"All finished..." I sighed in relief as I place the TV down.
I had just bought a brand-new TV and coffee table for the hideout, I then sat down on the couch and began to watch TV. It was fairly quiet and lonely being here by myself.
~pop~
"Hey, Mike!" Ada then appeared in the middle of the room out of nowhere holding both Owota and David. She then threw both of them onto my bed and sat down with me on the couch. "Both of them need to take long rests since we just got back from the hospital."
"Thought you killed them..."
"I'm not that crazy..."
"Well I'm going off, I need a break as well."
"Have fun!"
I then grabbed my jacket and headed outside. My name is Mike López, a 23-year-old guy who specializes in killing Kaiju. Despite my crazy profession, I'm still just your average otaku high school dropout. I'd like to say my life was pretty crappy before I joined Gigantomachia, I used to be one of those NEETs who would stay all day and isolate myself, man I was a loser.
I arrived at a cafe and was greeted by a line of 4 people. It doesn't seem that bad at first glance but this cafe is known for being stupidly slow...
"Can I have your order mam?" The cashier asked the lady in the front of the line.
"I'll have one cappuccino, please."
"You want what?"
"A cappuccino..."
"Which one?"
"What do you mean which one?"
"What flavor, size, design, amount of sugar and smell do you want?"
"Can I just have a normal one?"
"We don't do that here, you have to choose..."
"Uh... can I get a large... bean flavor cappuccino... with 2 sugars... with the Christmas design... and strong smell?"
"Would you like to have that here or to go?"
"I would like to have it to go please."
"Sorry mam but you have to repeat your whole order due to store policy."
"What why!?"
"I don't know mam, just ask my manager or look it up on our Facebook page."
This is going to take a while...

"Goddammit my head hurts..." I said to myself as I woke up in the middle of the day in my bed. I lived in a small apartment that was the size of a bedroom. The curtains were closed with light leaking out through the openings, you could even see specks of dust fly through the air.
Rubbish was scattered all over the floor with beer and soda stuck to the floor creating a smell that flooded the whole room. I then got up and began to stretch.
"I can't believe I'm doing this..."
My parents had just cut off my weekly allowance so I had to get a job. It was either that or starving to death. I then put on a jacket and a Grey shirt with jeans and stood in front of the door. I felt hopeless and scared, I didn't know what to do...
My people skills aren't bad so I think I can nail an interview... But what if they hate my hair? But what if they don't like my voice? But what if they don't like the way I smell. What if I scare them? What if I seem sad and that puts them off, I need to seem cheerful and happy. What if I never find a job, what if I'm not good enough, what if I just stay here and don't go outside... But what if I don't try.
"Screw it..." I said as I opened the door. I then put my head down and began to look at my phone as I was walking. I just followed the path towards my local 8-11 next to my apartment building and entered in.
~2~
"Welcome to 8-11 how are you today sir?" A woman at the front of the store then greeted me. She had long black hair and wore glasses.
This was the moment I prepared for... "Yes, I am," I replied.
~Silence~
"I just... came by to apply for your opening... Your opening position!" I then handed her my resume and put my hands in my pocket.
I feel like I'm going to die...
The store looked fairly clean and there was a nice elderly couple with their 3 grandchildren.
~7~
"Well, your resume seems great. We just needed literally anyone with experience so we'd be glad to have you on board."
That was easier than I expected...
"HEEEYOOOOOO, DO YOU GUYS HAVE BEER?" Shouted a middle-aged man in a suit. He had 3 of his friends carrying him since he was drunk.
~11~
"Sorry, we don't sell alcoholic beverages..."
An abnormally large mechanical creature then appeared suddenly out of nowhere appearing in front of me. Its height would be estimated around 60 meters with long mechanical arms sprouting from it's back. It had a face with no eyes or jaw and had rust under its eye sockets resembling tears. The creature then grabbed the lady standing in front of me crushing her spine in an instant. I wanted to run away but my limbs were stuck in place as if I was being held by strings.
The creature then began to grab all the other people around me and start devouring them starting with the lady. The people who tried to run away were grabbed by the creatures abnormally long hands and suffered the same fa-

"Can I have your order, sir?" The cashier asked me.
"Can I just get regular coffee please..."
"You want that in a cup or not?"
"What? What do you mean do I want it in a cup or not? How else am I going to drink my coffee?"
"We pour it into your hands."
ಠ_ಠ "What?"
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
