While working I opened my system, a blue screen floating before me. Then I Clicked on the account balance.
[User: Crayon Warfare]
[Account Balance: 0.9 Coins]
I felt too dipressed while looking at it, I had his my account balance so far. But when my found out that I can't even buy a meal with my own Coins. They threw us out of the family.
I felt sad, but I went back to do my work. Because nothing can change fact I Awakened 0.1 coin per day.
I went to the stairs and started cleaning it, but I was already drenched in sweat. My clothes are filled with my sweat, i went to the kitchen and drank some water then went back to the work.
After working for 5 hours, i heard a sound.
"Crayon! Come here!"my mom called me with her sweet voice.
I walked on the stairs and saw food on the table. My legs are running on themselves just by looking at the food. I went to the kitchen and cleaned off my hands and came back to eat with my parents.
When I say on the couch I smelled the food,then opened the cover on the boul then took a bite.
It's tasted soo good, but-
My eyes opened, "dad! Why did you bought high quality meals. Can't we just save some coins and eat less quality meals of 4 Coins."
My dad stopped eating, "i don't know son, but... we can't just live in the poverty just because we aren't living in the noble family now."
I felt useless in the situation, "but dad, this costs 10 Coins per meal. Then it will be 30 Coins which is more than mom's Coin Rate."
"You only get 39 Coins while mom gets 22 Coins. Like that we can't even have 3 high Quality meals like this every day three times."
My mom and dad stared at each other, they started to think about their future. They are looking at the old dining table while thinking deeply and eating slowly.
My dad is hesitating to say something to my mom, but he took a deep breath and released.
"Mary! We have 5,747 Coins in our Joint account. So... I can't able to spend much on these things anymore."he hesitated to say that to my mom.
"I don't care as long as we eat food, it will be enough for us. But we have to live in the house like a Roast."
My mom is filled worriers and sweat.
When we ate the food, my mom took the plates to the kitchen. My dad is still thinking deep while looking at the dining table.
My dad raised his head and stared at me.
"Crayon! We have a lot of work to do."
I got some happiness, because once my dad says something like this. He must have had a plan to improve this place and our lifestyle.
Few moments later
We got a shovel from the storage and a water pipe. We both went out, we pushed pushed down the door and it fell on the ground. Then we picked it up and set it again.
Then we saw, an endless deserted land without any water nor life. I was scared by just looking at the meadows surrounded our house. It looks like we are ready to get boiled on a pan.
My dad threw me the pipe, "Crayon! This is the boys work, so make sure you mark 10 meters around our house in lines. We are going to build our own Kingdom again."
My dad face turned serious, "this time... I will become the owner."
I don't what he is going to do with it, but since it's my dad orders, I can never able to refuse.
I walked around and marked approximately 10 meters dots on all the sides and cornes. Then combined all the lines which formed a square. My legs and hands are screaming not to work, under this heat my skirt and pants had already became so wet that I can even wipe the sweat on my face because my shirt is already drained.
I was ploughing on the lines which I marked as my dad said. My breath is out, I went in the house and drank a lot of water and went out again. The sweat has increased, I just looked at the house while breathing heavily, "I should have... Never .... Awakened that 0.1. ha... ha... ha..."
After a lot of time
I had completed my work, but-
I just sat there without any strength to move my legs. My dad was looking at me all the time, he didn't say a word nor he moved. He just stood there while I was working.
I took the shovel into my hands and used it to stand up, then I slowly walked to my dad.
My eyes are closing, my breath is hard.
"Dad! My work... is over."I collapsed at the door steps.
After many hours
My body is aching, I can't even sleep nor move my body. I am drenched in sweat and feeling a lot of irritation. Then, I have seen something infront of me.
The system; floating before me with a notification.
[You have enough coins to Upgrade your Coin Rate]
[Do you want to upgrade your Coin Rate?]
[Yes/No]
I don't know what is this notification, but I looked at surroundings. With sweat falling of my head while I was turning my head.
"It's morning already, but... It is so hot even at this time."
My body pains are too much that I'm feeling my nerves and muscles pulling in my body.
But still -
"The notification... what is it."
I opened the system again. Then thought for a while. No one in the world can upgrade their Coin Rate once once they get to awaken. Then how is this possible.
He doesn't know anything, but he moved his hands onto the blue screen and clicked.
[Congratulations]
[Your Coin Rate has been upgraded]
[Upgraded Coin Rate: 0.5/ Day]
[Need 2 Coins for the next upgrade]
[Next upgrade: 1/Day]
His eyes widened with disbelief, his breathing heightened. His body is feeling something different, a joy...
No.
Success
No.
Survival.
I can see that I can survive in this cruel world. I quickly jumped off the bed, but fell on the ground because my thighs has stuck. It is so... Mmmm painful.
Mom and dad had listened to the voice in the ground floor, they quickly went upstairs and saw me on the floor with my position looks like a dog drinking water.
My dad sighed in relief and straightened my legs and body and let me rest on the bed again. It takes a while to recover from this pain, but I need to say this to them. This is so much important for us, for our survival for our future.
"Dad! Mom! Please sit on the bed. I have something important to say to you."
They looked at eachother and sat on the bed.
My dad placed his hands on my legs and looking at them, "sorry son, I shouldn't have let you work in the heat. I'm sorry."
His face is filled with sadness. Even my mom had a worried look on her.
"Mom! Dad! You don't need to worry about that. I can recover from the pain. But... I have something to say. Something that can change our lives and let us live comfortably."
My Mom placed her hands on my head, "are you good Crayon. It seems you are not in a good condition right now."
I don't want to say anything to them anymore. But-
I just flipped my system and showed it to them. Their eyes widened, their bodies stuck while looking at the system.
To be continued... In the next chapter.
