Glenn drive off with his car and along the way, he decided he'll just order his food on drive thru. He went to the Mcdonalds and ordered a double cheeseburger with fries and a large drink. After getting his food, he found a nearby gas station with a convenience store and parked his car. Glenn enjoyed his dinner as he savour the cheeseburger bite by bite, cleaning his fingers off with as he lick the sauce out of it. Kinda gross but hey, he's just alone and nobody saw him.
After taking care of the trash, he got out of his car and started walking towards the convenience store. When he entered through the door, a wind chime rung but he ignored it and walked up towards the counter.
"Hey man, I'm buying a cigarette the first time, do you think you can recommend something for me? I prefer the expensive ones."
"First time, huh. Good thing we got good shit for ya my man. This right here, is a first class black cigarette for motherfuckers like you. First of all, the looks are elegant and it matches your rig. You know, fancy suits like that. Another thing is, this has flavors like chocolate and shit."
"Alright, give me one so let me test it out."
"You gonna have to pay for it though."
"Relax, I'm paying! Do I look like homeless for you?"
"Fair enough, that's $7 per packet."
"Here! And give some lighter while you're at it. I'll test it out outside and see if what you said is true. I'll come back if I like it."
"Go ahead, man. I'll be expecting you soon, hehe."
Glenn walked out of the store with the cigarette his bought. He opened the packet and smelled the inside.
"Whoa, smells amazing."
He took one stick and light it up imitating what the guys do he saw on television. He took his first puff and boy, he cough so much he though he was gonna die from suffocating.
Cough Cough Cough!!
"Goddamit! I think I did it wrong. I might've inhaled it too much."
He tried again and this time, he suck gently. He hold the smoke for a few seconds and then exhaled it back.
"Ohhhh, that... wasn't too bad."
He took a puff again and everytime he do that, he became comfortable and proficient in it.
"I should get more of this." He muttered.
He started walking again towards the store and entered. The wind chime rings again and all the people inside turns to him. He then realized that the store at this time was being robbed. There was an old woman, two teenagers and a middleage man huddled in the corner. He looked at the counter and saw the clerk raising his hands up. In front him was a robber who held a shotgun pointed at the clerk's face. He saw two more of them guarding the hostages. All three of them have a handkerchief covering their face. One of them turn to Glenn and shouted pointing his gun at him.
However, Glenn ignored it and calmly walked towards the counter. Now that he have soru, he wasn't afraid of guns anymore.
"RAISE YOUR HANDS MOTHERFUCKER!! DO YOU WANNA DIE, HUH?!"
"I SWEAR, I'M GONNA BLOW YOU UP IF YOU DON'T RAISE YOUR HANDS UP!!"
"Geez, man. I respect your pronoun but I don't swing that way.
"What?! What the fuck are you talking about, I'm going to kill you!"
"You said you are going to blow me—Oh! I misunderstood, I thought you were a member of the rainbow federation. That's no cool man, you have to make it clear."
"Bro, hahaha. He's saying he thought you are gay."
"Shut the fuck up!! I understand what he is implying!"
While the three robbers are bickering with themselves, Glenn lean in towards the clerk and whispered.
"Hey man, how about you hire me to take care of these clowns. You see I'm a bit of a mercenary and in exchange with the ten packets of black cigarette you sold me earlier, I'll fix this situation for ya. What do you say, huh?"
The clerk didn't hesitate and agreed.
"Deal!"
The moment he said deal, there was suddenly a pop up message appeared in front of Glenn that only he could see.

Seeing this, Glenn couldn't help but grinned learning some quest could be manually generated.
"Glad we could make a deal! Well, allow me to borrow these three cans of sardines."
Right after saying that, he turned around and called out to the robbers.
"Hey guys, someone is coming!"
Instinctively, the three robbers turn their heads to the door's direction which is the most grave mistake they had done in their entire lives.
Seeing the three fall for it, he hurled the three cans of sardines to each of them.
Wooooosh wooooosh woosshh
Bong! Bong! Bong!
Headshot!
The three robbers immediately collapsed and as their guns fall to the ground. This happened so fast that everyone inside didn't have time to blink.
