a monster? Charlus suspected that something was up. He first got his dagger out. He already had his armor on.
He felt bad that he couldn't hunt the fishes in the water but he decided that he would first resolve the shitty forest first. He was sick of the monsters popping wherever he went. Sure that was what he was hoping for but sometimes he wished that the forest was normal. For the people who might get hurt because of this.
Charlus rushed deep into the forest. He did not find any monsters on the way which he found weird. He rushed deep without bothering. He finally saw some form of activity.
He saw 15 Stone Statues that were moving around. Charlus was taken aback. He observed them.
[Stone Golem (Elite) Lvl 20]
[Stone Golem (Elite) Lvl 20]
Charlus saw that all of them were standing like body guards in front of a cave.
"Come on man. That's obviously got to be a trap. Don't fall for it."
Charlus saw the Golems throw away a rabbit that was entering the cave.
"Control. You should control Charlus."
Charlus saw a yellow light from the cave.
"You could die dumbo!"
Charlus spoke a little loudly. One of the Golems came near him. Charlus knew at this moment that he had no choice. He got his dagger ready and lunged at the golem, piercing the dagger into the body of the golem.
[You have dealt 250 Damage]
Charlus was flung away by the Stone Golem.
[-23 HP]
Charlus looked at the Stone Golem.
[Stone Golem (Elite) Lvl 20]
[1250/1500 HP]
Okay. So high HP but low Str. So they probably couldn't do anything right? He should have an easy win.
Charlus looked beyond the Golem and saw five more Golems slowly approaching him.
"Damn my garbage mouth!"
