Chapter 19: Safeway
During breakfast—after Winter was teased—they had small talk about what they had planned for the day.
Simon suggested they go out in search of more food, which they all agreed upon. He also brought up the topic about the new storage door he saw downstairs.
Turning towards Winter, he asked, "Hey, am I tripping or has that storage door always been there?"
Winter shook his head. "Fortunately, you aren't tripping. That's a new storage room built among other things."
*Phew*
Wiping off the imaginary sweat off his forehead, Simon inquired. "So... are you gonna tell us how that room just appeared, "among others," or is that a secret?"
Placing his fork down, Winter explained about his hidden ability. He told them that it was a hidden skill called 'Creation', and that it allowed him to create things at a cost.
"That's how I was able to get the bow and sword. Other than that, the house has also been revamped. I installed a water and air purifier, bulletproof windows, attack-resistant walls, and steel doors—only for the front, back, and garage door," he explained.
The three sat there, taking in the information, when Simon excitedly asked, "Does that apply to food?!!?"
"Yes, it applies to food—"
Simon quickly stood up and rejoiced, declaring that from that day forward, Winter would be his King. Unfortunately, Winter shat on his parade with his next words.
