《Grand Magus》Chapter 69 A new Plane (3)

“So… you won in the lottery or something? Wanna share some money? You could also be my sugar daddy if you want, I am in search of one. Hahahahahaha.”
While the female college student was obviously stunned by his reply, she tried to tease him once more.
Not wanting to continue this pointless talk, as Tom knew from experience that the female college student would linger around for a way to escape learning, he stood up and said:
“Sorry Amy, I have to go home right now. And for the sugar daddy option. I would say no.”
As his 16-year-old body was filled to the brim with hormones, Tom relived himself by grabbing the ass of the female college student and walking away.
But not before saying:
“But the girlfriend option is still open.”
After doing the cringe thing of flirting, Tom walked back to his home.
‘Does the personality of Tom influences my actions? I would rather spend more time experimenting than sleeping around. But it would probably be better to have a partner because people who are single tend to be more suspicious. Besides, I didn’t had time to enjoy body pleasure.’
After arriving home, Tom simply fell onto his bed after brushing his teeth.
He could see how his work continued to operate the com-link.
Thankfully Tom didn’t forget to connect the com-link to a charger.
Checking his account, Tom found that the average increase of his money tended to be around one percent every five minutes.
Allowing the Ai to continue the money earning trading, Tom simply emptied one of his drawers and put the worker along with the com-link into it.
After all, he needed to hide the worker from obvious eyes.
Then, Tom fell asleep.
When he woke up, the sun already shone upon his ass.
With a single look into the drawer and the com-link, he had about fourteen thousand credits in his account.
Nodding with a satisfied look, Tom left the Ai to do the work and took out a hundred cred bill from the food stash.

It was a small chest where his step-parents would allocate money for food and necessities when they were gone.
Thus Tom walked to the nearest supermarket and bought as much meat as he could afford.
It was about twenty-five kilograms or fifty-five pounds.
The cashier looked at him with a questioning look but didn’t ask for what Tom would need the amount of meat.
Arriving home once more, Tom simply piled the meat onto the ground and used a larva to eat the meat. His goal was to create a being capable of hunting the wildlife to bring back enough meat for him to experiment upon.
When the larva morphed into a cocoon, Tom simply did his knight training as well as meditation in order to increase his strength.
As the increase of spirit was visible, meditation was something that felt extremely rewarding to Tom. More than the interest in the world.
Thus, Tom spent the entire day meditating and increasing his spirit.
Even when Penelope woke up from the activity last night and tried to drag Tom to another activity, Tom simply refused and continued his meditation.
Thankfully, to the social grave that Penelope dug herself in the previous day, she only asked once.
So night arrived once more.
Tom didn’t spend the day doing anything great, instead, he focused on meditation and waited for his servant to hatch.
As there were some insects in the house like spiders and some insects outside in the garden like ants, Tom also caught a few of those to feed the cocoon.
As for the knight training, Tom did a couple of training units between meditation and watching the cocoon hatch.
When Tom deemed the time late enough to sleep, he checked his bank account and the number didn’t lie to him.
Around 250 thousand credits lied in his bank account.
‘So according to the calculation, the number will probably reach more than four million credits tomorrow? I should register a company to lessen the taxes for my stock trading.’
Even though Tom was an introvert who didn’t read much besides novels, who didn’t dream of being rich? Especially an introvert teenager who wanted to be good with girls and didn’t know how to attract them.

