On our path to Central Gain, I couldn't help but to think about our journey. It has been two months since I met Wansai and somehow I was slowly moving forward. When I woke up in this strange world, I was frustrated. I was in a new world without any information alone. I didn't know where to go. I was at a loss.
I got accustomed to the sound of my head and the quests that followed after that. The quest given by the system helped me to level up. According to Wansai, this world was dangerous and an outlander like me should stay focused on strengthening up.
With that, a sound of chime let me know that I received a new quest.
-

Wansai and I were walking, we suddenly heard a female voice.
"Hey, you two there! Stop!"
Suddenly the sounds of shoes running towards us reveal a woman with long black hair. She was wearing some odd kind of clothing and high leg white boots. and she has a bow hanging behind her.
"May the Anemo God protect you, strangers. I am Diona, a member of Central Knight.
"Uh…uhm w-we're not looking for trouble!" Wansei statured and hid behind me.
"That's what all the troublemakers say," Diona answered before crossing her arms on her chest.
"Hello, my name is Red," I introduced my name.
Diona's eye averted to me and gave me a suspicious glare.
"That doesn't sound like a local name to me," she said, trying to study me. "And this… odd flying cat, what's the deal with it?"
"We're friends," I answered.
"Yeah and we've only been traveling partners for two months but we've already become the very best of friends!" Wansai seconded.
Diona glared at us, trying to assimilate us.
"So to sum it up, you're traveling partners, right?"
Wansai and I nodded.
"Well look, there's been a large dragon sighted around Gain recently. Best to get you inside the city as soon as possible. It's not far from here, I'll escort you there."
"Oh? Aren't you out here for some other reason?" Wansai asked Diona.
"I am. But not to worry, I can keep you both safe while doing that too," she answered and looked at me. "Beside…I'm still unsure if I can trust you two just yet!"
I heaved a sigh.
"That's a rather rude way to speak to a guest," I said.
Diona was taken aback to what I said and probably took a consideration to what I said because her hard facade melted.
"Oh, ahh…I'm sorry. That's probably not something I should say as a knight. I give you my apologies, uh…strange yet…respectable travelers."
"Hmmp! That sounded so fake!" Wansai blurted out and crossed his tiny front paws on his chest as he was floating.
"Do you have something against the type of language usage prescribed by the Master Knight?"
"Uhhh…"
Wansai scratched his head.
"Follow me," she said.
We continued our travel but this time with Diona as our guide.
"So suspicious travelers, what are you doing here in Gain?" she asked.
"I was separated from my sister from our very long journey," I answered.
"That's a rather unconvincing answer," she said. "But looking for a family member would be a pain in the ass," she added.
"Yes but she's my only family and I wanted to find her."
"I see."
Diona didn't ask any more questions and we walked in silence. As we were about to turn left, I saw a chest made of low class wood.
You might be reading a stolen copy. Visit Royal Road for the authentic version.
I got excited and walked towards it, leaving the two puzzled.
I opened it up and saw some things inside.
–
You open a common chest!
You obtained the following:
-1 Silver Sword
-3 Enhancement Ore
-1 fine Enhancement ore
–
My obtained things disappeared and then went all to my inventory. I reminded myself to check it as soon as we settled in the City that Diona was talking about.
A notification popped before me.
–
You obtained a two star weapon!
-
Suddenly a Tutorial screen popped out after the first screen vanished.
–

"Hey, traveler, we need to go. Don't just stand there and spacing out," Diona said. She was ahead of us. I think she turned around to check if we were following.
"Do you think she can't see that I was checking my Menu?" I whispered to Wansai beside me.
"No she can't. It's only you and I who can actually see it. She's basically a NPC," Wansai whispered back.
"Hey! Are you two coming or not?"
"We're coming. Sorry!"
Diona mumbled something which Wansai and I couldn't understand, not that we mind it at all.
We proceeded our interrupted walk again and we passed on some odd looking brown rocks. I used my Identify to learn what it was.
