Suitcase woes

Jacob's eyes fluttered open as he came out of a very comfortable sleep and froze. This wasn't his same old room with old grey walls, dirty windows and a rickety bed. This room was extravagant, but that confusion went away in a second and it was replaced with a large smile. Rising from his bed Jacob made his way to the bathroom so he could freshen up for the day ahead of him. One of the reasons Jacob was excited about this apartment was the bathroom.

Upon entering the bathroom Jacob was happy to see it matched the pictures perfectly. White marble covered all of the floor while a nice mosaic tile with a eastern flower design took up most of the wall. It was a full bath with a large sink, mirror, toilet, and shower. After entering the bathroom Jacob took off his boxers and stepped into the shower, and while he did this he made his plans for the day. Jacob figured he should use the system shop and then head down to start his work out program or at least try to buff up a bit, then meet his neighbor. Jacob sped through his shower so he could quickly get out and check out the system shop. He didn't want to admit it but he was excited like a kid in a candy store when he thought of more system rewards.

Toweling off Jacob made his way to his room so he could dress and spend some points, hopefully they would boost his stats. Jacob was in such a good mood that by the time he made his way to his suitcase he was humming, but when his eyes landed on it he frowned. This wasn't his suitcase it was jet black, but his had been a solid black while this had gold highlights around the zipper, Jacob had a sinking suspicion that he had accidently grabbed Daphne's bag while he was in a hurry to get away. Jacob just hoped he could find her phone number on her suitcase, because he knew he didn't have his new number on his suitcase. Picking her suitcase up Jacob mocked himself in his head, how had he not noticed the collosal weight difference between their bags, Jacob could only chalk it up to how tired he was plus how tense he was during their conversation.

Jacob checked the whole exterior of the bag for Daphne's number but he couldn't find anything not a mark. Jacob decided she probably wouldn't be too put off if he just looked for a number on the inside of the bag so he could return it. Unzipping the suitcase Jacob was greeted with a strange interior, all that appeared to be in the suitcase was a white sheet set, looking for a number Jacob moved the sheets out of the bag and suddenly froze in place. He felt his face go white and sweat fill his palms, before him sat the suitcase, but the issue came from what was packed inside not the suitcase itself.

Huge white plastic taped bricks of white powder, from what Jacob could tell there were at least 10 bricks and he knew what it was. Jacob now knew why the system had dubbed her a "Dangerous beauty" she was a fucking drug smuggler. At the bottom of the suitcase there was also a small metal container probably 8" by 8" by 4". It had a clamshell top and Jacob knew he should leave well enough alone and figure out what to do but his curiosity got the best of him. Reaching down and grabbing the metal box Jacob lifted up, his hands were so sweaty he almost dropped it. Placing the box on his bed Jacob went to open the box, it was nothing more than a sliding latch, not even locked, so when he tried he was able to open it with ease.

Opening the box Jacob was once Again shocked by what he saw, the box was full of small green, red and white gems. In the box also sat a small piece of paper with a phone number on it. Jacob couldn't help but want to cry, a simple mistake had led him to be in possession of at least a few tens of pounds of cocaine and millions of dollars worth of what he could assume to be stolen jewels. Jacob felt a sense of dread and fear come over him, Jacob was supposed to start a new life and prison would definitely put the brakes on that plan. Jacob had to buckle down and think, it wasn't the time for a mental break down, it was time to man up and think his way through this. If he was being realistic there was only one way out of this situation, and it required a lot of luck. The criminals knew what he looked like, hell they even knew his first and last name which meant it wouldn't take them long to find him, if he turned the drugs and gems over to the police, he would be killed, hell if he dumped it they would find him and try to find their stuff.

Jacob had to contact the criminals and make it out of this situation alive, it was the only way out of this. There was one thing that could give him a better chance of survival, the points shop. Jacob quickly opened the system hud and went to the shop tab and the display appeared in front of him.

[!Store!]

[L points: 900]

[One time purchasable items: 0]

[Mystery boxes/ common = 100 L points]

[Mystery boxes/ uncommon= 1,000 L points]

[Mystery boxes/ rare= 10,000 L points]

Though Jacob noticed he only needed 100 more points to get the uncommon box, but he needed to get out of this situation that was going on right now he couldn't afford to save up his points. Jacob gritted his teeth and hoped for a miracle as he clicked on the common mystery box nine times. A glowing white light appeared before Jacob and nine small grey boxes appeared in front of him. Jacob was surprised by the display, but after having his face changed it wasn't really that shocking. Reaching out for the first box Jacob was quite surprised by the fact there was nothing inside instead a system notification popped up.

With a bright glow similar to a flash light, two 100 dollar bills appeared in front of Jacob on his bed.

Jacob now understood that the boxes were more representative than he first assumed. The 200 dollars was pretty useless at the moment but it was nice to know he could earn money from seduction. Reaching out for the next box he was greeted with the same empty box plus system notification.

Yet again a light brought two more 200 dollar bills onto his bed. Jacob was getting a little nervous; he just had to pray to whatever god made this damn system that all these boxes didn't have 200 dollars in them. Reaching out for another box he was happy to see a different notification.

[temporary stat boost]

Jacob was surprised when a small white paper appeared in front of him, on it it had gold ink but the ink was just weird shapes not letters. Jacob couldn't figure out how to use it and was going to ask the system but it was already a step ahead of him.

[the item temporary stat boost does exactly what it says, it boosts a stat by 1 point for 1 hour, you get to pick the stat.]

Jacob couldn't help but feel a little relieved this card would definitely help him with the daphne situation. With more hope in his heart he reached out and opened another box and was greeted with a very annoying notification.

Another two green bills appeared on his bed, and Jacob couldn't help but hope his luck would improve.