Thus there was a basic understanding of lessening the taxes, should there ever be a day where he would acquire the riches.
‘So, under what kind of company should I hide my real intentions? A research institute for biological matter, an interplanar logistic firm or a Pharmaceutical company?’
Considering his own needs, every single one of those companies would hide his real intentions while at the same time deliver experimental materials to him.
After a quick thought, he decided on the Pharmaceutical company as Tom could simply say that they are investing in medicine that would take a long time to develop.
At the same time, it would be logical to deliver living or deceased animals or plants into the company.
While Tom thought about his future plan before sleeping, the cocoon hatched.
A dog-sized spider with eight legs crawled out of the cocoon.
Surprised by the form of his servant but nevertheless prepared to experiment upon it in a later time, Tom commanded the worker to move out and hunt for any kind of animal.
A short mental check made Tom realize that the spider had paralyzing poison as well as webbing abilities which would allow for easy transportation and capture.
While the dog-sized, eight-legged and really creeping looking spider crawled out of the open window into the dark night, Tom prepared for sleep by brushing his teeth.
Thus another night passed as Tom immediately fell asleep as soon as he closed his eyes. A perk for exhausting the body with the knight training.
Morning arrived in a quick manner, birds sang their daily song and the first sun rays shone upon Tom.
After a quick session of knight training and meditation, Tom looked at the visible improvement.
It felt weird as the increase in spirit was unbelievable high.
[Tom Smith]
[0.49 strength, 0.71 agility, 0.36 vitality, 9.02 spirit]
Though not only did his spirit increase, the body of Tom endured a major change in its constitution.
However, the increase in the capability of the body didn’t reflect on the appearance as Tom simply didn’t want the dramatic change in his physical features to be known yet.
Instead, he simply decided to change his changing features as a “normal” puberty transformation.
With a quick look into the drawer and onto his account, he saw that the number reached a little bit more than one million credits.
‘I can’t believe that the goal of becoming a millionaire, seemed so far and yet so close. At least for Tom.’
After the rash decision of harassing the close female college student, Tom pondered about his decision at that single moment and deemed it as a side effect of devouring the memories of Tom Smith.
After all, Tom also lived for about sixteen years, which is a considerable amount of years.
Skipping breakfast at home and deciding to actually make his plans into reality, Tom searched his room for small credit bills and indeed found around fifty credits.
The first thing he did was to take public transport to the nearest electric store.
It was only around twenty minutes away and as the place where Tom grew up was a small community and only had basic necessity shops, he had no other options.
Walking into the electric store, Tom bought the cheapest com link available that had every function he needed and took the public transportation back home.
Back home, Tom connected both com-links so that both would be connected and took the com-link he just bought with him.
The reason for that would be simple as the cheap one was worse than his new generation com-link of some sort of useless brand that Tom was once a fan of. So Tom left the better one to his AI in order to earn money.

Kernstalion
One release per week [Hiatus in November due to NaNoWriMo] [Changed the Summary based on reader feedback. Thanks guys!] When Mitchel gets a birthday gift from his girlfriend Sandra - a pre-order version of the newest VR game, he is thrilled. Real-life graphics, full-body senses, and a mysterious world that nobody knows anything about seem like a great way to escape real-life for a few months or longer. Two days later, his dreams of a pleasant pastime are shattered. After meeting a rude welcome-NPC, getting a weak starting body, and having a near-death experience, he finds himself sleeping on the ground, cold and filthy. Unable to log-out, he now has frightening dreams where the tutorial-AI is walking around in his body plotting Earth's conquest. If that isn't enough, he slowly realizes that the game might not actually be a game but that he could very well be in another world. Can Mitchel find out what is going on and where Sandra is? Can he regain his own body, and would he still want to when all is said and done? [The Story] What this story is: A LitRPG, portal-like, slow-moving story with a protagonist who has to balance crafting and 'magic' to survive. The books have a pre-thought-out plot and finish. Also, the world is harsh, and things don't always go the MC's way. What it is not: A drama, romance, grimdark, although these elements might appear. I've had some feedback that the intro seems to set up a very rough life for the MC. There is a reason for this, and I hope you give it a try beyond the first few chapters. Do note, this is not an unreasonably harsh novel.

Checkpoint
as an anomaly sweeps the world, many gain strange abilities. as for Mal, the power makes it so they cannot die, or more accurately, they get sent back in time to the last place they were safe at. A power that seems like a blessing until you’re crushed under rubble, drowned in sewage, shot, stabbed, all while having the royalties to feel all the pain from such fates. And to put the icing on the cake, a strange message appeared before everyone’s eyes stating that unless someone breaks down the gate within 17 years, everyone will die”. now Mal needs to find a way to “break down the gate” (whatever the hell that means) or they will be forced to die and revive, only to die again for the rest of time. Which would suck, probably. /————————————————— this is technically a time loop novel. the MC is chaotic neutral with a worryingly lack of care about how their actions affect people. i want to interact with my readers so give critique and suggestions. I will sometimes host polls for the personality for new characters, story decisions, and the ability to cancel annoying characters, besides Mal, if they get enough complaints. I am also impatient and will end decision polls when I want to write more. If no one votes, I choose, so don’t let that happen. if you’re want world building check out hitchhikers guide to checkpoint (an encyclopedia of what I made up with lots more explanation)
