Growl.
My stomach screamed from hunger. I woke up from my soft bed, groaning, and instinctively placed a hand on my abdomen.
Growl.
I was starving. I really regretted not eating more that evening. I glanced over at Bob, he was sleeping like a log. No surprise there. The man had devoured so much during our double date at the café, and even before we arrived at the building, he had polished off a whole cup of chickpeas by himself. No wonder he was out cold.
Ugh. I was in a dilemma. I flopped back onto the bed. Sleep... or go find something to eat?
We had less than ten coins in our savings. A small voice inside me whispered regret about giving away all our money to the townspeople. We would definitely need to take on quests soon to replenish our funds. But the idea of questing just for money, it did not bring joy anymore. It felt more like a responsibility than something I actually enjoyed.
Hey, why are you thinking like that, Alan?
I slapped both cheeks with my hands.
