Chapter 622: Mysterious Dreams
—–
As she slept, Miriam suddenly began to have strange dreams.
This happened very often. Whenever she dreamed, she was often brought to strange places she had never met before.
In the outside world, she seemed to always be an ordinary orphan girl, abused by the nouns of the orphanage and that was the elder sister of most of the children there, being kind of like a big sister figure for them.
She had even used her coins to buy them delicious freshly baked bread and cheese for everyone to eat something yummy tonight outside of the moldy and stale bread and the bone soup they always ate once a day…
For developing children, such poor meals weren't optimal at all, and she knew it very well, everyone in the orphanage always went through intense hunger, and seemed malnourished, as the elder sister, she had seen many fall before they could grow up, and one of her dreams has always been about feeding them well.
She slept while resisting her hunger, as she suddenly saw through her eyes in her dreams, that she didn't looked like she did before.
"Huh? What is… this? Again…" she thought.
She opened her eyes wide, finding herself in the body of a young woman, wearing a beautiful red dress, her hair was long and brown, with a small tinge of red on it, her eyes shone brightly as she looked at herself…
She looked around herself as she found many creatures wandering around which one would only hear in legends in the world of Gaia, enormous dragons, powerful titans, giant turtle with trees over their backs, and more.
These legendary beasts all bowed to her.
She looked at all of them with her childish mind in wonder, forgetting about the life in the real world, and living in this dream as much as she could.
It was a beautiful dream where she was the friend of many powerful and legendary monsters, she traveled with them around the world, and helped people using their abilities.
She was known as a beautiful maiden of the beasts, someone that traveled around the world and seek all sorts of wonders.
Perhaps because of these mysterious and beautiful dreams, Miriam always woke up with a lot of energy, despite the horrendous life she lived.
However, in the middle of her dreams, a whisper spoke to her… a whisper that often came every time she had such dreams.
"Never forget… Who you are…"
"Huh?"
It was the voice of a young man whispering to her.
She didn't knew what this meant, nor who this could had been.
But she continued trying to discern the whisper.
However, before she could get any closer to such a mysterious whisper, she woke up.
"…"
She opened her eyes and looked around the room, she was still in the orphanage.
All of it was just a dream after all…
"Sigh…"
However, she suddenly remembered that she had to go back to Frank's shop, he was going to give her a job after all!
Her face quickly changed into a wide smile, as she was eager to work and earn her own money to save and then move out, possibly with her siblings to a better place.
Although her belly felt very empty, and she had barely managed to sleep thanks to her pleasant dreams, even though her stomach ached a lot.
"I wonder if mister would have something to eat… Ah, I shouldn't be cocky and ask for food… Getting a job is good enough…" she thought.
…
Meanwhile, Frank woke up over his bed while stretching his arms and quickly decided to take a stroll to the convenience store for some breakfast things his mother wanted from there.
Her obsession with buying "normal things" outside of wasting App Points to generate them or bringing them from his divine realm was very weird, but he could understand that she had grown bored of eating monster meat… she just wanted to eat normal things.
He looked around the convenience store and remembered the children he had… Alexander loved sweets but… he shouldn't eat more, so he decided to just buy him a pudding instead of candy or a chocolate bar.
He ended buying around two packs of four each, and then browsed around, recalling all the other children, he knew they would all ask for pudding, so he suddenly went back and put some more on the basket.
Having children was something complicated, he had to always have them into consideration in every single thing like this.
He sighed, buying a bag of potato chips with spicy flavor for himself, and bought things up.
The guy in the shop looked at him with a mild smile.
"Early today?" he asked.
"Uh, yeah…" said Frank.
This guy was certainly quite awkward sometimes.
"You got a lot of kids for being so young…" he said.
Frank squinted his eyes.
He quickly scanned his entire body and then grabbed the man's neck.
"Aghhh!"
"You come from the underworld? Why are you asking so many questions?" he asked angrily.
"W-What are you talking about?! I-I am going to call the police!" cried the guy.
"…"
Frank quickly let go of him as he sighed, waving his hand, a wave of illusion reached the man's head and Frank quickly deleted those memories.
The man's face quickly changed back to how it was before the incident.
"Alright that's that…" he said.
"Thank you, keep the charge." Said Frank.
"Eh? I keep it? W-Wait, I've never gone through this… Is this actually legal? EH? Wait!"
The guy of the shop tried to stop Frank, but he walked away and ignored him.
Frank sighed.
"I think I have a few screws loose, now anything remotely suspicious triggers me… I should take it easy…" he sighed.
…
"Papa! Candy?"
The little Alexander teleported before Frank the moment he went back home, as he immediately began to ask for candies…
"No, Alexander, we already spoke about this…" he sighed.
"B-But…" cried Alexander.
"Instead, I got you something more nutritious… I think. How about pudding?" asked Frank.
"Pudding?" asked Alex in shock.
