4679 year. Triassic.
Getting to the market, I thought about the acquired information and the further plan of action.
In this world, whose name is Trias, many races live, but the most numerous people. Before the year 527 from the creation of this world, they seized dominion over it. But their power was not eternal. In 680, Vl adyka was born in the race of demons. He led his legions against the people. They managed to repulse him and kill the Lord. Still, the losses were huge. Kingdoms were destroyed, there was no talk of the economy at all. The recovery was long. The humans had forgotten about the Demon Lord and were using his name to intimidate the children. They lost vigilance and former unity.
And then, in 1682, a new Demon Lord appeared. It's time for chaos. This time, the human race lost because of their own stupidity. Each kingdom was on its own. There was no talk of alliances. People lived and died under the yoke of demons for 10 years. Everyone has lost hope. But then, as in a fairy tale, the Church appeared. Her High Priest sacrificed himself and summoned a hero from another world. Together with the hero, people were able to win. The hero remained in this world to protect it.
Soon he died, and the Church became the stronghold of humanity. Whatever the state, whoever rules it, the Church has always been above everything. Thus, the third Demon Lord was also defeated by the heroes. The same happened with the fourth. The Church has learned to safely call people from other worlds. And those, in turn, defeated the demons. The people of Trias increasingly trusted the Church.

Now a new cycle is approaching. A new Lord is about to be born. And the Church will again call for heroes. Well, the gods should have told me exactly what I got myself into. The Church is my worst enemy. Holy magic and divine power are destructive to the undead. And now I have to absolutely fight the Church. And how to do it?
Know your enemy - says great wisdom. To win, or at least survive, you need to collect more information. And I began to have a plan ... But then I got to the market.
Kitchen of another world, wait for me. I walked past stalls with vegetables, meat, fruits, etc. My attention was drawn to one counter, from which came a pleasant aroma. Of course, he is far from the restaurants of the Earth, but still this is a different world. The meat of some animal unknown to me on a skewer with spices and spices unknown to me. Too many unknowns. I bought 6 at once and headed to a quiet place to have a quiet lunch. The taste is amazing. Something hot and spicy. The meat itself was very tender. I didn't notice how I had already eaten everything. Who said that the undead have a poor appetite. Although I'm not yet undead.
So. I satisfied my hunger, now to the Adventurers Guild!!! I don't really want to get involved with this. But in this world, along with an A or S adventurer rank, you were given nobility and land titles. And the ranking system itself was quite interesting. If you can complete the task of the rank you need, then you are assigned this rank. You only need to complete a task of your rank once a month. But only up to B rank. Tasks of rank A must be completed once a year, S rank once every two years. There are currently 12 A rank adventurers in the world. The 12 Apostles, as they are called. All serve the Church. That one more splinter.
But there is not a single S rank. Tasks of this rank - Kill the dragon, Protect the whole country and so on. I need at least A rank to fulfill my plan to fight the Church. On the way, I saw a slave market. One could buy one to learn even more about this world from its inhabitant. But in all the stories, the slave girl falls in love with you, and you fall in love with her. And love is weakness. There were so many stories where the heroes had to do so many unpleasant things for the sake of their loved ones. A person who trusts no one, loves no one, and is not attached to anyone is a person without weaknesses. A man without weaknesses is invincible. Love, friendship, faith and hope - this is just a hindrance - this is my motto in life. So I walked past the slaves and headed towards the Adventurer's Guild.