Glenn watched them fall as he patted his hands as if he just finished a chore.
"Didn't see that coming, did you?"
The Clerk as well as the people inside gaped at what just happened. They couldn't believe it was resolved just like that.
Glenn ignored them and turned to the clerk.
"Pack those cigarettes for me, will you?"
"S-sure."
"Great, hey guys at the corner. Go get their guns and pile them up in the corner before they woke up and started pointing to us once again. You can now call the police by the way. Just save me some trouble explaining everything and let the police review the CCTV cameras."
"Here, you go. The total amount is—" Before he continue, he stopped himself as he Glenn raising his brows up.
"Sorry, out of habit. Thank you, sir. Come again. "
Glenn started to leave as he say his goodbye, "Don't worry about it. Call the police!"
—
After Glenn went inside his car, he suddenly muttered at what he had discovered.
"So that's possible. I should start making a calling card for my services."

"Fuck, I should just finish this shopping and small training arc as soon as possible."
Taking a deep breath, he started the car and began to drive returning to his penthouse.
When he entered the lobby, he saw Brian still behind the lobby desk. When he saw Glenn, he smiled amicably and said, "Good evening once again, sir. Calling it a day?"
"Yes, I'm quite tired so I'll be heading up. By the way, would you mind helping me order heavier dumbbell disks? I need a lot cause the disks in my gym room won't be able to satisfy me. "
"Around what weight sir?"
"The heaviest, the 350 pound ones."
"How many?"
"As many as you can gather."
Brian was a little surprised of his request but he knew better than to pry something he doesn't need to know. In his line of job, curiosity is dangerous for some of the clients and he deemed Glenn one of them.
"Alright, I'll let you know once we fulfill your request."
"Thanks!"
After that, Glenn went up in penthouse and noticed that there something different in his kitchen. He switch the light on and saw the counter top full to the brim. He went towards the refrigerator and opened it only to see it filled with fruits, meat and dairy products. Seeing this, he smiled in satisfaction on how professional Brian and the staff was. He returned to the living room and tossed the cigarettes into the table as he slump on his couch.
Out of his curiosity, he suddenly remember one of the items he had a glimpse of earlier when he checked the shop.
He opened the system and selected Shop. He scrolled a little bit and saw the item he was looking for.
After a little hesitation, he bought 1 kilogram of Sea King Beast meat just to try it. When he selected purchase, meat suddenly appeared in front of him.
He inspected it a little and found it similar to an ordinary tuna meat.
He stood up and went to the kitchen to fire up the frying pan.
He sliced one slab of meat and put the rest back to the fridge. He drizzle some oil on the pan and once it heated up, he put the slab of meat to fry.
A few minutes later, a fried sea king beast meat was in front of him still smoking. The entire penthouse became filled with the aroma that makes him salivate.
He sliced a piece and took a bite. The meat was so juicy and delicious as he close his eyes savouring the flavor. In no time, he finished all of it. However, not long after, he felt a warm feeling inside his stomach spreading around his body as if some type of energy was building up to threaten to burst from the inside. It was about to explode.
He panicked a little and thought of a solution quickly. He ran towards the gym and stopped in front of the dumbell rack. He quickly chose the heaviest which is 100kg and started to lift it. As he worked out his body, he could feel the warm feeling still spreading but this time, it is sipping inside the muscles of his arms.
The threatening feeling became a feeling of euphoria and a little pain. He grinded for two hours until that particular feeling lost.
"Haaaa haaa haaa. Damn, I think I almost died from food poisoning. But that feeling...it feels like it's strengthening my skin and muscles to a certain degree." Glenn muttered as he laid his back on the gym's floormat.
"Looks like I discovered how to get stronger quickly and with the equipment I ordered, I'm probably will be ready for what's coming in no time. This is exciting."
However, Glenn encountered two problems that he needed to address during this time. His depleting money and his points where in he could resolve at the same time. He also thought selling the golden plated gun and buy a new one with silencer with lots of ammo.
He took a quick shower to freshen up and decided to call it a day. He dived into his comfortable bed and immediately slipped into the dream world.
