Chapter 1

“Please do you of any information where I can find them”

“Lad like I said, I don’t even know what you’re talking about. Now unless you’re asking to fill the spare job this will be the end of it”

“No sorry, I already went to the adventures guild and have a quest to pick some green plants, thank you for you time”

I (Jake) gave up with this final person in front of his store the sea delights and walked away will looking at the shore to the left of me. Three days ago, I was out of my mind with worry suddenly finding myself in the middle of some medieval costal town with a letter in my hands. Among other things it said to find the deep-water shrimp for it would bring the power I would need. Issue is No one even knows what they are, nothing is caught in deep water.

Here I am, have not even eaten a shrimp in my life but sold it all last summer for my family small business. What kind of trick is this? Just because I sold something before gives me no experience actually trying to get it myself. I kicked the rock in front of me just as I walked out of the town gate noticing the two guards that stood there.

“Henry, John, how’s it gate holding up?”

“Same as Ever” Henry said bored as ever

“You find that shrimp that does not exist yet?” John joked

Since he had asked that same question in some from most of the times I walked past my only response by now was just to wave him off and continue on my way. That’s not the say this place was empty, in fact hundreds of people lived behind the walls. Even for me without any money the church offers the homeless a roof to sleep under and cloths in exchange for working odd jobs.

“For the church of Revan!”

Pulling out my sword that is also on loan from the church I strike a pose like He man. In response from the back a number of people started to laugh at me while clapping.

Quickly noticing the scene I just made, I put back my sword after the second attempt on my waist and increasing the pace of my feet the town of Trident grew smaller.

Okay I just got to pick more than ten then money can actually start flowing into my pocket. The assignment called for ten but any more could be sold for a copper each at least that’s what Hela the priest in charge of people like me told me.

The wind picked up slightly and a slight chill could be felt even if it was close to mid-day. Rubbing my arms down I went over what I knew about shrimp.

* Deep water shrimp is in deep water

* Nobody knows what I am talking about

* With point two that means I have to get the supplies together to farm these myself

* They are in over 1,000+ feet of water if it’s the same as my world

* My experience amounts to watching the deadliest catch

Alright it’s fair to admit thing could not be much worse but since god itself told me to do this is must be possible here.

After an hour walk I got to the field which matched the badly drawn picture that a child named Tom gave me in exchange for giving him one “For a super secret reason” as Tom said. The plant look like a small leaf with reed veins through it on top of a long stem.

Look at that… Here we go. pulling out my sword I looked at the hill top and noticed a rabbit with a small horn eating one of the plants. I was frozen as soon as I saw it the question of how to approach it stuck in my mind.

Do I run at it or tip toe? O jeez talk about screwing up right when the finish line is right in front of me. Unable to decide what to do I just stood there with my sword drawn acting like someone froze me.

This lasted just long enough for the horned rabbit to finish eating and turn to find more. When it saw me, it jerked back like I tried to scare it to death and given it was a size of a cat it actually did a back flip.

Screaming scared myself I ran at it with all the power a Lv 1 with all 10 stats could muster. Even surprised it completely dodged my attack and knocked into my leg.

Off flying went my glasses and in comes a face full of dirt but I don’t give up and try to watch the rabbit while it circles the me laying on the ground. It strikes again this time the horn manages to put a small hole into my left arm.

Clearly, I am useless so it’s time to make it as easy as possible on myself

Getting on my knees I drop my sword next to me and spread my arms wide to dare it to attack and to no surprise it does. To someone watching it would probably look like I am in the middling of having a stroke with my arms opening as wide as possible one moment and shut the next because I can’t decide what’s worse.

Fully charging ahead the Horned Rabbit lv 1 crashes into me as I twist my chest so it does not pierce my heart. We roll over and over as it tried to break free and I try to roll back over to my sword

Stop it! Just die! Finally, able to reach my sword of grip with my good arm and drive it right through the side of the Horned Rabbit killing it.

Coughing up a storm I slowly make my way up standing and pull my sword free. Not caring at this point if any more are around I begin the process of picking the plants and putting them in a small bag picking up a total of 15 and a Horned Rabbit body. Ripping up my sleeve to wrap the small hole in my arm the walk back to the gate was even longer then before.

This time when I got to the gate I made sure to try and hide myself from both of the guards, right now my spirit just can’t take another beating.

“You have my herb Mr. Jake!” Tom yelled from behind me

After almost dying form a rabbit and hiding in shame from guards I snapped, quacking reaching into my pouch and through it square into his head.

Okay that felt good let’s get patched up by the beauty that is Hela.

[Back on Earth]

“My name is Joann with CNN right now I am on the streets of New York City and all around me as you can see riots have broken out after watching Jake nearly die at the hands of some strange rabbit.”

“Joann what are the people saying?”

“They really expect more from him, a lot of their anger is coming out over how he handled the fight”

“Thanks for telling us Joann we hope to hear from you later. This is Brad Smith with CNN and as you saw and what most likely is happening to everyone is the struggle to understand our new world. Three days ago, we were told by a voice the world rested on the shoulders of one man and if he died or failed to defeat the Demon King our world would die along with him. All the nuclear weapons of this planet have disappeared and all the militaries of the world are in the streets trying to keep order. In the end we can only wait and watch as one man holds he fate of the entire human race”
