Idle Money System

[I've combined what would have been two chapters into one, as the chapters detailing his initial adventure were quite lengthy. I hope you enjoy it, dear readers!]

After traveling just a few minutes, Alexander had already arrived at the sight of the village. He did not know the happenings, nor did he have any other idea what happened when he left.

In the dead of night, with only the howling wind that is very much audible, he entered his current home.

Once inside, the living room was deserted. He proceeded to his room, having already removed his armor beforehand.

Even though he really loved the designs and the comfort it gave, he couldn't just sleep with it on; it would make him sweat since it was a foolproof suite.

As he opened the door, he was surprised that there was someone there. It was none other than Aeloria, who was lying straight in the bed with her eyes closed.

Alexander, seeing this, just smiled. He then walked towards her, seeing her sleeping face that was filled with innocence and beauty.

"She's still charming even if she's sleeping," Alexander muttered in a low voice, as he lowered his legs and caressed her face with her fingers.

He was really mesmerized by this scene, but then shook his head since what he was doing was not right. He then stood up and decided to just sleep outside or even cultivate.

Since cultivating can be more refreshing than sleeping, as he opened the door, Aeloria, who was in the bed, woke up and sat up in the bed, looking at him intently.

"Alex, you're back. Where are you going?" Aeloria spoke, looking at his drifting back.

It was a question, if she really was asleep or just pretending. Alexander thought that she must have woken up because of him being so noisy, and even touching her face in the process.

"I will be sleeping outside. Sorry for waking you up," he said, looking back to her.

Aeloria, hearing this, did not agree with it, as she stood up and pulled his hand, pulling him towards the bed.

"Isn't this your room? Why would you sleep outside? This is not right," she said, her face serious.

Alexander was stunned by her sudden change. It was really different from her usual self. This made him a little baffled as his consciousness came back, as they arrived on the bed.

"Let's sleep!" Aeloria spoke, as she pushed Alexander on the bed forcefully, making him surprised.

She became so dominant all of a sudden, totally different from her gentle and caring side. Alexander was about to ask what the problem was, but he was shocked.

His mouth was closed forcefully by soft lips, making him terrified. Why the sudden kiss? Being kissed so aggressively, he could not control himself anymore as he fought back.

He held her in the waist, pulling her close, as the two of them sat in the bed. Aeloria sat on his lap, with her two hands on his cheeks.

Alexander had seen a lot of movies with these kissing scenes, so he decided to insert his tongue in her mouth. Aeloria was petrified, but decided to just let Alexander do what he wanted.

Her breathing became rigid and turbulent as her cheeks began to turn red. Her eyes turned misty and moist. After a few minutes of sharing emotions with each other, Alexander took back his lips.

Feeling her heavy breathing, he decided to stop from that. Aeloria, seeing her chance to breathe, she curled her hands around his neck, looking at him seductively.

She felt so hot in her lips that there was even some saliva dripping slowly, making her look like a baby. Alexander couldn't help but chuckle.

Hearing this, she was so embarrassed as she looked at him in the eye, "Why are you laughing?" she said, her eyes narrowing like a mad woman, but her voice was soft and gentle. Not knowing if she was really mad or shy.

But she did not know that her current expression right now was so hot and sexy from Alexander's point of view.

Aeloria opened her mouth to speak, but Alexander leaned in close, pressing his lips gently against her neck.

Whatever words she had were lost as she tilted her head back, closing her eyes and biting her lip, a quiet gasp escaping her.

Alexander trailed his kisses along her delicate neck, drawing a soft moan from Aeloria as she shivered in his arms, her breaths quickening.

He grazed her skin with his teeth, making her hum with delight. She pressed a finger to her lips, as her eyes fluttering closed as he shifted to gently lick the same spot, leaving a faint mark on her skin.

His touch sent a thrill through her, and she instinctively leaned closer. Feeling her soft breast against his chest and the tension between them intensify, as Alexander's heart pounded.

Aeloria's gentle movements pressed her closer, creating a warmth that left him breathless.

His hard like rod was between her garden creating a colliding sensation where Aeloria began to bend her waist from side to side rubbing it with pleasure, making him wide awake. Enjoy more content from empire

He decided to stop, as he pulled back, drawing a steadying breath. He knew if they continued, things might escalate.

They hadn't yet confirmed their relationship, and he felt it would be wrong to go further without a deeper commitment between them.

His mind warned him as he took a deep breath to clear those impure thoughts. He stopped and looked at her as he put his hand on her cheeks, which were so red like they were burning.

