Surviving the Apocalypse with my Multiplier System novel Chapter 79

(A/N: Thank you for all the kind reviews, as promised this chapter is part of the mini mass release as a thank you to all who have taken the time to leave a review!)

Julian walked into his bedroom from the bathroom and opened his dresser. He pulled out a sleek black t-shirt with a deep V-neck and a pair of black pants. He even walked over and sprayed two spritz of his favorite musky cologne.

"Okay, you got this," he mumbled, giving himself a little pep talk before walking out.

He saw Rayne sitting quietly on the couch, deep in thought. "Hey, what are you thinking about so seriously?" he asked curiously.

Rayne snapped out of her thoughts and looked up at Julian. She noticed his slightly different attire and felt her heart race.

Oh my goodness. He’s so good-looking!

"I was just thinking about redecorating your room... if you’re interested!" she said happily, the tips of her ears turning pink.

Julian widened his eyes and looked around his room. He had never really paid attention to it before, but it did look rather barren and cold.

"I would love for you to help me make this place more homey," he said, looking back at her. "Is there anything I can do to help?"

Rayne stood up excitedly. "Umm, could you take any of your important belongings out of the drawers? Other than that, do you have any particular style?" she asked as she looked around the room, coming up with a design plan.

"Nope, you have full freedom! Well... please don’t make it princess pink or something," he laughed and went to collect his things.

Rayne got to work excitedly and began to store the existing furniture. A few minutes later, the room was left completely empty.

Opening the system panel, Rayne navigated to where the furniture was and picked out a number of items.

She chose a large leather L-shaped sofa, complementing the larger room. Before placing it down, she first laid out a grey, chevron-patterned rug, covering the cold concrete floors.

Rayne then placed a large, solid wood coffee table in front of the sofa and a matching console table to hold the TV.

She replaced the small flatscreen TV with a larger one and added smaller decor items like pillows, throws, vases, and books to the empty surfaces.

When Julian finally left his room after he finished emptying the dresser, he was shocked! The room looked unrecognizable—sleek and stylish.

He noticed that Rayne had picked out leather and wood elements, making it feel industrial and slightly more masculine.

There was even a faux tree in the corner that added some greenery.

"Wow! It looks incredible! Thank you, Rayne!" he exclaimed happily.

Rayne smiled at him, happy with how the room turned out. "Okay, if you don’t mind, let me redecorate your bedroom."

Julian stood at the door to his bedroom and motioned for her to come in. "Yes, of course!"

He stood in the doorway and watched as Rayne placed her hand on each piece of furniture before it vanished.

It only took her a few moments to completely empty the bedroom.

"Wow, what a handy ability..." Julian couldn’t help but comment.

Rayne nodded, agreeing with him. "It really is! When I moved a few months back, I didn’t even need to hire a moving company! It was very convenient!"

She picked out a leather bedframe to continue with the industrial style. It was a large, king-size bed, but like her own, it needed to be put together first.

"Here, would you mind helping with the bedframe? It should be fairly straightforward to put together," she said as she handed him a power tool.

"Sure thing!" he said, quickly getting to work.

While he was setting up the bedframe, Rayne laid out another rug and placed a dresser down along with two nightstands on each side of where the bed would be.
