Great Dinner

Achilles let out a strange sound as his body shuddered slightly like an electric current ran through his body. Stars started sparkling in his eyes as he froze in one place for 10 seconds.

'What is this heavenly sensation?!'

He thought as his eyes started to shed tears of joy.

The people around him thought he was crazy and didn't dare to look in his direction any longer.

Achilles didn't give a damn about those gazes and started shoving food down his throat like he hadn't eaten anything for 3 days.

The meat that went into his mouth seemed to melt like soft butter, the juicy steak created an exploding festival in his mouth.

'Can't believe this is what rich people eat every day!' He thought enviously as he tried to swallow the meat with a cup of water after eating too fast.

Back in the old days when he was a low-class citizen, he could only eat cheap food that was poorly prepared and made, so he never enjoyed eating that much except when he was really hungry.

Even during the last week, he ate nothing but the cheapest price things out there in order to save money for the wager. But now that he had finally managed to taste top-tier culinary, it was safe to say that he had deeply fallen in love with it.

Achilles gobbled the steak for a while more before it ran out, he laid back on his chair and let out a happy sigh as he massaged his stomach. He looked at the now empty dish under him and couldn't help but feel regret, he wanted to have some more food down his belly.

'No, no, no! Do not enjoy yourself too much!' He shook his head and hardened his heart.

He tapped twice on the table then a hologram appeared in front of his eyes. He switched the hologram to the paying section, then held out his credit card to let the table scan it. As the table finished scanning, the hologram changed again and a sentence was displayed directly at him.

{Thank you for choosing our restaurant, we hope you have a good day and see you again!}

Achilles sighed dejectedly as he started standing up and walked to the stairs with hunched back.

Even though his stomach was now brimming with joy, his heart felt incredibly painful.

He soon threw matter out of the window entirely as he reached the first floor. The employees gave him multiple looks of ridicule again but he paid no heed to them.

He arrived near the street and called for a flying cab to drive him back to the southeast of the city, where the cheap hotel he rented a room situated.

The car stopped in front of him as the door opened automatically, he got in without hesitation and then said curtly to the driver:

"Hilbert Hotel."

The driver who was a surprisingly young man, probably only a bit older than his current self didn't respond back and only nodded to indicate he understood and quickly drove off.

Achilles gazed absentmindedly outside the window as he thought about the next part of his plan.

'Getting a forgery.'

He knew a certain mafia who would do this for a fair price. He only unintentionally heard about this when he worked with a certain gang to provide them with some important intel.

The problem was finding the guy, he knew a location where he may be able to find him. But whether he would actually find him or not was an entirely different matter.

'Whatever, I can only rely on Lady Luck in this case.' He closed his eyes after realizing that he was helpless in this matter.

A while later, the cab descended on the ground after arriving at the destination. The driver turned to him and said:

"50 Nero."

Achilles held out the card and let the man scan it to take his money. He got out of the car with one hand in his pocket and the other waved at the driver:

"Appreciate it, man."

The driver quickly sped off into the sky without saying anything. Achilles also got inside the hotel and went in the elevator. He arrived at his floor and walked for a while before he reached his room, then inserted his key into the keyhole and opened it.

Most places used a smart lock now but since he rented the cheapest room, he still had to use a metal key to open the door.

He went inside his room and locked the door tightly, he swiftly arrived inside the bathroom and solved his dilemma.

After finishing dealing with everything, he took off all his clothes and dived into the bed with only his boxers. He closed his eyes softly to rest for the day and after a few moments, his breathing rhythm changed indicating that he had fallen asleep.

The silver moonlight shone onto his bedroom and enveloped his figure who was now in deep sleep. The silence remained everlasting for a long time.