Aeloria just let him while glancing at his face, which was calm as the lake as he looked at her.

Aeloria's heart ached as doubt crept in. She worried that her eagerness had made Alexander see her as cheap woman, unworthy of respect.

That is when fear and insecurity welled up in her eyes, and tears began to form.

Alexander noticed the change immediately, and was stunned by the sudden shift in her mood. Panic rose within him, since he had no idea what had caused this.

"Aeloria, what's wrong? Why are you acting like this?" he asked gently, his tone soft and caring.

"Look at you; you're making me worry." he said.

Hearing his warm words, Aeloria's emotions overflowed. She buried her face against his chest, wrapping her arms around him tightly as silent tears streamed down her cheeks.

She held back her sobs to avoid waking anyone else in the house. Alexander, meanwhile, was at a loss, he was caught in a dilemma as he tried to understand her sudden distress.

"Aiyaa, come on, stop crying. You don't want to look like a baby, do you?" Alexander teased gently, stroking her hair.

Aeloria continued to sob quietly in his arms. After a few minutes of his comforting embrace, she stepped back, her expression was still clouded with sadness.

"Isn't it because… you're leaving us? And we might never see each other again?" she asked, her gaze downcast.

Realizing what had been troubling her and why the sudden change, Alexander couldn't help but chuckle softly.

He reached out and pinched her cheeks, making her blush, though she kept her gaze fixed on him.

"I didn't get to finish explaining earlier," he said with a reassuring smile.

"I am leaving, but if there's a chance… I'd love to come back."

Though he couldn't promise anything certain, he meant every word. She listened, her heart sinking but her resolve steady as she took in his words, waiting to hear the rest.

"And if you want to come with me, I'd be more than happy to bring you both. My homeland is safe, without any dangers just like your place, so you'd be well-protected over their. But I won't pressure you. Just know that coming back here might not be impossible— but it only had a slim chance that you'd ever see this village again," he finished, watching as Aeloria absorbed his words.

After a moment, she sighed in relief, feeling warmth at the thought that he wanted her and Anya to come with him.

But she hadn't decided yet; she would need to talk to Anya first. If Anya chose not to go, she knew that she has to decline Alexander's offer, no matter how much it hurt her or even if she were to regret it in the future.

She had made a promise to Anya's mother to protect her, to raise her with love and guide her into becoming a kind, fulfilled young woman. That commitment lay deeply rooted in her heart, and she couldn't abandon it, even if it meant saying goodbye to Alexander.

"Don't worry; you have time to think it over. We still have two days so take your time," Alexander said softly.

"Let's get some sleep—you look so exhausted."

After that, he started to stand, but Aeloria instinctively wrapped her legs around his waist and clung to him like a koala, her arms encircling his neck.

Smiling, Alexander gently placed her down on the bed, where she finally relaxed her grip and settled beside him.

"You should rest," he whispered, lying down next to her. As they settled together, Alexander wrapped his arm around her waist, holding her close.

For the first time that night, he let his thoughts quiet, content to simply be there with her, no other intentions in mind.

Aeloria had imagined countless scenarios in her mind when Alexander held her close, but as time passed and he remained still, her eyelids grew heavy, and she eventually drifted into a peaceful sleep.

When morning came, the two rose from bed, and Aeloria found a quiet moment to speak with Anya. She gently asked if Anya wanted to follow her big brother Alex. She didn't try to sway her, wanting to hear Anya's true feelings.

Anya's face fell at the news. The thought of her brother leaving for good weighed heavily on her, and the idea of following him felt bittersweet. If she chose to go, she would have little chance of seeing Grandma May and the villagers she loved again.

Lost in thought, Anya looked down, struggling with the decision. Grandma May, who had come into the room and overheard the conversation, sighed knowingly. She had sensed that this day would come, though that didn't make it any easier.

Grandma May walked over to Anya, gently patting her head, "Anya, leaving the village could be a good thing for you and your sister. You know how dangerous it is here, don't you? Do you really want to risk something bad happening to either of you?" she asked softly.

Anya hearing this just lowered her head, her big round eyes are filling with tears as she slowly shook her head.

"I know you love this village," Grandma May continued, her voice gentle but firm.

"This is your home, your birthplace. But sometimes, moving on leads to a brighter future. If you go with your big brother Alex, you won't have to worry about any danger to befall upon you or even hunger."

Grandma May who was saying this could feel her own heart heavy with sadness and reluctance, but she steeled herself.

Any sign of hesitation on her part would only make Anya's choice harder, and she wanted both Aeloria and Anya to have a life filled with safety and opportunity, even if it meant leaving the village behind.

