New Home, New Beginning

Three Days Later,

Shura stood in front of a graveyard. He looked at the graveyard of his dear grandfather with pain in his heart and a sad expression on his face.

He finally took a deep breath.

'It has been three days, Shura. If Gramps learned that I am still sulking about his death, he would come out of his graveyard and slap me with his stick.'

Slap!

He slapped his own cheek and finally gave the graveyard one last glance before turning around.

As he started walking away from the house, he clenched his fist.

'Grandfather, I don't know what exactly I am supposed to do now. But, I am going to start a new life.'

He slowly raised his clenched fist toward the sky. The storm that appeared three days ago had already cleared.

The blue sky was visible to his eyes. He looked at the sky with a smile on his face and said.

"Watch over me from the heavens, Gramps!"

Although it was just a fragment of his imagination, he still saw the clouds forming into the shape of his grandfather's face.

After he walked for ten minutes, he eventually reached the road where he saw a car waiting for him.

"Mr, we can leave now."

He spoke with a smile on his face as he walked inside the car.

"You live quite far from the normal population, boy. Aren't you afraid of those monsters finding you quite easily?"

The driver started the car while speaking.

"I had a powerful grandpa protecting me." Shura smiled as he answered. Although that smile hid a terrifying pain.

"Sorry!" The old driver apologized upon understanding the situation and drove off.

The car drove for five hours until they finally reached the City Area.

Although he had come closer to the city, he hadn't actually entered the City till now.

That's because it would not only take a lot of registration but also his money. And, before, his grandfather wouldn't give him that much money.

Now that he had inherited a lot of wealth from his grandfather, he came here without any hesitation. He did bring some of his stuff that was stored inside this car.

So, he had to come here yesterday and properly register his name. Only then, he was even allowed to book a cab.

The car directly entered the city through the massive door that separated the inner part of the city from the outer part.

And, the difference was quite huge. The outer part of the city was basically filled with several small houses of people who couldn't afford the land inside the city.

Although it made him uncomfortable, he couldn't do anything about it. He simply just ignored it.

The driver made his way to the different streets and finally stopped after reaching in front of a building.

It was a nearly two-story building.

He walked out of the car and the driver went to the back. When he opened the trunk, there was a massive space inside.

It was even bigger than the entire car itself.

There were a lot of suitcases and bags.

The driver slowly took them out and helped Shura take them inside. He kept those things on the bottom floor.

"Thank you for your help!"

Shura thanked him while paying off the cost of everything. The driver happily left with his car and Shura closed the door.

"Who is it?"

Suddenly, a voice came from the first floor which startled Shura. A figure slowly walked out to the fence and looked down.

Shura knew that there was another person living in this house. He already knew that before getting the bottom floor on the rent.

But, he didn't know who the person exactly was. So, when he saw a young girl walking out, he was surprised.

The young girl was already his age. She was quite tall, especially those legs which were quite long. She wore tight jeans and a blue top tank.

Her hair was quite short for a girl. Her skin was pale with green eyeballs and black hair. Her lips were slightly red.

After looking at her for a moment, Shura suddenly realized that he was quite rude. He slightly bowed his head and said.

"Hello, my name is Shura. I rented the bottom floor."

Hearing his introduction, the girl looked a bit surprised. She just nodded her head and said.

"I heard from the landlord that someone was going to rent the bottom floor. My name is Mina. A servant came earlier and cleaned the entire house."

"You must have already read all the instructions about the house before. Do you need help with unpacking?"

She said as she looked at his bags.

"No, thank you!"

Shura awkwardly shook his head.

Mina didn't say much. She just nodded her head and turned around. Before she left though, she did leave a sentence.

"If you have any difficulties, you can just call me."

After she left, Shura started taking his bags inside. He was currently in the living room. Next to him, there was a stair taking him to the first floor.

He had no reason to go upstairs so he simply walked toward the living floor. There were three doors in three different directions.

There was a bedroom behind the first door and second door. But, the third door had a storage room.

As for the kitchen, it was in the living room. Since the living room was quite big, there was a separate section for the kitchen.

And, just in front of the kitchen was a massive TV with several sofas and tables in front of it.

He opened the first door and saw a massive room. There was a big bed in the middle with a table and chair on the left side and a big wardrobe on the right.

There weren't a lot of things. It had another door attached to it which was a bathroom.

He pulled his bags and suitcase inside the door. Then, he checked the other room. The second room was exactly the same but the third room was completely empty.

After unpacking his clothes and some other stuff, he finally took a bath and walked out in new clothes which were comfortable black trousers and a black T-shirt.

Because of his early training, his body was extremely toned and his skin was also fair. He was rubbing his towel on his wet black hair.

After that, he put the towel on a stand for it to dry and then walked up to the kitchen.

He found quite a lot of stuff in the kitchen. He took out some instant noodles. Then, he boiled some eggs and friend some sausages.

He cuts the onion, garlic, tomatoes, and chill. After frying it properly with sausages and boiled eggs, he puts the noodles that had been boiled in hot water.

After that, he puts in some seasonings and finally prepares a meal for himself. Just after he prepares the food, he sees Mina standing in front of the kitchen, curiously looking at his meal.

Seeing those eyes filled with hunger, he decided to share it with her. He puts it in two different bowls and passed it to her.

"Here, eat this!"

As he said, he walks up to the dinner table and sits down.

"Can I?" Mina excitedly asked.

But before he could reply, Mina would pick up that bowl and walk in front of the Shura. She sat down on the chair and started eating.

"So good! I haven't eaten such a delicious meal for a while." Mina excitedly shouted and continued eating.

In less than two minutes, she would finish the entire meal and start looking at Shura's meal.

But, no matter how desperate she was, she didn't try to steal it.

She just waited until he finished the meal. While he was finishing his meal, she started washing those utensils.

Just when she was doing that, she suddenly came up with an idea and rushed in front of Shura.

"Hey, how about we make a deal? I will wash the dishes and you will cook the meal for us."

"No problem for me but if I can't cook for someone's reason, you should make it on your own. You can cook some basics, right?" Shura hesitantly asked.

"I can make tea." Mina excitedly answered.

Shura's lips twitched before he finally finished his meal and stood up.

"Then, you should simply get some takeout or deliveries. As for most of the time, I will cook."

Saying so, he washed his bowl and went back to his room.

Mina simply stayed outside and stomped her foot angrily, snorting.

"How rude? At least, stay out and try to strike up a conversation with a beautiful girl like me."

But, actually, what she didn't know was that Shura had something important that suddenly came up. So, she had to enter the room.

He raised his head slightly and saw a blue screen in front of him.
