Brand New Life Online: Rise Of The Goddess Of Harvest-Novel

DING! DING! DING!

"UWAAH!"

I suddenly woke up out of the bed, looking into the clock, it was already...

7:40 AM?!

I Jumped out of the bed and ran straight into the bathroom, and then remembered Elena and ran outside, opening her door and finding her sleeping still! This girl doesn't wake up if I don't wake her up or something?!

"ELENA! Wake up! It's late!!! I overslept!" I cried, as Elena jumped out of the bed looking everywhere confused.

"Eh? Ah… Oh."

"Take a bath in your bathroom quickly!" I said, running towards my bath. "I'll make you a sandwich after I take a bath so you can eat in the way!"

"O-Okay!"

Elena ran towards her bath and both of us took a very quick shower, I dried my body with a towel as fast as I could after that and got my clothes ready. My hair was still wet but I couldn't do anything about it for now. I ran into the kitchen and made Elena a quick pair of sandwiches with tomato slices I had pre-made, some lettuce, mayonnaise, ham, and cheese, and also took out a orange juice bottle, those little bottles for kid lunches, which she always carries to her school- Wait, two sandwiches won't be enough for her!

I looked into the freezer and found some leftover crockets I had prepared not long ago. I quickly made her a sandwich with them after warming them in the microwave and packed them all into her bento, I also will give her a bit of money so she can buy herself more food if she feels hungry after that.

"Elena, here!" I said. "This is your breakfast and your lunch!"

"Four sandwiches?" She asked while raising an eyebrow.

"I-It is the only thing I can do now, don't be like this!" I sighed. "I am even skipping my own breakfast…"

"O-Okay, alright, thanks…" She said, as she gently kissed my cheek.

Uwah!

S-She kissed me?!

Without me forcing it either!

Ah, my daughter is the cutest…

"Mom, let's go!" She said.

"A-Alright!" I said, rushing out of the house while making sure I didn't forget anything.

We ran across the streets rapidly, thankfully, it was still around 7:56 and her high school and my job were all very close to my house, so everything was still alright!

"I can go on my own, go to your job!" She said, running off.

"A-Alright, take care!" I said, as I saw her rush back to high school.

I reached the convenience store to find Jenny drinking a soda while watching Youtube videos in the store's TV.

"Hahaha! He fell off that boat…"

She was laughing over some funny video of a man balancing over a boat and then falling over a lake… How's that even funny?

"Jenny! I am here… Phew… Almost didn't made it… SIGH… I-Is Mark not here yet?" I wondered.

"No? He comes way later anyways." She said. "Also don't worry if you come later or something, not like it hurt me to see more Youtube videos and snack around…"

"Geez, Mark is going to discount that off your pay, Jenny!" I reprimanded her.

"Not if you don't tell him about it!" She said.

"You know there are cameras here? He'll know either way…" I sighed.

"O-Oh fuck! Is this why he knew I was dancing last night?!" Sighed Jenny.

"Y-You were… dancing?" I tilted my head while looking at her.

"Hahaha… A-Anyways, I am off! I don't want met him because I bet he'll gonna reprimand me or something…" Sighed Jenny, running off the convenience store faster than I came running here.

Finally able to relax a little bit, I dried my hair while I was preparing some coffee in the coffee machine and bought a premade sandwich from the store using my debit card. I wolfed into the sandwich because I was dead hungry, and then drank most of the coffee quite quickly as well. It had cream so it was tasty and it quickly gave me enough energy to fully wake up.

But I was quite surprised, Mark ended coming at around 10:30 AM! It was very late, he often comes at most at 8:30 but now he came super late for some reason… he was also incredibly sleepy and had to drink two coffees to wake up completely.

"M-Mark, are you okay?" I asked him. It was around 2 PM and he still looked sleepy.

"Y-Yeah… I ended playing a VR Game until like 2 AM… I barely slept." He sighed. "It was quite the intense Boss Battle."

"Wow! You play VR?" I asked.

"Yeah, a month ago I bought a full dive helmet and a game… Brand New Life Online it called- Oh! Elayne, wanna play with me?" He asked as he suddenly felt like he got a genius idea.

But… that game… He plays the same game I do! But I cannot possibly tell him I play such a game or it would be weird… R-Right? But he seems excited if I were to play it… Ugh, but where would he be in the world map? It would be way too arduous to meet up.

"I-I… Well, um…" I said.

"Hm… You don't have the money for it, right? I know, it is pretty expensive…" He sighed. "I can buy the helmet and the game for you if you want to."

"EEEH? B-But that's super expensive! W-What are you talking about? Are you going to discount it off my salary?" I wondered.

"No, it can be an… a birthday present ahead of time!" He said. "how about it?"

"B-But why would you buy me something so expensive just because?" I wondered, feeling rather embarrassed that he could go for such lengths for an old lady like me.

"T-That's… Erm… Hahaha… F-Forget it… if you don't want to play…" He said.

"I just can't let you waste so much money on someone like me, Mark…" I said. "What would the other coworkers think? They might get jealous or something, you have to think about that!"

"R-Right! You're right, sorry about that… Haha." He giggled nervously.

"But what sort of race or class you play? I've heard… about the game a bit." I asked.

"Oh! I play as an Ent Druid named Titan!" He said happily.

"HUH?!"
