The next morning, Vincent woke up groggily to his alarm ringing loudly in his ears.
As he walked into the bathroom to answer natures call and have his shower, Vincent quickly remembered the system as he sat on the toilet.
"Hmm.... The system should probably be done with it's upgrade, right?" Vincent thought to himself.

[Hey System. Why aren't there any punishments like before?]
{The System is considerate of the host talent and due to the fact that the system does not provide any artificial help}. The system replied.
[Hmmm.... SYSTEM. Where do you come or originate from?] Vincent pondered for awhile before asking ignoring the subtle jab from the system.
{The host has insufficient system authority to receive an answer. The host is advised to work hard to improve his authority}.
[Ohh.... System how do I increase my authority?] Vincent asked with his interest piqued.
{When the host upgrades the system the host authority level increases with it. Also regarding all information concerning the system, they will be accessible when the host authority reaches level 4}.
[Alright, system open the shop] Vincent said keeping his suspicions to himself.

*DING*
{Congratulations host, on upgrading the system shop to level 2. All skills are now available for purchase, but they now have various stat requirements apart from AP to be purchased.}
{Minor talent upgrade as the name suggests, upgrades your talent by one minor level. But to move a major grade, one a needs to purchase a major talent upgrade from the level three shop.} The system continued.
[Damn..... SYSTEM! This is clear daylight robbery. Here I was thinking you now have a little conscience with the upgrade. Punishments for missions aren't even necessary, the shop itself is the punishment.] Vincent lamented to himself exasperatedly.
{False accusations host, the system is fair and just, unlike that perverted mind of yours.}
[Huff.... So how does one get more special abilities?] Vincent asking through his nose trying not spew curses at the system. Though if thoughts could kill, the system would have died in various horrible ways.
{The host can only get special abilities through the roulette depending on the host's luck and a major upgrade Card can gotten from the level three shop.}
[Hmmmm.... Can't be to bothered about this, when the time comes all will fall in place.] Vincent said to himself sighing.
30 minutes later, Vincent exited the bathroom. As he gazed into the mirror staring at himself admiring his handsomeness he took from his father and his light green eyes and dark curly hair he got from his mother, his phone buzzed with notifications as he switched it on.
Scrolling through his messages he found a reply from Zoë. Immediately, he dropped every other thing on his mind focusing on her reply and seeing the little icon showing she is online, he called her.
**RINGG**
**RING**
[Hiii Vincent, Good morning.]
(Yeahh, good morning. How was your night? I sent you a message yesterday and seeing no reply for a few minutes I guessed you were busy. So I switched off my phone to charge it leading to this late reply. I'm so sorry).
[Ohh... There's no problem, I kinda caused it so I apologize for the situation.] She said mildly.
(Nahh.... You should make it up with a place and time. I prefer a face to face apology). Vincent said smirking, the meaning clear to both of them.
[Ohhh.... I see where you're going. Alright then, meet me tomorrow at xxxxxxxxxx shop. They serve great waffles and coffee there, be there by 3pm tomorrow and this time no excuses.] She said in a low and ambiguous tone.
(Nice. See you tomorrow Zoë.) Vincent said smiling.
[Yeah, byee!!]

A few minutes later, after flirting and chatting with her a little longer, Vincent came out of his room grinning as he joined Bogani on the sofa watching a movie which seemed interesting.
"Vincent, this one you woke up late and you come out of your smiling like this, are you feeling well?" Bogani asked sarcastically.
"Guyy, don't start this morning. Im perfectly fine thanks for asking." Vincent replied rolling his eyes.
"Alright. So what's for lunch today? Go whip up something bro." Bogani asked pleading.
"Seriously? .....Fine. I'll go prepare some spaghetti but you will have to follow me on a shopping trip today by 2pm." Vincent demanded as a matter of fact.
"Dude, C'mon." Bogani said exasperatedly.
"No. Deal or no deal?" Vincent said unfazed.
"Fine. It's only because your spaghetti is real good." Bogani gave in begrudgingly, clearly noticing that Vincent wasn't budging.

Around 1:45pm, they both headed towards a large clothing and accessories store about 30 minutes away from their apartment.
Arriving, they quickly entered the store which had a wide variation of clothing. Vincent was surprised by the different clothing he saw in the store, from famous brands like Nike, Adidas, Puma to luxury clothing like Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Gucci to quality clothing like Calvin Klein, Armani e.t.c were available.
While limited editions and more expensive ones weren't available, the fashionable ones were still available which caused the duo to feel like buying everything in the store. They knew that in here, their pockets speak not their mouth and comparing the prices here to their pockets, they really were broke.
Vincent had about £12K from his savings on him which he decided to use sparingly. Half an hour later, they were walked out of the large clothing store in the city. Vincent wasted no time picking a few designer jeans, t-shirts, some shorts, caps, a few perfumes and sneakers for himself. Bogani insisted on him trying them on first so that the two of them could assess whether they looked good on him.
He went ahead and swiped his card at the cashier's, spending slightly over £7000 on the clothes, shoes and accessories.

"Dude why the f**k are you suddenly shopping for clothes? Are you going somewhere I should know?" Bogani suspiciously as they entered their apartment.
"Nothing alright! I just wanted to change my wardrobe a bit, you know." Vincent answered with a poker face.
"Riiiggghhhtttt. Make sure I don't find out unless.... hehehehe." Bogani said ambiguously.
Vincent just rolled his eyes ignoring
his antics.
[Tomorrow better be worth my 7k]. Vincent said musing to himself as he headed for his room.
