This place is huge, everything looked straight out of some medieval movie, the cobbled streets, cobblestone houses and winding alley ways, I almost forgot about the fact homeless and alone in a new world.
Soon I reached some type of market square area
“Amazing!”
The streets were filled with countless different people and when I say different best believe I mean different, from humans, elves..that person has cat ears! And that person is a cat!
Is that a giant lizard pulling a carriage, I want one!.
This is what I expected from another world, not just some medieval knights but actual fantasy people?, I can’t think of the word, my mind is racing.
I walked up to one of the vendors grilling some meat
“How’dy ye stranger, would ye like some fine lizard meats” the scraggly looking man in the apron asked me.
“Sure, how much”
“Aye, that’ll be 3 bronze”
Looking in satchel I say a few silver and gold coins but no bronze
“Does a silver work”
“Sure”, he said side eyeing me
Handing me back 9 bronze coins and a grilled lizard on a stick, “ Thank ye fur de business” with a big smile he waved me off
“This tastes delicious”, its sweet, savoury and amazing in everyway
Now what to do now, usually in video games I’d have to look at adventures guilds, I wonder if that is a thing in this world?
I’m getting giddy just thinking about, damn I’m homeless and jobless though, positive vibes, If I break now I’ll never recover
I saw a knight standing guard on the side of the street
“Hhh..hi, is there an adventures guild near here” I stumbled out
“ Ya, two corridors that way and then a left” He sleepily responded with a yawn
“Thanks” I said as I sheepishly walked away
What's wrong with me? My heart skipped a beat as soon as I talked to him, ‘breath, breath’, it’s okay, I’m okay, I’m fine, ya
I’m okay
“Two corridors and one right” okay let's get walking
This place sure if beautiful turning the last right until I say the huge building in front of me, It looked like it was made of glass and gemstones grown from the ground itself, hundreds of people were surrounding it
Stolen novel; please report.
“Looking for a mage!”
“I got healing potions for sale!, one silver piece!”
And similar chants echoed through my ears. This must be it, the adventures guild
“This is getting exhilarating”, time to start my new life as an adventurer, what should I specialise in, maybe a mage but warrior sounds so cool, doesn’t matter, lets get some gear
I took step out of the alleyway, this step was for a new life, one that I would work for, one where I could be happy
5 bludgeoning damage inflicted
The last clear thought I remember was my head meeting the pavement
“Grab him!”
“This is the guy right, the one with the cash?”
“Ya the boss said so”
“Let go of me!” I said punching the air trying to grapple with the huge man currently holding onto me
Punch landed…1…damage
“That hurt ye bloody bastrard” the huge man said as he picked me up and slammed me into the ground
10 damage inflicted
MAJOR DAMAGE INFLICTED
Losing conscience in 3…2…1
“Let's get out of here piggy before the guards show up”
Some hours later
“HAAAAA!”, owe, my head, clutched it
Critical damage sustained, health points was decreased to 1 causing loss of conscience
“What the hell, where are my clothes!”
My shoes and shirt were stolen leaving only my pants and undershirt were all I had left.
“Oh no, the money!” Those bastards took everything
‘What do I do now, this can’t be it, nope’
“This is some hero origin story, yes, that’s it, has to be it”
Okay, this is some setback, I can fight through
Tears started rolling down, I started shaking
“I want to go home, this isn't fair, I did as I was told, I trained and I was ready to make something of myself for once in my miserable life but no I don't get that opportunity, why!”
I started slamming my fists against the floor, other people have it easy, they're smart, good looking, charismatic but me no, all I have is me, nothing extraordinary, only me
Feck this world and everything it stands for
I don't know for how long I was on the floor like but soon the sun came up, so quite some time must have passed.
I started walking through the markets when I noticed something peculiar
“That fecken bastard”, that same lizard meet salesman had my coin bad, he didn't have that yesterday
As I walked up to him a large man stopped in front of me
“watch where your going pal, that's the boss”
That voice was familiar, this is the same guy that slammed to the ground
I froze, not again, my mouth went dry, I couldn't say anything
“move or we are gonna have trouble” the pig said with a smile, seriously he was an orc, I also noticed that damn lizard salesman smiling as he was looking at me
I walked away….this is no different to back home, can't stand up for myself. Why couldn't I be big and strong, you know what? Screw everyone who uses physical force to threaten someone
I hate myself more everyday
Growl
“shut up stomach, we can't get hungry now”
I have to find a way to get food or I'm gonna die
