《Ingame》got my mind on my money and my money on my mind
Advertisement
Glancing at the map, I made my way down the street. I called out to my companion “Twink can you access my music files.” Twinks AI voice sounded in my mind, music access enabled, what you would like to listen to?” “Random classic music” I replied. “Got my mind on my money and my money on my mind” by Snoop Dog and Gin started playing. Rap music is not my favorite genre but I decided to let it play. The hook line caught my attention.
I began to think about it. Money, I would need it to survive in the city, unfortunately I did not have a whole lot. Money goes so easy it just seems to disappear from your pockets. Once when I was walking in the city, going shopping in real life, I had twenty dollars, not much but I thought I’d pick up a couple of treats. When I reached into my pocket, I realized the money was no longer there. It had somehow been lost. I am sure many people lost money living in the city. We are all kind of clumsy, stretching and turning and looking around, constantly putting our hands into our pockets and pulling them out.
The lyrics “Got my mind on my money and my money on my mind” kept running through my mind. It could be my subconscious is trying to tell me something. I usually try to listen when I feel something; as the subconscious is a adept at correlating pieces and joining them I have discovered.
Suddenly, I had an epiphany, losing money, big city, many people and the Dragon eyes ability to find treasure. I looked at my interface and quickly activated the Dragon eyes ability. I looked over the city, up over the hill towards the higher levels and down the street towards the gates. I observed many small golden glimmers. One was just down the street about 10 meters from me next to a building. I slowly walked towards that small glimmer and looking down past the garbage on the street, I could see it, a gold coin.

I could not help myself and began to grin. If I played this cool and easy taking it slow, I should not have to worry too much about money. I would just have to make sure that no one saw what I was doing; no need for the greater unwashed mass of humanity to realize that there is money just lying on the ground. They were all rich donators, and did not need the gold.
Consulting my interface I activated the clock and saw that I had three hours until sunset, I resolved to use this time to make some money. Looking at the city where I could see the golden glimmers, I opened up my map and began to try to correlate the golden glimmers to the streets. I was curious to see where most of the gold was lost. Sure enough, it became apparent that a lot of the gold was being lost within 10 blocks of the four great Guild houses. Taking my time, I moved up the hill, picking up gold and silver pieces buried under the detritus of the street.
I decided I did not want to go further up the hill than where the four Guildhalls were located. Instead, I held open my map and began to mark all the locations that I could see still displayed treasure. Looking at the map, I could see that several of these areas were parks. Thinking about this it made sense to me; many people go to parks to relax and to sit down. It would be a great place to find some gold.
Looking at my map, I saw that the park with the hidden tunnel was located nearby. It was several blocks away from the Inn at which I was planning to seek room and board. This suited me as I could see that there were several glimmers gleaming in the park. Smiling, I started making my way down towards the Inn. When I arrived, I entered the Inn and saw a smiling Npc, a half elf. I inquired about renting a room. Two copper daily she said with a smile. Smiling back at her, I asked how much for a week. Eight copper but that includes the discount without meals.

The total cost is 12 copper if you want to have supper and breakfast with us. Deal I said, and paying her the twelve coppers I received the key. “Second door on the second level” she announced. “Thank you, thank you very much” I said and gave her a big smile. Since when did they start making female Npc so cute I wondered to myself? Making my way up the stairs, I open the door to my room.
It is a small room, with a bed against the far wall. A window could open above the bed. At the foot of the bed was a small chest that you could store things. There is a small chair against the wall opposite of the bed. Putting my pack on the bed I sat on the chair and opening up the interface I selected the bag and examined the contents.
While I did not have a great deal of actual items in the bag, I had managed to find 12 more gold. I now had almost seventeen gold, when added to what I had started with. Not bad for a few hours work I thought to myself. Shifting over to the bed, I set the in game alarm and closed my eyes. I would awake in time to go for supper and then back on the streets.
I had to admit it the city was huge and the possibility of getting more and more gold was very appealing to me. I had decided I would spend the next week or two farming the city for gold, as you can never have enough. After two weeks, I would purchase better gear, and then I would begin to explore the city, specifically the Kradula and the abandoned zone.

Reborn Into My Novel
What if you lived in the world of your own creation? As fate would have it, our dear amateur novelist, Ellie, was reborn into the world of her fantasy novel after falling asleep at her computer. Bewildered as she was, the first person that she met was the protagonist of her novel. To add salt to the wound, it was right before the tragedy that decimated his village as per his backstory. Will Ellie save the village (and herself) to risk changing the fundamentals of her novel? Will she instead let the story run its course and leave everyone in the village to their deaths? Disclaimer: This novel is a work in progress and will be updated hopefully at least once a week. Expect minor mistakes (maybe some typos and punctuation errors) since this is the very first draft. The author suffers from perfectionism and impostor syndrome and therefore attempts to use this as sort of a therapy to break away from perfectionism and self doubt. Basically, the author employs a “I don’t care anymore and screw this trash work” mindset just to get stuff rolling and not set any expectations. Basically, basically, the author just wants to write something and not care about planning and quality and all those nice things about writing a GOOD novel since it’s counterproductive. Kthxbye. ps: Thanks for even reading this trash work pps: You’re not trash for reading this trash work btw ppps: Thanks I love y’all so much Shout out!
