2 The Old Life (1/2)
However, before I could go have an incredible adventure in time and space with my power, I needed to take care a few things first.
Mum is dead.
Dad is a deadbeat.
But even as a deadbeat, he did work his ass off to put me through school.
I suppose I should repay all that he has done for me.
It is the right thing to do.
And with my power, it doesn't take any effort at all.
Jumping back and forth in time just a few days can make you incredibly rich.
”Hey dad! I won the lottery, so I'm moving out. Thanks for everything. I put about 100 million dollars in your bank account. Don't spend it all at once. Invest in something. Oh. I'm not coming back, so don't go look for me, huh. By the way, tell Sasha that she is a bitch and I always hated her and her daughter.”
Dad is flabbergasted.
He has just gotten home and see me leaving the house with a suitcase.
”Wait. What!? How!? Oi! The fuck!?”
Sasha is my step mum. She met my dad when I was about 4 or 5 – I can't exactly remember when. She already has a daughter named Ashley around my age of from her previous marriage.
She didn't treat me well my entire life. She always favors her daughter over me no matter what, and Ashley uses this fact to play the victim, blaming me for everything.
Because of that, I am not giving her and her daughter a single cent.
Too bad that dad will.
As the man of the house, he must take good care of his family.
Oh well. Not my problem.
Dad chases after me once his wit returns, but I was already long gone.
I obviously didn't take a taxi.
When you could teleport anywhere in the world, do you really want to sit in a taxi?
Dad did check his bank account later. The long number in his bank account turns him into stone – not literally.
With that much money, dad would never have to work a single day in his life.
Well, I can only hope.
Now that I'm 18, I think it is time to find my own place in the world. Strange that my power awakened on my 18th birthday.
It is probably because I inherited this power – likely from mum.
Too bad, mum died in childbirth. That was the story I was given when I was old enough to know what the hell is going on.
Of course, I did jump back in time to see if that is true.
Unfortunately, it is true.