"Anya, didn't your big sister say that it's not really impossible to visit back someday? So don't give up hope. Wait for the right moment, and you can come see us whenever you can. This village will always be your home," Grandma May said with a warm smile.

Anya, then wipe away her forming tears, as she nodded with a bright smile, "Alright, Grandma May, I'll go with big brother Alex. It's for my own good, and for my big sister too," she said, her voice filled with determination.

"That's my good girl," Grandma May said, pinching her cheek lovingly.

From the side, Aeloria watched the exchange, feeling a deep gratitude toward Grandma May.

No matter how reluctant she was to leave the old woman, who had become like a second mother to her, she knew this was the best decision for all of them.

Alexander had no idea what transpired while he was out with Nendo discussing plans for a feast. Though he initially declined, Nendo was insistent, and in the end, Alexander agreed.

During their conversation, Nendo asked about the events of the previous night. Alexander recounted what happened, though he kept some details to himself.

Hearing this, Nendo's tension seemed to ease, and the burden he carried gradually lifted. After spending some time sharing stories and laughing like brothers, Alexander returned home.

Upon hearing that Aeloria and Anya had agreed to follow him, he let out a relieved sigh. He knew that this world was far too dangerous for the two of them, but if they were in his care, with the laws and structure of his world, they would be safe.

"Young Alex, please don't treat my two daughters badly," Grandma May said, her voice filled with concern.

"Take care of them for me, will you? I've always considered them my family."

Hearing this, Aeloria and Anya couldn't hold back their tears anymore as they embraced Grandma May.

Alexander smiled at the heartfelt scene and, in that moment, made a vow filled with an unbreakable promise.

"I promise, from the depths of my heart as the heavens as my witness, if I break this promise, I will be struck by lightning as my punishment."

Just as the words left his mouth, a rumble of thunder echoed through the otherwise serene village, despite the bright sun.

The sound of lightning made them all pause for a moment, but life continued on as usual, as if the heavens themselves had confirmed his vow.

Grandma May, hearing his promise, let out a relieved sigh. The next day, the banquet began. There was an abundance of food, thanks to the beasts Alexander had slain. The village stockpile was filled for the next 5 to 6 months.

The villagers celebrated Alexander's departure and the farewell to both Aeloria and Anya. It was a joyous occasion, filled with laughter, food, and warm memories.

But, as with all good things, the celebration eventually came to an end. Night fell, and with it, the last moments of their time together slipped away. When morning arrived, it marked the beginning of a new chapter for all of them.

[You will be transported back in 5 minutes. Please be prepared.]

The system prompted in his mind as the room grew quiet, filled with the emotions of impending separation. Grandma May, though heartbroken, smiled softly, her eyes glistening with unshed tears.

"Take care of them, Alex. I know you'll make sure they're safe and happy." Her voice trembled, but she remained strong, understanding that this was for their future.

Aeloria and Anya stepped back from the embrace, their eyes still wet with tears. Anya wiped her face with the back of her hand, trying to hold back the sobs, while Aeloria gave one last lingering look at the woman who had been like a mother to her.

"Goodbye, Grandma May," Aeloria said softly, her voice breaking with emotion. "Thank you for everything."

Anya also spoke, "Goodbye, Grandma May. Little Anya will miss you."

"Take care, dear girls," Grandma May replied, her voice steady, though her heart was breaking.

"May you both find happiness and safety."

Nendo stood back, observing the exchange with quiet understanding. He then clasped Alexander's shoulder one last time.

"Look after them, Alex. This village will always be grateful for what you've done."

Alexander nodded, his expression serious yet soft. "I will. Thank you, Nendo."

The moment lingered, but the pressure of time was mounting. The system's prompt sounded again, reminding him of what was to come.

[You will be transported back in 3 minutes. Please be prepared.]

"Alright, it's time," Alexander said, his voice calm but carrying an underlying emotion.

He gently took Aeloria and Anya's hands, squeezing them both reassuringly. "Remember, this isn't goodbye forever. We'll be back."

He turned inwardly, addressing the system, "System, use my Dimensional Passport so Aeloria and Anya can follow me back to my world."

[Roger, Host]

[One-time use item activated. Target: Aeloria and Anya.]

[Notice: 1 minute remaining to be teleported.]

As the system's voice echoed in his mind, Alexander looked at the two girls, holding their hands tightly.

"Thank you for everything," he said softly.

"We'll leave now."

With the final countdown ticking away, a spectral blue light enveloped the three of them. In an instant, they vanished, leaving behind the village and the world they had known.
