A familiar face

I woke up from the feeling discomfort in my neck. I stand up and yawn or I was about to when I discovered my three creatures sleeping on me peacefully. They seemed so precious sleeping as if there wasn't a care in the world. I stay seated for a bit, not wanting to disturb their sleep.

After waiting for about five minutes they finally woke up and got off me. I got up and stretched. I then walk outside to see the morning sun, forgetting what happened yesterday.

I walk out and see police officers taking pictures at the bodies that I left outside. I walk back inside quickly not catching anyone of their attentions. "God why are they there" I say as I peek through the door to see what they were doing. I still see them taking pictures of the bodies. "I could kill them, but do I want to" this is when I realize what I just said. I feel a weird feeling in my chest as my heart begins to beat quickly.

I know I'm a villain and all, but I don't want to turn into one of those people who will just kill left and right. "Even if I do kill them it will just make a bigger scene, but if I don't then I won't get any customers." I begin to think on my next move.

After thinking for about ten to fifteen minutes I don't plan to kill them, but just wait it out. In the meantime I begin to do my daily work out. Which involves me just running wall to wall and doing a couple of stretches.

I begin this work out for a couple minutes and the other three join me in the middle of the workout. After twenty minutes I stop and sit down onto a nearby chair. I pull up my Stat page.

"Huh no changes?" I become confuse at why there weren't any changes to my stats. After thinking for a bit on why My stats didn't change I realized it because I wasn't working for a whole week, but just a couple of minutes. "With the bar open I won't be able to get my stats up that quickly now." I'm bummed out now.

"Guess I have to work out when there are no customers now" I say as I begin my work out once again.

Ding*

Or I would if a customer didn't come inside the bar. I look and see three familiar faces. "Hey mister" said the little boy who came running towards cloud and Troupe but stop mid-way seeing snow. "Whoa did you get another monster" said the girl as she was about to pet snow, but snow bared his fangs at her.

"Eep" she jerks her hand back seeing snow growling at her. "Snow be nice to them" I say to snow. He looks at the two with dissatisfaction and stops growling. Mind you that snow is still a pup or I think he is. Don't know how monsters age and all that.

The two kids seeing snow no longer growling at them they began to pet him, as if they forgot what he did to them just a couple seconds ago. I look at their older sister and see her face trying to say something.

"Do you need something" I say to her.

"I.. sor.." I hear her mumbling words.

"Huh?"

"I'm sorry for what father did!" she blurted put loud, causing the two kids to stop petting snow. Which by the look on his face was glad that the petting stopped.

"What do you mean for what your father did?" I said to her, as I try to remember what could have happened that caused her to say those words.

Then it clicks into my head.

The man coming inside the bar threatening me and a group of thugs waiting outside to break in if needed. "Oh its ok, everything is alright" I say to her.

"Are you sure, I'm sure those men did something. After all there are bodies outside your store" I think she misinterpreted the bodies outside. Those bodies belong to the group of people who tried to break into my bar, but couldn't thanks to the systems restrictions.

"It's ok, I'm glad at least someone came to apologize for the accident" I say to her. "So would you like anything?"

"Oh yes I would like that drink that you gave me last time and if you have any, I would like something to eat with it." I say ok to her and walk back to the counter.

I do the usual process as usual. I got the cup, hole opens up, drink comes down, then the fries comes down with them. I grab the items and bring them to her. As I put the fries Infront of her I could tell that she wanted the fries badly by seeing her eyes gazing at it. She begin to drink the beverage and then eats the dragon fries

She then grabs two more fries and eats them as well. As she eats she drinks more of the beverage and finished it in one gulp. Most people would usually pass out or have a headache after drinking something that strong, but since she was able to come inside the bar it's to be seen that she could withstand the drink.

Five minutes passed and the girl finally passed out after drinking her fourth cup and ordering two more fries, which were for her siblings.

"So one cup of [Blight drink] costs about three federation coins and a cup of [Dragon fries] costs two federation coins. So I just made twenty one federation coins" I say ecstatic on how much I made.

I look back and see the two kids passed out from playing tag with my three monsters, that I adore. Is this what being a parent is like, seeing your kids have fun makes you feel happy inside. If this is what's it's like then I regret not being a parent in my past life. Wait why did I choose to come here again.

I look back at my memories. I remember me getting betrayed by my best friend, losing my job, drinking at the bar, and. That's when I remember the bartender using his ability and me feeling that I should listen to him. Did he use an ability of his? If so does that mean I just got tricked out of my old life?!

God I regret my actions now. The past is the past, there is nothing that I can do about it but move on.

Bzzz*

Bzzz*

I hear a buzzing sound coming from the girls pocket. I walk to her and grabbed whatever was buzzing. I look and see a block shaped item "is this what the people of the past called phones?"

I remember hearing about a device called a 'phone' from a class that I took. It basically allows others to make long distance calls to one another on a planet. Of course we got rid of that when we were able to make homes in outer space. And I don't mean by we going to planet to planet. We literally made a space stations around the universe that could help us sustain life and make easy transportation from one area to another.

"If I remember correctly I click this" I click a button and I hear a voice coming from the other side. "Rachel where are you" I hear a man's voice coming from the other end of the phone.

"Hello who is this" I say to the man. The man didn't say anything until a couple seconds later. "Who are you!"

I hear a deep menacing voice coming from the other end of the phone. The voice sent chills down my spine. "You are Rachel's father correct?"

"And what if I am!"

"Oh that's good. You see your daughter got drunk at my bar and I didn't have anyone to contact to pick her up. And since I have no clue where she lives I couldn't drop her off. So can you pick her up?"

"Ok where are you at" I think a bit and remembered that I never payed attention to the street name. "Uh you know where you sent your guys to attack a bar, that's where I am."

Hearing this the phone hangs up and I feel the feeling of enclosing danger coming towards my area. I walk behind the counter and merge with Troupe, cloud, and snow.

[High rank villain nearby. Host be wary when going outside]

I received a notification about fifteen minutes later telling me a high ranking villain is nearby. A couple seconds later the door to the bar gets slammed open and there I could see what I think is the father, since the daughter and him look the same.

The man looks around and sees me, he begins to walk towards me "are you the one who called me." Hearing his question I respond "Yes I am."

The next moment the man was then sent to the other side of the bar. "Huh?" I become confused on why he was launched. "Wait did he attack me?!"

[Host was attacked by a high ranking villain. Punishment to villain has been dealt]

To confirm my question I received a notification. The man gets up once again and touches his cheeks. He winces upon touching a bruised part. He then looks at me with rage in his eye.

He then grabs out a piece of, what I think is, gold. He then holds it in his palm and it begins to melt. He then points his palm up at me and soon the man was launched back once again with.

I look down and see a ball rolling down my shirt, upon closer look I could see that it was a golden ball. "Is he able to manipulate gold?'

He then gets up once again and looks at me with a grin on his face "ok let's make a deal."

I look at the man as if he was dumb "why would I make a deal with a man like you. You just attacked me."

"Sorry about that, it's just father instincts" father instincts my butt. If the system didn't protect me I would have been dead in the first punch. "So will you listen to my proposal" the man said while looking at me.

I think for a bit trying to see the up and down and make a conclusion. "Ok I'm all ears on whatever you want to say to me."
