Shawn wondered how to sleep even upon him. He wasn't used to doing it at home or anywhere else when it was daytime.
"Since this is the situation I'm already in, I might as well get back to completing one of those quests" he said before a tab appeared in his front, letting him look at the quests available.

“I think that I'll go with the one which requires me to deal with specific action.”
He then looked at the map and located the western continent that was already small. The World was already at rank 2 so the surrounding borders were increased .
Shawn decided to do go with some modifications and a new introduction but before he knew it a loud ringing invaded his ears, *Ding* Logging Creator out of world*
"Alright then, I still decided to take a nap so I didn't expect it to be long," Shawn said, waiting for the system to log him out.
The System logged him out and upon waking up, he was met with a creeping Lucas, tiptoeing into his room. Clearly he was searching for his phone and Shawn smiled mischievously before closing back his eyes.
“Where did he put it?” Lucas growled slowly in frustration after not finding it for a long time.
“There can only be one place,” he thought before turning his head in the direction of Shawn's bed.
He inched closer and stretched out a hand before touching the pillow that Shawn slept on. His hand carefully reached under as he kept searching.
At that moment, Shawn suddenly opened his eyes and grabbed Lucas' hand before revealing his teeth and biting it.
"Yahooww!" Lucas screamed as goosebumps began to rise. Shawn after giving a mild bite to the hand finally released it.
"You bit me!" Lucas roared.
"Sneaking into my room to take back your phone, didn't you expect that I would catch you red handed?” Shawn answered with a smug look on his face.
"You were asleep so how was I supposed to know?" Lucas refuted.
"Of course, when was the last time that I slept in the day?" Shawn replied with an as a matter of fact tone.
"Can I have my phone now that I've been caught?" Lucas pleaded, giving up on arguing.
"Hmmm let me think about it. Stay outside first"
"I came for my phone you can't just send me out especially after biting me. You vampire," Lucas growled.
"Don't forget that this is my room." Shawn reminded him with a raised eyebrow.
"I want my phone now," Lucas demanded.
"Wait outside or you'll be the one waiting for it as I'll be sitting down here for as long as you are still here"
"Then I'll just keep searching," Lucas said.
"Go ahead,"
After searching for almost 12 minutes but to no avail.
"Ughhhh. Fine" Lucas said before walking outside and Shawn watched as his brother left before standing from the bed and walking to the door before locking it.
After all, no one wants someone so noisy and nosey to find a secret location.
He then went to his wardrobe and took the phone out from the cloth that he had kept it in for more than an hour.
He brought it out and opened the door exposing Lucas who nearly fell flat to the floor. "So can I have it now?" Lucas asked, smiling sheepishly.
"Yes'' Shawn responded before handing him back his phone. Lucas took it with both hands, proceeded to a head up high thank you and left like a nobleman with his chin and head held high.
Seeing this, his older brother resisted the urge to laugh at his younger brother's antics. He then closed the door to the room. Lucas had been peeping but unfortunately his brother knew how sneaky siblings are and covered the peep sites with cloths, foam and paper.
Upon entering, he opened his laptop which he had placed on a desk and removed the school notes from his bag. Seeing the available apps that were in a folder tagged ‘School’ work “Might as well get to work"
Then he started to open the various apps which included coding, graphics and website designing. He got to work to finish the assignments given and to do a bit of revision along with some other works and test runs.
Suddenly the sound of the unique door noise interrupted him and he ran downstairs to see who it was only to be met with the view of his mum, dressed in a black suit and wearing a black skirt while holding a latest bag with her.
Shawn by manners and respect went to help her out with the bag she carried and Stacy who was watching TV, had arrived at the door. "Welcome Mummy," She said.
"How was work?" She added, running to hug her mum.
"Ohh it was fine" Emily replied before carrying her daughter while Shawn took her bag from her. Emily walked into the sitting room and sat on the couch. "Shawn it's your turn to cook today"
"Oh Oh" Shawn said in his head, "Today is Wednesday. How could I have forgotten about that?"
"Mum can we...." He said before he was given a direct reply by his mom "No! Not today, I'm tired"
Stacy seemed to have noticed her brother’s intention, "Elder brother, mummy is tired, better go and cook or else you'll be left to go to bed on an empty stomach"
“Not nice to say to your brother,” Emily immediately reprimanded her.
Shawn was not prepared for this mentally. He had just woken up and he was logged out of doing his work in Ornio. Surely he was going to be unwilling but his sister was right, mom was tired so he better just do it, besides it's only once a week.
He smiled before realizing something, "Of course I have a younger one,"
"Lucas!" he shouted.
"No!" Lucas yelled back before turning his back as they both headed towards his room.
Unfortunately for him, a hand stretched out of nowhere and grabbed him while pulling him to a certain place.
"No No!!. Let go of me" he screamed.
"Come on bro we have work to do"
"You're literally just making me work for you" Lucas whinced.
"Yep. That's exactly what you're gonna do for me" Shawn affirmed the accusation.
In the kitchen, "I wonder what I should cook," He said while holding the handle of the refrigerator before opening it.
"Hmm what to cook for dinner. Lucas remember, no phones in the kitchen do you want to burn the house down?!" he scolded upon noticing Lucas with his phone from the nearest window.
"Yeah Yeah" Lucas said.
Shawn continued to look for ingredients to use and finally thought of something.
"Since it's rainy and the weather is cold. I might as well cook soup and some other things as dad would be returning home soon"
He took the ingredients in the refrigerator and started to drop it on the counter while Lucas just stood there until Shawn spoke, "Better get to work" he said.
"You haven't given me anything to do."
"For starters, get the water boiled. There are always a lot of things to do when you're in the kitchen" Shawn said while still dropping ingredients on top of the counter.
He took a chopping board first and began to use the knife to cut the first thing that everyone can't help with.
ONIONS.
"I better use this to cover my eyes" he revealed a pair of goggles and wore them in his eyes before he began chopping them into smaller pieces.
Then he took out mushrooms and chopped them also.
"How's the water boiling going Lucas?"
"It's going fine," Lucas replied.
"Get the vegetables ready then,"
Lucas came to the counter and took the vegetables on the counter and washed them before cutting them also.
Meanwhile, Shawn opened the fridge and brought out the chicken. He started to cut it into pieces and removed some parts which he would pour into the pot later.
"Is the water getting boiled?" .
"No not yet"
"When we are done we should also prepare noodles," Lucas suggested while staring at the point.
"Ok," said Lucas, who continued to cut the vegetables.
When it was time, he took the noodles and added them into the water. Shawn on the other hand was done with slicing the chicken and took them away using the chopping board before pouring them into the pot. He poured the chicken into the pot and added salt then covered the pot and set his mind back to the chopping board this time chopping carrots.
He gave the onions, mushrooms and the vegetables to Lucas to add to the broth.
After a few minutes, Lucas opened the pot to see that there was excess foam which needed to be skimmed. When he was done with that, the onions, mushroom and garlic along with the vegetables w
ould then be poured in while they would wait for some time as Shawn came to add carrots into the fray.
