Closing the window, I think back to what happened after ending the dungeon.
My dungeon adventures couldn't be seen by anyone, the Danger Room covering the windows with white light and shutting the cameras inside the room, seemingly to protect me and my actions, the reason why they were so worried when I got out of it with my clothes torn.
When they asked me what happened inside, I said that the Danger Room made me fight against some crooks with guns, from their face they didn't seem to believe me but they didn't ask any further questions.
Sighing, I rest my head against my pillow, scrolling through the new perks I could buy, most were already seen, all regarding skills reaching level 10 and giving a boost in an area of said skill, the new ones though were more interesting.
Either about my new ability to control mana or about some of my stats reaching the 10 mark.

There so many fucking options that my head was starting to hurt, some were kind of meh, like the keen senses, other instead would be game changers, like the ones related to mana, or the fast HP regen, my regen was already kind of broken on its own, after getting stabbed, shot at with blots that withered any life force, it took just a few minutes to get back up to full health.
'AHHHHH, I can't decide.' I thought, while closing the window, not choosing is the option for now, I will buy it later, for now I need some fresh air.
Heading outside my room, I decided to not go to the back of the mansion, instead I decided to head outside the mansion, the feeling of my hair being carassed by the wind making me relax, buying 12 hot dogs and wolf them down followed by 4 slices of pepperoni pizza also helped with the relaxing thingy, yeah I like food, don't judge me.
When I was about to buy my fifth slice of pizza, a redhead proceeded to buy the last piece of pepperoni, forcing me to buy normal cheese pizza.
" Isn't that like your fifth slice?" The woman with red hair asked me out of nowhere after I had gone outside to eat.
And I only now noticed how fucking hot she was, like god motherfucking damn, did God decide to paint on her face?
" Maybe, I don't keep track when I eat pizza."
She sniffled a laugh, which sounded weird but Vocal Recognition didn't ping anything, so I just kept my distance.
" Wish I could be the same, this figure doesn't keep itself in check." Her movements were more seducing than necessary, even her words, if not forced to be calm, would have made me pop a boner.
'Is she a predator? I am 18 and she looks around 25 to 30, what does she want from me?'
" I think there is not much to keep in check," I said rudely, hoping that would tick her off enough to either make her go away, and if she stayed then something wasn't right, like at all.
Her right eye flinches for a millisecond, and I noticed it only because I was searching for something wrong, otherwise I wouldn't have noticed, but she didn't move away, instead remaining close and even taking micro steps to move closer.
'Yesh fuck this.' I thought while throwing the pizza slice in my hand at her face and running away.
That bought me enough time to enter an alley, then another, then another, and lastly go inside a coffee shop where I wore a hat and sunglasses I had stored inside my inventory.
My feet moved in anxiety, my fingers tapping on the table, and my eyes constantly scanning the room in search of something wrong.

3RD POV
" What do you mean you lost him?" A rough voice asked the red-haired woman, who had just cleaned herself from having cheese pizza thrown at her face.
" I mean the asshole threw pizza at my face before I could plant anything on him, he even insulted my figure, the audacity." She said jokingly, though her eyes weren't that happy.
" Are you telling me that a new Mutant, barely considered a man, was able to perceive something wrong in you and escape you? Are you getting rusty?"
" I will get rusty the day Santa Claus becomes real."
"Regardless, you have to find him and plant a microphone on him, discovering his powers is of utmost importance considering the urgency with which they took him."
" I will when you tell me where he is." She snapped back, her anger resurfacing after she had discovered a piece of cheese stuck in her hair.

'... Was going to the Mansion a good idea?'
