Buying a House (1/2)

Heading home Matt receives a text.

Ariana- The kill has been confirmed and the reward has been sent to your account.

Matt quickly pulls up his bank account on his phone and is shocked to see the number. Previously he had managed to save up just a little over $2,000 USD in his account. He currently had another 500,000 on top of that.

Matt-So he was worth 500 grand?

Ariana-Actually he was worth an extra zero on top of that. But only if you took him alive. It's harder to bring someone in alive than dead after all.

Matt- He was way too strong to bring in alive. Have you ever fought a lightning ogre before?

Matt reaches home and quickly mentions he got his first paycheck to his mom.

"So I got paid for my first day of work. Want to guess what I made?" Matt asks with a hint of mischief in his smile.

"I don't know a million? I doubt you made much as a new employee but that look on your face makes me want to tan your hide." Mrs. Simmons says while rubbing her hands together.

"Well, I could've made that much if I performed better. Unfortunately, I only got half a mil."Matt says feigning sadness.

"You brat, if you're going to lie to me then at least make it believable. I knew there was a reason I wanted to hit you." Mrs. Simmons says a bit irritated.

"Here, I've got my account open on my phone. Read it and weep. I've always wanted to say that." Matt hands over his phone.

Mrs. Simmons looks it over and nearly drops the phone.

"If you've got this kind of money maybe I can retire and live the easy life. But what the hell did you do to make this in a day? Is your job illegal? If you're slinging dope or whatever the hell kids these days are doing you better not get caught. I will not be on the news as the mother to a misguided youth." Mrs. Simmons said.

"Eh, I killed someone." Matt says before grabbing his phone and beginning to walk towards his room.

"Explain. Now.OrsohelpmeGodIwillbeatyourass." Mrs. Simmons says with a voice eerily similar to a banshee.

"I bounty hunted a vicious serial killer."Matt says a bit scared of the figure of a demon he can see floating behind his mother, figuratively probably. "I've actually met God too and it's been a long day. The bounty nearly killed me and I'd really like to get some sleep if that's okay?"

"Haaaa. Sure go to sleep." Mrs. Simmons sighs as Matt walks away."Wait, what did he say? I must be hearing things at this point. Maybe I should just go to sleep too."

The next morning after breakfast Matt asks his Mom if she was serious about retiring.

"If you really want to retire, I should have no problems with supporting us now." Matt assures his mother.

"I live comfortably off of you risking your life? Not gonna happen. That is your hard earned money to use and enjoy. Maybe you should get your own place and think about finding a nice girl?" Mrs. Simmons teases Matt.

"Maybe I will get my own place. As for a relationship? I'll think about it. I could probably get a decent place for 300 thousand or so. I could even think about getting a car but I'll worry about that later. Did you want to come with me to a realty office?" Matt asks his mom.

"No, I've got some shopping to do. Why don't you see if Carl wants to come if you feel intimidated by buying a house on your own. He already has his own place so he might be able to point you in the right direction." Mrs. Simmons recommends.

"Alright, I'll give him a call and see if he's busy." Matt replies.

After calling Carl, he recommends a realty office a half dozen blocks from their neighborhood and they head over together.

"It's been awhile Matt, how you been doing? Recover well from the accident? You know I got your back if anything's bothering you." Carl asks.

"Pretty good, found a new job. I'm feeling better than ever and the new job pays so well that I can afford to get my own place so that's a plus. I've met one of my co-workers and I think she'd be your type. My boss seems like a nice guy but he's got a bit of god complex." Matt says.

"Pfft, I've known quite a few people like that. What's his name?" Carl asks.

"I doubt you know him, but his name is Josh."Matt replies.

"Mary and Joseph's kid? I know him. He's always been a pretty popular guy." Carl says.

Matt freezes for a second. Carl keeps walking for a bit before noticing and turns around saying,

"You should have an identify spell looking at your mana pool. Why don't you give it a shot on me?"
