As Fraus got closer to the sound that came from the other side of the trees, he noticed a cave just on the other side of a little lake.
Fraus took a deep breath and thought.
This "lake" is called "Blue Bird Lake" and is the lake people are using to catch fish."
Fraus started to think that many things do not make sense. Why are Ratmans living inside of a cave close to "Blue Bird Lake", which is the closest place to where most of the humans living in and most of the powerful humans controlling the whole empire?
As Fraus was watching, he noticed that the number of "Ratman" was large. More than 100 Ratman had already entered and left the "Cave". This is not a good thing.
Fraus nodded and stopped his hunting and just started running towards the city.
- Day 1 – 8 PM
Fraus had already come to the city and started talking to the guards of Blue Bird City.
Guards are people with some power, and they are usually stronger than "Candle Level Starsign Users" due to their physical strength and experience.
After they listened to Fraus, and he was talking about the "Ratman", a middle-aged man came out of his house, wearing plain clothes. This man was second-in-command of all the guards of Blue Bird City.
He is so important to ordinary people that they couldn't talk to him most of the time.
The reason that Fraus can talk to him was pretty simple. First, "Fraus" was wearing the clothes of "Dream Sword Art" and second, it was clear from the energy he is radiating that he is a "Candle Starsign User."
These two reasons were enough for him to get attention and have a chance to talk with the "Second-In Command Of The City."
After that, a middle-aged man saw the guards talking with a man. He asked the man who was walking alongside him.
Is that him, who spoke about "Ratman"?
The man who was walking with the second-in command nodded and did not say anything.
-
Fraus looked at the man who was coming towards himself and took a light breath. He easily noticed that this man and the man who was walking with him were not ordinary just from the demeanor they had.
Unauthorized tale usage: if you spot this story on Amazon, report the violation.
At that time, the second-in-command came and started talking.
"Hi, mister. I am Giras, the second-in command of the Blue Bird City, and this man who is walking with me is "Larios," the "captain of the guards" just beneath me. Could you give your information to me please?"
He nodded and starts telling them about the things he saw and showed them the tail of the "Ratman" he killed in the forest as evidence of the truth in his swords.
After seeing the tail of the Ratman, Giras and Larios looked at each other, and Giras started talking after looking at the "Fraus."
"Thank you for this valuable information. I will tell guards to pay you for it in about two to three days. Come to my office if you need a job. I could very well find a good job for a "Starsign User" like you."
Fraus nodded and at that time, Larios and Giras had already left the scene with other guards, and one of the guards gave him "Ten Silver Coins."
Fraus took the coins and smiled.
-
"The telling them about the "Ratman" is a good thing, risking my life to kill all those "Ratman" is not worth it"
Fraus thought, he knew that with 10 silver coins he have a good starting point and do not need to work doing mundane things, because of that he went to his "Inn Room"
-
After Fraus entered the room he took a deep breath and conjured Geminis 1 and 2, he named them like that for the time being.
"Geminis 1"
"Geminis 2"
After Fraus conjured them, he said them to just slash with the sword.
After the order from the Fraus, Geminis 1 and Geminis 2 started to working out, slashing with their swords, practicing.
This kind of practice help to power and familiarty of the "Fraus" increase even further, Even when he was sleeping Geminis 1 and Geminis 2, hunt, train or do everything but still the one who is going to get experience from the it is "Fraus", of course this make them strong too. But in the end Fraus knew how to use his ability to open a different kind of things for the himself.
The Geminis 1 and 2 was still slashing and practicing the swords, in the room,
Fraus alreay got down on the tavern and ordered food and drink, thinking about the two things he encountered in just one day that he was in the city.
"First thing is knowing about the "Cursed Graveyard" and "Undead Walkers, and the other thing is discovering the "Ratman" and "Ratman Cave" just at the side of the Blue Bird City"
Fraus thinks that many things are changing, but he did not know how to name it.
At that time he unconjured the "Geminis 1 and 2" and felt a little bit experience inside of his mind, but this was not the only thing.
The status of himself opened directly and showed him information.
"Fraus Deephearth"
"Level – Candle
"Starsign Energy – 2.0"
"STR" = 1.3
"Agility" = 1.2
"Endurance = 1.2
"Starsign = "Gemini"
"Pathway"
"Original Gemini – Ability 1"
-

-
Geminis – "2" (Copy)
- Skills –
Basic Swordmanship – Level 0 (%5)

Fraus nodded as he saw the status,
"This is directly like a "game"
Fraus understood that, he started to think, if he could increase his and his "Geminis Power" like that, why not set a "Geminis 1" on the outside and just let him work.
That is because he was still new to all the things, he only had his power for about 5 hours, and he thought that after learning a "Sword-Art" from the "Dream Sword Art", he will use his ability to "Train" the ability.
As Fraus was thinking the bartender woman came with the foods and drinks he ordered and spoke.
"My name is Lilis, by the way, so you are connected with the "Dream Sword Art"
Fraus looked at the woman and laughed a little and answered.
"Yeah, I am just joined them for improving my capabilities, thank you"
Lilis, nodded and spoke.
"I know many students from the "Dream Sword Art" that left the school after the first month, If you are still here after one month, I may thought making you a discount"
Fraus nodded and then spoke after taking a sip from his beer.
"I dont think so,"
Lilis put her hand to the table and spoke with a smile.
"Why is that"
Fraus then took a sip again and spoke.
"Most likely I am going to buy myself a house in the end of first month"
Lilis just shook her head and then went towards to kitchen to work.
As Lilis left himself alone, Fraus started eating his food.
