Alone in another world [Chapter 1]

I woke up in another world. After mankind had been saved by angels. I woke up In an alley with different creatures who speak different languages even though I was from another world. I seem to understand what the creatures are saying, I was truly amazed and realized, Where is my family? And for hours I kept finding them. It was useless. I only see creatures and other lost humans like me. So I made up my own theory. there was a downside considering random people being teleported in different kingdoms. Which means to me a 13 year old boy with no family is left alone in an unfamiliar world, But i still walked trying to find my family and then a tall being with horns walked to me. I'm a fantasy fanatic so I know it is a minotaur and he was wearing iron armor and a crest that symbolizes the city i was in. The minotaur carried me with one arm and said what is your name? I said my name is frode, and then he said frode you will be under me. You will work in the barracks, He said. Of Course i refused. Considering me as a spoiled 13 year old boy who wants to see my family. Even though I'm spoiled my parents would physically discipline me so I would know what right thing I would do. But never in my life have I experienced an 8 feet minotaur throw me into a wall and grab my face. Saying i dont have the power to refuse considering I'm an otherworldly brat with no parents. Out of fear I agreed to work in the barracks with little to eat and drink and being treated as trash. I had no choice, the only thing I benefitted was watching swordsmen fighting and training with swords.

A year later, I'm now 14 years old. One year I observed humans have started to grow accustomed to this world to the point that our bodies can use magic, but of course I was one of those people who unluckily did not grow accustomed to magic so I lost hope in learning magic and pursued how to fight using a sword. I saved up money i got by working in the barracks, 20 silver coins and 120 bronze coins i saved enduring, A fucking year of being treated as trash. Thankfully in this world the money system is still the same like it was on earth. I walked to the market and saw a dwarf forging an iron dagger that I was interested in. Talked to him, the dagger was 20 silver coins. I managed to bargain and got the iron dagger for 10 silver coins. He laughed at me, because this was the original price and admitted he doubled the price. He asked me what's your name, boy? Frode is my name. Happy to do business with you frode in a cheerful smile, and the name is bruk buy more weapons here frode i'll assure you i'm not gonna double the price again as we laughed and said farewell. I looked at some stalls and saw one selling clothes bought a full set of leather for 80 bronze coins. This was enough for today, Returning to the barracks as I saw a mercenary beastfolk a lizardman, fighting my 8 foot tall boss the minotaur named guntru. They were evenly matched as their fight ended up in a draw. I'm amazed I got to watch and learned some of their fighting skills. I heard them talking about the "death ring" Where slaves figth for freedom and those who is desperate for money. Only people with connections know where the death ring is located. I want to fight to earn money, to save up and find my family. I walked towards them and asked them to let me participate in the death ring. They laughed at me since they know I don't have experience. To prove them wrong i made a deal if i can survive and kill some creature in the mist forest let me fight in the death ring.(Mist forest is where they hunt, and only veterans survive in this forest because it is known as a carnivorous forest where people venture and don't come back) They agreed and said if you miraculously survive and bring a creature as you said. The both of us will teach some techniques in fighting because our money will be betted on you in the fight. I smiled, In my thoughts finally i can prove myself and maybe find a better job other than cleaning in the barracks. Went towards the hay in the stable with my dagger and new clothes hidden at a place in the stable so I can prepare it for tomorrow and find a creature in the mist forest. I need to hurry. It's already been a year and I'm still not reunited with my family.
