A huge whale like creature with shark teeth, turtle shell like skin, and spikes coming from all around its body was swimming fast towards Oliver traying to crush him flat, at the last moment however he dodged, the whale couldn’t turn and crashed into underwater rocks breaking it apart like they were made of biscuits, in that moment Oliver got behind its back, slashing with his halberd but the moment it hit, Oliver felt like he had hit a bulldozer, with a steal pipe, his hands shook and he immediately backed away before the giant beast took out its humongous body from the rubbles of the broken rocks, it looked at Olive with anger in its eyes, this fly was fighting him, creature not even one/tent its size, but what was making it even more annoying was that it didn’t seem to able to get rid of it.
The Washer let ought an angry roar but Oliver just smiled in response, not a trace of fear could be seen in his expression, but for what it was worth this fight was difficult for him, the whale once again charged towards Oliver this time however the spikes on his back shot like water torpedoes towards him, Oliver moved sideways and dodged the spikes but he couldn’t balance himself in the water well and took direct hit from the mountain sized creature, feeling that it finally hit the fly the Washer charged towards a huge rock smiling, he was going to crush this pest.
Oliver tried to regain his position but couldn’t, the whale was too fast and the water was pressing him against the head, but he only smiled wider, after all he finally started feeling excitement, he moved the circular swords from his feet to his side, until now he was using them like rotation disc which allowed him to deal with this sea mountain speed underwater, after all he was human not a fish, even if he was saint it was obvious who had the advantage in the water, so he was using those discs like a motor of a submarine allowing him to contest with this creatures speed, otherwise even he would have been crushed long ago, skill could make up only so much the difference in size, he also didn’t have much fighting experience fighting something so much bigger than himself, and to top it off he was trying to improve the control over his weapons, but that was what made it exiting, there was a chance that he could lose but it wasn’t bigger and 70 procent, which for Oliver was enough, if it was around 90 he wouldn’t have tried to fight this creature at all, but for his purpose this was a perfect opponent.
Oliver ”COME AT ME,YOU FUTURE FRIED FISH”
The Washer couldn’t understand what the fly was saying but could feel it was something rude so it gave a terrifying screech as a response, and once again charged towards Oliver.
Few days earlier.
After leaving the kingdom palace they found where to stay and the moment they entered the room Oliver went directly to sleep, as a person whit a lot of fighting experience he had his priorities straight, he was fed and in a safe space so the only thing left was sleep, Flood knew how tired he was so she didn’t say a thing and just when to bed as well, it was one bedroom with two beds, but it was extremely luxurious and expensive.
After they woke up they went to a restaurant, on the way almost all males and even some females gave Flood a lustful looks, after arriving they sat on a table, ordered food and started to discuss what they would do next.
Oliver “I don’t mind sharing a room for a night but I think its better if we have separate ones”
Flood[we don’t really have the money, the King gave us fewer than I thought, just the room yesterday and not small part of them is gone, so with our current finances we can stay at here for max twenty days unless we do something about it]
”well If that is the case, how about we change the room with one with only one bed, we will save money as well” Oliver said with a certain thought in mind, smiling with a playful gaze.
The goddess however didn’t respond the way Oliver wanted.
Flood[that wont change the root of the problem, if we want to travel we cant be depended on the king either]
While they talked the food had arrived and they started eating.
Oliver let go of his intent for now and started to try to think of a solution, but there was a problem, the same problem which he had since he had arrived, they knew too little for the current world, but he was sure that there was still something he could do, he had read fantasy novels as well so he asked something that he knew every new world in isekais had as a profession.
Oliver ”How about we work as adventurers”
Flood gave him questioning gaze.
Oliver was surprised.
Oliver”WHAT, you don’t know what adventurers are, didn’t you say you liked to read books and fantasy stories, even I who barely read know about them”
Flood was even more confused now.
Flood[I don’t know what adventurers are, but I do know about explorers, in the fantasy novels they are the people who explore the new world, and use it as way to make money, are adventurers something similar]

Oliver let ought a sight, he was happy when he found out Flood liked fantasy stories cause he haven’t red many books but a few of them were isekay, which he had thought were interesting mainly for the monsters in them, Demon Lords, Dragons , mystical creatures, his world didn’t have those, he always imagined how exciting it must be fighting them, that’s why he had accepted Flood deal immediately in the first place, and later when he found out she liked stuff like that, he thought about using it to his advantage but he had forgotten about one very important fact, different worlds meant different literature as well, the things which were fantasy in his world were real here, so he couldn’t even imagine what was fantasy here, there was even a God sitting in front of him, there was also other reason why he liked fantasy stories as well, but that didn’t matter now.
Olive” yes they are, it doesn’t matter, is there something similar like this here, that way we would not only earnt money, but I can fight strong things as well, and if it can help us in our travel it would be with one stone not two, but three birds…do you know what this saying means ”
Flood[not really, but I thing I get what you are traying to say, but I cant answer that, don’t forget we basically have the same amount of information]
They finished eating and went looking for the thing they need the most, information ,they walked around the city, but to no avail, so they decided to do the only logical thing they could think of, ask the King, luckily they had the seal he had given them, they didn’t want to use it so soon but they couldn’t help it, nobody they asked knew about any bookstores, or libraries.
