Decisions

I ran as fast as I could for twenty minutes until finally I collapsed in a dark alleyway, I was in trouble I had no knowledge of this world and no means of making money as well as half the cities guards after me for the crime of offending that fat pig of a king.

Snorting out loud I started to think about everything I had learned, firstly I was in another world with no way home, secondly there is magic in this world, thirdly demons were also real and finally this world is incredibly sexist. Sighing I sat down on the floor and considered my options. 

First of all I'd need a disguise to elude the guards, sighing heavily I lifted the dagger I had taken from the king and cut off my hair to slightly shorter than a bob. Staring at my reflection in a nearby puddle on the ground my flat chest and young face made me look like a sixteen year old boy rather than an eighteen year old girl, picking up the dagger, I used the cover of darkness to run to a nearby forest where I climbed a tree and settled down for the night hoping for some good sleep. 

The next morning I awoke to the sound of growling, looking down below me at the bottom of the tree I could see a dark red wild dog with flames at its feet, gasping for a minute I tried to comprehend what this means, that there were monsters in this world as well. 

Thinking about my options I decided there was only one course of action, to get down I would have to deal with the dog. I'm not quite sure how my magic works but if I visualise the magic as sound waves it might work, I opened my mouth and have a piercing whistle. 

Suddenly the dog dropped to the ground crying in pain, not wasting the opportunity I jumped down qnd took out the King's dagger before quickly slitting the throat of the dog. It was a shock for a minute all I could do was sit and stare at the death I had caused, if this was in my old world my actions would be completely unacceptable but here death would be necessary for me to live. 

Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.

Swallowing my discomfort I chopped up the dog and ate the raw meat. It burned. As soon as I swallowed the meat the pain coursed through me violently, clutching my sides I fell to the ground wondering if I had made a huge mistake, unable to take the king pain I screamed out huge sound waves and as birds fell to the ground around me I lost consciousnes.

Waking up again around what I judged to be mid day I immediately felt hungry, I once again turned to the dog meat, now my body was used to it, it should be fine right? Well anyway it was better than starving to death. Hesitantly I opened my mouth and swallowed the meat pleasantly surprised with the taste, now I had regained my strength it was time to get a job to make some money. 

As I walked into town I surveyed all the buildings image across looking for one that might offer a decent job when finally I found one, an adventurers guild. From what I could tell due to listening in on others conversation the adventurers guild was a place where you would get money for killing monsters or taking on requests, judging by this I could use my new magic to kill monsters and earn some money. 

Making my decision I walked into the guild. As soon as I stepped in all eyes were on me as I quickly walked up to the counter at the centre of the hall "I would like to register as an adventurer please." the young man in front of me stared at me in shock "you can if you want but its a dangerous job and weaklings will most likely die." 

Shrugging my shoulders I told the guy I didn't care, the guy just sighed it seems he was used to newbie adventurers running out to go on there first request only to die at the first attempt, "come with me and you can take the guilds test, if you pass you can join if you fail you'll be forbidden from taking the test for another year." nodding my head I followed the man into a large spacious room. Let the test begin.
