Oh my god! I’m going to kill myself.

After that night I stayed in the library for a week (in-game), reading nonstop and while I was reading I kept the books floating around me to practice my telekinesis. During that week I resolved myself to stop caring about being one of the top players and only focus on having fun while I didn’t to attending to a university.

I also talked with my best friend… That bitch!

She laughed at me when I told her I was still only level 1 one. So I promised myself that the first time I saw her I would beat her to a pulp. After all she is only going to feel about 30% of the beating and this is a game.

Anyway. At first I was progressing really slowly with my training, but once my fast reader ability started to level up I quickened my pace and by the end of the week I had read half of the books in there and got myself around +20 intelligence and +14 wisdom. In my stay there I also managed to level up my cooking for a bit and got friendly with the people that occasionally showed up. They were all from the poor part of the city.

Apparently Lucy rented books for free to those people, she even went to their district once a week to teach the kids there how to read and do simple math. They knew she was a demon and didn’t mind since she has been their patron for a long, loooooooooong time. That was the reason of why she had so many acquaintances to introduce the newcomer demons to. She had been friend to many of the local workers since they all were children.

At the end of the week, once I tough I had gotten enough stats I decided to leave to go hunting so that I could (officially) take the quest to raid the bandits hideout but Lucy insisted that I went to the commoners district to see if could help them with anything, so I went there. I left really soon as the sun was rising so that I could go there unnoticed by the bandits that had been looking for me. I put my hood on and slipped through the city darkest corners to get there.

When I got there, people were already up and doing their daily chores, like hanging their clean clothes,

Feeding their chickens (they were everywhere, Lucy told me about them earlier, apparently everyone raised them together there and because of that they were set free inside the district) and the man were going out to hunt.

As I got there I approached an old lady that was sitting in front of her house knitting something and said:

Hello!

And since I was hiding myself five seconds ago, she got a big scare and fell from her chair swearing and screamed at me:

Don’t scare people like that girl. I’m old! I could have died! Stop staring at me and help me get back on my chair.

To her surprise, I just stood there and while she looked me with an annoyed expression I started to levitate her back in to her chair. After that with a startled face she took a good look at my face and said:

I’m not even going to ask how you did that seeing your race, I assume Lucy sent you here?

Emily – Yes, she told me to come here to see if you guys need any help.

Old Lady – Not really. Unless you can get us some warm clothes to the winter there’s nothing much you can do.

Emily – I can help with that! You see, I’m a tailor and I’m going to go hunting to get some levels and I could make some clothes to you with the leather from the monsters.

Old Lady – Can you really do it? You don’t seem strong enough to kill a single rabbit, let alone something big enough to be able to produce actual clothes with their leather.

Emily – Even after I lifted you from the ground without touching you, you still doubt that I’m strong enough?

Old Lady – Hum… Okay, I’ll take your words for true.

You have been offered a quest!Quest Rank:FThe old Matriarch has asked you to bring warm clothes for the winter. Most people that live here can buy themselves warm clothes, but there are some really poor families around that can’t and it’s now your mission to help them.Do you accept?YesNo

Emily – I’ll do it, but first, can you help me with something?

Old Lady – Sure, what can I do for you?

Emily – I don’t have any weapons on me and neither money to buy one. Can you give me something like a sword? Even a kitchen knife would do.

Old Lady – No problem, I have an old sword from my diseased husband, let me get it for you.

With that she went inside and came back with a rusty old sword.

Emily – Tank you.

Old Lady – No problem, at least it’s going to be useful once again.

I told her I would probably come back after a few days and went on my way.

I took a quick look at the sword and then used magical repair on it when I was outside of anybody’s sights. It turned it was an actually good sword for a beginner. If you still don’t understand why asked for it, just imagine me hunting with my telekinesis. At my level controlling living things was hard, so every movement takes too much mana for me to do and my wisdom isn’t high enough for me to be precise enough to break one thing at a time, so I would basically have to lift the poor creatures and slam them in the ground as hard as I could, but doing that I would lose too much mana and would have to meditate between every combat. Thus, thinking of how I killed the bandits I figured out I could repeat the same action to kill other things. And that’s the reason of why I asked for a sword.

After I repaired the sword I walked to the gates, but as I was trying to leave, the guards stopped me and then said:

You can only leave after a month honey. Try it again when your time in the city is done.

Emily – And that would be in…

Guard – Two weeks

Emily – But I already left the city once when a… Acquaintance? Took me to her house.

