“Shit, this is probably the first time that I woke up directly from a dream. What a stroke of bad luck,” Clark grumbled, as he got up. He looked around, and finally did a proper survey of the room that he booked last night. He admired the decorations and scenery. From the little he already saw, he knew that he got a nice hotel. He was too exhausted to glance around yesterday, so he looked to his fill. “The vigilantes did a proper job reserving this hotel for me,” he thought with a smile. He dropped down again to rest his back a little, as he rolled on the king-sized bed. “Ah!! Today is a Sunday,” he suddenly recalled. "Since I'm not going anywhere, I’ll just use this opportunity to visit the church. Man…, it’s been years since I last entered a church," he soliloquized nostalgically. He glanced at his wristwatch, which indicated that the time was 33 minutes after 800 am. “Oh, no rush then, the second service is already in session. ’ll just go to the third service around 1000 am”. He quickly decided as he went to the bathroom to have his bath. Despite having his bath last night, he felt like his whole body was not clean enough to his satisfaction. He hummed a song, as the water poured down from the shower over his body. He broke his record for the longest time in the bathroom, as he stayed there this time for over 30 minutes. The water was simply too enjoyable, making him reluctant to leave the bathroom. After bathing and everything, he finally realized that he didn’t have any other clothes, apart from his already worn-out military uniform. So, he directly ordered online for a suit, a pair of shoes to match the suit, a pair of jean trousers, a trending fashion polo shirt, and a face cap. “Man, I’m famished”. He exclaimed after completing his virtual purchase, as he called the hotel operatives to order breakfast. 5 minutes later, the food was brought over by a female waitress. She greeted while smiling lavishly at him after he opened the door, before placing the tray of dishes on his table. “Mr. Clark, do you need any other service from us?” She asked politely, after serving her patron. “No, no need, thank you very much for the service. I’ll pay for everything later”. Clark replied with a smile. She smiled again at him, before going.In the 5 minutes that he waited for his food to be delivered, he already brushed his teeth and did every other necessary thing. He was someone that believed in maximizing his time usage. Instead of waiting idly, he opted to be productive in the short free time he had. It was hard, but he persevered as he refused to bring out his bag to check his battle loots or better still trophies. “I’ll sort them out when I come back from church,” he reasoned. After eating, he waited a little more, before his package was delivered. “30 minutes, their delivery time is quite fast,” he thought with satisfaction. He paid the delivery man a total of 65 Spartan credits for the goods, with an additional 4 credits as transportation costs. “The trending fashion polo shirt is 5 credits; the face cap is also 5 credits, what a rip-off. And the face cap is even on a 20% discount, so they said. Some online trading companies are completely crazy,” he cursed, as he quickly went to dress up. He was not about to grumble all day, as time was not on his side. After 2 minutes of dressing up, he finally came out of his room. “Man, I look sparkling”. He blurted out, as he looked at his reflection from the mirror. The well-designed suit, paired with the matching shoes, did a good job in enhancing his look. With his slightly long hair cascading down his neck, he looked just like a man fine-tuned by a fashion designer. "After combing my hair, I look even more handsome,” he thought with a smile. “It’s been long since I wore standard suit and shoes, almost forgetting how handsome I looked”. After more than 15 minutes of preparation, he was finally set for church. He picked 100 credits from his stash for offering, as he glanced at the time. “Shit, remaining only 10 minutes before church begins”. He went outside with speed, going directly to a car parked at the corner. He already hired a car from an online transport company. “I forgot the keys, shit”. He softly cursed to avoid drawing unnecessary attention to himself, as he ran back to get the car keys. He quickly returned, entered the car, and got prepared to go. He already started noticing it, but he was stunned speechless after entering the car. "When did a car hired for 2 days at 20 credits become this luxurious?” He thought while feeling shocked. The whole car was very neat, he even noticed now that the glasses were tinted. The chairs looked extremely luxurious, with even a comfort enhancement effect on them. He felt cool and relaxed, as the air conditioner blew in the cold fresh air.“Wow, this feels nice. Are you sure…? No, let me check the website again”. He succumbed to his curiosity, as he checked. He froze for a moment, before suddenly feeling an urge to cry when he saw his name, time, and the amount of money that was taken from his account. “I can’t believe I paid 100 Spartan credits for a hired car, which will be used for only 2 days. Is this retribution for the things I looted yesterday?” He questioned sadly. It was now that he looked clearly, and to his surprise, it was a Mercedes sports car. Despite centuries already passed, Mercedes was still a popular brand for ordinary cars that did not utilize exotics. After knowing this, his sadness was placated a bit, as he finally smiled again. Zoom!! The car roared to life, as he drove across the streets. He followed the car’s GPS direction, to the nearest church. About 15 minutes later, he finally arrived at the church, it was an Anglican church. He didn’t go to an Anglican church when he was young, but he did not discriminate either. He drew a lot of attention, as his sports car entered the church compound. It’s finely coated dark surface, reflecting light a little under the glow of the sun painted it as a car with class. Latecomers passing by, stared at the car with curiosity, as it slowly entered the parking lot.He felt good from the attention, as he came down from the car under the stares of everyone, “I guess my money was not wasted with this alone,” he thought. Nobody hated being admired, and he was not an exception. He loved the attention. He didn’t stand in one place like a fool after coming out, as he walked towards the church entrance. The church was already in session, as an usher came out to lead him inside the church premises. “This way sir,” the usher said respectfully, as he confidently marched after him. After entering the church, he finally calmed down as this was neither a party nor showroom. This was the house of God. “Amazing grace…, how sweet thy sound…” The hymn was being sung by the choir, as he entered. He was led to a seat in the middle of the church, as the service continued. He gradually freed himself of every worry, as he laid all his worries before God. It was a very nostalgic and wonderful feeling. [Thank you for reading this chapter I really appreciate it.
