Either way, he was going to use it tonight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arthur leaned back against the cold wall, he pulled his knees up and wrapped his arms around them, drawing himself in for some warmth in the dark, cold night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn't comfortable—nowhere near it, far from it. But he was used to it by now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He'd gotten good at finding little corners like this, places where no one would bother him, places that most people wouldn't even glance at as they walked by.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's not much,\" he muttered, glancing at the broken alcohol bottle lying a few feet away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But at least no one's gonna find me here, It does the job.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A soft sigh escaped him as he looked up at the slice of sky visible between the rooftops above.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He let his head rest against the wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's funny,\" he thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How something so disgusting can feel like home after a while.\" He thought, glancing at the dirty alleyway that was housing him when no one else did.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This isn't a life, is it?\" he murmured to no one in particular. \"It's just… surviving.

A few hours later, he opened his eyes back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I can't sleep, this type of life is really unbearable without Charlotte.\" He muttered, as his thoughts wandered to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The warmth of her smile, the quiet strength in her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was the one bright spot in his life, the one thing that kept him pushing forward, and kept him getting up each day despite everything he went through.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just hang in there, alright, Charlotte?\" he whispered, his voice barely audible. \"I'm gonna get us out of this shit hole soon.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The night slowly drifted away, as the sun slowly rose marking a new day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Opening up his eyes with difficulty, Arthur felt groggy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's finally daytime,\" He muttered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn't been able to sleep the whole time, he was in the realm between sleeping and being awake, it honestly felt like torture but he couldn't do anything about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Standing up and stretching, he made his way out of the alleyway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He smelt himself, bringing his twitching nose to his underarms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn it, I stink now,\" He said with disgust, as he glanced at the area he was in that was filled with garbage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I need to go back into Armageddon as soon as possible, and farm some more equipment.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After leaving the alleyway, he stepped into the main road as people went about doing their thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Be it work, appointments or just a morning job.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Life seemed to be slightly different from before, as people seemed to have a lot on their minds due to the descent of Armageddon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it wasn't an overwhelming change, in fact, some people found it a good change.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had heard many people talking about it, as they walked on their daily life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being able to enter another world, plunder the resources of that world and transfer it to real money, it was simply a dream come true to many. Whilst, others thought there was more to it than meets the eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arthur was in the middle, he wasn't firmly stuck into a position, and he believed it could be a good change.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"At least, it's good for me,\" He muttered, as he realised he wouldn't be able to pay for his sister's medication if it wasn't for the game.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But there must be an equivalent exchange, the smirk on that man's face as he said the rules, still irks me today,\" He muttered, remembering his smirk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shaking his head, deciding to not worry about it for now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He headed to the hospital, it was a day visit anyway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I should be able to take a shower in the hospital, but I need some change,\" He realised, as he made it near the hospital.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After looking around, he found a small clothing shop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After entering, he quickly bought a cheap set of clothes for $15 because of its low quality and left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Some new clothes,\" He smiled, as he couldn't wait to finally wear some new clothes in almost a month.\u003C\u002Fp>",830,"2026-06-06T12:00:35.877Z",1,"novelbin.me","2474d02c85888a8da2c559110a7a34944eaec812ccf514817581f8cb0805b078","online-game-starting-with-sss-ranked-summons-chapter-16","online-game-starting-with-sss-ranked-summons-chapter-14",601,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fonline-game-starting-with-sss-ranked-summons-cover.jpg"]
