nMy brain froze for a moment. Mother is in a coma? What did just actually happen?! What the hell happened to her? Why do I have no idea what is going on out here? How come I have not experienced this kind of event in the past timeline?! Did the future messed up? But I have not truly messed anything connected to my parents yet! I am not yet ready to tackle the case of mother and father that is why I am more focused on the game right now to earn money and use it for later use! But why did it also affect the outcome?

n

"What happened to Mother?! Is she okay?

"

n

"No, she had acquired a very severe trauma in the head that caused a blood clot in her brain. We will be having to spend lots of money to help remove the blood clot on her head. Also, according to the doctor, although removing the blood clot can reduce the danger, she will still remain in a coma and they had no idea how long she will be in that state, they even stated that she might have gotten amnesia if the accident had shaken her brain too much,

" Father explained. Just from the tone of Father's voice, he is very depressed.

nI cursed under my breath. Just when I thought everything is settled and I can finally save my parents from problems, it came to this. In my past timeline, Mother had not experienced this event but how come she did? Did I trigger something that I shouldn't? No, I think that is impossible. Although I have done a few things, it all just revolves around the game and the people on the game, not the people outside of it.

n

"What exactly caused Mother to get hospitalized?

"

nFather was silent at first before he sighed deeply and started revealing the event.

n

"I am not sure about this either. I only heard about the incident from the police when I was called by them after your Mother got caught in the accident. According to the statements of the people who have seen the accident, a speeding car moved so fast that it didn't stop despite the traffic light turning red. And unfortunately, your mother is currently crossing the road and before she can react, she was caught by the speeding car and was sent flying in the air. It was a hit and run because the car did not stop speeding, leaving your mom falling to the ground and bleeding. If not for the people on the surroundings, your mom...

" Father did not manage to say it as he burst out in tears on the other side of the line.

nI clench my fist as I imagine mother helpless on the road with the car speeding away. The f*cking driver, I would be ready to kill if I ever knew he or she is the one who crashed and almost killed my mother.

n

"How much is the money needed for Mother's operation? I will be visiting there as soon as possible,

"

n

"No, you just need to stay there in Tokyo and continue your studies. Don't worry about us here and we will manage. You shouldn't trouble yourself too much. (Sir, your wife can now be visited.) Alright, I will be visiting. Manato, just focus and stop thinking about us. You had a class next month. You should focus on that instead, I will hang up now,

" after that, the beep of the phone resounds on the other side.

nI sighed and shook my head. As usual, Father is so secretive just like in the past timeline. If not for their neighbors, I would not be able to know their current state in the past. I would have managed to save them from the trouble. I sat down to my bed and began circulating my magic inside my body and tried to strengthen all of the parts in my body and help my parents out in this predicament. Since money is going to be a necessity right now, I had to grind for gold and the best one to do that is to go to the dungeon and solo clear the place. That way, I can monopolize all the gold and equipment.

n...

nAfter cooking lunch and eating, I did not bother going out and decided to log back to the game. The more time I waste, the more severe it would be the problem of Father and Mother. I don't want to have my parents go to a loan shark and ask for a huge amount of money. I decided to put money as the first goal this time around. What is my purpose in returning in time if I still fail to save my parents?

n

"Log-in. Establish Connection!

"

n...

nAfter waking up, I pulled out my Versatile Weapon out. There are also different kinds of weapons on my inventory that I pulled out from Lina's inventory for the sake of amalgamation of the Versatile Weapon. I am still unsure about the changes that the Versatile Weapon will go once I used all of the weapons to get devoured. I checked first the stat of my Versatile Weapon to double-check the growth it will get later once the devouring process is done.

nDurability: None

nLaying down all the weapons, I did not hesitate to let them get devoured by the weapon. I held the Versatile weapon and pointed it to all of the weapons.

n

"Devour!

"

nAs soon as I said that, the Versatile Weapon suddenly drooled and the black-red shadow of the sword reappeared and with one fell swoop, devoured all the weapon without leaving a single piece behind. The Versatile Weapon shook a bit before it convulses as a strong amount of energy seems to be sucked in towards the weapon. I had to hold it with two hands just to avoid it from getting away from my grasp. Good thing it didn't last too long. The weapon became still after that and it had changed its form of a weapon with engravings of red marks and a few runes are now present on the hilt. Aside from that, nothing else. I did not check the attributes of the weapons I let the weapon devoured because I am more focused on the result.

nA new skill has been unlocked huh, that will come in handy in mobs. I will get to earn an HP and heal bit by bit if I am wounded. Not bad. The stats had also grown a bit which is nice too.

nAlthough the weapon had grown tremendously and it had risen to level 2, I am not happy too much. With my mother's problem I am facing today, I had to earn a tremendous amount of gold and exchange it to real money which would be a hard and treacherous road. I wanted to get stronger as soon as possible but I can't just abandon my parents. I had to do something as soon as possible. A possible way to earn money in a short amount of time except the game. Then, I remembered the Guild Tokens...

nThe Guild Tokens are widely coveted by users to build their guild and present them to headquarters. Selling them into the auction would be sufficient enough. I have no use of them anyway and guilds are a nuisance enough. I have a different thing that I am planning than making a guild, which is much more proficient and much more easy to trust. However, that would just be in the future. First is to go to the Headquarters, take the quest to open the dungeon and earn money.

nAfter shaking the weapon a bit, I checked my stats once again. Since there are changes due to the stat raise of Versatile Weapon, there would be changes bound to happen.

nAside from the small growth of my HP and MP, and a few stat growth, nothing else changed. Quite a small one. I sighed and stood up. I had to grind for money. Since players have yet to get past the Gate Guardian, I would just wait for a bit and just go to unlock the dungeon.

nI left the inn without Lina. She would be sleeping at the moment and I don't plan to disturb her yet. This is my own problem, I can handle it alone. No one will be able to help me and no one dares to stand in my way for this. For my mother, I will do everything to save her life. And for the person responsible for my mother's hit and run accident, just you wait, I will be asking for a repayment soon. Just you wait...
