As far as Arthur could remember, his landlord wasn't really a people person.
If anything, he hated being bothered the most and wouldn't care for anyone unless it was harming his own interest. Thus seeing a visitor for him was unusual.
"Why do you want to meet Boyd?" Arthur asked feeling curious along with being concerned about the woman.
He didn't wish for her to be yelled at by the man, especially when she already seemed to be in a bad condition.
"I… I know him." The woman replied.
"Well, I don't know how much you know about him. But if you turn up at his doorstep, he'll be pissed. He's an annoying man." Arthur warned the woman. "Though… it is strange that he isn't at his house. He usually is at home." He added.
The woman went silent and bit her lip before a determined expression appeared on her face.
"I still need to see him." The woman replied.
"You can try to wait but—" Before Arthur could finish speaking though, the door behind him opened again.
~Ding~
"Why are you two standing at my door?!" A harsh voice was heard.
Arthur turned to look and saw the man with a receding hairline.
"Boyd…" Seeing that it was the man they had been talking about Arthur got a bit nervous.
"Who's this?" Boyd looked at the woman, finding her to be unfamiliar.
"This is—" Before Arthur could say anything though, the woman spoke up.
"I'm Cassandra… Cassandra Tills." She quickly stated.
Boyd's expression of annoyance was stilled before it quickly turned to that of confusion, as if he was close to realizing something.
"Cassandra.. Tills?" Boyd repeated, as a few memories appeared and his expression changed to that of realization. "You… you are her daughter? Mia's?" he asked with hesitation.
"Yes and you are… My father." Cassandra answered, much to the shock of both men.
Arthur awkwardly watched the revelation, not knowing what to do.
'Well… this certainly wasn't what I expected upon waking up today.' Arthur thought to himself.
Thankfully, Boyd didn't wish to continue this out here either.
"Come with me!" Boyd said as he pulled her into his apartment, the door slamming shut behind him.
"Well… That was… Weird. Didn't know Boyd had a daughter that old." Arthur wondered if it was true.
As far as he knew Boyd was in his fifties and the woman looked to be in her thirties.
'If that is his daughter, Boyd must've had her early on.' Arthur thought as he made his way to his room.
Arthur put down the groceries he had got before sitting down at his desk. He leaned to turn on the refrigerator that had been shut for months.
"I need to keep the veggies and eggs fresh." Arthur muttered to himself.
He had shut down the fridge a while back to save on bills and wouldn't turn it on normally. But now that he knew he could get money soon enough, he didn't mind making use of stuff again.
Next he quickly boiled some water and prepared his instant noodles, adding some chopped veggies and an egg to it. While it wasn't the best thing, it was still a bit more balanced than what he was eating before.
'Not like I'll gain weight… I've always been skinny.' Arthur shook his head as he started to eat.
While eating, he continued to scroll through the Grand Nexus Forums looking for any interesting news.
The Grand Nexus forums were basically the biggest gaming forums in the world. They were what every gamer used, and a lot of e-sports events were also sponsored by them. But that wasn't all, as they also provided various guides and tips for almost every game in the world.
This was also how Arthur had obtained most of his information in the last life. If not for the Grand Nexus Forums, he would not have the advantage he had today. And it was this same forum that would be allowing him to make money.
"Time to write some paid guides…" Arthur wiped his face and put away the empty bowl of noodles.
~Ding~
The lid of the Dream Pod V3 lifted with a mechanical hum, allowing Arthur to comfortably lay down in it.
