Chapter 295 (1/2)

If not, then it didn't matter also. He would not cheat on Heaven even if they were literally worlds apart at the moment.

”The system has already purchased it within moments of your arrival, host. Please go outside and...” Rake did exactly what was instructed. Beyond the door was a world that defied his imagination.

Not that he hasn't seen something like it. No. He had seen visions like this one in his past world but they were only in video games and movies.

And as a pro gamer himself, Rake was extremely acclimated to several worlds different from reality.

”What is this place called?” Rake murmured.

”You are in the Holy City of the Lost Sages, host.”

”Holy City. Hmmm.” Rake repeated the words as he was stunned on his spot. There were dragons above and they came on different colors and sizes.

And that's where Rake halted his knowledge on what he witnessed on the myriad of creatures on the horizon.

Aside those serpentine beings were a whole breed of unknown monsters.

”What are they doing? Are those their designated parking area?” Rake asked himself. You were about to wonder some more but a voice called out for your attention.

”Do you have a penny, mister? Please spare me some. I haven't eaten since yesterday and I'm so hungry.” Rake looked around and his vision stopped on a cute little girl.

”What's your name? And where's your family?” Rake asked to hide his embarrassment.

”I'm called Lani, mister. My parents died when i was young. But i have brothers and sisters with me. Will you give me money, mister?” the little girl answered softly.

”Can you give me money?” Rake asked his unseen partner.

”Affirmative, host.” and that was all Rake needed to hear.

”Come, Lani. I will treat you and your siblings to eat later but first, i need to go someplace else. Do you want to go with me?” Rake offered with a smile.

”Thank you, mister.” Lani replied in a sad voice.

”But my older brother always reminds me to not go with strangers. Can you just give me money right now?” such pitiful words broke Rake's heart.

”Okay, Lani. Wait a second.” Rake reached for his pockets again but slowly this time in order to buy some time.

”How much does food here cost?” Rake addressed the system.

”A single loaf of bread would be priced at 1 copper coin.”

”Give me 100 copper coins!” Rake commanded at once.

”Are you sure, host? There are s...” the system started.
