Chapter 35 - Accident

Lucas flopped onto the couch, trying to rest his mind after the chaos of the day. However, the longer he lay there, the more irritated he felt.

"Why isn't the system giving me a new task? Aren't there supposed to be quests or something? Instead, it's just messing with me like some annoying NPC!"

He turned over, staring blankly at the ceiling. After a while, Lena's face crossed his mind—his stepsister who had just started at Brightville University in this city.

"Lena… I almost forgot about her. She stayed over here when she first moved in for college. I didn't even bother asking what major she picked. I should've paid more attention to that."

Lucas grabbed his phone and scrolled to Lena's contact. But before he could press the call button, his screen buzzed. Lena's name appeared.

"Lena?" Lucas answered immediately, his voice tinged with concern.

"Lucas… Big bro, you're at home, right?" Lena's voice was soft, trembling slightly.