Guard – You could only leave because you were with her and after your business was done she probably had to take you back, right?

Emily – Riiight… Okay then. Bye

Guard – Bye Missy!

That Whore! Rou tricked me into coming back to the city. And to think my freedom was so close. But how those motherfuckers could get such high levels without leaving the city?

Fuck them, what am I going to do now? The bandits are still after me, but I don’t want to kill them and loose the extra money and experience from the quest! (sobs)

Also, I don’t think I can kill them at their hideout right now, the ones I killed were probably low level tugs but the ones in their base should have higher levels.

I also don’t want to read more. I like reading, but there’s a limit.

I decided to go back to the library to ask for what to do to Lucy.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

I entered the library crying out loud for Lucy and she came to me:

Lucy – Weren’t you going out to hunt?

Emily – I was, but the guards said I had to wait for 2 more weeks to leave the city. What am I going to do now?

Lucy – You could practice your craft while you can’t leave. By doing that not only you’re going to level up your skills you can also make some money.

Emily – But I don’t have material to craft anything.

Lucy – Hmmmm… I can get you a job with a friend of mine.

Emily – In a tailor shop?

Lucy – No, he is a hunter, but with my help he might be willing to make a deal with you so that you can use the leather he gets as material. You probably won’t get much from what he manage to sell, but at least it’s something.

Emily – That would be great Lucy!

Lucy – I knew you would like it. Let me grab my pouch and let’s go.

After she got her pouch, she locked the library and we walked all the way there. He lived in a house at the commoners’ district, I even got to see the old lady again and apologize to her since it would take me some time to deliver the clothes she asked for. As I was about to go away, Lucy, who was talking with a woman across the street, came over to us and said:

How you doing Julia?

Emily – Julia?

Old Lady – Yes, Julia is my name.

Lucy – It seems you already met my friend Emily.

Julia – Yes! She offered her help earlier and was just apologizing for not being able to do it as soon as she tough she would.

Lucy – What did she promised to do?

Julia – She said she would go hunting and would give me some warm clothes for the winter.

Lucy – Oh, about that, it seems it won’t be necessary anymore.

Emily – Why?!

Lucy – Because, the man I’m going to introduce you to is Julia’s son and since you’re going to make clothes with what he hunts, you won’t need to bring any more clothes.

Your quest has been updated, you now need to make clothes using the materials Julia’s son is going to give you

Emily – Okay.

Lucy – Julia, is you son here?

Julia – He is hunting right now, he should come back as the sun set. But there are some pelts inside, Emily could start working now if she wants to and I can talk about it later with John.

Lucy – What do you say Emily.

Emily – I’d love to start now.

Lucy – Then I’m going back home now. See you later Julia, Emily.

Emily – Bye Lucy.

Julia – Now young lady, come inside with me. I’ll show where you’re going work.

Emily – Lead the way.

We got inside her house, it was small, but very comfy and it smelled like old people. She took me to her “ office “ where she kept all her junk, like old furniture, tools, old clothes and things she would sell later, like the leather, but surprisingly it was very organized, nothing seemed out of place and in a corner of the room was a very primitive desk. And she said:

Here is where you’re going to work. The sewing material is in a small wood box. I use it only when my clothes need some repair so I don’t really keep tab on it, you will have to find it yourself. If you need anything just come over and ask me, don’t scream my name or anything like that, please.

Lucy – Sure, no problem.

She left the room and I quickly found the box using my field and started working. She didn’t say what she wanted me to make with them, so I started making some coats and pants. I kept doing them until Julia called me. When I went to her living room I could smell this very masculine scent there and when I looked for the origins of it I saw him. The most sexy and delicious men I had ever seen before, with 1,90m of packed muscles, the perfect face, short black hair and a big boss ass beard. I couldn’t help myself and started blushing.

Julia – Emily, this is my son John, he is the one who is going to give you the leather to use.

John – Hi, my mom explained about your situation and I’m glad to be able to help you.

Emily – Y-Yes, I’m the one… Who should be thanking you!

Oh god! No! Why is he so pretty?! I already have problems being friends with normal boys, but a pretty one? Before today I had never even talked to one!

Now the worse part. He noticed I was blushing simply from looking at him and started blushing as well and then looked away. That was it for me. So as I ran back to the room I said:

I’m going back to work!

And from behind the closed door I could hear Julia laughing from the situation.
