Chapter 3: The Feast
Jerry awoke to someone shaking him.
“Hero. Hero, please wake up. The feast is starting soon.” The Butler said, shaking Jerry from his slumber.
“Wha-What’s happening?” Jerry said, tired.
“The Feast. It’s starting soon. Please get dressed.” The Butler said.
“Got it. Wait for me outside.” Jerry said.
The Butler exited the room and left Jerry alone after that. Jerry got up and looked at the clothes he was provided. It seemed less stuffed compared to his current clothes and was softer than it as well. He quickly swapped clothes and noticed an extra bit of clothing. Jerry picked up the mask that was provided. It was made of metal, covered in a thin layer of leather, sewn together. It was decorated with a little bit of gold that spread out like a tree’s root.
‘Ugly’ Jerry thought to himself, but wore anyway. He remembered that he still had his phone, even through all that’s happened today. He took his phone off the other pair of pants and put it put it in the palms of his hands.
Jerry turned on his phone to see what time it was
10:43 A.M
‘Fuck. I need to set the time.’ Jerry thought. Jerry looked outside to find it was dark out. Jerry put the phone away, and left the room.
As he exited the door, he was greeted by The Butler and was promptly escorted to the Feast.
The doors to the Feast opened and Jerry was greeted to the smell of food, the sound of music, laughter and a sight to behold.There was food upon food lined at the tables, various people dressed in dresses, and fancy clothing all of various sizes and heights.
“Enjoy” The Butler said as he closed the door.
“Thank you” Jerry muttered under his breath
Jerry looked around to see what he could do. Putting on his mask, he walked around the room that was very spacious. There was probably about 100 people in the room, and there was still a fair bit of room remaining. There was a dancing floor in the center, and at the most northern part of the room was a staircase was T shaped. On the east and west side, there were tables that had food on them. On the southern side, is an entrance to the room Jerry came in from. However, Jerry took out his phone, some earbuds, and listened to some music to kill the time. He put one ear bud in, and left the other one out. He didn’t care for such festivities.He didn’t really like to be here as he felt out of place. As he was walking around, he found Larmen talking to different women that have decided to cater to him. He decided it would be best not to disturb him and moved to find somewhere quiet.

As he was walking around, Jerry overheard some talk about him from the Royal Guests.
“Who’s that man?”
“I heard from the King that he’s another summoned hero!”
“I heard he took a stone room. Fitting for a lowly creature that can’t even use magic.”
“Really? A hero that’s been summoned that can’t even use magic? Pitiful.”
“Honestly, what a joke of an excuse of a hero he is.”
“Everyone should be able to use basic magic. Even peasants can use magic if they so desired.”
“If he goes with the Hero, he might jeopardize his chances of defeating the Demon King.”
Jerry heard these remarks and ignored them. Looking over the Larmen, he could see that he was enjoying himself there. Shaking hands with noblemen, and entertaining the noblewomen and children.
Jerry found himself a nice little corner, and decided to take out his phone.

Jerry was confused. He had not heard of these weapons, or companies.
‘KlakTac? Caki? What the hell is this?’ Jerry thought.
Jerry thought for a moment. He had no idea what any of this was, and having no idea what it means, he was slightly interested. Jerry decided to pressed Yes as to see what would happen and if it would even come.

’30 minutes?’ Jerry thought.
“What the fuck did I just do” Jerry muttered under his breath.
“I don’t know, what did you do” Jerry looked up to see no one, but caught a small glimpse of pink hair. He put his phone down to reveal Emile.
“Oh, I didn’t see you there” Jerry said putting his phone away.
“What was that?” Emile said, pointing to his pocket.
“Don’t worry about it. Quick question, are there any flat lands nearby?”
“Yea, why?”
“Where is it?”
“Outside into the garden. Why?”
“Don’t worry about it. See ya” Jerry said as he took off.
“W-Wait!” Emile said before Jerry went into the halls.
