6. Magic

“Good morning sunshine”

Nathaniel blinked in surprise.

He looked at the short man standing in front of him. The man smiled.

“Who are you”? Nathaniel asked.

“I’m here to ask you the same question, but it only fare to let you ask as well” the man said still smiling “my name is tolverstov droy, and since I have language ability, the mayor sent me to talk to you”

Nathaniel looked around. He was in a small room, lying on a bed and tolverstov stood between the bed and the door.

He had no recollection of how he got there, but he understood why, the hangover he had was the result of heavy drinking, the kind of drinking that tend to cause forgetfulness.

“Where am I”? he asked

“you’re in the mayor’s guest house. Now why don’t you tell me who you are?”

“My name is Nathaniel binder, I’m a bartender, and I was going to my friend’s apartment when I found myself standing naked in the room your people found me in”

“I see. You said you were naked, so where did you get the cloths you’re wearing right now?”

“I found it”

“In the same place you found the tool”? the man had one of his eyebrows raised.

“Actually, yes”

“you’ve just found a tool in a cave, and figure out a way to control it”?

“Yes, but I still don’t know what is a tool, I mean I know what is a tool, but not that kind of tool”

Tolverstov seemed confused, “you don’t know what is a tool, but you still found a way to control one”?

“Okey, I didn’t ‘found a way’ to control it. I can just put it in my inventory and take it out, I can’t even touch it”

“inventory”?

“Oh, inventory is a weird thing but teleportation is not”?

“You have ability for inventory”?

“No, I just have an inventory”

“I didn’t hear of such ability, and I don’t understand what you mean by ‘just have an inventory’”

“Believe me, I’m confuse too”

“Do they ‘just have an inventory’ in the place you come from”?

“Okey dude, I’ll explain. Where I come from there is none of the weird magic stuff you have here. I have never saw the weird dogs you have here, I certainly never saw people teleport, and I’m pretty sure I didn’t have an inventory before last night”

“Oh, so you’re from another world”

“I’m sorry, what? I think your language ability slipped there”

Tolverstov smiled. “I’m sorry, but you’re in a different world”

Nathaniel tried to jump out of the bed but regret it immediately, there was a drum player in his head that became very enthusiast the moment he moved too fast.

A memory popped into his mind.

“Can I get some water”? he asked tolverstov

“Oh, of cores”

Tolverstov left the room to bring him water, and Nathaniel closed his sore eyes.

“What do the snail said when he rides the turtle”?

What?

“weeeeeee”

What?

“You told me to tell you a joke when you sober”

Oh, so that was a joke?

“yes”

You know what Siri

“what”?

Fuck you

“What did I do”?

Never mind

“Then stope cursing me”

What did you learn when I was a sleep?

“That you snore like a donkey”

Anything important?

“I will tell you after you apologies to me”

About what?

“About cursing me”

Okey, I apologies

“I thought that would feel better, why do I just feel stupid? It is not fair”

Welcome to life

“Thank you”

Now, can you tell me what you learned when I slept?

“Okey. You are in a small city called nowhere, and…”

Wait, it’s called nowhere?

“yes”

that’s weird

“I agree. There is a cult called the dalahar cult, they are trying to attack the area. The forces here can not stop them, so they are waiting to reinforcement from the global military”

The guy in the closet room called the weird dogs dalahar dog”

“You are correct. And that guy name is Jenifery by the way”

Of cores it is

Nathaniel opened his eyes.

Quest: unknown location.

Objective: find your location.

Objective complete.

Reward: green level powder

10 points

Total 21 points

Oh

Tolverstov returned with a glass of water.

Nathaniel took two painkillers from his inventory and swallowed it with the water.

“What is this”? Tolverstov asked

“it’s for my headache”

“interesting”

Tolverstov sat down on the only chair in the room.

“look Nathaniel, in this world, every child knows about abilities and magic tools. Not the high level tool you have, but simple tools. In order to start and progress the ability levels, you need to complete magic circles, that’s complicated so I won’t explain it right now.”

“Is it like completing a mission for magic”?

“Not exactly, as I said, it’s complicated”

“So how did I end up here”?

“I don’t know. But I have an idea, lets go to eat something and I’ll explain to you everything wants to know”

“Sounds great”
