He has been forgetting to open his daily rewards for the past few days because he is always too busy at night.
He either went with Eryl or Yan for their nightly exercise.
While Yan is still unaware that he has a woman other than her, Eryl is attempting to get close to her.
They once happened to meet in the market by accident.
When they met, she remembered her name, which Alex had mentioned once.
Since then, she has tried to get to know her and make her feel at ease.
They have become cooking buddies.
He initially believed Eryl was attempting to sabotage his relationship with Yan, but when he expressed his concerns, she said something that reminded her of her past.
"I am already done with that thing."
Done?
Sabotaging a relationship?
What these words connected to her past?
However, he decided not to dive to it and instead, wait for her to tell about it when she's ready.
If it is something that makes her look sad then it's better not to be said and just be forgotten.
…
Coming back to the rewards, abilities, buffs, and heart progressions rewards are something he expected.
However, this is the first time that he received an item reward.
A transparent bottle has been sent on his storage app.
Storage app is one of the unsaid apps since it's pretty obvious what can do.
Taking out the bottle, this much look like a water.
However, he decided not to taste it and take it back to the app.
"…"
It's been a few minutes since he is waiting but he still not see his sister here.
He saw a bench from a far so he decided to sit and wait there.
He take out a book and start reading the story.
His attention is too focused on the story that he lately notice that someone is calling her.
"Hey, hey!"
"Oh! I'm sorry. What is it?"
"May I sit beside you?"
Alex saw a beautiful girl that has a brown haired and a red ribbon on her head.
The bench where he sits is the only one around here, so he decided not to be selfish and let her sit as well.
"The seat is too long for a single person. Here!"
"Thank you."
Alex thought she looked older than him, but she was very polite, which piqued his interest, so he added her to his index app.

'So her name is Monica huh…'
He stop looking at the smartphone after knowing her name and continue to read the story.
Although he wanted to have a conversation with her but he is in the climax of the story.
This is just a random book that he buys before arriving here but he didn't expect that it has a good story.
The book is about a book club full of girls and the arrival of the new member who's also the only male in this club.
From this plot, it already sells to him and wanted to know more about it.
The exciting part that has been mentioned is the part where the one of the girls died commit not alive in her room.
It's not really exciting but this is the first time he read something with unexpected twist like this.
…
Meanwhile, Monica is still waiting for her friends but it seems that they are gonna be late too.
She began to feel bored and look at the person beside her.
Seeing the book in his hands, she regretted not taking a book with her.
When Alex finished the story, he noticed her stare.
Her stare is locked on his book and made him feel that he need to share this to her.
"I don't know if you want this kind of book but… here."
"Are you sure about that?"
"Well, this is just the volume 1 of the story so yes."
"Then… thank you very much."
He gave it to her and she started to read the book.
Looking at his watch, it's been 15 minutes and Alicia is still not arrived here.
She said from a letter that this is their waiting area and she's still not here.
It's quite frustrating to think that she will wake up late today while he is waiting here but despite this, he will definitely forgive her so he decides not to waste his energy to get angry with her.
He looks at the sea birds flying above the sea waves then dive to get some fishes.
It feels like he is watching an animal documentary without any narration.
"Here. Thanks for sharing your book."
Monica gives back the book.
"Don't worry about it."
He doesn't know if she finished the book or not but to not get bored of himself, he decided to open a chat with her.
"So how's the book?"
Monica felt a bit suspicious about his sudden spoke but seeing that both of them are waiting for their company, instead of rejecting the idea, she decided to entertain him.
"Well… It's not really my genre but I can see the charm of the story, especially from the plot twist."
"So you even noticed that too?"
"Well, it's not obvious to see at first but now that I finished it, I couldn't unsee the plot twist now."
"Would you like to give it a rating?"
"What out of?
"Out of 10"
"Then my rating will be 7."
"That's quite a decent rate. I thought this was not your genre?"
"Yes, but I did not rate the book based on my biased opinion. Also, what is the book's title? Why is this book just black with an eye on the cover and no title?"
"Well, I do not know either. I bought this book at random from the bookstore earlier."
"So you do not know either... "
Looking at the book, she felt a sensation she has not felt before: a sense of connection, for which she has no explanation.
"Sorry for the delay!"
However, a familiar voice appeared out of nowhere, and she stopped thinking about it.
"Oh, Alicia, you have finally arrived!"
"Hey, sis, how long will you wait for me?"
Alex and Monica are talking at the same time.
While walking towards them, Alicia notices them freezing.
Why? Because they realize they are waiting for the same person.
"Eh?"
"Eh?"
"Eh?"
This place is filled with confusion.
