Alter Dimension: Lucky Dungeon Master

Chapter 204 Meringue

After the call with Kris ended, Alex continued spending his home leisurely.

Soon, the day passed and the moon replaced the sun up in the sky.

Alex looked out of the window at this time and saw that it's already dark outside.

"Hmm, I should prepare dinner now. I'm also feeling hungry anyway."

Alex got up from his seat and went straight to the kitchen.

Opening the fridge, Alex found that it was actually empty.

"Oh… Maybe I should go to the grocery now to buy some stocks… right now."

Alex closed the fridge and left the kitchen.

Next, Alex grabbed a jacket from his room and wore it before exiting the house.

Alex didn't forget to lock the door and the windows before he left.

Since this place where Alex's house is located is near the dumpsite, there aren't really that many people, which also means there's fewer to no street lights around.

Because of this, it's really dark around but Alex wasn't bothered by that.

While walking on this dark path, feeling the cold breeze of the night, Alex turned his head in a particularly dark alley not far away.

In that place, Alex can hear a sound, a noise of something or someone… moaning.

Frowning, Alex muttered, "What's this? Are they really doing it here on the streets?"

Shaking his head in disgust, Alex continued moving, ignoring the noise from the alley.

With all the eyes of the Raven Family gathered on her, Jopay lowered her head in embarrassment.

For a while, no one said anything and just looked at Jopay, scrutinizing her.

The first to break the silence is Rosa, who's also the one that brought Jopay here a few days ago.

She faced her father and brothers with a smile.

"So, just like I told you, she was amazing, right?"

Jonathan reacted first and nodded, "That's right. Jopay is indeed someone who has a lot of potential in the Alter Dimension."

Jonathan's words received the immediate agreement of the other two in the room, Rolando and Glen.

"Dad's right. Actually, when you first came home with her, telling us that she is someone that we should put importance on just like Alex, I didn't believe you." Rolando said.

Glen nodded in agreement, "Me too. After all, Alex is already such a monster in my eyes. Just thinking that there's someone who can match his importance for us is crazy!"

Hearing the praises for Jopay coming here and there, Rosa can't help but feel proud.

As for Jopay, she started fidgeting more after listening to the good words of the others regarding her.

It seems like she's really uncomfortable being the focus of other's attention.

Rosa noticed that and grabbed Jopay's hand.

Jopay raised her head and looked at Rosa.

She saw that Rosa was looking at her with eyes that seemed to say 'Don't worry, relax.', assuring her.

After a few seconds, Jopay nodded at Rosa and took a deep breath.

Then the next moment, the timid aura surrounding Jopay diminished greatly.

Jonathan, Rolando, and Glen are not unaware of this short interaction between the two girls.

When they saw that Jopay has a little bit more confidence in her now compared to before, the three men nodded.

The next moment, Jonathan opened his mouth and said something that surprised his sons and daughter!

Crossing his arms, Jonathan's face looked solemn and he said, "Alright, I have finally made a decision."

Rolando, Glen, Rosa, and even Jopay, all looked at the old man, wondering what he's about to say.

Then, Jonathan dropped a bomb, "Starting today, Jopay will become the main target of nurturing for our family."

"We will give her our full support using the connections and resources that we have in our family to help her traverse the dangerous path of an Alter Dimension player."

The words spoken by Jonathan were like thunder to the ears of his three children.

They all looked at him with stunned faces, unable to say anything.

On the other hand, Jopay also seems shocked but not as much as the other three.

This is because Jopay still hasn't realized the weight of Jonathan's words unlike Rolando, Glen, and Rosa.

But it won't take long before Jopay realized just what great blessing has befallen onto her.

…

Sitting on his sofa with a sloppy posture, Alex started to feel bored with just watching TV the whole day.

Alex sighed with boredom on his face,

"Hais… Why does being here, doing nothing, feel so boring?"

"This isn't how I thought relaxing would feel like."

Sighing, Alex lazily got up from the sofa.

Standing in a daze, he muttered, "I wonder if there's something I can do…"

Just as Alex is thinking, his phone that he left on the table suddenly started ringing.

Ring~ ring~

"Hmm? Who's calling me at this time?"

With a curious face, Alex walked closer to the table and peeked at the screen of his phone.

Then when he saw the name of the caller, Alex immediately nodded in understanding.

"That's right, no one else would call me anyway beside her. What did I even expect?"

Picking up the phone, Alex answered the call.

"Hello, Kris, what's the matter now?"

The next moment, Alex heard the voice of Kris on the phone.

"So, you're already back from Alter Dimension, Alex. Why didn't you tell me?"

Putting the call on speaker, Alex put down the phone back on the table and said,

"I just came back last night. A lot of things happened while I was on Alter Dimension. That's why I wanted to rest for a while."

Then he added, "I also didn't contact you since I don't there's any reason for me to."

There was silence for a while on the other end.

Alex didn't care about that and started doing some stretching.

After a while, Kris finally spoke, saying, "You're actually wrong about that. You do have a reason to contact me."

Alex paused what he's doing and curiously asked, "Hmm? And what is the reason that you're talking about?"

"Have you already forgotten? I promised to give you a reward for helping me complete my class change quest, right."

Kris replied, sounding happy on the other end of the call.

"Also, you didn't take the rewards that dad and the Pearl City government prepared for you."

When Alex heard that, only then did he remember that there were actually such things.

The current Alex doesn't really take those rewards seriously anymore.

With the fast growth that he achieved in the short amount of time that he's been going through the Alter Dimension, Alex started to feel like there's nothing that he is in need of right now.

In his mind, as long as he works hard, he can achieve or obtain anything.

And with his cheat-like skills, those are not really far-fetched.

At the same time, a lot of things have been happening in Alex's life that things that he deemed unimportant can't help but be forgotten by him.

That's why the thought about those rewards inevitably slipped through his mind.

Anyway, after hearing Kris talked about the reward, Alex said, "I really forgot about that already."

"I was so busy doing my own things in the Alter Dimension that I haven't really been paying attention to things here on Earth."

Hearing his words, Kris said, "Is that why you also didn't come to school today?"

Shrugging, Alex replied, "More or less. Also, I'm still thinking whether everyone already forgot about the video from last time or not."

"It would be such a hassle if people started annoying me with questions about it just because I was the 'main character' in that video."

Kris paused for a moment before saying, "... Oh, that video… the class actually still watches it from time to time. I can see them from where I'm sitting, so…"

Kris stopped talking after saying that and just waited for Alex to say anything.

Alex also stopped what he's doing and fell into a daze for a few seconds.

Then he said, "... I guess I should stop going to school for a while, huh."

Hearing that, Kris hurriedly said, "No, no, no! Don't be like that. You should continue going to school. You want to finish your studies, right?"

"... Of course I want to. But with everything getting exposed like that, it feels annoying being the center of attention. I'm not some clown for them to watch." Alex said.

Kris turned silent at his words.

Not caring about that, Alex just continued doing some stretches to relax his stiff muscles.

After a few seconds, Kris' voice sounded again from the phone and said, "Then, what do you think of transferring school?"

"Transferring school? Where?" Alex asked, putting all his attention on the phone, waiting for Kris to reply.

The next moment, the cheerful voice of Kris sounded, "Let's transfer to Alter Academy!"

"Alter Academy?"

Alex repeated with a confused face.

"Oh, I guess you still don't know."
