Jim Casy POV (The CIA dude from the last chapter)
It has been a week since I arrived in this strange new world filled with all sorts of mysteries and magic.
I am currently traveling with a wandering merchant that I was able meet by chance.
*Flashback* (One week ago)
'Where the hell am I?'
As I looked around I saw that the scenery was completely different from the alley where I was chasing the drug dealer. I wondered if I was dreaming and pinched myself. I felt the pain and realized that I was not dreaming or drugged up.
I was very disoriented. My surroundings told me that I was currently in some sort of forest with many different kinds of wild plants.
I decided to wander around to figure out how I got here.
Suddenly I heard a scream from a man and I rushed over to the direction of the noise.
To my surprise I saw people wearing some sort of medieval clothing and they looked like peasants from the look of it. There were about 10 of them and they were carrying swords and there was a middle aged man with a potbelly that was lying on the ground looking at the group of men in fear.
'What the hell?' I thought. I couldn't just walk away from this mugging and stepped forward to protect the man. I took the gun out from the holster and yelled, "Freeze! Put your hands down and drop your weapons!"
"Eh? Who da hell ah yew? Playing hero eh? Get em lands!"-Bandit Leader
The group of poorly dressed men brandished their rusty swords and came at me. Without hesitation I shot my Berreta 92 and quickly shot three bullets straight in the heads of 3 bandits and they fell dead. I saw some weird window pop up but I ignored it and look cautiously at the bandits.
The leader of the group panicked and he ordered a retreat.
I went up to the man that was laying on the ground in finely dressed clothes and asked him if he was alright.
"Thank you very much stranger. I was about to get robbed by those bandits. How could I ever repay you?"-Random dude
Since I knew nothing of my current situation I just asked him where the nearest town was. He told me that it was a week away on foot and since he was headed in the same direction he offered to take me with him.
He was curious about my strange clothes and I simply told him that I was from a different land. At first I thought these guys were just cosplaying or something but then I realized that I was in a completely different world which creeped me out.
I needed to find a way back home to my family.
It took about 6 days to reach the nearest town and during that time I learned a lot about the world I was in by asking questions to the man that I had saved. His names was Septimus Barrows and he was a wandering merchant that sold different kinds of goods around different towns. He worked for the Brendall Organization, which was owned by the Brendall Clan. They were one of the top three trading companies in the entire continent and they held a large amount of economic and political power.
Luckily he gave me a new change of clothes so that I wouldn't stand out in the crowd. He was a friendly fellow and I grew to like him.
He told me that the area we are currently in is ruled by many different lords that squable frequently over land.
He told me that because of my strength I would definitely be hired by the lord as a soldier, but I said I would think about it. He showed me a map and pointed at the area we were at. I saw that there were dozens of different towns that were each ruled by a different lord. Septimus told me that in the east there was the Xian Empire who has great martial artists that are said to be immensely powerful, and to the west there is elves where they reside in the Great Forest. In the north are the dwarves in their mountains.

I found out that the east was basically an asianic empire kinda like the Chinese. I wondered if they were the same and wanted to visit them. But I reminded myself not to get too caught up because I had to focus on getting back home. I looked at the map and saw that the Xian Empire was about half the size of China which was about 1/4 the size of the continent we were on.
Septimus told me many stories about great wizards and heroes and I was like a little child again listening to theses fascinating stories.
I was interested in the elves and dwarves and wanted to meet one.
I remembered about the window that popped up and it said that I had leveled up. I had no idea what that was about so I asked Septimus. He looked at me as if I was crazy but went on to explain that the in this world you could level up and get stronger but it was really difficult to do so.
I wondered about my status and opened my status window.
Status
Name: Jim Casy
Race: Human
Class: N/A
Level: 3
Vitality: 52
Strength: 15
Agility: 12
Dexterity: 19
Intelligence: 11
Unassigned points: 8
I was shocked at what I saw. Septimus told me that the average vitality was 30. I had over 50.
'Hehe I must be a super human or something.'
He also explained to me that vitality was like your stamina and your health. Vitality was also used to cast magic. The idea of magic really interested me and I asked for more information but he told me to search out the Mage Guild in the town because he didn't really have that much information about magic.
I figured if I learned magic I could find out a way to go back home.
I didn't know what to do with my unused stat points so I just left them there.
After we reached the city Septimus gave me 500 zins as thanks for thanking him. After we shook hands we parted ways.
I learned from Septimus about the currency system of this world. Zins are the basic form of currency. An average family can live off of 30 zins a week. I talked to some people and was about to find out the general location of the Mage guild.
With grim determination I stepped into the Mage Guild.
Jericho POV (the zombie dude)
I clicked yes on the screen and I blacked out.
When I woke up I saw the my body was no longer rotting and that I my skin was very pale. The sunlight irritated my skin a bit but it didn't do permanent damage.
I wanted to try out my new body so I went to train.