The King welcomed them warmly once again.
King “Welcome o mightiest of Gods, how can I be of assistance”
Oliver “King, the God was touched by your story the previous day and wanted to learn more about the history of this kingdom after she left and the people who had important roles in it so that she can give the blessings to worthy people”
The king was touched and immediately led them to the Royal library not only history but many kinds of knowledge was inside, Flood told them to leave her alone and both exited, the King wasn’t worried, every book in here had copies made in case of emergencies, and even if there werent he wouldn’t dare to defy her when they were in such good terms, he didn’t want risking displeasing her.
Oliver sat with the kind in another room and decided he would have a chat with him while they waited, Flood had her way of getting information and he had his.
Oliver “King I was wondering, are there any professions which can help me train and gain more fighting experience”
King gave him a confused look ”Why would you need that, you are already plenty strong just by becoming a saint”
Oliver shook his head “I just feel that I need to be more worthy of our God ”
King smiled benevolently ”Do not worry my friend, few can be worthy of being a saint, especially to our merciful and might god ”
{yea, none of which are humans, and I am not one of them as well}Oliver knew about the meaning behind the Kings words but he didn’t care at all, other opinions werent his problem, and if they were to become, he wasn’t afraid of crushing the people to which they belonged.
’That is true, but I still want to improve myself, I am sure that wise King like yourself would know of a ways right ”Oliver wasn’t above using compliments to get what he wants, in certain aspects that was even his specialty.
Receiving that reply the king thought for a few seconds.
King”If its about fighting, with your strength there shouldn’t be a shortage of jobs, for example bodyguards, peace keeper, punisher, bounty hunter, are there some specific requirements you want to add”
Oliver wasn’t surprised about the large variety of jobs, even If he didn’t know what some of them meant he knew that as long as one had good body and fighting power he would be able to at least find a job, no matter what kind of world he is in.
Oliver ”well, I want some which would let me be with my God a lot, and at the same time let me face wide variety of opponents”
King ”well both of those are difficult requirements to be met, so I am sorry but I can think of only hunter, if you wanted me to give you another one I will disappoint you’
Oliver “well it looks like this is really the only one that fits”
King “yes I am sorry, I know you might have asked me cause you hoped for a better one because this one is extremely dangerous, but I don’t know of another one that fits”
Oliver let ought a deep breath, which was completely fake of course ”well I guessed that might be the case, can you get someone to guide me to where I can register, also don’t worry about Flood she would be in the library for quite some time ”
Oliver was currently bullshitting, he was looking about the most common job which met his requirements, but that had one problem, if someone asked him why he doesn’t know of it, he couldn’t give any answer, he couldn’t make up a fake town cause it would be obvious, and it would also be strange if they didn’t know basic information, it would lead to questions which would be bad.
King “are you sure it wouldn’t be better if you wait for your God first, if she comes out while you are not here it might be a problem”
Oliver convinced the King it wouldn’t take long and the latter seeing that it couldn’t change his mind called for one of his guards and sent them on their way, he was a little surprised that Oliver already wasn’t a hunter but he wasnt surprised about him not knowing where the building was.
The guard led Oliver to a building which looked to be like and old cowboy bar with the words “Hunter Sea Branch” on the top of the door, it had obvious contrast with the buildings around it, the moment he went inside he saw all kinds of people, some were looking like seasoned warriors, other like noobs, some were crying for a dead comrade, and some were drinking and laughing, they were many different species, the moment these people saw the king guard they all made path for Oliver, he felt a familiar feeing coming from this place, he could even smell a bit of blood in the air, a lot of gazes with many different intentions landed on him, Oliver just made provocative smile, the meaning of which was clear to most people here{come at me, if you want a fight you will get one}, seeing this most of the gazes averted and continued doing what they did before Oliver came, the guard led Oliver to a special room, the attendants here asked them to wait and after a few seconds an old man with a short beard and a few prostatic limbs walked in, seeing him Olive immediately knew, this guy was strong, which made him even more exited, this was exactly like in the novels he had red back home, this situation was extremely cliched but being in it truly made you feel something special.
The guard bowed slightly.
Guard ”Soldier greets the Master Of Arms”
The old man just waved his hand, signaling he didn’t care about boot liking.
Gisha ”I am quite bussy, why has the King send you”
The Guard didn’t dare to be disrespectful to the person in front of him.
Guard “I have come to bring… ”
“I accept him” Gisha interrupted the guard and threw an item towards Oliver, the latter caught it perfectly.
Gisha was impressed by Oliver reflexes.
Gisha”not bad kid, your first mission is to bring me something that would allow you to keep that, you have a week”
After saying this the old man left.
Oliver gave a look at the Guards mouth which looked like it would hit the floor and smiled {exactly like in fantasy novels}.
Oliver couldn’t help but think that, right now he felt exactly like a protagonist in an isekay from his world, which was approved by an extremely strong person making the people around him look in a surprise, and the feeling felt awesome, he thought he really made the right choice by coming here, he wasn’t too much into Fantasy books, but he really liked the normal here.
