Chapter 1
In a flash of light, Mutai appeared in the town of Kirtlin. He was in the center of town, near a well.
The first thing Mutai noticed was how normal the village felt.
He had heard from a lot of people that the first couple of minutes are normally overwhelming.
"Then again I'm use to living in the city. And my school is fairly crowded."
Mutai decided the first thing he would do was walk around the town.
He stretched then started lightly jogging around town.
After 4 hours of jogging he finally managed to walk around the entire town.
In that time Mutai found the location of a magic items shop, a blacksmith, the alchemist's shop,the militia station,
the market, grocer's shop, and mayor's office.
He also talked to the owner's of every store to find out what goods they normally offered.
After pondering his options, and knowing he was stuck in this town for the next month, he headed to the mayor's office.
"Ah, excuse me?"
Mutai asked the receptionist.
"... Yes? Do you need something?"
"Oh, uhm, I was wondering if you need any help..."
She looked at him
"You're not well known enough to get requests from the mayor."
"Right... actually I just wanted to do something in general. Like delivering stuff."
"! You're willing to run MY errands!"
"Uhhh sure."

"Take this letter to the blacksmiths, this one to the militia station, and this to the alchemist's.

"Yeah, no problem."
With that began Mutai's occupation for the next month.
******
For the next month Mutai ran errands for the mayor's office.
After the first week, he was allowed to get requests from mayor,Jinroe ,himself.
In between running letters, searching through documents, and learning the various rules and reguations of documentation
he also worked for the grocer learning how to bake and stopping by the militia station for some exercise.
In this month he managed to gain the stats endurance and sustenance.

Today, like all the other days, he showed up at the office
"Morning Mary "
"Good morning Mutai."
"Where am I headed today?"
"Actually... Jinroe wants you to deliver some stuff out of town."
"Out of town?"
Mutai's 1 month inside the town was over and it seemed the game *cough* was forcing him to go out and explore the world!
The mayor, hearing Mutai's voice, walked out of his office.
"There you are Mutai! Come in and sit down, I've got a lot of work for you!"
Ugh....
"Yeah... sure."
Mutai walked in and sat down. He almost fainted when he saw the amount of letters on the mayors table.
"So, Mutai, how have you been?"
"? Fine sir."
Jinroe looked into Mutai's eyes closer.
"I've heard you've been spending some time with Johnjohn down at the militia grounds... and also taking the time to helping old lady Kaiylin at the grocery"
"Oh right, I've just been baking a bit and keeping myself exercised."
Where is this going?
"And have you given any thought about your future? Adventures normally want to go out and explore the world, fighting monsters and save princesses."
"To be honest, I really haven't thought that much about it. I'm happy just running these errands..."
".....hmm, interesting....."
Enjoying this book? Seek out the original to ensure the author gets credit.
Jinroe seemed to ponder for a moment. Then he looked at Mutai, a little more intensly than before.
"Ahem! Right then, lets move on to business. I need you to take these letters to the city of Orangones.
Mostly reports about monster activity and letters from the villagers to family. Nothing too serious. However..."
He looked at Mutai even closer.
"You haven't really been training to fight have you?"
Truthfully, Mutai had done no weapon training the entire month. He had been exercising with the militia a bit and gained some stats...
Vitality: +1
Endurance: + 3
Sustainance: + 2
Strength: + 5
Stamina : + 8
Intellect : + 2 (baking)
Dexterity: + 5
... But he didn't really have any combat abilities or combat experience.
"Yeah, I really haven't been training"
"So? What would you do if something attacked you on the way to Orangones?"
"Run away? I'm pretty fast..."
"I've heard *chuckle* ... tell you what, I'll leave these documents in a backpack and give them to Mary.
Go get some more training with the militia and then comeback."

"There will be a letter inside with the names of the recipients. Best of luck..."
"? Uhm sure..."
With that Mutai headed to the militia grounds.
Captain Johnjohn the only one at the grounds that day.
"Morning Mutai, what brings you here?"
"Mayor Jinroe wants me to get some training before I head out of town."
Johnjohn smiled brightly.
"Ahhh heading out on your adventure now?"
"Hmm? No, I'm delivering some letters to Orangones..."
Captain seemed dissapointed.
"I see... well I guess some people need honest jobs. So what kind of training do you need?"
"Not sure. Maybe just some more rigorous exercise methods, some tips about avoids monsters."
"!?! Surely your not saying your going to just walk strait to Orangones?"
"Uhh, yeah, I've not a job to do."
Captain seemed very disappointed.
"Are you sure you don't want any weapon training?"
*narrator used mind control*
"To be honest I don't have much hand-eye co-ordination. The only thing I can trust are my feet."
"Then, why not beat up on the training dummy until you get unarmed mastery? Also, I'll see if I can go get some good greaves from Herkerin.
Then you can get accustomed to those."

Mutai went over to the nearest training dummy and began kicking it. At first he didn't put much effort into it, but before long he began to find the exercise fun.
He moved from low kicks to high kicks for the first hour, then started practising running kicks, jumping kicks, and spinnning kicks. Unsuprisingly, he was actually atrocious at spinnning.
Mutai had never once learned any kind of acrobatics or dancing, so he rarely hit the training dummy when he went for a spinning kick.
He fell flat on his ass when he missed a jumping spinning kick and when he hit a running kick. Needless to say he only practised these kicks for about ten minutes.
Looks like I'll need to ask Captain for some help or look this up later...
Mutai spent another hour practising basic kicks.
Endurance + 2

" Looks like you've been working hard"
Mutai almost jumped, Captain had snuck up right behind him.
"I brought the greaves. Try them out."

These looked pretty good to Mutai. When he tried them on, however, he noticed the fatal flaw of the greaves. Mutai now looked even more like a noob than before.
"Now that think about it, only wearing iron greaves looks really weird."
"Hey Captain, is there anything I can do to get some more armor? or just darker pants?"
Johnjohn stared at Mutai before laughing.
"Hahahaha, yeah, you do look a bit silly. Like a farm boy pretending to be a soldier. Just go down to Jay's place she probably has something in stock.
Fortunately for Mutai, the pants cost 5 coppers, unfortunately they would take a day to prepare. Thus Mutai spent the rest of the day training.
With Captains help Mutai raised his Unarmed Combat Mastery by 1.
"Sorry I could help you with the spinning and jumping kicks, but nobody who uses a weapon has any real reason to do those."
After Mutai collected his pants, he headed of to the city of Orangones.
