BXBX NOVEL Chapter 94 - Purpose
Adam returned to reality and was satisfied with the progress that he had made within the dungeon.
He needed to wait for his motorcycle to be designed and built by Elizabeth before he could return to his master to continued his training and also didn\'t have anything to do.
Seeing as it was a Sunday and he didn\'t have anything to do that day, Adam decided to designate Sundays to his aunt where he could spend time with her the entire day and help with whatever she wanted.
[I will spend the day with my aunt, then return to the dungeon when we get back for as long as I need to LVL UP] planned Adam who had decided to aim to LVL UP each time he went to the dungeon.
At that rate, it wouldn\'t be long before he would be able to reach rank 2, and soon he would be able to gather enough system points to be able to afford all the features of the system he wanted, and to increase his mastery over certain things.
Washing and preparing for the day, Adam was embraced by a warm smile from his aunt as she prepared a large breakfast after seeing how much Adam would eat.
Adam had given her a large sum of money, equivalent to around 1000 gold for her to do as she pleased, and he wanted her to never have to worry about working or running out of money ever again.
She had been through enough struggle in her life, with Adam, who wasn\'t even related to her by blood, acting as a burden, and because of that, Adam wanted to give her the best life that he could.
But in order to do so, he needed strength, wealth and power which would give him the influence and confidence needed to live a prominent and comfortable life without worrying about anything.
"What are you planning to do today?" asked Adam.
"Not much, I don\'t have much to do anyway" answered Jannet, still looking for a purpose in her life.
"Why don\'t we spend the day together" offered Adam who felt bad for his aunt and wanted to repay her for the struggles that she went through to support him.
"Are you not busy today with your work and other things that you have going on?" asked his aunt, not wanting to be a burden on Adam and waste his time.
"No, I am free on Sundays and will spend them with you. If there is anything you want to do or need my help with, I am available" answered Adam eagerly offering his help to his aunt.
The hardship that Adam experienced to pay for his aunt\'s medical bills was the same as the hardship that his aunt went through to provide for him, and was what made him a man after experiencing the cruel world.
He only went through it for over 2 years, while his aunt had been struggling and working multiple jobs in order to give him a carefree life ever since he was born. Because of that, Adam was willing to do almost anything to please her, as long as she was happy.
Seeing the boy that she raised, sat before her, that only at the tender age of 18 had become a dependable and independent man, Jannet couldn\'t help but be proud as she began to cry to herself.
"Are you okay?" asked Adam as he walked over to his aunt, that sat opposite him and began to cry.
"Don\'t worry son, these are tears of joy after seeing how mature and dependable you have become" stated Jannet as she wiped her tears and stood up with a smile.
Adam seeing his aunt proud of him, was happy that he had been recognised and his struggle had paid off. He also couldn\'t help but be grateful to the Dungeon System that had completely changed his life, and without it, his aunt would have most likely died and he would have still been a useless, homeless youth that was struggling to survive.
Worst of all, without the Dungeon System, he would have been ignorant towards the existence of the world of cultivation.
They went around shopping and although Jannet didn\'t want to spend Adam\'s money, Adam would buy anything that she remotely seemed to like, wanting to please his aunt as much as possible.
He could gain a few thousand dollars within an hour of hunting within the dungeon, and as long as he pleased his aunt, it was worth it. His main drive towards success was his aunt, and if he didn\'t spend money and time with his aunt, that raised him and provided for him his entire life, then who else was he meant to do it with.
They had a nice day as Jannet looked around the local area to see if there were any shops that were empty, looking for an opportunity to form a business or shop of her own.
The day passed quickly and they found a nice outdoor food stall where they ate a nice meal together and enjoyed themselves as Jannet felt as though she had no worries in life.
However, that was what made her feel empty and it scared her.
If she had no worries and nothing to work towards and aim for, what was the purpose of her life.
Her main purpose was to provide and give Adam the best upbringing that she could, but now that Adam had become independent, she felt empty.
The juxtaposing feelings of joy and emptiness were confusing Jannet as she looked at Adam who was calm and handsome with long black hair and brown eyes, because of the contacts he was wearing, and she finally managed to clear up her own confusion.
Adam seemed to be the ideal child for any mother and made Jannet proud constantly ever since she had awoken from her coma, but it was time for her to move on and create a legacy for herself and enjoy her own life.
She didn\'t know what had occurred, but she felt young and healthy and was physically feeling better than she had felt ever since she had found Adam. With that, she could still have a partner, a job, and everything else that an ordinary person would desire for themselves.
"Adam I have decided, I want to open a small store in this local area and I also want to buy a cosy small house in the local area after saving up" decided Jannet.
The day that they spent together had made Jannet realise that it was never too late to live, and with all the hardship that she experienced, she only wanted an ordinary life with an average income and a small home.
"That\'s great, I can invest in your shop and help you start up. Then you can build upon it and do as you please with it" stated Adam supportively.
He could see that his aunt had been down lately and knew that she must have felt empty and as though she didn\'t have a purpose, and putting himself in her position he understood how she felt.
Adam with the Dungeon System and everything that he had been shown after integrating with it, had many things that he wanted to accomplish and had limitless growth potential, which had made it so that he had never once felt as though he didn\'t have a purpose.
However thinking about it, if it wasn\'t for his aunt\'s medical bills, he most likely would have killed himself in the situation that he was in.
And if weren\'t because of the existence of powerful cultivators that were above the law and could do as they pleased, Adam would have become complacent and only hunted in the dungeon for money.
One could only have drive and determination with a goal and purpose that they were aiming to fulfil and seeing that his aunt had seemed to find her purpose, Adam was pleased.
He had spent a nice day with his aunt as he helped her place her clothes within her wardrobe and place the groceries that they had bought in their place.
After that, he returned to his room and saw that it was already 6 in the afternoon.
Without much else to do, Adam wanted to get back into the dungeon to hunt some more and was planning to LVL UP every time he went into the dungeon.
[It is 6 pm now, I will go in the dungeon until 10 am, which will give me 32 hours within the dungeon] decided Adam.
"Aunt, I will be busy planning a new project all night, so there is no need to make me any dinner or worry, okay" called out Adam, making an excuse for him staying within his room for 16 hours.
"Okay son, just make sure not to overwork yourself and to eat" replied Jannet as she busied herself with housework and planning what she was going to do.
Seeing that she was no longer stressing over what to do with her life, Adam was happy and was finally ready to return to the dungeon after spending a day with his aunt.
